Monday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said Madonna should be arrested for saying Saturday at the Women’s March in Washington D.C. that she wanted to blow up the White House. Gingrich said, “She is parallel to the young fascists who ran around town breaking windows, all of whom should be given the maximum sentence. He added, “What you have is an emerging left-wing fascism. She’s part of it. And I think we have to be prepared to protect ourselves. Frankly, the truth is she ought to be arrested for saying she...

Complete headline: 'Why would you abandon America?' Newt Gingrich says Democrats boycotting Trump's inaugural make themselves look 'small and silly' as their numbers grow to 65 The latest tally has 65 Democratic representatives saying they would participate in a boycott of Donald trump's inaugural – more than one-third of their caucus Senate Dems are not breaking with tradition despite differences with Trump Newt Gingrich, a former Republican Speaker of the House, said Ronald Reagan would have called them 'childish' He said the boycotters were 'small and silly' and doomed to remain a minority if they keep pandering to their far...

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is simply incompatible with the Trump era. President-elect Trump won as an entrepreneurial change agent who would "drain the swamp," get Washington under control, take charge of the bureaucracies, and get things done in an entrepreneurial, common sense way. The Congressional Budget Office is the opposite of these commitments. It is a left wing, corrupt, bureaucratic defender of big government, and liberalism. Its scoring of ObamaCare was not just wrong, it was clearly corrupt. CBO literally brought in the architect of ObamaCare to be the adviser on scoring the very ObamaCare legislation he helped write....

As tensions remain high between President-elect Donald Trump and the intelligence community over Russian election interference, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Sunday that Mr. Trump shouldn’t have a good relationship with the U.S. intelligence agencies right now. “I don’t think there should be a good relationship right now,” Gingrich told CBS’ “Face the Nation.”. “The very top people who are political appointees I think absolutely betrayed and undermined the intelligence community. I think they acted in ways that are totally inappropriate.” Gingrich was responding to questions about how Mr. Trump will be able to work with intelligence agencies after...

The White House has been examining a proposal by James Baker to launch a Middle East peace effort without Israel. The peace effort would begin with a U.S.-organized conference, dubbed Madrid-2, and contain such U.S. adversaries as Iran and Syria. Officials said Madrid-2 would be promoted as a forum to discuss Iraq's future, but actually focus on Arab demands for Israel to withdraw from territories captured in the 1967 war. They said Israel would not be invited to the conference. “As Baker sees this, the conference would provide a unique opportunity for the United States to strike a deal without...

When asked by ABC News what he feared the most about the incoming Trump administration, former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich said it was that “they would lose their nerve.” […] “Look, they’re going to arrive in Washington, and for them to be successful, they have to stake out positions that Donna [Brazile] will not like and the Left will hate,” Gingrich explained. “And my deepest concern is they’re going to arrive and you’re going to have the Greens going crazy over the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] and Interior [Department]. You’re going to have the government employees going crazy about...

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich praised the style and substance of Donald Trump’s suggestion for a new nuclear arms race, calling the president-elect’s use of Twitter to make major policy pronouncements “brilliant.” Gingrich, an informal Trump adviser, told “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace that the longstanding U.S. policy of reducing the number of its nuclear weapons has “failed.” He claimed that it has enabled former Cold War foes China, North Korea and Russia to rebuild or expand their capacities. “There are a number of steps [Russia is] taking to be a war-fighting capability,” Gingrich said. “We have to, candidly,...

The Democrats have been clutching onto Obama’s “legacy” like a lifeboat– that has a hole in it. Newt Gingrich is here to rip off the Band-Aid, saying, "It’s going to be like a balloon that deflates, the Obama legacy is going to be like this… down to a quarter or fifteen per cent of what he did." Video Most of Obama’s "legacy" that was mostly made up of disappointments, will be erased by Donald Trump within the first year of his Presidency. And while this may make a lot of liberal's cry, it’s nothing less than what Obama deserves. Because...

