they shared the same party so gingrich believed in sorting that out. seemsgo he's been here reminds e of a book how gingrich used c-span in congress to kind of national life this message. how did he do that? >> when he comes to congress and coincides with television cameras for the first time, so cable television was just kind of becoming a thing in the late 70s it explodes in everyone's household and so part of it was brian lamb who created c-span got the cable industry as a goodwill gesture to the country to see with your cable package e you will get this channel where you get, to watch your governmt every day and you can watch all of the proceedings an and to be convinced at that time it was tip o'neill. and newt gingrich recognized the camera benefited because it hennected him to a whole new audience he could otherwise not reach as a member of congress he wasn't going to get on cbs or nbc. he wouldn't be on the front page of the times that he coul timeso and talk on the floor of the house. what he found was there was a provision in the house rules

she is married to former speaker newt gingrich. please welcome ambassador gingrich. [applause] thank you. good afternoon. it is an honor to be here. i would like to thank clark judge, the white house writers group, the victims of communism memorial foundation, the polish national foundation, and the ronald reagan foundation and institute for the opportunity to be with you today. as the u.s. abbasid or to the holy see, a lifelong catholic, and a polish-american, i am delighted to share my thoughts with you on the historic partnership between president ronald reagan and saint upon -- saint john paul ii. i am often asked to explain the benefits of maintaining the u.s. mission to the vatican. after all, the territory of the holy see occupied less than one quarter of one square mile. so why do we need an embassy? the answer is rooted in history. in june of 1979 during pope john paul ii's nine day pilgrimage to poland. almost one third of the nation turned out to see him while the rest of the country and the world followed his trip on television and radio. on his first day

the democrat machine as the newt gingrich would call it. i guess liberalism.big defining themes here that he wanted to define politics. and he built a grassroots following. and that was the source of his power. a big source of his power and rise in the house. >> with that of course, today you have the use of social media. to communicate with the big national audience. like that. it's become almost a truism right? that silos and news media and the use of social media are forces behind the tribalism of the era. how important a factor to see that shifting to today for a second? is it cause or effect? >> yeah, i mean -- i think there is a certain level of, it is always there. the question of what gets the filters that exist in media. and that era that gingrich sort of came to washington in late 1970s, back then it was the big three. abc, cbs, nbc. those are the major sources of television news. no cnn, no msnbc, no fox news channel. and the daily newspaper. i think what that meant was, he created on the surface a lot more consensus and politics

mark: newt gingrich.we're watching the returns, are there a couple of states, couple of house races we should keep our eye on to get a feel for what might be trending? >> think in the house, if you look at barbara comstock in northern virginia and dave bratt around richmond, those two races are important signals, and if the republicans keep both of them, no possibility the democrats get control of the house. if we lose both of them, it could be a really long night. i think they're really central as a weather vane what's going to happen. i think in the senate on the east side, bob huingen is running a great race in new jersey, a long shot race. if he's winning in new jersey election night, it's going to be a really long night for the democrats. mark: let's say he loses and it's close? still a long night? >> potentially a long night. you go further west where karen housley is running against the appointed replacement for al franken and because of the impact of ellison who has all sorts of problems, dragging

for the narrative of the book, i start during newt gingrich as speaker. it a lot of people, represented a new sort of politics, a nationalization and a level of scorched earth warfare that at least two people at the moment, seemed like something new. there had been previous times in american history where we had seen that in various forms, but i tell the story of deterioration from newt gingrich to the president. greg sargent is the author with us. if you want to join the conversation -- define the term democratic backsliding? it can mean different things for political scientists. there are overt and dramatic versions of it like coups and military takeovers. the type i'm referring to is more incremental and subtle. for political scientists, when there iscurs a level of partisan capture of the rules of political alarmingon that seem and undemocratic. these are subtle things and they are hard to measure. for instance, the advent of partisan gerrymandering during the last decade, where voter suppression. those represent democratic backsliding because the rul

