How Josh Hawley: Biden making excuses for midterm loss

>> Pete: NOTHING TO SEE  JUST THE NATION'S TWO TOP DEMOCRATS QUESTIONING ELECTION INTEGRITY. BIDEN IN HIS EMBARRASSING SPEECH AND PRESS CONFERENCE YESTERDAY CAST DOUBT ON WHETHER THE 2022 MIDTERM RESULTS WOULD BE LEGITIMATE IF A DIVISIVE VOTING RIGHTS LEGISLATION WASN'T PASSED. >> IF THIS ISN'T PASSED, DO YOU STILL BELIEVE THE UPCOMING ELECTION WILL BE FAIRLY CONDUCTED AND ITS RESULTS WILL BE LEGITIMATE? >> WELL, IT ALL DEPENDS ON, HUH,  WE ARE ABLE TO MAKE THE CASE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT SOME OF THIS IS BEING SET UP TO TRY TO ALTER THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION. THE INCREASE IN THE PROSPECT OF BEING  DIRECT PROPORTION OF NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THESE REFORMS PASSED. >> Pete: MAN, I CAN STILL BEAR LIVE MAKE IT CLUE THAT CLIP. IT'S ALL A POWER PLAY. HE IS TRYING TO SCARE YOU BY MAKING YOU THINK IF HIS AGENDA DOESN'T GO THROUGH, ELECTIONS WILL BE RIGGED AND AMERICA WILL BE FACING A DOOMSDAY SCENARIO. BUT THOSE BILLS WERE BLOCKED RIGHTFULLY BY THE SENATE YESTERDAY THANKS NOT JUST TO REPUBLICANS BUT TO DEMOCRATS. THAT DIDN'T STOP JOE'S NEXT IN CHARGE FROM, OF COURSE, SPEWING THE SAME EXACT RHETORIC TODAY. >> THE ISSUE IS THAT THERE ARE TWO BILLS. THE JOHN LEWIS VOTING RIGHTS ACT AND THE FREEDOM TO VOTE ACT THAT HAVE BEEN THE -- THE SOLUTION THAT HAS BEEN OFFERED TO ADDRESS THE FACT THAT AROUND OUR  STATES HAVE PUT IN PLACE LAWS THAT ARE PURPOSELY MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO VOTE. >> IF THE BILLS WERE DEBATED AND THEY DIDN'T PASS. >> IF I MAY FINISH. IF I MAY FINISH. >> BUT THE SPECIFIC  IF YOU DON'T MIND, DOES HE THINK NOW THAT THESE BILLS HAVEN'T BEEN PASSED THAT THE '22 MIDTERMS WON'T BE LEGITIMATE OR FAIR? OR FREE? >> LET'S NOT CONFLATE ISSUES. >> Pete: ARE WE REALLY SURPRISED BY ANY OF THIS? LIBERALS HAVE BEEN UNDERMINING FAITH IN OUR ELECTIONS FOR DECADES. IT'S KIND OF SOMETHING THEY DO. >> I'M VERY INTERESTED TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE ABSENTEE BALLOTS. THERE ARE TOO MANY ALLEGATIONS OF EGG REGULATORS. MY ADVICE TO AL GORE IS YOU KEEP FIGHTING. >> YOU CAN RUN THE BEST CAMPAIGN. YOU CAN EVEN BECOME THE NOMINEE, AND YOU CAN HAVE THE ELECTION STOLEN FROM YOU. >> CONCESSION MEANS TO SAY THAT THE PROCESS WAS FAIR. I AM COMPLICIT IF I SAY THAT THAT SYSTEM IS FAIR. >> THAT WAS THE GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA, SHE THINKS SHE IS. AND THAT WAS HILLARY CLINTON IN 2019 THREE YEARS LATER IT NEVER ENDS. AS FOR JOE, DON'T WORRY ABOUT HIM. HIS TEAM DID EVEN MORE DAMAGE CONTROL. >> HE ABSOLUTELY CANNOT  THAT THE 2022 ELECTIONS WOULD BE ILLEGITIMATE. THE POINT HE WAS MAKING IS THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT ASKED A NUMBER OF STATES, SEVEN OR MORE, IN FACT, TO OVERTURN THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION. NOW, OBVIOUSLY, IF THERE IS AN EFFORT TO DO  WE HAVE GOT TO FIGHT AGAINST THAT. THAT'S WHAT OUR COMMITMENT IS TO DOING. EVERYTHING YOU  PEOPLE'S RIGHTS. >> BUT THE DAMAGE IS ALREADY DONE. JOE'S TEAM CAN'T CLEAN UP THIS MESS ANYMORE. HE AND VICE PRESIDENT GIGGLES HAVE ALREADY SAID WHAT THEY REALLY BELIEVE. AND AMERICA HEARD THEM LOUD AND CLEAR. THE FIRST TIME, THE SECOND TIME AND THE THIRD TIME. JOINING ME  MISSOURI G.O.P. SENATOR JOSH