this is what newt gingrich did in 2012. frankly, it's easier to do on the republican side because of the monetizing of republican and conservative political celebrity thanks to fox news and lots of scammy right-wing media outlets in this country. that's part of the reason why republican presidential fields are so big these days. i defy you to tell me what the job is of rick santorum. what is his job other than running for president? what's herman cain's job? what's michele bachmann's job? what's mike huckabee's job? they're all either making a living running for president, or they're making a living thereafter off the fact that they did run for president once and therefore you've heard of them. it's a racket. the real question for the country -- that's a question for the conservative movement and the republican party and conservative media, right? like what have we created? a weird system of incentives where people appear to run for office, but mostly they run for office as a job because it helps them make merchandising mon

we will begin with former house speaker newt gingrich. he interviewed him on donald trump's candidacy, the state of the republican party, and whether he would be a vice president if asked. after that, a look at potential vice presidential candidates for hillary clinton. elizabeth warren talked about her career and establishing a protection bureau. then, at a democratic fundraiser earlier this year. with the to speed washington post political reporter. host: joining us from the newsroom is chris cillizza, the founder of the fix and a political writer very thank you for being here with us on c-span. chris: thank you. host: as we look at the nominees, let me begin with five candidates that you say donald trump would never select as his running mate's. who are they? your: ted cruz i think is best. the gun finished second to donald trump in this race, someone who is clinical in the way donald trump says he wants his pick to be but someone who is young. ted cruz is in his 40's, and also very interested in lynching -- hitching his wagon. ted cru

elites like newt gingrich. >> liberal media has also done it. where were these guys when the inspect oaor general report was put out on hillary clinton, that is a very devastating report, that gets very little coverage in media, none by these republican elites. lou: you look at that inspector general report, it is as devastating as you could have imagined. there is very little attention paid to it except you know in certain parts of media. we've covered it here, your reaction to it. >> my reaction to it was that it read more like an indictment than it did a report. it was systematically rebutting almost every one of the things that hillary clinton has used for an explanation. lou: i want to turn to david french, the writer, attorney for the national review that bill crystal in his judgment cofounder of weekly standard, trotted out, at least on social media and various other places, as his third party candidate. which he declined graciously over the weekend. what kind of foolishness is this? and how broad is this the bill crystal madness in? is h

you heard newt gingrich say it. they are trying to move in trump's direction. they are locking up the nomination to use the time to build the case against hillary clinton and to bring this party behind him. he seems to be squandering the opportunity by these outbursts that come that are out of phase with the idea of unifying the party and making him an appealing character to a larger base. >> as we have been saying this week marks an unofficial start to the general election campaign with clinton turning her full fire on trump and trump firing back. here is a taste. >> i will leave it to the psychiatrist to explain his affection for tyrantyrants. >> do you believe hillary is presidential? this is not presidential material. >> who got the better of round one, chuck? >> wow, i think the press. we'll have a heck of a campaign to cover. listening to hillary's speech which was an extended attack on his fitness for commander in chief. it was effective in reminding people concerned about those things about those things. jeb bush tried to same tack. he labeled him the c

newt gingrich will swrojoin us just a minute. you won't believe what was caught on video at a trump protest. trump is holding a rally in sacramento, california. let's listen in. >> you know, four words, we're going to win in the north, south, east, and west. oh, boy. so insincere. number one, and i'll copy bernie because bernie's good with this. if i say it, they say, it's too rough. she's not qualified because she has bad judgment. now, who said that? bernie sanders said it about hillary. she's not qualified. so here is seven points that i marked down which i think are important and they talk about hillary and her incompetence. she's one of the worst secretaries of state in the history of our country. now she wants to be our president. look, i'll be honest. she has no natural talents to be president. this is not a president. they talk about me, actually a lot of people think i look extremely presidential. but -- but do you really believe that hillary is presidential? this is not presidential material. her libya invasion -- the l

newt gingrich was thought to be on the short list to be trump's vice president potentially. he was speaking with the campaign regularly, if not every day, according to some reports. and he's out there now saying that the only person who can beat donald trump is donald trump because he's unpredictable and he overstepped his boundaries with this. it's really significant. we see republicans even who have supported donald trump coming out and saying he crossed a line and donald trump not conceding that he did so. >> mark, you and i have covered politics and presidential campaigns for a long time. it's unusual for the candidate himself to get on a conference call and give the instructions, the talking points, usually the staff does that. >> yeah, it does. we have come to this new level of micromanaging from the principal in this case, donald trump, where he wants to be involved in every decision. we've seen this in past campaigns and senate campaigns, to some extent, presidential campaigns. we've never seen it to this degree, though. when somebody is so involved in every bit of t