so gingrich became speaker in 95 so certainly thereafter that he came to congress. he was a hard person to believe because he would change the story from meaning to meaning and he was pretty ruthless. the first thing he did was take a 4.50 and dollar book contract to do two books that harpercollins and harpercollins, this is murdoch's company they have a habit of buying off politicians. they paid china a million dollars for a book that wasn't readable from what i've heard. they gave margaret thatcher, he gave margaret thatcher mr. murdoch did i think 5.4 million if i'm not mistaken. they have ways to do these things. that was the way they chose to do it. in the end he was pressured on that issue. it was just a whole host of other issues. they are in the book. i think he was not only double and the om -- his own person that followed him dennis hastert who was the longest speaker in the history of the country and people don't realize that. they got along reasonably well together but hastert mentioned you could never pin him down or he would change his position all the

it was one word, dole/gingrich.g dole by eight points back in '96, wasn't even close. obama got to run against mitt romney whose venture capital background gave the obama team an opening to paint him as hos toil to the working class. romney played right into that with a comment he made about 47% of americans who he said were dependent on government. obama ended up winning with 51% of the vote to romney's, you got it, 47%. so will trump catch the same breaks that clinton and obama got? well, rite nght now, not even carknack the magnificent could say who the they will elect. opting for someone promising to fight trump fire with more fire. you democrats use their new power in the house, how aggressively they use it to go after trump. that will depend on who emerges as the new house speaker. that's still not entirely clear. we also don't know how the economy is going to be two years from now. have trump and the gop with their tax cuts and regulatory moves squeezed everything they can out of it? or can that joyride keep

i see a line from gingrich to palin to trump.mp is full-throated unapologetic expression from the very top of our government, but it was beginning a long time ago, 20 years ago with gingrich, and gingrich now and surprisingly is a big fan of donald trump, because they understand each other. they speak that same tribal language, which is both partisan republican and also it's the interests of white americans, white christian, kind of rural americans. that's the republican party today. >> democrats certainly have their own identity politics as well. >> yes, yes. i mean, hillary clinton's campaign always singled out and kind of called out the different groups in her coalition, and this is sort of a normal democratic thing to do, gay americans, straight americans, black americans, white americans, hispanic -- to name every identity group, and then to kind of say but we're all in that together, but really what some voters hear is just the names of the groups, and so they don't think this is all of us. they think no, she's actually tal

he immediately worked with newt gingrich. it indicates where republicans lose the house, too early to tell. what did do you think the message will be for both parties? >> i think the principle message ought to be that both ought to govern the country. that's what the american people want. when i was chief of staff and bill clinton lost house and senate. there was a lot of concern by the president whether or not his agenda would be impacted. what we found was that ultimately, both the president and speaker gingrich decided that it would be better to govern. we did go through some rough times. the republicans did shut the government down. that created a backlash and i think ultimately newt gingrich made the decision it would be better for the party to cut deals with president clinton. the same thing is true now. democrats take control of the house, it would behoove them to see if there's some areas they can work out compromises with the president in order to get some things done. i think that's what the american really want. >>

gingrich believed clinton would cave on that. when he ultimately did not, republicans took the blame. their popularity sank and clinton's rose. that was part of the turnaround to his reelection. host: we heard president trump say this could possibly be a beautiful relationship. do you see him moving toward the center or the democrats? guest: one of the things that makes it more difficult to project what trump might do is that unlike president clinton, trump himself doesn't have one terribly strong policy , and toce of his own the extent that he does, sometimes they don't align with what congressional republicans want. he mentioned infrastructure. if i were to pick a couple of issues where maybe there is some possibility for bipartisan legislating, infrastructure would be one, prescription drugs would be another. we have seen president trump is quite hard to pin down as a legislative actor. that makes it very difficult to know what to expect. host: if you are mitch mcconnell, what are you thinking moving forward? guest: i think yo

i mean, i was troubled by the behavior of people like newt gingrich, sarah palin, the tea party. thought there was a kind of absolutist ethos, take no prisoners, and an unwillingness to compromise or to achieve results. but i'll be honest with you -- i would not have left if it had not been for donald trump. that was the shock i needed to make a major change in my life and to walk out of the republican party. and once i did that, i realized, "oh, wait a second. there was all this other really disturbing stuff that i kind of turned a blind eye to in the name of movement solidarity." >> because one of the lines you use in your book is that donald trump stormed the castle. and it's my view that parts of the movement were corroded enough already that he walked in the front door. >> oh, absolutely. i mean, he did not come out of nowhere. there were a lot of trends that allowed him to do what he did. and in my book, i trace it back all the way to the birth of the modern conservative movement, in the 1950s, and looking back on it with a more skeptical eye than i had in the past, i reali

