Farcical person of the year choice. But first, the desperate Political Warfare of the left. Thats the focus of tonights angle. Im going to explain to you what is really behind all these calls on capitol hill suddenly for al franken to resign from the senate. At last count 34 democratic senators, look at them all their are demanding that he step down in the wake of a string of harassment allegations that weve been hearing about now for days. Before you join the march to the castle to capture the monster, i have a word of caution. Theyve come down with a sudden case of feverish morality, but what it really is is nothing more than a political calculation by the dems. Look, they have two paths to destroy the president. The first is the mueller investigation. Weve been talking about how that is corrupted of course. Last night with jeannie reed, yet another prosecutor who shouldnt be on this case. We broke that score it exclusively last night on the show. The second way they will try to destroy the Trump Presidency is the war on women. They have now determined that it is worth sacrificing franken just like they did john conyers, throw him overboard to save the political titanic that is their party. What does this do . Sets the precedent for the democrats to try to drive roy moore from office should he win the Alabama Senate race. And two, this is the next step in the quest to impeach President Trump. The left is brilliant. They are really, really smart at using the media to create a narrative and pounded all day long that quickly becomes a political bludgeon. The drumbeat of accusations in the call for scalps advance the false premise that the left are all about protecting women. In fact, both hollywood and the democrats think about this. They have objectified and abused women for decades. In the abusers, lets not forget, have been celebrated. Ted kennedy, bill clinton, matt lauer, kevin spacey. Franken, conyers, weinstein, the list goes on and on. I will tell you this tonight. Be wary of the lynch mob that you join today because tomorrow it could be coming your husband, your brother, your son, and yes, even your president. And thats the angle. Now someone who knows democrats in the games they play like this better than anyone, former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich. Mr. Speaker, good to see you. Welcome back from rome. Lets talk about the games that are being played up there on capitol hill. Theres all this newfound moral outrage about al franken and all these democrats and john conyers. Whats really going on here fast forwarding to 2018 . First of all, im going to be very politically incorrect. Lets go back to who franken was a month ago. He had the number one bestselling book. He was a very funny guy. Democrats loved him. He was doing fine and then things began to fall apart. All of these nice people, none of whom have given back the money that they raised from harvey weinstein. None of whom have repudiated Hillary Clinton or bill clinton. None of them seemed offended in the past. Suddenly in the process of moral outrage creating a lynch mob, what you saw today was a lynch mob. Lets not have due process, lets not ask anybody in questions, lets not have a chance to have a hearing. Lets just lynch him because when we are done we will be so pure. We will feel so good. This is a party which is losing his mind. Im being very politically incorrect but let me just be clear. I think that the gillibrands and others are literally losing their minds. I think shes losing her mind. I think in this moment, the existential enthusiasm in the middle ages, people would walk around and they would beat themselves. They would say i feel so much better now, im beating myself, look how bad i am. These are people who grew up in a party which used to preach free love, which used to think that all of the hippies were wonderful. Used to think they were somehow representing the future and now they have suddenly curled into this weird puritanism which feels a compulsion to go out and lynch people without a trial. Laura i just want everyone watching to understand that Newt Gingrich is here tonight and he standing up for al franken. Absolutely extracts me when i said last week that i didnt think he should resign because until i think the voters have to have a say on this. Pushing people out of office coke i have not read all the details. To the best of my knowledge, even the one which broke today, the horrifying last straw which led schumer to decide as a great new yorker that he had to suddenly stand on the side of puritanism. Pretty bizarre. As i understand it that occurred two years ago when he was a comedian. Al franken was a comedian. Comedians often do weird things. He was in the entertainment business. He was doing the kind of things people in the entertainment business to. Maybe im wrong, but i dont see anything that theyve said since he has done since hes a senator. Laura i tried to lose track. I think there are couple allegations. I think its minor stuff. The point is we are in one of those weird american moments one running around lynching people feel so good. Laura it feels good. You go back and watch the youtube of clarence thomas. Laura is just going to say, my old boss. Who by the way it was wonderful and swore in calista. Right moment. You go back and you look at what he said about an electronic lynching. And then you look at what conyers had a lot of good reasons to retire, but on the other hand no hearings, no witness. Laura theres no due process. If you are accused and you are a man, you are done. This is