joining me now to kiss discuss the fall out is newt gingrich, a possible trump running mate. there are parallels between brexit and the campaign in the u.s. that was a vote about a bureaucracy in brussels. also the number of minority voters is twice as high. about 25% versus 13% in this country as opposed to great britain. aren't there big differences? >> there are big differences the week before in turin and rome, reform candidates from a new party founded by a comedian, first woman elected in the history of rome in hundreds of years. the sense that there is a wave building against the establishment is real. i wouldn't overstate it. frankly you indicated one of trump's great challenges. he has to be as peck if he can tif in reaching out to you will a americans as to white americans. if he becomes that effective there is no reason to believe mothers on the south side of chicago are happy with the murder rate. they have never had a republican talk to them about it, show they cared. there is no reason to believe people in baltimore are happy with the murder rate. a trump who de

but one of the interesting criticisms has come from newt gingrich. this seems to have stung donald trump. he talked about it privately on this call. his campaign aides said he was disappointed to see gingrich come out and say donald trump has gone too far. this is the kind of thing that could really muddy the waters because gingrich is someone we've been talking about as a potential v.p. pick for trump. we kn >> lindsey graham saying this is the most unamerican thing from a politician since joe mccarthy, that is some stinging criticism there. is there anyone we haven't heard from? >> reporter: we have not heard yet from new jersey governor chris chris tir, which is very interesting because he's a former u.s. attorney. he's of course been a very prominent booster of trump. he was one of the first really prominent republicans to throw his support behind donald trump early when people were still fighting through this hard fought primary. now he's supposed to be doing a press event tomorrow in new jersey, so we'll see if we hear something from him then w

so what does that mean for newt gingrich and bob corker who both criticized him but newt gingrich taking it on, are they now on the hit list? >> reporter: we're going to have to wait and see. donald trump told us this morning on "fox & friends" said it was completely inappropriate for newt gingrich to say that his comments were inappropriate. i don't know if this takes bob corker potentially off the vp list or newt gingrich potentially off the vp list. if it does, that list is certainly shrinking by the moment. i've been told by sources it's hard to hire for this campaign because many of the top level people don't want to work with this campaign because they believe what they do behind the scenes, ultimately donald trump will come out and say what he wants to say. i should say what donald trump has been saying about our reporting on judge curiel and what's going on in the campaign today. he's been tweeting about it saying that he's getting bad marks from certain pundits because i have a small campaign staff, but he says small is good. flexible, save money, and they're number one. he's al

. >> former house speaker newt gingrich on the latest controversies and violent protests at trump rallies. >>> plus house speaker paul ryan finally backs trump. >> my goal is to make sure that we're unified so that we can actually win the election. >> we'll ask our sunday group if his endorsement matters and about the continued conservative push for a trump alternative. all right now on "fox news sunday." >>> and hello again from fox news in washington. the november election still five months away and we won't have official party nominees until the national conventions in july, but forget the formalities because the general election battle between donald trump and hillary clinton is on. in a few minutes we'll talk with one of trump's top supporters, potential running mate and former house speaker newt gingrich, but first clinton is looking to wrap up her primary battle with bernie sanders with a victory in california's primary tuesday. this weekend i spoke with the head of the clinton campaign, john podesta. >> john, how important is california? if bernie sanders wins there, doesn't he ha

presidential campaign is newt gingrich, a possible trump running mate. welcome back to fox news sunday. >> it's good to be with you. >> donald trump is drawing parallels between brexit and his campaign here in the u.s. but that was a vote about a bureaucracy in brussels. not a choice between two candidates. also, the number of minority voters is twice as high, about 25% versus 13% in this country as opposed to great britain. aren't there big differences? >> i would point out the week before in rome, reform candidates from a new party founded by a comedian won -- the first woman elected in the history of rome won with 65% against all of the traditional parties. the sense that there's this wave building against the establishment is real. now, i wouldn't overstate it. frankly, you indicated one of trump's great challenges. he has to find a way to be as effective in reaching out to all americans as he is in reaching out to white americans. if he becomes that effective, there's no reason to believe that mothers in chicago are happy with the murder rate. it's

mark: the democrats would be afraid of newt gingrich, when they -- wouldn't they? i served with him. he is a smart guy. fred is probably right about the kind of need that donald trump appeared -- donald trump has. john: we asked about potential running mates for

