i remembered the newt gingrich that stole christmas. he went through an awful lot, a lot of battles with the media. wrinkly it seems like kindergarten compared to how vicious this effort to take him down, delegitimize him, it is. is there a comparison? did you go through this? where does this end? >> i have a little sense of where he was going through. it was true when "time" magazine had me on the cover as the grinch that stole christmas, and the following link i was the dr. seuss figure and on "newsweek," attacking -- that was before reverse born in, by the way. this is deeper, donald j. trump represents the end of their world. the people he was talking to -- in pennsylvania -- are people who really want to go back to core american values, they are fed up with the hollywood left, with left-wing academics brainwashing their children. they are fed up with "the new york times" and "washington post" and cbs and nbc and abc. they understand what the game is. the result is with trump having won the presidency, he is in position to pretty co

speaker gingrich has referred to the study of the nine substations. under the craft a controversial study, i testified it about before. that was a study that was looking at simultaneous physical attack on transformers and cascading of transformers, whether it's results were right or not, that's what it was talked about. if i were to go to protect the grid i'm not sure, i'm quite certain of those nine substations where they are are not where i would go. i would rather go to the control centers first because you can even turn a substation on and off without the key medications from a center. those are ubiquitous in every territory. we need to figure out for this risk which is different from a storm or even different from the risk with protecting against with the physical security standard which was for the substations, where is the best place to go. that's the work mr. manning and others are doing. to your second question, we do not have the authority as you note under the law to write a a requirement ourselves and to everyone, you have to do this. we h

calista gingrich is the president's choice to be the u.s. ambassador to the holy sea.ending senate confirmation. there is some controversy about it, of course, because those who say she does not have the proper qualifications for a role like that and some of the personal relationship of calista and when you're considering this is the catholic church in the way that they came together as a couple. and, so, this is a bit controversial, but i was also told by sources that newt gingrich had steed the president wanted nothing for himself but did want to see this kind of opportunity for his wife, calista gingrich. so, for the president important to have this done before he visits the vatican later this trip. >> nothing but cool breezes over to you reporting over in riyadh. great to see you. >> ambassador to saudi arabia. he serves under president george w. bush and an adjunct professor of science and also the author of "desert diplomat" inside saudi arabia following 9/11. as we are look at these pictures from president trump's pictures from saudi arabia, this is seen as an o

developments about the deep state, that is now targeting more members of the trump administration, newt gingrichill join us in a moment along with jay secular oh, and from circa news.com, but first tonight there is a war on freedom of speech, especially for conservatives coming and now conservatives are starting to fight back against the left, that is tonight's all-important opening monologue. ♪ >> sean: i have to start on a personal note of something that happened last week. now, i was asked by the family of the dnc staffer that was killed in july to pullback covering the story of the death, because their son and their family was hurting. and now their family out of consideration and seeing the pain that they were going through, they told me a number of times what was happening with them, and i was honestly glad to accommodate them. because as a father i know that i would probably never recover if i lost one of my kids. i honestly do not think it is possible. i cannot imagine the pain that they have gone through. now out of respect for the family's wishes, well, i decided for the time being not

amazon.com and hannity.com, understanding trump, former speaker of the house, house republican newt gingrich. he said, by the way, james comey be careful. by the way, james comey by the end of next week will probably be an msnbc contributor, that's only my guess, because he's in the tank as everyone else and he did such a bad job but now they're saying trump said there might be tapes. he's threatening james comey, with what? his own words? >> look, i think you have it basically right. we're in the middle of a cultural civil war. virtually all the elite media's on the other side. they wake up every morning and they say, i know trump did something horrible. what was it? and that's the base of their d day. it's to track down the horrible thing that they know has happened. um, and i think frankly, the president ought to shift gears entirely. get off all of this washington insider baloney and go back to changing the government and

