Get comfortable with it. DANGER AFTER JUST 100 DAYS I DANGER AFTER JUST 100 DAYS I CAN REPORT TO THE NATION AMERICA IS ON THE MOVE AGAIN. CRISIS TO OPPORTUNITY, SETBACKS INTO STRENGTH. >> THANKS TO OPERATION WARP SPEED AT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OUR FAMILY HAS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE VACCINES. JOB OPENINGS ARE REBOUNDING. WHY WE FEEL SO DIVIDED? ANXIOUS? >> THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME THE RESPONSE HAS UPSTAGED THE PRESIDENT? TIM SCOTT SHOULD BE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. AINSLEY: LET’S BRING IN TIM SCOTT, GOOD MORNING, SENATOR. >> HOW ARE YOU? AINSLEY: SO PROUD OF YOU, SO MANY IN SOUTH CAROLINA JUST ADORE YOU AND LOVE YOUR PASSION FOR THIS COUNTRY, IT WAS SO UPLIFTING, SO COMPASSIONATE AND MANY PEOPLE ARE TALKING NOW. DO YOU THINK YOU WILL EVER RUN FOR PRESIDENT? >> I HAVE SAID IT OFTEN. I’M NOT READY FOR THE PRESIDENCY OF MY HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, THINKING ABOUT THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE LAND, I WANT TO BE REELECTED AS SOUTH CAROLINA’S JUNIOR SENATOR. A BLESSING TO LIVE IN A STATE WHERE THE POSSIBILITY OF REDEMPTION IS REAL AND MY LIFE, STORY OF GETTING IT WRONG AND GETTING IT RIGHT, SO MANY AMERICAN KIDS NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS THE PLACE AND YOU MAY BE THE PERSON
THAT CAN DO THE GREATEST THINGS THAT CAN DO THE GREATEST THINGS YOU EVER IMAGINED. BRIAN: I HAD AN EXPLANATION WHERE YOU CAME FROM, WHERE YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU WANT THE COUNTRY TO GO. THAT’S VERY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE ARE HEARING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.
HERE IS KAMALA HARRIS, THE VICE HERE IS KAMALA HARRIS, THE VICE PRESIDENT. >> SENATOR SIMS CONCERT LAST NIGHT THAT AMERICA IS NOT A RACIST COUNTRY. DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT AND WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF HIS WARNING AGAINST FIGHTING DISSEMINATION WITH MORE DISCRIMINATION? >> I DON’T THINK AMERICA IS A RACIST COUNTRY BUT WE HAVE TO SPEAK TRUTH ABOUT THE HISTORY OF RACISM IN OUR COUNTRY AND ITS EXISTENCE TODAY AND THE GREATEST THREAT TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY IS THE MYSTIC TERRORISM MANIFESTED BY WHITE SUPREMACISTS. THESE ARE ISSUES WE MUST CONFRONT AND IT DOES NOT HELP TO HEAL OUR COUNTRY TO UNIFY US AS A PEOPLE TO IGNORE THE REALITY OF THAT AND WE HAVE SO MUCH MORE IN COMMON THAN WHAT SEPARATES US AND TO UNIFY THE COUNTRY BUT NOT WITHOUT SPEAKING TRUTH. BRIAN: ARE YOU NOT SPEAKING TRUTH? >> THE RESPONSE TO MY SPEECH ON THE LEFT WAS FOR ME TO MENTION THE INTOLERANCE SO OFTEN COMES FROM THE LEFT WITH WORDS LIKE UNCLE TOM AND THE N-WORD BEING USED AGAINST ME BY THE LEFT AND LAST NIGHT WHAT WAS TRENDING ON
