Trump just proved this to the Canadians, Newt Gingrich says

THANKS SO MUCH. KELLY SABERI ON CAPITOL HILL. JOINING ME IS THE FORMER SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, GEORGIA CONGRESSMAN AND FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR, NEWT GINGRICH BACK WITH US. MR. SPEAKER, ALWAYS A PLEASURE. GREAT TO SEE YOU, NEWT. YOUR REACTION? >> WELL, LOOK, I MEAN, I THINK THAT MAJORITY LEADER THUNE DID AN AMAZING JOB TO GET THE SENATE TO ACT THAT QUICKLY, HE GOT DOWN TO THE WIRE AND NEEDED THE VICE PRESIDENT TO BREAK THE TIE BUT THEY GOT THE BILL THROUGH. THAT WAS AN ENORMOUS ACHIEVEMENT AND MAJORITY LEADER THUNE DESERVES AN AWFUL LOT OF CREDIT FOR INCH BY INCH LISTENING TO HIS MEMBERS, MODIFYING THE BILL. REMEMBER, FOR EVERYBODY THAT TALKS ABOUT NO KINGS AND ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP BEING TOO GREAT A LEADER IN TERMS OF BREAKING OUT THE RULES, THIS IS THE CONSTITUTIONAL PROCESS. THE HUNDRED MEMBERS OF THE SENATE REPRESENTING THE STATES HAVE TO PASS A BILL. THE 435 MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE REPRESENTING INDIVIDUAL DISTRICTS HAS TO PASS A BILL. PRESIDENT CAN’T SIGN ANYTHING IF THEY DON’T GET THE BILL THROUGH SO THE SYSTEM’S WORKING. >>> IT’S PAINFUL. IT’S HARD. IT’S EXACTLY WHAT THE FOUNDING FATHERS WANTED. SPEAKER JOHNSON HAS I THINK A VERY SIMPLE MESSAGE THAT HE HAS TO DELIVER TO THOSE REPUBLICANS THAT ARE THINKING ABOUT VOTING NO. A NO VOTE IS A VOTE FOR THE LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN AMERICAN HISTORY. I WOULD CHALLENGE ANY HOUSE REPUBLICAN EXPLAIN TO ME IF THE SENATE BILL GOT THROUGH BY A TIE VOTE WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT BREAKING THE TIE, WHAT IS IT YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING TO DO TO GET THE BOIL BE BETTER AND GET IT THROUGH — BILL TO BE BETTER AND GET IT THROUGH THE SENATE AND THE ANSWER IS NOTHING. SO THIS IS I YOU CAN EITHER WITH FOR THE BIGGEST TAX INCREASE IN HISTORY, YOU CAN BE FOR WEAKENING OUR CONTROL ON THE BORDER, YOU CAN BE FOR ALLOWING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO GET TAX PAID MONEY, ALLOWING ADULTS WHO REFUSE TO WORK TO GET TAX PAID MONEY AND REMEMBER THE DEMOCRAT COMMENTS ON MEDICAID ARE VIRTUALLY ALL LIES. THERE ARE NO CHILDREN WHO ARE AFFECTED BY THIS, NO FAMILIES AFFECTED BY THIS. THIS GOES AFTER PEOPLE WHO ARE EITHER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS COMMITTING FRAUD OR REFUSING TO GO TO WORK. NOW OVERWHELMINGLY, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THINK THAT’S LEGITIMATE. SO AS THE DEBATE GOES ON, MY HOPE IS THAT THE HOUSE REPUBLICANS WILL DECIDE IN THE END THAT THIS IS A BIG STEP. REMEMBER, GOVERNING IS A MOTION PICTURE. IT’S NOT A POLAROID SNAPSHOT. AFTER THIS BILL THERE WILL BE MORE BILLS, THERE WILL BE MORE OPPORTUNITIES AND IT’S IMPORTANT FOR THE PRESIDENT’S MOMENTUM THAT THIS PASS, THAT GET IT SIGNED AND THEN THEY CAN TORN THE NEXT BIG ACHIEVE — TURN TO THE NEXT BIG ACHIEVEMENT. MARIA: THERE WILL BE A RECONCILIATION OPPORTUNITY LATER IN THE YEAR TO GET MORE SPENDING CUTS AND OTHER PRIORITIES THROUGH. BUT