gingrich is the third wife of former house speaker newt gingrich, a close advisor to president trumpho was considered for a cabinet position. calista gingrich is a devout catholic who said in 2011 she's always been a very spirit all person. >>> now more on the fbi's performance and whether they can be effective without james comey at the helm. 25% of those polled say they have confidence there will be a fair and impartial investigation. only 12% have no confidence the fbi can get the job done right. joining us now, cnn cent ontrib, and ambassador to the chzech republic. whoever is the next fbi director, can americans trust there will be no white house pressure and influence? >> thanks for having me. whether or not americans will be able to trust the president's fbi pick depends on who he chooses. he needs to go in the direction of a career professional, somebody with ties to the fbi or to law enforcement. there is some highly political names on the list. that would be the wrong choice, say to choose a sitting senator. too political. but if he makes a solid choice, the american people

newt gingrich, jay sekulow, joe concha and peter schweizer here tonight. first, the commander-in-chief is not taking the lies, smear, slander, disparchment anymore from the media or the democrats. president has had enough. tonight, he's fighting back. that's our opening monologue. all right so after neverending fake news conference from propaganda media highlighted by this unprecedented negativity and their bizarre tinfoil hat conspiracy theories and outright lies, president trump tonight is fighting back to set the record straight. in an interview with judge jeanine pirro that airs here on the fox newschannel tomorrow 9:00 eastern time, the president says he's now contemplating getting rid of white house daily briefings due to the out-of-control media bias. finally! take a look. >> when we have those press conferences, i actually said we shouldn't have them, because sarah lucky. -- huckabee. >> you've been doing it for 100 years. you can't do that. >> there's never been action like this. this is crazy. they're getting higher ratings on the press conferenc

newt gingrich, judge jeanine pirro, dr.ina loudon, maria bartiromo, austan goolsbee and herman cain are all guests joining us tonight. the destroy-trump-media -- it continues to breathlessly push the bizarre tinfoil hat conspiracy. russia, collusion, no evidence do they have, whatsoever. this has now become the biggest scandal in the history of the media and its country. it's time to get to the truth. we got to set the record straight. nobody else in the media will do it and that is tonight's unique -- in terms of media -- openingit monologue. the destroy-trump-media absolutely refuses to follow the facts when it comes to the baseless claims of president colluding with the russians. that's because these very radical, rigid ideologues do not care about telling you, the america people, the truth.y the main objective is to smear and besmirch president trump no matter what actual evidence exists or doesn't exist or what it shows. these purveyors of very fake news are perfectly happy peddling their lives as long as it inflicts d

newt gingrich and author of the upcoming book, understanding trump. it comes out june 13. newt, great to have you with us. congratulations on the new book. title couldn't be more apt to our conversation tonight. is he right? a good shutdown to clear the way for better judgment and better results? >> he's right if it's the only way to get it done. if they set up the strategy and communicate to the country, the country will support them. we closed the government twice en i was speaker. it didn't hu us at all. if the country understood we were in a battle over reforming welfare and balancing the budget. but right now is a different situation. this was the last obama budget. trump was not yet prepared, had not laid the ground work for a government shutdown. and the truth is he made a lot. democrats made a huge mistake because they didn't read the fine print. he got the money for the wall. when you read what they actually wrote, the only thing they blocked was concrete. they didn't block steel, they didn't block other what is of doing it. the democrats only stopped one part. th

newt gingrich is here to respond to that.to miss what he has to say next. >> you have every provision of this bill tattooed on your forehead. you will glow in the dark on this one. you will glow in the dark. >> bill: nancy pelosi moments before the votes happened. newt gingrich author of a new book called "understanding trump." that should be good. he is the former house speaker and with me now. fox news contributor. nice to see you in person. it's great to be here. it passes in the house, evaluate it. >> very much improved. the last five weeks have actually worked. the number one concern of americans, existing pre-conditions, guarantees they have axis to health insurance. begins to move us toward a more market-oriented system and begins is the right term. the senate will do some things that will be different and then they have to go to conference and produce a bill. it is still a big challenge but it was a huge victory for president trump. a big victory for paul ryan. this was a heavy lift. >> bill: a long way to go, we can

