Cams, so there probably is video Brian all right, two minutes after the hour lets bring in Newt Gingrich Fox NEWS, contributor and house speaker. Of course, Newt lets bring you to. Only a small percentage is going to infrastructure, they believe Democrats. They have an advantage. They think the Republican and every at a Republicans are not their lawmakers find this popular. Are they right? They said there are internal democratic polls reveal that well look. They are right as long as nobody knows whats in the bill, its a lot like hr, one, the crooked, its a lot like hr, one, the crooked politician act, which is vaguely popular until you explain whats in the bill. Seventy five to eighty percent disapproval same thing here when people realize how little of this bill goes to general written infrastructure, roads, ports, bridges and how much of the bill is just more
pork for the democratic machine. They are in a desperate race to prop up every public employee union prop up every blue state. You know, New York is now paying fifteen thousand dollars to you. Will legal immigrants, Brian yep per person, New York, has to get the money somewhere? Why dont? We call it infrastructure thats the kind of thing thats going on Steve sure. In fact, we have a couple members of the presidents cabinet doing just that they are calling it infrastructure, even though its not really all infrastructure watch. I know here in Washington folks are getting into this semantic debate. Look. I very much believe that all of these things are infrastructure, because infrastructure is the foundation that allows us to go about our lives. What is infrastructure historically its been? What makes the economy move? What is it that we all need to ensure that we, as citizens are productive, weigh dont want to use past definitions of infrastructure when we are moving into the future,
Steve yeah Newt? Why use the past definition of infrastructure when were looking into the future Heres the thing the Covid bill, two dollars trillion that wasnt all covid money? Obviously only a tiny little bit actually went to evangelical EV actually went to evangelical ev. Why not Callevangelical dot vaccinat? Look, I think every American should demand they get at least as much money as illegal immigrants in New York. You want to know why people are coming to the border. Brian. Sixteen thousand folks in Central America are learning get to New York and Cuomo wants to give you fifteen thousand dollars. Well, why not? That Buttigieg called Semantic is whether words have meaning. Of course, you now have on the left. The Oregon Department of Education says we shouldnt
really use numbers in mathematics because numbers give you a hard answer and thats an example of white primacy. So why dont we have a mathematics of touchy, feely, well, thats what you get with the Biden administration. This is Alice, is in wonderland. It really means what I say: it means because I stead means it dont. You really trust me and its nonsense. The result is going to be a disaster for the country with are, I think, no ability to compete successfully with China with a Biden, administrations approach Ainsley. They are doing the same thing with bipartisan. They are trying to spin it and redefine that as well. You have Rahm Emanuel and he said its about how many republican voters or mayors or governors can I get support, get to support. My staff and Washington is slow to catch up to the Biden, definition, Anita Dunn, Senior Biden, adviser she says. If you looked at bipartisan in the dictionary, I think it would say, support from Republicans and Democrats, it doesnt say the Republicans have to be in Congress.
Your reaction right well, my reaction. My reaction is, first of all, if you are going to spend a couple trillion dollars and you cant find somebody who is for it, you better redesign the bill. I mean this is absurd. Secondly, they have to keep redefining words, just as they have with the state of Georgia. If they tell the truth, they are going to lose this administration and its allies will consistently use language. That makes no sense in order to win arguments where they dont have the facts on their side. Brian move on typically congratulation because its going so well for the administration thought it would be a great idea to name the vice president. I dont think they checked with her. She made one call, did Vice President Harris thats, the President of Mexico and went to Chicago. She has no plans to visit the border or the triangle countries in the future. We now have nineteen thousand unoccupied unaccompanied minors. Last month that came across,
we have. We are expected to have thirty five thousand by June, already paying sixty million a week for the solo kids that were trying to sustain right now with fifty three thousand family units came to our country in March. All illegally, their whole plan is build more facilities. They have no way to stop it. Look at the policies Newt, as you weigh in here at home. Look at the policies that Joe Biden has reversed in success. Instead of all out, failure preserve Daca, take a total pause in deportation when he stopped building the wall. When he got rid of the remain in Mexico, when he said every unaccompanied minor gets to stay. What does he think would happen? What is your reaction to what we are seeing right now? Well, let me offer you a thought I was trained originally as a historian. If you look at a piece of history, sometimes the obvious is accurate. They wanted Harris to be in
charge of the border because they knew she wouldnt do anything. This is why they refuse to call a crisis. They want the border to be open, go back and look during the presidential primary debate. They all are in fair of open borders. They are all in favor of eliminating ice. They are all in favor of eliminating any threat to sanctuary cities. So from their perspective, the next ten or fifteen thousand people you know are good because of further increases. The total number of illegal immigrants in the United States, which is what they want. You know, I think somebody said that Biden has invented a whole new policy of grab and bust rather than grab and release Brian. I dont think its working, though I dont think its working. This is embarrassing, its overwhelming the whole agenda but, of course, its working. What? If your goal was to have the maximum number of illegal people in the United States? How would you do better than Biden Steve right, exactly perhaps thats? Why theyre not
