Gingrich on Election Impact

Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, 800-941-Sean is a number.
If you want to be a part of the program, before I get started, we're going to be joined in a minute by Newt Gingrich on this election eve here.
Very unsettling new poll from Politico.
Showed a majority of Americans expect a political candidate will be assassinated in the next five years.
And just as alarming, a large slice of the American public said they believe political violence is justified.
I have been warning that this incitement, this rhetoric, that is the dehumanization, Nazi, fascist, racist, Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, day in, day out, hour in, hour out, all over the media.
It is going to end in a disaster.
This is the canary in the coal mine about how real it is.
If Charlie Kirk wasn't real, if the two assassination attempts against Trump, if the attacks against ICE agents don't wake you up when you have more than half of America saying it's very likely that a political candidate will be assassinated in the next five years and the views cut across party lines with the agreement from 51% of last year's Donald Trump voters and 53% of people that voted for Kamala Harris, this is scary.
It's a scary environment.
We spent a lot of time in the last hour talking about New York.
We're going to talk a little more about New Jersey and Virginia.
I'll tell you the race I'm most paying attention to is in Virginia's Miaris for the Attorney General.
That is a real race against this idiot that said he wanted to kill the Speaker of the House and his children.
What's his name, Jones?
And it's unbelievable to me, but I just want to tell you something about what's happening in New Jersey.
And I spent a lot of time on the phone with Matt Towery earlier today.
And this race that we didn't pay attention to four years ago, Jack Titarelli, very, very close race in New Jersey.
And, you know, the American Tax Foundation found New Jersey residents face the second highest overall tax burden in the entire country.
That includes the highest property taxes in the country, an effective rate, you know, more than twice the state of Florida, which has no state income tax, and a property tax rate less than half.
New Jersey is home to the fourth highest income tax rate in the country.
It's the highest corporate tax state in the country.
This is the one Mamdani wants to duplicate.
The state's gas tax, 45 cents a gallon, one of the highest in the country.
The sales tax, among the highest in the country, one of the only states in America to collect an inheritance tax.
New York, I thought, was bad at 10%.
Remember, the federal government, this is money you've already paid taxes on, taxes you at 40%.
And the state of New Jersey puts on a whopping 16% on top of that 40%, the highest in the country.
You have to pay to die in New Jersey.
My financial advisors would always pull me in once a year and say, whatever you do, don't die in New York.
I'm like, okay, I'll talk to God about that.
I'll see what he says.
Thank God.
God was very, you know, very good to me.
I don't live there anymore.
But they tax their residents literally after death.
You get taxed to die.
And Mikey Sherrill is a disaster.
I would like to know.
She says she will not commit to cutting taxes.
She will not tell the people of New Jersey why she was unable to walk in with her graduating class at the Naval Academy.
They've had a net migration of 200, nearly a quarter of a million people in the last three years, many of them coming 116,000 coming to the free state of Florida.
Its unemployment rate right up there with California, a point higher than the national average.
State homeless population exploding, highest numbers in over a decade.
The second least affordable place to live in the U.S. California is the only state that's worse.
And under Cheryl, you know, she, you know, campaigning with a local defund the police activist.
You can't trust her.
She gave two different answers on this cheating scandal.
The first was, well, I wouldn't rat out my fellow cadets.
And then secondly, she said, yeah, no, I spoke to investigators and told them everything she knew.
She can release the record.
She says she's going to be the most transparent governor ever.
But this is, according to pollsters, a very real race.
Here's what it comes down to, and I've had many calls in New Jersey today.
It's going to come down to this is a turnout election.
If Jack Chitterelli tomorrow gets every Republican to turn out, he will win that state, and that will be a political earthquake in the country.
I believe that Mayoris can hang on as Attorney General if the people of Virginia get out to vote.
Winsome Sears would be a far better choice than Abigail Spamberger.
Here to analyze all of it is Newt Gingrich.
Sir, how are you?
Well, I'm doing great, and I think you sort of captured what a moment.
