all right today we're joined with Senator Tim Scott Tim thank you for your time today good to be with y'all yes sir so first question of the day uh the hot question everyone wants to know uh Trump's assassination attempt what are your thoughts on that what a crazy day I mean I I'll say this if you did not believe in miracles before Saturday you should darn sure believe in miracles today I a question this you know just to see a bullet you can see the the little picture of a bullet crossing right by his head if you think about the fact that if that was one inch in the other direction he'd be dead I think our country would be in absolute turmoil today so there's no doubt that I I saw divine intervention real time a miraculous manifestation undeniable in a way that the that that no one can deny that fact the good news is when you feel like you get a second chance of life I think you take it very seriously and you start looking at ways to help people and I think this is going to be a momentous uh election and hopefully we'll Empower more people in more places to do their own thing and that's a good thing definitely definitely that's very well said um next question uh so you were on the short list to become Trump's VP and he just announced JD Vance so what's next for Tim Scott you has a good question you listen my my my deal is a simple one I was a kid that grew up in poverty single parent household my mom worked 16-hour days and I got to say my true American hero there's no one more powerful more important to me than Francis Scott and uh my mom sacrificed for me and my brother into in such ways that when I went into politics in public service I did it for one reason I wanted to make sure that kids growing up like I did have a chance to experience their version of the American dream and for me that means education is the closest thing to Magic I was a kid y'all don't know my complete story but part of it is the fact that as a freshman in high school I basically failed out oh wow I felt four subjects in my freshman year I fa world geography and Civics Civics is the study of politics yes so I say God has a sense of humor when I'm sitting here as the United States Senator after failing Civic my freshman year it's a trip I failed Spanish and English oh wow my joke is if you fail Spanish and English don't nobody call you bilingual they call you by ignant because you can't speak any language I was a lost man I'll be honest with you but in God's grace a mama who believe that love comes at the end of a switch y'all know me about the switch uh no sir switch oh the switch that you BW up with yeah okay I look at his face like I'm not sure about him I I felt the pain I felt the power you know when the power is is released on you you get you act together fast oh yeah and uh I know it's not popular anymore but my mama taught me very very valuable lessons as a kid and as a result of that what I'm going to do going forward is to remember the lessons I learned from Francis Scott and make sure that I work on education opportunity I think school choice is really important definitely and financial literacy I'm a guy oh yeah that's a big one that believes if we don't teach people the three three ways to create wealth in this nation we're going to miss the boat three ways to create wealth is real estate Equity position in the marketplace and small business ownership if we understand those three opportunities then we can Empower people growing up like I did to experience the highest Heights this nation has to offer yes sir yes sir that's great that's awesome like I really agree with a lot of things you said school choice financial literacy is huge massive man man that makes a m difference a couple years ago I I created something with um Visa in the NFL called um Financial football and the whole goal was to get this disc and it's like John Madden we've all played John Madden right of course yes sir yeah yeah yeah so I used to play my nephew when he was a kid I I'd get the super team he had the worst team in the NFL he still win so I hadot lot of work to do there but finish football gives you a chance to actually gain yards by answering questions what is the savings account what is a uh uh what are derivatives what's a mortgage by getting kids engaged I did that at my old high school my alma moer I brought in Greg Olen oh nice yeah and and he and the TD uh Thomas Dixon I think it is he was number 54 think for the Carolina Panthers oh yeah Thomas Davis the linebacker so those two came in they coached one team I coach the other team they should have coached with me anyways uh they're better football players but I was a better coach at that time we won and but it was so much fun watching these kids learn about money in in an environment that they found fun and exciting I I think the more fun you have the easier it is to remember absolutely and so I want to make sure I focus on giving the poorest kids in our nation access some of these tools that can change not only their lives but their mama's life when I was playing football in high school and a little bit to college my whole goal was to get my mom out of poverty it wasn't to make a ton of money just for me it was I wanted her to have a nice house with a garage and so to the extent I can take those lessons no matter my position my mission Remains the Same yes sir oh so so where did you play college football at Presbyterian College oh awesome we are are colst as well we are R track at University Louisiana okay yes sir what was your event I was a sprinter 400 meters my main event wow I got to say now I was not a college Sprinter I was a high school Sprinter I was about two seconds slower than than 100 meters what was your 100 meters [Music] 10 I'll be right back I have I was in high school everybody got Glory years Glory swords definitely definitely my best time in high school I went to the state championship tell you how slow South Carolinians are compared to S this mon um actually we got some really fast athletes I went to the state championship but I was a 200 pound Sprinter uhhuh I my best time was 110 oh wow I thought that was fast hey I can't even see you at 10 one 200 lb 200 lb that's football speed right there though make something happen with the football right there I also I also went for the shot put okay yes sir for the state state but um and the 4 by 100 relay so