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.”

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Newt Gingrich. Audio sound bite number five. Newt was on NPR today, Morning Edition. By the way, I want to apologize to the staff. This is like the third day in a row that we've had a sound bite from NPR, and that means somebody is -- you turn on NPR and it's the hardest thing in the world not to fall asleep. And my staff even during the holidays performing yeoman duty. I mean, they watch CNN. They do screen MSNBC in case something that might survive the ban here, but now NPR. Newt was there...

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...

On his nationally syndicated radio show Wednesday, host Sean Hannity discussed with former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich the Left’s onslaught on Trump and his administration’s legitimacy, Gingrich explaining, “They’re facing the end of their way of life.” “We’re talking here about the end of their world,” said former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. “You know, Donald Trump is the real deal. He is the first decisive change since 1932, much bigger, much deeper than Ronald Reagan, and the Left knows it. And they’re facing, you know, they’re facing the end of their way of life.” Sound clip...

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)

illerson knows the world, knows how to make deals internationally and will be an extremely effective Sec of State.

"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...

I have heard the same 4 or 5 names being thrown around. Are we really that lacking in qualified people?! There must be hundreds Trump can consider! Would be better if from outside the beltway anyway. What is the deal?

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich expressed skepticism Tuesday at reports that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was the frontrunner to be President-elect Donald Trump's secretary of state. "I can think of 20 other people who would be more naturally compatible with the Trump vision of foreign policy," Gingrich told Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight." ...Gingrich added that his preferred choices for secretary of state over Romney included former Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl, former U.N. ambassador John Bolton, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Hewlett-Packard CEO and Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina.

Good evening, I’m still reporting on Trump Brings the Strongest Republican Party in History! Good afternoon, I’m still reporting on Trump.

WASHINGTON Mentioned as a possible pick to head the departments of State or Defense, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich won’t serve in the Trump administration, he confirmed to McClatchy on Thursday. “I will not be the cabinet,” Gingrich said, adding that “I intend to be focused on strategic planning.” Gingrich did not say whether the decision was his or whether his long ties to official Washington effectively disqualified him from joining President-elect Donald Trump’s administration.

The paper wrote stories that were unrelentingly hostile to Trump and his supporters... It published stories about Trump in which it distorted the accounts of interviewees, according to the subjects’ own testimony... And now the same publisher and the same editor that oversaw this partisan assault are promising to “rededicate” themselves to reporting “honestly”. Perhaps even the paper’s liberal readership has tired of reporting that increasingly resembles the state-controlled propaganda of totalitarian regimes... Does the Times have any reporters, editors, or columnists who will say they voted for Trump, and has it hired any new ones? Has it hired any...

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said Monday he wants to be a long-term strategic planner for President-elect Donald Trump in order to transform the country. Speaking on Fox News Monday, Gingrich said his thoughts are already on how to hand off a successful Trump administration to a Republican successor in January 2025. He wants to work in the administration in such a way that would help him focus the administration on that lofty goal. "It's not a very normal position but this is not going to be a very normal presidency," he said... "I probably bring a different...

Former Georgia congressman Newt Gingrich is sitting pretty today, a likely choice for a top position in President-elect Donald Trump’s administration. U.S. Secretary of State Gingrich, anybody? “I fully expect that Newt will get some type of very prominent position in the Trump administration,” Peake said Wednesday morning. “Who knows? There’s probably a handful of people who can name what they want and Newt would be on that short list. Larry Sabato, who runs the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, said Gingrich as secretary of state wouldn’t allow for many dull moments. “If I owned a China...

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich slammed Republicans who refused to back Donald Trump during the general election as "whiny, sniveling negative cowards" Wednesday night, less than 24 hours after Trump was elected president. "[A] Donald Trump [administration is] going to be among the most extraordinary, creative, inventive, exciting periods in all of American political history," Gingrich told Fox News' Sean Hannity on "Hannity". "Let [the 'Never Trump' movement] drift off into the ashbin of history while we go ahead and work with Donald Trump and with the House and Senate Republicans to create a dramatically new future."

Did Donald Trump’s acceptance speech preview who will surround him at the White House? Here’s a look at who he praised and who stood with him through all the campaign trials: * RNC chairman Reince Priebus * Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich * Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani * New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie * Sen. Jeff Sessions * Retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn * Retired Army Gen. J. Keith Kellogg Jr. * Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson

Now that Donald Trump has been elected the 45th president of the United States, the discussion among the punditry turns to who he may appoint to his cabinet. Should he award those who have been most loyal to him throughout his campaign, then we obviously need to look at former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Gov. Chris Christie, Newt Gingrich and Gen. Michael Flynn, and Dr. Ben Carson, all of whom have stood by Trump's side and have come to his defense time and again throughout the past several months. The Today Show Twitter account surmised Giuliani will eventually...
