NEWT:

I think she is not used to anybody challenging her anymore. She thinks she lives in a bubble. She lives in a world where, if she's caught cheating on wearing a mask and going into a beauty salon that's supposed to be closed, it must be somebody else's fault, that was an ambush set up to hurt her. When members of her caucus don't get, it's because they're stupid, because she's brilliant, and I think she's very fragile at this stage and I think it's interesting to watch. If you think about it, if you're going to have a leadership of Pelosi, Schumer and Biden -- talk about people that have some amazing length of time in Washington, all of them are at a point in life where they get irritable and edgy and Biden is at times blowing up at reporters and blowing up and telling people “If you're not for me you're not black.” I mean these are comments that 10 years ago he would never have made, and she's in the same boat. She may be frankly -- her past-due date may have already expired.

Sure, she wouldn't. It's about raw power. Look, Pelosi is a person who could with no sense of irony be standing in front of a $24,000 refrigerator eating $12 a pint ice cream and expressing her concern for poor Americans. She has no sense of irony. She can live in a protected enclave and think it's okay to defund the police and not see any contradiction in the size of her security patrol and the fact that she wants to leave average citizens without any police. This is the beginning of the -- the California liberalism, remember -- you have a vice presidential candidate from San Francisco, the Speaker of the House from San Francisco, the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee of the Senate from San Francisco, and then the Governor of California is from San Francisco. For a city that can't collect human feces off the street, that is an extraordinary level of political power. I think they just live in a fantasy land.

I think the fact is that if Trump continues to campaign as well as he did tonight in Pennsylvania, and continues to make the case on the big issues and gets off all the minor stuff, I think that he can beat Biden by a big margin and I think in the process we'll take back the House and more than keep the Senate, maybe increase the Senate. The key for the Trump campaign, frankly, is to get on these big issues such as the Biden depression versus the Trump recovery, and stay on them and not get down into the weeds and not get drawn off on things. The news media works every day to get Trump to say something that doesn't get his main point across so they can avoid covering how bad Biden is, and Trump all too often plays into that. He needs to focus on the big choices, in which case three weeks from now, we're going to have an astonishing election.