ambassador to the holy see. >> she is newt gingrichs wife and a devout catholic.uld be seen as a reward for someone like newt gingrich who was a top surrogate for the trump campaign certainly ended up defending them. sometimes made some critical comments. for the most part, a pretty big ally of president trump. if she got the plum position it would be a reward. you do hit on an important point here is that this is not the most important of ambassadorships. the fact that we're starting to get word that this is a pick, instead of the more hot spot ambassadors and even more importantly, a lot of the important assistant secretaries, many of the people who would end up running the government in the next year or two still haven't been appointed yet. i think there's a good question on what this administration is prioritizing and what it's not. >> yeah, and what they have done and haven't done. now the president himself talking about getting rid of press briefings. i mean, do we think he's serious about that? >> it's hard to say. look, there was a question about this ques

now, speaker gingrich, folks, obviously over 65 are still protected by medicare, but if you're 55-64, you going to pay more under this new house plan? >> you may, but the fact is the obamacare system's collapsing. they just announced in maryland a 50% rate increase next year. there are no plans left in knoxville, kentucky. in 94 of the 99 counties of iowa there are no plans left. i mean, people can yell about pre-existing conditions, if you can't get any insurance, you have no coverage for any condition. this is an effort to try to get the program to be, to survive, to make sure we can offer insurance for everybody. chris: let me bring you in, congresswoman. first of all, your reaction to what speaker gingrich and, secondly, what's your biggest concern about this house bill? >> well, i was in the house when obamacare passed. i voted for it. it passed in a totally party line vote, as this version did, and we're just trading bad for bad. why don't we think about american health care, not republican health care or obamacare. and my reaction is that this got reince priebus -- who did a ve

mark levin, newt gingrich, michelle malkin, dr. sebastian gorka, jay sekulow, geraldo rivera all here tonight with reaction. tinfoil hat conspiracy liberals in congress, the destroy-trump-media, they are absolutely losing it. completely unhinged. of course over james comey being fired. which needed to happen. that is tonight's important opening monologue. deranged liberal crackpots are at it again. the very important decision to fire the fbi director pushing brand-new and completely insane conspiracy theories. trump was asked why he decided to fire james comey. here's what he said. >> why did you fire director comey? >> because he wasn't doing a good job. he wasn't doing a good job. >> sean: that is a simple, basic fundamental truth that liberals can't face. he did not do his job. he failed you, the american people. he disrespected the constitution and made a mockery out of the rule of law.w. he sat on his hands while your fourth amendment privacy rights were being trampled on. and he created most dangerously a two-tiereded justice

newt gingrich was on the sunday show saying that's a myth.s is a myth that baby would somehow be denied health care or coverage. let me play for you. >> you show up at a hospital with a new baby and the baby has a heart problem. the doctors do every they can to save the baby. they try to save the baby's life. that's true across the board in the country. that is just part of the myth of the left. >> abby, when the baby is born, doctors will do what they can. for the next ten years of care, you can't just show up at an emergency room and demand open heart surgery. >> he was not talking about insurance. he was talking about emergency care on the spot. that's the issue. >> you hear people say that. emergency rooms can fill the gap. >> and labrador was talking about the same emergency care. that is where he was going with that conversation. no one dies from lack of health care. he means you can walk into an emergency room and they treat you. what he is not talking about is the other part of the health care system which is what do you do when you n

former speaker of the house fox news contributor newt gingrich. honestly -- you're laughing at me i know why you're laughing at me so don't even start. i have been so frustrated byly thist process. you come on very sober, elder statesman of the show come a long time friend and you just, hannity, let me calmly walk you through the process. calmly walk us to the process. >> tonight, no, no, be excited. and be, be positive. my newsletter tomorrow is going to be entitled trump's triumph. this is an extraordinary achievement is three months earlier than reagan got his tax cut to 30 months earlier than we got welfare reform. i think five months earlier than they got obamacare through. i didn't think they could do it i was very, very skeptical. they kept working and i know you sometimes disagree with me onas this, paul ryan was in there every day trying to find votes. mark meadows was a great leader who said from the mid of the original bill went down, we've got to come together, we got to find a compromise. w he provided real leadership. kevin mccarthy

