>> Steve: PRESIDENT BIDEN
LAUNCHES HIS MIDTERM CAMPAIGN
EFFORTS THIS WEEK.
BUT MORE DEMOCRATS IN KEY RACES
ARE SAYING NO THANKS,
MR. PRESIDENT.
WHEN ASKED IF THEY WANT BIDEN ON
THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, WITH THEM.
SOME VULNERABLE CANDIDATES LIKE
COLORADO SENATOR MICHAEL BENNETT
HAVE NO COMMENT WHILE SENATE
HOPEFUL TIM RYAN CLAIMS THEY
WON’T BE EXTENDING AN
INVITATION.
WHY IS THAT?
LET’S BRING IN FOX NEWS
CONTRIBUTOR NEWT GINGRICH,
AUTHOR OF DEFEATING BIG
GOVERNMENT SOCIALISM.
AND HE JOINS US RIGHT NOW WITH
REACTION.
NEWT, GOOD MORNING TO YOU.
>> GOOD MORNING.
>> SO, IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY
EITHER DON’T WANT HIM TO COME OR
THEY AVOID HIM WHEN HE SHOWS UP
IN THEIR DISTRICT.
ULTIMATELY, IS IT FOR THEIR
CAMPAIGNS RIGHT NOW JOE BIDEN IS
BOX OFFICE POISON?
>> WELL, LOOK, I THINK THEY
THINK HE WEAKENS THEM.
AND I THINK THAT THEY BOTH HAVE
TWO PROBLEMS.
ONE IS YOU NEVER QUITE KNOW HOW
WELL HE WILL PERFORM AND WHETHER
IT WILL BE ONE OF THOSE
EMBARRASSING EVENTS WHERE HE
CAN’T REMEMBER WHAT STATE HE IS
IN OR WHO IS HE CAMPAIGNING FOR
OR WHATEVER.
AND THEN SECOND, IN A LOT OF
STATES, PARTICULARLY WHERE WE
HAVE SENATE RACES, THEY ARE NOT
BIDEN’S STATES.
BIDEN IN CALIFORNIA PROBABLY
WOULD BE OKAY.
BIDEN IN NEW YORK MIGHT BE OKAY.
BUT YOU START TAKING BIDEN TO
NEVADA OR TO OHIO TO, AN EXAMPLE
YOU USED OR TO PENNSYLVANIA, AND
I THINK SUDDENLY, YOU HAVE
GEORGIA, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW,
HERSCHEL WALKER WILL PROBABLY
WIN IN THE END.
WARNOCK IS SO CLOSELY TIED TO
BIDEN AND I THINK BIDEN IN
GEORGIA IS LIKE 38%.
SO HIS NATIONAL AVERAGE IS
ACTUALLY STRONGER THAN HIS
AVERAGE IN THE INDIVIDUAL STATES
THAT HAPPEN TO HAVE SENATE RACES
THIS YEAR.
>> Steve: RIGHT.
LET’S MOVE FROM THE DEMOCRAT
PARTY TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
LIZ CHENEY, WHO WAS HANDED A
STUNNING DEFEAT IN THE PRIMARY
IN THE GREAT STATE OF WYOMING,
SHE WAS ON ABC YESTERDAY AND
TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE
STATE OF YOUR REPUBLICAN PARTY.
LISTEN TO THIS.
>> LARGE PORTIONS OF OUR PARTY,
INCLUDING A THE LEADERSHIP OF
OUR PARTY.
>> BOTH AT A STATE LEVEL IN
WYOMING AS WELL AS ON A NATIONAL
LEVEL WITH THE RNC, IS VERY
SICK.
AND, YOU KNOW, WE REALLY HAVE
GOT TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT WE
ARE GOING TO BE A PARTY BASED ON
SUBSTANCE AND POLICY OR WHETHER
WE ARE GOING TO REMAIN AS SO
MANY OF OUR PARTY ARE TODAY, IN
THE GRIPS OF A DANGEROUS FORMER
PRESIDENT.
>> Steve: NEWT, SHE SAYS YOUR
PARTY IS SICK.
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT?
>>
>> I HAVE KNOWN LIZ MINNESOTA
MOST OF HER LIFE AT LEAST SINCE
SHE HAS BEEN AN ADULT.
TRUMP RAN IN MANY WAYS AS A
REPUDIATION OF THE BUSH-CHENEY
ADMINISTRATION.
BUT TO GO BACK HOME TO THE
PEOPLE THAT YOU CLAIM TO
REPRESENT TO ONLY GET 29%
SUPPORT AND THEN DECIDE THAT THE
OTHER 61 -- THEY ARE THE ONES
WHO ARE WRONG.
THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE SICK.
I THINK THAT LIZ AS HEIR GAITED
TO HERSELF THE STANDARD OF BEING
THE MORE JUDGE OF MILLIONS OF
AMERICANS AROUND 37 OR
75 MILLION AMERICANS WHO VOTED
FOR TRUMP BECAUSE THEY ARE SICK.
THEY VOTED FOR TRUMP BECAUSE
THEY DEEPLY DISLIKE THE
ESTABLISHMENT.
AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK
ABOUT TRUMP, THEY DISLIKE THE
ESTABLISHMENT EVEN MORE.
SO IT’S AMAZING TO ME THAT
NOBODY WHO IS IN THE ANTI-TRUMP
FACTION HAS STOPPED TO SAY WHAT
IS IT WE ARE DOING THAT REPELS
SO MANY AMERICANS THAT, AGAIN,
WYOMING IS A GREAT EXAMPLE THE
CHENEY NAME IS A ONE-TIME MAGIC.
NOW IT JUST DOESN’T GET BEAT
IT’S HUMILIATED.
29%.
TAKE AWAY THE DEMOCRATS SWITCHED
PARTY TO VOTE FOR HER.
SHE GOT PROBABLY ONE IN EVERY
FOUR REPUBLICANS, IT’S AMAZING.
I DON’T TAKE WHAT SHE SAYS VERY
SERIOUSLY.
>> Steve: SHE HAS KIND OF HINTED
SHE MIGHT RUN FOR PRESIDENT.
LET’S SEE WHAT SHE DOES NEXT.
