Interesting the bernie ost as many are supporting our campaign as our Hillary Clinton. Host rachel from tennessee, good evening. Hello, how are you . I have some questions regarding the Foreign Policy. Really participation within our state department and in congress and in the executive branch, exporting weapons to saudi arabia who im sure you sell what happened saturday, the atrocity bombings of a funeral. I am wondering how would you deepe what i call the state . It is also against the law for our government to participate in groups,with terrorist giving them weapons and then also the drone program. They are building 100 million or billion dollar drone base in africa and i am just wondering how can the people in washington be held accountable for working with terrorists . Host thank you for the call. Ms. Stein really great question and you named a number of critical issues. This requires many steps in order to deal with. The first step is for us to stand up and have leadership that says we need a new way forward, a new chapter in foreign relations, a foreignpolicy based on International Law, human rights, diplomacy, not on the exercise of brute military and economic domination. We call for a Foreign Policy in which we are not supplying weapons to people who are violating International Law and human rights. That includes saudi arabia and includes the government of israel, which is violating human rights. We are supporting their army to the tune of a Million Dollars a day. Include egypt, for example, which is also committing massive human rights violations. We have been a violator ourselves of International Law and human rights like the drone program. That is a violation of International Law. We need to inform our allies that we are turning over a new chapter and we expect them to do the same. In the middle east, we call for a weapons embargo to the whole region because we are basically supplying weapons to all sides and a freeze on the funding of and the Bank Accounts of those funding. There is a better way forward. We need to stand up and make it happen. In this election, we are deciding not just what the world will be but the climate crisis, deep potential for nuclear welfare. And do that. And up win,ve a number we can including 25 million latinos who learnt in this race that the republicans are the party of hate and fear. Thist me conclude with question. What is this election about . It is about eight democracy. About shifting power back to the people. It is about having a vision of the future that says we can do more. It is a campaign that says that we have the ability to transform ourselves and our conditions but we have to understand the end exercise it and that allows the fear mongers to abandon our principles and support the lesser of two evils. This is about the future. You for beingnk with us. Dr. Stein thank you, steve.

Steve we want to welcome back former House SpeakerNewt Gingrich, a with a new book called treason. We will talk about that in just a moment. Treason. But finish this sentence. The state of the Republican Party three weeks before the election is what . Guest chaotic. And a changeange, driven by the voters and not donald trump. Began,e election process about 62 of the Republican Voters said they were unhappy with the leadership in washington, and that is quite trump the 16th of the candidates. Not just donald trump but the voter base that when a dramatic change. Real changes chaotic, not a comfortable and easy soft thing. That is what we are in the early stages of. Host yesterday, donald trump was in New Hampshire and theyll get your reaction of what he said about the upcoming debate. [video clip] athletes make them take a drug test, right . I think we should take a drug test prior to the debate. I do. Why do we do that . We should take a drug test because i do not know what is going on with her, but at the beginning of her last debate, she was all pumped up at the beginning, and at the end, it was like, take me down. She could barely reach her car. Host mr. Speaker, your reaction . Guest he goes off on these tangents that i do not think are central to winning. It strikes me that he can beat Hillary Clinton on really big issues in which she is really guilty. He does not need to go up on these tangents, making him look like he is doing things that do not fit the average persons idea what the president ial campaign ought to be. Host what are the issues that Chris Wallace has asked it to be president . You can assume he will be asking about the audiotapes and charges against him. How should you respond . Guest i think he ought to say that the things i have been in my life im not proud of and i have apologized, but everybody who has worked at me and watch this campaign knows i am totally committed to helping save america and i will do everything i can to four hours a day to help save america. Host the New York Times this morning, paul ryan, a long labor path leading away from donald trump. Was it a mistake to say he will not campaign for the gop nominee . Guest i think he was sending a signal to all members, which is it is not their job to defend donald trump. That is Donald Trumps job. It is their job to defeat Hillary Clinton. Walk a ryan has to narrow line and i think he has walked that line. To hariri. Ed take him out with a strong statement two days ago about the anticapital bigotry and the hillarys senior staff, and i think you will continue to be openly opposed to hillary. Frankly, it is not his job to run