who gingrich has always been.tched their head going, wait, wait, wait, wait, why did he say that about giraffes? you know, why is he making these crazy comments back and forth? newt can be a conservative icon and do what he did in '93 and '94 without the really hyper bolic statements. and given the intellectual approach to how republicans become relevant again. so listen, i am glad that he's going to work somewhere where he doesn't have to throw out rhetorical bombs to succeed. no, i -- >> that's actually a -- >> i'm dead serious. by the way, for bloggers, i'm not talking about fox. there are a lot of people on fox. but newt inc. through the past 20 years, a lot of it has been based on, again, websites, speeches, books, et cetera. giving conservatives in the base to go out and buy him and be whipped into a frenzy and say, yeah, i hate barack obama too. we can go through some of the things he said on the campaign trail. again, hyper bolic. he doesn't have to grab headlines now. i've got to say, i actually, i think

it is a side of newt gingrich that i have not seen before.nk he is trying to speak to a message that is more progressive. maybe it is more appealing to the electorate. the minute you say anything along the lines of trying to be more moderate, i think people are very quick to judge. it is going to take some time for us to be taken seriously. and newt gingrich, give him a little bit of credit. he is trying there. but it is a tough position to be in. >> now, gene, i promised you i would show you video of any other republican up there in boston today even trying to think new thoughts and phrase new sentences the way newt gingrich always does. but newt gingrich was the thought leader of the republican party 25 years ago. they have long gaps between thought leaders, apparently. >> well, i guess they do. i agree that you got to hand it to newt. he keeps throwing them out there, and eventually he will take every side on every issue that you could think of. but look, the alternative to republican orthodoxy is rand paul. and that libertarian wing of th

gingrich in case you didn't hear it.f the era of obama's disaster, we have to get beyond being anti-obama. so he's terrible and we have to stop saying he's terrible. can this guy hear what he's saying? >> it is amazing that he has to start out by bashing the president before he dk even begin to make a point what the future might hold. but newt might have one important message for them which is how disastrous it was for him and was for republicans in the '90s when he made the decision to shut down the government. right now with republicans contemplating going over that ledge again. >> he's not talking about that, krystle. he's talking about smartphones and technology. >> you got to be on the twitter if you're going to get to voters. that would be an important message if he goes there and talks about how disastrous it was for the party not to mention for the american people. >> brad, gingrich kept saying how they can't be the anti-obama party as they like to put it. they have to stand for something. yet he didn't get his f

newt gingrich is an error lobbyist -- uber lobbyist. barney frank talk about michele bachmann. he also called out newt gingrich and said he held him responsible for the demonization of opponents that has contributed to the atmosphere we live in today. i do think he came into the house. he slashed all of the caucasus and civility. we are seeing this. this is a man who a few days ago talked about education reform in the context of firing the janitors in schools and putting the kids to work. a lot of the media called that unconventional. [laughter] let's repeal child labor laws that we fought hard for in this country. bring in dickens to chronicle it. i do think there is the cruelty amidst the reality show debates we have been subjected to. who is running this, entertainment or news? there is a cruelty when people cheer that someone dies without health care or bbo a soldier that dies in iraq. >> i am joking about herman cain. he is a guy who cannot hide the truth well. that makes me more comfortable with the idea that i know who he is about so i can make a decision. >> are you tal

i mean, this newt gingrich saying this.n a broke clock is right twice a day, clarence. >> you know, this is good news, reverend. i've known newt gingrich for years. and there's good newt and naughty newt. naughty newt comes out and panders to that birther vote like trump does. but good newt is a man of ideas. that's why liberals like to talk to newt gingrich because he's always got ideas. some of them aren't great. others are not bad. one thing he does know is that republicans cannot just continue to vote against obama care without saying what would you replace it with? both parties agree the nation's health care system is broken. the needs of those 30, 40 million people who have been uninsured need to be taken care of. >> and victoria, you get a little excited when you see, wow, newt said what was true. because all of us want to hear some counterpolicy ideas. and you wait on the big idea, then the chairman of the party priebus comes and gives the big idea. attacking the president for being on vacation is his big idea. look

this is a very deep problem. >> newt gingrich not the only republican calling for a new strategy.e party are hoping to rebrand the gop. also the cost of raising a kid, the price is on the rise. we'll break down the new data for you, and then mayor bob filner is the focus of a new parody video and you're going to want to hear the lyrics to this one. this is "way too early." hey everybody, good morning, i'm thomas roberts in for brian shactman. it is thursday august 15th. we start off with the big news out of egypt, the interim prime minister says the government had no choice but to step in against a group of pro-morsi supporters, a group that sparked a day of widespread bloodshed. 40 members of the security fors have been killed and 4,000 injured.