But let's start up in New York City with Mondame.
I mean, who would have thought at the very point where the country's moving to the right and where people like Donald Trump are having a bigger, bigger impact, who would have thought that you'd get a Uganda-born radical, clearly big government socialist dedicated to destroying Israel and astonishingly anti-Semitic for a candidate in New York City?
And anti-police.
Big margin.
Well, I mean, one poll showed a closing, but the seven-point race is barely closing the gap, isn't it?
Yeah, and I think one of these remember is, you know, people answer the telephone and they talk to a pollster.
In order to vote, you have to leave your house, go out of your way, spend some time.
And that's why in all of these races, what I'll be looking at, and I'm going to do some writing for FoxNews.com on Wednesday.
And what I'll be looking at is what are the turnout patterns?
Who felt excited enough to actually go out and vote?
And of course, Jack Chittorelli proved last time he ran well ahead of the polls.
Historically, Republicans do three or four or five points better in New Jersey than the poll numbers.
If that's true tomorrow, then Chitterelli is going to win the race.
The question is.
Well, what my analysis is showing me, and based on people that I talked to, high-propensity voters for Mikey Sherrill have already voted.
And much lower level of Jack Chittarelli supporters have voted early.
Now, last four years ago, on Election Day, he won by 250,000 votes.
He's going to need more than that this time, even though there's been a mass exodus.
And there's a lot of red areas all over the state of New Jersey.
If they show up in big numbers, and we'll know probably by the time I come on the air tomorrow if the turnout looks good, if they show up, Jack Chitterelli can shock the world.
He can win this race.
And I've been that is a winnable race.
It is a long shot.
There's nearly a million more Democrats.
Well, and that's the thing people need to remember is that whatever happens tomorrow is happening in the very Democratic areas.
I mean, New York City is overwhelmingly Democrat.
California right now is overwhelmingly Democrat.
New Jersey is overwhelmingly Democrat.
Virginia has certainly shifted towards being more and more Democrat.
So you're not going to see a referendum in the sense of the 2026 election.
But what you're going to see is who cares enough to show up?
If the MAGA voters, for example, in southern Virginia and southern New Jersey decide to show up in big numbers, they can change things.
If the younger Hispanic and African-American voters who are clearly moving to Trump, if they decide that they want to carry that over to Chittarelli and to Lieutenant Governor Sears, they can change things.
And I think that you're having a lot of that sort of thing out there that you have to watch and see what happens.
But my sense is that, and I just was doing some studies of recent national polls.
I mean, the Democrats continue to lose ground.
The fact is that Chuck Schumer's, I think, genuinely cruel and corrupt decision to close the federal government in an effort to gain political power has backfired.
And that the rise of Mondami, if you're west of the Hudson or north of the New York City border, Mondami makes no sense at all.
And our last point.
Well, Long Island, for example, is getting redder and redder.
Upstate New York is getting redder and redder.
Westchester, the backlash is fierce.
And real estate prices have gone up dramatically outside of New York City.
People will be escaping.
And then I think all these firms are coming down to the free state of Florida or they're going to Texas.
An article in the New York Post today.
We know Ken Griffin Citadel.
He already moved everything to Florida, multi-billion dollar business.
There are more J.P. Morgan Chase employees in Texas than there are in New York City.
Goldman Sachs, David Solomon's building a $500 million, 800,000 square foot campus in Dallas, Texas.
All these financial firms, Wall Street South, is real.
All these financial firms, private equity firms, investment firms, banks, they're all moving to Florida and Texas in troves.
Yeah, there's a picture somebody put out yesterday that said Florida Realtor of the Year, and it was Mondami's picture.
Because he'll probably sell the property in Florida than anybody else has in a long time.
But I think all of this, to me, you know, we're in a much more dangerous situation than people think because this very long shutdown is grinding down the ability of the American government to function.
And that affects things all over the world.
And it affects our ability to be the leading country on the planet.
