In the wake of the passage of the $1.9 trillion coronavirus stimulus package, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Friday predicted the Democrats will throw away their control of Congress with a “radical” budget agenda. Gingrich told Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom” that the Democrats “have clearly decided” they will “go for broke on a radical agenda.” He said this “almost certainly guarantees” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) will take over House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) role.

As Congress weighs to increase coronavirus stimulus checks to individuals from $600 to $2,000, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Tuesday joined President Donald Trump’s call to increase the payout in the coronavirus stimulus checks from $600 to $2,000. On FNC’s “Fox & Friends,” Gingrich acknowledged the importance of balancing the federal budget but said that middle-class Americans have been the “big losers” from the shutdowns put in place to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus, particularly in Democratic states. He added that $2,000 checks would “help” the average American struggling from the “mess” created by some governments.

In a Christmas Eve message about the state of affairs in the United States, Rev. Franklin Graham called on Americans to pray for President Donald Trump and for our nation, that God will spare us "from the evil that is before us." In the Dec. 24 post on Facebook, Graham wrote, "Our country is in such a mess politically and spiritually. I would like to ask you to especially pray for our nation and our president this weekend." Pray that God’s hand would be on President Donald J. Trump and protect him, and that He would give him wisdom in...

Tuesday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich sounded off on the prospect of President Donald Trump attending President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration after contesting the 2020 presidential election results over allegations of voter fraud. Gingrich told Hugh Hewitt, host of “The Hugh Hewitt Show,” that Trump needs to figure out which option between attending the inauguration or skipping it is better for his message. However, Gingrich said the outgoing president should “probably” end up going because it is the routine.

In an op-ed titled "Why I will not accept Joe Biden as president," former House Speaker Newt Gingrich writes that his unwillingness to accept the election results rises from an outrage he says he previously hasn't felt. Gingrich wrote that he'd been asked by a "smart friend of mine" why he couldn't accept Biden's win over President Trump. "As I thought about it, I realized my anger and fear were not narrowly focused on votes," Gingrich wrote in an Op-Ed published Monday in the Washington Times. "My unwillingness to relax and accept that the election was over grew out of...

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is going after attorneys Sidney Powell and Lin Wood after they encouraged Republicans not to vote in two upcoming Senate runoff elections in Georgia. Gingrich's comments come two weeks after Powell was removed from the Trump legal team. "Sidney Powell is practicing law on her own. She is not a member of the Trump Legal Team. She is also not a lawyer for the president in his personal capacity," Trump Campaign Attorney Rudy Giuliani and Senior Legal Adviser Jenna Ellis said at the time. During a rally in Georgia yesterday, Powell and Wood went after...

As speculation gyrates over whether or not Nancy Pelosi will be able to maintain her position as House speaker because of seats gained by Republicans during the 2020 election, former Speaker of the House and Fox News Contributor Newt Gingrich says that if Pelosi and a Biden administration prove to be so radical to be out of touch with the average American, they will be “wiped out” during the 2022 mid-terms. Appearing on Fox Business Wednesday morning, Gingrich explained that Pelosi is currently trying to manage both a left wing and moderate faction of the Democratic party that is at...

McCarrick correspondence confirms restrictions, speaks to Wuerl and China ROME - Correspondence obtained by Crux from an ex-aide to Theodore McCarrick, the former cardinal laicized over charges of sexual misconduct and abuse, confirms that restrictions on McCarrick were imposed by the Vatican in 2008. McCarrick also claims that Cardinal Donald Wuerl, then the Archbishop of Washington, was aware of them and involved in conversations about their implementation.Though the details of those restrictions have never been made public, the correspondence shows McCarrick promising not to travel without express Vatican permission and to resign from all roles at the Vatican and within...

There is something obscene and repulsive about American businesses having to board up store windows on the eve of an election because they know their government cannot protect them from anti-American barbarians and thugs. And there is something un-American about mobs going into neighborhoods and restaurants to intimidate innocent citizens. President Donald Trump should respond to the vicious, destructive and lawless mob precisely as President Abraham Lincoln did. Consider how deeply Lincoln understood the importance of enforcing the law and providing safety and order - and the obligation of the government to use force when necessary. President Lincoln understood mob...

“I saw today the first electoral college map that made sense to me and it showed Trump at 326 electoral votes plus,” Gingrich said. “I think that is probably about right. I think the left is going to be terribly shocked.” WATCH CLIP....

