is referring to that brought the charges against him and really publicly campaigned on this was newt gingrich. he went on a very public campaign that jim wright needed to be investigated, and wright felt personally offended some of the language that mr. gingrich used against tam and the charges that he brought against him and his wife, betty. many years later, after speaker wright resigned, he came to tcu. in 1995, he actually wrote a letter to newt gingrich addressing the scandal. i will read some of that. dear newt, there are some things i want to say to you and this is the best way to do it. these words are written not for publication but as a personal communication between you and me. first, even though we have some basic disagreements over the proper role of government and society, i respect your opinion, as i expect others to respect mine. while disagreeing with the substantial stress of your -- i believe the speaker should have a specific cohesive program and a definite action oriented timetable. that is leadership. next, i want you to know that i was angry and personally offended when

yes, it was hand delivered to newt gingrich by the house chaplain, jim ford. , in december, newt gingrich responded to the letter. jim, i have"dear thought and prayed over your personal note from last spring. i wish you know ill, and i will seek to avoid saying anything that would further hurt you or your family. i hope you can have a good holiday season and much cheer without destruction from the news media or me. thank you for writing. newt." this was a little bit before newt gingrich had his own ethics scandal in congress related to publishing. a kind of came full circle for him. is of much interest to historians and researchers who wright andk at jim his time in congress and many look at this event as the beginning of the partisanship in congress that still has an effect on washington today. it was a very significant event in congressional history. what we have here in the collection is some photographs and documents related to john f. kennedy's trip to dallas-fort worth in 1963. he actually came into and we have photographs of -- fort worth, and wehout a draft -- have photographs of

[applause] >> thank you very much and i'm glad you were here. she is also an intern with us and we are delighted to have him here today to cover the things that we talk about. i am delighted i have a chance to talk with you. i think young america's foundation is a very important role. let me ask you a question. those of you who are students at the present time how many of you would say there is a liberal bias on your campus? is there anybody here who would say there is not a liberal bias? it's a great school. i really like that school. >> that's the largest school i've heard. that's great. i think anybody watching this will have some sense of what this is all about a wide young america's foundation matters. part of the reason i wrote "trump's america" is that we are in a long-term struggle that is literally a cultural civil war and those

would you support newt gingrich or rick santorum? sure.ve on to national security issues. 0k. you have been very critical of obama in recent months on a host of national security challenges facing the united states. it seems to me from iraq to afghanistan to libya, barack obama has pursued strategies that have the support of a clear majority of the american people. and i am sure that there are other times in this country's history and your country's history when people have stood up for what they know is right, even though it is not happening. -- it —— it has been unpopular. the american people are glad we are out of iraq. we had a president once called harry truman. everybody wanted out of korea, but we stayed and the world is a better place for having made that sacrifice and the stubbornness on the part of harry truman. the fact is that the president said in his campaign that he would get out of iraq. we are out of iraq. do you know what the situation is there? it is unravelling. you think it would be better if the americans were still t

we come back, the take from newt gingrich. jimmy carter's view of what happened then and the lessons that we could learn. after this. >> neil: all right, you might have heard this, former president jimmy carter expressed his concern about the ongoing trade negotiations. mexico is concerned about if canada comes on board and the posture on trade here. they said, all of this second-guessing what he is doing, particularly in the knighted states senate senators and others talking about how good free trade is for the u.s. paid what they don't say is that we lost jobs and over $800 million a year on a really dumb trade deal. and these same countries tariff us to death. these lawmakers are just fine with this!" ohio republican senator, who i don't think he is talking about, those who are your colleagues are complaining don't realize that we have been getting the shorter end of the stick. is he right? >> he is right with regard to some countries, typically china, as you know. that has been the focus of a lot of us over time. how do yo

