sean: and we continue now with former speaker of the house newt gingrich. mr. speaker, at this press conference that the president held the other night the issue came up of harvard professor henry louis gates jr., and the president literally said not having bee there, not having seen all the facts, and then he goes on to say that the cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting this professor. i've taken the time, and i've read the police reports from the arresting officer and a corroborating report from another officer, and i don't see that these police officers did anything wrong. the president was given the day after. go ahead. >> i was going to say two things, one of which may really surprise you. when i first became speaker, i made a number of big mistakes because i didn't realize that when you're speaker, you're no longer just one of the guys, and you can't just have an idea, and you've got to be pretty careful about what you say. i think this is a good learning opportunity for the president to realize that when he doesn't know something, he shouldn't say

here you are with president obama and newt gingrich. that's quite a threesome there. are you friendly with newt? >> it's funny, newt and i don't disagree with much, we probably won't agree that i was on your show tonight. but we do agree that the education gap in this country must be dealt with. >> he wants it to get wider? >> no. he wants to increase the level of educational opportunity. he wants to be -- to deal with the fact, look at detroit, where we have only a third of the students getting a high school diploma. this is an american problem. the president talked about structural inequality. and what we're doing is trying to pull from conservatives and liberals to come together and say it's an american problem. when you have other nations producing more engineers and producing more people from an educational point of view, just strictly based on education than we are, there's a focus that needs to happen from all over the world and particularly in communities of color and poor communities where we're not getting the right balance. so we have asked people to really

[captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- greta:ç now, for part two with our interview with secretary hillary clinton from mumbai, india, about the dangerous nuclear program in india. do you have a timetable? çthe north koreans apparently o not have a delivery system for a nuclear weapon at all. how much time do we have with the sanctions? with the increased pressure by the world community? before they will have a delivery system? any idea? >> well, i think we have time. i do not want to put numbers of years on it, but we have time. their program is not that advance, not that sophisticated, in our assessment, and it is not only what they might do, but it is what others might do in reaction to what they might do, and i think neither china nor we want to see japan feel the necessity to move in that direction

greta: coming up, much more with speaker gingrich. what does he think between today's explosion between the cia and the democrats? there is transparency and there is waste. the white house is about to spend $18 million on something that we are afraid will set some of you on fire. remember, we are always the messenger on this. you all want to run your businesses more efficiently, so we've brought in a team of experts to help. one suggestion is to make your shipping more efficient with priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service. call or go online for a free supply and up to $160 in offers from authorized postage vendors. shipping's a hassle! weighing every box... actually, with flat rate boxes you don't need to weigh anything under 70 pounds. if it fits, it ships for a low flat rate. ok, but i ship all over the country. you can ship anywhere in the country for a low flat rate. ship international, too. yes, but i ship hundreds of things, in all sizes. great, because flat rate boxes come in four sizes. call and we'll send a fre

what is speaker gingrich think about the democrats' plan? -- health-careç wars.you think of the three different plans that are sort of a weaving their way through congress? >> the one and the house makes no sense at all. it has no reform of costs -- the one in the house makes no sense at all. it will kill jobs. an economy moving towards 10% and unemployment, where the federal reserve board last thursday that we only have four years with no net new jobs, think about that. five years trapped at 8%, 9%, 10% unemployment is no net new jobs -- to further crÈche the economy -- on a planet with no net new jobs. -- unemployment with no net new jobs -- to further crash the economy. greta: is this sort of the thinking? >> i do not know what the thinking is. i do know that the administration, at the director of the budget, admitted yesterday that there is $239 billion of deficit in the bill that they are not counting, and that is because theyç are payig the doctors and others. i do know that the director of the congressional budget office testified in the senate that not o

lebron to gingrich, the correct american policy towards iran should be about special ops and midnight raids and sabotagy. not exactly bombing iran's iran's oil refineries. quote, i called for sabotage, not bombing. fundamental difference. the only purpose of sabotaging them would be to create a gasoline-led crisis to try to replace the regime. i'm against using tactics that don't have any strategic meaning. where mr. lewis says, you precipitate by provoking a gas crisis by black ops sabotage. and gingrich suggested iran has only the one gas refinery, which he and rambo would have to sabotagy and someone had to break it to him that it actually has nine refineries. the runner-up, the right-wing media. when the state used the public records request to get e-mails sent to and from the governor mark sanford while he was hiking the old appalachian trail, e-mails from news conservative outlets trying to suck up to sanford from a right wing tv host. having known the governor for years and even worked with him wheld host radio shows for me, i find this story and the media frenzy surrounding it

