tip o'neill and newt gingrich. [video clip] >> the reason we are trying to focus on the speaker is because it is the speaker, with the full majesty and weight of his position who yesterday made certain allegations which at this point he has not yet answered. [indiscernible] >> you have an audience. you don't normally have that in the 26 hours you have presented this case to the public. the whole tenor of your remarks going back to 1970, and 1972, taken out of context -- you were there for one purpose alone, in my opinion, and that was to imply that members of this side were un-american in their activities. you stopped and waited. you knew there was nobody here. >> camscam. put those two men from your perspective -- give us your perspective on the two. >> speaker o'neill was a giant. he knew the politics of the house. he kept much of it to himself in terms of other members. he received a great amount of intelligence all day long, from members, what was going on in different places. he always believed politics was th

i'm stephanie cutter on the left. >> i'm newt gingrich on the right. in the "crossfire" tonight, guests with different views on the bowe bergdahl trade. i want to defend the obama administration. from any suspicion that they negotiated with terrorists. this deal is a total surrender to the terrorists. there was no negotiation. just watch this video. taliban terrorists shot it and uploaded it to the internet for the whole world to see today. it shows american special forces coming to shake the terrorists' hands in the terrorists' territory finishing a deal on the terrorists' terms. now watch this. it is a very different video of a very different greeting. here are the five taliban leaders receiving a heroes welcome in qatar after the u.s. freed them in exchange for bergdahl. no wonder the taliban are celebrating. these videos clearly show they believe they won. it isn't fair to say the obama administration negotiated. they clearly surrendered. >> newt, you're certainly not new to the idea of propaganda, and that was propaganda. what you just showed ther

on the right, newt gingrich. in the "crossfire." a clinton confidant and david bossy, a long-time critic. will clinton's dead broke gaffe turn off potential voters? tonight on "crossfire." >> welcome to "crossfire." i'm newt gingrich on the right. >> and i'm stephanie koetter on the left. in the "crossfire" tonight, two opposite views of hillary clinton. as we are seeing this week, clinton bashing is a whole cottage industry. think of all the republicans unemployed if they weren't attacking hillary clinton. think of the taxpayer dollars wasted on investigations of them, bogus claims of stock deals, land deals, or whatever they were investigating at the time, yet the clinton haters never learn, the more they attack, the more the clintons fight back. >> actually, it's more of a reason to run, because i do not believe our great country should be playing minor league ball. we ought to be in the majors, and i view this as really apart from even an aversion from the hard work that the congress should be doing about the problems facing our

on the right, newt gingrich. will chaos in iraq lead america back to war? tonight on "crossfire." >> welcome to "crossfire." i'm stephanie cutter on the left. >> i'm newt gingrich on the right. >> isis maintains full control over the second largest city of mosul. we saw refugees continuing to flee. isis also trying to gain more control over the oil rich city there and they're being pushed back. and also saddam hussein's home do hometown. with the support of other former insurgent groups and this is very much a sunni versus shiite dynamic brought about because of the prime minister. this is certainly the most challenging situation that iraq has ever found itself in in recent history. >> thank you, in the crossfire tonight, guests with different views of the crisis in iraq. disbanning the iraqi army set the sunnis against the shiites, caution cannot become disengagement. as we just heard, isis fighters are capturing more and more iraqi cities. we have no choice at this point. the united states must quickly begin air strikes. the alternative is to accept that

i suspected newt gingrich new he was filtering the fact. the supremeracy clause says the units laws are supreme and no judge can rule and give privile privile privilege to a foreign law. so shareal law can't happen unless we elect it. which is why he said stealth jihadist use tools and completed the sentence. but what is a stealth jihadist? we don't know. they are stealth. my wife sent my and my two sons a column on obama's over restraint in not wanting to put boots on the ground in various confli conflicts. it was great. but maybe he is a stealth jihadi. we don't know. think of the concerns shared by varying degrees by people of the nsa. what are they up to? we are filling in the blanks and our fears and needs are par advertise patting in the way we fill it in. not all panic emanate from voices or political leaders fanning the roots of people. i want to talk about a panic that existed for a long time in this country about chinese. you can almost date it from the discovery of gold in california to december 7th 1941 when chinese and japanese

