RESPONSE AND. >> MODERATOR, GUYS.
>> SENATOR SANDERS?
>> MODERATOR -- IT’S MY
TURN?
TURN? STEVE: THAT IS NOT HOW DO
YOU A TELEVISION SHOW.
PEOPLE TALK ONE AT A TIME.
WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A
DRAMATIC INTERPRETATION OF
US DOING THAT SHOW LAST
NIGHT AS WE INTRODUCE OUR
NEXT GUEST.
NEXT GUEST. SO; LET’S GO RAINS AINS
LET’S BRING IN SENATOR TIM
SCOTT.
SCOTT. STEVE: OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
TIM SCOTT, GOOD MORNING TO
YOU.
YOU. AINSLEY: SOUTH CAROLINA AND
WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON. BRIAN: RECOGNIZE PLEASE
RECOGNIZE ME.
RECOGNIZE ME. EXCUSE ME.
EXCUSE ME. I HAD MY HAND UP.
[BELL]
[BELL] BRIAN: MY NAME WAS
MENTIONED.
MENTIONED. OKAY.
OKAY. AINSLEY: LET’S TALK ABOUT
EVERYTHING THAT DOESN’T
MATTER.
MATTER. STEVE: GOOD MORNING TO YOU,
SENATOR.
SENATOR. AINSLEY: WHAT DID YOU THINK
LAST NIGHT’S DEBATE?
TO ME, I WANTED THEM TO
FOCUS MORE ON THE ISSUES.
>> I THOUGHT IT WAS A HOT
MESS.
MESS. SO EMBARRASSING FOR THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
DEMOCRATIC PARTY. NO ONE ON THAT STAGE WAS
PRESIDENTIAL.
PRESIDENTIAL. FRANKLY THE WINNER OF THE
DEBATE LAST NIGHT WAS SIMPLY
DONALD TRUMP.
DONALD TRUMP. LISTEN TO AMY KLOBUCHAR’S
PRAISING OF THE FIRST STEP
ACT AND THEN WATCH HOW THEY
DENIGRATED EACH OTHER.
STEYER OWNED PERSONAL
PRISONS, PRIVATE PRISONS.
THEY TALKED ABOUT BIDEN
PASSING THE 1990s CRIME
BILL.
BILL. THEY TALKED ABOUT BLOOMBERG.
THEY BOMBED BLOOMBERG ON THE
STOP AND FRISK POLICIES.
THEY PRAISED THE FIRST STEP
ACT PASSED BY PRESIDENT
TRUMP.
TRUMP. THEY TALKED ABOUT
AFRICAN-AMERICAN HOME
AFRICAN-AMERICAN HOME OWNERSHIP UP UNDER PRESIDENT
TRUMP.
TRUMP. IT WAS A REALLY GOOD NIGHT
FOR REPUBLICANS.
FOR REPUBLICANS. AND IT WAS AN EMBARRASSING
PERFORMANCE THAT WAS
PATRONIZING TO
PATRONIZING TO AFRICAN-AMERICANS.
AFRICAN-AMERICANS. PANDERING TO
PANDERING TO AFRICAN-AMERICANS.
AFRICAN-AMERICANS. AND PATHETIC PERFORMANCE
FROM MY PERSPECTIVE.
BRIAN: SENATOR, YEAH, YOUR
PERSPECTIVE IS INVALUABLE.
BEING FROM SOUTH CAROLINA,
AFRICAN-AMERICAN, IN
AFRICAN-AMERICAN, IN CONGRESS.
CONGRESS. WHAT DOES THE
AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY
AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY WANT TO HEAR?
DO THEY WANT TO HEAR ABOUT
REPARATIONS?
REPARATIONS? DO THEY WANT TO HEAR.
>> NO.
>> NO. BRIAN: THAT IT’S HARDER TO
GET A LOAN?
DO THEY WANT TO HEAR THROUGH
HISTORY IT’S BEEN HARDER TO
GET A JOB?
YOU TELL ME.
>> WELL, THE BOTTOM LINE IS
THE REASON WHY THE REAR VIEW
MIRROR IS SO SMALL AND THE
WINDSHIELD IS SO BIG ON THE
CAR WE WANT TO FOCUS ON THE
FUTURE.
FUTURE. I DID A PANEL THIS MONTH FOR
BLACK HISTORY MONTH AND ON
THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT OF
THE PANEL THEY ALL SAID WE
NEED TO FOCUS ON THE FUTURE,
ECONOMIC FUTURE OF THIS
NATION.
NATION. IT IS ONE OF THE BRIGHT
SPOTS OF THE TRUMP ECONOMY
IS WE ARE SEEING THE LOWEST
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE WITHIN THE
AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY
AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY BUT MORE IMPORTANT THAN
THAT, BRIAN, YOU ARE SEEING
PEOPLE COMING BACK TO WORK.
THE LONG-TERM UNEMPLOYED IS
NOW PARTICIPATING IN THE
GREAT COMEBACK STORY.
