[English]

CBS SUNDAY MORNING.

>> WELCOME BACK TO

THE TAKEOUT. WELCOME BACK TO THE

CONVERSATION. COURTNEY, YOU KNOW

HOW MUCH I LOVE TO HANG OUT

HERE. CHECK YOUR CALENDAR. YEAH,

WE'RE STILL MORE THAN A YEAR

AWAY FROM THE ELECTION TO ELECT

SOUTH CAROLINA'S NEXT GOVERNOR,

BUT IT IS GEARING UP ALREADY TO

BE A VERY COMPETITIVE RACE. THE

STATE'S LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR,

ITS ATTORNEY GENERAL, A STATE

SENATOR, AND TWO MEMBERS OF

CONGRESS ARE VYING AGAINST ONE

ANOTHER TO WIN THE REPUBLICAN

PRIMARY, WHICH WOULD ALMOST

CERTAINLY LEAD TO THE

GOVERNORSHIP. AT LEAST, THAT'S

BEEN THE TREND LINE RECENTLY.

ONE OF THOSE CANDIDATES JOINS ME

HERE IN THE CONVERSATION CORNER

SOUTH CAROLINA LIEUTENANT

GOVERNOR PAMELA. YVETTE. YVETTE,

IS THAT CORRECT? EVART. EVART.

>> THANK YOU.

>> PAMELA, IT'S GREAT TO HAVE

YOU HERE. THANKS FOR JOINING ME.

WHAT DISTINGUISHES YOU IN THIS

RACE AND WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF

ELECTED GOVERNOR DIFFERENTLY

THAN HENRY MCMASTER, THE CURRENT

GOVERNOR?

>> SO WHAT DISTINGUISHES ME IS

THAT I'VE SPENT THE MAJORITY OF

MY LIFE IN THE BUSINESS SECTOR.

I STARTED A BUSINESS, CREATED

THAT INTO A NATIONAL COMPANY,

AND THEN LEFT MY BUSINESS TO

SERVE WITH THE GOVERNOR. I'M

THE FIRST LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR,

ELECTED WITH A GOVERNOR. SO

GOVERNOR MCMASTER AND I ARE DEAR

FRIENDS, AND WE WORK HAND IN

GLOVE. AND HE'S ASKED ME TO

SERVE WITH HIM TWO TERMS. AND SO

I THINK THAT DISTINGUISHES ME

FROM EVERYBODY ELSE. I'M NOT A

CAREER POLITICIAN. I'VE SIGNED

THE FRONT OF PAYCHECKS. I'VE

BALANCED BUDGETS, I'VE CREATED

JOBS. AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN

SOUTH CAROLINA. THE MOMENTUM AND

TREND IS THEY WANT A BUSINESS

GOVERNOR, SOMEBODY THAT'S BEEN

ABLE TO DO ALL THESE THINGS.

>> I KNOW POLLING AT THIS STAGE

OF A RACE IS NOT VERY HELPFUL,

BUT THERE IS ONE POLL. NANCY

MACE, WHO'S BEEN ON THE SHOW

19%. YOU, 18%. AG ALAN WILSON,

16%, 35% UNDECIDED. WHAT'S THE

STATE OF THE.

>> RACE?

>> IN PRIMARY?

>> YEAH, IT'S THE PRIMARY,

RIGHT? THIS RACE WILL BE DECIDED

IN THE PRIMARY. THAT'S THE WAY

IT'S BEEN IN SOUTH.

>> BY PRESIDENT TRUMP.

>> YEAH, I THINK SO. YOU KNOW I

I'M VERY PROUD. YOU KNOW

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE ONE THAT

KIND OF INSPIRED ME TO LEAVE MY

BUSINESS AND RUN. RIGHT. I WAS A

TRUMP SUPPORTER WHEN I WAS

SITTING AT MY DESK GOING, WE

NEED SOMETHING ELSE IN

GOVERNMENT. AND SO, YOU KNOW, IN

JANUARY OF 23, WHEN THE

PRESIDENT CAME TO SOUTH CAROLINA

TO TALK ABOUT RUNNING AGAIN, OUT

OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAS

THROWN THEIR HAT IN THE RACE FOR

GOVERNOR, I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT

STOOD WITH THEM BECAUSE I REALLY

BELIEVED HE WAS WHAT THE NATION

NEEDED. AND I WORKED REALLY

HARD. I'VE TRAVELED ALL AROUND

THE STATE, TRAVELED TO NEW

HAMPSHIRE WITH THEM, RAISED A

LOT OF MONEY FOR HIM IN HIS 2020

AND 2024 RACE, AND SO, YOU KNOW,

AND I'M VERY PROUD OF WHAT

HE'S DONE. AND I THINK HE'S

INSPIRED A LOT OF BUSINESS

PEOPLE TO GET OUT OF THEIR

COMFORT ZONE AND TAKE THEIR

KNOWLEDGE INTO THE PUBLIC SECTOR

AND TRY TO MAKE GOVERNMENT

BETTER.

