We are imperfect. But compared to any other society I'm aware of, we have a stronger system of

freedom, a greater capacity for people to rise, and a greater awareness that anybody can come from

anywhere and become an American.

The speaker, Gingrich, thanks so much for coming to the show. Really appreciate it. I'm delighted to be with you. You've had a remarkable run and are having a huge impact. Oh, thank you. That means a lot to me. So let's start with where you think we are politically. Obviously, where everybody's looking forward to 2020. So I'm going to ask for a little bit of rank political analysis here. Looking forward to 2020, where do you think that President Trump stands in terms of re-election

And I think the Democrats, my reading, which is different than I would have thought if we'd done this show two months ago, I think Biden is the probable nominee just by name ID and momentum, although Hillary was 30 points ahead of Obama just before the Iowa caucus in 2008.
