about diversity over that round of words. that is a basketful of words. >> trey: save you the trouble of looking that word up, it is a superficial cover. it is her way of calling senator scott a token. what she has done that too in the past. >> your appointment is seen by some as a member of progress. others have called you a mere token, elevated only to show that the g.o.p. has gotten the diversity. i do hope that as a senator, you will prove those who called you a token wrong. >> trey: for a party and a media, a client who loves civility and public discourse and ruling out the hot political rhetoric and finding some unity, she has a really weird way of showing it, like ignoring policy debates and engaging in personal attacks. if she knew anything about tim scott, she would understand full well why he would be participating in a press conference on the minimum wage. if she knew anything about tim scott, she would understand why he is frequently front and center in major policy debates in washington. tim scott was 1 of 3 u.s. senators chosen to work on the tax reform legislation because he made himself an expert on the issue, not because he is black. he is a business owner. he started a business. he had to make payroll. he had to access credit. tim scott was at the forefront on tax reform because he is on the senate finance committee. because he was on the house committee. because he dedicated himself to becoming an expert. and yet, at a press conference about tax reform, yet another woke liberal referred to him as a prop. i cannot tell you the number of times tim scott excused himself from the dinner table in washington to take a call from a colleague while the senate was negotiating and drafting legislation. they were not calling tim scott because he is black. they were calling him because he is an expert in tax legislation. he was at the forefront of police reform legislation because he knows what it's like to be stopped while driving, stopped while someone else's driving, and he was even stopped from entering the united states capital. he also knows the power of a justice system that is respected and worthy of respect. he knows the anguish of officer shootings and he knows the pain and the grief's thousands of police officers feel, because he is the first one to call a surviving spouse of a dead police officer. he was at the forefront of this debate because he has lived this debate in a way that very few other united states senators ever have or ever will. you know, kamala harris and cory booker were part of that national debate as well. but neither one of them was called a token by liberal senator. but tim scott was. tim scott is at the forefront of issues in washington because he has earned the right to be there through hard work, through learning the issues, through experiencing issues, through respect. earning the respect of his peers on both sides of the aisle. you know, he is welcome to have whatever political leash she wants. i don't think she has ever run for office before and my guess is that she wouldn't win if she did. that is policy. but when she calls a united states senator who is a subject matter expert a prop, a token, or a superficial covering, that is personal and that's wrong. and she should be held to account. now, i'm having to say this now because when tim scott joins us in just a moment, he won't say any of this. he is humble. he is driven by policy, not personal attacks. he doesn't make personal attacks. he rarely responds to those made against him by others. he is driven by faith, which is the cornerstone of his life. not the faith where god tells you to do the easy things. the kind of faith where you actually forgive people when it's hard. in short, tim scott is too good of a person to respond to the likes of joy reid, but i am not. tim scott is a united states senator who worked his tail off to be part of nearly every significant policy conversation this country has. he can stand wherever the -- he wants to stand and any group he wants to stand with because he has earned the right to be there. the fact that you see a black man as a prop, joy reid, says a lot more about you than it does about tim scott. i see a united states senator and if you really were interested in unity or fair treatment and respect and civil discourse, that's what you would see. so now, the senator from the great state of south carolina, tim scott. thank you for joining us, senator. >> tim: what's up, buddy? how are you? >> trey: i have to get something on to off my chest. thank you for joining us. i want to talk to you about what is in the covid relief bill that the senate just passed. >> tim: well, thank you. let me just say this on what you just said. woke supremacy is as bad as white supremacy. we need to take that seriously. for all of the folks who oppose common sense, matthew five, verse 34 is still relevant. it is not a covid relief package. it is more of a progressive plan. it pays everybody. it pays prisoners. think about this. california, that is predicted to have a $19 billion surplus gets 40000000000 out of $350 billion set aside for states who need help. if you don't need help, you shouldn't get it. and why is the taxpayer, or why are all taxpayers funding and subsidizing blue states that have surpluses? 1% of this bill, trey, 1% goes to vaccines. less than 10% goes to covid relief. in other words, as bernie sanders said, this is the most progressive piece of legislation passed since he has been a senator. that says a lot when you make bernie sanders blush over progressive policy. >> trey: well, i hate to be cynical and i hate to be slow, but if i hear you right, the covid relief bill doesn't have much to do with covid. it is kind of a christmas list for progressives. >> tim: absolutely, trey. if you think about the fact that unemployment is going to be extended through september even though just this week we added 379,000 jobs and our unemployment rate went down. if you think about the fact that they are literally going to cut a check to new parts of the american economy because they can, it's hard to stand $2 trillion. by the way, this is the only relief bill that was purely partisan. not a single republican in the senate voted for it. the 5 