While I mean, the answer there, it is a lie. It is typical of the left. They lie constantly. What she said is a lie. African Americans, in fact, have been buying guns in considerable numbers, and if you look at places that are really, really dangerous, like Chicago, like San Francisco, like Philadelphia, the great threat is to African Americans, not from whites, not from white nationalist, but frankly from fellow African Americans. And I think it is fairly reasonable to suggest that a lot of African Americans are buying guns to protect themselves because the police have been so weakened by left-wing cuckoos that in fact, they don’t have the kind of protection that 20 or 30 years ago would have kept those cities safe.

I think, first of all, look, I think the politics of what happens in your own life absolutely overwhelms the politics of Washington baloney. So, whatever the Democrats are doing right now, they can’t fix gasoline prices, as you know, my wife Callista paid $104.50 to fill her tank on Saturday, it was a shock to her. That is happening all over the country. They can’t fix gasoline, they can’t fix diesel fuel and that is driving up the cost of everything delivered by truck, they can’t fix the cost of food, they can’t fix crime in the big cities, they can’t fix the border. Take every single thing, if we start having electricity blackouts this summer, which is very likely in places like California, because it turns out electric cars require electricity. Something we have not been investing in an electric grid strong enough to sustain it.
NEWT:
Well, look, I think you cannot overstate how out of touch with reality the left is. How much they don’t understand what really goes on in the world and how truly, big government socialism just doesn’t work. It is not a question of ideology; it just doesn’t work. I always tell people, you can put an egg in a freezer, and you can get a hard egg, but it is not boiled, and this is where the left is. Every single one of their policies is based on things that don’t work. Now what is that going to mean? It is going to mean that by November, Americans are going to be so sick of the Democrats and so sick of their inability to deliver anything that you are likely to see the largest Republican victory since 1920. That is 102 years ago. And I think it is very likely to happen.
NEWT:
Right, and in Washington state, we have a great candidate for the U.S. Senate in Washington state — I think almost certainly Adam Laxalt is going to win in Nevada. I think you are going to see us pick up state after state because what happens, you saw last year in New Jersey, you had a guy win, beat the senate president, Ed Dunn Jr., won the race, he only spent $2300, most of it at Dunkin’ donuts on his volunteers. But what happened was people walked in and said not him, about the state senate president. When they said, “Not him,” they voted for Ed Dunn Jr. By the way, the state senate president four years ago, won the most expensive legislative race in the country, he got beat last year for $2300. You are going to see that all across the country. You could have — I just saw a report today from one of the analysts that you could have an all-republican congressional delegation from Iowa when this year is over. Every place you look, the guys who really study this and the men and women who study this are saying the trend line is toward the Republicans. I think they are right.
