gingrich, newt, i know you know that your name sake is also toxic. there is no doubt that you operate in the what you call the real world. let me point out a couple of examples. it was noted that you orchestrated this presentation that will be presented to congress and i want you to identify also, when the process happened, when isil became isis and what that acronym means? you are noted as being a participant in paris at the time when that transformation took place. there are zionists who are radical, and israel state, and an islamic state may be possibly very attractive to them. guest: i am not quite sure what you mean. i use isis because that is what they call themselves. there are various complex reasons why the state department uses isil. i think it's irrelevant. my argument -- i do two news al -- newsletters, and the last newsletter said i would vote no on the president's request for an authorization for force because isis or isil, whichever you like better, is not the problem. there are 20,000 foreign fighters who have now gone to syria and ir

the power newt gingrich had at that moment was amazing. right after we were going to go into the present not going along with it, they called and asked to go back and have a final meeting. some of us were pretty worried about putting the president in that position, that he was going to be leading up to that spot. the president gets there, and the meeting starts off. the key part was, what actually triggers the moment was medicaid. deck army makes a comment about the president demagogue in on medicaid, and he's got a mother in a nursing home. the present turns around and says, i don't care what happens. i don't care if it comes down around me. i don't care if i go to 5%. you are going to have to put someone else in this chair. i'm never going to go along with your medicaid cuts, and that's the end. i always felt in my heart, that was his mom. in arkansas, the poverty, the health care -- the one thing he wasn't going to do in his heart even though medicare was the great politics, was the medicaid cuts, and that led to what was a brave and gr

newt gingrich guest: great to be here.t: the headline yesterday, mitch mcconnell may have locked himself in when he said he did not want to see another government shutdown and yet, your successor, john boehner is saying the house has done its job. the senate needs to do its job. what's going to happen? guest: i think the only effective strategy is too divide the bill into two parts. take everything which relates to security border control, tsa that sort of thing send it to the president, bring it up by itself, no limits, and challenge the democrats to stop securing america. take the second part, which is all of the administrative components of home land security and attach them to the prohibition on what the president has done on immigration and say, look. if you are prepared to not have the had miles per hour strative part funded for the rest of the year and you want to try to return the government that way that's your prerogative. you get down to the fact if you have the president who wants to do one thing and the newly

newt gingrich -- sheldon adelson putting in more than $15 million to keep newt gingrich going and you foster freeze put in $2 million just to keep rick santorum going. both of those candidates gave mitt romney fits because they had individual backers. while jeb bush is making major headway on the finance circuit right now, it mainly take one to give him serious problems going through the next year. >> a lot of donors on both sides will be making their way to the national conventions. for democrats, that might mean philadelphia. why is philadelphia the choice? >> it was philadelphia over brooklyn. it was primarily logistics. the difficulty on the security side of things in brooklyn but also in columbus -- philadelphia offered a better venue, but you always have to look at politics. pennsylvania is an important state and democrats like the idea of the organization they will be bringing to the state early in 2016. >> phil mattingly, thank you. coming up health risks facing americans. i will speak to the director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases about the chall

you mentioned newt gingrich. here is today's a schedule at the conservative political action committee being held 10 miles south of washington at the national harbor. newt gingrich is the first speaker. he speaks at 8:00 a.m. jeb bush will speak at 1:20 p.m. this afternoon. that is all live on c-span3 today. live on c-span am of the house of representatives -- what is the house and senate up to today? caller: they are on separate tracks, which will he was. you will see the senate passed a homeland security funding bill that would fund the department through september. that would be silent on the provision of blocking the president executive action. they will pass a clean funding bill through the rest of the fiscal year. the house republicans want to go and pass a three-week continuing resolution to keep the department funded at the current levels and then fight this again in three weeks. i'm not sure what will be different in three weeks. they are not ready to accept the senate's proposal. you will see these two

