NEWT GINGRICH (GUEST): If you watch what they're doing in the House, they're doing two things. They're ramming through every radical piece of legislation they can, I think on the assumption that they think they're going to lose the House in 2022, so they've only have two years to get their agenda through.

Second, they're going to try to rig the game, which is what HR-1 is, it's the -- rig the game to re-elect Democrats no matter what. I think it's going to fail, it's a terrible bill and it's a bill which guarantees the opportunity to steal elections on a grand scale.
