your reaction. >> as usual, newt gingrich is right. i think one reason the government is finally admitting that covid originated in the lab in wuhan is because of the work we've done on the oversight committee and select committee with respect to identifying not only those people that were on the phone call, but any government employee that had anything to do with the wuhan lab either in funding gain-of-function research to there. grants, whatever. we identified 40 employees, lower level employees that had some type of knowledge of what was going on in that wuhan lab and told them we wanted them to come for interviews and also identified a long time ago before we flipped the house that phone call happened and all of dr. fauci's early pandemic advisors said it is a lab leak because that's what we're doing at the wuhan lab. we're researching covid viruses. obviously if it start evidence in wuhan, china, it started at the lab but dr. fauci had a conference call and from that point on they never emailed again and basically went along with

had stuck it out would have been, on the other hand, i don't think he too liked it at all with newt gingrich, conservative republicans running the show, not any sort of really blending of liberals and moderates. and i think that jimmy and i, we're talking that's what's missing in politics today. it was a different day then. and i think barbour was at the end of one and i was at the beginning another and jimmy was on that same that same cycle the day of the republican districts in the northeast being solid, safe and $50 are gone, i meanwhile, the days of not being in the south or here, that was very hard for bob to take, pick it up in the book. he wasn't entirely excited by conservatives evidently had a real run in with conservatives in the book and new york and he really he i think he was i don't know he just didn't get together well with him. i never that i'll read the book with the republicans i knew on the republican side and on the committee barbara, have been more collegial, more friendly and more cooperative. but the fact remains that i'm here. i thought never come back to washington a

a lot of people would blame newt gingrich, who made the famous statement that the problem with republicans that we haven't been nasty enough. and then took over the house of representatives and and displayed a breed nastiness that spread from the house to the senate and was encouraged by the advent of rush limbaugh and by nixon's old production manager, roger ailes, over fox news and transforming the political climate. and that, of course, leads to today's knee jerk trigger finger trigger happy happy social media atmosphere. you're behavior that that in many ways has that political leaders. well first of all they have to they have to raise so much money that they're on the phone all the time with donors. but the thing they want is to be able to go home and find that fox news or rush limbaugh, before he died, had whipped up the base against them and that is like against the the ted kennedy rules of rules of politics. he would have found, i think, some way to deal with it. he was a smart guy. he would have had smart guys around. but when it started and those acolytes started going over from

newt gingrich came in with bob dole and they forceded bill clinton to have that conversation and came to a compromise that brought us that. i don't think i've had anybody call him soft. some would call them rhinos now because anybody that disagrees with donald trump is a rhino. it's something that we've got to confront because 12, 13 years from now the idea of that going bankrupt for the people who really needed is unthinkable, people who need it as a safety net so all those should be on the table to discuss. i know president biden said no discussion of any change to social security. there's other things we've got to deal with in the budget but you asked about social security and i'm going to tell you thes truth, the truth is it's going oto run out. anybody that tells you differently is lying to you or to bee more delicate, negotiatig the truth with you. so we have to come to grips with it. he came to a compromise with tip o'neill and bill clinton were able to do it we have these leaders who were willing to work with each other again not who were just going to scream and yell at each

supported what the president wanted to do even when the president was bill clinton and the speaker was newt gingrich look at desantis' statement, kevin mccarthy's statement i'd be very surprised if they took the position of trump yeah, whether they were that extreme and say, oh, this war will be over in 24 hours, which means, of course, donald trump would do what we all know he'd do betray the freedom fighters in ukraine and side with vladimir putin. >> correct. >> like he always does. >> 100%. >> did he say he was brilliant savvy? >> okay. >> he called the invasion beautiful. >> moving on. >>> the biden administration is demanding tiktok's chinese owners sell their stakes in the app, or else the u.s. may ban it completely that's according to sources cited by "the wall street journal. the popular video sharingapp i owned by a beijing-based company. many believe it poses a national security risk. i don't know when this is going to come to a head. i keep trying to get it off my phone, and then someone sends me a tiktok video doesn't that put it back on your phone? i don't understand it. >> only if you
