would say reached the height of the temporary partisanship around the 1990s and 2000s was because gingrich and speaker pelosi. boehner pulled away from that and tried to reintroduce the left partisan aspects of the speakership, but it's still a very partisan position, and the majority party in the house expects the speaker to carry out the will of the party. >> host: when you look back at the history of the speaker, who have been some of the more effective ones or well known ones? >> guest: well, first what comes to mind a sam rayburn, speaker from 1940 #s until the early 196 os, and he was a prominent speaker in part because he lasted so long. he served off and on for 20 years and rare to have a speaker last as long as as that, certainly after two or three terms. he was a rare speaker in that he understood the house in which he served, and he understood what it was that motivated members of the house of representatives. he had what you say is a spiel for the chamber, making it possible for him to get a lot done, understand what's possible after politics. some of the major legislation that

it was a deeply personal commitment he had to gingrich.le will not believe this, but sheldon adelson was naive about what would happen once he gave all that money to that group helping newt gingrich and change the dynamic in south carolina. he didn't expect to become a focal point. if he didn't expect to become a focus of national media attention back then, think what's going to happen in 2016 when he says he's going to spend a lot more money and when it won't be personal. now he wants to back someone who will win. i have to tell you, i talked to somebody very close to sheldon adelson who said he met with all these guys while they were out here. there was no clear favorite. let's face it. look what the date is. it's march 31st of 2014. this guy could change his mind six, eight times before he decides who to back. i'll tell you another thing. i don't think he's going to back someone who is out of washington. i think he likes these governors. i think he actually likes christie. by the way, up until that occupied territories unforced error, c

a few weeks ago i was on cnn's cross-fire, and was there with newt gingrich and billy crystal. not the funny one. the angry one. the editor of the weekly standard. and van jones was the other liberal, i guess. i was there because newt gingrich called for john kerry's resignation because john kerry, in china, had made a speech about climate change. and newt gingrich was outraged that the secretary of state was devoting an entire speech to climate change. outraged at this. and in the discussion that followed, as i'm there, 30 minutes, i'm listening and both gingrich and crystal are mainly talking in adjectives. they're mainly -- very little policy substance. all like an ad hominem attack. weakless. the most feckless foreign policy, disaster. adrift. and one characterization after another, and i realized there on stage, that's is the frame that the president's political appoint inepts have set and they take everything that happened and drives its into that frame. ukraine, own oaseses fault. weak, feckless, syria, obama's fault. weak, feckless, whatever goes on in the world, he is

and in the book "big tent" speaker gingrich, his contribution reminds us of this. the same pillars have brought new generations into the movement for decades. a movement has to have pillars we all agree on or the whole tent falls down. and leaders in our movement fall away from core principles, like they sometimes do, we must take a step back or reexamine our course and select the new leaders. what is conservatism really? conservatism is -- has a political and social philosophy that is ancient. the personal human impulse to defend and fight for one's most cherished convictions is natural conservatism as a guiding philosophy for social life, education, cultural distinctions , and government is natural and ancient. the word conservative comes from latin. it means tech guard, keep, safe. it conveyed the idea of starting something for the purpose of safekeeping perhaps because of the association with guarding many people confused conservatism with blindly holding tradition. but traditionalism fails to capture the movement adequately. conservatives recognize that tradit

>> i thought it was interesting in the 2012 campaign rick perry and newt gingrich were very whitete, open, closer to -- to what i considered them my mitt romney who was the least conservative candidate that saw fit to get over to the right of them, if you want to describe it that way. i think it hurt him terribly in the election. i think it was a very bad strategic mistake. what people want to do is tell the truth. if jeb feels that way about it, it reminds me of my old boss ronald reagan. ronald reagan used to say when the blame america first crowd gets out of hand, you need to apply the gates test. what is the gates test? he says the gates test. see which way people run. they run to america. that is what jeb is saying to me. this is the place for good reason. we ought to be proud of it. when you apply the gates test and people want to come here. and that is what is good about --s and i don't find that that message has the benefit of being true. whether everybody will take that same view, is neither here or there. it is very similar to what ronald reagan.. >> is that the right direc

he bet on newt gingrich, which was going nowhere. he bet on rick santorum. he then finally got on board with romney fund-raising after having tremendous amounts of adelson money used to attack romney, the guy he's then investing in after he's damaged the stock he's investing in. have these republican campaign investors -- what we've seen now is are they getting smarter, are they trying to get more targeted to the actual winner here? >> i think anyone who spends any amount of money in these races wants to back the winner. what was remarkable with sheldon adelson's endorsement and the spending of the millions of dollars for newt gingrich last time revolutionary in american politics was this -- the typical presidential campaigns end when the candidate runs out of money. and newt gingrich was out of money. he was down and out. and he really had a constituency of one. he had one guy outside the structure of the campaign that was providing all the funding. and he was able to keep going. he was able to keep running well past the point of his expiration date. and he