previous relief bills under the senate republican majority, 90 plus senators voted for all of them. for a senate that is 50/50, it sure doesn't feel like it. that is bad for the american taxpayer. >> trey: you know senator, you are right. it is 50/50. it hardly seems the time to be pursuing this transformative generational change but it seems like that is what the democrats are bent on trying to do, even in an evenly divided senate. we've got about a minute. what else is coming up that the american people can be fearful of from this 50 senators overplaying their hand? >> tim: you should look for another round of the minimum wage that also look for the greatest transformation of voting we have ever seen in this country. what the democrats want to do is allow a 16-year-old to vote. not an 18-year-old, but a 16-year-old. they are looking for ways to transform the way we vote in this nation. voter i.d. eliminating or reducing the amount of mail -- the only thing that is not his equal. it is not fair. it discriminates. that is what they are going to do for the next several weeks. >> trey: well, you are an old college football player. i've got all the confidence in the world. it is great to see you. thank you for joining us. we will see you soon. >> thank you, trey. >> trey: yes, sir. through the years, we have seen powerful figures on both sides of the aisle accused of inappropriate sexual behavior. but what is it seemed that they are always being held to different standards?

"the right to be believed," she said. i wonder if that's true, secretary clinton, of the women who accused andrew cuomo. i wonder if that's true of the woman who accused president biden. i wonder if that's true of the women who accused president clinton, or is the standard different when you are accusing republicans versus accusing democrats? vice president, harris, senator gillibrand, they all had a simple mantra. they said women should be believed. what made it especially interesting is that some of the senators said they believed the witness even before the witness said a word. how could you possibly believe someone who hasn't said anything yet? i mean, think about that for a second. how can you believe the witness when the witness hasn't spoken? doesn't it sort of depend on what the witness says? i mean, don't you want to hear the allegation first? and the same is true on the other side of the political spectrum. when a former staffer accused joe biden of what would legally constitute rape, there were those that were quicker to believe her. and even as allegation swirl around andrew cuomo, there are also allegations against republican members of congress. do we have the same process for evaluating both, or is the process different based on who is being accused? what if we had just one standard, just one standard for accepting, evaluating, and then determining credibility no matter whether the accuser is a republican or a democrat, no matter whether the accused is a republican or a democrat. one standard, one set of rules, equally applied. what if we are great victims complaining witnesses or those who believe they were wrong or victimized have the right to present the facts without fear, retribution, or intimidation? what if we agreed we would apply the same standard of criminology regardless -- that we would judge motive, bias, opportunity to observe, access to information, consistency, inconsistency. the timing of the disclosure process any recent disclosure maybe it wasn't possible or practical. in other words, what if we applied the same credibility standard to these allegations as we do allegations in every other facet of life, including the courtroom? what if we had just one single standard by which we judged everyone, and what if we rebuked politicians who tell us dumb things like, they can tell whether a witness is telling the truth or not before the witness actually says a word, or politicians and the media who have different standards based on the political ideation of the person being accused. one standard, one form of due process, one justice, equal justice, not good for everyone, even in a divided country. what if we could unite around a single standard of fairness for both friend and foe? equal justice for all. equal justice under the law. that is the phrase carved in stone on top our supreme court. if only we could carve it into our minds as well. that would be a good and different kind of america. joining me now, mollie hemingway, senior editor at "the federalist," and kim klacik, president of red renaissance. molly, mollie, i can't think of anyone who knows more about what now have an justice kavanaugh went through than you. have you seen the same response to kavanaugh is what you are seeing with the meeting with cuomo, or are there two different standards? >> there are two different standards, not just about whether republicans believe accusations against democrats or democrats believe accusations against republicans, although there is a bit of human nature to that. you're actually seeing an attack on the rule of law itself. you saw it during the cabin a confirmation where senators were saying they didn't believe that brett kavanaugh had a right to due process and he was accused without evidence of all sorts of completely unsubstantiated and ridiculous things. you also see it today when joe biden issues an executive order about his plan to get rid of due process when college students are accused of impropriety. this is something that the left has really pushed, this idea that you do not have the right to have a defense or to see your accuser if you are a college student accused of misconduct. it's not just politics but natural disagreement about whether rule of law exists or whether due process is important, and this is something that really threatens the entire republic. >> trey: you know, kim, i used to say we don't use procedures and policies in the courtroom because they're not right, because we use them in the courtroom, we decided to use them in the courtroom because we first found them to be right. what about this notion that we have one standard? to mollie's point, how do we get to applying to process no matter the circumstance? >> unfortunately, congressman, if