1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,480
Republican senator from the
Great State of Arkansas, Tom

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,040
Cotton. He's a member of the
Senate Intel Committee Senator

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,480
Good morning to you Good
morning. Good morning, good to

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,520
be on the call. It's great to
have you as well. um during the

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,600
60 minutes interview. uh both
the uh question asked the

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,840
candidates uh the most
impactful foreign nation uh the

7
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,040
president, said China Joe Biden
said Russia. What did you make

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:28,420
of those two answers? You know
Steve I remember back in the

9
00:00:28,420 --> 00:00:31,940
2012 debates when Mitt Romney
gave the same answer. That was

10
00:00:31,940 --> 00:00:36,180
our main adversary and he got
laughed off the stage by Barack

11
00:00:36,180 --> 00:00:39,140
Obama and the Democrats. Barack
Obama even said that the 1980s

12
00:00:39,140 --> 00:00:41,700
called and they wanted their
foreign policy back. I guess

13
00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:44,260
the 1980s are calling me and
asking for their candidate

14
00:00:44,260 --> 00:00:46,980
back. Although with Joe Biden's
case, it might be the 1970s

15
00:00:46,980 --> 00:00:49,940
that are calling and asking for
their candidate back. Oh look

16
00:00:49,940 --> 00:00:53,700
Joe Biden is wrong. Russia.
Russia is a threat. We have to

17
00:00:53,700 --> 00:00:57,400
be mindful about Russia,
President Trump has taken. To

18
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,560
increase Nato defense spending
to withdraw from obsolete

19
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,200
treaties with Russia that put
us at a disadvantage to shut

20
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,880
down their consulates and uh
send back their spies to

21
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,160
Russia. But there's no question
that China is the number one

22
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,280
threaten the United States
faces they've stolen our jobs

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,080
and our factories for decades.
they continue to steal our

24
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,600
property. They have spies and
our universities and all around

25
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,320
the country and of course,
their military buildup is

26
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:25,800
specifically designed to
threaten our interest and our

27
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,940
allies in the Western Pacific.
Joe Biden, the Democrats only

28
00:01:29,940 --> 00:01:32,100
discovered their inner cold
warrior because they wanted to

29
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:35,700
blame Hillary Clinton's loss on
Russia, not on Hillary Clinton

30
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:38,660
in their own campaign. Well now
Democrats are blaming Russia

31
00:01:38,660 --> 00:01:41,860
for the Hunter Biden email
scandal. They're saying that um

32
00:01:41,860 --> 00:01:44,820
it's Russian disinformation,
they're trying to use Rudy

33
00:01:44,820 --> 00:01:48,740
Giuliani to spread information
to hurt Joe Biden. This is what

34
00:01:48,740 --> 00:01:53,860
Joe Biden said about his son's
email leak. Do you believe the

35
00:01:53,860 --> 00:01:58,800
recent leak of material
allegedly from? Hunter's

36
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,840
computer is part of a Russian
disinformation campaign from

37
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,040
what I've read and know the
intelligence community warned

38
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,680
the president that Giuliani was
being fed disinformation from

39
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:14,400
the Russians and we also know
that Putin is trying very hard

40
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,640
to spread disinformation about
Joe Biden and so when you put

41
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:23,200
the combination of Russia,
Giuliani the president together

42
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,160
um it's just what it is. It's a
smear campaign because he has

43
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,140
nothing he wants to talk. About
this, what is he running on

44
00:02:30,140 --> 00:02:34,060
what is he running on Senator?
What do you believe is the

45
00:02:34,060 --> 00:02:39,120
truth here and what evidence do
you have? What a joke Ainsley

46
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,160
Russian disinformation that
couldn't be more false. Both

47
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,840
words are false. They have no
evidence whatsoever to suggest

48
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,600
that these emails or documents
came from Russia. look the

49
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,400
simplest explanation for these
things is usually the correct

50
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,920
explanation. Those emails came
from Hunter Biden's laptop that

51
00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:58,880
he took to a computer shop in
Delaware and he left there and

52
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,840
the second disinformation or
misinformation that implies

53
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,120
that there is false
information. As far as we know,

54
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,700
Joe Biden has not denied any of
this. He had a chance last

55
00:03:08,700 --> 00:03:11,180
night in 60 minutes. He still
didn't deny it. Hunter. Biden

56
00:03:11,180 --> 00:03:13,340
certainly hasn't denied it for
all you. Sherlock Holmes fans

57
00:03:13,340 --> 00:03:16,060
out there. Those are the dogs
that didn't bark if this was

58
00:03:16,060 --> 00:03:19,100
false. If Hunter Biden was not
trading on his family's name in

59
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:22,780
his father's office, they would
simply say this is false. It's

60
00:03:22,780 --> 00:03:25,420
not authentic. This is fake,
but we all know that Hunter

