so it was newt gingrich was in the 1990s and it was in the discussions that led to the getting rid of welfare as we know it. and he he seemed to think that instead of foster care we should be putting children back orphanages and like really punishing the parents and yeah, we should not be doing that and the part of the reason why i'm like, oh, i wish that politicians would read this book is because newt gingrich basically got that idea watching this 1930s movie, boys town, which is about a like an orphanage kind of run by catholic priests in in, i think it was in nebraska and they were they were wonderful in this movie. and mickey rooney is in it. and he really liked that movie. and he told hillary clinton, watch the movie. and so, like politicians into these stories, too. and that's what they think. things are like. and they don't they don't know the reality. they're not actually studying what's going on. and they they have they promote ridiculous like let's go back to orphanages. it was a bad idea when we were doing it in the 1800s. we shouldn't that again. so i don't know exactly w

now with more fox news contributor, former house speaker newt gingrich is with us. mr. speaker, great to great to see you. i've never seen anything like this in my life. you're the great historian. first, can you explain why would the democrats double down on hundreds, tens and tens of billions? it'll be hundreds of billions by the time it's over of reckless spending on the green new deal. woke policies, dei practices, transgenderism internationally, taking that money from the american people doubled down on men playing women's sports and doubled down on protecting people in this country illegally, many of them hardened criminals. why is that their strategy? >> well, i mean, first of all, when i watched the video you showed, i concluded that it was a real commentary on the decay of american education, that you had all these so-called leaders who are utterly, totally incapable of speaking in an understandable way. i mean, going around yelling curse words if you're an elected member of congress is just stupid. and it tells you how much our education system has decayed, th

if that was newt's point. >> it is. be a political calamity if they keep waiting and waiting or just don't get it done at all, steve. i mean, that's what you were going to say. please, go ahead, say it. if. >> okay. what i was going to say, to add to what a you guys were just talking about, is the congressional budget office score for the cost of the 10 is 10-year -- 10-year extension of the tax cut is $4 trillion. that's the most insane, crazy, lunatic score, and i've been doing this a long time. that isn't even close to the truth. these are the same people who seven years ago, you were there, larry, they told us it would cost $2 trillion to do the tax cut, and, in fact, the revenues have come in higher than if we hadn't done it at all. why are we living under congressional budge office which doesn't seem to know -- they have a cracked crystal ball. and you're right about this, there is no law that says the republicans have to live under this congressional budget office. larry: right. >> because they've been wrong, wro

i mean, he and i give as much credit to newt gingrich, to be honest. and the fact that he had such a bad first midterm and the era of big government is over, and the welfare as we know it, and they balance the budget, the two of them together, they work together. i see your party screaming and yelling and acting like lunatics. and you're smarter than that because that's not you. and you're kind of spinning a little on me because you got your kicked in this election, and everyone thought you were all going to win, well, i support everything. we all support point and a half, but but all you have to do, you can go to real clear politics. it's actually a conservative leaning site and they run all the poll averages. you can look them up. you can, but it's right there. it's this is not some kind of secret thing. all if you go back and you look at polling was actually very accurate in the 2024 election. i mean, it was a certain infinite stuff that that you can get that you can get wrong, but yeah, now look again, 13 point lead in the congressional race, the d

. >> newt, you echoed something when i just met you, and it was very similar to what newt has been sayingat he brought this country to the dance. this is the opportunity to be transformational and to have, i would argue, the most consequential presidency if we if we really dig down and do something that had never been done before, and that is get rid of this bureaucracy and i'm going to get to the specifics. you say the same thing. it's not done yet. and what did you mean. >> by that? i mean, when the election is really the opportunity to fix the system, it is not fixing the system itself. so it's the opportunity to fix the system and to restore the power of democracy. and, you know, people like it's funny how how often when these attacks occur, the thing that they're accusing the administration of is what they are guilty of. they're saying that things are being done, are unconstitutional, but what they are doing is unconstitutional. they are guilty of the crime of which they accuse us. >> that's always the first thing they do. he's in violation of the constitution. they don't even know w

