no necessarily gingrich's strong suit. because of that i think it exacerbated the tensions in the party and led some republicans to question his ability to lead past the first couple of years of his speakership. and so those elements of his personality, i think, made it -- contributed to the relatively short nature of his tenure. had he been a different kind of leader or acted differently after the first two years, then possibly we might have seen gingrich last longer as speaker. >> host: john boehner reaply said after the government shutdown that he didn't really want to do it but he saw where his members were going. >> guest: right. and this is an example of the difficulty that boehner himself -- personally is in with a lot of members who are strong opinions, strong views and at that time really believed this was their one source of leverage to try to get the policy outcomes they wanted from president obama, was to use the instruments at their dispostal, like the debt limit and budget more generally. the danger is -- so

gingrich had the same problem. it was a difficult situation for anyone. no matter who the speaker was. there was another more personal aspect with gingrich and he was the kind of speaker who believes in being the general, the leader of the troops and the things i mentioned earlier is not necessarily his strong suit. because of that i think it exacerbated the tensions that were going on in the party and for some republicans to question his leadership. those elements of his personality contributed to the relatively short nature of his tenure. if he had acted differently after the last few years and possibly we might've seen gingrich last longer than he did. >> john boehner recently talked about the government shutdown. he didn't really want to do it. >> write this as an example of the difficulty that he felt personally within with a lot of members who had opinions and strong views and at that time really believed this was their one source of leverage to try to get the policy that they wanted from president obama. the danger is, in that respect, he was doing

caller: i went european on newt gingrich.e worked with bill clinton and did some good things that when he runs for president, he was vilified. i wanted to get your comment. dayt: i could talk all about it gingrich, a fascinating character. host: did you interview him for the book? you did talk to jim wright, correct? guest: yes. i did not speak to newt gingrich for the book. very effective as a speaker, particularly in the first year of speakership in the first 100 days, as contra promised of legislation. it was quite remarkable what he could get through the house of representatives. that did not mean that he was not disliked by democrats. was in the republican minority in the 1980's, 1970's, 1990's and he helped bring down jim wright, the speaker in the 1980's. a lot of democrats really disliked him intensely. you can still be an effective speaker but also be one that the other party does not care for. i think the other issue is a takes a different set of skills to be a good speaker versus a good president and a set of skill

peter: good newt gingrich's -- could newt gingrich's speakership have been longer? mr. green: historical counterfactual's are always difficult. there was a way in which gingrich always had a similar problem to speaker boehner, which is a fairly large group of new, young members. this is not unusual, both parties have had this. they come in, they are seles, -- they are zealous, have a feeling they can change things. invariably, that group, or members of it, start to get disillusioned. they feel that things that they were elected on aren't getting done. and they begin to challenge the speaker. the happened with albert in 1970's and in many ways happened with speaker boehner. with gingrich, he had a similar problem. in many ways, it would have been a difficult situation for anyone. a more personal aspect, i would say, is that gingrich is the kind of speaker who believed in being a general, the leader of the troops that folks would follow. the thing i mentioned earlier about listening and understanding where members are coming from was not necessarily gingrich's strong suit

al gore and his team would have been talking about gingrich republican, the gingrich congress, the gingrich congress had team owith bush. the republican party has a 29z% approval rating in the latest poll i've seen. their disapproval rating is massive if you look at the congress itself in the '80s that has a drag on the republican brand. it has a drag on the republican party and going to have a drag on any republican presidential nominee that finally getsz through the crazy process. >> last question back to where i started. is being speaker of the house the worst job in washington right now? >> if you run scared, if you play scared it is a horrible job. if you are a strong leader and willing to take everybody on and brick them in saying hey i'm on your side but not going to let you drive this car over the cliff, i don't have to be part of awe politically assisted suicide to prove i'm a true conservative, basically drop dead if you'll accuse me of being a rino or a squish. it's the same thing being president of the united states. nobody could be president, what was too big after lbj failed a

host: could newt gingrich's speakership have been longer? mr. green: historical counter fact use are always difficult. it's hard to say if it could have been longer. there was a way in which gingrich had a somewhat similar problem with speaker boehner which is a fairly large group of new young members who -- this is not unusual, both parties have had this. they come in, they are a little zealous, they have a sense that they know how to fix things, and at first that creates tremendous enthusiasm and energy, which is useful to the majority party. but invariably that group or members of it start to get disillusioned. they see the things they got elected on are not being done then they become challenge for a speaker. again, this happened to carl albert in the 1970's. this happened in many ways what's happened to speaker boehner. with gingrich he had the same problem. so to some extent it was a difficult situation for anyone. would have been difficult, no matter who the speaker was. but there was another more personal aspect to it which is that gingr

>> there is wisdom in what gingrich said undo things they put in place when he was there. from freedom caucus want the ability to have unlimited amendments brought forward on the floor of the house of representatives but that is like the senate and it guarantees you turn control of the house of representatives to the democrats. the rules are meant to keep the majority strength together. a problem is we have some members who have been tossed off because they were on a budget committee and no democrat will vote for a republican budget resolution and a congressman had input and voted against the republican position with nancy pelosi so the desire -- you cannot have if that structure say, well, everyone can do everything they want even if it means you are voting with 19 employees. -- with nancy pelosi. >> next, the administration gives up on the plan to train syrian rebels and russia continues to expand the military role in. what do you think? how should the united states spend to some's -- russia's spend to some's -- russia's escalation? ♪ it's the final countdown! ♪ ♪ the fi