And it's also, and I wrote a piece on this at Gingrich 360, saying it's a very cruel strategy.
I mean, basically, Chuck Schumer has decided that he will kick people off food stamps.
He'll refuse to pay the American workers for air traffic control or TSA or for that matter for the entire federal government.
He's going to do whatever he has to do in order to try to win a political fight to get a tiny amount of power for a short period of time.
And I think it's been one of the most cynical and cruel strategies.
You may remember that he said one day in an interview with Punchbowl News that every day gets better.
And what he was saying was the more the country is suffering, the better it is for the Senate Democratic Party, which I think will.
They keep saying they know the American people will suffer, but it's the only leverage we have.
Right.
So everybody who is currently not able to get food stamps, currently not able to get paid for their job, currently not able to do business with the federal government, you have Chuck Schumer to thank you for it.
Yeah, somebody that his entire life was against it.
Let me ask you this, because I think you're right on the shutdown.
I think you're 100% right.
I think it's backfired.
I think probably after this election, they're going to wise up and realize the damage they're doing to themselves and their brand and what the future consequences are.
How do you interpret what's coming up tomorrow?
Because you have this historical perspective.
You're a professor at heart.
How do you look at this?
Because, look, the fact that New Jersey is in play is a win for me.
And I believe it could shock the world.
I think that Mayaris, they're not going to do as well in the House of Delegates.
And I think that Miaris is a very good shot of winning the AG spot in Virginia.
Democrats are polling at the lowest numbers they've ever had.
Well, we'll see what happens in Pennsylvania.
I don't see a lot of people motivated to go out for Supreme Court justices because they don't pay attention to it.
But you have a chance to kick off some of these liberal activist justices in Pennsylvania.
How do you analyze the big picture?
Look, I think I try to always remind people that in the end, what matters is who cares enough to show up and vote.
And we have every reason to believe right now that you're probably going to have very significant turnout by the Trump supporters.
I think they're still committed.
They still believe.
At the same time, I'm very curious, for example, in New Jersey, to see to what extent the New York mayor's race bleeds over into northern Jersey because it's really turning people off.
I mean, I don't know how deeply the Democrats understand this, but at America's New Majority Project, we did a survey, and big government socialism is about an 18 or 19 percent issue.
So a guy like Mondami, who's doing very well in New York because it's become a very strange city, but when you get west of the Hudson, or for that matter, you get north of the New York City line, or you cross over into New Jersey, his brand of politics has almost no support.
You mentioned Long Island, for example.
Mondami is driving the growth of the Republican Party and the collapse of the Democratic Party in Long Island.
So I look out to be winning.
In a year where you have a Republican president, the Democrats ought to be winning by a big margin in New Jersey and in Virginia.
And I'm not sure that they're going to get anything like the historically normal margin for the party out of power.
I appreciate it, Speaker Gingrich.
You're the best.
Thank you, sir.
All right, 25 now to the top of the hour.
We'll get to your calls momentarily.
800-941 Sean is on number.
If you want to be a part of the program, listen, we're still suffering the hangover of the Biden-Harris economy.
Things are getting better.
It's the number one issue that people have.
And when we get to a year from now, and it's going to be the day before the midterms, I expect pretty dramatic improvement in the economy.
And you're going to see it, lower interest rates.
You're going to see sale of pre-existing homes kick back in, new home construction kick back in between the tax cuts, the trillions in committed investments money in manufacturing, energy dominance, all of this.
And it's been accelerated with This bonus depreciation, as they call it, which gives companies an incentive to build out their production facilities in record time, and which is great for business.
That means great for people that they're going to hire.
That's why I want anyone in this audience, if you're at a point in your life and you think you might want to make a career change and get a career job, these jobs are going to come online very, very quickly.
Please pay attention to them.
We, after this election, as we head into the new year, we're going to spend time telling you where to apply and put on people that are building these manufacturing facilities.
If you're in construction in the beginning part of it, if you want to be part of a new company, I mean, $500 million now being spent to build out facilities in Texas.
