Newt Gingrich

Well, we shouldn't. It's actually quite ironic. The Weimar Republic, which people always say, well, that's what free speech gets you to. The Weimar Republic had very strict laws. There are 200 legal actions against the Nazis. Hitler at one point is barred from speaking in Bavaria. So it's not like the Weimar Republic was this wonderful world of free speech.

In fact, they were trying to find ways to restrict communists and to restrict Nazis. And in the long run, it failed. But it failed because the economy failed. because the world had failed from the standpoint of the average everyday German. These rules in Europe and Britain, by the way, in some ways is the worst.

I mean, the British have had a grooming crisis of Pakistani males raping young girls and nothing being done, because if you report it, it's considered Islamophobia. So the parents get in trouble for trying to protect their 13 or 14-year-old girl. I mean, this stuff is crazy. And, of course, the American elites, who are all still in a state of shock from the election,

I mean, the performance on CBS the other morning with Marco Rubio was a disgrace, and the moderator should be fired for pure incompetence. I agree. The things she said are just false. And I think this is a real crisis. The 60-minute speech is pure propaganda. And, of course, what you've seen is, as Jim Clifton and Gallup told me today, for the first time, the news media now ranks below Congress.

As an institution, people don't trust. And as a general rule now, I think the average American knows that if you're watching CBS or NBC or ABC or you're watching or you're reading The New York Times, The Washington Post, it's probably a lie. It's probably fake.

I mean, you're going to say you're part of this. I mean, the fact is the country's turning to podcasts. I mean, going on Joe Rogan beat anything that Trump could have gained by going on the old networks.

In terms of sheer believability and in terms of penetration. You've done the same thing. I think a big part of the rise in younger people supporting Trump comes directly from you. And so in a sense, the old media is killing itself and driving people to places like your podcast.

since before he was Speaker of the House in Florida. We are old friends. He is a brilliant political leader. He was a great Speaker of the House in Florida. You know, and I think had Trump not overwhelmed him, he would have been a very good president. I think he's very talented. Plus, as somebody with a background as a Cuban American, he has a deep instinct for Latin America.

He's thought a great deal about communism because he's dealt with Castro and the Cubans. And I think you're going to find, and he and I chatted about this the other day, he is going to remake the State Department. into an institution that actually serves American interests rather than the elitist interests of the sort of Davos world gentry.

And I think he does it well, he's articulate, he's smart, he knows an immense amount. I mean, these reporters don't know anything. That's one of the things you have to remember. Not only are they biased, they don't know anything. People like Marco know a great deal. Witkoff, by the way, has been a huge surprise. I know Steve, but I knew him as a realtor. I had no idea his negotiating talents.
