the labor department is demanding that that be given back to those people. to use a fake priest in this way, shame on them. >> if he changed his gender maybe he wouldn't have liability anymore. thank you. tomorrow night florida governor ron desantis joins us here exclusively. tune in. have a great evening. sean "hannity" is next with his town hall with senator scott. welcome to "hannity". tonight we are in beautiful myrtle beach south carolina. we have a massive crowd here tonight. great to see you all. thank you all for coming. in just a moment 2024 presidential candidate senator tim scott will join us for our townhall. but first, big news today. your federal government has betrayed you. it's a sad day for our country

in so many ways. as predicted, hp was just gifted a get out of jail free card by his own father's doj. nothing but a sweetheart deal that only other americans could dream up. what a shock. after a five-year investigation and mountains of material of evidence piled on top of each other, we have whistleblowers, eyewitness accounts. hunter was ever so gently slapped on the wrist with two misdemeanor tax violations for a missing irs deadline. we will talk about $3 million in taxes he did not pay. and a deferred gun charge that will be dismissed if hunter is a really good boy for the next few years. now former president trump actually called it a traffic ticket win in reality this is a plea deal. it is little more than a political stunt from a weaponize

doj and nothing but a pathetic attempt to merely seem fair when they are anything but. keep in mind there are no violations or money laundering charges. there is no bribery indictments or drug charges. there is no prostitution or trafficking incidents or indictments. and no money laundering charges, not even a single felony tax charge after skirting millions of dollars in unpaid taxes for years. hunter will not spend a single day behind bars. in contrast, new york city sentenced the trump organization cfo, his name was allen weisselberg. he got five months at rikers island, one of the worst prisons in the country in part because he failed to pay taxes on fringe benefits like luxury cars and private school tuition for his grandchildren. he went to jail. remember steve bannon? he was sentenced to four months in jail merely for defying a

congressional subpoena. remember roger stone after they raided his house at predawn with guns drawn. frogman, fake news cnn cameras. he was sentenced to over three years in prison. why? for lying to congress under oath. lieutenant general michael flynn, george papadopoulos, railroaded with processed crimes. paul manafort sentenced to more than seven years in prison in part because of tax and farro violations. manneh fort filed to register failed to register as a foreign agent while lobbying on behalf of a foreign national from ukraine. in recent years more than a dozen people have been convicted of violations. they have all been thrown in prison. but not hunter biden. he was not charged with a single violation by joe biden's department department of justice or by joe biden's fbi. despite documented evidence including photographs, e-mails,

that in fact hunter biden facilitated meetings between well-connected foreign nationals and the obama white house and his own father, despite being a crackhead, hunter biden received millions from foreigners in russia, ukraine, kazakhstan, china and dozens of other countries around the world. by the way, let's not forget a credible fbi source has accused both his father joe and hunter of accepting bribes from a ukrainian foreign national in exchange for policy decisions. by the way, this particular source was deemed credible by the fbi because they had previously paid this source hundreds of thousands of dollars. they are also purported to leave recordings of phone calls between joe and hunter and that marie's mama executive that allegedly validate those claims that were kept as an insurance policy. and then there is this little old quid pro quo when biden was bragging that when he was vice

president he leveraged 1 billion of your taxpayer dollars to force ukraine to fire a prosecutor who it turns out was investigating burisma holdings that was paying his son a fortune. that's the ukrainian oil and gas giant. he had absolutely positively no experience. you might remember this. >> i had gotten a commitment from poroshenko that they would take action against the state prosecutor and they didn't. so they said they were not going to give you the billion dollars. they said you have no authority. you are not the president. the president said to call them. i tell you i am not getting a billion dollars. i said you are not getting a billion dollars. i am leaving here in six hours. the prosecutor is not fired you are not getting the money. well son of a [ bleep ] , he got fired. and they put in place someone who was solid.