venezuela, cuba. This is every third world banana republic. Laura theyre doing it because they want the power back. They have no substance, no issues. War on women, turning out the vote in 2018 and 2020. Not even sure. Laura i think its get out the vote. Looking at each other and they go on my god laura they want to hit roy moore and they cant hit roy moore as long as al franken is hitting in the senate. They cant say donald trump donald trump you campaign for roy moore. Let me ask in an appropriate question. What do we know about doug jones . Hes proabortion, thats what i know. Proabortion, proguncontrol. What if it turns out next tuesday that doug jones actually had an appropriate date when he was 11 years old and it was really inappropriate and he shouldnt even be on the ballot . Are the democrats now going to jump up and go vote for roy moore . We are in a cycle which by any reasonable this is cultural anthropology con. This is watch the natives go nuts. Laura speaking of nuts, lets go right to the mueller investigation. All these prosecutors who i believe are politically compromised. One worked for the clinton foundation, jeannie rhee, she represented ben rhodes. We broke that last night. And then she is now working for mueller, andrew weissman, peter strzok, who was struck from the team. What about this investigation, and is this now not all tainted because mueller did not remove these people or assemble the team with a political, seemingly at least on the surface, a political ax to grind against the president . I thought it was a very responsible person. And then i watched two he began to hire. From his own law firm. Which i believe gave 99. 82 of its money to hillary. I began to look at all of the stuff and i think about how they are doing this. Hillarys top aides clearly lied. Not a single indictment, not a single conviction. Laura immunity it looks like. Hillary is never put under oath because you cant get them for perjury if they never swore. Now you get to its time to go after republicans. And i would say and i say this in all seriousness without making fun of the franken situation. If hillary had not lost we would be mired in the deepest level of corruption in american history. Mueller is corrupt, the senior fbi is corrupt. The system is corrupt and until you get back up and say realize how really truly corrupt this is, theres a sickness here. My granddaughter maggie got me to read a fascinating book about murder in osage county in the 1920s. And everybody in the county Law Enforcement was corrupt and people came in, ironically, the fbi, the honest outsiders. What do you now have is now at the county corruption at the level of comey and mueller in that entire system. I think it is frightening. If you believe in the rule of law and you believe in america, what we are learning is genuinely frightening. Laura finally, jerusalem, moving the embassy to jerusalem, all the elites in europes are up in arms. So lovely to know that antisemitism is alive and well in europe. The fact is the only country in the world which is not allowed to name its own capital is israel. I think what prompted that it was courageous. I can also tell you having talked with Vice President this afternoon this was systematic, it was thoughtful, it was strategic and they believe it strengthens their hand in the end at getting to a peace agreement. Laura Newt Gingrich, it is always great to see you. Give my best to the ambassador. You are an ambassadors husband now. I am with the state department calls a trailing spouse. Laura never trailing on our show. Next, to coat top insiders Cory Lewandowski and david bossie jointly with insights youre going to to hear nowhere else. Time magazines person of the year is just another excuse to bash the president , come on. I will explain in a continuing angle, stay there. Liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night. Hold on dad. Liberty did what . Yeah, Liberty Mutual 24hour roadside assistance helped him to fix his flat so he could get home safely. My dad says our insurance doesnt have that. Dont worry i know what a lug wrench is, dad. Is this a lug wrench . Maybe . You can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. Liberty stands with you™. Liberty mutual insurance. This s electricity. This is a power plant. This is tim barckholtz. Thats me this is something he is researching at exxonmobil using fuel cells to capture Carbon Emissions at power plants. This is the potential. Reducing co2 emissions by up to 90 . While also producing more power. This could be big. Energy lives here. Laura steve bannon makes no bones about it. He wants Mitch Mcconnell to go. I asked Mitch Mcconnell about that last week and he had choice words, you will recall. And a lot of other Establishment Republicans as well. Steve bannon sees them as the biggest obstacle to passing the trump agenda so he lining up antiestablishment Senate Candidates like the embattled roy moore in alabama. Now mcconnell is fighting back. Hes calling his preferred candidates a bunch of losers. We are not going to lose any nominations to the kind of candidates that guy you were talking about endorsed. Hes a specialist is nominating people who lose. If this is same element in the party that cost us a bunch of seats in 2010 and 2012. We changed our business model. Laura to start this all out im joined now by the authors of a soontobe huge best seller, so excited. Just published, insider account of the campaign. Im just going to call it the campaign. The book is let trump each room, the inside story of his rise to the presidency. We