isn't this the guy who works with newt gingrich, suggested the policies are described with traders?> those are a joke and i went him, i want the world to know i didn't write that. that came out of gopac and before i met newt gingrich, because of the web and how it works, when one person writes a lie everyone else assumes it is true. >> the republican background and you suggested ways for republicans to win elections, that was your job. >> they made a commitment to do it and they invited voters to sort them out. in politics and justice and the media it is accountability. >> any tactics of your past and are you moving to a different place to find common ground, that is not a partisan word. >> hard to be a partisan when you see the damage done. i still have my philosophy and believe in a more efficient and effective government and accountability. >> you consider yourself a republican? >> some things they don't believe in. in the inner-city the programs, democratic programs, billions of dollars, have failed. people from good project and good partners, they are listening now. they are ma

remember we ran against gingrich? their gingrich is pelosi. democratic party is in a certain sense on the ascendancy. donald trump needs someone to blame for the lack of progress. and she is blocking it all. she is far left, she is old world. she should go. she is the problem. liz: we have the daily beast reporting that adam schiff will hire money laundering experts to look into president trump's russia connections. do you think this strategy will work? >> i think there will across certain segment of the party for whom it will be popular. but there are people in my district, cheryl didn't campaign against trump. she campaigned as a moderate. conor lamb. but some had a more moderate cast. i don't think this helps them. and what doug is saying is mrs. pelosi provide a convenient face for donald trump to blame for all this. liz: do you think nancy pelosi is aware of that? he is aware of it. she is speaker, and she'll be one of the most of powerful people in washington. that's what she wants and she'll play the hand she has been dealt, which bill

acting like a bunch of dixiecratscrats and wae and the 1990s were another turning point when newt gingrich got up in a speech and said, democrats are the enemy of the american people, we are fighting a civil war and it must be conducted with a savagery and intensity equal to a civil war, and, i mean, it's going to be lard for the -- for a constitutional democracy for it to function when political parties are viewing one another in those terms. [inaudible] >> i see a 30-year cycle. we're not there yet. i want to go back outside again and start crying and see sonia sotomayor. she is my touchstone but i feel it's coming but going to have to be a massive revolution and has to come from ongoing people like in my era, the of 60s. >> has to come from automatic -- all of us. you what enabled the new deal, not only was franklin roosevelt elected president in 1932, he was elected with on the wave of a genuine movement. there was a democratic wave, progressive wave, in that election and it continued into '34 and '36 and so he was able to make these wholesale changes in american life, say, bernie sand

got a lot done together and that was a good working relationship but president clinton and newt gingrichmore similar than nancy pelosi and donald trump. everything is very divided. >> i don't know about nancy pelosi. trump held out an olive branch, she has bunch of craziness in her party, not the democratic party of back when but why not? let's see if she is willing to deal. a bunch of things. healthcare. rob: a tax cut, one of the things you can see coming to fruition. >> looks less likely now than it did a couple weeks back but the tax code remains a mess, there are things trump wanted and didn't get, he got something huge in terms of corporate tax rate but no reason our tax code has to be as long as it is in the reason it is long as it has all these perks and boondoggles for people. that is the stuff we want to get rid of. that is something republicans said they want to do. the 5 the tax code. rob: thank you for your time this morning. 36 after the hour. he said only debt could stop him from serving a full term as new york's governor but is andrew cuomo eyeing a presidential run? than

i was thinking of the clinton impeachment scandal where newt gingrich was simultaneously having his own affair with a congressional aide. of people example being outraged by one thing but practicing something different in private and there being some ambiguity there. we seem -- we see that same social hotspot where there are mixed feelings and some people are outraged and others are secretly accepting of the practice that is going on. >> if you look at what has been referred to as the gilded age and the rockefellers and the carnegie's. in your area of research what have you learned about the coachman and other scandals? >> the coachman were a symbol -- a status symbol. status was important to these people. often had the most expensive uniform. they presented themselves on top of the carriage, so a lot of people would show up to a ball and it would be preceded by their coachman. people would recognize, that is the vanderbilt coachman or the carnegie coachman. they would hire her these men in part for their look. they wanted them to be handsome with a good physique. there were hiring peop