I love track now what was your 400 time uh 470 is my fastest time so people run under 50 oh yeah oh wow okay I didn't know that yes sir 800 so you must have been 155 golly y some athletes in here brother yes sir wow yes sir hurdles yeah 140 dang yes sir okay yes sir so next question uh after the debate uh the Democrat Party is in absolute shambles the media is in shambles they're calling for Biden to drop out and be replaced do you think that will actually happen I think they have a multi hundred million dollar problem oh definitely they can't have Biden drop out because they lose all that money and if you don't have the money it's hard to win definitely and so for Joe Biden to drop out they have to figure out how to raise another $200 million yeah and the donor is already pressing hold pressing the breaks 9 million theyed paused it so the reality of it is if you can't have the money you can't run a successful campaign and frankly the Democrats don't want KL Harris to be the ticket top of the ticket not the she's not the answer and so if she's not the answer where do you go when they played so much identity Politics on the left where they're trapped in this game of identity politics they can't go with Nim they got to go with in my opinion a person of color and and I don't know that you can take KL Harris put it on top of the ticket I don't think so I don't think Democrats want that nah so bottom line is that they're stuck with Joe definitely yeah and and I've seen where uh they keep the media is like actually criticizing Joe Biden like that's how you know it's bad when the New York time comes out and says it's time for a change you know you know it's in desperation mode but the the funny thing is they're not trying to change him out as president they're trying to change him out as a candidate wow that tells me a lot that means that they're not concerned about the health and the well-being of the country they're concerned about whether or not he can win or lose yeah so they're not they're playing politics because it's about power not the people yeah definitely and and they've done all this propping up of him change confence for years man and it's it's all falling apart yes sir I saw this uh I saw this little clip of um I think it was Chuck Todd he was talking to someone that one of the cabinet members told Chuck Todd two years ago that Joe wasn't there oh wow not like he used to be and and so with that as a reality that means that the new has been complicit with gaslighting the American people absolutely about the health and mental Fitness of the president of United States oh definitely that's why people don't trust the news anymore man the the the trust in Legacy Media is at an alltime Lev exactly key word legacy yes sir because there's still good Outlets but you got to go search and find it definitely but the national media as we know it has been such an extension of the Democrat Party that no longer do people look at that and say you know what I can trust what they say oh that's 100% they came to the point where they triy to say it was deep fakes like this is you're not fooling anybody well that's why when you get fresh real faces like y'all telling the story having a conversation people want to tune in that's why y all so popular because at the end of the day we don't have to agree on everything but if I can get the facts and not just your commentary I can come to my own decisions my own conclusions but if I always get your commentary and not the facts it's hard to form good final decisions about what's in my best interest yes sir yes sir last question I got for you man so the media is in desperation mode as we just discussed they keep trying to use this project 2025 to discredit the Trump campaign yeah what are your what are your coms on listen the bottom line is simply that's you know Heritage Foundation put out project 2025 in an attempt to make sure that there were lots and lots of people and a strong agenda for the president to take up here's what we know about Donald Trump Donald Trump makes decisions for Donald Trump nobody else does so you can come up with 19 different projects at the end of the day but we know is Donald Trump is going to do what he's done before like he brought African-American unemployment to the lowest level in the history of the country how did he do that well he cut taxes and gave people their money back he I wrote the the personal side of the tax code one of the things I did when I was writing that part of the tax code was I thought about my single mom on average in 2017 she was she should be making around $39,000 that's the average wage for a single mom in America we C her taxes by 70% wow that's huge we doubled the child tax credit that's a big difference we believe that if you have your money it is easier for you to support your family don't take the money away and say I know more than you know about where to send your kid to school I know more than you know about how much gas you need in your car how about just trust me don't be so paternalistic yeah about your approach to governing people yeah that's very true like how they GNA tell you what to do with your money you can't tell me I went to my barber shop and said what do we believe in we believe in letting you keep your money hey I know they like that nobody said a word yes sir they said well they did say a word after I got done they said Republican like yeah I'm still Republican you want me to keep my money like yes they were like all right I can do that man because if you make Common Sense Common Sense Works whether you're r or d whether you're blue or whether you're red most people care about G re n green and when we do that we find ourselves having a serious conversation about how we actually see upward Mobility definitely definitely definitely well thank you for your time yes appr man all right now Brock what's up man yes sir 101 101 yeah man we have to line up outside might have to break no sir we won't I I was I was I was a second slower than you 40 years ago no but that was a high school a you were 200 lb though that's true now I'm more than 200 lb I'm even slower today than I was then okay but I don't mind racing okay I like competition so I wanted to ask you a little bit about your football career and how cuz I saw you had a wreck right you got into a ruined your football career it did for for