Democrat beside their name or a show on NBC News joining Us South Carolina, Senator TIM Scott Senator, I thought the speech was amazing. Im sorry, it saddens me. I have many conservative african american friends and they go through the same thing. Read his book, blacklash, Google, my name Sean, thank you for having me on your show: Votetim Scott dot com viewers, her the response. So thank you so much for that. The left has lost her mind today. It is really saddening to see that what the left is doing is fighting bigotry with bigotry. They have expose their hypocrisy and their true motivation. It has nothing to do with ending prejudice. It has everything to do with claiming or getting more power. I have never seen such power grab and using people in such a
despicable way. It is really disheartening to see the left response. Frankly, even twitters response to racism and racial slurs if it comes from the left and must be okay according to twitters response, twelve hours later, but thanks to your viewers for going to votetimscott dot com. Thank you all. So much that really made a difference. Lindsay is right, the next several months, if not the next two years of my life, will be standing in the gap for what we know as traditional american values. We love people, not parties. We love the content, not the color. Our nation stands in greatness because we fought back against those darker angels and we believed, frankly, in the better angels. I wish for Democrats who always virtue signal, take a look at the mirror and ask themselves with a put up with that from anyone other than
themselves and if you wont police, yourselves, dont, look to the other side. Meghan Mccain actually said something I agree with. If you are okay with this dont talk to me about involving race, I thought I was pretty powerful statement on behalf of her. You know im watching all of this unfolds. It is sad because we have known each other now many years and its just its just wrong and in this woke, cancel culture. It seems like there are very few areas where this type of intolerance is accepted and it seems to be accepted by major news organizations. Do you have a message to them? Specifically tonight well, in my opinion, what they are fueling is a backlash. Maybe they dont realize it or not, but at some point people get sick and tired of being sick and tired, and they start reacting as opposed to responding to the
criticism and the negativity, fortunately, for me, ive had to endure for the last couple of years, as I keep coming to the conclusion that we got it right, so the most inclusive economy. Frankly, in american history, the last administration President Trump, we created seven million jobs with two thirds going to African Americans and Hispanics and women. We saw the lowest unemployment rate. We didnt care, whether you were black or white. We looked for for ways to expand opportunities and give people options to make their own decisions thats. What America is about and sure we have had some challenges we keep rising to the occasion we confront the person in the mirror which allows us to move over, but the left Shawn. The left refuses to do that. The left wants to find a scapegoat as opposed to helping build a better America. What they want to do is spend six dollars trillion. Where are we going to get it from? They dont care to do what
to make sure that they have a permanent underclass people that think they can control, but what I am seeing- and I spoke to President Trump today- what we are seeing happen is this response from good in tented people who happen to be black, who happen to be hispanic. Who happened to be white who happen to be asian, rising up and saying. You wont tell me what to think im going to decide that for myself. So there is a calming backlash to this liberal oppression that is becoming front and center and they are not even hiding their hands anymore, Sean thats, why its so important that we stand in the gap for the nation, because the greatest comeback in american history is on its way. You know its amazing. You give specific examples of racism. Nobody has doubted. There are ignorant racist people, there are evil people in this world and nobody that I know wants any
thing to do with those ignorant people. We have a subset group of people. I think the majority of Americans are good, honest, decent people. The beauty of our founders- I would argue you can agree or disagree- is that they created a system where you can write wrongs, correct injustices come become a more perfect union. We have a history of doing all of that and a lot of bloodshed in the process and a lot of heroism and encourage along the way by people of all races and then im like but Joe Biden. How does he get away with praising the guy that filibustered the civil rights civil racks Dominic? He doesnt want school T Dominic, he doesnt want school t racial jungles and not one person on NBC News or in the media mob or in the Democratic Party, seems to care about that history, because maybe im wrong Senator Scott, but if a Republican, Donald Trump or any other Republican have the background and history im
pretty sure they would criticize him daily. What do I know im just a talk show host. It would be unrelenting. There is no doubt about that Sean. We would have a cascading effect. We would never see the light of day because we would become of the drumming would never stop. The truth of the matter is that hypocrisy needs to stop. I am a black man. I am proud to be black. I happen to be a conservative, because I came to the conclusion a long time ago that conservative policies and principles is the way that we set people free free to be whoever they want to be. You actually are free to disagree with me, that is the beauty of America, and what the Democrats are selling is that you are not free to be yourself. You cannot disagree with the Democrats. You cant disagree with progressive liberals and still be seen as mainstream in this country. Two last questions: why does Joe Biden get a pass on
his background, his history and what did Donald Trump say to you today? Number one ill start with good news, good and bad news, good news Trump called me just say he thought I did a spectacular job. He said it was fantastic. It was spectacular. He really enjoyed listening to it, im glad that he listened to it my and he wants to make sure that we keep working to get things done for the country. Believe it or not. One of the things that we talked about for a very short lack of time was how to make progress for the most vulnerable. He is still focusing on getting things done from a policy standpoint by encouraging us to continue down the path that leads to american progress. On the other side, I have asked the same question: the nineteen ninety four Biden prison bill. It was a prison bill. It incarcerated disproportionately african Americans. Can you imagine any republican talking about putting people back in chains or saying that if
you dont vote for me, you are not black. I dont know what it is about this paternalism that comes from the left, but it is front and center and it is shameful im actually sad for them because they are going to continue unless we stand in that gap to teach people that this nation and who we are is antithetical to the actual reality that I have lived. My grandfather has lived Daniel Cameron, James Carson, and the list just goes on once again. Thank you, Sean for your work and thank you Lindsay for helping me raise resources at votetimscott dot com. Your race is important. You are up in twenty twenty two one thing I do know, and I have talked to a lot of my friends in South Carolina. They were never more proud of you than last night. Thank you, Sir, for being with us, and I am sorry that you had to go through that the last.