let's bring in newt gingrich asked him about this. so mr.he president and skip gates answered your colleague the arresting officer, does this make it all go away? >> it doesn't make it all go away, but i think it's frankly pretty classy on the president's part. he made a mistake. it's pretty clear he knows he made a mistake or did i think that when you get a call from the president of united states faces look, why did you come to the white house, let's get together, i think that's a pretty nice way to say that he is sorry for having focused on the sergeant, and i think we have a new president, who has come from state senator u.s. senate to the presidency in four years, he is going to occasionally make a mistake. and the faster he can recognize it and can back off, i think the better off it is for the country and the better off it is for the future of his presidency speak three what's wrong with just coming out -- i don't understand is what politicians and help me understand this because you spent a lot of time in washington and you know it.

or vice versa, both for democratic president like bill clinton and ends up with newt gingrich. that's a policy concern. it particularly, these things are totally exogenous and random. it's a temptation for someone to try to affect massive regime change, if that person knows that by wiping out the president and vice president, policy could shift decisively from one clinical party to another, really undermine what the american people thought they were voting for when they voted for president. and that's not just a hypothetical. that's happened in american history. even sometimes with valid tickets between president and vice president, you can affect a certain kind of regime change if you shift presidential power from abraham lincoln to andrew johnson or from one branch as john wilkes booth did, or from one branch of the republican party, james garfield to a different branch, chester arthur. when garfield assassin proudly announces that he's attempting regime change as he is being tackled to the ground at union station. is said i am a stallworth and garfield will be a president. a

you have seen those numbers with people like hillary clinton and newt gingrich in the past.his makes it difficult to win a general election. there is a certain divisiveness around her even if she is popular with the republican base. greta: am i wrong that these numbers are consistent for romney, governor palin, mike huckabee, but newt gingrich is inching up? >> there is, he has had a lot to say about health care reform, the stimulus, a lot of these issues going on in washington now. he travels around. he is definitely a presence. he clearly decided not to make the run in 2008 but might be preparing for 2012. greta: he talks about solutions wherever he goes. that is a catchy slogan. >> the group he founded after leaving office was solutions for america. he did a lot of it in 2008 and decided not to run. he could definitely be a contender. right now, the star of the party is indeed palin. every republican party in every state in america would like to have her come to their state to go to a fund raiser. she is really sucking up a lot of oxygen in the republican field right now.

newt gingrich says he knows why. some say that the press took sides against sarah palin. it is the second stimulus package coming? $787 billion later, some democrats say we need another one to save the economy. republicans see this as a midterm election rallying cry. who is right? we have senator richard shelby with me in washington who is the ranking republican on the senate banking committee. he opposes any talk of stimulus. i remember what you said about the first >> list. you said it was a disgrace. i can only imagine what you think about this. -- i remember what you said about the first stimulus. >> the stimulus that we put together, most of the money has not even been spent. the stimulus has not been implemented yet. now they are talking about another one. i think that this is a dumb idea. it will not work. most economists would say that we don't need a stimulus. even the washingto"the washingt" questioned the idea of another stimulus. they said this would be the third stimulus because we had a stimulus of some kind under bush and then the big one under obama. now t

he's the author of some 40 books including six i believe he co-authored with newt gingrich? >> yes. >> and his most recent book is "one second after." it was also -- it is a novel but it is also being made into a motion picture from warner brothers. its subject is america after an electromagnetic pulse attack. thank you for being here. it's a pleasure to see you. i'm afraid there are many people who do not know what an electromagnetic pulse attackñrs would be. maybe we start with you explaining that. >> sure. emp is shorthand for electromagnetic pulse. it's a byproduct of any detonation of a nuclear weapon. first realized with some testing in the '60s. i know this sounds like sci-fi so you in the audience, folks watching this later, if this sounds like sci-fi, this evening go on the internet, google up emp, go to wikipedia, here's a couple of other things you should look up. starfish crime which was the american test in 1962 of detonating a weapon in space which blew out a fair part of the power grid in hawaii. also look up soviet test 184. and then finally if you want to lo

and new to gingrich can agree that we -- if al sharpton and newt gingrich can agree that we need to solve the education problem, we can agree. those two came into my office. i had to do a double take.

