i remembered the newt gingrich that stole christmas. he went through an awful lot, a lot of battles with the media. wrinkly it seems like kindergarten compared to how vicious this effort to take him down, delegitimize him, it is. is there a comparison? did you go through this? where does this end? >> i have a little sense of where he was going through. it was true when "time" magazine had me on the cover as the grinch that stole christmas, and the following link i was the dr. seuss figure and on "newsweek," attacking -- that was before reverse born in, by the way. this is deeper, donald j. trump represents the end of their world. the people he was talking to -- in pennsylvania -- are people who really want to go back to core american values, they are fed up with the hollywood left, with left-wing academics brainwashing their children. they are fed up with "the new york times" and "washington post" and cbs and nbc and abc. they understand what the game is. the result is with trump having won the presidency, he is in position to pretty co

developments about the deep state, that is now targeting more members of the trump administration, newt gingrichill join us in a moment along with jay secular oh, and from circa news.com, but first tonight there is a war on freedom of speech, especially for conservatives coming and now conservatives are starting to fight back against the left, that is tonight's all-important opening monologue. ♪ >> sean: i have to start on a personal note of something that happened last week. now, i was asked by the family of the dnc staffer that was killed in july to pullback covering the story of the death, because their son and their family was hurting. and now their family out of consideration and seeing the pain that they were going through, they told me a number of times what was happening with them, and i was honestly glad to accommodate them. because as a father i know that i would probably never recover if i lost one of my kids. i honestly do not think it is possible. i cannot imagine the pain that they have gone through. now out of respect for the family's wishes, well, i decided for the time being not

amazon.com and hannity.com, understanding trump, former speaker of the house, house republican newt gingrich. he said, by the way, james comey be careful. by the way, james comey by the end of next week will probably be an msnbc contributor, that's only my guess, because he's in the tank as everyone else and he did such a bad job but now they're saying trump said there might be tapes. he's threatening james comey, with what? his own words? >> look, i think you have it basically right. we're in the middle of a cultural civil war. virtually all the elite media's on the other side. they wake up every morning and they say, i know trump did something horrible. what was it? and that's the base of their d day. it's to track down the horrible thing that they know has happened. um, and i think frankly, the president ought to shift gears entirely. get off all of this washington insider baloney and go back to changing the government and

newt gingrich, judge jeanine pirro, dr.ina loudon, maria bartiromo, austan goolsbee and herman cain are all guests joining us tonight. the destroy-trump-media -- it continues to breathlessly push the bizarre tinfoil hat conspiracy. russia, collusion, no evidence do they have, whatsoever. this has now become the biggest scandal in the history of the media and its country. it's time to get to the truth. we got to set the record straight. nobody else in the media will do it and that is tonight's unique -- in terms of media -- openingit monologue. the destroy-trump-media absolutely refuses to follow the facts when it comes to the baseless claims of president colluding with the russians. that's because these very radical, rigid ideologues do not care about telling you, the america people, the truth.y the main objective is to smear and besmirch president trump no matter what actual evidence exists or doesn't exist or what it shows. these purveyors of very fake news are perfectly happy peddling their lives as long as it inflicts d

newt gingrich, jay sekulow, joe concha and peter schweizer here tonight. first, the commander-in-chief is not taking the lies, smear, slander, disparchment anymore from the media or the democrats. president has had enough. tonight, he's fighting back. that's our opening monologue. all right so after neverending fake news conference from propaganda media highlighted by this unprecedented negativity and their bizarre tinfoil hat conspiracy theories and outright lies, president trump tonight is fighting back to set the record straight. in an interview with judge jeanine pirro that airs here on the fox newschannel tomorrow 9:00 eastern time, the president says he's now contemplating getting rid of white house daily briefings due to the out-of-control media bias. finally! take a look. >> when we have those press conferences, i actually said we shouldn't have them, because sarah lucky. -- huckabee. >> you've been doing it for 100 years. you can't do that. >> there's never been action like this. this is crazy. they're getting higher ratings on the press conferenc

newt gingrich is here to respond to that.to miss what he has to say next. >> you have every provision of this bill tattooed on your forehead. you will glow in the dark on this one. you will glow in the dark. >> bill: nancy pelosi moments before the votes happened. newt gingrich author of a new book called "understanding trump." that should be good. he is the former house speaker and with me now. fox news contributor. nice to see you in person. it's great to be here. it passes in the house, evaluate it. >> very much improved. the last five weeks have actually worked. the number one concern of americans, existing pre-conditions, guarantees they have axis to health insurance. begins to move us toward a more market-oriented system and begins is the right term. the senate will do some things that will be different and then they have to go to conference and produce a bill. it is still a big challenge but it was a huge victory for president trump. a big victory for paul ryan. this was a heavy lift. >> bill: a long way to go, we can