I mean, Texas is, you got Wall Street South and Florida.
You got Wall Street South in Texas.
It's unbelievable.
And there's a big article in the New York Post today, Dallas cashing in on Wall Street bank moves.
I made the point that there are more JP Morgan Chase employees in Texas, 31,000 compared to 24,000 in New York.
If Zoron, Marxist, Kami Mamdani, wins tomorrow, that's only going to be accelerated.
CEO of Goldman Sachs, David Solomon, he's building a $500 million, 800,000 square foot campus in Dallas.
Ken Griffith, Citadel, he moved everything out of Illinois into my free state of Florida.
Wall Street South in Florida is real.
Every big financial firm, every private equity firm, every big bank, every investment firm, they've all moved down here.
And they're going to be moving in droves with that manufacturing and pharmaceuticals, semiconductor chips, automobile manufacturing, rare earth mining is going to be huge.
Energy, high-paying career energy jobs are coming online.
It's going to be great if you're looking for opportunities.
We're going to help you find them because I love all of you in this audience.
You gave me my dream.
I want to help all of you achieve your dreams.
You know, have a nice house, safe neighborhood, that whatever you want to drive, Tesla, you want to drive an F-150.
I don't care what you drive, but you'll be able to afford it.
Send your kids to private schools if you want, be able to afford that.
I mean, really, I want this audience to benefit the most because this is the smartest audience.
And also, you know, part of freedom is you got to take risk in life.
And I wouldn't be here today if I didn't jump off the high board a whole bunch of times, scared out of my mind.
But I did.
And that's my advice to everyone anyway.
But in the meantime, you know, too many people are living paycheck to paycheck.
Too many people are putting bare necessities on high interest credit cards.
And one way everybody could save money, not sacrifice service, make the switch to my cell phone provider.
That's pure talk.
And you make the switch.
It's simple.
It's fast.
It's easy.
You get the same cell towers, same 5G network, the same exact service.
And the average family saves over $100,000.
I'm sorry, saves over $1,000 a year.
Businesses are saving thousands and thousands of dollars a year for the exact same service.
$25 a month, unlimited talk, unlimited text, plenty of data.
I mean, just dial pound 250.
Say the keyword, save now, do it now.
You save an additional 50% off your first month.
Pound 250, keyword, save now from Pure Talk, America's wireless company.
Before I get to your calls, there's so much that happened this week.
John Brennan is on edge.
John Brennan is in trouble.
John Brennan has been referred to the Justice Department for lying.
John Brennan was one of the 51 former Intel officials that knew nothing about the very real laptop of Hunter Biden, but signed the Winkin Tony Blinken memo saying it has all the indications of Russian disinformation.
Nobody that signed that letter ever saw that laptop, knew nothing about that laptop, and yet they did it to give Joe Biden a talking point heading into a debate with Donald Trump in 2020, which is like putting a cinder block on the scale of an election.
You know, we keep talking about these examples.
Why in New Jersey, one county, Democrats on a city council, they won't put cameras in the room where early votes are being stored.
Why not?
Why?
You know, why did Democrats reject election integrity measures again and again and again?
This has got to be fixed.
Anyway, here's Brennan confronted about the steel dossier by a former Intel officer.
His name is Tom.
I think, how do you say his last name?
Baschiel?
Baschiel.
Okay, George Mason University on Thursday.
Listen to this.
There was an email that went around from General Clapper, from General Clapper to yourself and Hayden.
I'm sorry, not Hayden.
That's right.
Yourself and Comey, et cetera, that basically said we all got to get on board with this, otherwise it isn't going to work, basically.
And I think that email puts everybody in the crosshairs.
I would like to hear what your justification was for supporting the dossier that was known to be false being used as source material in the second ICA.
I don't know who put you up to this.
Nobody put me up to this, sir.
I'm here on my own.
I don't know what role you played or who you are, but it's a bunch of that you just passed on.
Absolutely.
