Trey Gowdy predicts Biden will cause Democrats to lose the House

let's bring in our panel early tonight harold ford jr former tennessee congressman ceo of empowerment inclusion capital molly hemingway senior editor at the federalist and trey gowdy former congressman from south carolina molly as you look at the potential of what's already signed and what's proposed you have the american rescue plan at 1.9 trillion dollars american jobs plan 2.65 trillion dollars american families plan 1.8 trillion dollars there you have 6.35 trillion with a t that would potentially if past go out in an environment where the economy seems to be picking up steam thoughts on tonight's speech and when you give a state of the union or an address like this it's frequently something that politicians will lie or they'll exaggerate but they're somewhat constrained by the facts on the ground and even 100 days in joe biden doesn't really have a great set of facts for tonight i just rewatched president trump's speech last year that was a speech that was very optimistic that talked about the blue collar boom wage growth for african americans young people women energy independents factories coming back foreign policy successes you know people thought trump was going to lead to nuclear annihilation instead peace was breaking out all over and we were conquering our enemies the strike on suleimani and baghdadi and just a general optimism about america america being back for average people not for dc not for the media elite but for average people it almost seems like it came from a different country just a hundred days in joe biden has had embarrassing foreign policy gaps like what were just referenced with china with russia with iran you know he he continued president trump's warp speed but didn't really you know we're still having children not in school the economy for people who are average americans is not doing well uh you know it's doing fine if you're elite and he's proposing some real economy crushing ideas in terms of dragging the economy down so unless he's using a completely alternate set of facts he's somewhat constrained by the you know just the bad news that we have in the country right now harold years ago bill clinton gave a state of the union address i believe it was 1996 and said the era of big government is over that would not be fitting to what this speech is tonight and it may be kicking up again the era of big government is back well thanks for having me the era of smart and big government needs to come back uh i think every president when giving uh and we'll say she one day when he gives a state of the union has to be positive has to lay out a vision and here's where we are infection rates hospitalization rates death rates are down vaccinations are at 3 million a day we're going to be able to reopen our economy sure there's a little friction there's old tension in the system with conspiracy theorists and others making arguments but we are making progress as we move forward we have to ensure that we are prepared for anything that comes our way i think this president's going to lay out a plan whether it's china or new covet the investments he's choosing and intending to make will enable us to get past the mindless tribal politics and find a path that not only unleashes the ability to create bipartisan solutions but ensures that we can compete and win against any foe be it china or new cobot that's what i look to here tonight that's true anticipate hearing tonight harold talks about mindless tribal politics but there's politics here and democrats have so far been able to herd the cats and stay on one page as far as how the administration sees it and what they want to get done quickly washington post ashley parker writes so far republicans have struggled in their attempts to vilify president biden or paint him as out of touch big government socialist a move by senator ted cruz to depict biden as boring but radical fell flat so are republicans able to sing from the same sheet of music here in response uh you you wouldn't think so based on the reporting coming out of their retreat in florida but but but republicans should should take hope for this reason i mean joe biden is doing what they tell you to do in politics which is talk reasonably but actually legislate and govern as a progressive but he talks reasonably the net result is going to be he may be fine in two years but because of court packing and because of this social infrastructure and because of other initiatives hr1 he's going to lose the house so congratulations people really like you but they don't like the house and you're going to lose the house and whatever you want to do you're not going to be able to do for the remainder of your time in president that's the trade-off he has molly we mentioned tim scott in his response a couple excerpts just here's another one just before covet we had the most inclusive economy in my lifetime that happened because republicans focused on expanding opportunity for all americans we passed opportunity zones criminal justice reform permanent funding for historically black colleges and universities for the first time ever we fought the drug academic rebuilt our military cut taxes for working families and single moms like mine he says our best future won't come from washington schemes or socialist dreams it will come from you the american people it's often tough to do a response to any state of the union or joint address tonight's a little different in the covid situation but that's part of the message he'll he'll give it's tough but tim scott is someone that people are very interested in i think they're excited to hear from him and it kind of relates to what i was saying he has the benefit of good facts when the republicans were running things or when trump was running things things were doing very well contrary to what the media claim about joe biden he's actually more divisive statistically speaking than even donald trump was he's a polarizing figure his agenda has been radical or as cnn called it radical moderation or something like that moderate radicalism uh it's not popular with the american people there are crises on the border there's this profligate spending you know he thinks the country is a racist dystopic hell hole people don't like to hear about this and he's governing as if he had majorities that he clearly doesn't have and this is a problem in the real world even if the media are doing as much to help him as they did to tear down donald trump quickly harold i doubt we will hear the three words racist dystopic hellhole but in this speech you think it's going to be an optimistic tone going forward joe biden's entire political career has been predicated on bringing people together finding compromise some will argue that the first bill the coveted relief bill was something he did alone with just democrats and that's probably right he campaigned on that this the the next phase of his presidency trey is right the next phase of his presidency is going to depend heavily on finding compromise and what better rebuttal for the white house than to have tim scott an honorable decent person who's ready to help lead on police accountability reform i look forward to both of their speeches tonight
