the contract with the newt gingrich. it goes both ways. in the majority, you don't have as natural opportunity or the dynamic to push back to show approachin what your and plans are as you do when you have a majority. it helps to play, really grow a sharp contrast. bipartisanship, which i think all three of us are strong believers in. today's dynamic is quite different, a different time and place. it goes back to the central clinton,t president candidate clinton, not only had a vision, he had a plan, and he transitioned, which is the challenge of the first year. from the campaign to governing he was able to do that. that goes to your question, as well. you're seeing a president with majorities in both houses unable to get anything done. that is partly the structure, that hearly of the way party rose up in the wake of president obama. when he had democratic majority in both houses. he has taken over and created a whole to the right -- pull to the right. that i think are true about what is going on with trump as president is he thrives in cr

so newt gingrich got the leadership among the house republicans.he knocked off jim wright and his whole thing was that to make it personal, go after the president, use a guy named kim start. but during that time coming back to what was said to put on a happy side talk when there were some tough times and some strong fights with the republicans at the time. i think nelson mandela said some to the president once. they became great friends but, the president tried to understand how mandela could not have been filled with hate. having spent 27 years in the present. and he said, if i hated them, they would still control me. the only way to be free is to let that go. oddly, the president wasn't happy every day. i think it was stretched just get stuff done. now remember the last meeting we had three guard to the republican leadership in 1998 in the middle starr report at the hill campaigns are being waged was the first time this happened since 1822 in the wig party collapse in the republican reaction was to talk to gingrich but they proceeded under -- lea

let's ask somebody who has been around capitol hill, newt gingrich, former speaker of the house, fox se to having the votes they need in the house but the senate is a whole other deal. what is going to happen at midnight tomorrow? >> my guess is the government is going to stay open. speaker ryan has put together a very clever package, which includes extending the children's health program. it includes postponing three taxes for obamacare that virtually everybody in both parties are opposed to. i think it's going to be very expensive for democrats in the house to go home and explain why they voted against children's health, why they voted against postponing these taxes that are very unpopular. at the same time, when you get to the senate, there are 10 senators up for re-election in the democratic party in states that president trump carried. how do they go home and explain that they care so much for people who are here illegally that they are willing to shut down the american military. i think that's a very expensive vote and i think in the end, people like joe manchin are going to fin

former house speaker newt gingrich joins us tonight. you are a connected person.hink he will say? >> i think it will be a speech about americaning and the identity of the country and talk as president of the united states and not a leader of the trump faction and i think he will say the economic policy is working and people are seeing in their way ways that are real and tangible. and bipartisan effort to fix the effort of the dreamers and protecting americans from people who are here illegally and committed crimes. i think he has several gechts. if you go down the list of the guests. they had direct relationship to being attacked by ms13 and gangs and other problems. i think it will be a a speech designed to set the stage of a year of trying to work on things. trump understands that the next phase of where he's at is find a way to do infrastructure and bipartisan and get to a bipartisan agreement on immigration and doing it in a framework that is reflective of his values and beliefs. >> tucker: he will talk about america as a whole country and not identity politic

it undercut newt gingrich and clinton came out the winner.it was immediately eclipsed by the issue with the obamacare website and we had this dramatic high-speed chase and shootout here at the capitol with the capitol police, which kind of took a lot of members aback and said these are capitol police that are defending us. they're not getting paid in this government shut down. let's reopen the government and the government reopened a few days later. so you have the events that can be unforeseen. can that effect the market? maybe, maybe not. and it deals with money. how much you willing to spend on this. certainly an issue on defense and nondefense issues. they want to increase defense spending, the republican defense hawks do there. but this is really about daca. that's why republicans say wait a minute. democrats are trying to shoe horn this in. in the end of the day, it's not about spending and it's about daca. because republicans don't have the votes, they have to turn to democrats and democrats to pro pound the daca issue. >> neil: it's a