it wasn't for double standards, there were many in the media that would have no standards at all. these allegations, not against governor cuomo should be taken very seriously, talking but even the fact that the nursing home deaths, to me, that should be investigated thoroughly. so there are some stories coming forward that should have him under a microscope. again, we have this bias in the media where it's not. i recall the congresswoman trying to push forward with what is sitting down right now, hiding a lot of those on capitol hill that paid out $17 million to individuals that kept quiet about sexual harassment allegations and charges, and so for her, she was trained push that forward and say, look, democrat or republican, we want to know who these individuals are. and i agree. that is what i would to do if i were to go to the house in 2022. for all the women that have come forward so far, that is an act of bravery, it is not easy, but i think the women that might come forward in the future against anyone, i hope that the site doesn't made a decision whether or not to come forward, as a great congressman once said, there is no statute of limitations on the truth. and, trey, i agree with you on that. >> trey: that was a washed up congressman that said that. the media had cuomo as a possible potential candidate, then an award, i mean, is the fact that they have so much egg on their face, is that why they've been slow to cover cuomo and his administration or am i missing something? i'll give you each 20 seconds. >> i do think that that is why they are focused so much on these allegations from women who say the passes andrew cuomo made it them it made them uncomfortable, far more important of the 15,000 people who died because of his policies and his attempt to cover it up. >> absolutely. i have to agree with mollie. unfortunately, they have put him up on this pedestal, made it seem like he was a guy that combated trump and what he was doing, meanwhile, governor cuomo had those numbers on the nursing homes, now he does have this going for it. yes, egg on their face. >> trey: be really hard to imagine him being confirmed for attorney general while he is also under investigation by the department of justice. but that's what the media wanted about two months ago. thank you both for joining us. >> thank you. >> trey: from uncontrolled immigration, it seems that every day the democrats' agenda strays further and further to the left, begging the question, who really is in charge?

the 45th president, already getting involved this weekend demanding that the rnc and other groups stop using his name to raise money. so, where do we go from here? former rnc chairman, priebus derek might have a good >> hey, congressman. great to be on the show. >> trey: thank you. so, this is a little bit unusual in that we have a former president who may run again. i think you've got to go back to cleveland. that happened when you and i were kids back then. so, i guess his role is a little bit different from other presidents. it just kind of slid into retirement. is that the dynamic at play as you see? >> yeah, well first of all, even back when i was rnc chairman, i would never send out a letter or an email using bush's name or newt gingrich's name or john boehner to sign a letter to solicit money without getting permission. i think this is what this is about. i spoke to one of his campaign managers this afternoon who probably helped write this letter and his only point was you've got to just ask for permission. what is happening, trey, and you know this. there are hundreds of what i refer to as scam packs out there and they use trump's name left and right. those essay do you think he should run for president in 2024, and if you do send us this money because he really wants to hear from you. and then they raise money. that is the first part. you've got to get permission. that is what this is about. secondly, the president wants to be relevant, and he will be in the 2022 election and 2024. but the president has his own pack. he has his own fund-raising goals. he wants to give money to candidates. he wants to play a role in primaries and perhaps he wants to raise money for another run of his own in 2024. well, if he had all three committees, all the governors races, senate races, a million scam packs out there using his name and sending textses 20 times a day, then it's less money for him that is his own efforts to influence the election. so, that really, i think is what is going on. and the last thing, the president has always been sensitive to people using his name in a way that he doesn't approve of. and so, i really think all of those things converging is what drove that letter. but what i do think for the rnc, what they should do, and hopefully they will as they sit down with the president and his team, say okay, what are the parameters by which we can use your name? how many texts can we send out per week or per month, and what letters can we use with your name? what is the approval process moving forward? that's got to happen, otherwise the committee is going to be in a lot of trouble because his name is being the number one finance tool that all of his committees have. >> trey: you know, reince, i have zero issue with someone watching to control how his or her name is used. you are right. there are tons of scam packs and they have been around for a long time trying to raise money and a person has no idea it's happening. let me ask you about 2024. he still occupies the biggest lane, i guess by far of any possible 2024 candidate. so much looking at 2024, how do you navigate the terrain with him occupying it? >> yeah, well you've got to be very smart. you've got to make sure you are not popping your head up too many times running to iowa and new hampshire. it is so solidly behind president trump that any sort of play in another direction is not going to go over well. and so, i think that that is really the icing on the cake by what the president is doing with this pack, is that he is adding horsepower to his already popular status within the party and it is going to be very difficult for someone to occupy any part of that land. >> trey: thank you, reince, as always. ♪ ♪ kinder bueno?