welcome former president ial Campaign ManagerCory Lewandowski deputy Campaign Manager dave bossi. Congrats on the book. Lovely blurbs on the back by the way. They are awesome. Tremendous. Laura im going to love this in hannitys face that my blurb is before his. I love it. Little victories for me. I want to get into the book because its fascinating. You get into the trump personality, his management style, or lack thereof. But i want to talk about this brewing fight between the establishment now and steve bannon and the populist. Im a populist, you guys are pretty populist conservatives. This dovetails into so much of what you wrote about in your book. Who survives despite . Is it steve bannon or mcconnell, or will it be a draw . I think its going to be very interesting. They will coalesce about some of the same exact candidates. It will be very funny that steve bannon is going to be staying these are the conservative populists, and they are, and Mitch Mcconnell is going to be trying to take him for his own as establishment candidates and we will see, we have a tremendous crop of candidates out there whether its Josh Mandella and ohio, josh holly in missouri. All across the country tremendous conservatives running for office. We are going to pick up in november and its going to be because of this trump agenda that is so successful. Laura isnt mcconnell moving a little bit to trump now . You heard among chain migration. I interviewed him last week. Never heard him so conservative. Hes like pushing chain migration for the race act. The present is a force and this is why hes always so successful. He brings people kicking and screaming to his side. Laura he brought you guys. He knows its the right thing to do and what Mitch Mcconnell knows is that the American People said we are bringing donald trump to washington for change in the people that are going to run the josh pearl s the world hes going to come here to change the way washington works. Laura the status quo doesnt want it changed. Thats one of the reasons why this president has been frustrated over those last ten or 11 months. Laura he gets a little impatient, dont you think . Because he was used to getting things done. Laura i dont blame him. If you dont get things done you die. You go away, you failed. He came to washington, wanting to kick in a couple of doors and knock over a couple of tests because washington is broken. And we in our campaign and in the books, we detail his passion in what he did to the American People. You were there last year when we were at the rallies and late at night, its midnight every night night after night. Laura i want to talk about the moment that you learned you were not going to be working on the campaign anymore, because ive been there when ive been fired and its not fun. You poured your heart and soul into that campaign. I remember being with you i think it was february of 2016. People were hammering him day in and day out. I think i was there for Palm Beach Republican Club and the campaign was u. N. Hope hicks. If i kept wheres the campaign . The campaign up on the second floor somewhere and thinking theres going to be a big warm room. I open all the stores and if it is time the office and its two people working away at computers. Emily, who are cory, wheres the campaign you are putting your heart and soul into this and then manafort comes in. Even at that time the campaign too many. This whole campaign was donald trump. 99. 9 night and look, the rest of us had a very small world. This event, his gut, his tenacity. Every person in that election, he just outworked. Did i have a little bit of a roll . I had a front row seat to history. Its either me or somebody else. You let frumpy trump and he will be successful. Laura trying to get you for pushing that. It was a target. Everyones a target. The media hated trump because that was the laura the night before the election when we were in virginia, he actually said we are going to win it. To me. But that night of the election it was like it was fun. This was kind of fun, guys. We had fun doing this, didnt we . And then the number started coming in. That is so cool. The early exit polls that we sought by the clock were just abysmal. Laura the left was exuberant. Hillary was popping champagne. We had to suffer through its all in the book, let trump be trump. If the election night, the debate night. Its phenomenal. Laura when you first met donald trump very quickly. My friend was helping me raise money for Childrens Hospital school in washington, d. C. For my sons heart surgeries and brain surgeries. It was a tremendous outpouring by donald trump to me. No fanfare, no press. He just is a kind, gentle guy. Laura we dont see enough of that. Thats why we wrote about it in the book. We wanted people to understand that softer side of donald trum donald trump. Laura ive known him for a while. I introduced them to corey. Still magnanimous. I spent so much time with him away for my family. He always was concerned about them and make sure that they were taking care of. Thats not what most people do. Laura it is a joke. We will win in november and we will have a great year legislatively. That will help us in november. Laura i want you to stand by because former defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who is a fan of this president is about to come on, joined me exclusively. We will talk about bushs criticism of him and the president s moves today in the middle east. Thank you both for joining, we love the book. Fantastic, congrats. Thank you so much. Laura stay with us.