mark levin, newt gingrich, michelle malkin, dr. sebastian gorka, jay sekulow, geraldo rivera all here tonight with reaction. tinfoil hat conspiracy liberals in congress, the destroy-trump-media, they are absolutely losing it. completely unhinged. of course over james comey being fired. which needed to happen. that is tonight's important opening monologue. deranged liberal crackpots are at it again. the very important decision to fire the fbi director pushing brand-new and completely insane conspiracy theories. trump was asked why he decided to fire james comey. here's what he said. >> why did you fire director comey? >> because he wasn't doing a good job. he wasn't doing a good job. >> sean: that is a simple, basic fundamental truth that liberals can't face. he did not do his job. he failed you, the american people. he disrespected the constitution and made a mockery out of the rule of law.w. he sat on his hands while your fourth amendment privacy rights were being trampled on. and he created most dangerously a two-tiereded justice

newt gingrich was on the sunday show saying that's a myth.s is a myth that baby would somehow be denied health care or coverage. let me play for you. >> you show up at a hospital with a new baby and the baby has a heart problem. the doctors do every they can to save the baby. they try to save the baby's life. that's true across the board in the country. that is just part of the myth of the left. >> abby, when the baby is born, doctors will do what they can. for the next ten years of care, you can't just show up at an emergency room and demand open heart surgery. >> he was not talking about insurance. he was talking about emergency care on the spot. that's the issue. >> you hear people say that. emergency rooms can fill the gap. >> and labrador was talking about the same emergency care. that is where he was going with that conversation. no one dies from lack of health care. he means you can walk into an emergency room and they treat you. what he is not talking about is the other part of the health care system which is what do you do when you n

former speaker of the house fox news contributor newt gingrich. honestly -- you're laughing at me i know why you're laughing at me so don't even start. i have been so frustrated byly thist process. you come on very sober, elder statesman of the show come a long time friend and you just, hannity, let me calmly walk you through the process. calmly walk us to the process. >> tonight, no, no, be excited. and be, be positive. my newsletter tomorrow is going to be entitled trump's triumph. this is an extraordinary achievement is three months earlier than reagan got his tax cut to 30 months earlier than we got welfare reform. i think five months earlier than they got obamacare through. i didn't think they could do it i was very, very skeptical. they kept working and i know you sometimes disagree with me onas this, paul ryan was in there every day trying to find votes. mark meadows was a great leader who said from the mid of the original bill went down, we've got to come together, we got to find a compromise. w he provided real leadership. kevin mccarthy

newt gingrich is a smart man. he knows if you don't have an emergent situation an e.r.nd you back home. this is a talking point. who is leading the charge to take care of people in this country now on the democrats' side? i guess bernie sanders but they haven't filled in this moment. >> and kimmel has a talking point no one should be able to dispute. it's amazing that people were trying to dispute it as though he didn't have a valid point. i happen it to know jimmy really well. he's an incredibly sincere guy. the idea of him being an elitist creep is off base. he's a blue collar guy. >> that's a narrative, also. >> he is an honest guy. this hit him in a place that was so deep and emotional he has thrown himself into it. >> that authenticity everybody loves particularly on television, that leads us to stephen colbert who had his obscene rant or whatever -- crude rant -- but it seems to have worked. when he began criticizing president trump, his ratings spiked and he, in fact, leap flogged jimmy fallon who had taken over "the tonight show." and is there a feeling stephen

more with newt gingrich after the break. and coming up next... >> you see something that happened like two days ago, you see how important it is to win this fight. >> sean: president trump in brussels earlier today talking about defeating terrorism and later, the investigation continues into the deadly terrorist attack at a concert in manchester, england, targeting teenagers. the manchester bomber spent three weeks in libya before the deadly terrorist attack. we will check in with judge jeanine pirro, gina loudon, and also... >> i am drafting an article of impeachment. >> sean: snowflake democratic congressman al green is scratching documents for impeachment. all up next week i let her play sheriff so i can wash it. i use tide to get out those week old stains and downy to get it fresh and soft. you are free to go. tide and downy together. anyone ever have occasional constipation,diarrhea, gas or bloating? she does. she does. help defend against those digestive issues. take phillips' colon health probiotic caps daily with thr