>> well, it's better late than never. the cdc tends to lag a little bit when it comes to updating their recommendations. over 90 million doses of the vaccine given across our country and they have finally said those who have reached full immunity meaning to call weeks following that second pfizer shot, two weeks after that single dose johnson & johnson shot, they are now able to gather with other people who have been vaccinated or who are considered low risk like healthy or younger americans or even children. they are saying that you can now be indoors with them, take your masks off. they are still recommending that everyone vaccinated or not still wear masks when they are out in public but i do anticipate that they are going to update those pretty soon. >> trey: doctor, you have a new book out and i want to get to that in just one second. what is it fair to say that the best vaccine for me is whichever the quickest one is offered to me? should i be waiting around on one particular vaccine or just take the first one that i am eligible to get? >> let me tell you, there has been a lot of talk about comparing all of the vaccines but the big headline should read all vaccines demonstrate efficacy against the original circulating variance. they have been 100% advantageous of keeping people out of the hospital as well as saving their lives. once you are vaccinated, not only are you protected, but up to about 80% decreased rate of d transmitting that virus to someone else. it has been a big question mark. great news, the one for you is whichever one you are offered. >> trey: thank you, dr. appear we are looking forward to reading your book and thank you for all of the expertise you have shared over the past months of this pandemic. >> well, thank you so much for having me. >> one final thought as we conclude tonight's program. while we still have rough terrain to navigate during the pandemic, this one-year mark does seem the proper time to express gratitude. to the generations that came before us, there would still be darkness. they could not imagine coming up with vaccines in less than a year. people said it was impossible. they said it could not be done. but it was done and we should express gratitude to those scientists and physicians who came up with these vaccines and also come also to those who were in the trials testing these vaccines. and there have been countless acts of kindness over the past year reminding us once again of the goodness of most people. i'm not known for focusing on the light or on the good. prosecutors don't look for light. even i can see it. ingenuity, kindness, sacrifice, a renewed appreciation for things that we may have taken for granted previously. i live with a school teacher and i have been reminded yet again of what teachers and guidance counselors and cafeteria workers and others who work in schools do for our children and therefore do for us. i also grew up with a doctor. he was a pediatrician, a baby doctor, which means i was always the last one to get home from church while my dad was examining on the hood of our station wagon. and therefore, i missed the kickoff of the dallas game. we never had a meal in public without someone coming by and bringing a grown-up kit to the table and asking my dad, don't you remember little jessica or little johnny? you treated their bee sting to ten years ago. i don't know if my dad remember that or not. but he acted like he did. most of us really love and trust our own doctors. but that is an individual thing. this pandemic has given us a reason and a chance to love and appreciate all doctors, nurses, lpns, text, lab workers, and everyone else in the health care field on a universal scale. when lawyers like me were staying home this time last year my doctors and others were going to work to treat people even amidst all of the uncertainty surrounding the virus. it's always the right time to express gratitude to those who work difficult jobs to keep us safe and healthy. but this seems especially the right time to say thank you to those who work in health care, to those who kept working while some of us stayed home, to those who held the hands of dying patience because family were not allowed to be there. and people should not die alone. to those who worked without etiquette protection because they had devoted their lives to saving other people's lives, even if it means risking their own, now is the right time to say thank you. always wanted to be a doctor. i just couldn't pass the math and the science classes and apparently you need to pass those classes to be a doctor. you can't talk or argue your way to medical school. so, i will never be a doctor, but i can still do something. i can get the vaccine as soon as my term is up. i will keep wearing a mask until my dad or some other doctor tells me to stop. most of all, i can be grateful for what others have done for us over the course of this long difficult year. and we can stick together, stick together for just a little while longer and move even closer to the light. thank you for watching "fox news primetime." i'm trey gowdy. don't forget to download my podcast at foxnewspodcast.com or wherever you listen and i will be back here tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. tucker carlson is up next. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson." happy monday. ten days before the last election. a texas tribune came across a very strange site in stark county texas. stark county sits on the floor right across from mexico. not a lot of people visit starr county texas. but this reporter did and he watched as more than 70 vehicles drove in parade formation through the little town of roma texas. all aboard the
