NEWT:
First of all, the President’s right. You go back looking and look I think 2013 agreement that Biden and Obama made which allows Chinese companies to raise money in the U.S without meeting the same accounting standards as American companies. So several American investors have lost billions of dollars because some of these companies just plain lie. That’s an Obama Biden mistake which I think is going to be corrected by Trump, but it gives you an example of how much they gave the Chinese. In addition, Biden has this little program up at the University of Pennsylvania which refuses to tell us how much of his money comes from China, and we know that the Chinese have been out trying to buy influence at a variety of universities many of whom are fighting the effort to find out where their money comes from and then the Chinese have been playing this game. Biden has been part of that kind of world and I think we ought to be honest he said himself, we don’t have to be afraid of the Chinese we’re not ever going to be a threat to us, just take his own quotes and you realize this is a guy who sees the Chinese communist basically as really good business partners and of course, with his son Hunter Biden they may have been really good business partners. We still don’t know all of the details.
NEWT:
Well not just that. You would lose every single state where people drive cars. You lose every state like New Hampshire where they use fuel oil. The Biden program which is directly from the hard left is basically we could have a terrific environment if nobody went to work, nobody had a job, nobody ever drove a car and so when we kill all the industries have a successful country. I think if Biden really wants to pick a fight with Trump over economy, that he has just gone down an ally that makes no sense at all. All we have to do I list the Obama Biden eight year unemployment level and the Trump four-year achievement and ask yourself which of these two do you think works better, and the polling numbers are the people trust President trump to bring us back out of this mess much more than they trust Biden, when you ask them about the economy.
NEWT:
Yeah, right but here is the problem. In the red states, where you have pro-Trump governors they’re opening up. In the blue states like New York , where Cuomo is a total disaster, the gap between how many jobs we created in the red states and how many jobs we kill in the blue states by September will be amazing, and the fact is there is no excuse for any of the states to be closed up and a report came out of Stanford that we’re better off for example, to go back-to-school in September, period, and the Germans have issued report that absolutely opening up every kindergarten, every k-12, putting kids back in school, immediately. I just think that in the blue states where they follow old time liberalism and where politicians like Cuomo want to have power without accountability they are going to have a weak economy and in the places where people understand what Trump is doing and they want to have a real life and real jobs, I think they are going to do well that’ll be one of the most vivid gaps in American history and I think it’ll teach people a real lesson about what works and what fails.
NEWT:
Let’s be honest and you had some of this with Tammy Bruce a few minutes ago. No one has been more dangerous for senior citizens than Governor Cuomo. Nobody has and he lies, plain out lies when he says he was following the Center for Disease Control principles. I’ve got a copy of them. I know exactly what it said, and he did not follow the guidelines. People have died because of his bad judgment and if he doesn’t reopen the state, more people are going to die because of Cuomo’s bad judgment. It’s obscene to have somebody who is this ignorant, wielding this level of power and listening to nobody you have to wonder other than his brother late at night when they’re playing games on television, who does he listen to because his policies make no sense. And by the way, those states right around New York, that’s the center of people who are dying today in America from COVID and all the rest of the country is making tremendous progress, but New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and frankly, Washington D.C., those are the disaster zones.