newt gingrich is a smart man. he knows if you don't have an emergent situation an e.r.nd you back home. this is a talking point. who is leading the charge to take care of people in this country now on the democrats' side? i guess bernie sanders but they haven't filled in this moment. >> and kimmel has a talking point no one should be able to dispute. it's amazing that people were trying to dispute it as though he didn't have a valid point. i happen it to know jimmy really well. he's an incredibly sincere guy. the idea of him being an elitist creep is off base. he's a blue collar guy. >> that's a narrative, also. >> he is an honest guy. this hit him in a place that was so deep and emotional he has thrown himself into it. >> that authenticity everybody loves particularly on television, that leads us to stephen colbert who had his obscene rant or whatever -- crude rant -- but it seems to have worked. when he began criticizing president trump, his ratings spiked and he, in fact, leap flogged jimmy fallon who had taken over "the tonight show." and is there a feeling stephen

more with newt gingrich after the break. and coming up next... >> you see something that happened like two days ago, you see how important it is to win this fight. >> sean: president trump in brussels earlier today talking about defeating terrorism and later, the investigation continues into the deadly terrorist attack at a concert in manchester, england, targeting teenagers. the manchester bomber spent three weeks in libya before the deadly terrorist attack. we will check in with judge jeanine pirro, gina loudon, and also... >> i am drafting an article of impeachment. >> sean: snowflake democratic congressman al green is scratching documents for impeachment. all up next week i let her play sheriff so i can wash it. i use tide to get out those week old stains and downy to get it fresh and soft. you are free to go. tide and downy together. anyone ever have occasional constipation,diarrhea, gas or bloating? she does. she does. help defend against those digestive issues. take phillips' colon health probiotic caps daily with thr

was that the moment that deteriorated relationships and it sort of launched gingrich? do you buy that was patient zero here? >> no, not necessarily. i think there are a lot of factors that play, that created this divisiveness that we see today. part of it was the way newt gingrich handled himself and went after the institution o the congress. the whole issue with the house bank, the whole issue dealing with this election. more importantly, i think, the attacks that were made that were really undermining the relationship between democrats and republican that's had historically created bipartisanship. add to that money, the sound bites of the media, add to that a lot of other issues and that's the result we have today. a very divided country. a very partisan washington. and a very dysfunctional washington in terms of governing. >> well, i didn't want to limit the to a sound bite. that's why we did 15 minutes with you. i won't bother with all the titles. just one of the washington wisemen who is wise enough to know he should be living on the west coast. thank you. >> than

his name is newt gingrich.e's the former speaker of the house. >> you show up at a hospital with a brand new baby and the brand new baby has a heart problem the doctors of that hospital do everything they can to save the baby. they don't say we'll take care of the baby right after you write a check. they try to save the baby's life. and that's true across the board in this country. >> yes, it is true that if you have an emergency they will do an operation and that's terrific if your baby's health problems are all solved during that one visit. the only problem is that never, ever happens. we've had a dozen doctor's appointments since our son had surgery. you've got a cardiologist, a pediatrician. surgeon. some kids need an ambulance to transport them. that doesn't even count the parents who have to miss work for all this stuff. those details newt forgot to mention. i don't know if the double layers of spanx are restricting the blood flow to his brain.

witnesses include former house speaker newt gingrich and the acting chair of the federal energy regulatory commission. alaska senator lisa murkowski chairs this two-hour hearing. >> morning. the committee will come to order. i would like to welcome everyone to the energy hearing this morning. we are here to examine the threat as it is posed by the electromagnetic pulse as well as policy options to protect energy infrastructure and provide restoration in the event of an attack. the united states has recognized a potential attack as a national security threat for decades and our efforts to understand the potential is certainly not new. the department of defense and national labs have been grappling with 1 degree or another since we first started testing nuclear weapons. since the tests in the 1950s and 60s examined the potential impact of the burst on both military and civilian infrastructure however, today there is a renewed focus on understanding the effects of such an attack and increase in efforts at mitigating and recovering from such an event should occur. this issue is more salient no