in many ways listen I was a talented kid uh junior year I was averaging a little bit over six yards a carry uh I was doing very well um would I've ever made the NFL who who knows but I I had good talent I had good work I think my senior year coming into my senior year my mom as I was saying earlier she she struggled to keep the ends together we had way too much month at the end of the money and one of the things she had to do is she worked early in the morning till late at night and so we only had one car so I would drive her to work in the morning 6 o'clock 6:30 in the morning about 30 minutes away and I'd drive back get ready for football practice you back in August you doing two days you know um and so one August morning August 27th um I was taking her to work coming back home and I just got sleepy and so I rolled the windows down I didn't say push the button I had to roll my windows down because we didn't have no electricity in that car right roll the windows down I rolled them up and and I turned the AC on and the heat on and the up the next thing I knew I was I heard the gravel underneath my tires I had R I slid off the off the road but I fell asleep for about 15 seconds or so I'm not sure how long I slam on the brakes and jerk the steering wheel and when you do both at the same time on the interstate at 70 mil an hour your car doesn't spin it rolls so my car rolled back into rush hour traffic through two lanes I hit the median went up in the air cars went underneath me I go through the windshield with my back back holding onto the steering wheel I was yelling for help sing I said Jesus ended up coming back on the opposite Lanes of traffic in a ditch glass everywhere blood everywhere had shards of glass out of coming out of my back my ankle was was broken and you know I missed seven weeks of my football season as a result of that accident six weeks of the games and one week of the practice and lots of potential scholarships went out the window I ended up with a small scholarship to presan college go blue host and I became a Christian and I will say for me uh the worst ever experience in my life was losing what I thought was my only way out of poverty was through football but God In His Infinite Wisdom birthed a new dream of leadership in that moment I I gave up my football scholarship went to Charleston Southern University then called Baptist College on a Christian leadership scholarship I had to work full-time um because it wasn't enough to pay for pay for my education but as a result I found myself going into politics and fast forward three decades later I'm blessed to serve the United States of America as one of 100 wow so what I didn't see was a plan Romans 8:28 reminds me that all things work together for good for those who love God and call according to his purpose so for me uh just the the the Brilliance of of of a backup plan that I did not know even existed at the time became God's primary way of helping me bless this country and and bless frankly my mom wow amen amen that's that's beautiful I like that a lot I see how it completely changed your perspective and got you into what's what you're in now which is one being a huge politician and a prominent figure in the black community as well so one thing you mentioned was you felt like football was your only way out of poverty yes I feel like in the black community a lot of kids feel like that like football basketball or rap is almost your only way 100% how do we change that perspective in that narrative you know one of the things try to do to change their perspective because it's a lie number one right we got to tell like it it's a lie Ian we were talking he was smiling by there by the camera about financial literacy being so important what we get in the in in sometimes in in the poorest communities in our country is this this tailored message just for us that the only way out is through Athletics or entertainment those are two ways they're not even the best ways but there are two ways I I run into a mentor when I was 15 years old who told me that I about being a business owner I could think my way out of poverty not to suggest that people in poverty aren't thinking because some of the smartest people I've ever met in my entire life never got access to Opportunities because they lived in the wrong ZIP code when that's a reality we had to figure out how to bring opportunity to those zip codes that's why I created opportunity zones so we could bring opportunity to the ZIP code $70 billion do coming into the poorest parts of the country because of my legislation but I understood going looking back that if I just knew that being a business owner investing in a market owning a house starting a small business were ways for me to alleviate poverty not just for me for for my mama I would have been more motivated about thinking than not just playing so in my estimation that one of the ways that we have to change the narrative is to go into those areas and tell the story I go to a school every school year several times a year different schools just to share the gospel of hope to be an ambassador of hope that there are multiple ways out just because of where you live or what you look like doesn't doesn't confine you to a lower standard of living we have to open that mind up with the mind is open I I heard this when I was about 18 19 years old with the mind of man can conceive and believe the body can achieve wow wow that's that's very interesting that's very true too I I really like that yeah so we sat down with Byron Donald's and Wesley hunt we talked about a lot of the problems that are in the black community and how the left kind of pushes that victim mentality on to the the kids a lot and I feel like they do that and then turn around and say Republicans are racist and not for like helping you know poverty and black people but then you just told us about how you raised all this money and helped all these kids that are in poverty how is it that the left is able to to push this this narrative that Republicans aren't for poverty listen when you have a monopoly in a community you disrespect that Community Democrats have had a monopoly in our community for more than five decades and what do we have to show for their Monopoly there aren't enough diverse voices and I'm not talking about the color of your skin I'm talking about your political