when he comes to you know the biggest problems we've had from one of the other problems, hit was by newt gingrich when he took the putting down from five days a week three days a week numbers of congress, they stopped i used to, when my kids were growing up, i coached basketball, i coached baseball, and there was always a congressman from the democrat side and republican side sitting in the bleachers cheering for their kids. them don't do that anymore. they leave their families at home. they don't do anything to actually get to know each other. >> so what's the positive message? if you were running one right now, what is that message and how does that poll? >> the positive message is be for the things you're for and begin to rebuild trust in our institutions. don't -- and look, populism was always based on being against big, big government, big religion, big media, big business, and back in the early days, we used to always want to be against more of the bigs than the other side was against the bigs. that was the beginning of negative campaigns. but we used to be age to run negative camp

larry: this is bill clinton and newt gingrich, 30 years ago. >> i think one reason they are losing theirf permanent washington. they are terrified of what will be exposed, usaid is the tip of the iceberg, a great place to start there is a lot of fraud and apuce, but tip of the iceberg we open books, this important moment for republicans to be on side of good government and be reformers, that is what 2024 cycle is about. larry: transparency, they talk about looking at the fda, federal drug administration or cdc, it least transparent operation in history in earth as we know from the tony fauci days. elon musk is not changes policy, so much as he is trying to reform and improve efficiency, it sounds like a cliche over the years that is trillions. >> this is putting meat on the bones people talk about how the administrative state has gotten out of control, this is who that means, these people are unaccount an they work in agencies you never heard of, if they issue a guidance litter, it could destroy our livelihood, look no further than osha with vaccine mandates, seeing now dollars and cents

this is bill whether i know ton and newt gingrich.id is the tip of the iceberg and there's a lot of fraud and because. it's the tip of the iceberg and this is a real important moment for 24 cycle all about disrupters vs. the establishment. larry: trans-they're talking about the cdc and least transparent operation in the history of the earth from the tony fauci days. there's a lot of stuff we don't need and elon musk, 'em not changing policy so much as he's trying to reform and improve efficiency and sounds like a cliche and talking trillions. >> right, this is putting meat on the bones talking about administrative state getting out of control. this is actually what that means. these people are unaccountable and work in agencies you've never heard of and issue a guidance letter and a rule that acts as a law and congress never passed and could destroy livelihood and take liberty. look no further with a vaccine mandate and dollars and cents attached to bureaucracy that have lost their way and going rogue and president trump we have the a

bill and newt cut the fat and balanced the budget.ocrats are acting like we are witnessing a. >> let me remind you who set the house on fire. it was you. it feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are going to castrate your constitutional duty and hand it over to someone who is unelected. >> fire elon musk. he took control of our country's financial nuclear codes. >> house republicans have allowed billionaire elon musk and his gang of thieves to enter the u.s. treasury department, fired the people entrusted with secret, private information about americans and give them that access. >> elon musk is destroying our federal government. he feels he bought himself a president. >> now we have donald trump and his copresident elon musk and they are just running a wrecking ball through it. >> jesse: democrats want to audit you for a 600-dollar then mope payment. but when elon audits the government they are ready to storm the castle. wire democrats shocked? we are putting the government on a diet. trump and musk campaigned on it and one

tom's career on capitol hill spanned over 25 years, beginning under speaker newt gingrich and concluding under speaker nancy pelosi. so we are all thrilled that you are here today. we will have a q&a session at the end. this session is for you for you to learn about the sierra process procedure. so we want to make sure that we answer questions you may have so any time during this conversation, we encourage you to ask any questions and we will be to take them. so with that, thank you so much for being here. and i'll turn it over to the moderator, mike ferguson, to start our discussion. thank you. thanks for svetlana. thanks, everyone for being here. this is obviously a timely issue that we're starting a new administra session with unified government. eight years ago, i think it was really in that this really got going with sierra's. i think we did about 17 of them during the trump last trump administration, reversing rules. and so hopefully the senate and the house are to hit the ground running to get rid of some of biden rules over the coming. so i guess to start with, go to amanda over