and mcconnell and gingrich worked together on that election.nd that was an example of how mcconnell find ways to win by working with who have looks out for opportunities. they had the special in oklahoma two weeks before that. and there was clearly an anti clinton vote out there. and gingrich, who had been approached by mcconnell said let's go. and you had congressional campaign committees, you know, congressman committees giving 3,000 bucks. one for the special, one for the primary, one for the general. let's talk about mcconnell's rise into prominence into kentucky politics. was he always a natural republican or conservative? because it's odd to me that, given kentucky was a dominant democratic state, wanted to get into politics, why didn't he do it on the conservative side of the democratic party. >> he wasn't raised that way. he was raised from a -- in a business-oriented family in alabama that moved to kentucky. and he was a john sherman cooper type republican. he worked for cooper. he worked for marlow cook. he was coming out of louisvill

one that stuck out to me, though, was from newt gingrich, and he gives some good advice about honesty reason that lie detectors work is that the act of lying creates a physical reaction in your body. your pulse quickens. your blood pressure increases. often you begin to sweat. all signs of stress. clearly, your body does not think lying is good. so imagine what it might be doing to your soul. >> whoa. >> it comes more than a decade, right after he was obviously -- had to get off his speakership, had two affairs, and ended two marriages, and was hitting president clinton at the time for his own infidelities. why is it, though, because there are so many stories like this, that we continue to get great advice from people that can't seem to take their own advice? >> i think it's just way too easy to become an inspirational icon in america, and newt gingrich is a prime example of that. he kind of put himself out as this moral leader, and he said he was, and everyone believed him. then he just fueled on itself, and there's just example after example from our culture of these people that wer

. >> we have 17 contributors and one is newt gingrich and he talks about that and says we are loosing that because of the way we are stifleling the markets and the government is involved in everything. it is by freeing people that we can keep this american experiment going. you remember the quote and i don't mean remember it exactly what the president said about this. i don't remember the whole quote. but that is the problem. i believe democrats and liberals are striving for uniform med medocerative and feel that american exceptional ism is wrong. i don't. i believe in america. and i believe that by having a big tent held up by poles that are core poles or pillars that we can save our country and continue this great american experiment. >> i see him running here with the mike. thank you. mar mark levin and supporters of him argue the size of government and the complexty of laws you need fundamental constitutional reform done at the state level because even if we get the good people on political leadership positions the permanent government is going to block the efforts of reform. >> i

he put $15 million that kept newt gingrich alive, then he gave romney $30 million. that's the guys, people are going to go and court these people. >> he has a particular set of issues he cares about. >> sheldon adelson, our kind of guy. >> a programming note. the fort hood shooting is still a developing national and international story with press impact in the u.s. and around the globe. this will probably include press produced comment from worldwide notables, including u.n. and nato figures and possibly political figures like vladimir putin. the group will discuss this fort hood subject. regrettably, it's an on going press story. issue two, pardon pollard? >> the president has not made a decision. >> jonathan pollard, a u.s. citizen has been in prison in the united states for nearly 30 years. his crime, espionage. pollard was an intelligence analyst with the u.s. navy when he was arrested in 1985. he had been passing thousands of classified documents to israel. a charge for which he pled guilty. the documents reportedly included top u.s. secrets about soviet and ar

newt gingrich said he opposed the clinton health-care was because it lacked an individual mandate. , today, because of partisan politics, that individual mandate is now referred to as socialism. do you have an individual mandate requirement in massachusetts? >> absolutely. >> is it working? >> absolutely. >> what is the population of uninsured in massachusetts? it was about three percent. we are very optimistic that number has shrunk. we expect that number to be less than three percent. that not the second lowest uninsured population in the united states. >> a thought was the first. >> you are more successful than i thought. in terms of the website, i heard the testimony that websites are not the same as the exchange. websites sometimes do have glitches, unfortunately. did massachusetts have glitches when it started? absolutely. the website that we launched looks nothing like the website that we had prior to the aca. pre-aca website went through a journey, from a performance perspective and functionality perspective. technology is meant to evolve over time. it is meant to be innovati