SOCIAL MEDIA WAS UNCLE TIM AND SOCIAL MEDIA WAS UNCLE TIM AND THEY DOUBLED DOWN ON THIS CONCEPT OF LIBERAL OPPRESSION. IT IS STARTING IN 2021 THOSE WHO SPEAK ABOUT ENDING DISCRIMINATION WANT TO END IT BY MORE DISCRIMINATION. LOOK AT COVID TACTICS, THE COVID PACKAGE ITSELF DISCRIMINATED AGAINST WHITE FARMERS. WHY WE HAD THE PICKFORD SETTLEMENTS IN THE EARLY 90s A BLACK FARMERS WOULD BE TREATED FAIRLY BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, NOW WE ARE GOING TO REVERSE THAT AND DISCRIMINATE AGAINST WHITE FARMERS. DID WE NOT LEARN THE LESSON THE FIRST TIME AROUND? IT HAS BEEN AN AMAZING MORNING WITH SO MANY GOOD PEOPLE CALLING, THEY HAVE DOUBLED DOWN THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ATTACK MY
POLICIES THE LITERALLY POLICIES THE LITERALLY ATTACKING THE COLOR OF MY SKIN. YOU CANNOT STEP OUT OF YOUR LANE ACCORDING TO THE LIBERAL ELITE LEFT, ONE OF THE REASONS YOU CAN HELP US BY GOING TO TIMSCOTT.COM, I’M VOTING FOR LINDSEY GRAHAM WITHOUT QUESTION. WE ARE IN FOR THE FIGHT OF OUR NATION. STEVE: WHAT LANE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT AND HOW DID IT
MAKE YOU FEEL WHEN YOU SAW THAT MAKE YOU FEEL WHEN YOU SAW THAT TOPIC TRENDING ON TWITTER? >> UPSETTING CERTAINLY BUT SO DISAPPOINTING THOSE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE RESPECTED AND GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE THEIR LIVES ANYWAY THEY WANT TO DON’T WANT THE SAME THING FOR YOU AND ME. WHAT THEY WANT FOR US IS TO STAY IN A LITTLE SMALL CORNER AND NOT GO AGAINST THE TIDE THEY THINK IS AMERICA. THERE AMERICA AND MY AMERICA AREN’T THE SAME AMERICA IF THEY THINK DISCRIMINATING IS THE FASTEST WAY TO END DISCRIMINATION. WE LEARNED LESSONS FROM OUR PAST AND WE SHOULD. RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION ARE STILL REAL BUT IT IS BEING PUSHED FURTHER AND FURTHER INTO A SMALLER CORNER IN OUR NATION. THAT IS GREAT NEWS WE SHOULD CELEBRATE PROGRESS BEING MADE BY BLACK FOLKS AND WHITE FOLKS WORKING TOGETHER, HISPANICS AND ASIANS COMING TOGETHER. IF YOU WANT TO BE ANY AMERICAN THE DOORS WIDE OPEN, TO ADD VALUE TO WHO WE ARE, TO NOT BE PART OF DESTRUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS THAT THE LITTLE INDIVIDUALS. I AGREE WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT ON ONE THING. THE INTERNAL STRUGGLE WE SEE IN OUR NATION OFTENTIMES LED BY THE LEFT IS A PROBLEM, A PROBLEM WE CAN SOLVE TOGETHER. THE AMERICAN FAMILY IS BIGGER THAN THAT, WE SHOULD ACT LIKE IT. BRIAN: IS BLACK LIVES MATTER HELPING OR HURTING THE COMING TOGETHER OF THE COUNTRY? >> THE FOUNDATION OF BLACK LIVES MATTER, THE COMMUNIST PARADIGM IS PROBLEMATIC, NO DOUBT A LOT MATTERS, IN LAW ENFORCEMENT CONVERSATION FOCUSING ON BLACK LIVES VERSUS WHAT YOU EXPERIENCED, THAT IS A HEALTHY DBASE BUT WHAT IS NOT HEALTHY, IT IS NOT HEALTHY FOR US TO ASSUME EVERY WHITE OFFICER IS LOOKING FOR EVERY BLACK PERSON TO VIOLATE CIVIL RIGHTS OR TO ENGAGE IN CONVERSATION WHERE REALITY IS THROWN OUT THE WINDOW, THE WE’VE NOT MADE PROGRESS. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT THE STATISTICS FROM 2000, 2010, 2020, YOU SEE A TREND IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BUT ACTUALLY, YOU’RE GETTING HEALTHY AND BETTER AS RELATES TO THESE CONFRONTATIONS. PUSHING BODY CAMERAS, MORE