I goofed. Draining the swamp is in, @realDonaldTrump is going to do it, and the alligators should be worried. #DTS

There were two notable Trumpworld headlines Wednesday morning. One was the news that Corey Lewandowski — Donald Trump's former campaign manager who remained part of his inner circle long after leaving that job — had just opened a “full service government relations and consulting firm” half a block from the White House. The other was that the president-elect is apparently over “drain the swamp.”

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich predicted that most of President Obama's policies, and thus his legacy, will disappear within the next 12 months under the Trump administration. "What you're watching is a man who realizes all of a sudden 90 percent of his legacy is going to disappear, because he didn't do the hard work of passing legislation," Gingrich said on Fox News. {.. snip..}

Former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) said in a new interview that Donald Trump has taken a different tone as president-elect and may be leaving behind his campaign promise to “drain the swamp.” Gingrich told NPR's "Morning Edition" that he was told Trump “now says [the phrase] was cute, but he doesn’t want to use it anymore.” Gingrich, who has been a close adviser to Trump, said he likes "drain the swamp" because it “vividly illustrates the problem, because all people in this city who are the alligators are going to hate the swamp being drained.” “But, you know, he is...

Great speech by Newt Gingrich at the Heritage Foundation where he explains to the liberal media the phenomenal presidential win of Donald Trump. (Fun, instructive, and insightful - highly recommended)

Former House speaker weighs in on 'Fox & Friends'

"He's three different people," Gingrich said of the president-elect. "If you want to understand how Trump operates, he has the disruptive patterns of Andrew Jackson, he has the sheer biological energy of Theodore Roosevelt, and he has the compulsive salesmanship of P.T. Barnum. "And these three weave together to produce outcomes that are dramatically better than anyone I've ever seen." Gingrich noted that the Republican Party is now at a "watershed" moment in the life of the nation. "We are potentially, if we do our jobs, at a genuine watershed. I always use the watershed model because when the rain...

Newt Gingrich said Tuesday that President-elect Donald Trump’s biggest mistake since the election was his claiming without any evidence that millions of votes were illegally cast on Election Day. "The president of the United States can't randomly tweet without having somebody check it out," Gingrich, a vice chair on Trump's transition team, told USA Today’s Susan Page during an appearance on the Capital Download video series. “I mean it just— It makes you wonder about whatever else he's doing. It undermines much more than a single tweet." On Sunday, Trump falsely (sic) claimed that “millions” of people voted illegally, preventing...

Nobody was counting on this. Barack Obama infamously said that he would govern by a “pen and a phone.”  He has circumvented Congress and the laws for years. The Democrats (and much of the media, but I repeat myself) have not only given him a pass, but cheered him on. Now it appears a seldom-noticed law might be a powerful tool that Trump can use to eviscerate much of the Obama legacy. Stacy Cowley of the New York Times reports :Dozens of major regulations passed recently by the Obama administration — including far-reaching changes on health care, consumer protections and...

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Monday that he would prefer an advisory position to President-elect Donald Trump as opposed to a Cabinet post in the incoming administration. "I want to be the general planner, looking out over the next eight years and trying to design how we fundamentally reshape the federal government.." Gingrich declined to confirm a report that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was the favorite to be Trump's secretary of state, but did say that such an appointment would be "fabulous." "He’s already known worldwide, he is a great manager," Gingrich said of Giuliani, "and...

Gingrich has a great perspective on the history of the political environment in DC. He has had his problems in the past, but has tremendous input into how Trump will move forward. Trump will be on 60 Minutes tonight (Nov 13) and the small clip at the end gives a great preview of what to expect!

Newt Gingrich appeared on FNB’s Sunday Morning Futures with host Maria Bartiromo to discuss the Donald Trump economic platform, the transition, and the ongoing processes for the incoming President Trump administration. Bartiromo is a very sharp and intellectually honest lady in the world of economic discussion, specifically with perspective on domestic economics which has been her center of expertise since 1995. Maria has very keen economic perspectives on domestic issues.
