>> I’M ALSO SAYING TO
CONGRESS -- SENDING TO CONGRESS
A COMPREHENSIVE PACKAGE THAT
WILL ENHANCE OUR UNDERLYING
EFFORT TO ACCOMMODATE THE
RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS AND MAKE SURE
WE TAKE THEIR ILL-BEGOTTEN
GAINS.
WE’RE GOING TO ACCOMMODATE THEM.
WE’RE GOING TO SEIZE THEIR
YACHTS, LUXURY HOMES AND OTHER
ILL-BEGOTTEN GAINS OF PUTIN’S --
YEAH.
KLEPTOCRACY.
THE GUYS WHO ARE THE
KLEPTOCRACY.
[LAUGHTER]
BUT THESE ARE BAD GUYS.
MARIA: WELL, THAT WAS PRESIDENT
BIDEN WEEK ONCE AGAIN APPEARING
CONFUSED AND NOT IN CONTROL,
SPARKING MORE WORRIES ABOUT HIS
CAPACITY TO LEAD AS THE
PRESIDENT’S POLL NUMBERS
CONTINUE TO PLUMMET.
JOINING ME RIGHT NOW TO ASSESS
THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE
UPCOMING MIDTERM ELECTIONS IS
FORMER HOUSE SPEAKER NEWT
GINGRICH.
HE IS ALSO A FOX NEWS
CONTRIBUTOR, OF COURSE.
NEWT, GOOD TO SEE YOU.
THANKS VERY MUCH.
GIVE US YOUR REACTION TO THE
PRESIDENT THIS WEEK AS WE LOOK
AT THE POLL NUMBERS WHICH
CONTINUE TO FALL FOR PRESIDENT
BIDEN.
>> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, AS A
CITIZEN, ALL OF US HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT HAVING A COMMANDER IN
CHIEF WHO AT A MINIMUM SEEMS TO
BE CONFUSED A LOTT AND AT A
MAXIMUM MAY WELL HAVE A SERIOUS
COGNITIVE PROBLEM.
I MEAN, A COMMANDER IN CHIEF IN
A DANGEROUS WORLD, THAT SHOULD
BOTHER ALL OF US WAY BEYOND
POLITICS.
AND IT’S CLEARLY OBVIOUS EVERY
SINGLE WEEK WITH PRESIDENT
BIDEN.
I THINK, SECOND, HE HAS A DUAL
PROBLEM.
HE HAS A PERFORMANCE PROBLEM.
GO TO THE GAS PUMP, GO TO THE
GROCERY STORE, TALK TO AVERAGE
AMERICANS, THEY FEEL EVERY DAY
THE FAILURE OF GOVERNMENT TO
PERFORM.
AND HE HAS A POLICY PROBLEM
WHICH ELON MUSK CAPTURED
PERFECTLY THIS WEEK THAT THEY’VE
NOW MOVED SO FAR TO THE LEFT.
THEY’RE DOING THINGS THAT ARE SO
NUTTY THAT PEOPLE BOTH REJEKYLL
HOW THEY’RE PERFORMING BUT ALSO
REJECT WHAT THEY BELIEVE.
CREATING A GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP
OFFICE IS CRAZY.
MARIA: YEAH.
>> OPENING THE BORDER TOTALLY IS
CRAZY.
YOU JUST GO THROUGH ITEM AFTER
ITEM LIKE THAT, AND YOU HAVE TO
THINK THIS IS A PARTY AND A
PRESIDENT THAT HAVE TOTALLY LOST
THEIR WAY.
MARIA: YEAH.
YOU MENTIONED ELON MUSK’S TWEET.
LET’S SHOW THAT.
THIS IS A STICK FIGURE POLITICAL
CHART.
>> YOU JUST REASONED, AND YOU
GOT A KICK OUT OF THIS.
WHY?
EXPLAIN THIS STICK FIGURE CHART
AND WHAT YOU THINK IT TELLS US.
