Reaction from former House Speaker and Fox News contributor Newt Gingrich on 'Hannity'
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
I fear this radical left wing
agenda its only going to get
worse.
We will monitor it every day and
night
Fox contributor of Speaker of Th
House Newt Gingrich
lets. First get your reaction
to well TED Cruz
TED Cruz, as a patriot,
TED Cruz dared to ask for a ten
day audit.
They werent going to win that
battle, but he explained why he
thought it was important for the
eighty three percent republicans that think that
the integrity of the election
was in question.
Thats, not my poll
either you are an enemy or
citicseditious caucus.
Well, I think you are seeing
the hysteria of the Biden
system
because its not really about
Biden himself,
its his entire team around him
who are radicals who believe
that they could exterminate the
Republicans.
That would be one way to get the
unity.
As a columnist wrote this
morning. If Biden really wanted
unity, he would start by
lynching. Vice President Pence,
that gives you a sense of the
ferocity and the anger and the
hatred that underlies the modern
left.
I think that Senator Cruz showed
tremendous courage
he always has.
He is a very smart, very
courageous guy who stood for
what he believed in,
and I was delighted the other
day to see. Mitt Romney actually
come to the defense of both
Senator Cruz and Hawley and say:
look. They are perfectly allowed
to have their own views and
there should be no act of
retribution against them in the
Senate. Much like
Senator Feinstein.
There is going to be a real
reaction to the idea that you
should start having a Lynch mob
going around on the Senate floor
seeking out the people it wants
to destroy.
You know im
watching all of this unfold and
im watching the country and im
concerned
you see, would big tech did
before the election.
You see what the media does to
ninety nine percent of them every day.
You see this whole demonization
and cancel culture is getting
wildly out of control, followed
up by a snap impeachment
in five minutes by federal
investigators, who are more
convinced than ever that what
they witnessed was planned and
plotted and schemed, and they
missed the signs and warnings of
signs that they shouldnt have
missed.
I mean look, you should be
worried about the country,
you know one. President Biden in
his inaugural starts talking
about extremism and then to not
mention Antifa. I actually
thought this morning that
Seattle and Portland and Denver
may have had their feelings hurt
because they think they have
earned the right to be
considered terrorists, extremist
groups, and if you notice now
that Trump is gone, we suddenly
didnt get peace.
They dont regard him as
legitimate.
I think that people should be
worried about America.
We are under greater stress
right now, the end any time since
the precivil war period and the
distress is very real
and you saw it.
You know I just did a
newsletter regarding the
extension between the Biden
Inaugural and the Biden
Inauguration Day, because during
the inauguration day he
methodically went out and he
began hunting down and
destroying the Trump legacy. But
during the inaugural he was this
nice president unity bring us
all together, which literally
within two hours he destroyed by
his own activities.
I hope that anybody who cares
about America should be worried.
This is not an irrational thing.
Yeah.
You know Bill Clinton. Well, you were his speaker during that
you were his speaker during that
time and became unknown
Biden. Now the entire
democratic party has gone so far.
Radical socialist left, I dont
think Biden is capable of
standing up to his radical base.
Do you
yeah? I mean, I think you
have to think in terms of the
Biden Machine, not Biden,
personally
Biden didnt personally sit down
and draft seventeen executive orders,
but radicals on his staff did
and in some ways I thought the
most telling was their decision.
Think about this
on the very day he was sworn in
as president, he signed an
executive order to destroy the
one thousand seven hundred and seventy six commissioner
and all of our viewers tonight
ought to ask themselves what is
it about this one thousand seven hundred and seventy six commissioner,
that made it such a big deal.
That Biden went out of his way
to destroy it on his first day
of office.
The answer is, it is a
pro american pro history
history, which threatens the very
essence of the modern left and
all of their one thousand six hundred and nineteen project and
all of their lies.
So what you have is a president
smiling present.
I thought it was a great speech.
I thought it had all the right
tone,
but I also know that, if lies in
Eisenhower had given that
speech, he would have meant it.
There are methodically trying to
destroy conservativism
one last question.
It seems my source is telling me
tonight that the appetite on
both the democratic side and
republican side on this trial in
the Senate number one
democratic senators feel it is
going to end up blowing up in
their faces.
They are afraid of it.
That would mean they are going
to go along with a snap
impeachment and a rush to
judgment in the house and the
belief among Republicans, that we
cant validate that process
and by the way what they are
trying to do is unconstitutional
and we wont be a part of that
either
thoughts.
Let me just offer a piece of
practical advice from somebody
who has spent a lot of time on
elections.
Seventy four million people voted for
Donald J Trump
more than for George W Bush
more than for Ronald Reagan.
Seventy four million people
by a long shot, a
record
right.
You want to destroy the
Republican Party, throw away our
chances of 23 24 just go
along with this.
I urge every republican of every
background for the sake of your
party do not allow this to come
up and put maximum pressure on
the democratic senators in swing
states to not allow this to come
up
its a charade and its very.
