Newt Gingrich joins ‘Fox & Friends’ to discuss Biden’s infrastructure plan, the border surge and the Georgia voting law.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
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.
