Appreciate what you did thank you, I know, TED Cruz was great, and also this man Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, who joins us now, senator you equally had strong remarks and going back to this case of this supervisor in the school and this memo about domestic terrorism for parents, you said that all I can conclude is either you are not in control of your department or more likely, I think, to be the case is about a knew full well exactly what would happen, meaning the memo going after and targeting parents that are concerned about what is being taught in in their kids schools yeah. What we saw Sean is the Department of Justice and federal prosecutors are already drawing up a list. Thirteen crimes on this one particular list, thirteen crimes that parents could be charged with these are federal crimes by the way Sean, the attorney general standing up there and saying we are only concerned about justice. Meanwhile, his prosecutors are making lists of crimes. Parents could be charged
with that have nothing to do with violence. One of them was making an annoying phone call to a school board member that is on the list of something a parent could be charged with by a federal prosecutor. I mean you talk about an attempt to chill speech to shut down speech. That is it. You made a good legal argument, because the Supreme Court has been clear that the word with the word intimidation and with respect to the constitutional protection and that it directs a threat to a person with the intent of placing a victim in fear of bodily harm or death. These are parents, saying no. We want age, appropriate information that is given to our kids. We dont want critical race theory and we dont think parents speaking out ought to be labeled or looked at or investigated as domestic terrorists. Parents have every right Sean to go to a school board. Meeting ive got three little
kids of my own theyve got every right to go to a school board, meeting and say: hey. I dont want my kids taught critical race theory. I dont want my kids forced into mask mandates or vaccine mandates. They can express their opinion on anything, they pay their taxes and our voters. The idea that the Biden, administration and Merrick Garland would weaponize the FBI against parents to try and silence speech. I mean man that is a new low, not just for this administration, but in american history, Joe Biden owns it, Merrick Garland owns it and I think history is going to remember them unkindly for it more than that, I think the voters are going to remember them, unkindly for it and express their views pretty soon. We just got an internal memo within Fox NEWS from Chad, Pergram. Apparently Joe Biden is going to the capitol tomorrow for the democratic caucus meeting at 900, a dot m and the president headed to Glasgow on the summit,
whatever energy summit or climate change summit anyway. So there is a push. There seems to be this intramural battle within democratic ranks, the progressive wing and then the less progressive wing. But it is a matter of degrees of socialism right. It seems that they cant come to an agreement. It seems that they really want to spend trillions and they dont have any means to pay for it. It seems the talking point that three point: five trillion will cost you. Zero has not gone particularly overwhelmed with the american people. Where do you see this headed? Well, I think the real problem here is the american people look at this and it is desperately unpopular. The american people look at what Joe Biden has given America runaway inflation foreign policy, that is in total, shambles a border that is a source of crime and drugs pouring across it. People cant get basic supplies. Cant Christmas gifts, cant get their car repaired. That is
Joe Bidens America, and now the Democrats want to double down on it. It is so unpopular and some Democrats in Congress are starting to realize it. Whoa people dont want this, and yet other Democrats want to the cliff the american people dont want what they are selling again. I think pretty soon the american people, whether Virginia here next week, the races to come, they are going to get away in and send a loud message ill. Ask you the last question: I asked Senator cotton, Afghanistan disaster border disaster, more people, Americans dead of Covid this year than last year, inflation, the economy, giving up energy independence, hostile regimes, Russia, China, IRAN, North Korea, they dont seem intimidated by Joe ever think it could get this bad in ten months. No, but I tell you one thing: he has been successful ad, which is discrediting local liberalism for the joke that it is the local liberals want to remake the society. They want to
change America from top to bottom. They want to impose their value system on this country. Economic socialism hollow out the working class and now Biden expose that for what it is, a total and complete disaster great job. Today, a few of you did an amazing job. You did a great job caught and did a job Cruz did a great job. Lindsey did great. You are all great today. We need Republicans to stand.