. >> then he's got a go to south carolina where he lost to newt gingrich. >> i don't quite get that timingjames is smart. i think he put his finger on something. as bullish as i am on jeb bush's chances, i could see a scenario where he collapses on the launchpad and turns out not to be able to do this. >> i don't disagree with you. he could win. i don't think he could win iowa. if you loses badly and iowa, doesn't win new hampshire, south carolina, you are headed into big states. that is when the establishment will start to look for, hey, we've got to get somebody else in this thing. >> if jeb bush wins, you've got to get me one of those rolls. >> if jeb bush wins the iowa caucuses, i will take you a plane. >> all right. scott walker is pulling pretty well, on top of the political world, on his way to win iowa and new hampshire, and sweep the nomination, when bam, the badger favorite might be enjoying a stint in david plouffe's proverbial barrel. is scott walker right now in control of his public image, or not? >> he is not currently in control of his image. we talked about it yesterday. i

he would call newt gingrich at night. who's that guy for president obama?emocrat a republican? i don't sense any rapport with any particular politician or legislator now. >> no, i don't think -- senator coburn, which is quite conservative is a friend of his and he talks with him from time to time. >> jon: nobody else? no. look, he talks to pelosi, he talks to other members, van holland and so on. >> jon: it feels like they don't necessarily get along if there's an issue. >> it's fair to say that there's frustration about what motivates some of the folks on the hill. senator schumer said, well healthcare was a great thing but he shouldn't have done it because the politics were bad. the president opportunity think that -- the president doesn't think that way. >> jon: you said that. right, and he overroad me. i always said he -- i always say i like him so much because he listened to me so little. >> jon: do you think he feels so liberated by the democrats loss of congress that it looks like a guy your senior year the last three months, you know you've already

i come before you because i had a show on tv with a guy named newt gingrich. a show called cross fire. we fought every day and didn't agree on one thing except this issue. talking with newt gingrich i realized i made a terrible mistake in my judgment and my assessment of where libertarians were on this issue, where conservatives were on this issue. and when you make assumptions about where people are coming from you miss the opportunity to do good stuff for the country. it turns out that our liberal side -- people on the right were only concerned about being tough on crime and not being smart on crime and that there was not a sense that the christian values, religious values and every soul matters could be a part of this conversation, that we shouldn't be wasting money. conservatives shouldn't be for that. so i say that to say that we have gotten into an insane posture but there is wisdom available. where is the wisdom coming from? three places. number one, the juvenile justice system quietly thanks to the casey foundation has achieved a 50% reduction in the n

everyone from scott walker to bobby jindal sarah palin and ted cruz later today we will see newt gingrichump, it runs the gammot here. i'm interesting in seeing scott walker. he looks good the on polls and i would like to see how he appeals to the base and the reception he gets and i'm interests in dr. ben carson. he is the wild card. looking good in the polls and trailing scott walker in one that i saw earlier this week and he is definitely important here. he is the only sort of black man running for office or can considering to run for office rather in this race. so, i think i'm particularly interested in him. i will head over after this and go watch him speak early this morning and we are running a to story on him later if you want to hear more about him. >> we will be watching for that. in the meantime, president obama participated in a town hall last night and had a message for former florida governor jeb bush saying "i appreciate mr. bush being concerned about i am grigz immigration reform what i appreciate him doing is speak to the members of his party and the member of the house.

then, house speaker newt gingrich discusses threats posed by isis. at 8:00, a conversation with, allen harris on q&a. >> guest: let me ask you about your own thinking about a potential bid for the white house. you're looking at it. you will be in des moines, iowa later this spring. host: when i left the senate i took a year where i did no media, no op eds. i used to write a lot of op eds. just to regain my political independence and think about things. and when i came out with my book last may, there was a very strong response when i went into -- on two onto different media shows and started talking about issues. over a period of several months we decided that we would put together an exploratory committee to be honest with you to see whether even possible in today's age of campaign finance which is so different than it was even when i ran for senate. to put together a viable presidential campaign that can be competitive on the one hand and still not have to concede on a lot of major issues to the financial interests that are so active right now. her

rick perry for getting the third government agency he wanted to abolish, to newt gingrich trying to colonize the moon. the republican takes will be very hot indeed. here is a quick preview from mike huckabee speaking this morning about which religious groups get more support from president obama. >> everybody he does is against what christians stand for, and they're against the jews. the people who know they will get his support is the muslim community. i assure you that a beheading is worse than a sunburn. >> wait until he hits the campaign train. imagine what he will do to jeb bush in the debate season. it will not be boring. >>> this morning for the first time ever in the state of alabama, same-sex couples got married legally. two women were the first in montgomery county. jefferson county judge allen king made it clear yesterday he is prepared to go forward. >> we usually have one window hope, we will have two. we'll be ready with the forms and multiple windows open and it will be like, we'll just -- whatever happens in jefferson county, we will be ready. >> in birmingham, a judge asked