ideology there's not enough competition for the minds of our people and one of the things I hope to do is continue to do is introduce that competition because you think about it go go I when I was running for president I went to the south side of Chicago ain't nobody running for president going to south side of Chicago everybody running for president should go to the south side of Chicago why because you'll find some people who love the Lord who love their families who work long hours for a little bit of money and they just need a little bit of Hope and on the south side of Chicago they they have had a Democrat controlled City for 100 years almost since 1927 and the worst crime you can find not not all Chicago on the South Side thousands of people are shot every single year you don't hear no new stories about that no no BLM about that exactly the poorest kids on the South Side are not allowed hear me not allow to go to another Public School in their own City H run by Dems wow people say you sold out because you're a republican let me sell out then because I'm going to bring the truth back to my community I have an obligation and a responsibility and I believe that God Almighty does not waste a single characteristic he made me black on purpose I am a proud African-American but I'm also proud to tell my people the truth and the truth is there is a better way better way than the Democratic Monopoly that keeps you down because it's about their power not about your progress wow that's very interesting especially coming from you know people like us who look like us typically not really on the right so circling back to that so when you stop playing football and decided to get into politics did you were you already kind of thinking like more conservatively or yeah I was always conservative I mean the thing that happened for me my my grandfather was a powerful influence on my my life uh he died 8 years ago would miss him to this day but I got to tell you artist wear was his name artist wear grew up in a small little southern town called Sally South Carolina he was born in 1921 there was when he was in third grade eight years old they looked at him and said there's no need for an educated black boy your life will be picking cotton and he was forced out of school he never learned to read barely WR wrote his name but he was the wisest man I knew knew and he's the one that told me when my parents got divorced and we had to move away from comfort and into poverty he's the one that told me you can be a victim or you can be victorious but you can't be both wow you got to pick one brother and and and for a man who understood the scars of racism that had been torn his soul apart for that man to tell me it is not okay to be a victim if you want to live a good life so so taking the lessons of artist wear harnessing that power has given me the opportunity to tell the story especially in our community not everybody wants to hear it but let me tell you I don't you don't need to be a republican you don't need to be a Democrat follow your interest whoever represents your interest vote for them Wow might be both sides okay okay cool that's that's yeah that's that's very interesting okay I have one last question and it might be a little different I don't know if you ever got this question but um I've seen recently like a lot on the left I see it a lot they they demonize people who are in interracial relationships and I'm mixed so my dad is black my mom is white so I've never understood like two people are happy and y'all are for progressiveness and you know lgtbq and all that and y'all accept that but then yet a black person gets with a white person and now it's a problem so I see every about to get married congratulations on that have you gotten any backlash for that you know I have yeah let's just tell it let's be real yeah you know I have listen I I cannot understand how the the Progressive Party who believes in Freedom and liberal Liberty for everybody except me except you except your parents exactly come on man let's think about this now let's be serious who come Harris married to white guy yeah yeah I'm sorry how about Justice Jackson white white and bright I mean listen I mean I'm just saying how can you be so hypocritical so hypocritical so judgmental yeah H what what happened to MLK's concept of judging people on the content of their character not the color of their skin judge me on what I do judge me sure but don't come to a conclusion who I am because you don't like my party or my wife yeah I don't need you yeah but you know what we do need to make a difference and I don't care I'm looking into this camera I want y'all to hear me completely clearly I love all people I thank God he made me black I love all people but he called me to a higher purpose to a higher calling to love all of his children he says in Galatians 328 strange news for some but the real real we are all adopted into the same family that that there is no Jew or Gentile there is no Greek we're all in the same family my last comment yeah y' I'm a novice at the Bible but I really like it it tells really cool stories here's one of the coolest stories right so this is this dude named Moses we Ain never heard of Moses right Moses marries this egyp he marries this black woman from Africa his sister and his brother did not like the fact that he married a black woman from Africa I didn't know that check it out God cursed them oh I it was leprosy if I got it right that's a bad one and then Moses had to pray for his brother and sister to be cured from the leprosy because they were like no seriously I'm sorry we ain't talking about your wife no more here's my point if the Lord himself had no issues with it why can't your mama and your daddy be happy that they got a smart engaged young man who's a lot faster than United States senators trying to make a difference your way appreciate that man that's a blessing it's a blessing to be able to say I got this talent I have these abilities I'm not just going to hold them on to me and make a bunch of money just for me I'm actually going to invest myself in the hardest way possible but do it because I believe that our community needs teach to hear the whole story and then you decide that's called real thank you man God bless you brother God bless you man thank you so much this was great amen absolutely absolutely
