WILLIAM LA JEUNESSE THANK YOU
NORTH OF LOS ANGELES.
>> President Trump: NANCY
PELOSI SAID A DAY BEFORE SEEING
THE TRANSCRIPT OF THE CALL WITH
THE UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT, WE'VE
GOT TO IMPEACH HIM.
WE'VE GOT TO IMPEACH HIM.
SO THEY KNOW THEY CAN'T WIN THE
2020 ELECTION.
SO THEY ARE PURSUING THE INSANE
IMPEACHMENT WITCH HUNT.
THE DO-NOTHING DEMOCRAT
EXTREMISTS HAVE GONE SO FAR
LEFT THAT THEY BELIEVE IT
SHOULD NOT BE A CRIME TO CROSS
OUR BORDER ILLEGALLY AND IT
SHOULD BE A CRIME TO HAVE A
TOTALLY APPROPRIATE CASUAL,
BEAUTIFUL, ACCURATE PHONE CALL
WITH A FOREIGN LEADER.
I DON'T THINK SO.
>> Sandra: THAT WAS PRESIDENT
TRUMP LAST NIGHT GOING ON THE
ATTACK IN MINNESOTA HOLDING HIS
FIRST CAMPAIGN RALLY SINCE
HOUSE DEMOCRATS OPENED A FORMAL
IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY.
LET'S BRING IN NEWT GINGRICH
FORMER SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE AND
FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR.
YOU SAW THE PRESIDENT LAST
NIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF HIS
STRATEGY TO GO HARD, GO ON THE
ATTACK AGAINST DEMOCRATS OVER
IMPEACHMENT?
>> WELL, LOOK, I DON'T THINK HE
HAS MUCH CHOICE.
HE HAS EITHER GOT TO SAY OH,
THIS IS ALL REALLY FAIR OR HE
HAS TO SAY THEY ARE
CONSISTENTLY CHEATING.
I THINK IT'S CLEAR FROM HIS
PERSPECTIVE, AND I WOULD ARGUE
HISTORICALLY IT WILL BE CLEAR,
THAT THIS IS ALL CRAZY.
I THOUGHT THAT SENATOR SASS OF
NEBRASKA CAPTURED IT WHEN HE
SAID THAT THIS IS A PARTISAN
CLOWN SHOW DESCRIBING WHAT THE
DEMOCRATS ARE DOING.
SASS IS NOT A BIG AUTOMATIC
PRO-TRUMP GUY BUT HE CAPTURED
HOW BAD THINGS ARE IN THE
HOUSE, HOW REALLY OUT OF
CONTROL THEY ARE AND IN A WAY
IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT IS
HAPPENING IN UKRAINE, THE FACT
IS THERE ARE SERIOUS QUESTIONS
ABOUT CORRUPTION IN UKRAINE.
IT IS LEGITIMATE TO ASK
QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT CORRUPTION
AND THERE ARE A LOT OF
QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE
ANSWERED.
I THINK THE DEMOCRATS ARE
TERRIFIED THAT IF THE PRESIDENT
IS ACTUALLY ABLE TO PURSUE
THIS, THAT IN FACT IT WILL
CHANGE THE WHOLE NATURE OF OUR
UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT HAPPENED
OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.
>> Sandra: HERE IS YOUR OPINION
PIECE PUBLISHED ON foxnews.com.
NEWT GINGRICH WRITES THE
RESISTANCE AGAINST TRUMP BEGAN
THE DAY HE WAS ELECTED.
THIS IS NOT AN IMPEACHMENT
PROCESS.
YOU CAN GO BACK TO THE
HEADLINES FROM THE MORNING
AFTER THE PRESIDENT WAS
OFFICIALLY ELECTED.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES AND SEE THAT IMPEACHMENT
WAS ALREADY BEING TALKED ABOUT
AND ALREADY IN THE HEADLINES.
>> IT'S ASTONISHING.
HE IS DECLARED THE WINNER AT
2:30 IN THE MORNING AND THE
NEXT DAY YOU HAVE EIGHT OR NINE
CITIES WHERE LEFT WINGERS HAVE
ORGANIZED ANTI-TRUMP RALLIES.
BY DECEMBER 15th YOU HAVE A
"VANITY FAIR" ARTICLE ABOUT HOW
THE IMPEACHMENT PROCESS IS
UNDERWAY.
AND ON THE VERY DAY THAT THE
PRESIDENT IS SWORN IN, JANUARY
20th, 2017, THE "WASHINGTON
POST" HAS A STORY ABOUT THE
DEMOCRATS PLANNING FOR
IMPEACHMENT.
SO NANCY PELOSI IS SIMPLY
CARRYING OUT WHAT IS AN
UNCONSTITUTIONAL EFFORT TO USE
THE POWER OF THE CONGRESS TO
CHANGE THE OUTCOME FOR THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
IT IS A DIRECT ASSAULT ON THE
WHOLE IDEA OF REPRESENTING THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE AND INSTEAD
IMPOSING DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS AS THE ULTIMATE
ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
I THINK IT WILL BACKFIRE VERY
BADLY.
THE PRESIDENT IN MINNESOTA WAS
IN A STATE WHERE COLIN PETERSON
IS A LONG-TIME DEMOCRAT.