>> and he got fired and hunter continue to get paid a fortune with no experience. apparently your attorney general merrick garland is not interested after graduating from harvard law and spending decades as a federal judge. garland is now little more then frankly a water boy for the sleazy biden family syndicate in delaware. again, the insignificant charges against hunter are low hanging fruit. they are designed to perpetuate what is a false narrative, that his department of justice is fair. it is beyond insulting. nothing could be further from the truth. hunter's plea deal represents the most blatant example of unequal justice to dates. think about this. hunter has been accused of committing hundreds of crimes, many of which were documented on his own laptop. and some of these purported crimes implicate his own father. i have to give half my income to pops. he complains about paying for dad's home repairs.

and yet thanks to daddy's doj, hunter will not spend a single day behind bars. does this sound like equal justice and equal application of our laws? when countless other americans rot in prison for far less? according to joe, his son can do no wrong. take a look. >> i am confident. my son has done nothing wrong. i trust him. i have faith in him. that is making me feel proud of him. >> how many of you think if this was a member of the trump family they would be treated the same way? anyone think that? if it was a member of the trump family they would be facing life behind bars. but if you are not a biden or clinton or democratic operative apparently you can do anything you want and mishandle classified documents, top-secret materials, smoke crack, except for in cash, higher and anything

short of murder is no big deal. this is not what our constitution calls for. equal justice and equal applications of our laws. if we don't get back to that we can take our great beloved constitution and shred it because it will be meaningless. we cannot have that in america. no, presidential candidate, our friend tim scott will join us on stage in a minute. joining us first with reaction, the author of the bestseller trial of the century, fox news legal analyst jarret. miranda divine. let's give a warm south carolina welcome to them. greg, they have this 1023 form that makes fbi intel source that they played hundreds of thousands of dollars to. that the biden family is involved in all this other activity.

they've had that for over four years. this is what they charge hunter with. >> equal justice under the law is chiseled on the u.s. supreme court. it is the basis of our democracy in a constitutional republic. he was blown to shreds with his sweetheart deal. it allows hunter biden to skate on criminal charges that would have landed you, miranda, myself, everybody in that town hall in south carolina. by the way, and just down the road a few hours. it is preferential treatment. it makes a mockery of the law. you and i discussed it. we knew it was coming. the government's investigation stretched for more than five years. that in and it itself is utterly absurd. the evidence against hunter was clear and convincing. he evaded taxes. millions of dollars pocketed

from overseas sources. he obviously lied on a gun form, broke the law. but joe biden's justice department and his consiglio area, think tom hagan in the godfather, merrick garland, they would never properly charge the president's son. they rewrote the criminal codes. now there is a special exemption if your name is biden. you can defy the law. everyone else has to abide. >> miranda, let's look at this from a practical standpoint. they have got to know the country sees this for what it is. now james comer has pledged that this will have no impact on how his oversight committee investigation. i believe he is true to that. we have identified dozens of countries that the bidens have done business with. millions of dollars when you look at all of these countries. i think america needs a full accounting.

how much money and business did they do with china, russia, because extend, ukraine, mexico, romania and all these other countries? how much money and profit went to the biden families? james comer estimates over $20 million or $30 million. when will we get that information? what do these countries expect in return from hunter biden and paying him all of this money, money they have now shared with nine biden family members including grandchildren that i am sure worked hard for that money? >> that's the $64,000 question, sean. what happened to the money? what was it paid for? and the involvement of joe biden? we know that joe biden was involved in this family influence peddling scheme because he met at least a dozen of hunter's overseas business partners. but i think the biggest story even then, the corruption story which is as old as washington, d.c. itself, the biggest story

is the cover-up. i think we just heard bill barr say that the doj needs to veer from its usual practice of saying nothing because the optics are so terrible, that at the very same time that jack smith is wanting to lock up donald trump for the rest of his life, that the president's son gets away with a slap on the wrist. i think david weiss should come before james comer's committee and just explain if everything was aboveboard, exactly why they made the decisions they did and why it took five years to come up with these two pretty minor misdemeanor tax charges and a gun charge that has gone away that has had people locked in jail for four years. the rapper kodak black was in jail for four years in a federal prison for lying on his background form 2x4 guns in

that case. there are a lot of questions that need to be raised. i think the republicans are doing that. but they are taking their time. for instance, we know if there has been disharmony on the hunter biden case in delaware for many years. the investigators have been infuriated by what they see as the department of justice slow walking, stonewalling and outright obstructing their work. to the point were the supervisory irs agent basically became a whistleblower. he had been complaining to his superiors for many months with no response. so he gave testimony two weeks ago to the house ways and means committee. why that testimony, which i am told is pretty explosive and, why that testimony has not been released is a real mystery. and now, of course, the plea deal that hunter biden has made

diffuses the impact of that testimony. but that should come out very soon. we should know what the irs agent, at great risk to himself and joined by another underling irs person, after the entire irs team was thrown off that case. the doj intervened and took all 12 of those irs investigators off the case last month. so, it was inevitable that this was never going to go to trial and that hunter would get off lightly. how on earth could they continue without their team? >> in my opinion, christopher wray needs to go. i think that merrick garland needs to be impeached. i think republicans need the power of the purse and they should return the fbi to once again becoming the world's premier law enforcement agency, which it has not been since