they were exploited i would say by newt gingrich. on a personal note, i spent nearly 33 years working with these fine congressmen, serving the congressional budget office, and i have concluded that it is a lot easier to be partisan than it is to be bipartisan. nothing at all wrong with fighting for what you believe in, taking partisan positions when you have to. in the end, sometimes, for the greater good, compromise and bipartisanship is necessary to resolve not only budget issues but policy issues that confront this country today. [applause] >> bill has touched on the key to making things work in this country, is that our political leaders who come with a partisan and philosophical perspective sit down and come together on an agreement that doesn't satisfy 100% either side. i think through this whole process, there were a lot of actors with different perspectives on how to get that done. one of the individuals that made a huge difference was the leading republican on the house budget committee, someone who understood the details of

on the right we have newt gingrich and s. e. cupp. tonight, a little reality to the right wing frenzy over finances. >> it is factually true that we were several million dollars in debt. everybody assumes that what happened in the intervening years was automatic. i'm shocked that it happened. i'm shocked people still want me to come give talks. so i'm grateful. >> when you say you pay ordinary taxes, secretary clinton, other people who are really well off who pay taxes maybe just off capital gains, can you understand that would strike people as being out of touch? >> yeah, but she's not out of touch. and she advocated and worked as a senator for things that were good for ordinary people. >> he's correct. and despite what you might be hearing from the right, most americans agree with the former president. 59% respond they thought she would do a good job. you don't get numbers like that by being out of touch. so i have advice for both side of the debate. republicans, there is not going to work out the way you think it is. at the same ti

from the left i'm van jones. >> from the right, i'm newt gingrich.n us again next time for another addition of "crossfire." "erin burnett outfront" starts right now. >>> next, breaking news in the case of sergeant bowe bergdahl. a white house official just now giving cnn new details about the operation that freed him. >>> plus an "outfront" investigation on bergdahl's platoon. reports of disorganization, lax security. we have the investigation. >>> and we're now getting new excerpts of hillary clinton's much anticipated memoir. she is distancing herself from the president big-time, and we're going to tell you why. let's go "outfront." >> good ev

on the right we have both newt gingrich and s.e. cupp. so a big mohooray for us and a bigger one for rand paul. this guy is talking common sense, especially about iraq. listen to this. >> am i willing to send my son to retake back a city, mosul that, they weren't willing to defend themselves? i'm not willing to send my son into that mess. >> well, hallelujah. rand paul says he wouldn't send his kids to die in iraq. i've got two boys, neither would i-probably neither would you. rand paul is blaming also dick cheney for this whole mess. so do i. and back here at home, rand paul says he wants to build a stronger american democracy right here by, among other things, restoring voting rights for some former prisoners. now, i love this. you stop trying to fix every other country and get more americans a real stake in this country. i am loving this guy. so to you, newt, what is wrong with what he's saying? >> first of all, i'm just sitting here thinking about the van jones commercial in iowa endorsing rand paul and the republican caucus. tonight

the reason that went down in the first instance, when it came from andrews because newt gingrich rounded up republican votes to kill it. ordinarily, he would not have had enough votes to do that. george miller and i were the ones that raised the most objections about the pack thaj camepackagethat came out of andrews. i'm going to do a ross perot by using a chart. the top chart separates the population by income. it shows what the irrelative impact on different income brackets of that package. we felt that because it relied too heavily on increasing the burden for those at the bottom, we were uncomfortable with it and voted no. the deal that finally passed looked like this on the bottom. as you can see, the larger burden had been shifted to higher income groups. that made the difference as far as we were concerned. so we wound up as bill said, having a product, which was more pal aable for democrats. the president told him he was going to get a worse deal than he would get if he voted for the first package and that proved to be correct. when we voted against the package, tom foley almost

again, i would agree with speaker newt gingrich to a degree. from mississippi in the runoff down there. and the conservative base as we get closer to november is getting more active and agitated. this will shock the house republicans first. and everybody with stakes in november will spend time scratching their heads and studying it. >> john, have you been able to kind of bear down and look at turnout results and where areas turned out, which is always your specialty on these kind of nights? have you been able to do that to get a sense of where cantor's supporters, whether they did turn out and why they stayed hom home? >> i have not been able to do that with the level of detail that i'll be able the do by tomorrow night just because of how the results came in. and the technology available to me tonight. but at first glance i'm getting from folks as i reach out to republicans asking them what happened is that you have more of what i'll call the more suburban traditional establishment republican voter not turning out. and more of the -- the non-c