>> DOES THIS PRIMARY COME DOWN

TO WHO HE ENDORSES?

>> I THINK A BIG CHUNK OF IT

SOUTH CAROLINA, IT'S A IT'S A

IT'S A TRUMP STATE. AND, YOU

KNOW, WE SAW THAT WE HAD TWO

SOUTH CAROLINIANS BIDEN TO RUN

AGAINST HIM FOR PRESIDENT. AND

PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU KNOW, HEAVY

HANDEDLY TOOK THE STATE BY

STORM. AND SO I THINK PEOPLE

LISTEN AND LOOK. AND THE

GOVERNOR IS REALLY IMPACTFUL IN

THE STATE. HE'S A VERY POPULAR

GOVERNOR. HE TOOK US THROUGH

COVID VERY WELL, AND THE STATE

HAS BEEN THRIVING UNDER OUR

ADMINISTRATION.

>> IF HE'S WATCHING, WHAT'S

YOUR.

>> PITCH TO THE PRESIDENT? YOU

KNOW, I'M YOUR PERSON. I'VE

BEEN LOYAL AND I'VE BEEN THERE

FOR YOU. AND I LOVE EVERYTHING

YOU DO AND I WANT TO TAKE THE

THINGS THAT YOU'RE DOING MAKING

AMERICA GREAT AND BRING IT RIGHT

TO SOUTH CAROLINA.

>> I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT

WHAT'S GOING ON AT CLEMSON. IT

HAS FIRED TWO FACULTY MEMBERS

AND ONE STAFF MEMBER OVER SOCIAL

MEDIA POSTS RELATED TO THE

ASSASSINATION OF CHARLIE KIRK.

YES. HOW DO YOU COME DOWN ON

THAT? AND DO YOU HAVE ANY

CONCERN THAT THIS KIND OF FIRING

FOR SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS, SEPARATE

FROM WHAT THEIR ACTUAL JOB IS,

INFRINGES ON FREE SPEECH?

>> YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK

THERE'S ANYBODY THAT CAN ARGUE

THAT THE FOUNDATION OF THIS

NATION IS FREE SPEECH, AND WE

SHOULD HAVE IT. BUT I'M A

BUSINESS PERSON, AND WHEN

SOMEBODY IS FREE, SPEECH STARTS

TO INTERSECT AND HURT YOUR

COMPANY, YOUR BRAND. THOSE ARE

TWO SEPARATE THINGS. THERE'S

CONSEQUENCES. THAT'S RIGHT.

THERE'S CONSEQUENCES. RIGHT.

AND AT CLEMSON, MY SON GOES

THERE AND I WAS VERY OUTSPOKEN.

I KNOW THE PRESIDENT OF THE

COLLEGE VERY WELL. HIM AND I

TALKED ABOUT THIS. I DIDN'T JUST

RUN OUT TO SOCIAL MEDIA. WHAT I

AM UPSET WITH IS THAT I HEAR

OVER AND OVER AGAIN FROM MY

CHILDREN, MY CHILDREN'S FRIENDS.

I HAVE THREE CHILDREN FROM

NIECES AND NEPHEWS. YOU KEEP

KEEPS BUILDING. HOW MANY KIDS?

HE'LL SAY, GO AND ASK STUDENTS

ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES HOW MANY

TIMES THEY'VE HAD TO WRITE A

PAPER OR TALK IN A TONE OR A

TENSE THAT THEY DON'T AGREE

WITH FOR FEAR OF RETRIBUTION BY

A PROFESSOR? SO WHEN WE TALK.

>> OF A BAD GRADE OR WORSE.

>> EXACTLY. SO WHEN WE TALK

ABOUT THIS, WHY ARE WE ALWAYS SO

WORRIED ABOUT PROTECTING THE

PROFESSOR AND NOT THE KIDS THAT

YOU KNOW, ARE SITTING IN A

CLASSROOM THAT A LOT OF PARENTS

AND A LOT OF KIDS FEEL LIKE

THEY'RE TRYING TO BE

INDOCTRINATED? WHY AREN'T WE

USING COLLEGES TO CULTIVATE

CRITICAL THINKING? YOU KNOW,

WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE, I BEST

PROFESSORS COULD ARGUE BOTH

SIDES OF A POINT AND I COULD

WALK OUT OF THAT LECTURE AND

NEVER KNOWING WHAT THEIR POINT

OF VIEW WAS. AND THAT'S WHAT WE

HAVE TO GET BACK TO TEACHING

CRITICAL THINKING.

