Tom Cotton: Biden's failures are everywhere you turn

HARRIS. >> Harris: PETER DOOCY, THANK YOU FOR SETTING US UP WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE. REPUBLICAN SENATOR TOM COTTON. MEMBER OF THE SENATE JUDICIARY, ARMED SERVICES AND INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEES ALSO FROM THE GREAT STATE OF ARKANSAS. GOOD TO SEE YOU TODAY. HOW SURPRISING IS IT, OR NOT, THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN IS GOING TO SPEAK ON DIALING DOWN HATE? >> I THINK OTHER HE PRETTY SURPRISING, HARRIS, JOE BIDEN WANTS TO FIND ONE OF THE MAIN SOURCES OF DIVISION AND POTENTIAL THREATS OF POLITICAL VIOLENCE IN OUR COUNTRY LOOK AT THE MIRROR AND THE CROWD OF LIBERALS AT THE WHITE HOUSE TODAY. THE DERANGED SPEECH HE GAVE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO IN HIS REMARKS IN RECENT WEEKS OF DECLARING 74 MILLION PEOPLE WHO VOTED REPUBLICAN THE LAST ELECTION SEMI FASCISTS ARE BENEATH THE DIGNITY OF ANY PRESIDENT. BUT ESPECIALLY ONE WHO PROMISED THE TRY TO DELIVER UNITY IN HIS INAUGURAL ADDRESS. REMEMBER, JOE BIDEN HAS A LONG HISTORY OF SUCH COMMENTS. HE SAID IN 2012 THAT MITT ROMNEY, OF ALL PEOPLE, WOULD PUT AFRICAN-AMERICAN CITIZENS BACK IN CHAINS. AND HIS DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HAS NOT TAKEN STEPS NECESSARY TO TRY TO PREVENT POLITICAL VIOLENCE. YOU HAD LEFT WING AGITATORS OUTSIDE THE HOMES OF SUPREME COURT JUSTICES THIS SUMMER IN CLEAR VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW AND THEY REFUSED TO ARREST A SINGLE ONE OF THEM. THAT WHOLE EPISODE CULMINATED IN A DEMOCRATIC HIT MAN TRYING TO ASSASSINATE BRETT KAVANAUGH. NOT A SINGLE PERSON WHO ORGANIZED THOSE UNLAWFUL GATHERINGS OUTSIDE OF JUSTICE'S HOMES HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. I THINK JOE BIDEN NEEDS TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND LOOK AT FELLOW LIBERALS WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT SOURCES OF DIVISION IN THE COUNTRY. >> Harris: YOU CAME WITH SOME EXAMPLES THAT WE HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN THEM. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THEM THAT WAY IT IS QUITE A STACK. AND SO MUCH OFFENSIVENESS IN THERE. SO MANY POINTS WHERE HE COULD START WITH I WISH I HADN'T SAID THIS, LET'S DO IT DIFFERENTLY. I DO WANT TO GET TO THIS REAL QUICKLY. HE IS DECRYING THAT HATE AFTER ATTACKING THE G.O.P. HE IS SAYING WE HAVE TO DO BETTER. A "NEW YORK POST" OP-ED BIDEN DRAFTS HATE TO GET OUT THE VOTE. THE EVENT WILL BE THE LARGEST EPISODE OF THE BIDEN SALVATION SHOW. EVERY SANE PERSON OPPOSES MASS MURDER AND VICIOUS ATTACKS ON INNOCENT PEOPLE. THERE WILL BE NOTHING TO LEARN FROM THE WHITE HOUSE SUMMIT. AMERICANS CAN CONDEMN HATRED WITHOUT PUTTING BIDEN OR ANY OTHER POLITICIAN ON A PEDESTAL. YOUR REACTION. >> WELL, I THINK THE "NEW YORK POST" ACTUALLY DIDN'T TAKE THE DEMOCRATS AT THEIR WORDS. DEMOCRATS DON'T CONDEMN VIOLENCE AND MURDER IN SOME CASES BECAUSE THEY ARE ACTIVELY WORKING TO TRY TO PUT MURDERERS BACK ON THE STREETS. LOOK AT THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF WISCONSIN MANDELA BARNS WANTS TO ELIMINATE THE BAIL SYSTEM IN WISCONSIN TO RELEASE CRIMINALS THE MOMENT AFTER THEY GET ARRESTED AND ARRAIGNED. JOE BIDEN SUPPORTS HIM. LOOK AT THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF PENNSYLVANIA JOHN FETTERMAN. IF HE COULD HAVE ONE WISH IT WOULD BE ELIMINATE LONG SENTENCES FOR MURDERERS. JOE BIDEN SUPPORTS HIM AS WELL. THE CRIME WAVE YOU SEE IN THIS COUNTRY IS A RESULT OF FAILED DEMOCRATIC POLICIES AND IT STARTS AT THE TOP IN THE WHITE HOUSE. >> Harris: YOU LOOK AT THE RECIDIVISM OF CRIMINALS IN GENERAL. THOSE WHO COMMIT VIOLENT CRIMES IN PARTICULAR. WHEN YOU HEAR WORDS LIKE THAT FROM FETTERMAN YOU START TO WONDER WHAT WORLD ARE THEY LIVING IN? HIS WORLD WOULD INCLUDE PHILADELPHIA, ALL OF PENNSYLVANIA AND AREAS WHERE CRIME IS RAMPANT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY CAN'T SEE WHAT'S IN FRONT OF THEIR FACES. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES RIGHT NOW HAS JUST WRAPPED UP HIS TALK ABOUT LABOR AND AVOIDING THAT RAIL STRIKE. I WANT TO GET YOUR IDEA ON WHERE WE ARE IN TERMS OF ALL OF THE CRISES THAT THE PRESIDENT IS DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW. WHEN WE STARTED TO READ ABOUT A RAIL STRIKE AND HOW IT WOULD IMPACT POTENTIALLY SUPPLY CHAINS, I MEAN, IT LITERALLY IS ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER. >> IT IS, HARRIS. I THINK IT'S ONE REASON YOU SEE THIS EVENT TODAY AT THE WHITE HOUSE, OR YOU SAW THAT DERANGED SPEECH IN PHILADELPHIA A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WHICH THE PRESIDENT WANTS TO TRY TO FOMENT THESE DIVISIONS TO DISTRACT AWAY FROM THE FAILURES OF HIS ADMINISTRATION. INFLATION IS RUNNING AS HIGH AS IT HAS IN 40 YEARS. PEOPLE STRUGGLING TO PAY THE BILLS AT THE GROCERY STORE OR UTILITY BILLS AT HOME. YOU HAVE CRIME SURGING ACROSS AMERICA. SADLY IT SEEMS LIKE WE SEE ANOTHER HORRIFIC MURDER IN THE NEWS EVERY NIGHT IN ONE OF AMERICA'S BIG CITIES. THE BORDER IS TOTALLY CHAOTIC AND OUT OF CONTROL. PRESIDENT'S FAILURES ABROAD HAVE HELPED CREATE THE CONDITION TO BRING CHINA AND RUSSIA CLOSER TOGETHER. THE FAILURES OF THIS PRESIDENT ARE ALL EVERYWHERE YOU TURN. I THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HOLD THE DEMOCRATS ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. >> Harris: WHAT'S INTERESTING, I HAD THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE RONNA McDANIEL ON YESTERDAY AND SAID IF REPUBLICANS CAN FOCUS ON SOME OF THE THINGS YOU JUST MENTIONED, WILL CAIN SAYS MAKE IT ALL ABOUT THE ECONOMY AS WELL, SHE SAID THAT, TOO. DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO PULL IN SOME CULTURAL THINGS AND THEY'LL GET NASTY WITH THE NAME CALLING, WE CAN SEE THAT FROM THE VERY WHITE HOUSE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. HOW HARD IS THAT FOCUS AND THAT UNITY WITHIN YOUR OWN PARTY RIGHT NOW? >> IT'S NOT REALLY ALL THAT HARD. THAT'S WHAT MOST NORMAL AMERICANS ARE THINKING ABOUT. WHEN YOU TALK TO PEOPLE IN ARKANSAS THEY AREN'T FOLLOWING JOE BIDEN'S EVENTS. THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT HOW TO BUY EGGS THIS WEEKEND AT THE GROCERY STORE? THEY'RE WORRIED WITH WINTER COMING AND NATURAL GAS PRICES AT VERY HIGH LEVELS, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO PAY THE ELECTRICITY BILL AND WORRIED ABOUT THEIR KIDS BEING SAFE AT A PARK OR WALKING DOWN THE STREET TO AND FRO HOME AND SCHOOL. OR WHAT THEY'RE LEARNING AT SCHOOL. THAT'S WHAT'S ON THE MINDS OF MOST NORMAL AMERICANS EVEN IF IT'S NOT ON THE MINDS OF JOE BIDEN AND DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS IN WASHINGTON >> Harris: YOU KNOW, I MENTIONED THAT THE PRESIDENT HAD JUST BEEN SPEAKING AT THE WHITE HOUSE. WE KNOW HE HAS A BIG SPEECH PLANNED LATER TODAY ON THE UNITY SUMMIT THAT YOU AND I STARTED WITH, SENATOR. BUT AT THE WHITE HOUSE HE SPOKE AFTER RAILROADS AND UNIONS REACH A DEAL TO AVERT A STRUCK. IT THREATENED TO SHUT DOWN RAIL LINES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT HE JUST SAID. >> President Biden: I AM VERY PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE A TENTATIVE LABOR AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE RAILROAD WORKERS AND THE RAILWAY COMPANIES. THIS AGREEMENT IS A BIG WIN FOR AMERICA AND FOR BOTH IN MY VIEW. >> Harris: A QUICK REACTION TO THAT. WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE STACKING UP AGAINST THIS PRESIDENT. >> WELL, I WELCOME ANY AGREEMENT THAT WILL KEEP AMERICA'S RAILROADS WORKING. THIS IS PRIMARILY A PRIVATE NEGOTIATION BETWEEN THE RAILROADS AND THE RAILROAD WORKERS. I HAVEN'T SEEN THE TERMS OF THEIR AGREEMENT. IT IS LARGELY BETWEEN THEM AS ANY LABOR MANAGEMENT NEGOTIATION IS. BUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF A STRIKE COULD HAVE BEEN DEVASTATING FOR AMERICA UP TO $2 BILLION A DAY. I WISH IT HADN'T GOTTEN TO THIS POINT. THERE HAS BEEN SOME DISRUPTION OF SOME "ARGO" PULLED OFF THE LINES. I WISH WE HAD REACHED THIS AGREEMENT A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS BUT A GOOD THING FOR AMERICANS. >> Harris: SENATOR COTTON, GREAT TO HAVE YOU IN "FOCUS."