2016. greg and maranda, thank you both. tonight we are in beautiful south carolina to interview the man who wants to challenge the corrupted biden family. morning 1965 in north charleston, senator tim scott grew up poor in a single-parent household. has wonderful mom is in the audience with us tonight. he nearly flunked out of school before turning his life around and graduated from high school and graduated from college and started a successful business. ultimately becoming one of the great senators from the great state of south carolina embodying the american dream in every way imaginable. according to democrats and the media mob and the women of the view, i love south carolina. i do. senator scott is a bad person who just doesn't understand what it's like to be an african-american. take a look. >> he is one of these guys who is like clarence thomas, black

republican who believes in pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. rather than understanding the systemic racism that african americans face in this country and other minorities. he doesn't get it and neither does clarence. that's why they are republicans. >> tim scott with the patina of diversity over that round of words. >> i haven't spent a lot of time studying tim scott's speeches. i think there is a long history of african-american or other minority candidates within the republican party who will validate america and say everything is great and we can all make it. >> nothing like a lecture to an african-american man about what it's like to be black in america from a white liberal from new york. in reality, they just don't like what senator scott represents. democrats rely on the politics

of victimhood, identity politics. tim scott is no victim. he's a leader and works hard and makes good decisions. he forges his own path to success. let's give a warm south carolina welcome to the manhood like to be the next president of the united states, south carolina senator, tim scott. thank you. >> he threw it over. we will get you some more. grab a seat. >> let me say this. let me ask the crowd. how many of you all are proud to be americans? [ cheer] >> we live in the freest, fairest land on god's green earth.

and we will never apologize. we will never apologize for being americans. >> you can keep stalling if you want. i sit here and get paid. >> i love you back there. listen, i was listening to the view. when i went on the few and said your comments are offensive, disgusting and dangerous because i want americans to understand what i understand. we get to climb as high as we want to go. as long as we are willing to work for it. your character, your great, your integrity takes it as high as you want to go in america. and we are both to lecture me on being black.

i think that is pretty rich for joy behar to lecture me for being black. someone who gets away with wearing black face. can you imagine if that was a conservative? or a republican? >> no. >> on the errors of this nation? >> no. >> that would never last. there is a double standard in this country and that is why we are winning elections. >> i agree with that too. >> we have to start winning the elections again. i tell you, i thank god i was raised by a mama who understood that sometimes love comes at the end of a switch. and i've got to say my mama loved me a lot. i'm getting fired up. >> did you use a switch on him a bunch? yeah? do we have a shot of that?

>> she said, child please. >> great to see you. i guess first i have to get your reaction to the news of the day. sad to say, i don't believe right now in america that we have equal justice under the law or equal application of our laws. we know they have had this case for four plus years. we know about the 1023 form. i'd like to know what investigation they have done. we know about all this money. hunter biden with no experience. we know joe biden bragged about leveraging a billion dollars to keep his son in burisma holdings. nothing happened to him. i worry if we don't have equal justice, senator. >> it's dangerous. we all know this. the big guy has some explaining to do without any question. sean, we cannot be the city on the hill if we are not first a

nation of law and justice. we cannot be the city on the hill. we cannot fulfill our destiny as america if we do not have the lady of justice wearing a blindfold. we all have to be treated equally under the eyes and the laws of our country. and when the bidens get away with that, we need to thank god for senator grassley and congressman calmer for doing their jobs. i can tell you if they cannot finish their investigation, president tim scott will finish it. [ cheer] with your help, we are going to fire joe biden and then we are going to fire merrick garland

and fire christopher wray. and we are going to restore confidence, integrity and our department of justice. we cannot have them going out there as pro-life activists with a swat team. you cannot call parents who show up at a school board meeting domestic terrorists. and you cannot, it is unacceptable and un-american to weaponize the department of justice against your political opponents. it is just wrong. >> we are just getting warmed up and thanks are getting started in beautiful myrtle beach, south carolina. senator tim scott with us for the rest of the hour. we will hear from the people of myrtle beach as we continue. thank you for watching fox news and thank you for being with "hannity". be here... it all starts here.