The emails are clear, sir.
The emails are clear.
The emails are clear.
The second question.
No, next.
I think we're going to answer this.
Next.
Next.
You can say we can talk about it the other way.
Talk about it on yourself.
It's Russian disinformation.
No, we didn't say that.
No, Jen.
We said it was likely Russian disinformation.
No, we did not.
We said.
You can't know that.
Can I just fight?
I don't get uninvited.
Yeah.
No, don't go.
You're done.
Come on.
All right.
We're going to go over here.
This is disinformation.
Let's go over here for a question.
Oh, let's not answer the question.
This is a former Intel officer.
Then Brennan gets in this guy's face in his grill after he questions Brennan about signing the 51, you know, being one of the 51 Intel officers on Hunter's laptop.
Listen to this.
We never said it was disinformation.
We said it was Russian influence operations, which is what they do.
There is a lot of cursing in there that we obviously can't play on the air.
All right, let's get to Rob in South Carolina.
Rob, how are you?
My staff says I met you.
What's going on?
I'm doing well.
It's uncanny.
You sound just like Sean Hannity.
Oh, wait a minute.
I met you at the Alabama USC game a couple of weekends ago, didn't I?
Yes, you sure did.
Wait a minute.
Were you the guy in front of me?
Absolutely was.
Wait a minute.
And you're a little bit tipsy, fair.
Shine on.
You definitely had your shine on.
I said that on the air.
I think the guy had his shine on.
But you were fun.
You were a really cool guy.
So you turn around and you go, man, you look an awful lot like Sean Hannity.
I'm like, yeah, you know, some other guy just said that to me.
Isn't that odd?
And meanwhile, the people that are with me are laughing.
And then I say to you, yeah, I'm Sean Hannity.
Very nice to meet you.
We took a picture together.
And you were very nice.
You were a lot of fun, actually.
I enjoyed meeting you.
Yeah, I appreciate it.
You know, they say be careful when you meet famous people or stuff.
But I got to say, you were more than gracious.
Enjoyed it.
I had three buddies down from Enfield, Connecticut, 40-year friends.
So we had a boys weekend.
And so you're...
And I can tell you were great guys having a good time at the game, which everyone does.
And I was like, you know what?
I enjoyed talking to you and meeting up with you guys and taking pictures.
You know, you got to understand something.
I'm grateful.
If people don't want my picture in my business, I'm in trouble.
Nobody wanted my picture when I was a contractor or a cook or a bartender.
Trust me.
Yeah, and you didn't look put out at all by taking the pictures.
No, not at all.
I'd love to do it.
I mean, the game was frustrating and it was a frustrating loss, but, you know.
No, that game was heartbreaking.
Dude, I've shamed Beamer.
I felt sorry for him.
The team played so good up to the last minute.
My buddy Jeff loved meeting you too.
He enjoyed it.
Big Guberto.
You are a great bunch of guys having fun.
And honestly, I could see you being in my friend's circle as a guy I'd love to hang with.
You know, well, there's a big gubernatorial race going on down here.
If you need eyes and ears in Columbia, South Carolina, I could be your man.
I'll tell you what.
Stay on the line.
We'll put you in touch with us.
And if you get good tape, we'll use it every time you get it.
You got it.
It was very, very nice to meet you.
You're a good bunch of guys.
Tell everyone, tell the group I said hello, and it was an honor to meet them.
Absolutely.
Same here.
All right, my friend.
Thank you.
800-941 Sean.
I got to take this call.
Mo the liberal has been calling this show for decades.
Mo the liberal, he's basically a communist himself.
Now, Atlas shows this race.
Atlas polling is, we don't know who they are.
Nobody knows who they are.
However, they are great pollsters that are really accurate.
They said that the race for New York City mayor has tightened dramatically, and it's a 6.6 race.
Zoron, Kami, Marx's Mamdani, he still has the lead.
It's the first poll ever that showed that in a head-to-head matchup, Cuomo would beat Mamdani.
