>> IF THE RADICAL LEFT GETS
THEIR WAY, MILLIONS MORE
FAMILIES WILL BE TRAPPED IN
FAILING SCHOOLS, CRIME-RIDDEN
NEIGHBORHOODS AND CRUSHING
INFLATION.
NOT ON MY WATCH.
>> Steve: THIS IS A FOX NEWS
ALERT, SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR
TIM SCOTT JUST ANNOUNCED HE IS
LAUNCHING A 2024 PRESIDENTIAL
EXPLORE TORY COMMITTEE.
>> Brian: SENATOR, WHAT WENT
INTO THAT DECISION?
BIG MOVE, WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO
THIS MOMENT?
>> Tim: GOOD MORNING, AN
EXCITING DAY FOR ME AND
HOPEFULLY FOR ALL OF AMERICA.
MY FAITH IN AMERICA TOUR, I HAVE
FOUND PEOPLE ARE STARVING FOR
HOPE, STARVING FOR OPTIMISTIC
POSITIVE MESSAGE ANCHORED IN
CONSERVATIVE VALUES.
I CAN’T THINK OF A BETTER STORY
TO TELL THAN THE HOPE OF
AMERICA.
MY HOPE IS MY AMERICAN DREAM
WILL PAIL IN CONPARISON TO THE
DREAMS WE HEAR OF FUTURE
AMERICANS BECAUSE WE HAVE
ANOTHER AMERICAN CENTURY.
WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, BRIAN,
THIS IS THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY,
NOT LAND OF OPPRESSION.
WHAT IS SOLD BY JOE BIDEN AND
THE RADICAL LEFT IS WRONG.
WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF
INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY.
I COULDN’T BE MORE EXCITED.
>> Ainsley: THIS IS WHAT THE DNC
SAID AFTER YOU ANNOUNCED THIS
EXPLORA TORY COMMITTEE.
IT SAYS TIM SCOTT WANTS TO
GOVERN FROM THE FAR CONSERVATIVE
RIGHT AS A PROUD MEMBER OF THE
TEA PARTY AND HIS ECTREME RECORD
PROVES IT.
SCOTT WAS A FIERCE ADVOCATE OF
THE MAGA AGENDA SUPPORTING
NATIONAL ABORTION BANS.
WHAT IS YOUR REACTION?
>> Tim: I’M GLAD THEY ARE AFRAID
OF ME, WONDERFUL CONCEPT.
MY LIFE DISPROVES THEIR LIES AND
THAT IS WHY THEY ARE AFRAID WHEN
CONSERVATIVES STAND UP TO BE
COUNTED I MY TIME IN THE
MAJORITY PRODUCED THE BEST
ECONOMY IN MY LIFETIME, IN THE
HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY.
AFRICAN AMERICAN UNEMPLOYMENT
HIT THE LOWEST ELF EVER
RECORDED, HISPANICS, LOWEST
EVER, WOMEN, SEVEN-YEAR LOW AND
WE DID THAT WHILE REDUCING TAXES
FOR SINGLE MOTHERS BY 70% AND
GUESS WHAT, MORE MONEY COMING TO
THE TREASURY BECAUSE LOWER TAXES
IGNITE FIRE ON OUR ECONOMY.
THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THE
DENISE BOUTT SHOULD BE AFRAID OF
ME.
>> Steve: YOU LAUNCHED THE
EXPLORATORY COMMITTEE, DONALD
TRUMP IS LEADING IN ALL POLLS
FOR THE MOST PART.
YOU WOULDN’T BE GETTING IN
UNLESS YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD
BEAT HIM.
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN TO DO THAT?
>> Tim: NO DOUBT ALONG THE PATH
IN MY FAITH IN AMERICA TOUR,
I’VE HEARD PEOPLE WANT A
CONVERSATION ABOUT THEIR FUTURE.
I’LL TELL THE TRUTH, MY LIFE
LITERALLY IS ONLY POSSIBLE HERE
IN AMERICA.
I LIKE TO CALL IT MADE IN
AMERICA.
WHEN YOU START IN A
SINGLE-PARENT HOUSEHOLD, YOU
WATCH YOUR MOTHER WORK 16 HOUR
DAYS, YOU QUESTION WHETHER OR
NOT THIS WILL WORK FOR YOU, YOU
QUESTION AND BECOME ANGRY.
I HAD ALL CHALLENGES ON WRONG
SIDE OF THE TRACKS.
I THANK GOD ALMIGHTY I HAD
MENTORS AND BELIEVED PRAYER WAS
THE KEY AND FAITH UNLOCKED THE
ARE DOOS.
I WANT TO SHARE THAT MESSAGE AND
THE GOSPEL TRUTH FAITH IN
AMERICA MEANS FAITH IN EACH
OTHER AND OUR FUTURE.
>> Steve: SENATOR, ARE YOU
ANSWERING MY QUESTION ABOUT HOW
YOU BEAT DONALD TRUMP BY SAYING
YOUR PERSONAL STORY WILL SELL
YOU TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?
>> Tim: WHAT I’M SAYING IN
RESPONSE TO YOUR QUESTION IS
THAT THE FIELD OF PLAY IS
FOCUSING ON PRESIDENT BIDEN’S
FAILURES.
