They Can Protest In A Jail Cell: Hawley Reacts To LA Riots & Democrats' 'Extended Mental Ward'

Senator Josh Hawley joins us now. All right, Senator, Tulsi Gabbard just said that these riots in LA and all over the country are orchestrated. Can you tell us anything about that? Yeah, I think that's absolutely right, Jesse. These aren't spontaneous at all. They're about as authentic as AstroTurf. They are bought and paid for flash mobs. And I want to know who's doing the buying and the paying. That's why today I've launched an investigation. I've sent multiple investigative demands today to various groups out on social media claiming they are paying for this, they are organizing it, they are financing it. We've all seen the videos of vans driving up, handing out gas masks right before somebody blows up a car. It's time we found out where's the money coming from? Who's really behind this? I think the American people deserve answers. When they're saying, don't believe what you see on TV and there's no violence at all, doesn't that kind of remind you of the Biden coverup? Oh, a hundred percent. It's the same thing. Don't believe your lying eyes. Meanwhile, they're out there blowing up cars, they're assaulting cops, they're rushing federal buildings, they're burning down shops. It's all on television and we can see it with our own eyes. I'm just glad Trump isn't letting the city burn. I mean, Gavin Newsom would allow his state to burn for the second time in a year. And the worst part is somebody is paying for all of this and they're trying to spread it, Jesse, just like you reported. They're trying to spread it across the country to Chicago, to St. Louis, to Seattle, New York, everywhere. We got to figure out who is behind this. And by the way, why is the Democrat party now basically an extended mental ward? I mean, what has happened to these people? They're nuts. You know, you notice that CNN never even interviews anybody at the riot. We have clips of them and you can see why CNN doesn't want to talk to them, because they look insane. Your colleagues in the Senate, do they support these people? Do they think this is good politically for the Democrat party? Well, that's what they're acting like. I mean, they're out there saying all peaceful protests, it's all peaceful. And by the way, this is Donald Trump's fault. I'm like, really? Donald Trump's fault? Gee, I missed it when Donald Trump went and blew up a car on highway 101. I didn't see him when he was assaulting cops. What I saw was a bunch of lunatics who are waving the Mexican flag and other flags while they burned our own. And by the way, Jesse, we ought to penalize people who burn the American flag while they're committing a crime. If you do that, you ought to have your prison sentence doubled. It's time to get serious with these people. It's a law and order time in America. No more of this nonsense. So it's like an extra, what, two years if you burn a flag in the commission of a felony? Absolutely. That's what I would do. If you want to go burn a flag while you're up there rioting, while you're assaulting cops, while you're blowing up cars, yeah, fine. Go right ahead. Spend double the amount of time in prison. That flag means something to Americans. If you think that you can just burn it and get away with it, it's time that we disabuse them of that notion. The other thing I'd say, Jesse, is if these protesters want to have a place to protest, how about a nice jail cell? And right after that, how about a one-way ticket back to the country where they came from, never to see the United States again? All right. Good to speak with you, Senator. Thank you so much. Thank you.
