Remember, it’s very likely now that Dr. Oz is going to win in Pennsylvania and he was endorsed by Trump so the president overall has a very good track record, I want to say I was for Perdue and as you know I am deeply for Jake Evens and the six district, but the fact is that governor Kemp to his credit, put together a very powerful campaign, used all the weapon that is sitting governor has to raise an amazing amount of money, spent about two and a half months demolishing Purdue as a candidate with Purdue not having the money to counter it, and Kemp is going to win a significant victory, I think that we have to be honest about it that’s the only major defeat that Trump is going to have tonight, and overall Trump’s track record so far verges on astonishing.
NEWT:
In all of American history, I don’t know of any period or somebody out of office as the kind of power in state after state after state that Donald Trump has. That is just a fact you can like him or dislike him, but that’s a fact. I think one of the keys to the future of the party in terms of this 2022 that we all pull
together in Georgia because Hershel Walker’s race is one of the most important senate races in the whole country. I think Hershel can win, but it will take a unified party. And frankly while I was very much for Perdue, I will do everything I can to help Gov. Kemp win because I think we need a Republican ticket in Georgia that can win. Similarly in Pennsylvania, I think the sooner McCormick can recognize he did everything he could, he has a great future, he could certainly come back into years and run for the senate and probably win, it would be great for him to unify with Oz and recognize that’s where we are and make sure we win that seat. I think in November we could have been astonishing an astonishing year and it will be very hard for even the New York Times and the Washington Post to explain that Donald Trump is a real problem and liability if we have the kind of sweep that I think is coming. As you point out, look at how well Sarah Huckabee Sanders did in Arkansas when she just romping. I think if Quar ends up losing tonight, in a country which has a huge right to life population.
NEWT:
I think Stacy must’ve been having a bad day when she said that she been trying to work her way back, but I’m confident that Governor Kemp isn’t going to let her get away from it. I think she will probably end up losing surprisingly badly this fall both because she’s no longer new and original, she spent four years as a national figure. Trying to lay the groundwork to run for president one day. She has better ties in New York and Los Angeles then she doesn’t Georgia at this stage, her most recent comment showed how alienated she is from Georgia. The truth is, after all the lies that we’re told about the new Georgia election law, we had huge turnout, everyone agrees in general the system worked, the reforms worked, it’s going to be very across the state, Stacy Abrams finally said well you could really have some voter suppression without voter suppression. What is your complaint, there is no complaints from any part of the state of Georgia right now because the reforms that we’re passed after 2020, have really been quite successful and have made a huge difference. I want to go back to Quar if the Democrats lose the last right to life member of the house, that is a dramatic alienation for about half the country, and people need to understand that. You’re looking at a democratic party so radical that abortion on the last day paid for the by the taxpayer after nine months is seen as more legitimate than being right to life, and I think this defeat in Texas may resonate across the whole country as it sinks in that there is no one left to is allowed to speak out in favor of the baby in the democratic caucus in the U.S. House.
NEWT:
First of all, I think George B is a great talent. I’m a little surprised like you, sometimes people get a little frustrated and a little jump to things that they are not quite in a position to win. I hope he will stay active and I hope he will run again. The times I’ve talked to him, he surprisingly more like Trump than he is like the Bush family in terms of his conservatism. He has been a very solid very aggressive conservative I think he does have a great future. Texas is an amazing state great I think that more than just his name he has a level of talent that is real. I lost twice before I finally won U.S. House seat, and then I lost a whole series of efforts to gain a majority, so I’m very sympathetic for I in fact his father lost, I’m sorry, his uncle, George lost in Midland , so these things happen. His father lost in his first round running for governor in Florida. So, I hope you will I hope that George is going to come back, George P will come back and run again and to continue to build the base have ideas and solutions. He is a very creative member of their Republican party.
NEWT:
First of all, I stay very close to Georgia as I have family in Atlanta, my daughter and son-in-law, and my grandchildren, so I have a very deep interest in the state. I have many personal friends, I think a couple of things, one is it’s a huge influx for example when Georgia adopted a very good tax laws to attract Hollywood, they did. They succeeded; Georgia is a major production area. That’s what they did they sent thousands out of the Hollywood area. That has been part of the change, and I think for a while there, the Republicans in Georgia were so dominant they have everything. Sometimes you build a natural counter reaction to that, and that’s what happened for a while. But I have to say I think this may be the year the Republicans begin to reclaim the state in a decisive way. Biden is creating an environment where it’s going to be very hard for Democrats to do anything except lose, in Georgia is going to be one of the states where I think Democrats are going to suffer very substantial losses. Starting with Herschel Walker becoming the next senator. I don’t see how Warner can go home and defend the high price of gasoline, the high price of food, all of the different problems that are coming up. The other thing that will be tough in Georgia frankly is crime in Atlanta which is made Atlanta a much more dangerous city. People tell me they are afraid to go to Lenox or Phipps, the two great shopping centers downtown because of the violence. I think the Democrats are in for a tough time.
