but tim scott does. just recently, your department of labor signed a historic document that created something called auto portability. auto portability is designed to reduce retirement leakage among low-income 401 k account holders -- 401-k account holders who tend to cash out. mr. president, you should know this, 60% of african-american and hispanic americans cash out of their 401-k accounts. when this program, the policy that secretary costa initiated, along with my company, is implemented along with the big financial record keepers, the fidelities, the van guards, this program will put close to $800 billion back in the retirement pockets of minority americans. so i just want to applaud you for that. [applause] now, getting to the most important thing. most of all, most of you probably know that i started b.e.t. on a half a million dollar loan from a guy named john malone. malone ,000 that john put into b.e.t. allowed me, along with a lot of other minority employees and others, to build a $4 billion bu

and to senator booker and senator tim scott, thank you for joining us, as well. and making this the success it is. >> thank you, chuck grassley. it's an honor to be here today and to recount the struggle that brought us to the historic vote last night in the united states senate. as a result we thought it would scare america straight in terms of the danger of this drug and it backfired. it turned out we had more drugs on the street. we had a lower price for the drugs out there because of the supply and we started filling up our jails with people who were arrested for drug offenses. a 700% increase in our jail population because of this new level of our war on drugs. i voted for it. ten years ago i tried to change it. to bring it from 1-1. we still had existing in the law this mandatory man mum sentencing. and some of the sentencing guidelines that created just incredibly impossible to explanning situations where people were put away for years if not for they're lives. we came together and put in a bill and looked pretty good. we had one serious problem. we didn't

i had heard of his name maybe i will go maybe i won't but i read the paper the next morning and tim scottwas a no-show and i thought this guy has no chance he didn't even show up for the debate and within 24 hours we found out why he is not running for lieutenant governor but the us house of representatives. >> not many people showed up for that. [laughter] . >> did you have a runoff. >> i did. >> that you are one on one. >> yes there were five people initially so i ended up in a runoff with strom thurmond. >> he did a great job i knew i had to be in a game but coming out of that it was almost a war or two appreciate and respect the other guy on the other side is rare and then to be gracious and complementary. >> and he said what a great state it is to represent the state where we are from manufacturing it's really a great state that you both on your general elections you show up here in washington both mister smith goes to washington. >> a big class of republicans i know it had to be chaotic. how did you meet tell us the experience of orientation learning your way around. >> just the wor

lindsey graham came on board and win tim scott came to the senate in early 2015, he said he was a fan. i remember when i had met cory booker. i felt like i had known him for years. i imagined this sinks like character who had the answer to all the questions, and he does. i felt like this was the first time i had met him. he introduced himself to me, as though he needed in the introduction, and said, i am cory booker from new jersey, and i would like to work with you on criminal justice reform. not forget the many hours that we got to spend in senator durbin's office with chairman , and getting into the granular details of this legislation, of the need for criminal justice reform. c,ms like safety valve, 924 851 became common usage in our little group. this was a discussion that probably would have bored most americans and most lawmakers to tears, but we got into the nitty-gritty details. although it was a difficult negotiation session. what we came out with in the end was a good bill, and in many ways it was made better by the fact that we had reached out to someone who initially did

let's bring in the first guest, senator tim scott serving on the finance and armed services committeesattending the white house meeting as well on friday to discuss the spending fight and border wall funding. thank you for talking to us. i understand that no democrats were present at that meeting? >> no, i was not at that meeting as well. i was at the white house for a different meeting. but the fact is that there were no democrats present. and the president focused on the importance of border security which included the model, some state tomato or tomato, but we are talking about one kind of impenetrable defense mechanism that allows people to use it as part of the national border security conversation and not specifically a wall, because we have 2,000 miles of lines that we have to cover. so it is not simply a border wall conversation, the broader conversation was around national security and border security. >> julie: the $5.7 billion at the president wants is to begin building the wall, the final path on the border wall would be over $20 billion. so this is not necessarily to compl