welcome to fox news live. i am matt finn in los angeles. it's a race against time. rescuers are desperately trying to find a missing sub carrying five people on a tour to the titanic wreckage. according to the coast guard they have recovered 76007600 square miles off the coast of canada. that's an area bigger than the state of connecticut. if the sub is not bound by thursday of good run out of oxygen. onboard the vessel the ceo of ocean gate, a titanic expert, a british byzantine, a pakistani bridges executive and his son. former president donald trump on his trial on handling miss documents is set to begin on august 14th. a judge announce the preliminary trial date earlier today but trump's defense team is expected to seek a delay. trump is seeking the 2024

republican presidential nomination has pleaded not guilty to the charges. i am matt finn. now back to "hannity". we are back welcome back to beautiful myrtle beach, south carolina. we are joined by senator and 2024 republican presidential candidate senator tim scott. you mention your mom before you came out. i met your mom on a previous occasion. what a wonderful woman she is. she reminds me of my mom. she worked 16 hours a day. my mom worked 16 hours a day. going back a little bit to what we played with obama and joyless behar. in your background, you nearly flunked out in the ninth-grade. but then you finish college and did really well. you ran into an owner of a

chick-fil-a that mentored you. and then your grandfather dropped out of school to pick cotton in third grade. and then he couldn't read, but he would sit at the table every day and read as if you were reading to be a good example. you say from cotton to congress in one generation is a journey that can only happen in america. which i thought was a beautiful line. your grandfather faced a real discrimination. if there was a white person walking down the street you told the story how he would step aside. >> in 1921 my grandfather was born in south carolina. sally, south carolina. it was a very different south carolina. it was a place where a black guy walking down the street would have to get off the sidewalk and let someone walk by who was white. it was such a different and challenging time. my grandfather when my parents

divorced we moved into his house when i was seven years old. my grandfather looked at me and said the weight of his words were so heavy because of all he had experienced in his life. he said you can be bitter or you can get better. but you can't be both. when i here people tell me that america is a racist nation, i've got to say not my america. not our america. not the united states of america. and i say that because i have watched the evolution in my own family. i remember the stories my grandfather told me. he believed than with some dealt now in the goodness of this nation. and it's that conviction that led me to understand if you work

hard, you have integrity and you have grit, all things are possible in today's america. and the left, we all know this to be true. the left weaponize is race whenever they are losing an argument. that does my grandfather an injustice. it is disrespectful. the pain and the progress of this nation should be viewed as a symbol or a logical understanding of what is possible in the windshield of life. think about this, sean. i will move on to something else. i am the guy that ran for congress in 2010 in charleston, south carolina, where the civil

war started. my primary opponent was the son of strom thurmond. think about that. let us pray. by the way, we should kneel in prayer, not in protest. in that race, i won 68-32 because of the evolution of the southern heart. we started judging people by the content of our character, not the color of our skin. and the left, they refused to deal with america in 2023 and

not 1923. because they know that the truth of my life disproves the lies of their radical agenda. they don't want to educate our kids. they want to indoctrinate our kids. they don't want to teach american history. we have a responsibility to pass this nation onto the next generation, healthy, whole and looking in the windshield of life, not the rearview mirror. i refused to stay on the sidelines and let my america become a victim of the radical left. >> i started in radio believe it or not in 1987. okay? i know. don't even try. i have been on fox since 1996. i have been blessed and thanks to all of you you made all of my dreams possible. thank you all. i will tell you i have never been this worried about our country than i am right now.

i am worried about our economy. we have two thirds of our fellow americans living paycheck to paycheck. i worry about the high price of everything. a 40 year high of inflation. i worry about open borders. i worry about crime in our big cities and small towns. i worry about america giving up its energy independence and we are now importing oil from countries that hate our guts like venezuela and opec nation. i'm worried about china, russia, iran and the new axis of evil. there is a lot of things i am worried about. >> let's talk about those issues. when we were in the majority, we past a tax reform. i had the good fortune of riding the domestic side of our form the tax cuts and job act we passed in 2017. we cut the taxes of a single mother like the one that raised me buy 70%. that is what republicans did.