INFORMATION TO LOOK AT AND IT INFORMATION TO LOOK AT AND IT IS STUNNING SOMETIMES BUT THE TRUTH IS WE HAVE FEWER INCIDENTS THAN 10 OR 20 YEARS AGO SO WE’RE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. SHOULD WE MOVE FASTER? OF COURSE WE SHOULD. ARE WE MOVING QUICKLY IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION? I THINK SO. AINSLEY: YOU WROTE THAT BILL TO FUND BODY CAMERAS, IN THE SHOOTING WE ARE ABLE TO SEE THE TRANSPARENCY FROM THESE POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND DEMOCRATS BLOCKED THE BILL FOR POLICE REFORM AFTER BREONNA TAYLOR, GEORGE FLOYD, MEETING WITH GEORGE FLOYD’S FAMILY, I’M SURE THEY WILL APPRECIATE THAT. WHAT WILL YOU TALK TO THEM ABOUT? >> I HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE TO MEET WITH 20 FAMILY MEMBERS TO DISCUSS THE TENSION IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. IN A REMARKABLE MEETING I WISH WE HAD CAMERAS, I WISH WE HAVE SEEN THE EMPATHY FROM DONALD TRUMP TOWARDS THE FAMILY OF THE RESPONSE AND RESPECT FROM THE FAMILY BUT WHAT I HOPE TO
ACCOMPLISH TODAY IS THE SAME ACCOMPLISH TODAY IS THE SAME THING I ACCOMPLISHED AFTER THE WALTER SCOTT SHOOTING, TO SIT DOWN AND LISTEN, LISTEN TO WHAT THE FAMILY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT, LISTEN TO THE PROPOSALS, SUGGESTIONS THAT REINFORCE COMMON SENSE AND FINALLY GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD TAKING ALL THAT INFORMATION TO HARD. OUR MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES TO HAVE CHARACTER DRIVEN OFFICERS WE CAN DEMONIZE LAW ENFORCEMENT LOOKING FOR GOLD, LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION. IT IS A LINE THAT IS BAD FOR THE COMMUNITY, BAD FOR OFFICERS. WE CAN FIND COMMON GROUND ON OTHER PARTS OF THE LEGISLATION. BRIAN: THE WASHINGTON POST HAD THIS HEADLINE, TIM SCOTT OFTEN TALKS ABOUT HIS GRANDFATHER AND COTTON. THERE’S MORE TO THAT TAIL. WHAT EXACTLY WAS THE FACT CHECKER TRYING TO CHECK REGARDING YOUR PERSONAL HISTORY? >> AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN MAN BORN IN 1921 WOULD NEVER HAVE PICKED COTTON. HIS GRANDFATHER OWNED LAND MEANT WE WERE PRIVILEGED, WHY MY MOTHER GREW UP ON THE PROJECT IN PUBLIC HOUSING, I HAVE NO IDEA. HERE’S WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO DO, TRYING TO DISCREDIT MY STORY, TRYING TO DISCREDIT MY GRANDFATHER AND MY MOTHER AND MYSELF FOR ONE REASON BECAUSE IT DOESN’T FIT THE NARRATIVE THAT IN AMERICA, POSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE WHO LOOK LIKE ME TO RISE TO THIS POSITION. THE TRUTH IS WE HAVE SO MANY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE, AND AFRICAN-AMERICANS, BY EDUCATION, EDUCATION AND STRONG WORK ETHIC. IT IS TRUE TODAY IS WHY I AM SITTING HERE. GOD HAS BLESSED TO DELIVER AMERICA AND A STRONG MOTHER AND OPPORTUNITIES THAT OFTENTIMES CAME FROM PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T LOOK LIKE ME. THAT MAKES AMERICA THE MOST REMARKABLE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. WE GO FROM THE INSIDE OUT, NOT BY OUTSIDE IN. BRIAN: GREAT JOB LAST NIGHT. JILLIAN: NUMBER ONE DRAFT PICK, TONIGHT THE DRAFT, TREVOR LAWRENCE FROM THE GREAT STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. THANKS FOR BEING ON THE SHOW.
