ainsley: let's bring in newt gingrich, former speaker of the house.he writes a newsletter available at newt gingrich 360.com goorgets, good morning. ainsley: the legal briefs are out. what are they called the house managers oh the democrats and then trump's team. so president trump's legal. >> the president's team. ainsley: that's right. his team says the articles themselves and the rigged process that brought them here are brazenly political act by house democrats that must be rejected. the democratic house legal brief says the opposite. president trump is engaged in the trifecta of constitutional misconducted. warranting removal. he is the framer's worst nightmare come to life. what do you think about these? >> sure. i think doug collins in the quote you just said, sort of captured, look, democrats, particularly partisan democrats, hate donald trump. they get up every morning knowing that they hate donald trump. they watch him tweet something and hate him even more. what they know is he ought to be impeached because is he donald trump. this is the f

fox news contributor, former speaker of the house, newt gingrich. i think that's everything we need to hear from john bolton per your reaction. >> i think first of all, they are going down a total dead alley, because the president is going to impose executive peer privilege that would have to go to court. they want to drag this out another month ago, they have an opportunity to do it, but the country is already opposed to dragging it out. david axelrod, who was a key person to barack obama, had a recent column that said he sat through a focus group of democrats in chicago and it was 80 minutes, 80 minutes before any of them mentioned the impeachment, at which point everyone in the group said that's over, it's not going to happen, i don't want to talk about it. i said, democrats need to understand, this is not working. the democrats ought to be voting to have no more witnesses. the democrats, frankly, want to vote to close it down tomorrow. every day this goes on, the democrats look smaller, more political, more destructive of america, and i think th

gingrich -- from george wallace to newt gingrich and the whole george wallace centric story of the rise of modern conservatism. for a while, that was out. that was challenged by the goldwater renaissance, the focus on sun belt politics. how innteresting to see the past few years, some of those same folks are interested in george wallace. george wallace is back in a big way and suddenly we are nourished -- we are interested in understanding him again. even when we have seeming dramatic, provocative, collective statements of a shift in the historiography, we also have within those collections themselves the seeds of the next swing, or the next big thing. if you go back to myth of southern exceptionalism, the last essay is nancy mclean and it is called the neo-confederacy versus the new deal. that isa volume supposedly collectively challenging the notion of southern history and telling a story of post-world war ii modernization, there are still the seeds of what comes next. what comes next is not simply a swing back to the other side. that argument looks different based on the historiograp

there are people on the other side of the aisle, like newt gingrich who didn't want to be part of it.would rather stick needles in his eyes than participate. what does that say? could critics say, it's too one sided? >> look, it's her own prerogative to tell her own story and her own terms just as it's newt gingrich's prerogative to not participate. i think one of the reasons why he was asked to participate is because he did play a pivotal roll during the impeachment process of president clinton. if he doesn't want to tell his side of the story, that's up to him. i'm so excited that hillary clinton is at a stage in her professional life and career where she can define her own legacy. >> what about the hollywood reporter which did speak to her directly about the series and her criticism of bernie sanders where she says, nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done, he was a career politician, it's all just bologna and i feel bad people got sucked into it? do you have a sense of how she has felt about bernie sanders, not necessarily long-term, but let's face it,

i've known matt s since the newt gingrich polling years. it's on video.i' i've got a copy. donald trump was going to win. not many posters were saying this part 68%. he did a poll of utah. they want president s trump acquitted. 64% oppose additional witnesses. 60% would be less likely to support you if you voted to keep the charade going on call witnesses. by the way, think about all those democrats that are asking you to trust them. think about who is begging for witnesses. there he is. the compromised, in this particular case, corrupt, and we all know, congenital liar by the name of adam schiff. how could anyone in good what isce ever truste merely a pretty despicable sociopath? his hands have been on fire for three consecutive years. he lied about russia, collusion, fisa, he lied about the fisa application and the ukraine phone call. he lied about the whistle-blower. and he even lied more today. in fact, we caught him red-handed today lying about the transcript between the president, president trump and president zelenksy. take a look. >> i want you to do me a favor, tho