callista gingrich is in the final discussions. it could be announced this week.out catholic, she's very prominent on the world stage and with that it means newt gingrich would go abroad as well so interesting. >> newt gingrich who happens to be in the process of writing a trump biography. >> he can write that from vatican city. >> beautiful writing studies in the vatican. add anger management to the list of giant challenges facing the house speaker paul ryan and his leadership team. this past week was a boiling point for veteran house republicans. moat home avoid willing town halls because of constituent anger over health care and the comey firing, asked to comment on another presidential tantrum and tweet storm. the more republican retirements the better the democratic odds of retaking the house next year and those who track the gop pulse say the talk of packing it in because of trumphaustion is spiking. thanks for sharing your sunday morning. catch us weekdays here at noon eastern as well. up next, "state of the union" with jake tapper. have a great sunday. if

liz: is newt gingrich right, is it trump tore gop republicans afraid they will lose in the mid-term.d: he was willing to trade off something. liz: you mean for the high-risk pool. ed: that was an expensive and important step. this is the first step. fit would have lost date would have been done. they can fix it in the senate. they will know more what's in the bill. this is not the final version in any way, shape or form. the goal is to move forward and do the things the president promised to do. they made a big effort and i think it's smart. liz: you never heard democrats talk about how insurance companies were leaving the exchanges and in some counties people had anyone surers in their markets. what can the senate do to this version of the bill? ed: the senate has different rules. they have to leave it in the bujt terry reconciliation bills. they will str have time to look at the bill. see what the insurance companies need. you can't let them all shutdown. to a certain extent you pass a piece of legislation and come back the following year and fix it. we didn't do that with amacare.

joining us now on this very serious news night, newt gingrich. mr. speaker, i'm trying to lay out the case here. james comey i think earned this. i would love your thoughts. >> i think the key facts is that the brand-new deputy attorney general, a 30-year justice department career -- endorsed by the senate 94-6, this is the person who wrote the letter, which is devastating and said it's clear that director comey cannot lead the fbi and has made such a series of mistakes that has crippled the morality of the fbi, in that letter goes through citing attorney general after attorney general all saying what comey has done violates totally the fbi -- president trump, give the deputy attorney general who everyone agrees is a nonpartisan widely approved career professional sends a letter to the attorney general and says if we are going to rebuild the fbi, comey has to go. the attorney general's that's all right, i agree with you. he puts a cover letter on. and it shows up on president trump's desk. what i would say to democrats is -- if the president of the u

former house speaker newt gingrich joins me in a moment with his take on what is really going on at the white house and what he thinks should go on at the white house. first, we begin with chief correspondent and had ed henry and how they intend to tackle this. >> the bottom line is i'm hearing from us on the president's top advisors tonight he is fed up with all of these attacks and as soon as he gets back from this foreign trip, he is planning to take the fight to his critics much more aggressively. the president beefing up the white house staff with what you call that war room. basically aimed at getting much tougher onto big issues. pushing back against leakers inside the deep state of government and dealing with the various investigations of the russia allegations. phase one of all this was the president taking the outside counsel, this tough new york attorney mark caso it's. he is a quote ready to rumble. phase two of this, the spotlight is now on corey lewandowski. they are two trusted hands from the trump campaign who could be added to the white house staff. advisors say that bo

a good example of speaker gingrich pointed out that all of this stuff is designed for efficiency.when you design it for efficiency you design it in huge vulnerabilities. ukrainian attack taught us some legislation came out of that. that is the ukraine attack was not as bad as what it could have been because the system wasn't very efficient. it had to go through human beings. then the human beings recognize rose going on and were able to mitigate it. the co-author s79 that brings the back to the future bill where you back up and start to look at these efficiencies and see if there's places where we can put in these things. i have talked long enough. incredibly important here thank you for holding it. >> we appreciate that input. senator king. >> first i want to welcome speaker gingrich. always a pleasure to have the insights. i remember the day we spent in maine when we are lonely voices talking about regional education in 2000. mr. manning, i think this gets to where we have been focusing today, you mentioned the distributive energy and said it could be a part of the redundancy an
