Newt Gingrich: These Biden remarks were ‘really frightening’

>> Bill: PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYING HE WILL RELEASE 30 MILLION BARRELS OF OIL FROM THE STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE CLAIMING, HE SAYS, IT WILL HELP EASE THE SQUEEZE OF SURGING GAS PRICES. >> President Biden: THESE STEPS WILL HELP BLUNT GAS PRICES HERE AT HOME BUT I KNOW NEWS ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING CAN SEEM ALARMING TO ALL AMERICANS. BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW WE'RE GOING TO BE OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO BE OKAY. WHEN THE HISTORY OF THIS ERA IS WRITTEN PUTIN'S WAR IN UKRAINE WILL HAVE LEFT RUSSIA WEAKER AND THE REST OF THE WORLD STRONGER. >> Bill: AAA TELLS US THAT GAS IS AT 3.66 A GALLON, UP 4 CENTS SINCE YESTERDAY AND MORE THAN 30 CENTS FROM A MONTH AGO. FORMER HOUSE SPEAKER NEWT GINGRICH AND FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR. NICE TO SEE YOU IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL. THE CITY THAT TIME FORGOT. I CAME BACK TO WASHINGTON, D.C. THE MANDATES ARE GONE NOW. THAT'S A GOOD THING. HOW ARE WE SITUATED RIGHT NOW? HOW IS OUR STRATEGY? >> WELL, WE DON'T HAVE A STRATEGY. I THINK YOU HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO -- I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY FRIGHTENING AFTER I WATCHED THE WHOLE THING AND THOUGHT ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE BECAUSE EITHER HE KNOWS HE IS LYING, AND SO HE GOES AND GIVES A SPEECH THE WHOLE WORLD IS WAFRPG IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR AND GIVES IT ANYWAY KNOWING IT'S A LIE OR HE DOESN'T KNOW HE IS LYING, WHICH MAY BE MORE FRIGHTENING. HE MAY BELIEVE THIS STUFF. THE THING YOU JUST SAID, HE IS RELEASING 1 1/2 DAYS OIL SUPPLY FOR THE UNITED STATES. 1 1/2 DAYS. THE WORLD MARKET IS VERY SOPHISTICATED. THE PRICE WENT UP BECAUSE THEY SAID IT ISN'T A STRATEGY. HE TOLD US HE COULD AFFORD TO BUY AN ELECTRIC CAR SAVING $80 A MONTH AT THE GAS STATION. THE AVERAGE PERSON TRYING TO GET TO WORK PAYING -- WE WERE IN LOS ANGELES LAST WEEK AND IT WAS LIKE WE SAW A PLACE 6.60 FOR PREMIUM. THAT PERSON DRIVING A USED CAR TRYING TO GET TO WORK IS NOT GOING TO FEEL HELPED. IF ONLY THEY COULD BUY AN ELECTRIC CAR WHICH USES ELECTRIC TRIS TREE WHICH CALIFORNIA DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH OF. IT'S CRAZY. >> Dana: WHAT ABOUT THE NATIONAL SECURITY ANGLE? YOU KNOW THE ALL OF THE ABOVE ENERGY STRATEGY WHICH MAKES SENSE. THERE WAS NOTHING LAST NIGHT THAT WOULD TELL YOU THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS EUROPE HAS DONE OVER THE PAST 25 YEARS. >> YOU HAVE TO ASSUME THAT PEOPLE LIKE JOHN KERRY WANT US TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES. IF WE WORK HARD WE, TOO, CAN BECOME GERMANY AND FRANCE AND IN A SENSE WE ALREADY HAVE. YOU HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO IN THE MIDDLE OF TRYING TO PRESSURE PUTIN IS BEGGING PUTIN TO PUMP MORE OIL WHEN OIL IS THE LARGEST SINGLE SOURCE OF REVENUE