newt gingrich looked at the politics involved, and all these democrats say you're right.t he was a bad person? here is what the former speaker said 20 minutes ago here on the show. >> when they chant "death to america" maybe what they mean is death to america. now the fact that you have a bunch of democrats whose first instinct, their immediate instinct is whatever trump has done is wrong, why can't democrats just admit, this was a bad person, he killed at least 700 americans, badly wounded thousands, and he was actively engaged in trying to drive america out of the middle east. trump is so different from obama is that when you wage war on trump, he's going to wage war back. >> brian: top iranian official s say yeah there will be revenge but they're not seeking it, they are seeking it against military sites and then they say if we're going to do something comparable and we asked the u.s. not to hit back, after that because we don't want war. nice try. ainsley: we'll hit you but don't hit us back. >> brian: kellyanne conway will be live at 8:35 eastern time. >> steve: did

of a politician when you and i were coming up in the journalism world in the republican party named newto slept on his couch in his office and said things that pissed everybody off all the time, and in particular, his republican colleagues, because he didn't want to tow the line and the media loves the newt gingrich story because he had a lot of interesting idea, and anyway, we know how that played out. that's my observation for the day about aoc. david: gary? >> well i'm going to try to give you an answer, pelosi better befriend aoc and quickly. republicans have to be cheering this move because you can see right before our eyes the democratic party splinterring. now we have this sanders aoc wing to say basically look, we're going to go our own way and create a sub-party call it the squad plus, the squad 2.0, and forget about the elders in the democratic party. aoc clearly is now a power broker, and the only way pelosi can reign her in is to say do you know what? let's join together. she's not going to do that. pelosi's old school, of course she wants to be the one in charge. i applaud a

one guy i know was on a show with newt gingrich called crossfire. these guys were paid to sit together, but they are human beings and started talking and realized they had so much in common so they decided to last segment of the show was going to be called cease fire and they would talk about the things they agree on. guess what the producers did? they stopped it because they said ratings go down. you want to hand off to the next show with high ratings. all of us have to take responsibility for what is happening to ideas of truth and information because we are not as divided as our media wants us to be. 90% of americans believe on commonsense gun safety but we can't pass laws. obamacare, you poll republicans, significant amounts against it. you take obama's name off of it, and poll the individual policies, people love it. i don't buy into that and so i'm going to do everything i can for due process. the media plays an important role, and we have to start addressing the erosion of our institutions, the erosions of trust and what we are doing towards

through three speakers within a couple of days, first with the resignation of speech or -- of speaker newt gingrich. bob livingston became the next in line, then what happened? >> there was a scramble. allies bob livingston's tried to talk him out of it. --had made the decision to resigned with some agony. was aigned because there full on press in the democratic world. larry flynt was asking for anyone to come forward with information about any of the republicans to come forward with information it had been reported, and he understood that larry flynt was going to publish this. friends,colleagues, my especially my wife and family, i have hurt you deeply and i beg your forgiveness. i was prepared to lead as speaker and i believe i had it fine job, but i cannot do that job. a house memberen who confessed to his wife that he was absolutely certain that it will get published. proactively trying to head off what he thought would be disaster. president clinton and his defenders knew that there were a variety of house members at that time who had a reputation for stepping out on their family rela

now let's take newt gingrich live.iraq, a half an hour before dawn there in that region? >> well i think it was almost a public relations gesture. i think they believe they have to look tough. they just lost their most important and most powerful general. they had to do something. what they did was very carefully calculated, i assume that they deliberately avoided killing americans, and basically had a show of a demonstration of force without any immediate human consequence. so they left it up to the president. he can play it either way and say look, no americans were killed, therefore i don't need to retaliate, or he can say, you know, you fire these missiles and i said if you did that i'm going to retaliate but i don't think they moved in a way which forces us to retaliate, but i want to make a deeper point. the iranian dictatorship has been a war with the united states at least since november of 1979. they have engaged in action after action after action. there have been 52 different court decisions in the u.s.. the

who afforded zero rights, zero due process, basic fundamental fairness to president trump, the way newt gingrich did with clinton. it appears he tampered, perhaps, with witnesses. remember, he actually fabricated a transcript that didn't exist. of course, he lied about all of it. schiff doesn't apparently care about constitutional duties. now, since 2016, democrats have cared about one thing, one thing only, destroying it by any means possible, donald trump. this is a desperate last ditch attempt and it has been an absolute failure. meanwhile, the trump agenda continues to be an absolute success. the unemployment, wow. in spite of all of the noise and all the conspiracy theories and all of the hoaxes, it is now at the lowest rate since 1969. many of you watching and probably weren't born yet. that's 3.5%. labor, underutilized rates, you know, the forgotten men and women, disproportionately negatively impacted by biden and his economy, yep, they are actually outpacing the growth of high income earners. wow. the rich. earnings, growth among every race, every gender, tax bracket is far exc