we cut taxes for dual income houses by 60%. we said we would give back to the american people $4000 on average. we gave back $4400. but what we also did is we had high employment, low inflation. because the government did not spend money. we gave it back to the american people because we believe in we the people. give you your money back and let you live your lives and things get better. we have to do that again. >> is there a way to restrain government spending? >> absolutely. controlling government spending is what i said earlier. please, please, please fire joe biden. that's the first thing you have to do. here is the second thing. you have to understand, and we all understand this. 49% of americans are medium

income is 1750 or $35,000 a year. because of joe biden's inflation the average monthly expenses have increased by $500 almost. that is not a problem. that is a crisis for people on fixed incomes and single moms that raised me. the reason why this happened is because they printed and then spent $4 trillion. the way you say it in the south, just turn the spigot off. don't spend what you don't have. don't get what you don't need and don't buy stuff you can't afford. that is called south carolina. that is how we do it. >> you live within your means. i always like connie mack who had the penny plan. you probably have a nickel plan at this point. you will lower government taxes, cut spending. then we have issues. i think energy and independence will go a long way towards

lowering family costs on everything. >> and creating six-figure jobs. absolutely. when we cut taxes, by the way, revenue to the government went up by 3% the first year. 3% the second year. if you lower taxes, revenue to the government goes up because everything is on sale. we have to understand as a nation we the people understand it. president biden and the radical left do not. energy independence is national security. they are one and the same. >> let me ask you. we were independent and then they gave it. here is where i see america right now. it is like we are split in half. either you believe in defund and dismantle the police or you believe in law and order. how do you reconcile that? you believe in securing our borders or you want open borders. you believe in energy independence so you by into the climate alarmist religious cults. you either believe america

should be the most powerful nation on earth with the baddest military to defend us against evil or they want to cut this bill. but we have got a party, the democratic party today in no way resembles the democratic party of old. >> without any question. we have to persuade people to join our team. here is what i can tell you. i've done the surveys. i've been around the country. african-americans around 81%, want the same level of policing or more policing, not less. that's a lie from the radical left. we have to understand most of america wants the same thing. how many of you believe in law and order? [ cheer] how many of you all or thanking god almighty and willing to stand with me and back the blue? [ cheer] this is common scents.

when i wrote a bill to help refund the police because the crazy left defunded the police, they called me a token. because they are opposed to helping the people they say they care about the most. how many believe we should secure our southern border today? [ cheer] today! not tomorrow, but today. yes, we all believe it. we all know this to be true. have a seat. this is what i was taught. if you don't control your back door at your house, it's not your house. if you don't control your southern border, it might not be our country.

every county in america is a border county. 70,000 americans have lost their lives to fentanyl. 70,000! the precursors come from china. they are made in manufacturing locations in mexico. and then the mexican cartels bring it across our southern borders and our ports of entry. president scott, not on my watch! we are going to stop that from happening without any question. we will freeze their assets and unleash the most powerful force on this earth. >> i have to take a break. morbid senator scott. he will take questions from the audience as we continue live from beautiful myrtle beach, south carolina. your questions for the senator when we come back.

we're traveling all across america, talking to people about their hearts. wh-who wants to talk about their heart! [honking]

welcome back to "hannity". we are still in beautiful myrtle beach, south carolina. senator tim scott is with us. we will take some questions from the crowd. i believe your name is beth, longtime viewer and first time caller. welcome. you have a question for senator scott. glad you came. >> i do. senator scott, if elected, what will you do to protect women and girls from biological males competing against them in sports and using their locker rooms? >> beth, transgender ideology is ruining women's sports. we have to put an end to that. it is simple. i think that biological men should compete against biological men, period. end of conversation.

i've met too many hard-working female athletes who have come to me and said it is patently unfair that you all allow for biological males to compete against us. we worked our entire lives to be competitive and then we lose a race to someone who has not had the same physical makeup we did. >> thank you for your question. what is your name? >> my name is chelsea. hi. senator tim scott, how due plan to differentiate yourself from the other candidates in order to bring unity back to our country? >> thank you, chelsea. i would say america can do for anyone what she has done for me. if we focus on restoring hope, creating opportunities and protecting the greatest land on god's green earth, that is a good start. i've also found throughout south carolina now in iowa and new hampshire, the three states where i am campaigning, people

are starving for an optimistic positive message with a backbone and conservative principles underneath it. >> i believe it is our responsibility to take our message to places we are not invited. i speak of everyplace. i've had a town hall in a black church and one in a brazilian church and white church. i will do one in any church any place in the nation. i want all of america to appreciate our conservative values. but we also have to be willing to take our messages and our beliefs and convictions to the highest mountains, but also to the deepest valleys. we have to do it in a gymnasium like this filled with friends or an inner-city church surrounded by skeptics. you see, i believe that i am not an exception.