[applause] every child in this country -- the best education in the world has to offer, from the cradle through career. that is our responsibility as leaders. that is the responsibility of the united states of america. and all of us in government have to work to do our part of not only offering more resources but demanding more reform. when it comes to education, we have got to get past this old paradigm, this outdated notion that somehow it is just money. were somehow, it just reform, but no money. embrace what dr. king called the both/and philosophy. we need more money and we need more reform. when it comes to higher education, we are making colleg

and let me say this, if al sharpton, mike bloomberg, and newt gingrich can agree we need to solve the education problem, then that's something all of america can agree we can solve. those guys came into my office. they're sitting in the oval office, i kept on doing a double take. but that's a sign of progress and it is a sign of the urgency of the education problem. all of us can agree, we need to offer every child in this country, every child, every child. every child in this country. the best education the world has to offer. from cradle through a career. that's our responsibility as leaders. that's the responsibility of the united states of america. and we, all of us in government, have to work to do our part. by not only offering more resources, but also demanding more reform. when it comes to education, we've got to get past this old paradigm, this outdated notion that somehow it's just money. or somehow it's just reform but no money. and embrace what dr. king called the both and philosophy. we need more money and we need more reform. when it comes to higher education, we're maki

>sean: what can we learn from the ronald reagan motto or from newt gingrich and the contract with americahe ronald reaganç mod? transformative, that impact republicans in their direction today? -- that can impact republicans? >> with reagan, he was elected for the first time in 1984. when president reagan was reelected and started moving to the conservative spectrum -- in 1994, senator mcconnell masterminded a special election victory in kentucky that came before newt gingrich and the congressional republicans beat out the democrats in the gej)al election in the fall. the lessons that can be learned there are, i think, you have got to have a clear set of principles, and you have got to pursue them consistently, and i think that is what you are seeing. if you have watched mitch mcconnell recently on the senate floor, he is hitting obama almost every day on those big issues, and debts, national security issues, things like guantÁnamo -- on those big issues, debts, national security issues. sean: your book goes into a lot of detail about it. how important is it that they have a positive age

she has power that newt gingrich would have killed for because she's stuff and disciplined and ruleshat place with an iron fist and has the chairman the wants and the position she wants and gets what she wants and people fear her and seem to respect her. she's totally unpopular especially with republicans and with a lot of democrats but she seems comfortable letting her own moderate democrats take shots at her. >> charlie: they like her more than they love her? but she couldn't get it done with merta. >> but got everything else. got waxman in the key position and knows how to maneuver and use the institution. >> charlie: what's the core of competence. >> it's an understanding of how power works. if you look at rom emanuel why was he so successful? the understand congress and the needs of members. why was tom delay effective he understand the power of fear and what members need. she learned that and watched it and been in leadership and becomes speaker and applies all of that and puts the other people who she knows have the same understanding and passion around her and it's worked for

then there is my former colleague, speaker of the house newt gingrich. newt has remade himself at least three times. there is three additions of gingrich and he always gets particularly vocal just like the vice president, who has got a book coming out. got a book coming out, put me on everything, and of course with the vice president we -- those those -- there are groups in the democratic party who have been accused of helping him get time to get on, because as a guy who couldn't get above about 15% popularity when he wasn't hiding somewhere and claiming he's not in the administration, this is our kind of guy and, oh, don't forget steele, the chairman of the republican party, who has not gotten off one consistent speech ever since he became the chairman. i mean, the whole thing -- i don't know who is left around there. with an organization going down the drain and with these kind of leaders coming forward to regain control, we got a couple of family values men that got caught, whose, i won't mention their names or what they did, because you know already,

gretchen: we're back with former house speaker newt gingrich.fore the break about the impact that this health care reform bill will have on small businesses in america when we're already facing 9.5% unemployment rate, and a lot of small businesses were thinking maybe we'll get a bailout. nope, instead they're going to get hit over the head, right? >> well, it's hard to understand what the liberal democrats are thinking. the federal reserve warned yesterday that unemployment will go to 10% or more. even more sobering, the federal reserve said that we may have no net new jobs for the next five years. we may be stuck at 8 or 9 or 10% unemployment. now, in that kind of environment, i would think that we would want to create the fastest possible growth rate for jobs, which is what you have to do starting with small business because they create most of the new jobs. this new house democratic health bill adds billions and billions of dollars of cost to small businesses, guarantees the small businesses are not going to create any new jobs, increases the