for more on this let's bring in newt gingrich, former speaker of the house. morning. what is going on in florida? >> you know, you almost couldn't make it up if you were writing a novel. this is the second time that broward county has been a total disaster and every time you turn around there is something weird going on. how do you -- i almost feel sad for them. how do you miss a deadline by two minutes? you missed it by two hours or five hours, but two minutes? the whole thing is a fiasco. i think rick scott will be the senator. the numbers are much bigger than have ever been changed in a recount in american history. so i think in the end he will be the senator. but it really makes the whole process of elections in florida in need of significant overhaul and in three counties in particular. most of the state seems to get it. most of the state seems to do their job calmly, efficiently. but in those three counties there is consistently a mess. i hope that the new governor, the new attorney general will take steps along with the secretary of state to clean it u

gingrich was the better politician than he. he figured out how to nationalize the government. >> neil: one thing about bill clinton, he could have followed the parade or he led it. he led it with welfare and all the other things and went on to get re-elected easily. i'm wondering what kind of things this president could take if he is faced with the same circumstances. >> you know, sometimes when you go through hardships, you learn how to become more centrist, you learn how to reach out to the people on the other side. >> you figure out what went wrong. these kinds of things help leaders all the time. clinton learned. he was more of a centrist after that he reached over and he easily won that re-election. that's true for leaders in general. sometimes adversity will shape you. i think if i could just get in my favorite mid-term election is 1942. the democrats lost badly. it was partly because the war wasn't going well. it was going to be -- in north africa, right before the mid-term. roosevelt said it's up to you to decide, not t

i think a good faith started to be lost in a dramatic way with newt gingrich and tom delay. [applause] >> in the mid-1990s when newt gingrich was saying democrats are the enemy of the american people and conservatives are waging a civil war in this country and has to be fought with the savagery and intensity of the civil war. when you start going down that road it is very difficult for a constitutional democracy like ours to function. >> been writes about this, hillary was a radical incrementalist. her policies were very much about incremental change. she hated this slogan but her brooklyn campaign headquarters that my only promise is i won't overpromise. did you miss the memo that the country elects men who wildly overpromise? she was important to her not to overpromise and getting back to her wall street speeches, she was at the state department, when she was a senator she was in touch with people, she would go to her upstate constituents, she was an involved senator and you felt that when she ran into thousand 8. she was a secretary of state traveling the country, she mis

in moments, we're going to speak with former speaker newt gingrich about a stunning nonconcession inhat georgia gubernatorial election. and a promised federal lawsuit by the democrat stacey abrams. this after she slowly comes to the conclusion she's not going to be the next governor of georgia. we're going to bring you a report about what's really happening to women and children inside of one of those caravans in mexico. raymond arroyo is here for friday follies. he's going to expose this emotional gofundme campaign that looks like it defrauded thousands of people. plus, he exposes why van jones is finally praising the president. stacey abrams came out earlier today. and while she claimed she probably doesn't have a victory in this race, she's still falling short of making a concession to brian kemp. she said she's file a federal lawsuit for gross mismanagement of the process. you don't like how the election is playing out, so you threaten legal action and call for an entire re-election. after brow-beating trump over whether he would accept the results of the presidential election, t

yesterday republican congressman karen handel conceded in the district once held by newt gingrich.ated by loose si mcbath, a former light attendant, breast cancer survivor and a gun control advocate whose teenage son jordan davis was shot and killed in 2012 following a dispute over music at a gas station. >> house republicans are reacting to these comments from the president who mocked them at the white house on wednesday. take a listen. >> you had some that decided to let's stay away, let's stay away. they did very poorly. i'm not sure that i should be happy or sad, but i feel just fine about it. carlos curbela. >> donald trump stated that had i been more aligned with him, i may have won. let's check. my colleag he included a shrugging emoji there. >> mia love. i saw mia love. she'd call me all the time to help her with a hostage situation. being held hostage in venezuela. but mia love gave me no love and she lost. too bad. sorry about that, mia. >> love's campaign manager dave hanson revealed yesterday that the president had actually recorded a robocall for the congresswoman sayi

