Missouri Republican says Joe Biden's America is 'desperately unpopular' on 'Hannity'
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
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.