famous personalities as a button to pause in a former speaker of the us house of representatives newt gingrich the former prime minister of israel. it was bought out and many others will be among the speakers of the forum every year the media form welcomes different delegates and features different themes but one person of the main forum moderator well known journalist tv presenting a producer of alex's era tv channel is khan remains a constant figure before. i think this year's forum will feature a huge number of issues for discussion and kazakhstan will play the role of the so called bridge between the countries that industry relations. today we're witnessing a spy on political crisis in the world there's a large number of states parties which cannot and do not want to reach a consensus. thus this one will provide a platform for discussion of unresolved issues such as the crises in ukraine presses examination of crimea in many other issues of the global scale over twelve years of history the eurasia media formats establish itself as a reputable place for meetings of leading politicians of th

when you think about what happened with gingrich. party paid the consequences for that. at that time, where i was a leaning conservative democrat independent kind of growing more conservative, there was this governor of texas named george w. bush talking about two issues, immigration reform and education reform. and that was the kind of thing that really got my attention and drew a lot of conservative democrats and independents across the bridge to join the republican party and support george w. bush. i think the republican party has changed, but i don't think america has changed. so i think it's these kind of issues that jeb bush is speaking out on that require real leadership. and i love the idea that it's an act of love. and he went into the propellers on that, but i gave him great credit for speaking his heart. that moment reminds me a lot of george w. bush, speaking their heart on these tough issues that require leadership in the party. now, obviously, if he dd decido run, it's going to be a different primary. >> that's the ques

he couldn't stand newt gingrich, newt gingrich couldn't stand him. newt could get things done, hammer out deals and talking about the 50th anniversary of the civil rights act and it's fair to act would that type of legislation make it through a congress today? i think the answer is probably, no. something that grand and something that sweeping, and it's a reflection half a century later about how different politics are than they were 50 years ago. >> mark halperin, or even 15 years ago? >> it's gotten so worse so quickly. >> the irony, the last three presidents, they all ran saying, the perfect diagnosis of what was wrong and with a strong belief they were the ones to fix it, and all three of them have failed to do it. it's quite a puzzle, and president clinton probably, because he came from arkansas, probably spent, and was governor for so long and in public life longer than the other two, he probably feels this and has a better feel for the heartbeat of it than anybody in the country and yet he can give a speech but he can't change it. >> yep. and

it was no surprise in 2003 when i was approached by a newt gingrich's to begin planning interventionnto iraq. as i went forward and put together the plan that was largely adopted and sent down to see tommy franks to things became very clear. first of all, we don't want to occupy but remove the inner circle at the top because that is an invitation to disaster. who wants a foreign army in their country? if you occupied north philadelphia after one month we would have shot at them to. you don't want foreign entities. not in your neighborhood. it would not take long. we bombed the country law the scale of roll toward to over 10 years we did not need to bomb them but take a small force to get rid of this and the iraqi military would cooperate. it seemed pretty straightforward but this changes and as a basalts of dr. wolfowitz and others in the administration determined they would transform iraq into a liberal democracy friendly to the west and israel. >> host: a lot of what you talk about with newt gingrich after 9/11, led did you say or feel that made sense to do a limited invasion or no

that happened to me the other day reading newt gingrich's book "breakout. talkingtim o'reilly, about how the government should operate in the internet age. "the besting this -- way for the government to operate is to figure out what are in society and make investments in those things. the same way apple figured out, if you make the iphone into a five form developers will bring hundreds of thousands of applications to the table." o'reilly went on to say the smart phone development used to now, vendors in a back room trying to decide what features to offer. apple turned the iphone into a platform where the key feature was other people could make features. imagine if instead of mandating things for you to do, the government became a platform, just like your iphone, enabling you to create a happier, safer, more prosperous life. actually, government as an enabler was a good idea long before anyone imagined the internet. in 1944, the g.i. bill enabled world war ii veterans to attend the college of their choice, helping them become the greatest generation. today,

a lot of people think maybe it started with the tea party movement in 2009, 2010 or maybe in the gingrich revolution of 94 and certainly by 1980 when reagan was nominated and elected. it started literally 102 years ago when the roosevelt field to get the republican nomination for residents and went across the street in athens and started the party and split the republican vote allowing woodrow wilson and very progressive democrats to become president of the united states was busted and 42% of the vote. so, we've been fighting that wing of the party ever since. sometimes our opponents look like teddy roosevelt. sometimes tom dewey when mixing or ford or bob dole or john mccain or mitt romney. but in today it is john boehner, eric cantor, mitch mcconnell, lamar alexander. fighting that wing of the party. and as i said earlier, the voters reject them. and only when they are faced with in opposition to the democrats is a limited government constitutional conservatives do we score big victories. this very weekend as a matter of fact, eric cantor, kevin mccarthy committee meeting at the ritz ca