and gingrich had a great response that brought the house down.ut domestic issues. what would have happened to gingrich at that moment in the campaign had king not provided him that opportunity? >> i also think what would have happened to rick perry had that moment not happened. my stomach still cringes. >> what would have happened to us as voters. >> exactly. you know what? my stomach still cringes when i watch some of those clips. i just remember going to those debates with my dad. as you know, there was not a lot of substance at those debates. it was really a battle between who could be the most conservative, who could throw out the most red meat. i remember my dad looking at me always on the end with his hands up like i don't know what to do. here is a guy that just left as ambassador to china. you get 30 seconds to talk about something substantial. so i understand reince priebus's point. let's have more control over the debates and less of those debates that really only makes us look bad. but there is a different way to go about that. let's n

great to have you here. >> what's your react to newt gingrich's comments. is the republican party going to listen to that? because it seems as if he's almost calling them out for bucking the rnc's list of goals after the spring autopsy of 2012. >> specifically on obama care what the speaker went on to say while the republicans have solutions on health care he believes they should be wrapped up in a comprehensive way to pose a clear alternative to obama care as opposed to resolutions that address specific aspects of health care. the broader point, we can walk and chew gum at the same time. be critical after the current demonstration of democrats and liberals but we need to present america with a much more positive image which our party is better for freedom. for opportunity for every american that's something we'll continue to work on. >> since the spring autopsy, what specifically have republicans done to institute the rnc's band-aid that came out of that? there was the discussion of the growth and opportunity inclusion council. has that started? >> yes, th

bit younger than me, but i always used to joke, you know, the knack had one good album, and the gingrich congress really only had two good years when it came to actually trying to cut government spending. but we need, if we're going to actually have limited government in this country, a political party that actually advocates limited government. we have a political party in the democrats that are certainly not shy about advocating for much bigger government. and president obama is very unapologetic in saying that there really aren't other institutions in american life that keep us together besides a big federal government. now, that's obviously not true. there are churches, there are community organizations, there are families, the free market is a thing that we all do together. but that is a vision that's embraced by the democratic party. there these to be something that stands against that. so that brings me to my second point. the second thing that we need is to continue to have people like rand paul and ted cruz and mike lee and, before he came to heritage and continuing at heritage,

rick tyler is with the strategy group for media a former spokesman for gingrich.obert hoops is a democratic strategist. rick, what makes this significant is a friend of the president. is this a sign that this impeachment talk is going mainstream within the gop? >> i sure hope not. i mean, i don't know what tom coburn is talking about. i would advise gop not to go down this line. in particular, because it's happening in the absence of ideas and an alternative vision. there's lots of things you can do way short of impeachment to turn around the policy initiatives of the obama administration. yes, there are some constitutional questions of barack obama. it certainly doesn't rise to the impeachment. don't think we need to have tom coburn or any other republican calling for impeachment because the president is impeaching himself, his credibility. since the recovery of 2009, household incomes are down 4.4%, black household incomes are down 11%, hispanic income homes down 4.5%. households led by women are down 7.5%. households are children of more than three children are

newt gingrich attending the summer meeting.says when it comes to the president's health care law, republicans have zero alternatives and ideas for other options. guest: there is a news report out today that says the republican study committee, the conservative wing of the house of representatives, are releasing a new health care bill that will provide a lot of free market ideas when it comes to health care. taxer one is equalizing the treatment when it comes to health care. when you get health care through your employer, you get a tax deduction. individuals in the individual market do not get that. that is a big deal. if you could fix that one part, you could do a lot to save a lot of talks on health care. another item is medical malpractice reform. that is something that desperately needs to be done along with buying interest across state lines. we have 50 silos in 50 states. you are confined to only buy insurance in one of those states, the state where you live. if you live in utah commission be able to shop -- if you live in

i'm going to agree with newt gingrich. brabender said it, the republican party has to put positive alternatives ought there. their problems in terms of health care, you can't come up with a health care plan that guarantees coverage even if you have pre-existing conditions without an individual mandate. it won't work because people will wait till they get sick and go buy insurance. there's a whole republican task force trying to come up with this alternative. i understand why republicans are desperate and frustrated about this. if obama care goes into effect, if people find out there are no death panels, there's no rationing, tens of millions of americans will get health care and by the time we get to the 2016 election, they haved it for 2 1/2 years. it will be tough for republicans to oppose it then. if it works, by 2020, you'll have republicans saying listen, i promise you, obama care is safe in our hands. >> john brabender, how do you put forth a plan that doesn't cherry pick from the more popular aspects of obama care?

but the former house speaker, newt gingrich, the host of the new cnn crossfire is on the phone right now. i know you've been a reluctant warrior in this particular regard. you didn't necessarily want the u.s. to launch military strikes, mr. speaker, against targets in syria. what did you think of the president's speech? >> well, first of all, i'm glad that he's going to go to the congress for approval. i think that slows the process down. it gives us time to think and to have a national debate. but i think there is one key question that every american and every member of congress has, and that is, what is the outcome? yes, we can go in and fire missiles, b-2's overhead dropping bombs. and then what? if this is just an exercise in p petulant anger, it's not going to impress the world, it's not going to impress dictators. we are in a mess in the region. the enemies of assad, frank many, are probably more anti-american than the assad dictator sh dictatorship, so there are no good sides here. i would just like the president or secretary kerry or somebody explain what is it they hope to a