i commend tim scott for standing up agagainst what t most pplple would have thought his party's interestt understand that our racialal identity trumps any party y a dedication come and i commmmend tim scott. the three of them taking leleership on n their foundatiol issue for african-americanans ia significant moment in history, and we should all celebrate their courage, their vision, and their strength to make it happen. and go finally, the senate also approving the bipartisan bill that would roll back sentences for federal prisoners, about 1/10 of the prison population of this country, rolling back mandatory life terms for a third time offender as well asas mandatory sentences for nonviolent drug users and those convicted of firearms crimes. array acrossunding the political spectrum, the number of republicans who joined democrats in voting for this. your thougughts? >> it is a great step in the right t direction. all of the senate members s who steppeped up to recognize t that what a waste o of our tax dollas and our human cacapital resourcs when we throw people away for small miststake

and thank you and my friend tim scott do every life matters. and this is great work. second, i believe we can save our entitlement programs. and frankly, we need to be. entitlement reform and this continues to plague us is a system this is the case today. few were willing to recognize the scope of the problem. you look i'm proud this congress, we came within one vote of real reform. think about that. it remains a driver of entitlement spending. so we have come a long way. and solving this problem will require a greater degree that exists today. we can get there. we can tackle this problem before it tackles us. and there is a third challenge. we're again incoming days larger problem will remain. and no less than our full potential as a nation here is at stake. so it makes sense for the economy and people. so that includes dreamers. and to fix the system have you to reset the system. we came closer than people realize. and this is is would go in long ways toward making venom out of the discourse. to we fix our immigration system and confront this debt crisis, we can mak

we are going to practice law, i'm going to shock the world and write another book with tim scott. >>bout him, he's a lot more interesting than i am. but i think -- jim wants to ask me a book about how to ask questions. how to elicit the truth with asking questions, and i want him to write a book about his life and how his upbringing influenced his political orthodoxy. to me and i taught a class at clemson for students. he's great, he's the nicest teacher in the world and i -- >> martha: am not? >> well, these are freshman in college. they don't know what the socratic method is. i've got to dial it back a little bit. and be a better husband, a better father. both of our kids are at home now and they are going to be starting their careers. i think our daughter is going to go to law school, god save us all if that happens. my son finished law school, but he is going to go into real estate. just be a better husband, a better father. i've got one-third of life. >> martha: you said once a federal judgeship checked all of your boxes. is that still true? >> yes, ma'am, it did. lindsay and ti

i will get back in politics if tim scott runs for president. and if he says look, i need you to iowa or new hampshire and knock on doors. you will never see me on the ballot again. >> martha: are you getting trey gowdy back to politics sure? >> i'm not sure i can get him to walk on the homeowner's association or knock on doors. but god bless him. he has served our neighborhood incredibly well. we have been blessed by his public service. >> martha: senator tim scott, pleasure to have you here tonight and i hope you come back soon. good to be with you. >> merry christmas. >> martha: merry christmas to you, too. many thanks. >> yes, ma'am. >> martha: so still ahead this evening, the shock decision from president trump today declaring victor are you against isis in syria and preparing u.s. troops to pack up and head out. he has just released a new video message to the country about this. adam kinsinger, iraq and afghanistan war veteran disagrees with the decision. he will join us and explain why coming up next. >> president trump: our boys, our you

brian: and you interviewed tim scott. he's in there a lot.ark: he is in there and it's really interesting because the first african-american center is hiram reynolds, who comes in for reconstructions. the second one is blanche k bruce, and he believes in 1881. the next african-american center elected is edward brooke in the 19 late 60's, but the next african-american senator from the south is tim scott, 130 years after landscapers served. -- blanche k bruce served. so we track the senate and their role in the jim crow years, the anti-lynching. it's a reflection of the country, and always has been. brian: joe biden, 36 years in the senate, he was elected when he was 29, sworn in when he was 30, left in 2009. here he is in the work hearings. >> if they had evidence of a crime that's being committed -- >> how are they going to get evidence -- >> wiretap. >> wiretapping? >> legal wiretap. >> you're saying they're going to authorize illegal wildcat -- a legal wiretap to find out if people are using contraception? >> ill -- unbelievable. mark: we u