like many republicans, newt gingrich has gone on to defend trump's behavior and language, even defendinged over his language, anthony scaramucci. >> president trump is a new yorker. he and scaramucci sort of speak the same language. trump wants somebody willing to mix it up with the news media, get in the middle of the fight. >> the list goes on. mike huckabee claiming he was very offended by the f word as recently as 2016. >> in iowa, you would not have people who would just throw the f-bomb and use gratuitous profanity in a professional setting. >> right. >> in new york, not only do the men do it, but the women do it. as we would say in the south, that's just trashy. >> meanwhile, during the clinton rear it was minister pat robinson blasting what he called clinton's, quote, sexual freedom. >> we are watching the office that was ennobled by watch and jefferson and lincoln become the playpen for the sexual freedom of the poster child of the 1960s. after all, not all our elected officials are debauched, debased and defamed, thank god for that. >> now that is a position many people held ba

georgia senator david purdue is with us along with former speaker of the house newt gingrich. the trump administration and the president signed eric trump is here as well but afl-cio president richard trumka joins us this morning along with senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano. don't miss a moment of it. let's kick it off. president trump making a bold statement with his first state of the union address. look at the top moments from last nights speech. >> the state of our union is strong because our people are strong. since the election, we have created 2.4 million new jobs. the stock market has smashed one record after another, getting $8 trillion in more in value in a short period of time. the great news for americans, 401(k), retirement pension and college savings account has gone through the roof. we enacted the biggest tax cut and reforms in american history. since we passed tax cuts roughly 3 million workers have already gotten tax cut bonuses. the era of economic surrender is totally over. it is also time to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure. we will do it

. >> sean: former speaker of the house, newt gingrich, calling out the schizophrenic insanity. now fox news contributor, sara carter. a non-story about a non-event. that sums up the hysteria yesterday. but what they missed yesterday is what you were and we were reporting and that is just how abusively bias strzok and page were and how many people were in the loop knowing the fix was in as it relates to doing a real investigation into hillary clinton before they interviewed her, exonerations before any investigation. so that's going to be frustrating as you've been unpeeling every layer of this onion. >> as investigation comes out about the fbi and text messaging and peter strzok and lisa page and as more evidence starts to unravel, you get a leak like this that goes to "the new york times." it's a non story. the president has every right to question whether special counsel mueller is right for the job and has the right to discuss it privately with his attorneys. as we see, nothing happened. so he didn't fire special counsel mueller. he talked about the circumstances around spec

that the president should only respond to written questions, like a take-home test, trump ally newt gingrichned that the president could find himself out-matched against mueller's prosecutors if it were a face-to-face setting. >> i think that they should proffer that mueller can submit written questions and they'll answer his written questions. >> make it that easy. >> but i would not get involved in a free-for-all. i think the idea of putting trump in a room with five or six hardened, very, very clever lawyers, all of whom who are trying to trap him, would be a very, very bad idea. >> there you just heard newt gingrich's inef-able, statement that the president's not up to it mentally. negotiations over the format of a questioning over the president is ongoing right now. but if trump's lawyer team does not cooperate, mueller could subpoena the president to simply say, you're going to appear before a grand jury, something the president's lawyers are trying like hell to avoid. i'm joined now by ken delaney, right now, investigative reporter for nbc news, jerry bash, an msnbc analyst, we're luc

newt gingrich got the blame. 2013, john boehner and house republicans took the blame even with boem inhe -- with barack obama in the whougs. >> is there a case to be made that putting daca/the d.r.e.a.m.ers into this cr is a mistake? there's too much to it. you're not going to get just that, whether a wall component and/or security, chain migration, the lottery, do you think there's just too much to fit it in in two days? >> no comprehensive immigration reform is enough to plesh by friday, but the terms of the graham/durbin bill, which i saw on paper, included 1.6 billion for construction of something that president trump would call a wall and the democrats would call virtual fencing or whatever would make them comfortable. but these concessions on chain migration should make conservatives very happy and i think liberal democrats. they are upset about it. this is interesting, he got a last-minute blowback from immigration talks, including his aide, stephen miller, that is now playing the steven bannon role as well as senator cotton who is pushing for restrictions on legal immigration.
