Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sxton Show Podcast.

Second hour of Clay in, Buck kicks off right now, everybody. Thank you for hanging out with us.

We are, I believe are we joined? Do we have him? Okay. We do. We're joined now by Senator Tim Scott

of South Carolina. He is a presidential candidate in this GOP primary Senator Scott. Pleasure to

have you back on the program, sir. Well, thank you all both for having me back. It's always a good

day to be back on here with you. I know it's, it's an obvious question. It's an easy question from

the perspective of the one asking, but I think it's a more difficult one to make worthwhile for the one

responding Senator. Why are you running? What do you want to do that would be different from some of

the other Republican nominees? I think it's so important for me, the guy who's been blessed with the

America that everyone should be in love with. I believe that America can do for anyone but she

has done for me and that includes restoring hope, creating opportunities and protecting the America

we love. I would start my presidential service by resigning the Excel Keystone pipeline because

our American energy future is our national security future where we are in charge of our

own lives, our own energy we are going to be on solid ground. Second thing I would say is that China

is an existential threat period. Everything that we do to decouple our economy from China's economy

is good for the nation and without any questions, staying with the security apparatus, our Southern

border is a crisis. I've always said if you don't control the back door to your house, it ain't your

house. If you don't control your Southern border it might not be your country. President Biden has

failed us, failed us miserably protecting Americans including the 70,000 Americans who've lost their

lives, the fentanyl and the hundred folks that our national security lives walking across our Southern

border. We have to secure our Southern border and use the latest technology in order to surveil our

Southern border and stop sitting off from killing another 70,000 Americans this year.
