Former Newt Gingrich House President told Hannity that Democrats were in anger and offering “without a solution”, rejecting the demand of the leader of the minority minority Hakeem Jeffies, Dn.y., that the Republicans were “on the run”. Gingrich said the left resorts to extreme tactics in an effort to resist President Donald Trump And they are opposed to the efforts of Elon Musk to reduce government consumption.
Newt Gingrich: Well, I think that everything you showed earlier reflects what Lincoln said in Gettysburg when he said, this is a test if this system or any system could survive so much of it. You have a hard group that believes they have right to be violentTo have the right to deny the American people the choice of their leadership, to have the right to violate the law. The answer to all this is, honestly, you have to lock them. You have to implement the law. Period. And at some point, people begin to realize that you cannot wage war against the entire American people. And in that sense, I would claim that Elon Musk is simply one of the people who serve the American people. He is a senior advisor to the president of the United States. And I think that in that sense, all this is completely unacceptable, such as the harassment of the Supreme Court’s justice or harassment of vice president and his three -year -old.

What I saw the other night … Democrats were a kind of zombie of democrats. They couldn’t applaud anything. They could not greet the president. They could not applaud a 13-year-old survivor cancer. They could not greet the young man who wanted to go to West Point. They could not applaud the people who were there who lost their loved ones. It was pretty bizarre. And I think, you know, Hakeem Jeffries might think he has to say those things. He is their leader. What will they say? But the fact is that Democrats do not have solutions right now. They are so angry that Trump is actually changing what, mostly, Americans believe it is a corrupt system. I’ll just give you one part of the data. Our American new majority project has just been released yesterday. 82% of the American people believe the system is corrupt. Now that is dangerous. Both for the survival of freedom. But he also tells the fact that Democrats, who want to defend bureaucracy and corruption and waste, will have a large mountain to climb.
Newt Gingrich: How did the Democrats of the House become a zombie

Gingrich recalled that when he was president of the house in 1996, he and other Republicans welcomed then President Bill Clinton.
Gingrich: Look, I had the opposite experience. I was the speaker of the house, sitting behind Bill Clinton when he got up in ’96 and said, the Era of the Great Government was over. Now I had to get up and clap. I mean, how can you not greet it if you are conservative? You’re right. And so, all this and all the years I went through – whether they were Reagan, Carter, George Hw, Clinton – and the whole time I left, I do not remember the Republicans ever managed to advocate the president because we are advocating for the office. We don’t stand for the individual. We are advocating for the chosen official of the American people. And I think not to do so, it begins to show alienation that is very dangerous.
Top 5 moments from Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress
CNN senior political analyst Ron Brownstein said on Monday that the Democratic Party was in its weakest position since the 1980s, while the party continues to determine its best path forward.
“If you talk to Democrats, you know, they recognize that they are in the hole. I mean, the Party picture is probably in a weaker position than at any time since I think in the 1980s, Reagan and George Hw Bush Era,” Brownstein said CNN -ov Audie Cornish.

“But if you ask Democrats how they think they will come back, there is a debate about, you know, inside the party, do you fight on every front or focus on economic questions? And I think most Democrats believe that their best chance is to get a second look from the public in 2025.
Cornish and Brownstein talked about the Federal Government’s financing period on Friday, as Cornish said that GOP legislators hope to compensate for the reduction of taxes in the federal budget and that “the probable goal could be Medicaid”. Democratic legislators claimed that the GOP proposed a proposal for the Law on Reducing Medicara and Medicaid.

Brownstein claimed that the Democratic Party could relate an argument that the GOP would reduce Medicaid to fund the reduction in taxes for the rich budget and that it could be their best strategy in 2025.