the other hand, since the 1972 budget act, we've been -- only once balanced the budget that was when newts the president other than that it is just never worked because we've always done either an omnibus or continuing resolution so you don't go through the process of voting on individual item that's consequence of leadership keeping too close to the vest. rachel: yeah. i guess -- i guess my last question to you jason is, when you were in congress, did you understand what this agency was doing or was it so opaque that even members of congress didn't know? >> i don't think the degree -- doge and donald trump is opened it up like we've never seen before in the way it should be. but we held hearing after hearing on the kabul bank so many there's a billion dollars that went to the bank and direct payments by the hundreds of millions that was going there. we have the inspectors general coming up, they told me behind scene they only thought that one-third of the appropriations that congress is making and putting over there actually got to the finish line. everything else was stolen. put in the

what about that newt gingrich says if you get a separate tax cuts out of the other staff you better havely fast calendar number what are you expecting the large reconciliation bill on the president's desk by memorial day in number two will you be able to follow that up with tax cuts if you do this in two different bills. >> if you get the president the money he needs to control the border into begin on his defense enhancement iron dome and things like that that's what the senate does i think we can walk and chew gum at the same time. the freedom caucus said we don't care if it's one or two bills needs to be started now we need to get the president to get if it's one or two bills we don't care i agree with the speaker we need to have this done by summer i think we can do it but if we go with one big bill what were doing is seeing roadblocks in the house, that is the problem. maria: if you go with one big bill yet people in the house that are saying i'm not going to sign that or support that because the salt increase is not in their or i'm not going to support that because you're not cutti

out every aspect of what the president is doing, which is what bill clinton did in the mid- 90s with newth after the 1994 midterm elections. i think the democrats would do far better as joe manchin has suggested, jon fetterman and seeking common ground and common sense in offering a set of alternative policies rather than taking to the streets or taking to the courts and trying to personalize this in a way that arguably is backfiring. >> where would you recommend what policies would you recommend democrats work with trump? your talk about immigration. you mentioned government efficiency you could say we are for government efficiency just like the president and then say it but us, we want to preserve these programs, something like that. >> exactly. you want to emphasize programs to preserve. a key issue the democrats have not spoken about to the best of my knowledge is inflation. the cost of living. trump said he would do something about it. the democrats have said very, very little. i think this needs to be a programmatic differentiation agreement were possible disagreements where necessa

tom's career on capitol hill stand over 25 years beginning under speaker newt gingrich including under speaker nancy pelosi. so are thrilled that you are here today. we will have a q&a session at the end. this session is for you, for you to learn about the cra process and procedures so we wantt to make sure that we answer any questions that you may have so at any time during this conversation we encourage you ask any questions and we will be glad to take them. so with that thank you so much for being here. and i will turn it over to the moderator to the start of discussion, thank you. >> thanks, everyone, for being here. this is obviously a timely issue that we are starting a new administration with unified government 8 years ago it was in february this really got going with i cra's, we did about 17 of them during the trump -- last trump administration reversing obama rules so hopefully the senate and the house they already hit the ground run to go get rid of biden rules over the coming months. what are the relevant rules, what can kind of impact can it have. it's great to be back here

can you see newt gingrich, former house speaker in the second row there as officials start coming in.en the two minute warning yet. up next, the new secretary of state lays out the trump agenda in central america. we will have a live report on that. first, beyond our borders tonight, police in sweden say about 10 people have been killed during a shooting at an adult education center. they say that includes the gunman, the incident occurred about 125 miles west of stockholm. sweden's prime minister says it's the worst's mass shooting in that country's history. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy says ukraine has lost 145,000 people in the nearly three years since the invasion. 390,000 have been injured. president zelenskyy saying about 350,000 russians have been killed. up to 700,000 injured according to the ukrainians. and this is a live look at rome. one of the big stories there tonight, ferry prepares for the landmark launch of the first fully electric car in october. an electric father ferrari. 5% in revenues and core earnings this year. ferrari's much awaited ev showcased capi

until we can find a way to do what bill clinton and newt gingrich did.nd that gets our deficit down to zero. i know foreign aid small amount and i'm all for it and most of us are all for it. this seems frivolous. this is a political agenda. that is what i think that you see at the dnc. this is what they would support. >> ainsley: you hear elon musk want to wipe out some. thinks it's a good idea to wipe out. so federal agency. department of education one of those. linda mcmahon will take questions from the senators before her confirmation before she is -- for her nomination before she is confirmed. she is most likely going to focus on what shield do to help dedissolve that department. school choice and address the poor k through 12 achievement. the president said we are number 40 in the world but yet number one cost per pupil to pay for them to get an education. >> steve: indeed. that is one of the things that donald trump ran on. he said if elected i'm going to try to do my best to get rid of the department of education, send the power back to the people