>> WELL, I THINK IT’S OOH
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF ELON MUSK
BEING UNBELIEVABLY SMARTER THAN
ALMOST EVERYBODY ELSE.
HE TOOK EVERYTHING POLLSTERS AND
SOCIAL ANALYSTS HAVE BEEN SAYING
AND POLITICAL ANALYSTS AND AND
PUT IT INTO A VERY SIMPLE
TWEETS, A COUPLE SIMPLE STICK
FIGURES.
BACK THIS 2008 HE WAS SORT OF A
LIBERAL, AND THE LIBERALS WERE
FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE CENTER.
THEN IN 2012 HE WAS SORT OF IN
THE CENTER, AND THE LIBERALS
WERE GOING TO THE LEFT.
NOW TODAY THE HE FINDS HIMSELF
TO THE RIGHT OF CENTER, AND HE
FINDS THE LIBERALS HAVE GONE
CRAZY, THEY’RE SO FAR TO THE
LEFT.
AND MEANWHILE THE CONSERVATIVES
IN HIS STICK FIGURES ARE ABOUT
WHERE THEY’VE ALWAYS BEEN IN THE
RECORD OF REAGAN AND WHAT WE DID
AND TRUMP.
SO I THOUGHT HE CAPTURED IN THAT
ONE DOCUMENTING THE WHOLE POLICY
PROBLEM.
NOW, AS I SAID, THERE’S A
PERFORMANCE FAILURE AND THERE’S
A POLICY FAILURE.
AND I THOUGHT MUSK DID A GREAT
JOB, IT’S SORT OF IRONIC THAT HE
PUT THAT TOGETHER --
MARIA: YEAH.
>> AND I THINK THE AVERAGE
AMERICAN CAN LOOK AT THAT AND
SAY WHERE ARE YOU ON THIS
CONTINUUM?
DO YOU LIKE GOVERNMENT
CENSORSHIP?
MARIA: YEAH.
>> YOU LIKE AN OPEN BORDER?
YOU LIKE LETTING MURDERERS BACK
OUT ON THE STREET?
THEN YOU MUST BE A DEMOCRAT.
AND I THINK THAT’S SORT OF WHAT
WHAT MUSK CAPTURED.
MARIA: YEAH.
BUT, NEWT, LAYEREDDED ALL ON TOP
OF THAT ASIDE FROM THE BAD
POLICY DECISIONS RESULTING MANY
TERRIBLE OUTCOMES WHICH IS WHAT
WE’RE SEEING, WE ARE LOOKING AT
PERHAPS THE POTENTIAL OF THE
BEGINNING OF A RECESSION.
WE GOT THAT GDP OUT LAST WEEK, A
CONTRACTION IN THE ECONOMY.
YOU ALSO HAVE CORRUPTION IN
PLAIN SIGHT.
AND I WANT TO GET YOUR TAKE ON
THAT.
AND YOU MENTIONED THE UNIVERSITY
OF PENNSYLVANIA’S SECRET CHINESE
MONEY.
YOU THINK THAT’S AN EVEN BIGGER
STORY THAN THE CORRUPTION OF
WHAT’S ON HUNTER’S LAPTOP,
RIGHT?
WALK US THROUGH WHAT YOU MEAN.
>> WELL, THE UNIVERSITY OF
PENNSYLVANIA, THAT WE KNOW OF,
HAS GOTTEN AT LEAST $67 MILLION
FROM CHINESE SOURCES, ANONYMOUS
SOURCES.
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
REFUSED TO TURN OVER INFORMATION
TO THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IN THE
LAST YEAR OF THE TRUMP
PRESIDENCY, ONE OF THE MAJOR
JOBS OF CONGRESS SHOULD BE TO
SUBPOENA THE UNIVERSITY OF
PENNSYLVANIA’S RECORDS.
THEY CREATED THE PENN BIDEN
CENTER FOR PUBLIC POLICY.