what newt gingrich also saw was the vast strategic potential. idea of the term media synonymous not just with democrat and liberal but the idea of elitism. he got his party to embrace a style of populism that placed the media in opposition to the values of everyday americans and it worked. it was the going risch iingrich that broke the democratic stronghold. not everyone in the republican party followed his media play book but he had given them a taste of what he could achieve. lo and behold, two decades later a celebrity billionaire took that same play book, ramped it up in a whole new way and with newt gingrich cheering him on at rallies and television, donald trump road it to the white house. >>> that's "hardball" for now. thank you for being with us. a reminder to tune in tomorrow morning beginning at 8:30 eastern. chris matthews will anchor msnbc's coverage of john mccain's memorial service at the national cathedral in washington. barack obama and george w. bush will deliver eulogies. keep it here on msnbc. >>> tonight on "all in." this rus

i was thinking about the clinton impeachment scandal where newt gingrich was simultaneously having his own affair with a congressional aide, so that is a great example of people being outraged by one thing but practicing something different in private and there is some ambiguity there. we see that same kind of social hotspot, where there are mixed feelings about it. some people are outraged, and others are kind of secretly accepting of the crisis, what is going on. steve: if you look at what has been going on in the gilded age and the vanderbilts and the rockefellers and the carnegies, in your area of research, what have you learned about the coachmen and other scandals? carolee: coachmen were a status symbol. status was so important to these people. they often had the most expensive delivery, very fancy, livery uniforms. they presented themselves on the top of a carriage, so a lot of people would show up to a ball, and they would be preceded literally by their coachman. people would recognize, that is the vanderbilts' coachman, that is the carnegies' coachman. and they would hire thes

let's listen to the way newt gingrich describes the situation. >> i think the president is very unwise to walk into a perjury trap against a group of smart guys who have spent a year's time getting ready to try to kill him. and i think he is not -- no one is smart enough to take on all of mueller's team. >> and of course there is no such thing as a perjury trap. all you have in perjury is someone who didn't tell the truth under oath. >> that's right. >> in other words, newt gingrich is saying it would be unwise for the president to take an oath. but in that you're seeing a communication to the president's supporters out there, to the president's base saying this is an unfair process. it is a trap and it would be -- the wise course for the president is to avoid this kind of sleazy lawyer trap. >> you know, and there is the truth of it, which is it would be extremely ill advised for the president to talk to mueller. anybody who was his attorney would say don't do it because it's not that it's a perjury trap. it's because he has a lot to be concerned about in terms of the questions he wil

newt gingrich saying the debate sparked by the story could play a big role in the midterms.e tibbetts could be a more important person had september and october than paul manafort ever dreamed of. she was killed by a person who is exactly what trump has been warning about. i think the left has to bear the burden of being a party tolerating americans being killed by people who are here illegally. >> jesse: juan, do you agree with the speaker's analysis? >> juan: no. but it is so blatant. you wonder. he basically said we are politicizing this for the midterms, and we are going to use it. you think yourself wait a minute. yesterday i sat on the show that i was reminded, kate steinle's brother had said he doesn't understand why people tried to politicize, sensationalize his sister's murder. today i am reading, and i see that some conservatives have been tweeting about this, along the lines that newt gingrich was describing. then there was a comment from one, ms. tibbetts' cousin saying my family lost a member and this is the response? her aunt saying "evil comes in every color,

ainsley: we talked to newt gingrich about it.an was engaged in lying to the american people about benghazi, knew everything they were saying was a lie, went along with the lie, that is why you have the sickness you have at the heart of our establishment. these people were all willing to lie to the country in return for whatever political games they were playing and they all thought they would be protected because they all thought hillary would win and hillary would take care of them and they're all terrified, because the more we learn the worse they look. steve: meanwhile the president of the states this morning has been up and tweeting last half hour. he had three tweets. we'll share two of them. the first one reads this, disgrace and discredited bob mueller and whole group of angry democrat thugs spent over 30 hours with the white house counsel which he misspelled, with my approval for transparency. anybody needing that much time when they know there is no russian collusion is someone looking for trouble. ainsley: they're enjoy

