Newt Gingrich on Fox News Channel's The Ingraham Angle | September 13, 2021

NEWT:

I think first of all that your analysis is really right. We did a survey in premarket capitalism beat government socialism by 59-16. That's an amazing number and it shows you how the socialists have frankly alienated themselves from most Americans. I think what's going on is they watch Bill Clinton, he lost the congress in '94, they watched Obama lost congress and the house in 2010 and I think deep down all of their leadership expects to lose next year and so they want to ram everything they can through the system before they are defeated and if that means they defeat 30 or 40 of their marginal Democrats in the house and three or four or five in the senate, that's the price they've decided is inevitable so they're going to try to get this stuff through. I think however the ways and means chairman today when he came out and talked about $3 trillion in tax increases and was very candid and said he's not going to share the details because everybody will mobilize in opposition when they see the taxes, that isn't going to work. All across the country, you're going to have people calling your house and senate members and saying I do not want you to vote yes on raising my taxes and I don't see how they get it through the congress.

NEWT:

No. I mean look first of all, if you are a big government socialist, you despise the law, you despise the constitution. AOC wearing a tax the rich dress to the Metropolitan Gala surrounded by the rich. Just gives you a sense of this in-your-face willingness to change the rules. I think what you've got is people who break the law at the border with millions of immigrants, Biden hypocritically says if you are in private business, you have to get vaccinated. But if you’re in the postal union you don’t have to. If you're an illegal immigrant, you don't have to and think about it, you have people who routinely break the rules.

NEWT:

First of all, you've already had the left say if you don't pass my $3.5 trillion big government socialist bill, I'm not going to allow you to pass the infrastructure bill so in the house, they have this gridlock because if they can't pass the 3.5 trillion, they're not going to get the infrastructure. I don't think they can pass the 3.5 trillion. In the senate, I think Manchin has really dug in. And so, does the left then blow up and refused to pass the infrastructure bill? What is deeper is his president of the United States who talks about hope, several trillion dollars, this is going to be a 10,000-page bill with $3 trillion of tax increases, three and a half trillion dollars in spending and it is virtually insane to do this in the face of inflation.