THAT’S ONE OF THE REASONS
WHY THE BLACK PARTICIPATION
RATE WORKFORCE PARTICIPATION
RATE IS UP IN THE COMMUNITY.
THE ISSUES THAT WE CARE
ABOUT AS AFRICAN-AMERICANS
ARE THE SAME ISSUES THAT
EVERY OTHER AMERICAN CARES
ABOUT.
ABOUT. AND THAT’S ONE OF THE
REASONS WHY THE CURRENT
APPROACH OF PRESIDENT TRUMP
IS EVERYBODY IS IN THE SAME
BOAT.
BOAT. WHAT YOU SAW ON THE STAGE
YESTERDAY WAS AS IF THERE
WERE NO WHITE FOLKS WATCHING
SEVEN WHITE CANDIDATES TALK
ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE.
[LAUGHTER]
[LAUGHTER] >> IT WAS THE MOST
REMARKABLE PERFORMANCE -- I
CAN’T IMAGINE THAT ON OUR
STAGE I WOULD BE EMBARRASSED
TO HAVE A CONVERSATION
SPECIFICALLY ABOUT ONE RACE.
AINSLEY: SENATOR, WE WERE
TALKING EARLIER, WE HEARD
DIFFERENT NUMBERS.
DIFFERENT NUMBERS. WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN THE
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA ARE
AFRICAN-AMERICANS AND DO YOU
THINK GOING INTO 2020 SOME
OF THAT PERCENTAGE WILL VOTE
FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP?
HE GOT 8% IN 2016.
WHAT PERCENTAGE DO YOU
PREDICT NATIONALLY IN 2020?
>> ABOUT 30% OF THE OVERALL
VOTERS IN SOUTH CAROLINA ARE
AFRICAN-AMERICANS, PROBABLY
AFRICAN-AMERICANS, PROBABLY 60% OF THE DEMOCRAT PRIMARY
ON SATURDAY WILL BE
AFRICAN-AMERICANS.
AFRICAN-AMERICANS. TRUMP HAD 8% IN 2016.
I’M PREDICTING HE WILL HAVE
AT LEAST 12%.
A 50% INCREASE COMING
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S
WAY.
WAY. BECAUSE HIS POLICIES ARE
PERCOLATING AT THE RIGHT
TIME.
TIME. IT IS REALLY HARD TO DENY
THE SUCCESS OF THIS
ADMINISTRATION.
ADMINISTRATION. STEVE: DURING THE
ADMINISTRATION OF MICHAEL
BLOOMBERG, ONE OF THE
POLICIES WAS STOP AND FRISK
WITH THE POLICE.
HE WAS FOR THAT BEFORE HE
HAS STARTED APOLOGIZING FOR
IT AND SAYING THAT WAS A
MISTAKE.
MISTAKE. NONETHELESS, MAYOR PETE HIT
BLOOMBERG ON THAT LAST
NIGHT.
NIGHT. LISTEN.
LISTEN. >> WE LET IT GET OUT OF
CONTROL AND WHEN I REALIZE
THAT, I CUT IT BACK BY 95%.
AND I HAVE APOLOGIZED AND
ASKED FOR FORGIVENESS.
>> IT WAS ABOUT PROFILING
PEOPLE BASED ON THEIR RACE.
AND I COME TO THIS WITH SOME
HUMILITY I’M CONSCIOUS OF
THE FACT THAT THERE ARE
SEVEN WHITE PEOPLE ON THIS
STAGE TALKING ABOUT RACIAL
JUSTICE.
JUSTICE. [LAUGHTER]
[LAUGHTER] NONE OF US.
[APPLAUSE]
[APPLAUSE] >> WAIT A SECOND I KNOW THAT
IF I WERE BLACK MY SUCCESS
WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT HARDER
TO ACHIEVE.
TO ACHIEVE. I KNOW A LOT OF BLACK PEOPLE
THAT IF THEY WERE WHITE IT
WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT EASIER
FOR THEM.
FOR THEM. THAT’S JUST A FACT AND WE
HAVE GOT TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT IT RATHER THAN JUST
DEMAGOGUE ABOUT IT.
STEVE: SO, SENATOR, AT THE
VERY BEGINNING, HE WAS
TALKING ABOUT STOP AND
FRISK.
FRISK. HOW IMPORTANT IS THIS
PARTICULAR ISSUE AS THE
PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA GO
TO THE POLLS ON SATURDAY?
>> THE FACT THAT HE IS
APOLOGIZING AND APOLOGIZING
AND THEN REPENTING AND
ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS TELLS
YOU THAT IT’S INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT TO THE PEOPLE OF
SOUTH CAROLINA.
SOUTH CAROLINA. WHAT PEOPLE WANT,
AFRICAN-AMERICANS, WHITE
AFRICAN-AMERICANS, WHITE FOLKS, HISPANICS, WHAT WE
ALL WANT IS A FAIR SYSTEM, A
FAIR CHANCE TO SUCCEED.