WHAT AMERICANS WANT TO SEE IS
CONTRAST BETWEEN THE RADICAL
LEFT AND THE BLUEPRINT TO RUIN
AMERICA AND WHY OUR POLICIES
ACTUALLY WORK.
I BELIEVE PSALMS 129 TELLS US WE
ARE ALL UNIQUELY AND MADE.
I BELIEVE WE GIVE VOTERS A
CHOICE ON -- SO THEY CAN DECIDE
HOW WE MOVE FORWARD AS OPPOSED
TO TRYING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION
ABOUT HOW TO BEAT A REPUBLICAN,
BETTER OFF HAVING A CONVERSATION
ABOUT BEATING JOE BIDEN.
>> Ainsley: WE GOT MARCH
CONSUMER INDEX NUMBERS, IT IS UP
.1% MONTH OVER MONTH AND UP 5%
FOR THE YEAR.
WILL THEY RAISE INTEREST RATES
AGAIN?
>> Tim: FEDERAL RESERVE HAD A
DIFFICULT CHOICE BETWEEN TRYING
TO STABILIZE OUR BANKING SYSTEM
BECAUSE OF SVB, THE SILICON
VALLEY BANK, OR CONTINUING TO
PUT DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON THE
ECONOMY TO MAKE SURE INFLATION
CONTINUES TO FALL.
WE HAD 10 INCREASES SINCE WE
STARTED INCREASES.
I BELIEVE WE WILL SEE ANOTHER
INCREASE.
IT IS WISE AND PRUDENT TO TAKE
THE INFLATIONARY EFFECT OUT OF
THE ECONOMY.
THE SINGLE MOTHER RAISING ME
WITH A 40% INCREASE IN GAS
PRICES, A 40% INCREASE IN FOOD
PLUS ELECTRICITY, THAT IS A
CRISIS.
SINGLE SENIORS ON A FIXED ENEMY,
THEY’RE IN A CRISIS.
>> Steve: PEOPLE ARE HURTING,
YOU ARE RIGHT.
>> Tim: PUT MORE PRESSURE, THEY
ARE HURTING, MORE PRESSURE ON
INFLATION, BETTER OFF THE
AVERAGE PERSON IN THIS COUNTRY
WHO BARELY HAS $500 IN SAVINGS
ACCOUNT.
>> Brian: THERE IS A PENTAGON
LEAK, WE DON’T KNOW IF THE WORST
IS OUT YET, IT IS JEOPARDIZING
RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR ALLIES
AND OUR ENEMIES.
WHAT IS YOUR REACTION THIS COULD
BE COMING FROM OUTSIDE THE
PENTAGON AND DID YOU THINK THERE
WAS CHECKS IN PLACE THAT IF
SOMETHING APPEARED IN JANUARY,
WE WOULD GET WORD BEFORE APRIL?
>> Tim: NO DOUBT, BRIAN.
THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS
DERELICTION OF DUTY DOESN’T STOP
WITH THE ECONOMY, GLOBAL
LEADERSHIP CAUSED OUR ALLIES TO
QUESTION OUR COMMITMENT AND OUR
ADVERSARIES DO NOT FEAR US.
THERE IS FAILURE AT THE TOP.
WE HAVE TO STOP FOCUSING ON DEI
AND THE OTHER ISSUES WE’RE
SEEING IN THE MILITARY AND FOCUS
ON BASIC BLOCKING AND TACKLING,
DOING THE JOB NECESSARY TO
DEFEND THIS NATION.
WE NEED TO BE BETTER PREPARED
AND HAVE BETTER LEADERSHIP THAT
STARTS AT THE TOP.
>> Steve: A LOT OF THIS HAS
SECRET STUFF, IT WILL PROBABLY
REVEAL SPIES OVER THERE AND
THEIR LIVES ARE IN PERIL.
I’M SURE THE CIA AND OUR INTEL
COMMUNITY HAS GATHERED PEOPLE
UP, IT’S A DISASTER, SENATOR.
>> Tim: I CAN’T IMAGINE ANYTHING
WORSE THAN HAVING PUT YOUR LIFE
ON THE LINE FOR THE GREATEST
COUNTRY ON EARTH AND HAVE YOUR
IDENTIFY REVEALED.
I CAN’T IMAGINE THE TURMOIL IN
THE CIA AND OUR AGENCIES, CHANGE
IN LEADERSHIP NEED TO HELP THIS
NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.
WE NEED POWERFUL AND ANCHORED
LEADERSHIP AT THE TOP.
>> Ainsley: WE HEARD JOE BIDEN
SAYING HE DIDN’T -- I CAN’T
BELIEVE THE WORDS ARE COMING OUT
OF MY MOUTH, NOT READY TO
ANNOUNCE YET, BUT HE’S PLANNING
ON IT.
DO YOU THINK HE WILL?
>> Tim: I THINK HE DOES RUN, THE
BENCH OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY,
IF HE DOESN’T RUN, I THINK HE
RUNS.
>> Ainsley: MARY ANN WILLIAMS
OWN --
>> Steve: YOU NEVER KNOW, THANK
YOU FOR JOINING FROM CEDAR
RAPIDS.
YOU HAVE A WEBSITE, WHAT IS IT? >> Tim: VOTE
>> Tim: VOTE
>> Tom:SCOTT.COM, VOTE
TOSCOTT.COM.
>> Brian: FIND HIM IN IOWA.
>> Steve: HE’S TIM SCOTT AND