was newt gingrich correct? >> we have troops in syria and afghanistan, we've got -- >> jason: let me make sure dan gets in there. >> a couple of points here. john brennan has made some outrageous claims including that vladimir putin could blackmail president trump, and he called president trump guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors after the helsinki summit. if john brennan really believes these things, i think he would've been better off as a professional intelligence officer rather than saying this on msnbc or writing it in the press, he might've gone straight to the special counsel and explained what his concerns were. but the problem is that it's not just our own citizens who are listening john brennan, there are foreign governments and spies feelings stealing secrets on our behalf who are going to believe that john brennan and something that we don't earn their trust in our government is going to be degraded, our national security will be impacted negatively. the second point i would make quickly is that

newt gingrich was on "fox and friends" this morning. let's listen to his point of view and dan, i would like you to react to it. >> how would you like to have director of central intelligence so lacking common sense that he thinks he can write a tweet accusing the president of the united states of the equivalent of treason? high crimes and misdemeanors, and then explained that he's really not political? john brennan is totally political, he was basically a toady to president obama. he participated in lying to the american people about what happened in libya and in benghazi. and frankly, brennan should never have been director of the central intelligence. >> jason: dan, what is your reaction? was newt gingrich correct? >> i think so. we have troops in syria and afghanistan. we've got -- >> jason: let me make sure dan gets in there. >> a couple of points here. john brennan has made some outrageous claims including that vladimir putin could blackmail president trump, and he called president trump guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors afte

i heard newt gingrich talk about the fact that 90% of the items jeff sessions recused himself from heidn't need to. i think that's probably true. the president knows jeff sessions won't end this investigation. but it's also fair, this has been going on for a year and a half. there is no collusion, coordination and cooperation between them let's have the country move on and prove there was no collusion between the trump campaign and anyone in russia to impact the election. that's a fair thing to do. howie: paul manafort, the trial began this week. he replaced you as campaign chairman in 2016. given what we know now, millions of dollars from ukraine and he was broke at the time and trying to retain a lavish lifestyle. do you think hiring paul manafort was a mistake? >> i think it was a mistake. i think i should have stayed until the end of the campaign. i was doing a pretty good job in primaries and caucuses. i'm not a fan of paul manafort. whatever he did had nothing to .with the campaign or with his tenure volunteering or working for the trump organization. but is he getting the same

chris christie, newt gingrich, and mike pence were the last three. there was a lot of internal discussion about the pros and cons of each of those respective potential vice presidential candidates. mike, i think, has been a phenomenal partner in this administration. he has been someone who the president respects and trusts and listens to for his guidance, and they have really formed a great bond. i do not see any scenario whatsoever where the vice president would say i want to challenge donald trump the primary. ms. feldmann: it is 9:59. anyone have a quick one? >> can you talk about great america's role in the midterms? mr. lewandowski: the great american committee, the vice president's hard money political action committee, is designated to raise money and then reallocate that money to key congressional districts, senate races, and has funded a series of gubernatorial races. i think about chris sununu in new hampshire, mike dewine in ohio. raising money and putting it back into places through hard money donations to make sure the individuals who ar

if you look at what happened at that time -- and i should say, i worked for newt gingrich in the 1990's. i am a biased observer in all of this. but really changed is the sense that everything could change in the next election, so from day one, the minority party is working to regain control. the majority party is working to retain control. and neither of them is quite focused on the work of legislation. the thing about congress, unlike european parliament, for example, our congress is designed to create accommodation, to compel compromise, and not just to allow the majority party to have its way until it loses power, but to force the parties to work together somehow. when they are not focused on that but only on the next election, it is hard to do the core workout budget, legislation, and oversight. host: how do you feel about term limits? that: i am not a fan, and is because members need experience in the institution. it makes sense to allow members to build a better experience, the seniority, to allow it to matter. you do not constantly want new members. i see the argument for it. t