HIS DISTRICT VOTED FOR TRUMP BY
30 POINTS.
I THINK IT WILL BE VERY HARD
FOR PETERSON TO GO WITH NANCY
PELOSI, VOTE FOR IMPEACHMENT
AND GET REELECTED.
SHE IS GOING TO PUT A LOT OF
PEOPLE IN THAT KIND OF A CHOICE.
>> Sandra: IT WILL BE
INTERESTING TO WATCH.
MEANWHILE THE PRESIDENT WAS
INSIDE CONDUCTING THAT RALLY, A
CROWD OF PROTESTORS WERE
GATHERING OUTSIDE.
WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF WHAT YOU
SAW HAPPENING OUTSIDE OF THAT
RALLY LAST NIGHT?
>> WELL, I THINK IT TELLS YOU
WHERE THE COUNTRY IS.
WE ARE AS CLOSE TO A CULTURAL
CIVIL WAR AS WE HAVE BEEN SINCE
THE 1860s.
YOU HAVE PEOPLE VERY DEEPLY
DIVIDED.
THEY HAVE LITERALLY LIVE IN TWO
DIFFERENT REALITIES.
AND I THINK THAT YOU HAVE SORT
OF THE PRO-IMPEACHMENT LEFT
DESPERATE TO GET TO TRUMP LED
BY "THE NEW YORK TIMES" AND
"WASHINGTON POST", AND THEN THE
MAJOR NETWORKS.
THEN YOU HAVE MILLIONS OF
PEOPLE FOR WHOM TRUMP IS THE
FIRST PRESIDENT TO REALLY STAND
UP FOR WHAT THEY THINK THEIR
VALUES ARE.
AND SO THAT'S WHY HE
CONSISTENTLY IS IN THE 43 TO 45
OR 46% RANGE OF APPROVAL.
THOSE PEOPLE DON'T CARE ABOUT
THE NOISE.
THEY SEE A GUY WHO THEY THINK
DELIVERED ON THE ECONOMY,
DELIVERED ON CONSERVATIVE
JUDGES.
DELIVERING ON STANDING UP FOR
AMERICA, AND THEY ARE VERY
PREPARED TO TOLERATE WHATEVER
THE MARGINAL PROBLEMS ARE
BECAUSE THEY THINK HE IS THE
FIRST TIME THEY'VE SEEN IN
THEIR LIFETIME WITH THE GUTS TO
STAND UP TO THE ESTABLISHMENT.
>> Sandra: YOU'VE MADE IT CLEAR
WHAT THE PRESIDENT'S STRATEGY
SHOULD BE A YEAR OUT FROM THE
NEXT ELECTION.
MR. SPEAKER, HOW DO YOU THINK
THE PRESIDENT IS DOING SINCE
THE DEMOCRATS LAUNCHED THIS
FORMAL IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY?
HOW DO YOU THINK HE IS DOING?
>> I THINK OVERALL HE IS DOING
FINE.
ON OCCASION I THINK THAT HE
WOULD BE BETTER OFF TO EDIT HIS
TWEETS.
I THINK AT TIMES HE PICKS
FIGHTS HE DOESN'T NEED OR SAYS
THINGS THAT ARE STRONGER THAN
HE NEEDS TO SAY THEM.
BUT HE IS A NATURAL COUNTER
PUNCHER AND HAS BEEN DOING THAT
SINCE THE 1980s WHEN HE USED TO
FIGHT CONSTANTLY WITH PAGE 6 IN
NEW YORK.
I DON'T THINK WE'LL TALK HIM
OUT OF IT.
IT'S VERY SIMPLE.
ONE, THE ECONOMY HAS TO KEEP
DOING PRETTY WELL AND IF THE
ECONOMY IS DOING PRETTY WELL HE
WILL PROBABLY GET REELECTED.
TWO, ULTIMATELY HE HAS TO
CONVINCE THE COUNTRY, I THINK
THE SENATE REPUBLICANS WILL
HELP HIM CONVINCE THE COUNTRY,
THAT THIS ENTIRE EFFORT BY
NANCY PELOSI AND THE LEFT WING
IS TOTALLY WRONG AND TOTALLY
AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION, HAS
NO BASIS IN MERIT AND THREE, HE
SIMPLY HAS TO IDENTIFY HOW
CRAZY THE LEFT WING OF THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS.
WHEN THEY SAY, FOR EXAMPLE,
THAT THEY WANT TO HAVE TOTALLY
OPEN BORDERS.
THAT WOULD MEAN MILLIONS OF
PEOPLE.
WHEN THEY SAY AS ELIZABETH
WARREN DID THE OTHER NIGHT SHE
FAVORS PAYING WELFARE TO PEOPLE
WHO ARE HERE ILLEGALLY OR
PROVIDING FREE HEALTHCARE TO
PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE ILLEGAL OR
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE HOUSE,
WHERE ALL BUT 10 DEMOCRATS
VOTED TO PUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
AHEAD OF VETERANS.
AS THAT SINKS INTO THE COUNTRY
THE RADICALISM WILL DEFEAT AN
AMAZING NUMBER OF DEMOCRATS
