0:14.4	Hey, everybody. Welcome back to Next Up. Thank you for joining us for our 10th episode. We're very happy and excited about building this
0:21.3	community and delighted to have you back here or here for the first time, whether you're watching
0:26.3	on YouTube or listening as a podcast. We're very grateful to you and hope you'll spread the word
0:31.4	about next up. Like, subscribe, do all that stuff as this program continues to grow. Next up here will be House Speaker, former House Speaker,
0:39.1	Newt Gingrich. He's written dozens of books. His new one is called Trump's Triumphs. He's one of the

1:33.3	about the next presidential race. Well, I get paid to think about it all the time. But more to the
1:38.8	point, I think there's some things going on now that we've never seen before. And I think they put
1:43.3	the Republican Party in a very strong position. Doesn't mean they'll win in 20 before. And I think they put the Republican Party in a very
1:44.5	strong position. Doesn't mean they'll win in 2028. But I think on the current trajectory,