newt gingrich revolution set the bar, lowered the bar for the discourse and the level of disability we see right now whether he's willing to accept responsibility. he was tactically smart he could save polarize things and it took entrenched minority and turned it upside down and the republicans did win. the problem with the politics are polarization and demonization is they often work and that is why it's hard to say there's going to be an end anytime soon because voters are not outraged by it. >> you nixon was the one who started that with the southern strategy. but just to say when this is going to end the voters need to feel a little bit better about themselves and right now we do a lot of pulling and we see this. this is a trendline that i see and i don't need to hammer this over and over but as long as we feel threatened ,-com,-com ma voters are going to be argumentative as to how to solve it and want to protect their base. i agree with ana part of this comes from the voters. the other thing that troubles me when i first got to washington in the late 80s republicans and democrats

newt gingrich and others have started a group called right on crime.y are working with left and right state legislatures. they have gone to some bills and over a dozen legislatures. the third area where it is breaking through is to block the expansion of the use globalized trade agreements. the pacific trade agreement is being negotiated by president obama. it will be blocked under an opposition to fast track. in other words, republicans and democrats have a majority of the house. ership.fying their lead boehner and close he -- pelosi. they have enough votes to block rade agreement. a little over a year ago, there was almost a majority vote in the house to block the nsa from dragnet surveillance. that was bubbling up of public opinion, going from the grassroots all the way to the house of representatives in defiance of speaker boehner and nancy pelosi. we're seeing this emerged. if we want to get things done, long-overdue re-directions, we better pay attention to this emerging left-right alliance that i described in detail. there are 25 areas in this c

alan johnson came to speaker gingrich shouted down by protesters that demanded he be expelled immediately. then right here in los angeles a couple of weeks ago to be rejected by the student government that one of the members of the panel to break down and start crying in a mad fashion her life was destroyed and decided not to wage economic warfare against the jews. i guided e-mail from tim b. benjamin working against the california campuses in discussed a recent hearing with the administrators at the university of california about anti-semitism that jews suffer and she brought the testimony of a couple of students before the panel. a neuroscience major said we constantly hear the term zionist as a dirty word as to self-determination historically oppressed minority is something to be ashamed of. when i was watching that woman break down and have a nervous breakdown after her university decided not to do anything that was anti-semitic something clicked i realized she is absolutely convinced that israel is not the germany. she thinks tolerating pro-israel voices like alan johnson like we i w

are speaker for a former speaker it is difficult to become president down the road resawed newt gingrichroubles but to run for the ways and means chairmanship. neil: but to make the substantive and substantial difference in the presidential balloting even as a former vice presidential candidate he would naturally rises to the top. but they do not favor that impact with the house ways and means? >> he is a policy wonk he has plenty of time to run for president. space of paul ryan running ways and means chairmanship you cannot render for president at the same time but then senator hatch heading the finance committee then president obama has to make a decision will he strike deals or not get anything done the last two years? it is fascinating. even if democrats hold the senate they had a good working with vision of paul ryan so maybe washington could work again. neil: are what it is setting up during 2016 if he does not run people across the aisle will get something done with ever they say about his tenure plan it is the olive branch. >> the base trust him and i think after the election he

and, in fact, many of the public adversaries of clinton during his term, starting with newt gingrichrible marital situations and hypocrisy was all over the place. i think you're right. i think people associate bill clinton with prosperity. they associate hillary clinton with a professional run as secretary of state, even if some, including me, may disagree with her about some issues. and the republicans don't really have, at least now, a strong candidate to put up against her, should she run. and so it's desperation to find some kind of -- >> what about that nuance of foreign policy are probably in sync, by the way. thank you so much for a broad defense of the clinton which i don't think is going to be necessary in a couple of years. up next, bridgegate, more subpoenas could be on the way. this is "hardball."

it didn't help having gingrich and santorum calling romney a vulture capitalist.rast, look at 1980. the only time a republican has taken out an incumbent president in 100 years. that's reagan running against jimmy carter. who had the worst primary there? literally, the incumbent, carter, did. kennedy ran against him right up until the democratic convention. they were saying they were going to stay home, vote for john anderson, the liberal independent candidate. you want to other guys to have a brutal, bruising primary, which is why i'm heavily promoting elizabeth warren and bernie sanders, joe biden. i want them all in the race. you want your own party the try to wrap it up quickly, but to try to get the right candidate, so you need to have some vetting and some early debates, but this idea of having 22 debates, it was more than that. some ridiculous number. like 38 debates the republicans had in this last presidential. that has to stop. and by the way, the losers and conservatives like myself always do do this when we're not wild about the candidate like john mcc