HAWLEY. SENATOR, THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. AFTER ALL OF THAT, WHAT DID YOU HEAR? >> WHAT I HEARD JOE BIDEN SAID LOUD AND CLEAR WHY HE IS GOING TO LOSE IN NOVEMBER. DEMOCRATS DON'T ACCEPT ELECTIONS THEY DON'T WIN. IT HAPPENED IN 2,000, 2004, IT HAPPENED IN 2016. NOW IT'S GOING TO BE 2022. IF JOE BIDEN THOUGHT THAT HIS PARTY WAS GOING TO WIN THESE  THEN ALL WOULD BE FINE. BUT HE THINKS AND BECAUSE THE POLLS  IS HE GOING TO LOSE THEM. HIS PARTY IS GOING TO LOSE THEM, THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE, THEREFORE THEY ARE ILLEGITIMATE. IT'S DANGEROUS, IT'S WRONG, IT'S RIDICULOUS. AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT'S RIDICULOUS. AND, YET, THERE HE IS OUT THERE SAYING IT. >> Pete: ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. YET, FOR THEM 2020 TOTALLY ABOVE BOARD. BUT KAMALA SAYS THIS IS AN AMAZING CLIP. SHE -- SOMETHING SHE SAID IN ONE OF THE INTERVIEWS ABOUT WHEN SHE TALKS TO WORLD LEADERS, THEY'RE QUESTIONING OUR VOTING SYSTEM. LISTEN TO KAMALA HARRIS. >> I HAVE MET WITH PRIME MINISTERS AND PRESIDENTS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE, BOTH PARTNERS AND ALLIES OF OURS. THEY ARE ASKING WHAT IS GOING ON WITH VOTING RIGHTS IN AMERICA. THEY ARE MONITORING TO WONDER AND QUESTION WHETHER THERE IS AN EROSION OF OUR DEMOCRACY AND, THEREFORE, AN EROSION OF ONE OF THE BEST ROLE MODELS OF WHAT A DEMOCRACY DOES AND CAN DO. >> Pete: SENATOR, COULD IT BE THAT THEY ARE CALLING THE  BECAUSE KAMALA HARRIS AND JOE BIDEN KEEP SAYING AND BUILDING A STRAW MAN ABOUT THEIR OWN LEGISLATION THAT CREATES CONFUSION IN THE WORLD THAT MY GOODNESS I DON'T KNOW WHAT AMERICA CERTAIN PEOPLE ARE BLOCKED AT THE POLLS AND NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE. >> YEAH, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SURE THAT I REALLY BELIEVE THAT LITTLE STORY THE VICE PRESIDENT JUST TOLD THERE. BUT IF IT IS  I BET WORLD LEADERS DO HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS. IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. IT SURE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. SO WHO IS REALLY RUNNING THE SHOW AND AFTER THIS DISASTROUS FIRST YEAR, I MEAN, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. THIS IS WHY THEY ARE IN SUCH TROUBLE COME NOVEMBER. THE BOTTOM LINE IS, THIS PETE, OUR DEMOCRACY IS STRONG, THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE STRONG AND IN CHARGE AND THEIR VOTES ARE THE ONES THAT COUNT. THEIR VOICES ARE THE ONES THAT MATTER. TO TRY TO DELEGITIMIZE THOSE AHEAD OF TIME. TO SAY TRY TO SAY THAT WHATEVER DECISION THE AMERICAN PEOPLE COME TO IN NOVEMBER IS ILLEGITIMATE BECAUSE YOU DON'T THINK YOU ARE GOING TO LIKE THE OUTCOME OF IT, BOY, THAT IS PLAYING WITH FIRE AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE DOING AND,  THEY HAVE A HISTORY OF DOING THAT OF THINKING THEY KNOW BETTER THAN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DO. AND THAT'S JUST THE SAME SONG,  THAT WE'RE HEARING FROM THEM AGAIN. >> Pete: YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT, SENATOR. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT JOE BIDEN SAID FROM THE PODIUM. HE EFFECTIVELY SAID WE NEED TO EXPLAIN THIS IN EVEN MORE SIMPLE TERMS BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW AWESOME WE ARE. THAT SEEMS TO BE THE REFRAIN THEY ALWAYS COME UP WITH.