i haven't you heard agree with newt gingrich all that often.sting context. >> it's a new day. thanks. >>> what we're going to do now is turn right back to our on the ground reporting in this historic fight. a judge rejecting claims of voter frauds. voter frauds >>> welcome back. reporting live right here from broward county, florida. a state judge rebutting some republican claims there was vote r frau frauds. the judge did agree to beef up security at the sight. that's part of what's behind me. the judge said, no evidence of fraud despite claims like this from scott and trump. >> senator nelson is trying to commit fraud to try to win this election. that's all this is. >> you think that's the senator himself is committing fraud? >> well, it's his team. >> all of a sudden they are finding votes out of nowhere and rick scott, who won by, it was close but he won by a comfortable margin. every couple of hours it goes down a little bit. >> i will not sit idly by while unethical liberals try to steal this election from the great people of florida. >>

gingrich is giving them very good advice and he is saying take it for me. i screwed up.screwed up and we did too many investigations and it hurt us going forward. >> juan: biden, the democrats right now, that's their number-one pick. >> dana: i think if i were biden's people, i wouldn't want to be considered the number-one pick right now. you want to be the number-one pick in 18 months. >> juan: 30 something percent. >> dana: you don't want to be the one at the top and they are taking swings at you. >> juan: michael moore mentioned michelle obama, sully sullenberger. he didn't mention oprah. what about michael avenatti? >> greg: the litigating lollipop. he has fire and fury but no resume and he will be in jail soon. you know what moore was waiting for? the chorus of them to say you. please run. please run or at least waddle. you are describing yourself. and he is. the antithesis of trump really is michael moore. boisterous. does look a little like large marge from pee-wee's. he knows how to get the base going with his movies. the dems will have an advantage with the medi

gingrich had.hat's the collection shows is .hat he had a curious mind he was involved in a wide variety of issues. people whort with were involved in a wide variety of issues, as well. when i came to people taking note of him, or something he has , or something he did, he would always say, what is the big fuss? day, he wouldthe turn to us and say, that was cool. hand, if he could be heard now, he would say, why the big fuss? hand, he would feel that heut the thought was able to benefit others now. diamondhead state monument is one of hawaii's most mechanized landmarks. the volcanic crater is a popular hiking spot and nbc and from one of the busiest tourist areas in oahu. we continue our special look at hawaii with author sidney okada on the story of the last hawaiian monarch. >> my book starts and ends with my narrative of growing up on maui and trying to find out why we do not have land. ,nstead of feeling disempowered having gone through the documents and being immersed in all of that information

. >> that's newt gingrich's seat, by the way. >> newt gingrich's seat now held by an african-american>> so there is a lot of change. >> there is a lot of change happening but the old order is not going easy. >> what will activists do in response to people like gillum and brian kemp governing. >> activists have been working around pushing this idea of voter suppression. they've been screaming prior to this talking about the full restorationover the voting rights act and people were saying in 2013 when the stripping of section 5, the preclearance clause, that we would see this and we are witnessing what activists have been doing so there's a lot of energy on the ground and we'll see they're rising up. there's the negative connotation but positive work on the ground. >> i think the case about -- kemp was saying don't worry, we don't need preclearance. let me just take these 1.2 million people off the rolls. thank you both very much. the last word is next. i just got my ancestrydna. results: 74% italian. and i found out that i'm from the big toe of that sexy italian boot! calabria. it eve

joining us now is newt gingrich.s. >> good to be with you what are your expectations for tomorrow. there was a letter by 16 democrats that say we do not want nancy pelosi back as speaker even though some of them actually retracted that in the days following. >> look, i think nancy pelosi will win the party vote tomorrow. she'll have a handful of people saying they won't vote for her on the floor because their goal is never to beat her in the caucus. it's impossible. she has many, many too many votes. their goal is to say that they would withhold their vote on the floor and block her from getting a majority to be speaker when the new congress meets. i think that's an impossible strategy. her party just won a big election. i think they may have picked up 40 seats. she did a great deal, more than any other person, to raise the money to campaign for the candidates. she has a nationwide network. she's methodically as you pointed out picking off people who are never pelosi and then they become well maybe pelosi and then th

