joining me now is newt gingrich, cnn contributor and former speaker of the house. anks for coming on, newt. >> glad to be with you. >> i want to get your reaction to what rush limbaugh said on his show today. here it is. >> one week before the election once again new jersey governor chris christie has caved and is seen as -- we need to quarantine chris christie is what needs to happen here, folks. >> you're laughing. why? >> well, first of all, remember that about 80% of rush's background is an entertainer. and it's a pretty funny line. i think it's a little bit of a nonsense line. i thought from what i read of the new jersey quarantine it was a little bit rough. a tent and a toilet but no shower? you could ask people, for example, to self-quasrantine by staying home. you could pay their salary for 21 days. they could work from home with ipads and laptops and what have you. i think the new jersey version may have been a little bit extreme. >> let's move on because army major general darryl williams and approximately ten other personnel now in controlled monitoring i

the example i give is newt gingrich and barack obama. it's not a political point but a generational point. newt gingrich was caught up in the approach of the 70's when it came to married life, and barack obama has been an exemplary model of marriage and more committed husband, and i'm confident his marriage will go the distance. but we've seen this decline in divorce among college-educated americans. it's not only be more selective but more realistic about what image can deliver. the challenge is can we take that basic mindset and some of those basic skills and orientations, and extend them to working class and poor couples to increase their odds of lasting marriage as well. if we don't do that we're going to see more economic inequality, and more low income kids, particularly boys, falling behind in school and later in life and this dystopian future for americans, and that's not something that any american would like to see our country to move towards. >> the news business has a problem with stories involving a lot of statistics. we lik

but also by conservatives including newt gingrich.ome law enforcement groups are saying it would give a free ride to criminals by shifting away from incarceration toward community based treatment and prevention measures. joining me for a closer look, criminology at berkeley law school and the write for san francisco chronicle. welcome to both of you. why do proponents of prop 47 say we need it? why is it necessary? >> i would say the proponents have been observing for the last 20 years in california that the public is overwhelmingly supportive of fewer nonviolent offenders in prison and if it was spending too much on prisons and they liked to see a very different approach to drugs. >> and this sentence is really aimed at drug offenses primarily? >> that's the biggest category. the delima sooechb though the public is overwhelmingly supporting these policies, these policies get nowhere in the legislature. that's either gridlocked or dominated by traditional interest groups. >> you look at the endorsements. you have the traditional law a

clinton relished the smoosh and the back room and building those relationships and newt gingrich led revolution. i am not sure that barak obama. we know he doesn't like to smooze. and i don't think boehner is gingrich. it will be tougher to get it done i think. >> you hear many of the things i hear in washington, that democrats said the president doesn't smooze and hang out with them. and when there is sausage making and they can't get meetings with them. does he turn to executive orders, i mean there are lawsuits and a lot of friction over that already. especially on the top of immigration, he promised to do something. >> certainly much to the chagrin of republicans and those opposing the president he will use executive orders and take action when he can and he may well have to, given, again his personality. reagan and clinton both had similar problems with congress and the other party's hands. but at different times in the presidencies. but they did the smoozing and they liked to be in the back room. this president doesn't. and the other problem he has, is that boehner is not someo

lieutenant colonel and we had a representative from congress come to speak to us by the name of newt gingrich. newt said to us someday some of you will rise to higher ranks. he will be generals and your political masters are going to tell you go to this. attacked us and intervene here. he said it's critical for you to ask this question and then what? about iraq. we went and end the mission was to take out saddam. we did in three weeks. we stayed there for 10 years. okay mr. president saddam is gone and then what? the same thing in afghanistan. get al qaeda. we didn't pay attention to the mission and now i'll qaeda is gone and we are standing there in the middle of afghanistan. and then what? we are still there. if you don't see this clearly through, if the political objectives are not clear, given to mission creep, the military doesn't understand what they're supposed to do. they get bogged down in missions like nation-building that may be unintended in some way. there's another part of this now that it's become more critically important as we have gone on. it's what i call in the book the ba

i use as the template the working relationship that bill clinton had with newt gingrich. guest: i'm not as optimistic that the working relationship would be on par with what we saw between president benson and republicans at the time. back then in the 1990's, we had many more members from these crossover districts. we had republicans representing democrats, democrats representing more republican leaning seats. they worked with the other side and with the white house. president clinton did have those relationships that i think president obama lacks on a more personal level right now. to the extent that we are going to see much legislation getting ine in the last two years, think it is primarily going to be republican legislation that obama is forced to accept. the other aspect is that we are moving towards a presidential race in 2016 that is likely to overshadow a lot of what is going on in congress. host: let me ask you about west virginia. it was a state that for a while was a pretty reliable democratic state. the longest-serving member of the senate, a long-term -- long

clinton era did okay in the area of newt gingrich and his anti-impeachment crusade. but, in general, whoever is in the white house, president's party loses seats in the midterm elections. nobody knows if that's going to be the case. but that was definitely the case in president obama's first midterms in 2010. here's the thing. the reason that was such a huge deal, they used that momentum in the house and senate and swept across the country. they picked 20 state legislative chambers from blue to red. in six states, they flipped both chambers in the state legislature from blue to red. they picked up more seats in that election than any party had since is 1920s. that being the moegs important thing about the first interims of the obama era. in washington, yes, they took the house. and that is what the beltway took the most. but honestly, that pales in come parson to the importance of what happens in the states. they decided to use that power on not just economic issues or power, they decided to use that power in the state states to tilt the playing field for all of the