his name is newt gingrich.e's the former speaker of the house. >> you show up at a hospital with a brand new baby and the brand new baby has a heart problem the doctors of that hospital do everything they can to save the baby. they don't say we'll take care of the baby right after you write a check. they try to save the baby's life. and that's true across the board in this country. >> yes, it is true that if you have an emergency they will do an operation and that's terrific if your baby's health problems are all solved during that one visit. the only problem is that never, ever happens. we've had a dozen doctor's appointments since our son had surgery. you've got a cardiologist, a pediatrician. surgeon. some kids need an ambulance to transport them. that doesn't even count the parents who have to miss work for all this stuff. those details newt forgot to mention. i don't know if the double layers of spanx are restricting the blood flow to his brain.

liz: is newt gingrich right, is it trump tore gop republicans afraid they will lose in the mid-term.d: he was willing to trade off something. liz: you mean for the high-risk pool. ed: that was an expensive and important step. this is the first step. fit would have lost date would have been done. they can fix it in the senate. they will know more what's in the bill. this is not the final version in any way, shape or form. the goal is to move forward and do the things the president promised to do. they made a big effort and i think it's smart. liz: you never heard democrats talk about how insurance companies were leaving the exchanges and in some counties people had anyone surers in their markets. what can the senate do to this version of the bill? ed: the senate has different rules. they have to leave it in the bujt terry reconciliation bills. they will str have time to look at the bill. see what the insurance companies need. you can't let them all shutdown. to a certain extent you pass a piece of legislation and come back the following year and fix it. we didn't do that with amacare.

joining us now on this very serious news night, newt gingrich. mr. speaker, i'm trying to lay out the case here. james comey i think earned this. i would love your thoughts. >> i think the key facts is that the brand-new deputy attorney general, a 30-year justice department career -- endorsed by the senate 94-6, this is the person who wrote the letter, which is devastating and said it's clear that director comey cannot lead the fbi and has made such a series of mistakes that has crippled the morality of the fbi, in that letter goes through citing attorney general after attorney general all saying what comey has done violates totally the fbi -- president trump, give the deputy attorney general who everyone agrees is a nonpartisan widely approved career professional sends a letter to the attorney general and says if we are going to rebuild the fbi, comey has to go. the attorney general's that's all right, i agree with you. he puts a cover letter on. and it shows up on president trump's desk. what i would say to democrats is -- if the president of the u

ambassador to the holy see. >> she is newt gingrichs wife and a devout catholic.uld be seen as a reward for someone like newt gingrich who was a top surrogate for the trump campaign certainly ended up defending them. sometimes made some critical comments. for the most part, a pretty big ally of president trump. if she got the plum position it would be a reward. you do hit on an important point here is that this is not the most important of ambassadorships. the fact that we're starting to get word that this is a pick, instead of the more hot spot ambassadors and even more importantly, a lot of the important assistant secretaries, many of the people who would end up running the government in the next year or two still haven't been appointed yet. i think there's a good question on what this administration is prioritizing and what it's not. >> yeah, and what they have done and haven't done. now the president himself talking about getting rid of press briefings. i mean, do we think he's serious about that? >> it's hard to say. look, there was a question about this ques

former house speaker newt gingrich joins me in a moment with his take on what is really going on at the white house and what he thinks should go on at the white house. first, we begin with chief correspondent and had ed henry and how they intend to tackle this. >> the bottom line is i'm hearing from us on the president's top advisors tonight he is fed up with all of these attacks and as soon as he gets back from this foreign trip, he is planning to take the fight to his critics much more aggressively. the president beefing up the white house staff with what you call that war room. basically aimed at getting much tougher onto big issues. pushing back against leakers inside the deep state of government and dealing with the various investigations of the russia allegations. phase one of all this was the president taking the outside counsel, this tough new york attorney mark caso it's. he is a quote ready to rumble. phase two of this, the spotlight is now on corey lewandowski. they are two trusted hands from the trump campaign who could be added to the white house staff. advisors say that bo

newt gingrich and author of the upcoming book, understanding trump. it comes out june 13. newt, great to have you with us. congratulations on the new book. title couldn't be more apt to our conversation tonight. is he right? a good shutdown to clear the way for better judgment and better results? >> he's right if it's the only way to get it done. if they set up the strategy and communicate to the country, the country will support them. we closed the government twice en i was speaker. it didn't hu us at all. if the country understood we were in a battle over reforming welfare and balancing the budget. but right now is a different situation. this was the last obama budget. trump was not yet prepared, had not laid the ground work for a government shutdown. and the truth is he made a lot. democrats made a huge mistake because they didn't read the fine print. he got the money for the wall. when you read what they actually wrote, the only thing they blocked was concrete. they didn't block steel, they didn't block other what is of doing it. the democrats only stopped one part. th