>> we thought that was as bad as it could be and we speak of that -- of the gingrich/clinton days as the good old days now. they started a process that was about restricting access to voting, restricting people's voices and they pursued an economic strategy that was about tax cuts of rich people. it didn't help the people that were actually voting for them. so donald trump comes in and high jacks their party. and then they, and then they have a vote in congress where they are losing 40 seats. and then that is -- i think what they are reaping what they have been sowing for about, you know, for a couple of decades now. >> norm, what are you expecting from republicans in what could be a lame duck session now before they have to surrender power to the democrats? >> well, there isn't much on the agenda for the republicans in the house, except that we're going to have a vote in the first week of december on whether to continue to fund the government through the remainder of the fiscal year, into october. trump has threatened, at least, to shut the government down unless he gets full fundin

the way newt gingrich bill clinton's foil. newt gingrich wasill clinton's best friend in 1996. >> all right. >> thank you, chuck. >> sounds like you think she is going to be back. thank you, chuck. >> something we don't know would ve to happen. >>> "meet the press" airs 10:30 sunday morning here on nbc4. we'll see you then, chuck. >>> the medal of freedom awarded to the late justice antonin scalia. up, his son talks about how his father was a i believe to turn ideological i foento friends in thear ping time. it's an interesting conversation. >>> and get your puffy coatat a your ready ar e. >>> well, as nasty as yesterday was, today was just that nice. >> it looks like nothing happened. >> sunshine. >> when you walked outside today, it looked like nothing ever happened. >> amelia, it was great to see warm sunshine to make some of that nasty frozen stuff disappear. >> absolutely. and then the winds as well to help dry out the ground. but i do want the stress there could be isolated slick spots out there tomorrow morning, especia

newt gingrich being first and foremost. he leads the so-called republican revolution in '94. and makes it clear they're going to use tactics that haven't been used before. i think you also see an enormous shift in the media. there's a tectonic shift that happens and these two forces kind of collide. and so i was more interested in the larger picture leading up to '98. i did interview bob livingston, and we do discuss what was referred to at the time as sexual mccarthyism and the fact larry flynt, the publisher of a pornographic magazines offers a million dollar reward for anyone who will give him information on republicans who have had an affair. and larry flynn gets a lot of information and bob livingston refers to himself as being flynted and is forced to resign. >> let's get back to monica lewinsky because she is the main scoop that you have in this story. let's get back to some of what might resonate today with the fbi. this is what she says when she was finally entrapped by linda tripp and it led to her being imprisoned in a hotel room practically and all of the wiretapp

. >> they haven't forgotten the newt gingrich overreach in 1994. i think that democrats are going out of their way right now to kind of figure out how you strike a balance because they know it can back fire on them. most of them were there for that. nancy pelosi was there for that. so she knows. >> are you referring to government shutdown? >> newt gingrich impeachment, overreach. i meant overreach. >> it was pretty effective. the winds have really shifted on the war. there was such a desire for change that led to obama. >> if you want to do it about policy, if you want to do it about what happened at the border and the hurricane, those are policy issues that this is congress's job is oversight. if you focus only say on the tax returns which bob mueller has and who knows what is in them? then i think it becomes a different type of an issue for them. i think that leaves them a little bit more vulnerable. >> i think the risk for president trump is that it is not just that congress can have oversight over him personally, but also just the entire federa

. >> to that effect, the former house speaker, newt gingrich, said don't get ahead of yourselves, guysre referring to 1,000 subpoenas. when bill clinton was president, he said that it back fired. he had a warning specifically for the democrats like yourself. here's what he said. >> if all you do is end up in investigations, which unfortunately we did in '98, it actually hurts you because the country wants to see things work. the country doesn't want to have the house democrats spend all day every day in investigations and in open warfare against the president. >> so gingrich had that massive win, right, in 1994. that clinton focus back fired and they lost seats in the house in 1998. is he right? >> well, he's right if what he means by that is don't do what burton did. but if what he means is continue the republican practice of the last two years of essentially looking at zero ethical issues, zero controversial policy issues, zero of the things that concern all of us about this presidency, we will not take that advice. >> you say a thousand is too many, but -- that sounds like a lot. wa
