Newt Gingrich on Hannity | June 5, 2023


NEWT:

Well, I mean, first of all, if you are the President of the United States and your staff and you spend trillions of dollars, why would you go out and make an enemy when who knows what he can do to help you with regulations, with contracts, with a variety of things. There is a huge intimidation, particularly inside your own party. Jimmy Carter after all beat Teddy Kennedy inside the democratic party. Gerald Ford beat Ronald Reagan. It is very tough inside the party. The problem for Biden is that week by week he looks like he is less there. You can’t be president of the United States four hours a day. It is not possible. What protects him in part is Kamala Harris. Nobody in their right mind is gonna suggest that she would be a better president than Biden because four hours a day of Biden is better than three minutes of Kamala Harris. It is just impossible.

NEWT:

I think that’s true for Whitmer in Michigan I think it is true for the new governor of Pennsylvania. There are a lot of people beginning to look and think, you know, Biden literally — I can’t imagine how he can campaign in 2024. I think at some point this will all catch up with him. Robert Kennedy Junior may be a much bigger threat. The American people, when they are as unhappy as they are with Biden and the numbers are devastating, they find a way to express themselves. If he is down there in the 30s or below, somehow they will find somebody, even if they have to write them in. In Palo Brazil one year a rhinoceros won a nomination as mayor as a show of disgust. If I was the Biden team, I would be worried about the general mood building, and the fact frankly that none of his policies work. They don’t work on the border, they don’t work on the economy, they don’t work on crime. They are not working on foreign policy. I think that is a huge burden for somebody to carry no matter what their age is.

NEWT:

First of all, I was very honored to have you recently interview me for a podcast so at Newt’s World.

NEWT:

Thank you for doing that. First of all indicting Donald Trump at a moment when we know more and more and more about just how corrupt the Bidens are and the Biden team is, is simply going to increase the anger of the millions of Americans who already believe that the Durham Report is right, the FBI was corrupted, the intelligence community was corrupted that the current attorney general is corrupt and certainly the current secretary of state who is getting a lot of money from the University of Pennsylvania probably from the Chinese. We don’t know because it is all secret. All of this is going to do is just strengthened the notion to be against Donald Trump in the Republican primary is to help the left. One of the things which has propped up the Trump campaign is the choice isn’t Trump versus one of the Republican. It is Trump validating all of these people doing terrible things to America. I think he will skate through it.

NEWT:

First of all, if you point out to people that in Washington, D.C. Donald Trump got 5% of the vote. Now if 19 out of every 20 people was against you, how can he possibly have an honest trial in front of a jury of his peers? This is exactly what the American revolution was all about. This is the corrupt use of the power of government to rig the game and in this case against one particular individual, but let’s be honest. They have gone after virtually everybody who is for Trump. The effort by the FBI and the justice department to intimidate, harass and attack people who supported Donald Trump is stunning. We have seen nothing like it in American history except for a very, very brief period under Woodrow Wilson that was condemned as the, quote, red scare. This is a despicable and dangerous misuse of the government and the power of the government to go after somebody who after all is the primary political opponent. You see this in Venezuela. You see this in Zimbabwe, and you see this in Cuba. To see this in America, I think it condemns everybody who is doing it basically to themselves be at risk. I think a lot of them are going to end up be indicted. Rec — remember, John Mitchell was the only one to go to jail for obstruction of justice and the current attorney general is close to that same problem and the current director of the FBI is equally close.