what can you tell us newt. >> they have a lot of precious metals. to agree that there would be some type of payback using precious metals for the amount of aid that the united states has given. for example, ukrainians exports titanium. we import titanium. when you look at the crest there on the western part of kyiv, when you look at the precious metals that are there, i think it's a good idea to set up the economic partnership because it also provides security for ukraine. when they know the united states is involved economically, and we have an economic interest in ukraine, this is another part of the security guarantee for ukraine and they should look at it that way and i think as we go through the next few days, hopefully ukrainians will see that, they'll agree to the agreement as scott was in kyiv to talk about and we'll come out with some type of arrangement that sets us up for the future. we're not talking one or two dollars. we're talking hundreds of millions of dollars in the potential for rare earth minerals in ukraine. it's very rich here

maria: because newt gingrich was saying that if you don't address the tax extensions by june, you'res of getting that done. do you foresee an issue in terms of extending the tax cuts? >> no, we should be able to get them done. we should be able to get them done by the summer. there's a lot of work that started last year. all the tax pieces, whether corporate, small business, individuals, international tax, we worked on those quite a bit, starting last year. so we're ready to move on several issues, just the final negotiations in the senate and negotiateing with the house to be able to get it done. maria: and i know the border, how do you deal with the drug cartels if they're in fact running mexico as president trump just suggested? >> yeah, the northern states of mexico have the same state department designation as syria and yemen and iran. they're violent places that are not safe for any american to go, those northern states that are right along our border from california to texas. they've been run by cartels for a long time. that is an area that the mexican federallies do not go in

watch your step a time of year when there are newt all over the place and the japanese, a pool area.ese mating behaviors that you can watch and their winter and migration is triggered by the rain. so now through early march is the peak time for you view them. just watch where you step. >> yeah, i didn't get there here at the coastline today. when they do, it's you. good cause. >> there's a lot of you out there. it's good to see people enjoying this president's day outside that 3 day weekend. i mean, look at that gorgeous view half moon bay this morning. we had a little bit of cloud cover this morning. you're seeing more and more sunshine out there overall. pretty inviting looking day winds are calm. cloud cover is present, but not overwhelminge so you do have those bright spots. as i mentioned, winds pretty calm this morning. picking up just a little bit later on. but nothing major today tomorrow, both looking nice and dry. we only have one real opportunity of showers in this forecast and that will swing right by us. come wednesday of this week. there's your low pressure right here,

when he comes to you know the biggest problems we've had from one of the other problems, hit was by newt gingrich when he took the putting down from five days a week three days a week numbers of congress, they stopped bringing their families to washington and he's doing my kids were growing up, coached basketball and baseball there's always a congressman from the democrat side and the republican side, sitting the bleachers, cheering for their kids come they do not do that anymore, it either families they do not do anything, to actually get to know each other so what is the positive message back if you were running when right now what is that message had a simple. >> the positive messages be for the things you for and begin rebuild trust in our institutions, and look, populism is always based on being gets been a big upper limits and religion, big media and business back in the early days some abuse always want to be, against more the banks that the other side and that was the beginning of negative campaigning but we used to be able to run the campaign and running campaigns against negati

the blue collar boom how old start right away, either newt gingrich told me if hay don't get it done,t year, okay? and destroy trump's presidency. and i don't know why they're quibbling over what i would call little -- you know what i mean. charles: so the c box part of this, i've heard for years that the cbo is ineffective -- >> ineffective and wrong. charles: right. always. and yet it feels like folks on both sides of the aisle kind of like that because if it's also easy to manipulate the cbo. >> well, i don't know that. charles: to prove a point. in terms of their estimates, hey, whatever you feed into the- >> here is what the cbo does. the cbo bias withs all of their estimates toward higher taxes and more spending. if that's the basis of the cbo so of called current services baseline. it's utter nonsense. if -- plus, they are wrong. go back, i don't care, you can go back 40 years, they are wrong. they don't understand the supply-side effects of lower marginal tax rates. not only does it produce high higher which puts off revenues, less tax avoidance which gives you more revenues,
