Newt Gingrich

You want to create jobs overseas and try to sell in America, you're going to have a tariff. I think that was probably a huge sobering shock to many of those business leaders. And you've already seen several groups come together to commit $500 billion for artificial intelligence. The head of Saudi Arabia has pledged $600 billion in investments in the United States.

And I think Trump has decided he's going to be probably the most consequential president other than Washington and Lincoln that we've had in American history. And he's certainly working at it pretty hard the first week.

Well, you know, I think a couple of things. First of all, his nine year project to get back here is unlike anything in American history. They did everything they could to stop him, and he's here. And maybe the most iconic moment was when he was shot and stood up with his fist up in the air, yelling, fight, fight, fight.

I think it took something out of his opponents to realize that you're dealing here not with a normal politician. You're dealing with a citizen who has become a juggernaut of history. Second, the fact that he won by more than 2 million votes and that he carried every single swing state, all seven of them, I think demoralized the left.

Here they had thrown everything they could at him, and here he is standing triumphant. And then they're watching, you know, to go back to General Thompson's phrase, they're watching shock and awe. I mean, he's hitting them from so many different angles every day. They're getting 20 or 30 things to be outraged about daily. And I think they're just mystified.

And I think the elite media knows that they're in deep trouble. They're declining economically. They're getting people laid off. Frankly, programs like yours or like Joe Rogan or like Fox News, all of these have become dramatically more important than the traditional elite media. And The result is that their revenue is going down. Their employment is going down.

You look at the layoffs at places like the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times. This is a different world. Now, let me be very clear, and you sort of said this at the beginning. All we got so far is a ticket to the dance. We haven't realigned America. We haven't won massive majorities like Franklin Roosevelt. And so we've got to perform. We've got to do well enough to keep the House in 26.

We've got to do well enough to elect another Republican president in 28. And until we've done that, I think we're still in a gray zone where Trump's personality is carrying us, but we haven't yet quite solidified the country as a new MAGA-oriented traditional American country, which is where Trump is taking us.

Well, I think Washington and Lincoln will always be preeminent. Washington and and essentially created the country. Lincoln held the country together through a four-year civil war. So they're in a little different class.

But if you go one layer below to Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Franklin Roosevelt, I have no doubt that Trump is going to end up, if he continues at this pace for four years and keeps the House and elects a successor, I have no doubt he will end up in a zone just below Washington and Lincoln and above Washington. people we've historically thought of as great presidents.
