Newt Gingrich | Fox Business Channel's Mornings with Maria | Mar 7 2023

NEWT:

First of all she is a very unusual candidate has no hope for winning and she’s open to being mocked the white house, I mean legitimately, the white house is going to try to diminish and shrink any potential opponent, they have a single mission get Joe Biden renominated and reelected. They are going to run over anybody they have to, to try to get that done, that is a legitimate part of how our history works, I must say in terms of your last segment if I were Chinese communist would be thrilled with Joe Biden's proposed tax increase a -- it guarantees slower American growth, it guarantees a weaker economy, it guarantees less investment if I were XI jinping I would be cheering. That like all left wing Democrats Joe Biden wants to raise taxes reduce growth increase the economic problems of America, instead of reforming the system as senator Braun pointed out.

NEWT:

Biden is best president China has had I am sure they are hoping he is reflected in '24, stay on Medicare for a minute. If we had transparency of cost and price, if we had genuine competition health system, the economists Art Laffer estimates that we would take 2 percentage points of gross domestic product that’s a huge number two percentage points out of cost of healthcare in this country we need reform we need thoughtful effort to really get to a modern system a system that offers people real choices real information that reform of Medicare, Medicaid is much, much more important than just raising taxes to pay for a system that frankly doesn't work very well.

NEWT:

Well, I think she is going to go down in history as thank you laughing vice president, and in some ways the laughable vice president. I you know, it’s hard to take Kamala Harris seriously. In my mind she is in the Harry and Meghan class always a grievance always a problem always something, Americans are very, very good to Kamala Harris she won statewide elections in our biggest state the vice president of the United States. And she may be the most shallow person, ever to be vice president and once again, if you asked watch her style still I don't know if nervous or what, but really communicates sort of a lack of security, that is quite remarkable for somebody who is the number two person in the United States.

NEWT:

Sure, look I mean Michelle Obama is one of the two most famous Democrats, her husband being the other one an instant formidable candidate. On the other hand imagine their financial report what it would look like I think it would be fun for the country, to learn a lot more about the Obamas finances I don't think she will run.