understanding trump and former speaker of the house newt gingrich. and james comey, be careful. he by the end of the week next week he will be an msnbc contractor. he's in the tank as everyone else and he did a bad job. trump said there might be tapes. he's threatening james comey with what? his own words? >> i think you have it basically right are. we are in the middle of a cultural civil war. and all of the elite media is on the other side and wake you up every morning and i know trump did something horrible and what was it? that is what they tack down the horrible thing they know has happened and the president ought to shift gear and get off all of the washington insider baloney and go back to draining the swamp and passing reform and repealing regulations and doing the kinds of things that the country cares about and attracting the new business in america. all around him his cabinet is doing work. do a daily briefing to the country of the things that the president and administration are doing. and plenty of things done in the department of agriculture and department of energ

bill clinton was president and newt gingrich was speaker of the house. and amazon was just getting started. it was start of the dot-com boom. >> a lot going on today. welcome. i'm neil cavuto. >> internet book seller amazon.com was a big seller on the first day of public trading. they outreached their opening price of $18 and doubled expectations. they closed the day at 23 1/2. >> i had a better toupee back there and have gone through puberty. amazon had a lot of doubters, particularly those that found buying things online off kilter. they were the consensus, largely the experts. the group predisposed to dispose of anything new. that was amazon in 1997. it was teamed a revolution not unlike another one by the so called smart money crowd. the year was 1903 when the president of the michigan savings bank said this to henry ford's lawyer. the force is here to stay but the horse is a fad. and a movie producer said of entertainment that television won't last because people he get tired of staring at apply wood box. or the down of the computer when ken holtzma

. >> heather: some more advice came from newt gingrich. he is a huge advocate of the president all through the campaign. here's what he had to say. >> i have two pieces of radical advice. one, turn off the television. trump reacts to it. it's fine to look at it for information. it's really self-destructive to allow yourself to dance to their tune. two, when you have one channel that's 93-7 negative, cancel the daily press briefings. why would you give them an hour every day to try and figure out clever ways to attack spicer? >> heather: good question. those two pieces of advice, are they good? >> and make sense for the president to send his own agenda and not be pulled around by the other agendas surrounding him. that part is good advice. i think on the second part about the press briefings, there is no requirement that he holds a daily press briefing, it's an opportunity for them to set the agenda. and many cases, they have done so. the history of these press briefings for every president has been an effort on the white house was part to

mike huckabee, newt gingrich, helping, organizing, getting the agenda moving. >> they've been with him from the beginning, they been doing a lot. >> sean: even more involved. >> the idea that this president has a communications department that is jumping at opportunities to attack the left, to attack the deep state and to defend and promulgate this president's agenda just drives me nuts. >> sean: you said it's war, you and i get nuts over the same things. cory, do you like the idea somehow -- 80% of the time seems to be distraction, attacks, reaction, attack, attack, attack, guys like mike, newt gingrich, reorganizing and do the fighting, let people who govern actually do their job? >> i think it's super important those individuals who supported this candidate's trump now president trump are out in public talking about what's really going on. what we've seen, and no one's want to talk about this. if you look at his numbers in the states of ohio and pennsylvania, his numbers are up amongst republicans who voted for him last cycle. his numbers are higher by eight points in ohio, his appr

newt gingrich read his books as a way to understand him. it was effective.rump is very much warn of a certain moment in new york city, the 1980's and 1990's. he is this almost strange nationalized amalgamation of ed koch and rudy giuliani. these hyper engaged, hyper social, different types of governing styles, mayors. doing" was the "how my mayor. trump does a version of that. charlie: he admires general mattis a lot. the military, people who have done well and c mike winters, he is very attracted to and seems to give them a capacity to even to make, decisions on the spot. >> i think that is the part that has been a relief to people. the winds this president has had in the first 100 days, there are not many as proteinn point to instead of carbs. in addition to getting the supreme court justice through, although they had to change the senate rules, he has empowered tillerson, mattis -- mcmaster and kelly to a much greater degree than people thought he would. and he has allowed himself to be influenced by them. the concern was -- trump is not just admiring of

