Tom Cotton: The world is laughing at Biden after UN speech

>> President Biden: WE ARE NOT SEEKING A NEW COLD WAR OR A WORLD DIVIDED INTO RIGID BLOCKS. THE UNITED STATES IS READY TO WORK WITH ANY NATION THAT STEPS UP AND PURSUES PEACEFUL RESOLUTION TO SHARED CHALLENGES EVEN IF WE HAVE INTENSE DISAGREEMENTS. >> Harris: THE PRESIDENT IS GETTING TORCHED TODAY BY CRITICS. THEY SAY HE FAILED TO CALL OUT AMERICA'S ADVERSARIES IN HIS SPEECH AT THE U.N. YESTERDAY. THE WHITE HOUSE CLAIMS NOT MENTIONING CHINA AND RUSSIA WAS DONE BY DESIGN BUT FORMER U.S. AMBASSADOR TO THE U.N. NIKKI HALEY SAYS QUOTE, PRESIDENT BIDEN'S SPEECH IGNORED THE REALITY AND SERIOUSNESS OF AMERICA'S THREATS AND ENEMIES. CHINA, RUSSIA, IRAN, NORTH KOREA YEAH. SENATOR TOM COTTON REPUBLICAN FROM ARKANSAS. WELCOME TO THE PROGRAM. YOUR TOP LINE THOUGHTS ABOUT THE SPEECH YESTERDAY WITH REGARD TO HOW THE WORLD SEES US NOW. >> GOOD MORNING. GOOD TO BE BACK ON WITH YOU. I THINK A LOT OF THE WORLD SEES JOE BIDEN AND LAUGHS AT THE STATEMENTS HE MADE YESTERDAY. YOU JUST MENTIONED SAYING WE DON'T SEEK A COLD WAR. OF COURSE NOT. WE WOULD RATHER HAVE PEACE WITH ALL NATIONS. BUT WHEN CHINA IS WAGING A COLD WAR AGAINST THE UNITED STATES WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE WHETHER WE'RE IN IT OR NOT. WE HAVE A CHOICE TO WIN OR LOSE. HE DIDN'T MENTION CHINA'S NAME LIKE HE WAS SCARED TO MENTION THEIR NAME. I KNOW THE WHITE HOUSE IS DOING DAMAGE CONTROL TODAY SAYING IT WAS BY DESIGN. 2014 AFTER RUSSIA INVADED CRY MIA. BARACK OBAMA USED RUSSIA'S NAME MORE THAN 10 TIMES. BEIJING IS LAUGHING TODAY AT JOE BIDEN AND IT'S A DANGEROUS THING FOR CHINA NOT TO TAKE THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT SERIOUSLY. >> Harris: I WANT TO STEP IN ON AFGHANISTAN FOR A SECOND. WHEN THE PRESIDENT STARTED TALKING ABOUT OVER THE HORIZON I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF WHAT YOU SAID OVER THE RAINBOW BECAUSE HE USED WHAT HAPPENED IN AFGHANISTAN AS ALMOST A WAY TO SHOW THE ATTACK WHERE OUR 13 MEMBERS OF OUR MILITARY WERE KILLED AT THE GATES OF KABUL AIRPORT TO SHOW THAT OVER THE HORIZON CAN WORK GOING AFTER TERRORISTS. I GOT LOST IN HIS SPEECH AT THAT TIME? IS THAT REALLY WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO SAY OR DID HE GET LOST, TOO? >> I DON'T KNOW. IT WON'T WORK. I'VE SPOKEN WITH MANY PEOPLE SENIOR IN THE MILITARY AND INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES OF OUR GOVERNMENT. THEY SAY THAT THERE IS ALMOST NO ABILITY TO CONDUCT THE KIND OF TERROR STRIKES WE'VE BEEN CONDUCTING IN AFGHANISTAN FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS. I KNOW THE PRESIDENT CITES COUNTRIES LIKE YEMEN OR SOMALIA. THOSE COUNTRIES ARE ON THE COAST AND WE HAVE ACCESS TO THEM WITH THE NAVY AND SURROUNDED BY COUNTRIES WILLING TO COOPERATE WITH US. SO WE HAVE ACCESS TO THEM BY THE GROUND AS WELL. NOT THE CASE WITH AFGHANISTAN. IT IS A UNIQUELY CHALLENGING THREAT TO THE UNITED STATES. NOW THE TALIBAN HAS DRIVEN AMERICA OUT IN A HUMILIATING FASHION