example in that line was at the end of last year we arrested a fellow who had stolen what we call the newt rent optimizer which was basically software that helps farmers determine how much and when to water their fields and how to fertilize their fields depending on weather conditions, soil conditions, crops, stole that and was bringing it over to china. hen the company noticed that had downloaded all of this and we were actually able to stop at the airport and take the software hat had the on it. so if we can get involved early enough and that obviously requires the targets to be aware of the fact that they've been stolen from early enough. but if we can do that then i think we could take great benefit the will target in addition to obviously hen pursuing the case against the wrong doer. >> how do you distinguish there's a lot of chinese students doing base basic scientific research as graduates. how do you distinguish somebody doing research for his or her own purposes from somebody with nefarious intent? it seems that could be fuzzy. imprisoning or detaining or arresting somebody just d

. >> sean: you pointed this out every day, fighting for the ride for the fairness that newt gingrich offered bill clinton and his attorneys when he was speaker of the house. >> it's crazy to think that nancy pelosi impeached the president for obstructing the house when she is obstructing the house of the united states senate. how democrats got addicted to impeachment. now they can't shake the craving. they are even talking about getting another fix before the election. one of my colleagues on the democratic said they may have additional articles of impeachment. 2020 is a new year, it brought no new agenda for democrats. the trump economy is roaring and the american people are doing better. they are using impeachment to distract the people. they need that distraction. we don't. which is i am so glad you laid out a trump doctrine in iran that doesn't require boots on the ground. kill the terrorists and bring our troops home. >> sean: 100%. we have the military capability of to do it. coming up disturbing allegations about zero experience hunter biden and sleepy joe not getting a billio

all the considerations newt gingrich, none of which were given to president trump.ost importantly, no legitimate impeachable offense and no crime. now, it's time for the u.s. senate to fulfill your constitutional duty. your senators need to hear from you. now, here the democrats pathetic case. y the house has the sole power constitutionally to impeach. the senate has the sole power to hold the trial. okay, they impeach them. bring your case, make your case. and then the senate renders a verdict. there is no impeachable offense here. join us now with more. a member of the president's legal team. all right, let's get the legal case here. there is no crime. i've read the summary. it was very powerful. but here we are. >> we are here. yeah, tomorrow and at 1:00 p.m. eastern time, this begins. the trial in the senate, as you've said. the senate has the sole power to try. they will be sitting in as jurors. tomorrow will be the rule day wear which determine how this is all going to work out and will there be amendments offered and things like that. again, how long this goe

and newt gingrich did not hand out the souvenir pins either. it was a lot different.ning me now don ben gino, the more i look at this thing it was not just about impeaching the president because they can't beat them in 2020. this is about protecting bonnie skin trump had zeroed in on the biden skin and its all protecting joe as we go forward, and we will see if they call where's hunter. because now wears, as the president said is his first name? >> there is more coming out with the biden ukraine scandal where you are absolute correct the democrats have motive when it's impure when it comes to things like this. donald trump will be the first president in american history impeach for winning the election. it's kind of a high crime for that. i'm glad you highlighted help losey can keep her talking points straight. this whole this is so sad, this is so somber and got a go to church and pray. and then she has this thing with the pens it looks like an opera episode. you get a car, you get a car, you can depend you can depend. it's humiliating at least get your folk focus st

newt gingrich, i urge them to form a coalition.o take on romney, they had to work together and instead they were ripping together. romney comes out smelling like a rose. why would they both focus on joe biden? >> it makes no sense. the running against each other. we are four weeks from the primary, or the caucuses. i don't think it's going to work this time. the debate, they both came out strong. they said they are bigger, broader issues and we will not divide. the progressives have said, we are not going to do that. it was a nonissue in the debate. i don't know why warren, in her orbit. someone released this 2018 conversation, and then gets a run out of it. >> laura: i think she's lying. this goes back to the inauthenticity problem. he called her pocahontas, she ig a phony. she claims she was a native american and she wasn't. no one believes her. >> we have fake news and we have fake warren. so there you go. but i think for elizabeth warr elizabeth warren, it was a desperate move. we know that bernie sanders is gaining ground in s