alisyn: geraldo rivera and newt gingrich weigh in. in a holding cell. did the punishment fit the crime? was the treatment of the kids excessive? as always we have an explosive fair and balanced debate coming up this hour. brian. brian: the new york guy reads the jersey story. 44 people including mayors, assemblymen, and rabbis charged with laundering money to selling kidneys. our slogan this hour comes to us from south carolina. america take heed to this warning. don't miss "fox & friends" in the morning. [captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- >> you're watching my favorite show, "fox & friends." brian: who was that? do we know? alisyn: hi, everybody. brian: sarah hoots, miss hooters international. steve: oh, is that who that was? geraldo rivera is joining us. geraldo, come on over and sit on the call. ali's going to do some news. >> hi, honey. where's gretchen, on vacation? brian: she'll be back monday. steve: she's home. brian: you're really working eight days

she thought it up not me in fact newt gingrich says it as well. so i think we are at a crucial alignment at this moment of the funding, government realization, noah and even nasa. the quick point i want to jump on a is the projections are upwards of 90% fatality rate within a year. the soviet union severed about, what, 15% fatality and world war ii. poland, about 20%, 18 to 20%. that trauma has echoed for generations. it is incomprehensible. again, it starts with water about a week we suddenly see massive gastrointestinal and we start to see a breakdown of the ecological systems and start to see starvation and let's also go with this, if the camera could point around, i'm not going to ask you to come everyone put up your hand who are on some sort of significant medication that might be life saving or life essentials and 30 days from now that supply runs out. we are also a hot house. hot house raised people now. we have been raised by for six generations like a rare tropical plant. he witnessed it in ethiopia. how many americans it something tossed

and it was a respectful, legitimate debate tonight i think the republicans were undercut by newt gingrich and pat buchanan and all these people who said right out of the box she was a w racist. the media ran with this wise't latino thing. it was in the first stories out of context. i don't think she really answered. "time" magazine, sue palin is a wonderful legal affairs writer, meet the sotomayor ours, which is me both sides how can she be speeches that her record is judicial restraint. it is true i think conservatives judicial activism is usually described as liberal i think that over plans by calling her a reverse racist. she was almost in a weird way getting a sympathy vote at this point to make in the media to do diligence tickets and i think they tried. 583 questions later we still didn't know very much about her judicial philosophy or the incendiary comment because she just walked away from it. if she says gee, i didn't really mean that and it was just a rhetorical source, when she made the point that she said it repeatedly but now she doesn't say it, where to go with it or it may

. >> i think the republicans were under cut by gingrich and buchanan who said she was a racist. it was out of context. i don't think she really answered. "time magazine" had a wonderful legal affairs manager, how can she make these speeches and her record is judicial restraint. it is true that conservatives, judicial activism is described as liberal but i think they overplayed it by calling on her as a racist. >> so did the media do due diligence? >> i think they tried, 583 questions we still don't know about her judicial philosophy because she just walked away from it. she said gee, i don't mean that. once she made the point she said it repeatedly, where do you go with it. the media didn't have any place to go. >> she said it five times. >> so after clarence thomas was crucified in the media, you don't get anything out of these nominees anymore? >> i think every nominee now keep it bland, don't answer questions, say this is something i might have to rule on so i can't go there. other thing these contradicted herself the circuit court is where you make policy. she was confronted

american people can get some changes so we can get it under control when clinton was president newt gingrich forced him to make tough choices. i look at the prosperity we had. it's pretty simple. don't spend more money than you taken. that's what the government has to do. that is what

she's like newt gingrich. she's a great fund-raiser. >> newt can't get crowds like that.wds like that. >> i think he has a better chance n rattle your cage . >> eleanor. >> don't underestimate palin. in the august issue of "runner's world," palin describes her 35-year passion for oor running. the 4,100-word interview reveals a lot more about sarah palin than about politics? if she goes for a day or a week without run rg, what does she learn about herself? "i feel so crappy if i go more than a few days without running. have i to run no matter how rotten i feel before or during ways worth it to worth it to my tynisa. "what is running toward her about politics? "same thing has taught me about life. you have to have determination and set goals. ni you don't complain when something's hurting because no one wants to hear it. you get bummed and burned out sometimes and running in and out of politics. if you're in for the long haul and your in it because you know that it is a good thing, then you get out there and you do it anyway." cot governor beat president obama in a race? "w