61
00:03:25,420 --> 00:03:28,620
Biden, like much of the rest of
the Biden family has been

62
00:03:28,620 --> 00:03:31,580
trading on the Biden family
name and Joe Biden's public

63
00:03:31,580 --> 00:03:34,300
office for decades, but they
didn't even throw out the

64
00:03:34,300 --> 00:03:37,900
question. He didn't even put on
the question. He hasn't gotten

65
00:03:37,900 --> 00:03:41,020
the question and this stuff has
been. A week already and you

66
00:03:41,020 --> 00:03:43,580
know do you know Tony Bobs
might be something else to

67
00:03:43,580 --> 00:03:46,860
follow up on a yes or no would
tell a lot, but let's fast

68
00:03:46,860 --> 00:03:48,780
forward to what's gonna be
happening today with Amy Coney

69
00:03:48,780 --> 00:03:52,060
Barrett. If she gets confirmed
even Lisa Murkowski is gonna

70
00:03:52,060 --> 00:03:55,900
vote for which seems to be uh
given the looks like Joe

71
00:03:55,900 --> 00:03:58,620
Biden's gonna put together a
commission about changing the

72
00:03:58,620 --> 00:04:01,180
Supreme Court. What do you
think that commission is gonna

73
00:04:01,180 --> 00:04:07,420
show well first off? It's not
if it's when Judge Barrett will

74
00:04:07,420 --> 00:04:10,780
be confirmed tonight a little
bit after 7 o'clock Eastern

75
00:04:10,780 --> 00:04:14,480
time Look. American people got
a good look at Judge Barrett a

76
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,400
couple of weeks ago, their
confirmation hearings. They

77
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,040
love what they saw and now a
clear majority supports her

78
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,440
confirmation. That's because
she is a brilliant jurist. She

79
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,280
conducted herself with grace
and poise and dignity under

80
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:30,480
some demanding circumstances
and she applies and interprets

81
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,280
the law. as it's written, not
as she wishes it might have

82
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:35,520
been written so Judge Barrett
is gonna be confirmed this

83
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,480
evening now, Joe Biden and the
Democrats are threatening to do

84
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:43,080
things like pack the courts
because they don't do. The

85
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,680
courts as an independent
arbiter of the rule of law,

86
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,480
they just viewed as another
super Legislature to achieve

87
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,200
their desired outcome, Some of
which you saw last week during

88
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,240
the debate like Joe Biden
promising a no strings attached

89
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,360
amnesty in the first 100 days
of his administration. if he

90
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,280
wins or promising to end the
fossil fuel industry. Those are

91
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:05,400
the kind of objectives that
they have and they don't want

92
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,680
something as nettles as the
Supreme Court and the rule of

93
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,220
law standing in their way. But
senator you know uh. Joe Biden

94
00:05:13,220 --> 00:05:15,460
has been asked a number of
times over the last couple of

95
00:05:15,460 --> 00:05:19,060
weeks. Do you wanna pack the
court and finally he gave the

96
00:05:19,060 --> 00:05:22,420
answer, which was I'm not gonna
give you an answer. If I'm

97
00:05:22,420 --> 00:05:26,020
elected. I'm gonna I'm gonna
put together uh a commission

98
00:05:26,020 --> 00:05:29,780
and they're gonna I'm gonna
give them 180 days, which kind

99
00:05:29,780 --> 00:05:32,740
of sounds like what a number of
people have said over the last

100
00:05:32,740 --> 00:05:37,860
couple of days, Joe Biden is at
the stage given what he said

101
00:05:37,860 --> 00:05:42,500
regarding a fracking and fossil
fuels. he will say anything to

102
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:46,860
get elected. Thank you. And
Steve, that's what Joe Biden

103
00:05:46,860 --> 00:05:49,500
has done throughout his career.
He's really been a weather vein

104
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:53,020
for where the center mass of
the Democratic Party is at a

105
00:05:53,020 --> 00:05:56,700
certain time. That's one reason
why he was so weak on defense,

106
00:05:56,700 --> 00:06:00,620
the 70s and the 80s or why he
stood up for giant credit card

107
00:06:00,620 --> 00:06:03,260
companies in his home state of
Delaware 20 years ago, and

108
00:06:03,260 --> 00:06:06,380
that's why he's moved so far to
the left today, things like an

109
00:06:06,380 --> 00:06:10,140
immediate amnesty with no
promises of enforcement in

110
00:06:10,140 --> 00:06:15,240
return or ending the fossil
fuel industry or imposing.

111
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,520
Imposing a government health
care plan on the American

112
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,680
people, something that not even
Barack Obama and sixty

113
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,280
Democratic senators thought to
do 10 years ago. But that's

114
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:27,080
where the left wing of the
Democratic Party has moved and

115
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,280
Joe Biden has moved with them.
Senator Cotton Thank you for

116
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:36,180
joining us. Thank you all
you're welcome. Thank you.