my book on newt gingrich took three years. they usually take three to four years. host: and you are able to be edited by your wife and stay married. guest: yeah. i would say, we joke about that. i've discovered the habits of other writers, and their wives. mark twain, for instance, wrote most of his in hartford and was in a third floor office 10 and he drew a chalk line across the floor. nobody was allowed across the chalk line, not his daughters, the maids. the only want to cross the chalk line was his wife to edit his work. i'm trying to think of the writer, walter mitty. host: now that you said that, it has totally gone out of my mind. , jameshe was a server server, in the 1920's, one of those black-tie soirees with the champagne popping and people laughing and food and good times. he is just staring off into minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes. finally, she yells at him and says james, stop writing. he was writing in his head. you probably do the same thing and i do the same thing. that's one of the things i learned, you are thinking about the book all the time. ho

forest's engine newt and vision transformed the boating and fishing industry across our nation. no one i know has loved or served arkansas' great outdoors more than forest wood. whether as a entrepreneur, instructor, or former chairman f the arkansas game and fish commission, he was there to ensure people enjoyed the outdoors. he will forever be remembered as a legend in the fishing industry, and i believe his biggest asset was his redeeming personality. a loyal friend, mentor, and dedicated family man. his genuine smile and caring nature will be sorely missed. as he's laid to rest this week, i ask that you keep his life -- keep his wife and family in your prayers w that i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the chair wreck -- recognizes the gentlewoman from michigan, mrs. lawrence, for five minutes. mrs. lawrence: i ask permission to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mrs. lawrence: mr. speaker, on november 26, 2019, during the there iving holiday, a was a colla

they newt attack was coming for hours, so they were well protected in ply judgment.in my judgment. 15 missiles and a third of them don't work. they put 30 rockets into the last attack, the 11th attack when they wound a serviceman and killed the american citizen. here is what they chose not to do. we have 80,000 troops in the region. we have major bases, ground force bases in the region. i am not talking about iraq. we have major air force and naval bases in the region all accessible by iranian missiles. they chose to go near none of those. and they could have killed a significant amount of americans there. why didn't they do that? they clearly knew what the response would be from president trump. trish: next, have you noticed the liberal media switch to a new anti-trump catch phrase. >> an official impeachment inquiry. >> impeachment. >> impeachment inquiry. >> doing so would be considered a war crime. >> a war crime. >> a war crime. trish: former white house press secretary sean spicer after this. it's the next one. you always drive this slow? how did you make someo

and newt gingrich said bill clinton has already motivated our base to us and in hindsight, history haskind to that impeachment. there was a movement to describe president.on as an illegitimate at we should fear is -- losing is not fun but what is worse is a elections without consequences. judy: a quick question -- margareti am told and you were saying that some of the process or procedure tomorrow could be behind closed doors. is that healthy to the country? good questiois a sometimes, senators behind closed doors can be much more feel that not all ofheirhen they constituents are watching with every eye on them. closed door deliberations can be a helpful thing if senators want toeind way forward to fig out some sort of gosar deck moment to have -- catrtic moment to have. i don't think iwould be healthy if americans don't understand why tir senator made the decision they made. senators will need to knon out and expl their constituents their vote and i hope that is de in an open session. judy: a margaret tayl john hart, good to have you both with us. and our special livag covof the impea

and of course newt gingrich had an affair even during the impeachment we did not know about at the timehat later became public. he's currently married the woman he was with. it raises questions about where lines are. the heartclinton at of that but it was not -- he was not the -- he was impeached because he lied under oath about it. it was a hard case for republicans to make because it did seem like it was taking ultimate constitutional reprisal over a lie that seemed personal or trivial or somehow not worthy ofthe great cause impeachment in the constitution. the flipside is what you do about a president who commits a crime while in office? how do you have accountability. we have not settled that question. we kind of rewrite the rules a little bit, set the parameters and president for the next time. it's something that kind of made up as you go along. the framers were general in their use of the phrase in the constitution they left it to us to figure out what they meant. host:host: the third impeachment in 45 years. we will go first two rows in woodberry, new jersey with peter baker of