i remember it was in months of , under thethe house leadership of newt gingrich. we took the house and it was an amazing day. within months, i was present when a leader in the republican party was asked, are you now going to take up the cause of the unborn child? they said listen, i am pro-life. this is too controversial. it splits our base. its but the people. we can't touch this one. too controversial. leaders do not back away from those things which are so important to them because it is too controversial. if they do, the other side will make certain they make it too controversial. as the democrats did, you are in and you are out. why are we in this mess with immigration today? because democrats and republicans knew that if they raise the issue from which ever side, they would be called racist. on the other side, they would be for open borders. neither of which was a popular position. our brave leaders in washington did nothing. you're in and year out, 20 years of american people speaking up and talking about terrible consequences of the fact that washington wo

politics of personal destruction and the permanent campaign organized politics an as let's say newt gingrich is generally regarded as a formidable advocate of these things. politics changed at that time and it became difficult for the moderate republicans. so, you solve a senators start moving out and said we are not sure that we want to be here anymore. a whole number of them, 92, 94 or 96. so the politics change right around the '90s. george mitchell got out at the right time and left it for you to deal with. >> host: you use the term political as a campaign and i think that is in accurate description of what has happened. each of these triggered a devolution away from the experience to the political one where the consequences into the strategy became preeminent, was legislative and more political to the point that we have evolved to what you describe as a permanent campaign. maybe for the purpose of those listening let's talk a little bit about what is a permanent campaign and what are the ramifications as we look at the senate and the legislative responsibilities? >> it was praised by si

. >> we also have newt gingrich to axios sent this note. he said if mollie tibbetts is a household name by okay, democrats will be in deep trouble. what is your reaction to the thought process? do you support using mollie tibbetts as a strategy as we head into mid-terms? >> i think that innocence and guilt are individual in this country and not based upon any group and, therefore, i want to treat everybody as an individual, christi and this was ohorrific crime and of course the perpetrator should be brought to justice. but i do not want to paint with a broader brush. >> you don't want to do that, what do you make of fellow republicans who do want to make that as a strategy? >> i think we should reform our immigration laws. i was a republican who signed a discharge petition in the house to bring to the floor of the house, legislation regarding the daca population. that's a portion of all of. this i hope we can have immigration reform as quickly as possible. certainly, i want to secure our southern border. i do not think the two matters are m

jillian: newt gingrich says they should be focusing on the american people. >> we are in the middle of the two universe fight over the nature of america. the left would like paul manafort and all these other legal things to be the deciding issues in september and october. we want lowest black unemployment in american history, lois latino unemployment american history, over 4% real growth, wages going up. americans having conservative judges approved in record numbers. bad regulations being thrown out in record numbers. we went to have a debate in which our universe is universe of real accomplishment and their universe is a universe of essentially trying to block everything and i think if we communicate that correctly we will win by a huge margin. rob: in order to impeach the president democrats would have to flip 24 republican seats in the house in november and then still have a much tougher process remaining in the senate after that. not easy to do. a bombshell revelation that jurors in the paul manafort trial talked about the case before they were supposed to. one of the jurors comme

former speaker of the house newt gingrich is on deck and he will join us about that among other things just ahead. >> sandra: accusations from north korea days after secretary of state mike pompeo strip there was called off. what north korea said the u.s. is now preparing to do, plus this. >> is everybody out? where are they at? there inside? people are inside that are trapped. >> eric: look at that compelling and heart rendering tape at home was up in flames. the family is inside that house. coming up, the story of the heroic police officer, that's his body cam who ran straight into the flames to save that family. >> once he realized that they were kids and babies involved, he did what he had to do. this just takes it to a whole new level of respect and thankfulness for what they do. how can we say when you book direct at choicehotels.com you always get the lowest price on our rooms, guaranteed? let's say it in a really low voice. carl? lowest price, guaranteed. just stick with badda book. badda boom. book now at choicehotels.com until i held her. managing my type 2 diabetes wasn't my