in 2012, you had newt gingrich, who is probably the most pro-immigration reform candidate out there,ou know, he won south carolina. again, a very conservative state. but if you're going to sell it, you got to go all-in selling it. you can't bounce back and forth, you can't say you're trying to push for an immigration deal in washington, d.c. and then go home and run cheesy ads saying that your opponent is for amnesty. i mean, it's an absolute joke. you got to stay connected with the people, stay connected with the people, they will cut you slack. you will win elections. it's that simple. >> joe scarborough, watch you every morning. thank you. michael steele. >>> up next, hillary clinton's book rollout this week is the start of big things for the clintons, so how's that tryout going? my colleague cynthia mcfadden interviewed hillary and that's coming up next. this is "hardball," the place for politics. >>> some rare cooperation on capitol hill late today. the united states senate voted overwhelmingly to pass a bipartisan bill to reform the department of veterans affairs with over 90 v

of the conservative movement through the works of people who shaped it, people like al regnery, newt gingrich and ralph reid. this is about 45 minutes. >> as we begin, i do want to point out one aspect. our host finish our best guest today is also a part-time fox news commentator. millions of americans, of course, know bill o'reilly as the factor. mallory, in this case, has been a factor long before the factor was cool. [laughter] he is the john c. west professor of international politics and american government at the citadel, he is the host and cofounder of the new york meeting, a nationally-recognized gathering of elected officials, journalists, business leaders and conservative authors in new york city, and he also founded the similar charleston meeting which meets in south carolina. he previously authored "the new york times" best seller which he's too modest to advertise. shadow bosses, government unions, control america and rob the taxpayers blind. he is a member of the council on foreign relations and served as vice chairman of the council on foreign relations task force on terrorism

a lot of people think may be a starter with the tea party movement in 2009, 2010, or maybe newt gingrich revolution of 94, certainly by 1980 when reagan was nominated and elected. it started literally 102 years ago when teddy roosevelt failed to get the republican nomination for president, went across the street in essence, started the party and split the republican vote allowing woodrow wilson, a very progressive democrat, become president with less than 42% of the vote. we have been fighting that wing of the party ever since. sometimes our opponents look like teddy roosevelt, sometimes tom dooley or nixon or ford or bob dole or john mccain or mitt romney. but today it's john boehner, eric cantor, lamar alexander. we are fighting that wing of the party. as i said earlier the voters rejected them and only when the face of the opposition to the democrats is a limited government constitutional conservatives do we score big victories. this very weekend as a matter of fact, republican leaders, eric cantor, kevin mccarthy, our meeting at the ritz-carlton in florida, meeting with the main stre

we saw was newt gingrich who made a conscious decision that they would always be in the minority. they worked with the majority. they started attacking the leader. >> and his own party. >> and his own party. the only avenue to the majority is through confrontation. this was an argument about the . to ask rhetorical questions and make these charges. he knew at that time the camera was very tight on the speaker at the time will stop the role can that it changes the whole dynamics. that now manycess years later has torn this institution apart. it is really paralyzed institution. george miller tonight on c-span's q&a. tuesday, simon and schuster was releasing hillary clinton's latest book "hard choices." thetv was in new york at book publisher office to talk to some of the people involved in the production of the book. >> i have been totally involved through all of the books actually. publisher, butl i have been involved in the process. we tried to persuade her to publish a book and it came to take a village. help there trying to convince her to do so. i'm not the editor. it is not my

but look what newt gingrich did with it against mitt romney. >> i think the real parallel we might seee sort of framing of john kerry in 2004, who i think was worth something like $2 h00 million, but the wa they framed him is he was a culturally elitist and out of touch, right in and you even sought george h.w. bush try that same rhetoric with dukakis. he talked about liberals getting their ideas from the harvard faculty club. so that's what you'll see around hillary clinton. it won't be so much about where she's gotten her money, but you'll dig into those speeches, but i think it will mainly be about her being an out of touch liberal who just doesn't understand the concerns of regular americans. >> it seems to me, ezra, that as spring training goes for presidential campaigns, it just seems to me this is going to be easy for the clintons. they ea're going to figure out hang wage to deal with this. they're never going to like the numbers pause they've made way over $100 million. when bill clinton talks about tax rates, when you're paying 30% of $100 million, you're left with a lot of mo