around and defend everything donald trump says. Host you also made the comment on fox news last week about the lynching of the media and you quote someone who writes about politics in minnesota. Guest he wrote a fascinating aece that he described as media coup detat. He said that 14 million americans picked donald trump as the republican nominee. About 20 or 30 years executives decided last friday to destroy him. The hill came out with an analysis. On friday, you had to wikileaks about hillary and this 11yearold tape about trump. The evening news of the three networks was 23 minutes on trump and 57 seconds on hillary. That is an unending onesided barrage that i have never seen anything like in my lifetime. ,t is a continuous, all week the continuing assault on trump, while ignoring criminal behavior revealed by wikileaks, and it is astonishing to me the mismatch in coverage. Out thats pointing this is way beyond bias. This was a deliberate effort to destroy candidate of a major party and that is what trump means when they talk about the election being rigged. It is not rigged by the local precinct worker. It is rigged by the national networks, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and i have been looking at this since august 1958 and i think they are right. The establishment is terrified by the genuine outsider and doubly terrified of the conservative outsider. I think the gloves are off and they will destroy him. Ironically, in the abc poll this was two the total shift points. If i was the news media, be worried that in the end what they are doing is alienating the whole country. Host who wins november 8 . Guest trump. If you look around the world, people are sick of corruption, sick of the dishonesty, sick of the establishment and it is to it brexit in great britain, in iceland where a teacher won the election for special president and two in rome, for the first time in 2000 years, a woman mayor, who comes from the fivestar move, which was founded by comedian as an anticorruption movement. All over the planet, people are fed up with politicians who are lying, cheating and stealing. I think clinton is the personification, the two clintons are the personification of corruption. Host our guest, former House SpeakerNewt GingrichNewt Gingrich. Well go to florida, supporter of donald trump. Good morning. Caller good morning. Thank you for allowing me to speak. Newt gingrich, i appreciate your intelligence and diligence to find the facts for us voters. At first, i am a 24 carat gold constituent from the tampa, florida, and i have just had it. I was initially going to vote another way, but having heard you, specifically you, articulate in a gentlemanly matter on how worse off our country would be with the likes of Hillary Clinton, also, too, i would like you to express to donald trump, please, talk about the way the Democratic Party deceived us in order to push ahead the employer mandate so democratscrati would not be affected by such horrific thing when they found or that once the democrat employer mandate was to be initiated, that it was hurt millions and millions of hardworking voters and americans. Host patricia, thank you for the call. Guest then, one of the reasons people are fed up with washington is president obama campaigned promising you could keep your doctor, your health insurance. Not only was it not true, we knew he knew it was not true. If he had told the truth, he would not have gotten elected and that is why. People are so fed up with all of trumps weaknesses, and he clearly has week this is. He has a level of candor, that i think for americans, was a refreshing change from the package professional dishonesty which surrounds us in american politics today. Host you have said there is big trump and little trump. Why does he not verbally away from the little stuff and focus on big issues . When you talk to him, what do you tell him . Guest we talk about it directly and he is gone much further. He is a 70yearold billionaire who beat 16 people, including very, very good candidates. The history of the Republican Party and he says, wait a second, i have done pretty well, tell me why i have to change . He is in a different league, potential president , the standards are different than money for the nomination and he does have to change and gradually getting there. I worry if you will get there fast enough. He is a great showman. I have been at several rallies. Part of this came out of the apprentice and the experience he has had with Miss Universe and the things he has done as a marketer. He gets into the crowd and he and the crowd are dancing, and sometimes that is a mistake. When you look at it on television, it is not nearly as exciting when you stand there were 2000 people. Host from washington, good morning. You newt . Y i call guest of course. Old andi am 80 years you came on my radar screen and thatnd night that you are the most brilliant political strategist in my lifetime. Guest wow. Caller you know, your contract for america was that is all for thed about following year in the newspapers and the television. Strategy was perfect. Want there is a question of like to ask you. The democrats have only got 13 governors left and they have not had control of the house, but two art of the last 19 years for the last 21 years, so your strategy worked perfectly well. You are the most brilliant political strategist i have ever known. Now the question. House,u retired from the was it because of the little super pac or