we have great advocates in our party like tim scott, but i challenge my party, do not let this drift from your consciousness. every life matters and every person deserves a chance to succeed. let us keep advancing ideas. to allow people to live lives of self determination. this is great work and we can achieve this. second, i believe that we can be the generation that saves our entitlement programs. frankly, we need to be. and i acknowledge plainly that my ambitions for entitlement reforms have outpaced the political reality, and i consider this our greatest unfinished business. you know, we all know what needs to be done. strong economic growth, which we have, and entitlement reform to address the long-term drivers of our debt. our revenue is about to return to its 50-year average. what continues to plague us is a mandatory spending system that is deeply out of balance and unsustainable. this was the case when i came here 25 years ago and is the case today. not too long ago few were able -- willing to recognize the scope of the problem, let alone engage on solutions. our government

championing this issue, when i was in washington dc talking to members like senator ted cruz, senator tim scotte, we need to push this to the floor because this is where we are. we have a number of members, majority of the senate caucus supporting this issue and a lot of democrats in the senate supporting this issue and if it goes to the floor it will pass. the petition on change.org getting people outside mitch mcconnell's office, we want this to move to the floor, one of the most important issues of my lifetime and that is why i am so passionate about it. when you think about what the bill does, it provides credit, good service credits for those individuals, if this were to pass and signed into law you have 4000 people retroactively going home today. judges with discretion, when it comes to sentencing, if you know what happened in the criminal justice system, 94 crime bill pushed by bill clinton was draconian and provided mass incarceration. this gives judges greater discretion where someone like senator mike we said an individual attempted to sell 3 bags of marijuana. he got 55 years in pris

about the budget standoff and what's called opportunity zones, south carolina republican senator tim scott joins me tonight. where are we tonight as far as republicans in the senate and the negotiation is ongoing. >> the president is right, we have to make sure we secure our borders. to be a sovereign nation you have to understand who is coming in and out of your country, so border security is his top priority as well. to the extent that he finds a path forward, i'm going with him because if we do not, then we jeopardize national security. i think national security and border security should be synonyms. i think whatever it takes for us to have a sovereign country, the fact of the matter is the president likes the $1.6 billion and i think finding more money through reprogramming us a realistic expectation and the opportunity that he will take full advantage of to make sure he will secure our borders. >> bret: here is the house speaker to be house minority leader nancy pelosi. >> we can't accept the offer they made for the president to implement his wrong immigration policies. that will hap

. >> let me ask you about something that tim scott said earlier on fox today. listen together and then we can talk about it. >> the emphasis is on the wall. the emphasis is on trump. we cannot govern this country by who is in the white house or whether we like them or not. we need to do something different in this current environment which is to realize this is not trump's wall. this is america's border security. and we should fund it because that is in our best interest. >> so this is a complicated piece of messaging that democrats don't want border security. in fact, democrats are offering $1.3 billion for border security. the president wants 5 because it's a wall. >> yes, i think that everyone wants to be sure that our borders are secure, but the amount of money that the president proposes to waste on this, the $5 billion is really just the down payment. he envisioned tens of billions of dollars for a wall that even many republican experts say is not going to be productive. i really do believe that the focus on a wall, as senator scott referred to not being

tim scott. he's right behind me. senator scott: thank you, mr. president. once again, we find ourselves in the oval office doing something significant for this country. and in this christmas season, it's important for us to remember the first corinthians 13 that ends with "faith, hope, and love. the greatest of these is love." and where i find that focus of love today is on the communities. this should be called "the community justice reform bill," because as you cut the rate of crimes committed by the folks who leave, you're making the community safer. i look over here at these law enforcement officers. thank you. thank you. thank you for coming to the table. [applause] there is one thing that is crystal clear to all americans, president trump is a powerful president who believes in law and order. being supported by fop and law enforcement organizations brought many republicans to the table to take a look and see what this legislation could do. it was your support and the support of president trump that brought this coalition together. without your support