. >> geoffrey, this is a quote from newt gingrich today.ease of five senior enemy commander is a defeat of the first order. the taliban got everything it asked for. the swap was a surrender not a negotiation." we know this was opposed by many officials, including hillary clinton. why is it so important to build trust with the taliban? is that misguided? >> well, first off, i think newt gingrich is entitled to his opinion. but he's not the commander in chief of the armed forces. the constitution vests the president with the responsibility of being what the founding fathers call the top general and, in war, commanders make very difficult, strategic and operational decisions and a decision to conduct a prisoner exchange is certainly one of those decisions. it's not historically unprecedented and you're never going to get everything you want. we don't know what the background intelligence was. we don't know the information that the chairman of the joint chiefs was receiving and feeding to the president through the national security council and.

let's talk about it with newt gingrich, former house speaker and presidential candidate.nd co-host of cnn's "cross fire." also political commentator anna navarro. and chief national correspondent john king. mr. speaker, we heard from eric cantor. he said he didn't ignore his district. he said it was balance between balancing his constituents and putting his district first. what do you make of that explanation? >> the guy is in shock. his pollster told him he was going to win by 34 points. he goes into election night totally confident. he outspent his opponent 25 to 1. his campaign spent as much money on steak houses as his opponent's entire campaign and he loses by a decisive margin. he did do the right thing stepping down, but you're looking at a person in a state of shock. you can't blame him. he would like to believe everything he said. clearly the people didn't think they had his attention and sent a signal they wanted somebody who would be more aggressive and fight more than they thought he was fighting. >> john king as you looked at the numbers, is there more clarit

what you saw was newt gingrich, who made a conscious decision that they would always be in the minority because they worked with the majority. so he started tacking bob michael -- he started attacking bob michael, the leader, john rhodes, and everybody on that side, and his own party, because he said the only avenue to the majority is through confrontation. and we're going to take them down, and this was an argument about the misuse of tv coming to askfore, where he would rhetorical questions and make these charges and a new that the chamber was empty. but at that time, the camera was very tight on the speaker at the time, wherever they were, and rule came to show that the chamber had people in it or it was empty and it changes the whole dynamics. that now,he process many years later, has torn this institution apart. it has really paralyzed the institution. miller,essman george sunday night at 8:00, on c-span's "q&a." >> in the weekly address, president obama talked about the importance of higher education and student loan refinancing. florida representative jeff miller has the republic

on the right, newt gingrich and s.e. cupp. what can president obama still accomplish in his second term? plus, the outrage of the day. tonight on "crossfire." >>> welcome to "crossfire." i'm s.e. cupp on the right and we're all here again. i'm joined by newt going rish ap on the left by stephanie kut r cutter and van jones. president obama keeps swatting away accusations but today the supreme court told the president that his actions are unconstitutional. today's ruling is just a beginning of wide ranging objection of the imperial presidency. speaker john boehner is preparing to sue the president for this sort of behavior from obamacare changes and locking congress out of important foreign policy decisions. today's message from the court was clear, the imperial presidency is no longer the law of the land. so do you think that this imperils the president's phone and pen plan? >> no, s.e., i don't. >> i had a feeling you would say that. >> shocking. what the supreme court said today is that presidents have to wait longer than th

newt gingrich when he was the number two republican in the house, he got a scare in a 1992 primary. he survived that. especially in the case of foley, the speaker, though, we saw that coming. you know, weeks, even months ahead of time. it was still shocking to see it happen, but we saw it coming. this is something that nobody, and i mean nobody, saw coming. there were rumblings that this race was closer than people would assume it was going to be. there were rumblings that cantor was getting a little nervous, maybe the margin would be embarrassing. nobody thought, right until the votes starting coming in, even as the votes were being tabulated and cantor was falling behind, everybody's assumption was a new area is going to come in, this must be a weak area. nobody saw this coming until about 50 minutes ago. this is the biggest shock i have ever seen. >> in terms of how this happened, steve, i know that congressman cantor's district is among the most conservative districts in virginia. he's never had a hard time running for re-election in his district before, seven-term congressman.