i am simply today's rule. anybody can succeed in america that we love. take our message. >> you certainly did that when you went on the view. i give you credit for that. i have been there. not fun. what is your name? >> my name is aaron. good evening senator and sean. a question is this. in a world that we know as kind of in a downfall and we can all agree to that, what are your main differences with the other candidates such as donald trump or ron desantis. what are your main differences? >> the first thing i say is that i do care who wins the ukrainian conflict. i believe ukrainians are willing to put their lives on the line. i hope zelenskyy pulls it out. they will be important in the engagement. more importantly the biggest difference is between me and joe biden. that is where i am focusing my attention. he is our problem, not other republicans.

what i focus on as sean pointed out earlier, whether its inflation, a 40 year high. whether it's gas prices, 40% heister. food 20% higher. the radical left and their ideology is a problem that is like a cancer and has an metastasizing across our country. we are now living in a place where the radical left tells you and me that the drug of victimhood is what we should take. the culture of grievance is pervasive around this country. i want to be the president who stands up to the radical left and says no more. not on my watch. number one. number two, i will restore confidence and integrity in the department of justice. number three i will stand toe to toe with china as they stopped spying on my kids and stop buying our farmlands and stop reaching our sovereign borders. >> by the way, this interview

has been easier than the gavin newsom one. >> hi. i am joan fortune. i want to thank you both for being in myrtle beach. we are tickled to have you. my question is for senator scott. as the new president of our great america, what will be your first executive order and what will be your reasoning behind that order? >> my first executive order would be to restart the xl keystone pipeline. [ cheer] and my rationale is that energy security is national security. we can do it our own and we should do it on our own.

the second thing i would do is honestly secure our border. for less then $15 billion connaughton billion dollars, we can finish a wall and for $5 billion we can use the surveillance technology that is currently available to detect fentanyl so we can save american lives starting asap. >> great question. thank you. how are you? what is your name? >> my name is marianna. thank you for being here and hearing our concerns. we have been longtime viewers. as a former public school educator for 30 years i am outraged and view the current educational system as disgraceful. i would like to know who gave randi weingarten the power to change things. my question involves the

teaching of crt as well as transgender literature and parental rights this situation. what will you do to combat this atrocity and reformat? our children are our future and everybody needs to remember that. >> absolutely. i believe that we must have school choice in this nation in order for us to take the power from the teacher's unions. we have to break the back of the teacher's unions which means destroying the monopoly they have over our kids which requires us to have school choice because every kid in every zip code deserves quality education. we must give back. we must get back to abc and eliminate crt. it is that simple.

let's just teach american history. let's just teach math, reading and science. since covid, we have had the greatest drop in test scores in american history. baltimore, chicago, los angeles. here is what you know about the scott administration. we would never hire randi weingarten, number one. number two, we want to hire americans who are proud of america. >> thank you. we love your shirt. what does your hat say? >> my name is joe. it says vietnam veteran. >> thank you. thank you, sir. [ cheer]

>> thank you. what is your question speaks speak. >> one of my question is what are you going to do about the treatment they get versus the illegal aliens that are in this country getting free food, free cell phones, while our vets sleep on the street? >> yes, sir. today we spend around $400 billion on veteran services. we need to spend more money honoring the promise we made to our veterans when they came home. one of the things i have already done in 2014, i had the largest vietnam veteran ceremony in our state. over 2500 people were in attendance. when i made the commitment to take a look at the va and make sure we improved and reduce the wait time so that more veterans got the service you earned by putting your life on the line, number one. number two, we have adopted and i would make it permanent allowing for veterans to decide where they want to get their

care. veterans today, many of our younger veterans would rather go to the local hospital. some of the vietnam veterans like the va system. i think veteran should be given the same choice to decide where they want their hair. i would make sure that policy was there. number three, sir, too many of our veterans are committing suicide. they have lost hope. they don't have the resources. one of the things i have done is we have moved towards telemedicine allowing our veterans to receive the care they need by not having to drive to a location, but by using zoom or face time or some kind of system where you can get the mental health assistance that our veterans need without having to go to a hospital. we need to make sure that we open up every form of technology to make sure that our veterans

at all the care they need. they earned it. we should deliver on it. that is a commitment i will honor. >> we have got to take a break. are we having fun yet? having a good time? great to be here. when we come back more with senator tim scott in myrtle beach, south carolina. thank you for joining us. carolina sports incorporated. a paradise for parents. lomita feed, current caretaker and owner. we did not know anything about the employee retention credit. that is a legitimate tax credit. so innovation refunds has really helped guide me through the process. just had to get a few of my records together, submit that, and they made it as painless as possible. i can't thank innovation refunds enough for what they did.
