Newt Gingrich tells Americans: This is the GOP's best chance

now tonight the numbers don't lie blue states are deteriorating red states are rising the new census data is in and texas gained two house seats florida gained one house seat new york california they lost the seat and in the case of the california it's the first time they've lost a seat since their statehood 170 years ago great job gavin newsom take a bow what does it all mean it means americans are voting with their feet and with their dollars and they are saying bye bye american pie to the liberal socialist failures under the likes of cuomo and murphy and whitmer and newsom and wolf and others florida texas they have lower taxes less regulation they're fully open they never adopted those draconian measures on covid they're reporting fewer covert cases than democratic-led michigan pennsylvania new york etc and you know what else texas and florida actually care about safety and security of every american and every community in their state they're not interested in the democratic dismantling and defunding of the police take a look defund the police abolish prisons nancy pelosi and democrats in congress have lost their minds and now they're calling for violence it's more confrontational call congressman kind and tell him to stand up to democrats attacks on law enforcement i'm sean hannity had nothing to do with that ad and i approve it anyway anyway it gets even worse for democrats a new mclaughlin poll is finding overwhelming support for voter id among likely voters and even among those who say they approve of biden here with reaction fox news contributor former speaker of the house newt gingrich i i mean it's the numbers speak for themselves right mr speaker i mean you've been through a number of census over the years well let's start with the fact that kevin mccarthy needs five seats to become speaker david wasserman of the cook report analyzed this data during the day came back and said there's a very real chance that just out of reapportionment that the republicans will pick up eight seats which would be enough to knock out nancy pelosi and make kevin mccarthy the speaker but there are deeper things going on as you point out the blue states are just hemorrhaging people they're shoving them away and what's crazy is in the middle of all this the answer of the liberals is to raise taxes so you have everybody who's productive who has resources who pays taxes beginning to leave and instead of trying to figure out how to keep them they're actually going to accelerate the transition out of the blue states to the states that are run overwhelmingly by republicans i mean you've never seen a clearer contrast between a high tax big bureaucracy unionized machine system in all of these states run by democratic governors and a free enterprise small business entrepreneurship low tax system as we're seeing in most almost all the republican states and the result is exactly what human nature tells you it would be people leave the pain they go to the pleasure and the migration is just going to continue okay so now the question is do blue states get smart because in new york they're now proposing the largest tax increases in the history of any state in terms of income taxes and bureaucracy on top of what new york city is adding to the state which would bring now the federal income tax level under biden to 40 percent 15 new york state and city that's 55 cents out of every dollar then the highest property taxes in the country okay how how dumb am i if i do stay here i would argue i'm pretty dumb sean on your show i am about to write a letter saying bye bye new york well look i i because of my great affection for you i don't want to contradict you so if you want to say you're really dumb for staying i certainly don't want to disagree with that friendship you're like my older brother thank you i really appreciate it but here's what's fascinating you've got in new york and in california the two biggest uh democratic states you have newsome in real trouble they've qualified the recall today and i happen to know that uh he's right on the cusp of losing and has been steadily losing ground for the last couple months in new york with somebody like lee zeldin running you're going to have a lower tax small business oriented job-creating pro-police candidate and this may be the best chance republicans have to pick up the governorship in new york since governor pataki won back in 1994. so the very interesting changes underway i was just told today for example that the number two issue now in the new york mayor's race is crime and it's rising steadily and we're back in a pre-giuliani disastrous area of crime and as that sinks in the combination of crime being anti-police being pro-criminal being for huge bureaucracies that don't work and raising taxes real quick that could come together in a way that it's very you think do you think uh lee zeldin or rob astorino could win in new york and uh rick rennell or caitlyn jenner could win in california i don't i don't know if i see it well i certainly think that in new york you have a real opportunity now because you have such a clear case of the system breaking down particularly in new york city i think in california the odds are pretty remember the recall is yes or no if if newsom is under 50 percent he's gone he's not in the runoff and at that point there will be a new governor and the odds are pretty good it'll be a republican all right mr speaker thank you for being with us hey sean hannity here hey click here to subscribe to fox