and it's penned by newt gingrich, former speaker of the house.ecause i have not seen this perspective before. he's analyzing the trump trip and specifically the speech that president trump gave in saudi arabia. geng ri never before has an american president tried so clearly to unite the civilized world including the nations of the middle east and africa against the forces of terrorism. never before has an american president issued so direct a challenge to those nations to do more in the fight and never before has an american president so plainly put the ultimate responsibility for eradicating terrorism on the nations of the region. just thought it was an interesting take. because you don't read a lot about that speech as a titanic shift as newt gingrich is calling it. he did compare it to other presidential turning points in history. i guess history will judge whether this has the same effect. >> well worth the read. we'll have to see whether his european leg in brussels is seen as a success. >>> approaching the top of the hour. the team is getti

what newt gingrich is saying is not true. maybe he has been misled.rning. but it's very bizarre. >> what about this man's family? what are they saying? >> the spokesperson for the family has been very forceful in saying he's demanded a e traction, which picked up a local story. i must have asked half a dozen times and it's nothing. they are not responding to us. >> thank you so much for all of that. more on our breaking news coming up. michael flynn will plead the fifth and refuse to cooperate with the senate intelligence committee over the russia sbe investigation. we'll get into that, next. he's happy. your family's finally eating vegetables thanks to our birds eye voila skillet meals. and they only take 15 minutes to make. ahh! birds eye voila so veggie good all umm...ed. you wouldn't want your painter to quit part way, i think you missed a spot. so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day? aleve, live whole not part. you want this color over the whole house? that goes beyond assuming beingredients are safe...ood to knowi

his name is newt gingrich.peaker of the house. >> you show up at the hospital with the brand new baby and the brand new baby has a heart problem, the doctors of that hospital do everything they can to save the baby. they don't say we will take care of the baby right after you write a check. they try to save the baby's life. that's true across the board. >> yes, it is true if you have an emergency they will do an operation and that's terrific, if your baby's health problems are all solved during that one visit. the only problem is that never, ever happens. we have had a dozen doctors' appointments since our son had surgery. you have a cardiologist, pediatrician, surgeon, some kids need an ambulance to transport them. that doesn't even count the parents who have to miss work for all this stuff. those details, newt forgot to mention. i don't know if the double layers of spanx are restricting the blood flow to his brain. >> so erin, you are one of the critics that kimmel is addressing here. you have come after him.

have been in the south you dealt with politicians he's pointing, sessions didn't just pop up, newt gingrichas been in georgia most of my life. so for me when you talk about these people further up the east coast it becomes boogie man but if you are from the southeast you know these people, you know their moves, which i think makes it easier to organize against the moves they're making, if we use it as an opportunity to organize not an opportunity to name blame. do you see organizing or just protests. >> i see plot, plan, strategize, organize and mobilize. let's make sure we organize and have an agenda. our allies have agendas our allies we fight for they have an agenda. we know the immigrant population, gay and lesbian population, they have agendas we have to develop a real agenda has nothing to do with african people what they think. if public schools are not working for african-americans, boy in particular and we make sure girls are graduating higher rate than any other group of people. conservatives said send your boy into trade immediately. my hvac man lives next door. you know he came

newt gingrich. speaker newt gingrich. good morning to you, sir. >> good morning.icult to do. >> well is. >> i don't think anybody can predict trump. including trump, by the way. >> mr. speaker, we want to talk to you about carter page, he was monitored by the fbi to see if there's any collusion between president trump and russia. and he wants to speak in front of the house intel committee because he says his voice isn't being heard because the fbi and the cia when they were asking questions, they were talking about carter paige, and he said they got the story wrong. i want to tell my side and now we're learning today that democrats are saying what you know? we're not going to let him speak. we're going to postpone that and we don't even know if we're going to let him speak. what are your thoughts? >> well, look, i think the democrats and the news media have a one-sited false story. everyone who comes out tells the public all you need to know that carter paige might blow up their story because their story's false. and i hope carter paige will be allowed to speak. i

that is what newt gingrich and what you're saying.en. >> they're both bad. >> can't say all reporters are bad, all reporters are risk ral. lock them out. pete: they're saying both. we shouldn't barrage ourselves to left-wing talking point. >> that is different decision. we talked about on the couch before. i think it would be a mistake r there reporters that are not out to get the president. pete: reporters that aren't? >> john roberts is fair. jonathan karl. the brush you're painting everybody in that room is out to get the president. abby: maybe there is balance. maybe a way for both sides. >> less briefings that is their choice. that will also hurt them some days. president wants to talk about tax cuts they don't have a briefing that day. clayton: front page of "new york times," couple pages about the jared kushner. role in in the white house under strain. back channel discussion with the press, excuse me with the russian government before the election. i'm sorry before the election, during the transition. we know that this back ch