FOR RUSSIA. SO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TRUMP PRICE AT $46 A BARREL AND I THINK IT WAS $107 LAST NIGHT, 111 THIS MORNING. THE DIFFERENCE IS MORE THAN PAYING FOR THE WAR. YOU CAN TALK ABOUT ALL THESE SANCTIONS BUT ALL PUTIN HAS TO DO IS LOOK AT THE BANK ACCOUNT AND EVERY MORNING THE U.S. IS BUYING MORE RUSSIAN OIL. >> Bill: SENATOR MCCONNELL IS COMING UP AND SEE IF THERE IS A CRACK IN THAT POLICY MOMENTARILY. BACK TO LAST NIGHT THIS IS A MOMENT I'M SURE THAT YOU AND REPUBLICANS WOULD LIKE TO HEAR. CALL FOR NUMBER ONE. WATCH. >> President Biden: LET'S COME TOGETHER TO PROTECT OUR COMMUNITIES, RESTORE TRUST AND HOLD LAW ENFORCEMENT ACCOUNTABLE. THE ANSWER IS NOT TO DEFUND THE POLICE. IT IS TO FUND THE POLICE. [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] FUND THEM. >> Bill: WHEN HE WAS IN NEW YORK ABOUT A MONTH AGO HE SAID SOMETHING SIMILAR. YOU LOOK AT THE POLLING AND DEMOCRATS ARE GETTING HAMMERED ON THIS ISSUE REGARDING CRIME. I IMAGINE YOU AGREE WITH WHAT HE HAD TO SAY AT THAT POINT. >> I DO. I WAS THE SPEAKER WHEN BILL CLINTON CAME IN AND ANNOUNCED THE ERA OF BIG GOVERNMENT IS OVER. SO THAT'S GREAT. IN CLINTON'S CASE WE HELD HIM TO IT. SO PROBABLY KEVIN MCCARTHY AND MITCH MCCONNELL OUGHT TO INTRODUCE A BILL MONDAY TO FUND THE POLICE AND CHALLENGE PLACES LIKE SEATTLE AND PORTLAND TO ACTUALLY HIRE ENOUGH POLICE AND SEE WHETHER OR NOT BIDEN IS FOR IT. >> Bill: DANA TALKS ABOUT THIS A LOT. RHETORICAL LIFT. SHE REFERS TO IT IN SPEECHES. AND WHAT YOU JUST MENTIONED IS SOMETHING FROM THE MID-90s THAT EVERYONE WHO FOLLOWS POLITICAL HISTORY CAN RECALL. THE ERA OF BIG GOVERNMENT IS OVER. WHY WAS HE INCAPABLE OF DELIVERING A MEMORABLE LINE LIKE THAT AT SUCH A CRITICAL POINT FOR THE COUNTRY AND FOR THE WORLD? >> FIRST OF ALL HE IS NOT BILL CLINTON. THIS IS A GUY WHO CAN'T GIVE A GOOD SPEECH UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE AND AS HE GETS OLDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES GET SMALLER. SO BIDEN IS NOT A VERY GOOD SPEECH MAKER. SECOND, CLINTON MADE A REAL STRATEGIC DECISION. HE DECIDED AFTER WE WON IN 1994, HE DECIDED IN A BIG FIGHT WITH HIS STAFF THAT HE WAS GOING TO BECOME A CENTRIST. DICK MORRIS HELPED INVENT IT. YOU HAD GINGRICH AND REPUBLICANS OVER HERE, PART OF THE DEMOCRATS HERE AND BILL CLINTON IN THE MIDDLE. THE LEFT HATED IT. THE LEFT -- ONE OF THE BURDENS HILLARY HAS CARRIED EVER SINCE. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ARE TRIANGULATING >> Dana: DID THE PRESIDENT DO ANYTHING LAST NIGHT TO HELP HIS FALLING POLL NUMBERS WITH INDEPENDENTS AND SUBURBAN WOMEN? >> IT MAY BE MY BIAS BUT I THOUGHT THE DAMAGE THAT NANCY PELOSI DID SITTING BEHIND HIM LOOKING LIKE AN OVER EAGER CHEERLEADING JUMPING UP AND DOWN TOWARD THE END SHE IS MANIC. IT IS BIZARRE. >> Dana: THERE WAS A MEMO THAT WENT OUT ABOUT A LOT OF CHEERS AND APPLAUSE. 91 APPLAUSE LINES LAST NIGHT. >> THE ONE LINE SCHUMER STARTS TO GET UP AND IS OFF SCRIPT. >> Dana: YOU WERE PAYING ATTENTION. >> I WANTED TO BE PREPARED WHEN I WAS WITH YOU GUYS. >> Dana: THANK YOU