YOU WRITE OUT EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE AVERAGE FAMILY OUT THERE IN YOUR MOST RECENT PIECE, NEWT, AND IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT TO POINT THIS OUT BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE MAY VERY WELL HOLD THOSE CONGRESSMEN ACCOUNTABLE COME THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS, YOU WRITE THE AVERAGE FAMILY OF FOUR WOULD HAVE PAID AN EXTRA $1,700 IN TAXES, ABOUT NINE WEEKS WORTH OF GROCERIES IF THEY VOTE NO, KILLING THE BILL WOULD HAVE CUT THE CHILD TAX CREDIT AND YOU TALK ABOUT SMALL BUSINESS, 26 MILLION SMALL BUSINESS WOULDS HAVE SEEN THEIR TAXES INCREASE TO 43%. THESE ARE ARE HUGE IMPACTS AND THAT AFFECTS GROWTH OVERALL IN THE BROADER ECONOMY AND IT AFFECTS OBVIOUSLY THE FATE OF FAMILIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. >> YEAH, YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE DEMOCRATS WOULD VOTE NO, BECAUSE — MARIA: NO, I CAN’T, ACTUALLY. NO, I STILL CAN’T UNDERSTAND THAT. >> IT WILL CRUSH THE ECONOMY. MARIA: YEAH, EXACTLY. I MEAN, THEY WANT — I GUESS THEY WANT THAT GOING INTO THE MIDTERMS. >> REPUBLICANS WILL LOSE. MARIA: IT’S ALL POLITICAL. >> WELL, I THINK, LOOK, IT’S A GREAT RISK THE DEMOCRATS ARE TAKING. IF THEY BECOME THE PARTY OF MAMDANI, IF THEY BECOME THE PARTY OF HUGE TAX INCREASES, THAT’S GOING TO BE A PRETTY BIG BURDEN TO CARRY, LIKE AN ELEPHANT ON THEIR BACK AS THEY GO INTO THE ELECTION NEXT YEAR. MARIA: PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SHOWN SUCH PRACTICALITY WHEN IT COMES TO A NUMBER OF ISSUES, NOT JUST THE TAXES AND THE BORDER BUT ALSO ABOUT CHINA AND THE DOJ ANNOUNCED TWO CHINESE NATIONALS WERE ARRESTED YESTERDAY FOR ALLEGEDLY SPYING ON AND COLLECTING INTELLIGENCE FROM U.S. NAVY BASES. THEY TRIED TO RECRUIT OTHER MILITARY MEMBERS TO SERVE CHINA’S FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. THIS IS JUST A STORY THAT NEVER QUITS AND I SPOKE WITH THE PRESIDENT ABOUT THE CHINA THREAT AND HOW HE DEALS WITH IT ON SUNDAY MORNING FUTURES. I WANT TO GET YOUR TAKE ON HOW HE RESPONDS HERE. WATCH THIS. >> WE HAD A DEAL WITH CHINA WHERE IT WAS 145% TARIFFS AND I WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING STOPPED IN CHINA. MARIA: SEEMS LIKE YOU GO SO FAR WITH CHINA BUT YOU DON’T SORT OF USE THE LEVERAGE THAT YOU CAN USE. LOOK — >> IF I EVER HAD TO USE IT I WOULD USE IT. WHEN THERE’S NO REASON TO USE IT, THAT’S GOOD TOO. MARIA: WE DID JUST ARREST THREE OR FOUR CHINESE NATIONALS THAT TRIED TO BRING A PATHOGEN INTO THE COUNTRY THAT GETS PEOPLE SICK AND DESTROYS THE FOOD SUPPLY. >> DID THAT COME THROUGH THE COUNTRY OR IS THAT THROUGH WHACK OS THAT CARRIED SOMETHING. MARIA: ONE OF THEM SIGNED A PAPER SAYING HE WOULD VALUE MAO ZE DONNING’S VALUE SYSTEM. THEY STEAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, FENTANYL, COVID. HOW DO YOU NEGOTIATE WITH A BAD ACTOR? >> YOU DON’T THINK WE DO THAT TO THEM? WE DO A LOT OF THINGS — MARIA: THAT’S THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS? >> THAT’S THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS, IT’S A NASTY WORLD. MARIA: YOU DO A TRADE DEAL? >> WE MADE A LOT OF MONEY WITH THE TRADE DEAL. I DO A TRADE DEAL IF IT WORKS. MARIA: YOU THINK CHINA IS GOING TO STOP BULLYING COMPANIES TO GIVE THEM INFORMATION IN TERMS OF — IN EXCHANGE FOR GETTING THE RARE EARTH MINERALS NOW? ?