I DON’T KNOW HOW MANY
ADMINISTRATION STAFF WHO ARE
BEING PAID FROM THAT CENTER, BUT
THEY WERE BEING PAID WITH
CHINESE MONEY.
AND YOU HAVE ANONYMOUS CHINESE
DONORS, THE LARGEST OF WHICH WAS
$14.5 MILLION.
SO YOU TAKE EVERYTHING THAT
HUNTER BIDEN EVER DID, AND THEN
YOU LOOK AT WHAT JOE BIDEN WAS
DOING.
THE STORY HERE IS NOT HUNTER
BIDEN.
THE STORY HERE IS THE HEAD OF
THE FAMILY JUST LIKE A MAFIA
FAMILY, THE HEAD OF THE
FAMILY -- WHO, BY THE WAY, IF
YOU GO BACK AND PULL UP WHAT HE
SAID IN VARIOUS CAMPAIGN EVENTS,
I KNEW NOTHING, I NEVER
DISCUSSED MY SON’S BUSINESS.
WELL, WE NOW KNOW HE WROTE AN
$800,000 CHECK FOR HIS SON’S
LEGAL EXPENSES IN BUSINESS.
THIS WASN’T CRIMINAL, THIS WAS
INCLUDING CHINESE BUSINESSES.
HE WANTS US TO BELIEVE HE WROTE
AN $800,000 CHECK AND DIDN’T
DISCUSS HIS SON’S BUSINESS? IF
HE WANTS US TO BELIEVE HE FLEW
FOR 17 HOURS TO CHINA AND THEY
DIDN’T DISCUSS HIS SON’S
BUSINESS?
THE TRUTH IS JOE BIDEN IS A
LIAR.
THIS IS A CORRUPT FAMILY
OCCUPYING THE WHITE HOUSE, AND
WE NEED TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF
IT.
AND I BELIEVE THE UNIVERSITY OF
PENNSYLVANIA’S $67 MILLION FROM
CHINA IS A LOT BIGGER SCANDAL
THAN HUNTER BIDEN OOH’S
LAPTOP -- BIDEN’S LAPTOP, AS BIG
A SCANDAL, FRANKLY, AS THE
LAPTOP IS.
MARIA: YEAH.
REAL QUICKLY BEFORE YOU GO,
NEWT, IS THIS RESONATING ON THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE?
WE HAVE SOME POLLS HERE IN TERMS
OF THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS.
I WANT TO GET YOUR TAKE ON THE
REPUBLICANS.
OBVIOUSLY, THE DEMOCRATS ARE
ATTACKING KEN McCARTHY. --
KEVIN McCARTHY.
IS WILL ANY DIVISION WITHIN THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY?
WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THAT, AND
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE GOP HAS
THE ADVANTAGE BOTH ON THE HOUSE
AND THE SENATE SIDE COME
NOVEMBER IN -- NOVEMBER?
>> I THINK WE’LL PICK UP BETWEEN
25-70 SEATS IN THE HOUSE,
PROBABLY PICK UP ABOUT 4 STREETS
SENATE.
I THINK PEOPLE LIKE HERSCHEL
WALKER ARE GOING TO DO VERY,
VERY WELL.
IN ADDITION, I WOULD SAY IF
YOU’RE IN A DISTRICT THAT BIDEN
CARRIED BY LESS THAN 15 OR 20
POINTS, YOU’RE IN GREAT DANGER
AS A DEMOCRAT.
MARIA: YEAH.
>> AND IF THE TSUNAMI IS BIG
ENOUGH, WE BEAT ROSS KOUSKY IN
DOWNTOWN CHICAGO, EVERYBODY
THOUGHT THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE.
ONCE THESE THINGS START, WE ARE
NOW STRONGER -- REPUBLICANS --
WITH HISPANICS THAN WE ARE WITH
WHY NOTES, AND KEVIN McCARTHY