newt gingrich, thank you, sir. >> thank you. lou: one veteran's navy training may have just saved his life. a former naval airuater, a navy -- aviator, a navy pilot, forced to tread water for more than 20 hours after he fell off his own fishing boat north of tampa, florida. and guess what? he didn't have a life jacket. guess what else? he's 61 years old. he was potted the next day -- spotted the next day, thank the lord, by a coast guard helicopter treading water for 20 hours. i'm telling you, whatever they trained him to do in the navy, he's a very fortunate fellow. he was airlifted to safety and help. the vet able to return home, no physical injuries. rule number one, by the way, for all mariners -- now, he was an aviator taking up boating -- but all mariners new or old, please do not get separated from your boat. >>> up next, the uss harry truman now in the eastern mediterranean where it is conducting airstrikes against islamic state targets. i take that up with ambassador john bolton here next. stay with us. ♪ ♪ lou: joi

odds makers have him number two after newt gingrich. adriana, let me ask you, i feel like lately marco rubio has been flipping and indecisive. there are some signs he might not even win the senate seat back. but they say democrats are more intimidated by him as the vp pick than anyone else. >> i think that's correct. i think if donald trump offered him the slot for vp and he accepted it, iwould be a tough ticket for hillary clinton to beat. he's young, he appeals to the latino community and women. it many a great contrast to donald trump and he can help unite the fractured gop. there are many marco rubio supporters within the party. he would be a strong choice for a potential vp pick. but we know he's considering newt gingrich so it remains to be seen. charles: i like newt personally. i think everyone including the president of the united states need somebody to push back against him. >> newt gingrich is a strong contender. he's somebody who's well liked throughout the party. he would make an excellent pick. considering the fact that he

in another time, newt gingrich was the republican rebel. we sat with the former speaker of the house and asked if there was a crisis in the party. newt gingrich: well, i think there's a really big, deep argument about the future of the party, but it's not much of a crisis, it's 80% or 90% of the party nationally versus 5% or 10% of the party in washington. so in the end, washington will lose and the country will win. sharyl: is trump, do you see, as part of the solution or part of the problem? newt: i don't know yet if he's a solution because we don't know how he's going to work out, but he certainly is a sign that the unhappiness in the country is so deep that trump made more sense than 16 other choices. there were a lot of really smart, competent people running for president. he beat all of them. something is happening out there and he resonates with something in the american people. the country wants somebody who's going to kick over the table. sharyl: do you agree that that's what they should get? newt: absolutely. i think the system is

a criticism from newt gingrich seems to be one that really stung donald trump. he talked about it privately and publicly on this call. he said he was disappointed to see gingrich come out and say that he muddied the water. he's a potential vp pick for donald trump. as we know, trump really prizes loyalty above all else. to see this kind of criticism coming from someone he felt was close to him, a supporter of him, seems to have really stung. >> lindsey graham said this is the most unamerican thing from a politician since joe mccarthy. >> we have not heard from governor chris christie, because he's a former u.s. attorney and a very prominent booster of trump and one of the first really prominent republicans to throw his support behind donald trump when people were fighting through had hard fought primary. he's supposed to be doing a precedent tomorrow in new jersey. we'll see when voters are heading to the polls. right now it's obvious silence in the mix. >> sara murray, thank you. i want to bring in scottie nell hughes, a supporter of donald trump, a political e

newt gingrich, stay right there. when we come back, this is coming up with newt right after the break. >> she voted for me before, and agents and her staff, at one time i saw her staff so afraid to tell her about a mistake that was made. >> newt gingrich reacts to our explosive interview with former secret service officer gary byrne. newt will weigh it on that. and also tonight and later, house select committee on benghazi released their report on the 2012 terror attack. one of the select committee members, congressman mike pompeo, and chris peronto, he's going to be here with reaction. he was one of the heroes that night. that and much more tired of re-dosing antacids? try duo fusion! new, two in one heartburn relief. the antacid goes to work in seconds... and the acid reducer lasts up to 12 hours in one chewable tablet. try new duo fusion. from the makers of zantac. >>> i feel so strongly that people need to know the real hillary clinton and how dangerous she is in her behavior. she is not a leader. she is not a le