calling it a crisis because its working, exactly as that, is planned being exactly thats? Why they appointed Kamala Harris because they knew she would do nothing Steve? Well, she was the attorney general for the Sanctuary state Brian. I think she looks terrible in this Steve Steph. You are getting exactly what she did there: it they define infrastructure, they redefine partisanship, they redefine crisis, which is just going to get worse according to the governor down there, because they have undone so much that was working watch here is Greg Abbott. This problem will continue to get worse because the policies that have been adopted by the Biden Administration, what the president could do is to immediately put back in place the remain in Mexico protocols that were established in the prior administration. He could continue to build the wall along the border in South Texas. He could send a stronger
message. These people should not be coming here. The Biden administration was simply unprepared to deal with the massive inflow that were coming in, which is why they have so haphazardly, responded to it Steve. You know one other one. I was just thinking about as the governor was talking. They have redefined kids in cages to a challenge on the southern border, Newt exactly I was reminded. I once asked the chinese ambassador to the United States about concentration camps in western China with the Uyghurs, and he looked at me without breaking a smile, and he said oh dont, think of them as concentration camps, think of them as boarding schools, to help people learn to be modern. Now somebody who can talk about a concentration camp as a boarding school can say anything a whole new racism which, whether its reparations its what theyre teaching in school its the way they want to set up all sorts of systems. This is the new racism and how do they cover it up?
They yell Jim, Crow and point at Georgia when in fact they are the new racists, and so I think what you are going to feigned is on area after area. They are so radical that they have to use language that does not accurately describe what theyre doing, because the people, if people und they would go nuts Ainsley, you are have Georgia. You understand whats happening in that state. Here is Congressman Jim Clyburn Democrat from South Carolina talking about whats happening in Georgia. I would say to everybody: come on just look at the history and its clear whats on anybodys, mind when you say: okay, we are going to deny voting places. We are going to get rid of drop box, the we know we are going to create long lines so now lets make it a crime. If you bring somebody a bottle of water, while they are standing in those long lines, its not what they intend its, what the result is,
so they can say anything they want to say about it, just look through it and look throughout history, and you will know that what is taking place today is the new Jim Crow. Just that simple Ainsley, just spreading information, thats false right, Newt, two things here: first of all, moving the all star game from Georgia to Colorado, moves it from a state that has eighty three thousand people working in black owned businesses to a state that has eight thousand people that are working in black owned businesses. So, in a way, the all star decision is a very anti black decision in terms of the economic impact on small business owners. Second, what Clyburn just said with all due respect is totally false: Brian Yep Newt Newt. This whole thing President Biden set up because of Stacey Abrams Total misinformation. Obviously, if you are thirsty in Georgia in August, you can get water, you get it from the election poll workers.
You dont, get it from a campaign now thats. What the whole argument is. Should a campaign be allowed to bring you some bourbon, maybe a little beer, some white wine? No, the ground rules are very simple within a certain distance of the poll. You can get something to drink from the poll worker, but you cant get it from one of the campaigns Steve right. I think this is totally rational position, which has been deliberately lied about because they know it sounds so horrifying. Its totally not true and tolls tells you about the collapse of honesty in the Democratic Party that they have to rely on this kind of a false charge to even be in the argument. Brian brain. They legislated in drop boxes for the first time ever it was a pandemic aberration. They said. Okay, we will put one in the county for the bigger counties more than one. They want to be able to control the drop boxes, but not eliminate the drop boxes. They said we are going to forget
signature, I dot d, but we wants you to have I dot d. If you are going to get a no excuse ballot, thats, not Jim Crow, such an insult to hear that well, look Heres! The choice, h, dot r one, which is the corrupt politicians act, would eliminate the identity of who is voting. Ninety percent of the american people, thats Democrats, Republicans, African Americans, Latinos Asian Americans native Americans, ninety percent believe elections should be limited to american citizens. Now under HR 1, you couldnt possibly do that. I think its a real test of the democratic senators, whether they vote with the american people or they vote with a machine in Washington, Brian yeah, if you say its Jim Crow or my bill, going to a lot of people on their bill thats, why? You inaccurately describe the bills in all these states. Forty seven states that made these moves. Good luck, baseball! You will have three states to play in when you are all said and done.
