>> FOX across America with Jimmy Fallon. And if the band sounds fired up
as the DJ South fired up it’s
because he is joining us now
in studio. What a good get by
our producer every once in
awhile, Mikey likes to flex a
little muscle right in the
building and just bring in some
like you know top tier muscle
This is Mike we’ll probably get
hit up for a raise after the
South Carolina superstar
senator.
>> Tim Scott in studio a man
Jim, you know the deal is
business be good for Us
you stop and it’s a big deal
for me because you saw all the
toys in the studio agreed to
come on anyway with housing
about mobile fit Buffett yeah,
the bizarre and yeah are you
fan a little This is old-school
star Wars, this is one of the
starters will see I was working
at moved into Iraq. The U.S..
It was the return of the jet I
remember the greatest of all
the Star Wars in my
humble opinion hold on you get
a lot of trouble for making
movie Dhaka we’re still
embroiled in this rocky 3
controversy. Well there is some
controversy around rocky one
rocky to rocky
3 but rocky 9 Step in the
latest Rockies like battling
arthritis they just keep going
on it is this it is when you
find out what makes you money
you do more of it until the
audience by haha well in the in
the return of the Jedi remake
oddly enough the jet it doesn’t
come back as he can’t afford
gas money. Well is it was the
Carter years and now though
yeah I did you save big on that
there are things that seem to
repeat itself history has a way
of doing that that’s what they
say so you have a great book
we’re going to get to in a
minute, it’s called America, a
redemption story, the hope and
creating unity to excited to
talk about. But I want to get
you on record on some news of
the day stuff because we
essentially in passing in
inflation reduction act are
basically fighting a spending
problem by spending more money
is that what I’m the talking to
friends earlier I call the
inflation seductions the
Democrats of trying to seduce
the American people and believe
in what they’re saying and not
what they’re seen yet all you
have to do is to pull up at a
gas station and you know that
there is been no reduction
inflation and number 2. What
caused inflation was
overspending so what do you do
if you’re in charge, this been
more. This it is contrary to
common sense, but mainstream
for the Democrats, yes,
well that’s what’s so crazy is
like we’re trying this is the
equivalent of trying to drink
yourself. Sober I tried in
college several times a lot of
which explains my GP I in
college, but it wasn’t my it
was that might be
a C hit stick with me we’re
talking to South Carolina
senator Tim Scott and you know
once the bill passed.
You notice a lot of their
allies in the media championing
this is a climate bill o’brien
even Chuck Schumer saying oh I
think that the American people
up if they love the contents of
this bill so much.
Why didn’t they title it what
it was which was a climate
spending bill and we know the
answer right exactly because
the American people are
interested in a conversation
about anything other than the
economy, inflation and gas
prices and this bill misses the
mark drastically. I
can understand how the
Democrats of today.
Completely miss the reality of
the modern
society, literally I can’t
figure out what they don’t
understand about gas prices
over $4 a gallon in a
lot of the schedule was bad,
yeah, I don’t notice and what
they will understand about
going to wal-mart or to your
grocery store and seeing 1415
20% increase in the cost
feeding your family. It’s
not stunning. What’s weird
because it speaks to them just
not having a connection to the
people they purport to care
about too much time in
Washington not enough time in
the rest of the country there
it is they need to go see top
gun with Tim Scott there you go
senator Scott runs a good movie
program I saw toys I recommend
every American and to every
red-blooded Americans to see
top gun. And every red book
read brother red-blooded
American should be voting in
this upcoming election to kick
the Democrats out of office and
restore sanity to the American
people could imagine. I
can’t we’re at to put it in top
gun terms, okay.
We are on a highway to the
danger zone that I can hear the
if you’re looking if you’re
hiring 87,000 IRS agents that’s
a bad thing but you’re telling
me you’re not going to increase
audits. I mean imagine me
telling my dad that’s a dumb
thing I bought 87,000 red solo
cups but I’m not having a keg
party exactly where this
with Jimmy.
>> The size of the just
increased by 6 100%.
That’s madness. It is now going
to be larger the FBI.
And the
State Department combined
that’s bananas and according to
the CBO. The Congressional
Budget Office, 90% of the
targeting will be under
$200,000. Middle America, low
income Americans and small
business owners that is knots
stunning and that is not making
the rich pay their fair share
well there’s no goal.
>> Within this administration
of of targeting
the rich yeah, they’re
targeting the middle class
because that’s where the money
is low as it gets a good point
you make because we’re talking
South Carolina senator Tim
Scott when I see that there’s a
subsidy in there for people
earning over $300,000 a
year that does not strike me as
fighting for the little guy not
at all one of the things you’ll
find a book by the way to run
America redemption story
is how it feels to live in
poverty to be hopeless and then
the media small
business owner. John Monday’s a
chick-fil-a operator who
teaches the me that I could
think about where the poverty
who teaches me that having a
job is a good thing but
creating jobs is a better thing
this administration in this
current economy is destroying
jobs by raising taxes at
Central hope seeps out. When
you look around and no one is
working the muscle
of work is after fleeing under
this administration that’s
another great point and they’re
putting pressure pressure on
the greatest economy because
they refused to let
American production of energy
become a reality and this
environmentally friendly bill.