host: speaker newt gingrich, thank you for your time. mr. gingrich: as always. we continue with our c-span coverage, and, chris, we turn to the democrats, and the choices that hillary clinton we movee to make once beyond tuesday, and senator elizabeth warren, the only female senator to endorse either hillary clinton or bernie sanders. >> yes, steve, put me on the skeptical cap. i do not think strategically and makes a ton of sense for hillary -- first and foremost, as you mentioned, the only female senator not to endorse former senator clinton, and i do not think their relationship is particularly warm. elizabeth warren has been critical of clinton for being late with equality and weight stagnation. sanders'sernie support has grown out of the elizabeth warren part of the party. if there was a gaping hole that needed to be sewn up. is that possible? sure. bernie sanders is still in the race. it could and badly. but at least today, it was liberals like bernie sanders, and it is not like if it is not him, it is no one. it would be like a hail mary. the relationship

i love vice president, newt gingrich. i think he made a mistake. >> because he spoke publicly against donald trump or -- >> frankly, i didn't read it. what he's saying is in essence what i'm saying. that the judge should be about the constitution and about individuals, not racial identity, which leads me to other republicans. and they're latching on the grandfather of slavery and the child of segregation and respectfully to carl, as somebody who worked for both ronald regan and jack kemp, this is a total alliance, a total sellout to the racial politics of the democratic party that have been going on since slavery. >> you're not talking about what donald trump said, identifying this guy as mexican, when in fact he's not, he's an american-born in indiana. isn't that identity politics? >> correct. anderson. i'm talking about it because this goes beyond trump university. it is a legal system where everyone is supposed to be judged by their skin color and ethnic heritage and donald trump is saying if that's the way you're goin

if newt gingrich has come out and said this is inexcusable. no excuse to cast dispersions on the integrity of a judge, a federal judge, simply because his parents are from mexico. where do you -- where does that end? if we substituted that thinking with black christian, jewish, woman, people would be up in arms. there's absolutely no excuse for that. does that mean by donald trump's logic the percentage of, which is quite large, percentage of mexican american border patrol agents are incapable of their duties as law enforcement officers along the border because they're mexican-american? it's so ridiculous, racist, not what this country stands for, and it should not be tolerated. >> how do you feel about what we hear right now? >> i don't think that donald trump is even conveying racism. he's searching for a motivation for why this judge is behaving the way he's behaving in this trial. this judge has unsealed documents -- >> why does it have to go to his heritage? that's the question being asked of -- >> in searching -- in searching for a motiv

we begin with former house speaker newt gingrich. we interviewed him on donald trump's candidacy, the state of the republican party, and if he would be vice president shall candidate if asked. after that, a look at the potential running mates for hillary clinton. gets a elizabeth warren commencement address talking about her career with the consumer financial protection bureau. then senator sherrod brown at a fundraiser earlier this year. we can up to >> joining us from the "washington post" news room is chris cillizza, the founder of the six and a political writer for the "post." thank you for joining us. >> thank you, steve. >> let me begin with five candidate you say donald trump who never he select as his running mate. who are they? e reason i put them on the list, is they don't need to do it. ted cruz is probably your best example. the guy who finished second to donald trump. but someone who is is young, ted cruz is in his 40's and probably very uninterested in latching his wagon to donald trump because in the event trump loses

caller: i'm going to go with newt gingrich. i want to say that i think -- i'm hoping that clinton takes elizabeth warren because every business in this country would definitely dump all the money to win. i think donald trump is going to win every state. i think he is going to win california. host: let's stick to the vice presidential discussion. why newt gingrich? caller: he is the one that impeached new gingrich. he knows the ins and outs of congress. it would be great to get all the legislation that trump once passed, so he would be a perfect wants passed, so he would be at perfect candidate -- a perfect candidate. a poll came out this morning saying clinton is 51%. abc givingpost and money to clinton, that about that that is about as perfect as you can get. host: there are some republicans who have taken themselves out of contention for the vice presidential stakes. marco rubio of florida, the former candidate. governor scott walker and john kasich of ohio also taking themselves out of the running. marco rubio was on face th

what do you think of the idea of newt gingrich as donald trump's running mate? fred: i think his strength is as the chairman of the board, the guy who gets out and gets to use the bully pulpit all over america. he needs someone who is an operating officer of that list. of course, i'm prejudice as well but i would say john kasich at the top of my list as someone who has proven he can get things done on both sides of the aisle while donnell is out being -- donald is out the donald. john: do you think he would pick the gig if you are offered it? fred: i don't think he would. i wish you would. we have not talked about it. i think he made his peace with his run for presidency and is happy to be back in ohio. mark: democrats would be completely afraid of newt gingrich got on the ticket. i think there would be six or seven marriages on that ticket. >> i agree with fred's characterization of newt. he is a very smart guy. i think fred is right about the kind of need donald trump has and it is unclear of newt gingrich would fit that role. mark: we asked about potential ru