>> THEY SHOULDN’T PUT THEMSELVS IN THAT POSITION. CHINA RIGHT NOW NEEDS THOSE COMPANIES MUCH MORE THAN THEY NEEDED THEM TWO YEARS AGO. MARIA: SO NEWT, I WANT TO GET YOUR REACTION HERE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE WERE WAITING ON A TRADE DEAL WITH CHINA. THE JULY 9th TARIFF PAUSE ENDS NEXT WEEK WITH MOST NATIONS –,E CHINA BECAUSE WILL END IN AUGUST. WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS THEY TERMS OF THE TRADE DEALS? THAT’S THE NEXT BIG ISSUE THAT THE MARKET’S FOCUSED ON CERTAINLY AFTER THE BIG BILL PASSES THE HOUSE THIS WEEK. >> LOOK, I ALWAYS RECOMMEND TO PEOPLE TO READ TRUMP’S FIRST BIG BEST SELLER, THE ART OF THE DEAL. IT TELLS YOU A LOT ABOUT TRUMP. HE’S MADE TONS OF DEALS IN HIS CAREER. HE’S GOTTEN TO BE VERY SUCCESSFUL AT IT AND HE’S PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT MOST DAYS HE CAN OUT-NEGOTIATE OTHER PEOPLE. MY HUNCH IS, WE NEVER TALKED ABOUT IT THIS DIRECTLY BUT MY HUNCH IS THAT HE HAS A VERY CLEAR CUT YARDSTICK. IS AMERICA BETTER OFF, DOES AMERICA GET MORE JOBS, IS THERE MORE INVESTMENT IN AMERICA? IF THE ANSWER IS YES, IT’S A GOOD DEAL AND I’LL TAKE IT. IF THE ANSWER IS NO, HE’S NOT GOING TO TAKE THE DEAL. AS HE JUST PROVED TO THE CANADIANS, TRUMP UNDERSTANDS BETTER THAN ANY OTHER AMERICAN PRESIDENT, WE’RE THE BIGGEST ECONOMY, COUNTRIES NEED ACCESS TO US FAR MORE THAN WE NEED ACCESS TO THEM AND THAT GIVES HIM THE LEVERAGE AS A DEAL MAKER TO CONSISTENTLY PRESSURE OTHER COUNTRIES INTO GIVING AMERICA A BETTER DEAL THAN THEY GOT IN THE LAST 30 YEARS AND IT’S BEGINNING TO REALLY WORK. MARIA: DO YOU THINK THAT VOTERS WILL HOLD THE DEMOCRATS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR LACK OF PUTTING AMERICA FIRST, NEWT? I MEAN, YOU’VE GOT THE MIDTERMS COMING UP IN ’26. HOW DO YOU SEE THINGS HAPPENING GOING INTO THAT? >> WELL, THE BEST ANALYST I KNOW IS A GUY NAMED SETH KESHEL WHO STUDIES REGISTRATION BY COUNTY AND STATE, ISSUED A REPORT TWO DAYS AGO THAT IN EVERY COUNTY IN PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS HAVE GAINED GROUND. EVERY SINGLE COUNTY. AND SO KESHEL THINKS WE’RE PROBABLY GOING TO KEEP THE HOUSE AND COULD KEEP THE HOUSE BY A BIG MARGIN. THE DEMOCRATS WHO GOT RADICALISM LIKE MAMDANI AND AOC AND THE DEMOCRATS HAVE A HISTORY NOW OF VOTING FOR TAX INCREASES AND THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TO CARRY THE BURDEN OF THE BIDEN RECORD, IF THE REPUBLICANS CAMPAIGN STRATEGICALLY THEY WILL HAVE AN ASTONISHINGLY GOOD YEAR NEXT YEAR, MUCH LIKE FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT IN 1934 AND WILL CONSOLIDATE THE TRUMP MAJORITY AND GIVE THE PRESIDENT TWO MORE YEARS TO CONTINUE MAKING VERY AGGRESSIVE REFORMS AND WHAT IS NOW A 90-YEAR-OLD SYSTEM THAT’S FRANKLY CORRUPT AND BUREAUCRATIC AND INCOMPETENT AND BADLY NEEDS OVERHAUL. MARIA: WE WILL LEAVE IT THERE. GREAT ANALYSIS AS ALWAYS.