what you saw was newt gingrich, who made a cautious decision that they would always be in the minority they work with the majority. so he started attacking bob , johnl, the leader rhodes, editor betty on that side -- and everybody on that side. said, the only avenue to the majority is through confrontation and we will take them down. this is an argument about the misuse of tv, now coming to the floor he would ask these rhetorical questions and make these charges, and he knew the chamber was empty. but at that time, the camera was very tight on the speaker at the time, wherever they were. to show the came chamber. it changes the dynamics. but that was the process that now many years later has torn this institution apart and paralyze the institution. >> congressman george miller, sunday night at 8:00 on c-span's q&a. >> on a lonely, windswept point on the northern shore of france, the air is soft, but 40 years ago at this moment, the air was dense with smoke and the cries of men, and the air was filled with the crack of rifle fire and the roar of cannon. at dawn on the morning of the , 2

so beginning with newt gingrich and delay. that is a funny word, isn't it? delay. we came out with the idea that we would facilitate it by allowing one man, one entity to run the congress of the united states. so now we have seen a clear effort by both republicans and their democratic successors and now the republicans again to ultimately usurp the committee process. when i started there were only a handful of members on each committee and three to nine members on each subcommittee, three to nine. the interesting thing was one of the most complex and difficult questions would be dealt with in the committee. and members would come together and hear testimony and run everybody out of a room, removed their coats and one of my colleagues used to say fight like hell. for however long it took. the result was committees that knew and understood legislation. they can explain and defend it and have the trusts of their colleagues. today their committees with 100 members on them. if each member described, multiplied that out and see how much opportunity there is for real and

newt gingrich made a conscious decision that they would always be in the minority because they worked with the majority. he started adapting bob michael, the leader, and everybody on ,hat side in his own party jesse said the only avenue to the majority is through said theation -- he only avenue to the majority is through confrontation. that chamberact was empty, but the camera was very tight on the speaker at the time, wherever they were. it changes the whole dynamics. that was a process that many years later has torn this institution apart, and has really paralyzed the institution. >> congressman george miller, tonight at 8:00 on "q&a." >> a senate environment subcommittee held a hearing recently on the impact of climate change on wildlife and agriculture. witnesses included educators and representatives from the fishing, for history, and farming sector. the hearing is one hour. >> welcome. it's great to have you all. i would like to introduce our second panel of witnesses. i will introduce everyone now, and then we will proceed with the testimony. our first witness is from oregon. j

. >> and it's arguable that maybe the big money spent by sheldon hamilton, supporting newt gingrich hurt mitt romney, by allowing the primary to go longer than it should have. and weakening mitt romney against barack obama. whether it delivered a result, it had an effect. >> how different is it. you bring up history, bringing up a number of people, so there's always been big money behind candidates. >> i think the biggest change now it that you see the migration of the money and the power outside of the political party system. always in the past. the establishment of one party or the other had a semblance of control over how the money would get spent, which issues and can't dates would emerge with the support of the big money behind it. now a single donor, with a big enough check can throw it into chaos and help a candidate win, or hurt a candidate who does win a nomination, and we see it impacting governing as well. it's not just the elections. look no further than a shutdown in 2013, when john boehner was unable to bring his party and conference along because of all the trappings. >> y

when newt gingrich had problems they threw out john boehner, j.c. watts, made a run at dick armey, i'm not sure there isn't going to be an attitude that will throw out the entire bunch and see an insurgent, jim jordan, of ohio, mulvaney, sort of bubble up from this faction within the house conference and say we need a true conservative now. which sort of makes me smile. eric cantor is a very conservative gift. i didn't think there was any room to his right. they apparently found some. >> you know him. served with him. don't think there is room to his right. 96% lifetime rating from the conservative union, pretty solid. jonathan, a night of politics. and fundamental change for the republican party. is it good, in your view for the electoral prospects of this party going into the mid terms to have this big fight now, nationally? i don't think it makes that much difference. this one particular district i do think the ongoing fight, tea party and establishment wings of the republican party is something that is difficult. makes it hard for them, for the