book deal or may be was it your visit to your wife when she was dying of cancer . What was the reason for your retirement . Guest those are all three very good rumors. None of which are true. My exwife, the socalled visit that my daughters were with me on was in 1980, long before i became speaker of the house. The contract i signed was in 1994, long before i left the house. I cannot set up the american solutions, which was not a super pac, they did not exist back then, until after i left the house. The truth was i burned out my welcome. I was such an aggressive, change oriented speaker. I pushed so many things, reformed welfare, balanced the budget for four years, and the members got tired of it. It was turmoil all the time because we were pushing and pushing and pushing. I finally realized the truth was after the 1998 election that they were were not, i was one out and it was time to go. I was comfortable leaving and i have had a pretty remarkable career since then. I am very happy having been speaker of the house. Great honor. Happy to observe the people of georgia for 20 years. Great honor, but i am also happy writing books, making movies and other things. Host have you had any conversations with former Speaker John Boehner . Guest i have not. I should probably give him a call. Great guy who did the great job. He led the party back into the majority. He was the conference chair when i was speaker. Host he came in the 1994, correct . No, i think 1990 because he was part of the gang of seven that reformed the house and he became conference chair when i became majority and he did the great job. A very confident guy. Host treason his book number what . Guest 28 and, depending if you count side books. Host this is a nonfiction book. A novel. Is is but we did was say, you know from the soviet archives that they had about 500 agents in place in the American Government in the 1940s, some very high up. What it isis had two people are three people who were loyal to isis but insignificant american positions. For example, they were in the fbi hierarchy, the department of Homeland Security . How dangerous would that be and how could that affect things . Ande started from there developed a novel, which is very fastpaced, and gives you a real sense of how real the terrorist threat is an brings up things like what has happened in france, belgium, germany, and reason into an american story. I think people find it entertaining and sheer fastpaced writing, but also, they will see some things about your accuracy, politics, and terrorism that i think will be helpful in furthering the national conversation. Host Vice President joe biden this morning indicating the u. S. Is preparing her a possible cyber attack strategy against russia. Will we . Should re . Should we . Guest we should be careful. Knowledge, there is no proof that the russians are engaged in a cyber attack strategy and if it involves hacking, the National Security agency is the leading hacker on the planet and we do a lot of stuff to learn about what foreign leaders are doing. Host you bring your own stuffed animal. What is this about . Guest there have now been six history books for eightyearolds, and it is where they teach them American History and our newest one is hail to the chief, where it introduces american president s and the created an plush toy elephant made in america. Little kids love it, so i thought i would get along and have show and tell. Host you brought it on Sean Hannitys program. Guest he was startled. I called him after and he said, in the middle of an election you, you bring up a toy elephant . I said, yes, he is cute. Host in missouri, good morning. Go ahead. Caller thank you. Voice, thank you the cspan. Tos is all about temperament me. Very much so temperament. I think donald trump has the temperament. I do not care what he says. He does not have the temperament. Guest i think that is a very serious issue and one that trump over the next couple of weeks has to continue to gain ground on. It is also to the stories about Hillary Clinton blowing up and being angry. The most recent story about throwing a glass of water at one of her staff immediately after the National Security debate, when she was really, really unhappy. Those things are there. Their challenge we have is an amateur and trump was a brandnew outsider, never in politics, and great strengths and weaknesses. You have a professional Hillary Clinton, who first got involved with Joe Liebermans senate race 40 years ago, but she and her husband have a record of corruption and dishonesty so great that if you take that to the white house, it is not a test of temperament. It is a test of whether the will of law will survive. I think people do have serious conversations and a decision to make. Which of these two risks is greater and which is a larger threat to the United States . In my case, i am convinced the more we learn from wikileaks, the more we learn from watching what is going on, the danger of the clintons corrupting the entire system is so great that im willing to take the risk of temperamental trump. That does not mean it is a sure thing. He will be different. He wants someone who will be a change agent. Change agents are different, whether it is steve jobs creating apple or whether it is henry ford inventing the automotive. These changes are different than corporate c rise within the system. Host if elected, i asked terry oneill, too, would you served within the administration . Guest i would wreck with