In a Monday appearance on FNC’s “Fox & Friends,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich laid out what President Donald Trump should focus on in his final push for reelection. Gingrich advised Trump to emphasize that the United States’ response to the coronavirus pandemic has worked better than other nations’ handling of the virus, how his economy will outperform Biden’s, and the “corruption” seen from Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his family. According to Gingrich, if Trump fixates on those three key points, “he will win a surprisingly big reelection.”

Melissa Francis is off the air and her status at Fox News is in doubt Melissa Francis, regularly seen on the popular Fox News midday talk show “Outnumbered,” has been off the air for two weeks and is probably at the end of her six-year run at the network, according to people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to comment and requested anonymity. Francis, 47 has not been seen on the program since Oct. 7. A Fox News representative did not comment on her status, saying only that she is still an employee and its daytime programming is...

Anyone who still doubts that the elite media is out to destroy President Trump should watch his NBC town hall from Thursday night. Savannah Guthrie, who moderated the event in Miami, was so hostile and irritating, it was really unbearable to watch her at times. She didn’t even pretend to be an objective journalist. In stark contrast, President Trump was so calm, steady, and positive. It was one of his best performances. Indeed, he was presidential, not just a candidate seeking office. And despite — or perhaps because of — Guthrie’s almost maniacal hostility, President Trump’s composure should be encouraging...

It seems there is suddenly a movement in media to silence anyone who speaks out against George Soros—and, specifically, his funding of radical prosecutors seeking to change the criminal justice system by simply ignoring certain crimes. This happened to me personally this week while I was being interviewed on Fox’s Outnumbered. When I brought up Soros’s plan to get pro-criminal, anti-police prosecutors elected across the country, two of the show’s participants interrupted me and forcefully asserted that Soros was not involved. ... Soros’s plan to elect these prosecutors has been well documented ... There are plenty of specific examples of...

by Joe Callen The FOX News panel on Outnumbered Overtime melted down on Wednesday after former Speaker Newt Gingrich accused George Soros of funding radical, lawless district attorneys across the country today. Even though it's 100% true. Many of these radical activist prosecutors are allowing the riots and vandalism in their communities. This is a fact. The Los Angeles Times even had a 4,000-word article on the Soros-funded campaign to replace District Attorneys with radical leftists from coast-to-coast. But when Gingrich brought it up, it was as if someone at Hogwarts brought up Voldemort. The panel did not like...

As someone who has been watching conventions since 1956, I think this was the most historically effective convention of my lifetime. Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel deserves a lot of credit for organizing, managing and presiding over an amazingly complex operation. The Republican National Convention simply dwarfed the Democrats’ convention in scale, complexity and people participation. The range of people, the emotional power of individual stories, and the consistent small interventions by the president during the first three days were incredibly effective. The weaving together of past achievements, historic American values, a bold exciting future, and the impossible radicalism of Joe Biden...

We have a president who is bold and keeps his word For weeks people have asked me what President Donald Trump’s agenda for a second term would be. I know the White House team led by Brooke Rollins had been developing such an agenda for months. Finally, this last weekend the Trump campaign released a comprehensive agenda covering 50 major commitments toward a better future. In 2015, Callista and I had been part of a meeting in which then-candidate Trump committed to releasing a list of potential U.S. Supreme Court justices (something he is challenging Joe Biden to do this...

The chances of President Trump getting reelected in November are looking extremely good, Newt Gingrich said Saturday night. "I'm predicting that it will be a dramatically bigger victory than people currently expect," the former House speaker from Georgia said during an appearance on Fox News' "Watters' World." A Trump victory is "beginning to build," Gingrich added.

We are watching a fascinating, bold and audacious effort by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. to steal the U.S. Senate seat in Kansas. While Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., is retiring after four terms, this would normally be a safe Republican seat. In fact, no Democrat has won a U.S. Senate seat from Kansas since 1932. This 82-year record of Republican senators (since the election of Sen. Clyde Reed in 1938) is the longest of any state in the country. The Democrats are running State Senator Barbara Bollier, a Republican-turned-Democrat. She would normally be expected to run a good race,...

Gingrich on Hannity tonight. "This is the most imporant election since Lincoln. If Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer get control of the US government it will be a disaster.
