caller: good morning steve and morning newt gingrich. i'm not sure where to begin but i would like a few minutes to counter some of what mr. gingrich is saying. i believe first, either he is a historian, a previous speaker of the house, and i hate to say, maybe a shill of the republican party. he talks about that we restricted travel, the president restricted travel. however it is documented that 40,000 people from china still entered the united states as tourists or business people. coming into america. then, he talks about the 100,000 chinese working in italy, which is true. but, he doesn't talk about -- it's obvious that europe has the disease. he said italy locks down its country and did the right thing and fines violators for walking the streets. but then, he says potus did the right thing by giving control to the governors. that will prolong the but destruction of our economy. that well. then, he says the right thing to do is containment, not mitigation. through all of this, if we do not have testing, contact tracing, and containmen

former house speaker newt gingrich will give us his take next.use i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. once weekly trulicity is for type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. it starts acting from the first dose. and it lowers risk of heart attack, stroke, or death in people with known heart disease or multiple risk factors. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, changes in vision, or diabetic retinopathy. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with sulfonylurea or insulin raises low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain, and decreased appetite, which lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. i have it

newt gingrich would know.ald trump, we thought he was a businessman, he could bring people together, he has been the opposite in so many ways. in the way he talks about people, the country, how divisive he is. it is not about his policies. i think the way he handles himself, the way she talks -- i have never seen more friends not friends anymore because of this man. point, new get -- newt gingrich and the conservatives attacked the media so much, it concerns me long-term that way we need the media taken to -- when we need to media to communicate, they undermine one of the foundations of this country which is having a good media. every network has good ones and bad ones we can go through and figure out. is thea that the media evil person, the enemy of the country, which newt played into, i think it is dangerous. i think folks who are as smart as newt should stop this and say, do your research, do your homework, but don't attack every media source as if they are the enemy of the state. host: thank you. i won't s

joining me now, fox news contributor and former speaker of the house newt gingrich. rich, what have you observed on testing and what do you think about the united states? what should we be doing to try to get out of this? >> well, living in rome where i have been with callisto while she is the ambassador, watching the italians deal with an absolute catastrophe, it is clear that the earlier you can do universal testing, the better off you are. with president trump leadership, we have come a long way from where we were back in january when the center for disease control bureaucracy just plain failed. they lost at least three weeks with the wrong capabilities. so we're getting there. we are now bringing them online at an amazing speed. i think we will be doing at least a million tests a week. my point is, when you look ahead, you start thinking about what's going to happen if we have a second wave, as dr. fauci and others have suggested in september, october, november. we need to be fully prepared and tested that we can drown the virus in information, know exactly who is

voice answer and on the other hand, so, he wasn't let's put it this way, let's compare him to newt gingrich. the two entered congress the same year, gingrich was a screamer, cheney was not a screamer. but, they had their voting records were very much the same. and actually cheney got so frustrated, we think that someone with a deep voice, we sound so reasonable it must be moderate, cheney actually instructed one of his aides on the hill, will you call the washington post and stop calling me a moderate. i'm a conservative. i have a conservative voting record. how did they get me wrong? well, you cheney didn't change, and he didn't, the times and the issues did. one of the main things that change between the two bush administration is the times and the issues in ways that create distance between cheney and powell. in that i have explored in the book. in that decade of the '90s, overseas america seems all-powerful. china is not yet a rising power, soviet, rush of the former soviet union as a decline in power, there is no competitor for the united states to worry about and you really get to dif

remember though the stated concern that barack obama was raising debt, the tea party opposition, the newt gingrichthat claimed to care about a democratic president, bill clinton, and his spending. we had to balance the budget. i mean, we lived through. this let me read to you something for your analysis from mick mulvaney of all people. quote, my party is interested in deficits when there's a democrat in the white house. the worst thing in the whole thing is deficits when barack obama was the president. then trump became president, we're a lot less interested as a party. paul? >> yeah. they were complete hypocrites, in fact i told you that after in column after column all through the obama years. this was a complete fraud from the beginning. nobody in the republican party actually cared about deficits. >> do you think that there's a space between economics, journalism and whatever the debate is to then do something about that? i mean, do you view the tea party as having been less than an honest movement? >> well, look, the tea party was never about deficits. if you back to -- go back to the beginn

there was a new republican majority in congress led my newt gingrich that was out for the atf hide and waiting for something to happen to give them an excuse to say, we're abolishing the agency completely. so they were very scared of putting a foot wrong. as it so happened they were looking at a man from tulsa by the name of dennis mahon, had gone to germany and participated in flag burnings and they suspected he had been involved in a lot of criminal activity. so they put an undercover informant on to him and, an attractive young debutante and had a swastika tattooed on her left shoulder and they took her to the city and she spent a long time there in the fall of '94 and started hearing people talking openly about possibility blowing up federal buildings and war against the government and mass shootings and so on and so on. what was the atf response to this. they should have gone to the fbi and said we don't have the operational capacity to deal with this but you should know about this. this finally gives us grounds to open a proper investigation and let's see what we could find out.