million after million went to newt gingrich. he was no longer viable. sheldon adelson. >> is it a checklist of issues for cherif kouachi -- issues michael sure here are the issues. >> you have to be god at what you do. scott walker headed jed bush in a poll. he's a good politician. his acuty, his knowledge of politics will acontract dollars. that is what happens here. at that point the issues that the people are advocating appeal to them. it's a 2-way street. >> how dramatically did citizens united change the political landscape? >> dramatically. before citizens united core aspect of electoral advocacy were off limits to corporations unions. and after citizens united they can spend unlimited money. so it was significant. >> we mentioned the democratic republican parties, requiring law to disclose their donors not so for outside groups. the money coming from anonymous sources. does it not breed mistrust if not corruption? >> definitely undermines the public safety when a handful of millionaires and billionaires are fighting it out. and ordinary voters ar

he is a long island republican. 20 years ago he fought against newt gingrich and made his name. so the question is, we know peter king will be there but where are the mo brooks, the conservatives from kansas when it comes to this question. this is about the 20th time we have seen this since 2011. he needs to get to a point with this. almost certainly this will end in the next few hours with full funding for the department of homeland security. when can he push for that and not risk an insurrection on the republican side. when can he tell them and have them believe i went as far as i could on this. >> the thing they're trying to stop has been stopped. i understand that it could restart, a lot of things could change in life and politics, but this is a phantom fight at this point and one that may go to the require. thank you for your analysis. we appreciate it. >>> what else is happening on washington today? we're going to check in on cpac. >>> today was also the first day of a conservative political annual conference. it has become a key test for the party's presidential candidate

. >> so when we go back to the model of newt gingrich of working, being accountable, right now there's a record number of people on food stamps and it's getting bigger, they actually say you can own a car you can own a house. they make it look glamorous taking away the social stigma. but it is a cultural issue as well. but a lot of this goes back to this. we print money out of nowhere and government, because they can have access to all of this printed cash and the federal reserve system can keep growing government bigger and bigger. but the bubble has to burst. neil: it's all on that. and i'm telling you, that this is built on what you're seeing. >> we are seeing corporations, then they go out and do corporate buybacks, they don't create jobs, small companies can't get those loans. neil: republicans could expand their audience. >> yes, they have a model that would benefit middle income families. >> are you going to run for governor of new jersey? >> i am not intending to. i'm going to take a group of leading conservatives tomorrow afternoon to meet with janet yellen. she's going to mee

millions went to sheldon adelson, the voters said we don't want newt gingrich and then sheldon adelson gave money to mitt romney. >> is it here is how we feel this is how you should feel? >> well, you have to to be good at what you do. scott walker, for example just ahead today in a poll thomas, scott walker is a good politician, whatever you think of him he's good at politics. his acuity, his knowledge of politics is going to attract dollars. that's what happens here. at that point the issues that these people are advocating will appeal to the money too so it's a two way street. >> mr. weiner how dramatically did citizens united change political landscape? >> pretty dramatically. before citizens united sort of core aspects of electoral advocacy were off limits to corporations and unions. and after citizens united they can spend unlimited money on those activities. so it was significant. >> we mentioned the democratic republican parties that are required by law to disclose their donors, not so for outside groups. most of the money comes from anonymous sources. but doesn't this breed mi

what you said about newt gingrich is very important. wealth then was about $2 billion. they were wealthy people buying stuff that wealthy people buy. it's more than the immediate income of many americans or many floridians, this total gross amount, but nevertheless it's not that much of a shock that rich people buy things like jewels. it is a little difficult for jeb bush to be out there talking about poverty, the 1% income disparities, when you have some of these big spending reports that break in the news media. >> to that end, jeb bush has been trying to talk more about poverty, about income inequality, he's been talking about his own trials and tribulations. pampers cost $1 a diaper. i didn't make enough money at the time to provide for that when he was working in inventory zwal -- venezuela. barbara bush was very understated. she made sure everybody knew that her pearls were fake not real. they do have a sensibility of how to connect with everyday people. is that going to be able to translate when they say i spent $10,000 on a role