you have a bunch of people in the republican party, newt gingrich, why are we spending this much moneyople worse and we could spend less money making people better. >> we invited beginni ed newt g the show to talk with you. he couldn't. >> what's interesting is both political party vs a reasies ha to be concerned. christian conservatives saying where is the liberals. on this issue of all issues there's common ground. >> a lot of common ground. i've times more african-americans are incarcerated than whites. you have 12% of the population is african-american. 33% of the prison population is african-american. yet, this could not, did not happen under the first black president in this country but may happen now. some would say is there an irony in that. what's your read? >> president barack obama, general holder did a lot of woshwork trying to make changes and did make some changes. some of those sessions rolled back. there was a bipartisan momentum to get.n it done and the clock n out. jared kushner, his father wents to prison so he understands this. he's built up a coalition of voices to

younger republicans, such as newt gingrich, who enters into office in 1978, argues there is no room to the democrats on this issue and claims that national security will be the issue through which control of the white house is won. carter shifts a bit in late 1978 to a more hawkish position on foreign policy, just as ford had done in 1975, but finally a series of crises in 1979 lead to the undoing of this idea. on june 18, 1979, carter meets with brezhnev in vienna and signs a s.a.l.t. ii agreement, despite all the opposition to the agreement back in the united states, that would further cut into the nuclear arms arsenal. and during the ceremony, this quick moment happened that became the focus of a lot of conservative attack. [ applause ] >> that kiss would be featured in a lot of campaign ads and photographs as a symbol of the president not understanding the adversary who the u.s. was dealing with. a much bigger crisis unfolds when iranian students and revolutionaries take american hostages -- take american diplomats hostage in november of 1979. the troubled history of u.s u.s./irani

. >> you know what newt gingrich said. he said if her name is news by october democrats will be in trouble. if we can be blocked by manafort, cohen, et cetera, g.o.p. could lose the house badly. that's a talking point, don't you think? >> it's more proof of the obvious, my brother. people want to divide. diversity is the strength of this place. our interconnected nlsz has always won out. >> i'll see you tomorrow. you're in tomorrow, right? >> yes, sir. >> thank you, chris. this is cnn tonight. i'm don lemon. the white house is reeling in the wake of what may have been the worst day of the trump presidency so far. ok? former trump campaign chairman manfort in jail awaiting sentencing on eight counts of financial crimes that could put him behind bars for the rest of his life. the new york times reported that the president and rudy guiliani have discussed the fallout from a pardon. it comes as michael coen, trump's former fixer and keeper of secrets is out on a half million dollars bond after his charges, over breaking campai

we'll hear from newt gingrich and others. they all recently wrote books on the trump administration. you can find book to be in prime time all week on c-span2. . . >> righties of washington world that was. you were the president on air about the and yet here was ritchie about to come into the day undefined and you have gone through a crisis of conscience where you set back to evaluate for yourself what am i doing here and how is this going. made a decision. walking through that and down that hall to the oval office to have that conversation with the president. >> let me back it up. i grew up in a small town in rhode island which is not the hotbed of republican activity. we were close knit family but not political. so for me this journey to get to the white house for the american dream i got involved in politics i got involved locally and then i came to washington d.c. to get a job on capitol hill i never thought it would be possible the r&d plays a supporting role and here i was being asked to be press secretary. it was a dre

talking about mollie tibbett's murder came yesterday from former republican speaker of the house, newt gingrich, who was tntacting various news outlets, asking them to cov tragedy. in an email to axios, gingrich wrote: "if mollie tibbetts is a household name by october, democrats will be in dp trouble.ca if wbe blocked by manafort, cohen, etc., then g.o.p could lose badly." for the pbs newshour, i'm william brangham. dr >> wf: stay with us, coming up on the newshour: making are reinvesting in their own stocks. and renewed attentio minority casting in hollywood sparked byhe blockbuster hit "crazy rich asians." but first, today saw another esslation in president trum trade war with china, with the united states imposing 25% tariffs on nearly 300 more chinese goods; beijing responded immediately. many of the u.s. tarif target china's hi-tech industries, part of the "made in china 2025" initiative, which aims to transform china from theorld's factory into a global innovation leader. as special correspondent katrina yu reports, the plan's critics say it harms american companies and the international

. >> you know what newt gingrich said.

