First up today in the interview show we talked with former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich how things were different when he was running the house of representatives and Bill Clinton was in charge was a different time.

We talked about his new book defeating big government socialism and he has an amazing amazing plan to take back the house I really enjoyed this interview. Check this out.

Honored to welcome to the show. Former speaker of the house and a great Republican Mr. Newt Gingrich Mr. Speaker thanks for joining us we appreciate.

I'm delighted I love watching you on the Fox and the late chance to be on your show. Well thank you you have a new book out we're going to get to call defeating big government socialism certainly a topic.

I'm interested in now when I get to that just a couple questions for you I mean nobody's a study the political scene in greater detail that you and lived it.

About the current political scene now this trip Joe Biden took our president over to Saudi Arabia Mr. Speaker was a total disaster I mean a flop on every front and I make the case to you I'd love to hear your opinion that it was actually counterproductive we he was better off doing nothing at all the Iranians after he came back are now claiming they have the material to make a bomb.

Gas and oil prices still going up the Saudis have said we're going to leave it up to OPEC basically kissing the butt of the Russians. We have Joe Biden calling one of the Saudi ministers a liar about claiming he brought up Kishoggi I mean this was just not only not good but it was just a genuinely bad experience for the United States.

I think that's right I think that from the first of all the very idea that if you have a gas and oil problem instead of going to Texas or North Dakota or Western Pennsylvania you go to Saudi Arabia should tell you everything you need to know second they have followed consistently John Kerry strategy when he was Secretary of State of selling out to the Iranians the Iranians know it they know how weak Biden.

And they are worthlessly taking advantage of it and third the Saudis that just have to regard him with contempt is the guy who said he was going to make them a perlaya state and then suddenly discovered that they actually have oil.

I mean you have to wonder every once while you're reminded the Joe Joe Biden defines the word shallow.

Yeah we're talking a newt gengress author of the book out now pick it up least defeating big government socialism on that topic it's something that's fascinated me forever Mr. Speaker this seems to be the idea that will never die.

It's a tragically serious topic but sometimes I joke with the audience that socialism has a 100% success record of failure it is magically managed to fail every single time it's been tried.

And yet it continues to pop up and return an academic circles and make its way into the political circles is this just show the power of the media control over the American populist to isolate and gaslight people from the truth about this deadly this deadly political ideology use that word deliberately.

I think it goes back to the academic class and here I would include the news media who are part of it in the fact that socialism is the one philosophy that gives them an excuse to have power over everybody else.

They deeply resent the wealthy they resent the successful and this is their chance to have power and so it keeps bouncing back because every generation along come a bunch of professors and reporters and others who would love to have power over your life your life and the big government socialism is the excuse for them to have that power.

So it's a vehicle more than anything but you having lived through the republican revolution when you took back Congress and having had to work with Bill Clinton.

You know you've seen the opposite approach with him a guy who in the first term obviously tried the radical left this nonsense again you lived through it you were there on the ground in the trenches.

He gets rushed in the midterms and then you and you're in the republicans in the congress pulling back and he leaves office with 60% approval so is there a possibility for sanity in the future in the democrat party you did it you pulled them over to the same side.

Well, first of all we split the democratic party I mean part of the reason Hillary had trouble against Obama in 2008 was that the left hater and it didn't hate her because of Lewinsky the hater because Bill sold out and he was clear about it.