i think it all really began with newt gingrich that criticized trump remarks over the weekend. donald trump isn't happy about that. take a listen. >> this is one of the worst mistakes trump has made. i think it is inexcusable. this is no longer the primaries. he is not longer an interesting contender. he is the potential leader of the united states. he has to move his game up to being level of potential leader. >> i was surprised at newt. i thought it was inappropriate what he said. i want to tipping out why i'm being treated so unfairly by a judge. a lot of people agree with it. charles: other notable critics of trump on issue, marco rubio, senator susan collins and john kasich, who is demanding apology. joining me, kristin tate, carl higby. you're a donald trump surrogate. trillion trump getting upset that you guys, surrogates, maybe notes pressing these issues hard enough. where do you stand? where does the trump campaign. >> he didn't get mad any anybody. donald trump is appreciative every single person. charles: not mad but angry about the facts not being put across correc

you see paul ryan and newt gingrich coming out against him. trump doesn't really back away from things, so it takes a lot for him to double down and they is wrong. >> thank you for your information, we appreciate it. >>> one school is banning trump hats. is joyick. no, i'm actually over at the ge booth. we're creating the operating system for industry. it's called predix. it's gonna change the way the world works. ok, i'm telling my brain to tell the drone to get you a copy of my resume. umm, maybe keep your hands on the controller. look out!! ohhhhhhhhhh... you know what, i'm just gonna email it to you. yeah that's probably safer. ok, cool. jay knows how to keep his nice shorts dad... they don make 'em in adult sizes? this is what the pros wear. look at the lines... uhhh... look at the other line... mm...mhh... that's why he starts his day with those two scoops... in deliciously heart healthy kellogg's raisin bran. ready to eat my dust? too bad i already filled up on raisins. by taking steps towards a healthy heart, jay knows he'll be ready f

joining us from washington, newt gingrich. so, before we get to the poll, you heard care kirsten and i debating. the brits voted emotionally. they don't like their culture is being overrun by the eu policy and same sentiments is present here in america. do you agree. >> yeah. i agree. in the case of britain, also enormous resentment against the brussels bureaucrats sort of comparable what you are getting outside of washington toward the washington bureaucrats. people had feeling they were literally losing control of our country which is exactly the sentiment you are getting here. >> why do they feel they are losing control of their country? because of influx of people that change the basic structure of neighborhoods? is that why? >> well, i think that's a piece of it i think a bigger piece there is that some 70% of the rules now issued in great britain are demanded by the brussels bureaucracy. and they have, in fact, there was a rule that they knew was coming that they had held off on that would have outlawed the traditional t

talk about people like newt gingrich this morning. paul ryan all denouncing the trump says. >> this is the case, a private case dealing with the trump organization and a private matter. it should be tried in the courts in front of the jury, not the media. the speculation is quite frankly free airtime in its media hype. dagen: healy, the issue is from a lot of donald trumps supporters, people in the republican party, why does he keep talking about it? it highlights a civil suit. the republicans as well talking about it, that he is getting his opponent ammunition to target him because he's keeping it in the news. >> i think there's a mr. trump did a round robin of sunday shows that aired yesterday. the fact of the matter is he clarified his position regarding the case. moving forward and at this point it should be tried in the core brand in front of a jury. that is everyone's right when going through the court. whether the plaintiff or the defendant. >> haley, the former attorney general for george w. bush, alberto gonzales, came out in

trump, former speaker of the house newt gingrich. here he was over the weekend. >> this is one of the worst mistakes trump has made, and i think it's inexcusable. he has every right to criticize a judge, and has every right to say certain decisions aren't right and his attorneys can file to move the venue from the judge. first of all, this judge was born in indiana. he is an american, period. when you come to america, you get to become an american. and trump, who has grandparents who came to the u.s. should understand this as much as anybody. second, to characterize, you know -- if a liberal were to attack justice clarence thomas on the grounds that he's black, we would all go crazy. every conservative would say it was wrong, and it was racism. and trump has got to, i think, move to a new level. this is no longer the primaries. he's no longer an interesting contender. he is now the potential leader of the united states and he's got to move his game up to the level of being a potential leader. >> you consider what this, he did here, r