he just knocks them down and gets things done, and you know, he took on newt gingrich. he threw a party for silvio conti. my dad was very bipartisan. he believed very much in the institution as opposed to the political party. and so a lot of memories i have of my dad was teaching my dads, working closely with chuck schumer. he saved a hospital about to close on staten island, as a freshman member, because he didn't know any better. he wasn't supposed to be able to have that kind of clout and figure things out. those are the memorys are i have of my dad. he didn't walk around them, he took them down, and still does. >> why did you decide to run for congress in 1990? >> i was in the new york city council. that was my first elected office. it was an opportunity that came up, because i was always with my father and raised. you grow up in my family and go to a republican convention. and they say, you know, guy molinari, who is going to nominate guy molinari? my dad would say, my daughter. i learned to speak publicly before i knew i was supposed to be afraid of it. it is just

it was people like newt gingrich and others who demonized barack obama and in some cases supported the donald trumps amendment. i think that is all a major factor that's involved. it's really hard to imagine and measure the rank-and-file. i just have to go on anecdotal evidence i come from a white working class background i grew up in north jersey if my accent hasn't given it away yet. i know a lot of white working-class evangelicals who voted for trump and largely because of race. race is one factor, abortion and those kind of things are a dominant part of it, too. i try to suggest this. there is a long history of racism within american evangelicalism both southern and northern. christianity today, and even billy graham this came out a lot during billy graham's off heads and things that were written. some i think were unfair to his legacy and others fared pretty good. but there's a famous pictures of him with martin luther king that gets purveyed out there. he desegregated his revival meetings and so forth, but he was never a strong advocate. he was kind of natural and of course racis

clinton benefitted not just from a good economy but by the unpopularity of his enemies, notably newt gingrichs seats, gingrich times man of the year resigns speakership and now apparently now forgotten by history bob livingston was going to be the successor and what happens to him, lo and behold he's got to resign from congress because of extra marital complexities. the difference at this point, obviously, was that we don't know what mueller knows. we have no clue. we are just guessing. at some point in that fall we knew exactly what ken starr had in that report steve spoke about of 18 boxes of documents which he unloaded on the house judiciary committee. >> steve, some national republicans are saying they should market the mid-terms. even though you're voting on your local member of congress, if you don't want impeachment elect republicans to congress. the dems, of course, can't do to the opposite and advertise the opposite. >> and that's why the democrats have been so hesitant. in part it's the example of '98. a big difference bill clinton was broadly popular in '98. trump is not broadly po

newt gingrich was not popular. >> how about race as a factor in the midterms?outing his approval rating with blacks in the country. is there proof to support that notion? >> yes and no. i think the president sometimes pumps up the polls shows support of the african-american community which -- that is not polling we use. if you look at the live interview polls and pew research center. he is at 14%. that is still really low. if you compare to the percentage of the vote he got in 2016. the exit polls, 8%. pew's research. 6%. there is a bit of a rise. it is interesting to see when you compare to the other racial and ethnic groups. their numbers are lower than in 2016. >> is it the economy? do voters believe his cheerleader on the economy? the african-american unemployment records are low because of me statement? >> that is a good explanation. a lot of us hear the statements that donald trump make and say there is no way he has a rise with african-american voters. they seem to respond to something. to me, the fact the economy is doing well to be the cause. >> sugges

and newt gingrich said essentially if mollie's name becomes a household name, that will help republicansresident uses these racial wedge issues to excite his base and get them excited about voting for republicans. and i think that is a really sad state of affairs because what happened to mollie is tragic. certainly the court system is going to kick into gear and hopefully there will be justice in terms of trying to hold the person allegedly responsible accountable for this crime. but i would also say this. neil wilson is also an american who was killed tragically for no apparent reason in oakland, california recently. a black teenager. and there wasn't the same amount of coverage. >> by an undocumented immigrant? >> no, but allegedly by a white supremacist. so that's a different type of crime, but you didn't hear anything from the president. you didn't see anybody out talking about it in terms of it being a crisis we needed to solve immediately. but white supremacist violence is up while undocumented immigrants commit fewer crimes than united states citizens. so that's just the context f
