Interview of Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich The Rock of Talk (Eddy) : ABQ.FM and Rock of Talk.com. I'm joined by former house speaker, Newt Gingrich. You guys are all too familiar with him. And, of course, you see him; he ran for President in 2012. But the thing that I remember him most is, of course, the “Contract with America.” It seems like we have a new “Contract with America.” Welcome into the KIVA Newt Gingrich and into Albuquerque, New Mexico. Thanks so much for being here. Newt Gingrich : Awesome. I'm delighted to be there to talk with you. And I do think that Kevin McCarthy's “Commitment to America,” which people can see, www.commitmenttoamerica.com is very parallel to what we did and is a remarkable document. If you go to www.commitmenttoamerica.com , you'll see over 150 specific positive proposals to try to get America back working again. The Rock of Talk (Eddy) : It's nice to have structure since we've been floating on all the way. And we're gonna go back little ways just because we just celebrated 31 years, actually, since Clarence Thomas was brought in. We'll get to the legislative in the races and all that stuff. That's very important. And McCarthy's doing a great job, and I'm glad you're helping guide all of that. I've seen you plenty of times on Fox News as well. But going back to judicial stuff, we're now talking about some of that, you know, heritage. Here's a man who didn't speak a word on the bench for 10 years, Newt. And here we are talking about Affirmative Action. Now, this is kind of important. The Supreme Court's taking over, and that's sort of the thing that we control 6 to 3 and from what it looks like. But you, of course, addressed it on your transgender note directly to Joe Biden over the weekend, and that sees where that two sorts of converge in coming together. Please give me your thoughts on some heritage and the strength that we have right now with the Supreme Court. Newt Gingrich : Well, I, look, I think the, one of the things which will make Trump a very consequential president is the Supreme Court that he left, is he appointed three constitutional conservatives are nominated, and the Senate confirmed three constitutional conservatives. That meant that for the first time since the early 1930s, you have a conservative court, and it is reverting to actually enforcing the Constitution, doing precisely what former Justice Sirica used to call for us to do. And, I think that it's really, really important to remember that we are dealing with a liberal worldview, which wanted to rewrite the constitution disrespects to that question of independence and would change America in dramatic ways. The Rock of Talk (Eddy) : We saw what happened with Justice Kavanaugh over the summer, the threats to his life. And now we're seeing the Democrats utilizing this in the one-off thing that happened over the past weekend with Paul Pelosi, husband to Nancy Pelosi here, and trying to change the two things that we're running on actual crime and economy. Now, inflation, you just got the three-quarter bump about an hour and a half earlier today. And that is gonna have some consequences. But I know you're big on these predictions, and we're gonna start there. We know that that's the two-prong approach. No, no need to really kind of beat that down. But your thoughts for the Senate seem to be hit or miss; we've heard 50-50 of the plus one, which it currently is; we've listened to as high as 55, 45. Governor Scott has put that out there. Where do you see it? Why do you see it, and what will be the tough race in your mind? Newt Gingrich : Well, I think that it's essential to recognize that when you have the current crisis in the cost of living, whether i
