Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tim Scott's not really a major player either, Senator from
South Carolina. I really like him. He's the most liked
candidate in the race, according to all the pundits on
the Republican side. And he went on The View yesterday,
which is he's getting a lot of credit for going
into an unfriendly forum, whereas DeSantis has mostly gone places
where he's going to be loved and not challenged. Tim

(00:20):
Scott goes right into the.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
View, and I was curious to know does he have
the stuff to defend his views and counter those expressed
by the uh rather savage, snipy and one sided host.
You know, it's funny that this should happen because normally
ninety percent of the time, ninety nine percent of the time,
I completely ignore the view. It's idiotic and nobody should
watch it. But I came across an article in the

(00:42):
New York Times. I think it was a column by
a woman who's a long time, huge fan of the View,
who says it's become insufferable. It's one hundred percent one sided. Now,
Barbara Walters always staunchly defended it as a place people
could come and exchange views and disagree with each other. Respectfully,
then do a celebrity in it. But it was always
a forum that prized fairness. Now it's just percent progressive.

(01:06):
So anyway, you know, why don't we start with a
clip that was not of the View. It's clip number
twenty five. This is Tim Scott talking to Sean Hannity
about why he went on.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Can you imagine an extreme liberal elitis telling me how
to be a black man in America when she's a
white lady who dresses up in black face. I can't
believe the hypocrisy that comes out of that show sometimes.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
So that was that was a little more frank than
he was on the View, which is almost too bad,
because I do like a good get all.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
You gotta be polite, do you?

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:43):
I guess you do. Anyway, So here are a couple
of the things he said to the cackling Hens twenty Michael, what.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Is your definition of systemic racistem Let.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Me answer the question that you've asked, or does it
even exist in your mind? Let me answer the question
this way. One of the things I think about, and
one of the reasons why I'm on the show is
because of the comments that were made frankly on the show.
That the only way for a young African American kid
to be successful in this country is to be the
exception and not the role. That is a dangerous, offensive,

(02:13):
disgusting message to send to our young people today, that
the only way to succeed is by being the exception.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
And he went into some detail on that. I agree,
You've heard me say it on a hundred times. I
think to tell a child you can't succeed is to
poison them. I think that's one of the most vicious, cruel,
awful things you can do to a child. The physical
abuse would not be as bad as convincing them in
their soul to give up on life as a child.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yeah, it is pretty awful. He's right. Disgusting is the
right word for it. And he talked when he announced
a week or two ago about how you can make
it in this country. Anyone can, regardless of your skin color,
and he's proof of it. And Joey Behar of The
View said he doesn't understand racism the rich white Manhattan lady,
which is really God. That is a ballsy thing to

(03:04):
say for someone with no testes. I mean, wow, I
can't imagine saying that out loud like that.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
That maybe it is one of the worst stupidest things
ever said in the history of television.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Just be like me saying to it, you don't understand
what it's like to be a woman, or you know
just what that's what an incredibly out of bounds thing
to say.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Why don't you say that with a bud light in
your hand. Dylan