It’s not friendly to everyday
Americans it spot on and again
these are not policies everyday
Americans support which is why
that I had the Trojan horse
that under inflation reduction.
>> Did
Tom Brady has done more to
reduce during his time as an
initial court, I love it when
the.
>> Go ahead with Tom Brady and
Bernie Sanders, both agree on
admitted exactly it doesn’t
reduce inflation. It’s such a
racket was a heck. Let me talk
about your book really think it
is called America, redemption
story choosing hope in creating
unity. One of the things you
and I talked about a great
length on the show is what we
call American privilege
absolutely okay, there’s a lot
of emphasis placed on race and
identity in the modern
Democratic Party this.
>> But in becoming who you are
you are willing to you know
show that to the side and focus
on your unique American
privilege which was the
opportunity to work hard to
become Tim Scott.
Do you feel like they’re just
selling victimhood because
victim has an easier way for
them to get votes like what is
the motivation there well, they
misunderstand the American
people and one of the best
stories in the book America,
redemption stories my
grandfather telling me no
matter what your circumstances
are you’re never a victim.
You can be a victim or you can
be victorious it cannot be both
and the beauty of America and
frankly we are living in the
most privileged society.
We’re not even close
and that’s why we should
embrace are common citizenship
as Americans we should not
divide ourselves and tribes
like the Democrats too.
We are one American family in
reading my book you understand
why I believe that fervently
with all of my being
I’ve been blessed by amazing
people who happened to be
white. These the smile that
people talk about sometimes it
was created by got him doctor Marty as Herrington I have to front to the didn’t like each
and I walked into this or that
his office and he says you know
what I can
help you and he was alive, we
did you know your to your front
teeth were bad when the local
pervert was trying to bribe do
with carrots why not a candy
his take is on Karen I knew
without a question that I had a
and an American fixed it.
A small business owner John
Lisa talk about all the time.
My mentor, he saw something in
me that I cannot see myself he
happened to be white
Ed Bryant. Another guy who
helped happened to be black.
So what happens in real
America. Good people of good
conscience come together to
help each other out. It is not
a black thing or why think it’s
an American thing.
It’s our story and if we read
about our story will believe in
each other more if we listen to
the Democrats will believe in
each other less at sodexo
simple now it’s so true we’re
talking to senator Tim Scott,
the book America, a redemption
story. It’s funny because they
really are in a position where
they’re asking people to put
party over country they’re the
reason we’re not playing team
ball yes because I mean you
have spoken at length on the
show about the evolution of the
Southern heart.
>> And how it was only possible
to become who you are
because this imperfect society
made a heck of a whole lot of
progress you never come on and
say we’re perfect. You just say
look at how far we’ve moved the
ball down the field.
But they don’t want to give us
credit for that they want to
still be backed up against
their own end zone will listen
they’re they’re driving their
cars by looking at the rear
view mirror, yeah,
we’re driving our cars by
looking at that massive wind
chill that you can’t miss
unless you are so narrow minded
that your entire view of the
future is simply the view the
past you cannot find a better
future.
>> Then the American future
when we’re looking at the
collective windshield when
we’re looking collectively at
the windshield we’re seeing
opportunities. We saw how to do
it actually and we did it
from 2016 to 2020 we lowered
unemployment to the lowest
level for African Americans for
Hispanics, a 17 year low for
for women. When you look
at the wind chill of American
opportunity you see opportunity
zones that brought in more
money in one year into the
poorest communities from the
private sector that we’ve ever
seen in the country 29 billion
dollars. Those are conservative
principles, conservative
policies, passed by a majority
of Republicans
think about that and we never
have that conversation because
I just I think substances an
elusive thing in today’s
politics people would rather.
>> You know descend into
character assassination I think
that’s a lot of today’s
politics, it’s become an
exercise and defining your
opponent. Yes, the defining a
solution. Well division is
easier to sell yeah, but hope
is more eternal
great point so let me ask you
this Tim Scott, the book is
America, redemption story you
speak about great things like
redemption throughout the book
but there’s such an optimistic
tone and everything you do.
Yes okay in the last minute I
have here with you today,
I’m trying to make peace with
what’s more shocking that
you’re this optimistic spending
as much time in Washington as
you do. Well that you this
optimistic being a Cowboys Have
that’s what do you think the
greater anomaly that’s a low
blow. But the answer is simple.
There is in fact
a small and it’s in Washington.
It does take a lot of optimism
to survive the slump, but 25
years later without us and
without a
Super Bowl.
>> Well this is just a cult I
make you feel any better the
last time, the Jets won Neil
Armstrong had an even stepped
on the moon yet so Jimmy 16 I
say the Jets do they play
football. Yeah haha I’m
not going to have you in salt
or only local college team you
can it’s the Jets are like
spirit airlines jets. These are
the best jets is all I’m going
to say they need to merge with
the Giants maybe we’ll do
something like that a lot the
book is called America a
redemption story choosing hope
creating unity and love the
book and I love everything
about you got to do it again
soon and they did that for
allowing me to come in the
studio live and in person was
it was a big deal. This is our
sleepless in Seattle we finally
got to meet up after all those
phone calls and you’ve got mail
