NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Laura Ingraham welcomed former Speaker of the House and Fox News collaborator Newt Gingrich on December 17 to discuss the automobile industry and the condition of the economy under the Biden administration.

The host began the segment by saying that Donald Trump was correct in his stance that the obsession with electronic vehicles would "drive auto industry to the ground."

Gingrich, in his turn, stated, "The problem with Biden, and his whole re-election effort, is reality. Every time you turn around, left-wing policies fail. This is a perfect example."

Newt Gingrich's remarks on the condition of the automobile industry

"They have this crazy that you can somehow force the American people to buy a vehicle that they don't want, using technology that they don't trust, and systems that at times don't work," he explained.

"For some people, electric vehicles may be great. But for most people, they are not."

Gingrich felt that corporate leaders have been "coerced" by the government to impose the technology upon Americans, who are reacting by rejecting it.

"That is why I hear auto dealers talking about how many cars they have sitting on their lot that are electric, that they literally can't move because people don't want to buy them."

Newt Gingrich shares his 'Walmart Test'

When Ingraham proceeded to the topic of the economy, claiming that it was failing to the point where even union workers were shifting towards the Republican, Gingrich mentioned how he used to gauge the market back when he was running for election.

"I used to follow what I called the 'Walmart Test,'" he said, explaining, "You go stand outside of a Walmart, and you ask people what they're really thinking, what they were really doing."

"I guarantee you that the average person shopping at Walmart today does not believe that Biden has been good for their pocketbook, does not believe that prices have gone down, does not believe that they should be grateful for the current economy," he added. "All the polling data reinforce that (claim)."

"In the real world, with real people, it just ain't working," concluded Gingrich.
