Tyrus calls out 'casual racism' from left against Tim Scott

>> THERE IS A COMING BACKLASH TO THIS LIBERAL OPPRESSION THAT IS BECOMING FRONT AND CENTER. AND THEY AREN'T EVEN HIDING THEIR HANDS ANYMORE, SEAN. THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT WE STAND IN THE GAP FOR THIS NATION BECAUSE THE GREATEST COMEBACK IN AMERICAN HISTORY IS ON ITS WAY. >> Bill: TIM SCOTT ON THE ATTACKS FROM THE LEFT WITH SEAN LAST NIGHT AFTER HE DELIVERED THE REPUBLICAN RESPONSE TO PRESIDENT BIDEN'S ADDRESS ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THOSE ATTACKS INCLUDED TWISTS ON OLD RACIAL SLURS. THE SENATOR SAYS THE DEMOCRATS ARE USING RACE TO TRY AND PULL OFF A POWER GRAB. TYRUS, FOX NATION HOST AND FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR HERE WITH US IN NEW YORK. HOW ARE YOU DOING, TYRUS? YOU ARE WATCHING THE BACK AND FORTH. >> GOOD MORNING TO YOU GUYS AS WELL. I TALKED ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT ON THE GREG GUTFELD SHOW LAST NIGHT WHERE WE ARE SEEING THIS CASUAL RACISM BY THE LIBERAL SIDE AND THEIR BACKFALL IS WE'RE STILL STUCK IN THE JIM CROW ERA, WHICH IS LAUGHABLE. AS I SAT AND WATCHED TT BIDEN'S SPEECH, THERE WAS A WOMAN OF COLOR AND AN OLD WOMAN STANDING BEHIND NUMBER ONE AND TWO IF SOMETHING WENT DOWN AND THE JOY OF SEEING A BLACK MAN REPRESENT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN THE RESPONSE WAS TO ME WHAT IS ALL ABOUT. IT WAS ABOUT EQUALITY, OPPORTUNITY, AND THE BROTHER SPOKE FROM HIS HEART AND PROTECTED HIS BRAND BUT HE SHOWED HE ALSO WAS INTERESTED IN BEING BIPARTISAN. WHAT WE GOT FROM THAT, FROM THE SIDE THAT'S ALL ABOUT VIRTUE AND DOING AND SAYING THE RIGHT THING THEY CALLED HIM UNCLE TIM. I GUESS I WILL BE UNCLE TYRUS. HE STOOD FOR WHAT HE BELIEVED IN. THE WHOLE VERY EXISTENCE OF MR. SCOTT IS THAT IN HIS GENERATION HIS FAMILY WENT FROM PICKING COTTON TO BEING IN THE SENATE. THAT MEANS SOMETHING. THAT IS WHAT THIS COUNTRY IS ALL ABOUT AND SHOWS WE AREN'T A RACIST COUNTRY ANYMORE. THE PEOPLE WHO SIT ON THEIR CHAIRS AND CALL HIM NAMES AND TALK ABOUT HIM USUALLY ARE PEOPLE OF COLOR. I ALSO SAID RACISM. IT IS NOT JUST FOR WHITE PEOPLE ANYMORE. HIS ATTACKS ARE COMING FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE. IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH ME I'LL MAKE FUN OF YOU AND CALL YOU A NAME AND GET RACIAL ON IT BECAUSE I CAN SAY THAT. YOU CAN'T SAY THAT. WE'VE GOTTEN TO A POINT WHERE EQUALITY IS EVERYWHERE IN THIS COUNTRY. WE ALL HAVE HURDLES, WHETHER THE COLOR OF OUR SIN, SIZE, SEXUAL ORIENTATION WE ALL HAVE HURDLES BUT IT'S ABOUT THE SAME. >> Dana: DO YOU THINK THE MEDIA AS THEY REPORT ON THESE STORIES MISSING THE MOMENT? YOU ARE OUT AND ABOUT IN THE COUNTRY A LITTLE MORE THAN I AM RIGHT NOW IN TERMS OF TRAVELING AROUND. WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM PEOPLE? >> THE BIGGEST THING I NEED PEOPLE TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SEEING ON TWITTER AND WHAT YOU ARE SEEING ON THE MEDIA IS NOT THE PULSE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. WE DON'T TALK LIKE THAT TO EACH OTHER. I LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN. I TRAVEL IN LOUISIANA AND GO TO FRESH MARKET EVERY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AND I AM GREETED BY ALL WALKS OF LIFE. USUALLY REALLY OLD WHITE WOMEN WHO TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO BETTER AND HOW PROUD THEY ARE THAT I REPRESENT THEM, A GIANT BLACK MEN REPRESENTS THEIR THOUGHTS. THAT'S WHAT WE SEE. MY KIDS PLAY WITH ALL WALKS. WE DON'T HAVE THESE ISSUES. THEN WE TURN ON THE TV AND LIKE WATCHING A TRAIN WRECK. REALITY AND SENSATIONAL TV AND PUSHING A RACIST AGENDA IS A GREAT FUNDRAISING TOOL AND THE HEADLINES. HOW DO YOU GET PEOPLE TO WATCH? TONIGHT RACISM AND PEOPLE TUNE IN AND IT'S SAD. >> Bill: JOE BIDEN WAS THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN PRESIDENT FOR YEARS AND HE WAS ON THE PLATFORM AS WELL. TIM SCOTT SAYS WE'RE NOT A RACIST COUNTRY. HE DIDN'T SAY WE'RE PERFECT. >> HE DIDN'T. VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AGREED WITH HIM. WERE THEY CALLING HER AUNTIE HARRIS, NO, BECAUSE SHE IS ON THEIR SIDE. IT IS TERRIBLE TO ME THEY GET AWAY WITH IT AND THEY AREN'T TREATED THE SAME AS IF LET'S SAY OLD EARL GOT ON HIS PORCH SAYING THERE SHOULDN'T BE BLACKS IN THE WHITE HOUSE. HE WOULDN'T BE AT WORK ANYMORE. WHEN THE OTHER SIDE DOES IT THEY GET A CHECK. THEY PRETEND THERE IS A GIANT PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU CAN CONTROL IT AND MOLD IT BUT THIS ISN'T. IF YOU CAN GO ON TV AND TRASH SOMEONE YOU DISAGREE WITH BECAUSE YOU ARE A LIBERAL OR PERSON OF COLOR THAT SCREAMS NOT ONLY EQUAL OPPORTUNITY COUNTRY AND YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AND I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE CAN DO THAT ANYMORE. >> Dana: WHEN YOU GO TO THE FRESH MARKET, HOW MANY PEOPLE ASK YOU TO GET SOMETHING FROM THE TOP SHELF FOR THEM? >> EVERYBODY. IT'S THAT AND ASKING TO REACH OVER THE COUNTER. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, IF YOU
