and may well get defeated in the primary because you'll be seen as a sellout. That's exactly what happened to the Republicans under Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s. And that's part of why the New Deal became the dominant coalition for 90 years, because the Republicans just shattered and couldn't figure out what to do.
And Trump has done everything right to be a coalition builder in the tradition of Jefferson and Lincoln and Roosevelt. to both deliver things people want and to define his opponents and to set up the kind of fights where his opponents rush in to just be mildly crazy.
And he started to mention the woman who I hope they're going to censure this week because as a congresswoman, she has said things that are— Jasmine Davy Crockett, yep, that's right. Oh, yeah. I mean, the things she's been saying are so vicious.
And we do have this problem right now that you have a very substantial militant group on the left who are willing to burn cars, firebomb dealerships, talk about getting Elon Musk, talk about other kinds of things that involve violence. I mean, the real threat to violence in America right now is from a bitter left-wing extremist who just can't cope with what's happening.
Well, listen, the biggest project we've got is the America's New Majority Project, which they can see at that title. And then I have a new book coming out this summer called Trump's Triumph, which lays out both how he won, but also what it means for the future of America and the great things we can accomplish. And as always, Charlie, it's great to be with you.
You were a major factor in the victory last year, and you're going to be a major factor in winning this cultural fight over the future of America.
It would change America, and then that will change the world.
Well, you know, Callista and I did a documentary that was on PBS called Journey to America. And we took nine people who came here legally and who made America a better country. Because we want to make the point that while we're against illegal immigration, that legal immigration often makes America stronger.
I think everybody I talk to who's a legal immigrant is really angry at the idea that people just plain broke the law. They didn't wait in line. They didn't obey the rules. They are, in effect, in their minds, illegitimate. And they don't want that rewarded.
Furthermore, a lot of people who came here from countries that have dangerous gangs like Venezuela and El Salvador really don't want the gangs here. That's part of why they were attracted to America. So I think the left has always misunderstood.
the nature of legal immigration in America and the fact that, for example, when you deal with most Latinos, you're dealing with people who are very often devout Christians or Catholics or Pentecostals or Fundamentalists, but very Christian, believe in very traditional values. You go talk to them about having boys engaged in girls' sports. They think you're just nuts.
You go talk to them about the importance of welfare. They think you're crazy. They think people should work. And we've done a ton of polling at the America's New Majority Project. And every time we poll it, people believe that everybody who gets money from the federal government should work.
And that unless you have a severe disability and they believe that people who are able bodied and take money without working are committing fraud. So nobody on the left understands these things. That's why Trump going to McDonald's was an act of genius, because 87 percent of Americans go to McDonald's every year. 40 million people have worked at McDonald's, including Jeff Bezos.
And on the left, of course, they used to say, you don't want to take some hamburger flipping job. And of course, on the left, they don't serve Chablis at McDonald's. They don't serve French food. It's a hard experience. So Trump understood where the American people were. Nobody on the hard left has a clue where the American people are.
And they have kind of an elite snobbishness that just puts them totally out of sync with the American people.
I would say three things. One, work as a team. You're now the governing party, so you have to work together. You have to find good reasons to vote yes. When you're the opposition party, you find good reasons to vote no. Well, that ain't your role now. Your role is to be a team to work together. That's number one.
Number two, you have to pass the tax cut bill and the deregulation bill, ideally by May, no later than mid-June. Because it has to be in effect in time for the economy next year to be taking off and for people to say, you know, Trump's delivered. I feel better. I have more money in my pocket. I want to keep it going. And three, I think the key issue next year is going to be a very simple question.
Is it working? Thank you. Thank you.
Charlie, it's always great to be with you, and you do an amazing job.
No, I don't think so. I think if you date it from the 7th of November after it was clear he was going to be president all the way up through the first month, and I'm writing on this Friday at Gingrich 360, there is a speed, a comprehensiveness, a clarity of what he's doing, which is extended through his whole team.