AND INSPIRING JIHADISTS TO GO BACK INTO AFGHANISTAN WE ARE MORE AT RISK NOW FROM AFGHANISTAN THAN WE HAVE BEEN IN THE LAST 20 YEARS. >> Harris: HE CERTAIN LIFE PUT A ROSIE FACE ON IT. THE "NEW YORK POST" WITH A SCATHING HEADLINE. BIDEN'S PLATITUDES AT THE U.N. WON'T FIX HIS TATTERED GLOBAL IMAGE. FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE MIKE POMPEO IN A NEW OP-ED CALLING BIDEN'S WEAKNESS. RATHER THAN STAND UP TO OUR ENEMIES AND PRESENT THE WORLD WITH STRONG AMERICAN LEADERSHIP IN LIGHT OF THE MYRIAD CHALLENGES WE FACE PRESIDENT BIDEN CHOSE TO FOCUS PRIMARILY ON CLIMATE CHANGE. SENATOR COTTON. >> YEAH, NOT JUST OUR ADVERSARIES RIGHT NOW DON'T HAVE A LOT OF REGARD FOR JOE BIDEN. OUR ALLIES AS WELL. SO MANY OF OUR ALLIES WHO SERVED ALONGSIDE US FOR 20 YEARS IN AFGHANISTAN LIKE OUR NATO PARTNERS WERE CAUGHT BY SURPRIEFS BY JOE BIDEN'S ILL-PLANNED AND DISORGANIZED CHAOTIC WITHDRAWAL OR LAST WEEK WHEN WE MADE A GOOD DEAL WITH AUSTRALIA TO PROVIDE THEM NUCLEAR-POWERED SUBMARINES TO COUNTERACT CHINA BUT FAILED A TEST OF DIPLOMACY TO KEEP FRANCE INFORMED AND PLEASED AND NOW FRANCE HAS RECALLED ITS AMBASSADOR FROM THE UNITED STATES. AN ALMOST UNPRECEDENTED ACT TO EXPRESS THEIR DISAPPOINTMENT AND FRUSTRATION WITH JOE BIDEN. OUR ALLIES ARE DEEPLY FRUSTRATED WITH THE PRESIDENT AS WELL. >> Harris: HE IS DOING A SIDE BY AT THE WHITE HOUSE TODAY KIND OF ON THE COVID SITUATION BUT HE HAD A CLANS TO SIT DOWN WITH SO MANY OF OUR LEADERS. PANDEMIC-RESTRICTED SITUATION AND HE DIDN'T TAKE THE HOURS TO DO THAT YESTERDAY BEFORE HE TOOK OFF. I WANT TO GET TO THIS. ALL OF IT IS HAVING AN IMPACT ON HOW PEOPLE SEE HIM NOW ON BOEKT SIDES OF THE AISLE. IN THE MIDST OF THE CRISES FACING THE COUNTRY HIS APPROVAL IN A KEY SWING STATE, IMPORTANT IN MID-TERMS IN 2022 OR RUN AGAIN OR ANY OTHER DEMOCRAT WILL FIND IT HARDER IF IN THE GENERAL ELECTION YOU HAVE THIS TRAILING BEHIND YOU. A NEW POLL FINDS IN IOWA 62% OF PEOPLE IN IOWA DISAPPROVE OF THE JOB BIDEN IS DOING COMPARED TO JUST 31% WHO APPROVE. THAT'S A 12% DROP IN APPROVAL FROM JUST JUNE. I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THIS IS LOWER THAN DONALD TRUMP WAS IN THAT STATE AT ANY POINT. BIDEN HAS DRIVEN IN JUST EIGHT PLUS MONTHS DEMOCRATS TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL AND IT IS NOT A GOOD ONE. >> JOE BIDEN DIDN'T CAMPAIGN TRYING TO TRANSFORM AMERICA INTO A SOCIALIST NATION OR HUMBLE US IN THE WORLD IN FRONT OF OUR ENEMIES. THAT'S WHAT HE HAS BEEN TRYING TO DELIVER FOR EIGHT MONTHS. A LOT OF DEMOCRATS WHO PROBABLY VOTED FOR JOE BIDEN LAST YEAR ARE NOW DISAFFECTED AND THEY ARE BEGINNING TO EXPRESS THEIR DISAFFECTION IN THE POLLS. IF JOE BIDEN IS POLLING IN IOWA HE IS DOING THAT BAD IN MISSOURI, OHIO, AND WISCONSIN. I CAN TELL YOU IN CONGRESS, THE DEMOCRATS ARE TURNING INTO HOT BED OF COLD FEET WHEN IT COMES TO PASSING THEIR RECORD TAX HIKE AND SPENDING BILL. >> Harris: YOU ALWAYS GIVE US A BUMPER STICKER AND I TALK ABOUT IT FOR DAYS AFTER. SENATOR COTTON, THANK YOU VERY MUCH