the close i could think is welfare, changing to it work and what ronald reagan did with newt gingrich. that's the closest i could come up with. >> yeah, the bipartisan reform of welfare in 1994 with newt gingrich and bill clinton is a rare moment. you can make the argument that the bipartisan agreement to reduce our dependency on protective tariffs is another example of a big government program that was reversed. doesn't happen often. let's be clear about this. if the republicans are able to get this done, and that's a big if because this is a very complicated measure and a lot of differences in what the senate does, a lot of -- a conference committee that will try to reconcile it and another pair of difficult votes in the house and senate, even if the senate comes up with their own bill, the effects of that bill are going to be -- are going to take awhile to bake in. so this is not going to be necessarily a huge political winner for the republicans in 2018. but if they don't do it, it's a huge political loser. >> neil: what i did notice in the case of the obamacare in the first vote

. >> with newt gingrich. with newt gingrich. >> exactly. bipartisan support. >> on those benefits.equirement. and that's what president trump is looking to do. work requirement. cheryl: you're going to keep going, but i have to take a quick commercial break, guys. but we're talking about nick mulvaney, folks. we do want to give you a sneak preview of former u.s. treasury secretary interview with our very own maria bartiromo for wall street week. listen. >> director mul mulvaney is being dishonest because suggesting that we had used the same practice as their practice. they are the first to depart from what the whole big world think so. cheryl: maria kept going. it's going to be on wall street week this friday night at 8:00 p.m. right here on fox business because maria bartiromo pretty awesome as well. coming up, we've got a texas sheriff facebook post. and that sheriff is now being accused of being a racist after telling politically-correct americans to wake up to terrorist threats after the manchester attack. that sheriff is going to react to all the hate on social media. finally.

gingrich is the third wife of former house speaker newt gingrich, a close advisor to president trump o was considered for a cabinet position. calista gingrich is a devout catholic who said in 2011 she's always been a very spirit all person. >>> now more on the fbi's performance and whether they can be effective without james comey at the helm. 25% of those polled say they have confidence there will be a fair and impartial investigation. only 12% have no confidence the fbi can get the job done right. joining us now, cnn cent ontrib, and ambassador to the chzech republic. whoever is the next fbi director, can americans trust there will be no white house pressure and influence? >> thanks for having me. whether or not americans will be able to trust the president's fbi pick depends on who he chooses. he needs to go in the direction of a career professional, somebody with ties to the fbi or to law enforcement. there is some highly political names on the list. that would be the wrong choice, say to choose a sitting senator. too political. but if he makes a solid choice, the american people

newt gingrich read his books as a way to understand him. it was effective.rump is very much warn of a -- born of a certain moment in new york city, the 1980's and 1990's. he is this almost strange nationalized amalgamation of ed koch and rudy giuliani. these two very, very hyper engaged, hyper social, different types of governing styles, mayors. ed koch was the "how my doing" mayor. trump does a version of that. charlie: he admires general mattis a lot. somehow, the military, those people who have done well and seemed like winners, he is very attracted to and seems to give them a capacity to influence him, even to make decisions on the spot. maggie: i think that is the part that has been a relief to people. if you look at the wins this president has had in the first 100 days, there are not many that you can point to as protein as opposed to carbs. i would put many executive orders in the cards category. carbs category. charlie: that's a nice way to put it. maggie: in addition to getting the supreme court justice through, although they had to change the senat

. >> martha: former speaker of the house newt gingrich joins us. is also fox news political contributor and author of the new book, "understanding trump," which we will ask him about in just a moment. good to see you this evening, newt. it was very interesting listening to hillary clinton. as you can see in the timestamp, she said in one moment, i take full responsibility for what happened. then, the next moment, she says, i would have won a federal one for comey and wikileaks. do you think she has learned the lessons that everyone else seems to have taken away are many people took away from the selection? >> am reading "shattered," which i was frank laid out all about. it is like watching a car wreck in a slow motion. she can come to grips with reality. over and over again in his book, they point out that none of her staff can tell her the truth. the number one problem of the hillary clinton was hillary clinton. in the end, she couldn't win a race that they all thought was going to be easy. the number took a problem, let's be clear, was donald tru
