You guys have seen the video of Josh Hawley running,
we'll show it to you again because it's fun in a minute.
But they showed it in the January 6th hearings last night.
So of course I've been wondering how is he gonna respond cuz he can't let that sit.
I mean it's just awful.
He looks like a clown cuz in the beginning he's putting up the big strong
fist to the protest, the rioters like he's walking past them.
And later when he realizes his own life is in danger,
like running through the halls, right?
So, today he's in Tampa for a TP USA event.
So, he's gonna try to like man his way out of it.
I mean, I would run.
Maybe I was running like a coward, but no, no way.
So, I'm curious what the excuse is gonna be and how he's gonna frame it.
Now, we have our answer, let's watch.
>> I objected on January 6th last year to the state of Pennsylvania.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And I just want to say to all of those
liberals out there in the liberal media just in case you haven't
gotten the message yet, I do not regret it and I am not backing down.
I'm not gonna apologize, I'm not gonna cower, I'm not gonna run from you.
I'm not gonna bend the knee, here, I am standing in front of you and I am unbowed.
I am unrepentant and I'm unafraid.
And if I can do it, you can do it.
>> No, no, wait a minute, let's be clear.
You are not running from liberals, you're running from conservatives, so
you see the misdirection, they always do it.
Now, you're afraid your own supporters were going to murder you.
Remember Trump's rioters, had with the big giant Trump flags,
the people who actually did kill folks, right?
That broke into the building.
The reason why they were all running including Josh Hawley,
in fact Josh Hawley was like sprinting past the other senators, right?
Is because he thought, my God, Maga guys are gonna kill me.
So, and the crowd is so easy cuz it's a TP USA.
They combined IQ in that room is like 90, okay?
So, they're like, he's like I will not run from liberals.
Yeah, yeah, it was when he was running from liberals, was he, okay?
[LAUGH] No, no he wasn't.
And so, maybe to be fair to Josh Hawley, maybe he's saying,
I will not run from the left, I'll run from you guys.
So you guys are really scary, [LAUGH].
>> You can do it to.
This is that promotion in that push in that indoctrination.
Again, this is the young folks, right?
TP USA is when they're trying to preach to the high school costumes,
they have to try and set this agenda for
that next generation cuz they know they're losing out on these folks.
So, when you have something embarrassing like this happen or
even when you see younger folks that are paying attention to these hearings and
pay attention to seeing what's happening, Josh Hawley is all over social media.
You think these folks on social media seeing him running and
afraid after he throws up a white power fist to his folks out there that
are about to run into the building as well, do you think they don't know that?
So, he thinks if we can say this enough times where I can flip this on its head,
maybe they'll believe it because they want to, as long as they wanna believe it.
As long as I give them a reason to, maybe enough of them will buy it.
But it's, I honestly don't think it's gonna work.
I remember when yesterday when they ran this,
I said every time Josh Hawley sticks his head up if it's seven September when Cenk
finally gets his doctor's appointment or by midterms.
Every time he says anything, but like Josh, what's your response to what
happened back in July when they point out that you were running from interactions
right after promoting and pushing them and inciting them further?
What do you think about that?
Why were you running?
Who were you running from?
Where were you going?
What did you think was gonna happen to you?
He shouldn't be able to stick his head out in any front,
any cameras unless he's on Tucker Carlson show like he was last night.
He's not gonna ask him any of that until he finally says, yeah,
I was scared of what they were gonna do to me.
But he won't instead, they'll say he's a badass.
>> It's funny to me that whenever conservatives are getting roasted in
the press, they always end up on News Max or on a stage.
For TP USA Josh Hawley ends up running down to Florida and
[INAUDIBLE] his legs tired.
And then he makes this comment to the crowd.
I'm not running from them and I bet the crowd doesn't even understand the irony of
him using the word running there because so many members of the right have been
discouraged from even watching the hearing.
So, they might just think that what was covered in the hearings was damning for
holly in the context of being found guilty of inciting an insurrection.
But they might have no idea that he was running from the insurrectionist.
Thankfully, it's going a little bit viral online, but
we know that algorithms keep people in their echo chambers.
Many members of the right may have no idea that he was even running from
the insurrectionists.
>> Yeah. So normally, I would agree with you and
normally I would say, hey, him flipping, it is gonna totally work.
I mean, he's now famous for running and like you guys,
by the way, there's probably what 90% of people known for.
Remember these folks have almost no name recognition.
We're knee deep in politics, but
most people don't know who the hell Josh Hawley is.
In fact, they did a poll of Republicans who might run for president.
Forget if he came in at 0% or 1%.
But I was shocked at how low it was, right?
So, he's famous for running and he says I will not run.
And the right wing audiences normally like, the opposite of truth.
We love it.
Remember there at a TPUSA event.
And Charlie Kirk, who is the head of a TP it sounds funny every time.
Tt's like, the liberals are trying to indoctrinate your children.
So that is why we are going to the young and indoctrinating them first.
Wait, what?
So normally, I would agree with you Jessica that they don't tolerate
nonsensical stuff, they love it, right?
If you tell them the opposite of the truth,
the Republican voters can't get it out of it.
But in this case, he's screwed because like,
especially young conservatives, they love memes.
They love stuff that's funny online.
So, he's screwed up because this is funny.
So, we're gonna show you the video.
We can't do it with music, but
you could picture chariots of fire, which people have put into.
My favorite was the Benny Hill song.
Okay, so let's watch Josh Hawley and picture the memes in your mind.
>> Senator Josh Hawley also had to flee.
Earlier that afternoon before the joint session started,
he walked across the east front of the capitol.
As you can see in this photo, he raised his fist in solidarity with
the protesters already amassing at the security gates.
We spoke with the capitol police officer who was out there at the time.
She told us that Senator Hawley's gesture riled up the crowd.
Later that day, Senator Hawley fled
after those protesters he helped to rile up, storm the capitol.
See for yourself.
>> [LAUGH] My favorite part is the dude he runs past when he's going down the stairs.
Guys like whoa, you're going fast.
Okay.
You know what you guys should do?
Take the video of him saying I will not run and
put it on top of him running, [LAUGH] okay?
And that's gonna be fun.
>> It just broke.
>> The story just broke.
So otherwise we would have done it for you.
>> Easy thoughts any Democrat, anybody who's running anything, anybody,
any position of power, get your staff to put this together and
point out every time you have a voice, you have a platform.
Talk about it every time you talk about Josh Hawley, just point out he's a runner.
>> Yeah.
Put the I will not run to the run video and add a little bit of Benny Hill.
[LAUGH] >> There you go.
Maiming is good for for pushing your campaign.
Look at John Fetterman.
>> Exactly what I was gonna say.
I wrote down Fetterman.
That's why like right now Fetterman and Oz are around tied according to the polling,
I'm telling right now, Fetterman is gonna win
by about 10 points cuz he's maiming the living crap out of Dr. Oz.
And so, the traditional journalists will tell you, that doesn't matter.
It's just people online.
It's not gonna matter, okay?
I'm gonna tell you right now, it definitely matters.
Because if you make the Republicans look weak and silly,
their own side value strength so much, it actually takes away their energy and
makes them vote for them less, makes them turn out less.
And it's what Democrats have not understood until Fetterman.
So yes Jr is right, do it to Hawley.
You might win in Missouri.