WHAT YOU SAW LAST NIGHT WAS
REALLY PANDERING AND
PATRONIZING AND TRYING TO
MAKE UP FOR THE GAFFES AND
THE POLICIES OF THE
BLOOMBERG ADMINISTRATION SO
THAT HE IS MORE MARKETABLE
AS A PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
BUT WE HAVE TO COMPARE THAT
AND CONTRAST IT TO WHAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS ACTUALLY
DONE.
DONE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU
HAVE TO FOCUS ON IS A
COMPARISON OF THE TWO SIDES.
RIGHT NOW THE LEFT LOOKS
LIKE THEY HAVE NO OTHER
OTHER THAN TO PANDER FROM
REPARATIONS TO THE UVI, THE
UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME OF
$1,000 TO EVERY AMERICAN.
YOU CAN’T CONTINUE TO GIVE
AWAY WHAT YOU DO NOT HAVE.
AND IF IT’S GOING TO COST
THREE TIMES THE AMERICAN
ECONOMY, ACCORDING TO AMY
KLOBUCHAR, WE’RE ALL IN FOR
SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER TAXES.
BRIAN: I KNOW WHERE YOU
STAND ON STOP AND FRISK --
BY THE WAY, AFRICAN-AMERICAN
OFFICERS, TWO OF WHICH TOLD
ME BRIAN WHEN IT COMES TO
STOP AND FRISK, UNDERSTAND
WHAT WE DID.
WE THOUGHT THE PEOPLE IN THE
MINORITY COMMUNITIES NEEDED
THE MOST PROTECTION.
OF THE GOAL WASN’T TO ARREST
MINORITIES.
MINORITIES. IT WAS TO GO WHERE THE CRIME
WAS TO PROTECT PEOPLE IN
THAT AREA.
THAT AREA. AND THEY WERE NOT JUST
WALKING UP TO PEOPLE
FRISKING THEM.
FRISKING THEM. THEY WERE WALKING UP IF THEY
WERE SUSPECTED OF HAVING A
FIREARM.
FIREARM. SO JUST FOR THE RECORD, FOR
THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENTS,
MOST OF WHICH ARE MINORITIES
IN NEW YORK CITY, THAT WAS
THE GOAL EVEN THOUGH MIKE
BLOOMBERG DOESN’T WANT TO
SAY THAT ANYMORE.
BUT, REAL QUICK.
CONGRESSMAN CLYBURN WILL BE
ENDORSING, WE BELIEVE, JOE
BIDEN IN ABOUT TWO HOURS.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR JOE
BIDEN?
BIDEN? >> WELL, PROBABLY MEANS THAT
INCREASE IN AFRICAN-AMERICAN
VOTES FOR JOE BIDEN.
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS
THREE WEEKS AGO, BRIAN,
THREE WEEKS AGO JOE BIDEN
HAD A 30-POINT LEAD IN SOUTH
CAROLINA.
CAROLINA. IT IS NOW DOWNO 4 TO 4.5
POINTS.
POINTS. THAT SAYS THAT BERNIE
SANDERS HAS DOUBLED HIS
BLACK VOTE IN SOUTH CAROLINA
AND THAT MEANS THAT BIDEN
NOW NEEDS SOMEONE TO COME
RESCUE HIM AND JIM CLYBURN’S
ENDORSEMENT WILL BE PART OF
THAT RESCUE STRATEGY.
BUT IT WON’T MAKE ENOUGH OF
A DIFFERENCE.
A DIFFERENCE. IF BIDEN DOES NOT WIN BY 10
POINTS OR MORE ON SATURDAY,
SUPER TUESDAY MIGHT BE THE
COLLAPSE OF BIDEN CAMPAIGN.
STEVE: SENATOR, YOUR
PREDICTION ON SOUTH CAROLINA
ON SUNDAY MORNING WHAT’S
GOING TO HAPPEN?
>> I THINK YOU WILL SEE
ABOUT 26% FOR JOE BIDEN.
YOU WILL SEE BERNIE SANDERS
COMING IN AROUND 20 OR 23%.
AND TOM STEYER, WHO WILL BE
LOSING VOTES, IF, IN FACT,
CLYBURN ENDORSES JOE BIDEN,
YOU WILL SEE HIM FALL DOWN
FROM HIS NUMBERS FROM 15% TO
PROBABLY 13% OR 12%.
THOSE NUMBERS WILL COME FROM
STEYER, NOT FROM BERNIE
SANDERS.
SANDERS. BRIAN: SENATOR, I HAVE A
SENSE IN A FEW YEARS YOU
WILL BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE
ON THE DEBATE STAGE GOING
FOR 2024.
FOR 2024. I WOULD NOT DOUBT IT.
WEWE ARE GOING TO SAVE THIS
TAPE.
TAPE. >> GET PRESIDENT TRUMP
REELECTED.
REELECTED. AINSLEY: PROUD OF OUR STATE.
LIVE SHOTS OF CHARLESTON AND
LIVE SHOTS ASTLEY ZERDZ
THICKET IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
>> ON FIRE FOR THE RED PARTY
NOT THE BLUE.
AINSLEY: WE HAVE AINSLEY IN
NEW YORK.
NEW YORK. AINSLEY: OH YEAH.
>> COME HOME, AINSLEY, COME