>> SO HOW DOES THAT EMBRACE OF

CRITICAL THINKING FACTOR FACTOR

THROUGH YOUR EVALUATION OF JIMMY

KIMMEL?

>> SO, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I'M A

BUSINESS PERSON. WAS THAT

FIRING, YOU KNOW, COMING BECAUSE

AS A BUSINESS DECISION BY DISNEY

THAT HIS RATINGS WEREN'T WHAT

THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN. WAS IT

OUTRAGE FROM MARKETS THAT EVEN

NOW WITH HIM COMING BACK ON,

THERE ARE MARKETS.

>> TO HAVE BEEN INFLUENCED BY

THE FCC CHAIRMAN.

>> BUT WAS THAT, YOU KNOW, FROM

WHAT I'VE READ AND AGAIN, THIS

IS JUST BY WHAT YOU KNOW, WHAT

I'VE READ IS THAT THEY WERE

MOSTLY CALLING HIM OUT FOR SOME

OF THE REMARKS HE MADE, SAYING

THAT THE SHOOTER WAS MAGA. SO IT

WAS A LIE, NOT SO MUCH WHAT HE

SAID, BUT YOU CAN'T LIE ABOUT

WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. AND I

THOUGHT THAT'S KIND OF WHERE

THE PUSH CAME FROM. AND I THINK

WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WHEN WE

GET OUT THERE AND WE SAY THINGS.

I THINK THIS RHETORIC, I REALLY

WAS KIND OF OFFENDED, LIKE

EVERYBODY SAYING, YOU KNOW, BOTH

SIDES NEED TO TONE DOWN THE

RHETORIC WHEN I LITERALLY SAW

DEMOCRATS OVER THE YEARS, YOU

KNOW, MAXINE WATERS COMING OUT

AND SAYING, IF YOU SEE MAGA

PEOPLE, IF YOU SEE REPUBLICANS

GET IN THEIR FACE, MAKE THEM

UNCOMFORTABLE, PUSH THEM OUT OF

PUBLIC PLACES. I MEAN, THAT IS

REALLY VIOLENT RHETORIC. AND

WE'VE WE'VE CONSISTENTLY SEEN

THAT COMING FROM THE DEMOCRATS.

I NEVER SAW WHEN THOSE MINNESOTA

LAWMAKERS WERE KILLED. I NEVER

SAW ONE REPUBLICAN REJOICE IN

THAT WHEN IT CAME TO, YOU KNOW,

RECOGNIZING THEM ON THE HOUSE

FLOOR, THE DEMOCRATS AND THE

REPUBLICANS UNITED TO COME

TOGETHER TO SAY, YES, WE SHOULD.

YOU KNOW, ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS

HORRIBLE INCIDENT HAPPENED. WE

SAW DEMOCRATS THAT WOULDN'T,

YOU KNOW, GIVE ANY CONSIDERATION

TO CHARLIE KIRK. AND I THINK

THAT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T LUMP US

ALL IN TOGETHER. YOU HAVE TO

CALL OUT BAD BEHAVIOR. AND AND I

THINK WE HAVE TO BE FAIR WHEN WE

CALL THAT OUT.

>> AND YOU ONLY SEE IT ON THE

LEFT.

>> YEAH. I HAVEN'T REALLY SEEN

MUCH OF IT. I'M NOT CALLING FOR

VIOLENT ACTS. I'VE NOT SEEN

THAT. NOW, I'M NOT SAYING I'VE

SEEN EVERY REPUBLICAN ACROSS THE

COUNTRY IN WHAT THEY'VE SAID,

BUT I'VE REALLY SEEN A BIG

UPTICK IN CALLING REPUBLICANS A

THREAT TO DEMOCRACY, CALLING OUR

PRESIDENT A NAZI THAT JUST

INCITES AND MOVES PEOPLE WHO MAY

BE SUFFERING FROM MENTAL HEALTH

ISSUES. SO I THINK THE RHETORIC

NEEDS TO BE TONED DOWN, AND I

HOPE THE DEMOCRATS ARE LEARNING

FROM THIS HORRIBLE INCIDENT.