newt gingrich made a strong point that got a strong reception saying they have been at war with us since979 and the iranian hostage crisis. we had not been at war with them and they are winning that war. there is a sense that we need somebody that will win this war and treat it as a war. >> it's kimberly. america is crying out for leadership. i think that is very clear in this moment in time in history is one that hopefully will be defined in a strong way with america taking the forefront in terms of being a world power and a leader that helps other countries in need as well. what did you get the sense in terms of the crowd about any standouts thus far that they feel are embodying those qualities? >> i don't want to -- we will have a straw poll by the end of the weekend. it has always had a big impact. i know rand paul was the last two years. there is a big rand paul contingent here and has been for his dad. i got a big reception. i went down the list of names of all of the candidates. he got a big reception. scott walker, ted cruz. when i interviewed jeb bush today when i spoke at 11:00

[cheers and applause ] >> well, a moon base could be a reality, far more than beginning rich being president. they requested turf on the moon. the company wants to develop inflatable habitats suitable for your needs. in a response the f achl a says they want to ensure commercial activities can be conducted on a noninterference basis. they are open to getting the ball rolling but activities on the moon are still regulated by the outer space treaty of 1967. space projects could get cheaper, though. the u.s. military is developing a plan to launch small grade rockets from f-15 fighter jets. the loss of program could slash millions from launching costs. and finally, space projects could get smaller. the european space agency launched an experimental wingless shuttle this morning. the car-sized spacecraft already returned to earth as planned. joining me tonight is a doctor professor of physics at the city university of new york and author of the future of the

the toughest negative ads were mitt romney against newt gingrich. >> we're in a period of reform.so maybe this applies to mitt romney as well. >> you know, savannah, what interests me now is watching jeb bush, i saw a washington post clip here jeb bush has become the gop front-runner for 2016. now what? i'm going, since when do we have a front-runner who doesn't lead in any polls? >> when romney was still polling, he had much better numbers than jeb bush does. i think that's interesting. establishment people who cover washington think jeb bush is a formidable opponent and he may be in a general election. but when you look at grassroots republicans he doesn't even make it to the top five of the des moines registrar bloomberg poll. >> he's not going to play well in iowa. but cramer, i think about your audience, about the business audience i'm guessing they love jeb. what do they think of scott walker? >> look, they're not pro union. when you -- >> they're going to like scott walker. >> he's good for higher stock prices. money go? does it all go to jeb and christie first and then wal

peter king made his name fighting against newt gingrich. he separates himself from the national party with stuff like this. where the mo brooks and very conservative people when it comes to this question? this is the 20th time we have seen this since 2011. he needs to get to a point with this with full funding for the department of homeland security with basically no strings attached. when can boehner safely push for that and not risk a insurrection on the republican side? >> tell them as we have been reporting that the thing they're trying to stop has been stopped. i understand the congressman's point that it could restart. a lot of things could change in life and politics but this is a phantom fight at this point. steve >>> we're going to check in on cpac. that's next. >> obamacare is a train wreck. >> our lead-from-behind president. >> sometimes people need to be told to sit down and shut up. new aleve pm the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour strength of aleve. i knew instantly that this was... wow! it's crest hd. it'

even former house speaker newt gingrich took to social media calling the tear jerker brilliant. this year's second highest score went to always for their commercial saying like a girl can and should dignify. of the funnier ads fiat scored highest. number three on the ad meter using a lost viagra pill to promote a pumped up fiat. >> everybody was in love with it after that. >> more humor getting high marks? doritos gross guy on the airplane. using doritos to score the pretty blond. but the punch line she has a baby. >> it was a fun one. it wasn't you know didn't get all complicated with politics or anything. the guy, you know, just being a guy. >> many viewers wanted more laughs. >> i was very disappointed. >> they were rather sad. i kind of got tired of seeing so many car commercials. >> so many dark and sad ads this year, one viewer joked on twitter. coming up next, alpo makes us relive the time they had to shoot old yeller. add more depressing from kim kardashian to football toting toe fungus. now, leon i know you thought kim kardashian was funny and so did i. this was suppose