And I kept saying, show me the poll that would beat him.
Now there's one.
It came out this weekend.
All right, let's get back to our busy phones.
800-941, Sean is our number.
Mo the lib.
He, by the way, he once dubbed me the most dangerous man in America.
Do you still believe that?
Sean, what's going on in this country is just horrible, Sean.
And as far as what's happening in New York.
Well, you didn't answer my question.
Typical liberal.
I mean, am I the most, do you still think I'm the most dangerous man in America?
You are two things, Sean.
You're the most dangerous man in America, and you're one of the most powerful.
I'm glad you think so highly of me.
I do, Sean.
Come on.
We've been talking about.
Listen, if I had to guess, although I'm hoping against hope, you know, I'm going to tell you what Cuomo's biggest mistake in this whole race.
Linda nailed this a long time ago, weeks ago.
And she said that Curtis and Cuomo should team up.
And that really was on Cuomo to do the extend the hand, make him deputy mayor in charge of, you know, law and order in New York City, which would have been great.
And promise to, you know, end no bail and all the craziness that's going on in your city.
And, you know what?
That's on Cuomo.
You know, all the, you know, all of a sudden, two and a half weeks outside of this race, everyone panics.
Oh, Zoron's winning.
Well, he kicked Cuomo's ass in the primary.
What part didn't wake you up then?
But I know you're in your glory.
You're happy.
You love Marx's Kami Mamdani.
I know it.
Toto Impedissuma.
Toto Impielisma.
Listen, Cuomo is not anything but a self-aggrandizing son of a, I can't use the word, okay?
His father was a wonderful man.
No scandals, a wonderful life.
The reason he didn't run for president, believe it or not, because his father ran a grocery store and he took numbers.
He was afraid that would ruin his run.
Look what these people are doing today.
13 women were attacked by Cuomo, probably hundreds more.
Look at your side, what's going on?
You're putting people in jail for lying.
Sean, come on.
But you never once called the show when Donald Trump, the statute of limitations ran out on Donald Trump and what was a misdemeanor in New York, they turned it into 34 felony counts.
How come you never called the show and complained about that?
How come you never called this show and complained that the judge in New York, Erdogan, wouldn't allow real estate experts from Palm Beach to give the true value of Mar-a-Lago, which it was about one to $1.5 billion, and he went with an $18 million valuation.
How come you didn't call the show then?
Why?
Sean, Sean.
Why?
14 years.
14 years.
I did the young presidents of America for Donald Trump.
It was about a $45,000 job.
He did not pay the last six grand.
I don't like the man.
I don't like anything about him.
It's personal for you.
Here's the thing.
You're going to elect a guy that hates the police.
You're going to have a guy that is going to send in the social workers.
A guy that has sided with hatred, which I would think you would be against, but you're not.
He has no experience.
He is going to raise taxes.
He's going to try and make everything free.
And, you know, look, it's your city.
I'm gone.
I'm out.
Do you miss me?
Listen to me.
Listen to me.
By the way, even Obama declined to appear with Mamdani in a campaign snub.
Well, Sean, let me tell you this.
The mayor has absolutely no power.
He's a figurehead.
He'll be nice on TV.
Nonsense.
Nonsense.
The difference between Giuliani, Comrade de Blasio, and Mamdani's night and day, the mayor has power.
And the mayor called Rudy Giuliani transformed and rebuilt New York City into the greatest city in the world.
It has now deteriorated to the point where it is back to the old days and it's going to be the worst condition it's ever been in.
And by the way, you know, I wish you luck tomorrow.
Take your victory lap.
I'm not going to come on the air like Democrats did after Trump won again.
Oh, you know, I'm not living in America anymore.
I'm leaving.
I'm going to Ireland.
I'm going to, you know, trust me, I'm going to get more material out of Comrade Marx's Mamdani than you ever dream of.
Don't worry, we're going to talk a lot about him, Mo.
You're going to want to call in and defend him a lot.
You're going to need to.
