NEWT:

Well if you watched Senator Feinstein, he used to chair the Intelligence Committee he said last week that we should all be very proud of the progress China has made that it has become a normal country. At the time, you are now getting a probe of Chinese Communist Democratic Party. And you look at Biden’s speeches in China where he’s been at Chinese universities, it is amazing how much he embraces the dictatorship and ignoring all of the things that they are doing that are terrible. So, I think there is a huge vulnerability because the Democrats don’t want to deal with the reality of China, and they don’t want to deal with the reality of Xi Jinping and the dictatorship, and I think that will be more obvious as this campaign goes on.

NEWT:

I think he was, and I think he still is. And I think you know, he just said earlier this year, come on, guys, they are not really a threat to us. That is a statement on the stump back when he was still in the primaries. So, he hasn’t changed much. I think the entire democratic party not only wants to defund the police, but they want to defund defense and they want to live in a world where they can pretend there are no predators either at home or abroad. It is a very dangerous position to be in.

NEWT:

First of all, I think it is very ironic that in Portland, the problem was supposed to be the federal government. If only federal troops were not there and the various law-enforcement agencies, everything would be fine. It didn’t work out that way. The fact is whether you are talking about predatory crime in Chicago and New York, you are talking about genuinely anti-American activities in Seattle and Portland. Liberal Democrats cannot come to grips with the fact that there are people who are dangerous who need to be locked up and there are certain patterns you can’t accept. In Minneapolis, there are only six policemen in the third precinct covering 14 and a half miles. Six policemen in a shift, 14 and a half miles. They have now put out a letter that says there were I think, 100 burglaries and 20 carjacking’s and here is an outline of what you should do in order to not get hurt. So, if somebody mugs you, you are supposed to give them your wallet, give them your cell phone, try not to do anything to get them to be angry because the police, they can’t police it. Of course, this is a city where their reactions and riots was talking about replacing the entire police department apparently with social workers. These are experiments that are so destructive and every single one of them are liberal Democrats and radical Democrats. And I hope the president will drive home as a pro-criminal party and I said this in my book Trump and the American Future, a pro-criminal party called Democrats and there is a pro-police party called Republicans. And it is literally that big of a difference.

NEWT:

Well, look, I think what you are seeing is the dumbing down of America for three generations. You are seeing left-wing indoctrination and literally groupthink. I do a podcast and I talked about shutting your mouth as an entire series on where the left has told us, say what they want or else. I really think the time has come to take back the schools and to take back the universities. And I think a lot of governors, frankly, aren’t doing their jobs when they allow public universities to be run by people who are radically anti-American. So this is a very dangerous moment in our history. We are not going compete with China. If we insist on having schools or the unions won’t teach and what they teach is not true and example in Baltimore, there are entire buildings where not a single student able to pass the state exam. That’s a recipe for us being destroyed.