by the way the president is obviously unable and unwilling to lead newt gingrich and bill clinton worked out a compromise on welfare. remember papa bush 41 worked on foreign policy issues the americans with disabilities act, ronald reagan and tip o'neill solved problems. we don't have a president that wants to engage the congress, wants to be part of that. i want my republican party, don't worry about john boehner. let's start addressing some of these problems the old fashioned way, good legislation, let him explain to americans why the republicans had a good idea but it wasn't good enough for me. >> i'm glad that you're focused at both ends of pennsylvania avenue because it does occur to me the president has been awol for the last several days as this has played itself out. what could he have done what should he have done, trying to get together the leadership of the house to put this aside? >> i think michael, again, he's unrespectful of the office of the president. he is my president, even though obviously i didn't vote for him. but i think from day one he's pretty much demonstrated h

rick perry for getting the third government agency he wanted to abolish, to newt gingrich trying to colonizen. to trying to settle a debate with a $10,000 bet. it is going to be worth watching. the republican takes will be very hot indeed. here is a quick preview from mike huckabee speaking this morning about which religious groups get more support from president obama. >> everything he does is against what christians stand for, and he's against the jews in israel. the people who know they will have his undying, unfailing support, is the muslim community. it doesn't matter if it is the more radical muslim community or recent muslim community. i assure you that a beheading is worse than a sunburn. >> wait until he hits the campaign train. imagine what he will do to jeb bush in the debate season. might wined up sounding like a world daily comment thread, but it'll not be boring. he up to? root touch-up by nice'n easy... has the most shade choices designed to match even salon color in just 10 minutes. with root touch-up, all they see is you. ♪ they lived. ♪ they lived. ♪ they lived. ♪ (dad) we

the following month i get invited to the inauguration and get a thank you from newt gingrich and toms, that we really delivered that the bush. we asked him to deliver us the bill against secret evidence, and they tell us because ashcroft question is confirmation was delayed, it will take time. i get a call back in august 2001 basically telling me from the same person that their study the issue and going to be good news. he asked me to invite all the muslim leaders to washington d.c. at the white house in which the news would have been announced. >> and then what happened? our feed to istanbul, turkey may have frozen. sami, you left us by saying, then you got a call or you're supposed to invite everyone to washington for an important announcement. >> right. and i did invite everyone and briefed them and told them there will be an announcement against these of secret evidence by bush that afternoon. and everybody was in town. unfortunately, it was 9/11. that meeting never happened. everybody was asking, how come from these muslim leaders in washington, even though the airspace was clos

former house speaker newt gingrich will look at the debate over new president -- presidential war powers against isis and why he thinks the u.s. is losing the war against radical islam. you will take your calls, and you can join the conversation on facebook and twitter.

the unfunded mandates reform act was enacted as a part of newt gingrich's contract with america. even in the context of the extreme agenda of the contract with america, congress included several limitations in the unfunded mandates reform act. this bill would repeal those limitations. for example under this bill agencies would be required to consult with regulated industries on proposed rules before they are even made public. for example, if a consumer financial protection bureau planned to propose a new rule to protect consumers from abusive mortgage practices, banks would get advance access to the rule. and the opportunity to say things before our constituents the consumers. i believe that businesses should have the opportunity to provide comments on he proposed rules. but they should do it through the normal public comment process just like other stakeholders. h.r. 50 would also expand judicial review under the unfunded mandates reform act. that stat tearly prohibits courts from using its requirements to delay or invalidate a rule. this bill eliminates that restriction which w

when you say things -- he didn't say this but newt gingrich did -- these kinds of things they are not because that's what they believe. and when you believe things that's the opposite of what a majority of the american voters believe. by the way, don't forget barack obama beat mitt romney by 5 million votes. >> absolutely. >> i'm sure that those 5 million were not all african-american. here's the deal republican party, as tara just said if you'd like women to vote for you as a majority and gay people and latinos and black people you should probably acknowledge that they exist as gay people as latinos, as women and as black people as opposed to just americans because, in fact they are. >> abby you are the republican on the panel tonight. let me put you on the spot. >> sure. >> do -- you hear that the romney spokesman said that it's a lie. what do you think? do you think romney said this? >> you also have to remember that this is a book and you want to sell books. this is the first of -- i mean not the first, rather but one of many books that have come out within the obama administratio
