and it set the stage for an infamous day, the day that made newt gingrich. 10:00 a.m., may 15, 1984, e, the chamber was full. gingrich got the fight with tip o'neill he had been dreaming of for years. >> you deliberately stood on the well before an emptied house and challenged the people and challenged their americanism and it is the lowest thing i have ever seen in my 32 years in congress. >> i move we take the speaker's words down. >> as a matter of fact i was expressing my opinion, very mildly, because i think much worse than i said all. >> it is my patriotism being impugned. what we are seeing comes class to a mccarthyism of the left. >> it really is impossible to overstate what this did for gingrich's place in his party. the gop's leadership spent six years ignoring him. treating him like a gadfly. he baited tip o'neill, into a fight that made national news. a fight in which o'neal became the first house speaker in near lou 200 years to have his word taken down. this was newt's game, exploiting television to appeal directly to the grassroots, to convince conservatives across amer

in the efforts, newt gingrich, your name gets thrown out all the time by people. you said look, the last shutdown they got it sorted because in the end, and you told me this, bill clinton told me this, you got in the room and just did the deal. what is going on here? i've had a tweet already from something saying just a bunch of egomaniacs, that is all they are. democrat, republican, get rid of them all. that is what americans are starting to think. >> sure, you can hardly blame them. the fact is, when the president who is presumably the leader of the american government, and now the opening line is "i will not negotiate." now, bill clinton never said anything like that. he would say i'm really mad at you and don't think you should do this, but let's talk about it. >> he should negotiate, because at the moment, the ted cruz element the -- element of the republicans say we will only negotiate if it is cutting the obama care -- >> well, that is the beginning of conversation. he is saying i will never negotiate, they're saying give us everything. that is how you star

and by the way, sometimes newt gingrich didn't either in the previous version of this. i know that mr. gingrich sort of waxes sentimentally about bill clinton, the fact is, they were also at each other's throats, and one of the most famous incidents of that shutdown period, was gingrich publicly complaining about a seat on an airplane, where he thought he was being dissed by bill clinton, sort of. so there is a lot of re-writing of history. so i think president obama really does have his party behind him. even in senators in red states up for re-election, the democratic senators, who the republicans thought they could peel away in this escapade are remaining loyal to the president, whereas boehner is dealing with kindergarten and kindergarten cops and every version of that kind of chaos. >> we're getting a few boos from the audience, a few republicans have crept in here, not happy with that. >> well, too bad. >> let's go to the audience's question, you have a question for frank. va a nessa? you have a question for frank? >> so frank, you successfully predicted the govern

joining me, newt gingrich, the co-host of the brilliant new show.nd during the last shutdown, i feel like i'm bringing ali and frazier back. >> i'm ali. >> of course you are, dick. let's talk about the shutdown, newt gingrich said earlier it was not a crisis, but surely most american people would imagine that any shutdown of the government constitutes a crisis, right? >> no, i'm opposed to the shutdown, i think it is stupid. i think the republicans should fight over the debt limit where they can win. but the shutdown, there will be no sonic boom going off at midnight. a percentage are entitlement, they are not affected. they get paid anyway. this is only about a third of the budget, it means, for example, you can use your passport to travel, you can't get a new one, you will get your social security checks, you can't newly apply, you can't get a new gun permit, the national partial parks will be closed. we felt disappointed frankly, at the lack of the shutdown. have you any idea as a great american, a historian, what that means if the statue of libe

one other thing newt you say we go back to the gingrich revolution in retrospect was it a success well in the sense that we created a houseman public a majority of the lasted for twelve years for the first time really since and over seventy years we balanced the budget we reformed welfare we had the first tax cut in seventeen years and the economy grew dramatically and we reduce regulations i think in that sense it was it was a success i mean it didn't fundamentally change the direction of history but remember when i left here in the middle of four consecutive years of a balanced budget and we were actually projecting the paying off of the federal debt it was a remarkable moment i think bill clinton certainly deserves half the credit but i think the house republicans deserve the other half and one other thing in the overall picture of things here an optimist or a pessimist on the total optimist i don't see how you can be an american believe in american history look at the american people and not be an optimist i think it just is it's a part of who we are. newt as always thank you very

newt gingrich, a few days into the 1995 government shutdown, told reporters the story of that snub on the plane as his way of explaining why he had to play such hardball with president clinton on that year's budget. quote, i think that's part of why you ended up with us sending down a tougher budget resolution, mr. gingrich said. this is petty, and i'm going to say up-front it's petty, but i think it's human. look at this from the baltimore sun. "gingrich links stalemate to perceived clinton snub," as he has done repeatedly since returning home from the rabin funeral, mr. gingrich railed against mr. clinton's treatment of him. at a breakfast, he said he was insulted and appalled that mr. clinton had refused to invite republican leaders to the front of the plane. mr. gingrich said, where is their sense of manners, where is their sense of courtesy? and thus was born one of the most famous newspaper front pages of all time. this was the cover of the "new york daily news," three days into the 1995 government shutdown.

this man is the biggest flirt of all, newt gingrich.s newt gingrich who 20 years ago spearheaded the right-wing's virulent crusade against the norms of democratic government. as speaker of the house he twice brought about shutdowns of the federal government once, believe it or not, because he felt snubbed after riding on air force one with president clinton and had to leave by the back door. it was also newt gingrich, speaker gingrich, who was caught lying to congressional investigators looking into charges of his ethical wrongdoing. his colleagues voted overwhelmingly, 395-28, to reprimand him. pressure from his own party then prompted him to resign. yet even after his flame-out, even after his recent bizarre race for the presidency bankrolled with money from admiring oligarchs, even after new allegations about his secret fundraising for right-wing candidates, gingrich remains the darling of a fawning amnesic media. >> i'm newt gingrich on the right. >> on cnn.com the other day he issued a call to arms to his fellow bomb-throwers, "don
