Speaker 1 Sunday morning. What happened this week? What’s happening next week? Well, I guess what the Iranians want a stool school stare. They want to wait till a possible, a possible democratic, a democratic regime to come in November to make their life better. Well with us? Today is a speaker of new gingrigs and he’s calling in from Switzerland and his

wife is the ambassador there. Welle, what the heck is going on? Well?

Speaker 2 John, Look, I think first of all, you have to recognize that the Democrats have been involved in a series of primaries where they have been nominating people who are extraordinarily radical. That even in places where the so called moderates have won, the moderates two years ago to have been considered radical, but now compared to the really nutcases, they

look more normal. I would also say, if you look at Minnesota, for example, the lieutenant governor won the Democratic primary for the Senate she was serving during the largest state level of fraud case in history, claimed she didn’t know anything about it, almost like she was not every lieutenant governor, Which is why I think this whole concept

of amnesia is a very key part of the Democratic strategy. Please don’t remember anything I ever did or anything I ever said, because if you do, I won’t have a chance to win. So you’re going to have a series of races around the country between big human and socialists.

Many of them have the kind of values that Trump described in the State of the Union as being crazy and Republicans. And Republicans are going to carry the burden between the war and affordability are not as good as we would like. And so if this is a referendum one they are you truly happy with where we are,

Republicans could lose. But if it’s a referendum on which of these two teams do you think to naturally solve our problems and actually move us forward, Republicans could win. I think a shockingly big victory.

Speaker 1 Well, you know, I think the latter. It could be correct. The Republicans could win a big victory because the American people buying large, not the inner cities. Necessarily that the Democrats have almost lost their minds and the common sense Democrats are too afraid to stand up against the nutjobs.

I mean, I don’t know how else to say it, but.

Speaker 2 What the fact is that the weight of money and energy and publicity is on the side of the bigger and socialism, and it’s on the side of radical values. You see this with this amazing episode where the Women’s National Basketball Association has had several meetings now and can’t define what a woman is, and they had a big

effort in favor of transgender until a major NBA basketball player said, you know, six foot eleven, I think I will apply to play in the Women’s National Basketball Association because this week I feel like a woman. And they’re just going nuts because they know that you start allowing six foot eleven NBA players and you will destroy the

WNBA in about two weeks. So you see these kind of issues all over the place, and they just they cannot help themselves. I mean, the number who are for abolishing ice, the number who are for open borders, the number who are against prisons, the number of one of the UH didn’t fund the police. They’re just and then

you have to take my.

Speaker 1 Word for it.

Speaker 2 You can go find them. You know, if you google it, you you’ll go go to Chad GPG. You’ll find dozens of examples of Democrats who talk as though they live on a different planet.

Speaker 1 Now, the Democratic Party, I mean, what is your pulse of it. Are they realizing they’re being taken over by the Socialist Party? Is it more and more than realizing it? Or they’re just afraid to do anything about it. I mean, it sounds like my good friend, I mean, and we know each other forty years, Chuck Schumer. I mean, he

looks like he’s surrendering. Everywhere, all the leadership of the Democratic Democratic Party is surrendering. I just can’t figure that out.

Speaker 2 Well, as you know. That’s one of the interesting facts about our time Chuck Schumer in the Senate and have came Jeffreys from the House. The two Democratic leaders live about a mile apart in New York. So they are surrounded by the Mamdani phenomenon. They are intimidated, they are trying to accommodate it, and they have an objective problem.

If they are not for the radical who’s been nominated in Maine, the radical who’s been nominated in Michigan, the radical who’s been nominated in Minnesota, they have no hope of becoming a majority. And so the question is are they willing to sell out the values of the traditional Franklin Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy Democratic Party in order to

somehow put together this new coalition, and I think they’ve concluded that their only future is to adopt positions that are so anti American. You know the one candidate you have in New York who won the Democratic nomination for the House, who said that she didn’t use her napkin, she just wiped her hands on the American flag. Well,

for about ninety five percent of the American people, that’s pretty disgusting because we value the flag, we recognize as a symbol of America. We realize that young men and women have died for that flag. And yet this is the kind of radical, big government, socialist left winner that the Democrats are now nominating.

Speaker 1 So the way I ran, I really believe that they’re trying to delay, delayed, delay, and that their only hope is to get some radical Democrats in power in the Senate or in the Congress or whatever I mean. Then maybe delayed delays, try to stay in power until the presidential elections. I mean, are they that crazy?

Speaker 2 No, Look, I think they’re following the strategy that the North Vietnamese used in the nineteen sixties when they got people like Jane Fonda to come over and get pictures with North Vietnamese soldiers who at the same time when the process of killing Americans and the North Vietnamese knew they could never defeat us militarily, but they could defeat

us politically, and so their whole effort was designed to get the American news media to turn against the war and then to have the American political system break and conclude that they couldn’t sustain it. And I think in that sense, the Iranians have a strategy very much like the North. The North enemies communists. Their goal is to

to survive, to not give in anything basic, and to hope that in a few short weeks the Democrats will win control of the House and Senate. They will then move to impeach Trump, They’ll move to investigate every cabinet office, They’ll move to cut off funding, and at that point, I think the Iranians think they will have won the war.

So it’s very very similar to the North seat Theamese communists in focusing on trying to win in America politically what they can’t possibly win militarily.

Speaker 1 New Dinguige, Speaker of the House, and thank you for your wisdom, thank you for your common sense, and let’s catch up again.

Speaker 2 Real Salem look forward to it. Thank you,
