Seen it. He has uncanny ability to connect with their hopes and their desires. And like reagan, he reminds americans that what makes us special is our people. Its our freedom. Its not our government. And as for the socalled smart educated people who are now criticizing trump, i have a few questions. Was it smart to enact policies that ended up enriching the repressive regime in china at the expense of american workers, American Companies and American Security . And was it smart to leave our borders open like swiss cheese allowing illegals to stream into the United States, taking american jobs, Sad Ling Taxpayers with the cost of educating them, housing them, providing them with healthcare . Was it smart to get into some wars that ended up draining our country of trillions of dollars, took the lives of so many of our finest Men And Women . Was it smart to explode our foreign population not through a smart merit based Immigration System but through the ludicrous policy
polling and focus groups and discussions of how to say things that would make you popular against enormous odds by taking on the twoparty duopoly the elites of both parties who have, lets face it, run the country into the ground. Is he a genius. Laura maybe he doesnt pull over the latest biography or have platos book on his table big deal. He had great school. He never pretended to be a great academic. Not many people are. What did he do . He exposed and named the pretenders, those elites in politics, media and business who helped drive america in to a ditch no matter how badly their policies and ideas failed the people. Those fraudsters are almost never held accountable. Tired of seeing america lose, trump revealed their agendas, he named them, and
he made us see them to be the fraud that they are. And by the way, they have been vengeful ever since furious . Whats the point of being smart if you never learn. Trump Somebody Someone needed to step up to be the voice of forgotten Men And Women. He beat all those campaigners with their focus group talking points and slick ad campaigns. Its smart to put americans and their interests first. Donald trump is still out there listening to the people who count, you. I was in new york at a big event recently, and i take a lot of pictures with police and with firemen and with the military and one of the policemen came up, an officer and he said sir, i want to thank you, my 401 k is through the roof. My wife thinks im a brilliant investor. I have never seen anything like this. My wife is so happy. My family is so happy. Laura dumb . I dont think so. He is telling the stories that people want to hear. Personalizing, sterile statistics, charts and graphs. Real antidotes and though, you know, i have got to say thinking about dumb, i would feel pretty dumb if i had been one of those g. O. P. Donors snickered into writing a milliondollar check into jeb bushs super pac. Put down a payment on a house in georgetown because i was sure Hillary Clinton would win and i would be working in her administration there is a brilliance in trumps political strategy. Perhaps its greatest instinct was a simple message that resonated most with his core supporters. Build the wall that promise was sacrosanct and helped him get elected. The best thing trump can do is stick to his Core Campaign promises, especially that one. He is not going to fall, i dont think, for what the failed elites might be trying to sell him. They may have more political experience and a lot of them do, but he has better
instincts than most of them and most americans will see that his thinking is exactly the type of unconventional thinking that at times is disruptive that we need right now. And thats the angle. Joining me now for reaction is newt gingrich, former speaker of the house and a fox news contributor. Newt, its so good to have you back from rome. How are you . Are you perpetually jet lagd . Thats my question to you. No, no. Its fun. Laura lets talk about what they are trying to do, the usual suspect, you know all of them. You saw that tedious montage. Trump is not smart. He is dumb. He doesnt read. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Whats going on here . I mean the same people who have been passionately avoiding reality for three years are now entering a new year passionately avoiding reality. You know, there is a whole series of these things where im working on a book right now called trumps america. There is a whole chapter of how wrong they are. Whether its somebody saying he couldnt possibly be
elected, a number of people who said the stock market is going to crash the minute is he sworn. In you go back and you pick these people up. I have a standard rule. If i look at the Sunday Morning shows and all of the wonderful Elite Washington figures have agreeed that the sky is going to be blue. My assumption immediately is its not because they are wrong so often. Lets take a case of the current. There
thought he made the putts and forgot that in fact it was helpful to have tiger woods. Laura as long as he didnt drive the car in alaska. The problem tiger had. If you think about it bannon thought that he had the skills that trump has. Laura he might run for president. Reports that he could be running for president. He will get 3 . And be part of the continuation. I think actually this experience probably eliminates most of his support financially. Laura john cornyn senator for texas said the falling out for bannon may be a good thing for the republican party. What im worried is the ricochet thing. Bannon is a conservative populist. I agree with him on almost every issue. Is he smart. Is he a student of history. Your honor whats behind these quotes. Im not going to get into that i dont want trump to take the bannon problem and take the lesson from that being im not going to do these issues that, you know that we agreed on together. I think they are they were good together. Im not saying bannon was trump. Trump, trump. They were good together. First of all i think steve miller. Laura im trying to mend fences for people. Good luck. Laura well, what can i do . Im trying. First of all, Steven Miller is the heart of. Laura love him. Right. And he has all of bannons upside and none of his downside. Laura quiet. He is there doing his job every single day. I have think he probably channels trump better than anybody in the country. Second, i actually have this is like reagan. I remember as early as the summer of 82 conservatives going to lunch and heritage going oh my god reagan is selling us out. I have enormous Faith Reagan Is reagan and trump is trump. He believes in this stuff. He believes in deregulation and cutting taxes. I dont worry about bannon leaving as long as trump stays. Laura sessions a couple congressman, meadows and jordan says sessions should probably step aside. Might be time for him to step aside. What do you think about that . I think the Attorney General Sessions ought to have a very serious review of what he is doing. He has a department that has enormous problems. He cant recuse himself from all those problems and he ought to be if he were still in the senate, he would be really angry at him as Attorney General. And i like jeff a lot. And. Laura me too. I hope he will decide that he is going to clean house and get the job done. Laura they are opening up a couple new investigations. We will see. Newt gingrich love having you on. Give my best to your do you call her ambassador or ambassadorress. She prefers you call her calista. Laura tell her i said hi. The sudden feud between bannon and the president we just talked about took another surprising turn today. We will talk to someone who has not spoken out on this

Laura speculation is swirling that steve bannon could soon be out at breitbart after President Trump said his former top aide had, quote, lost his mind. That followed the prerelease excerpt from a book that claimed bannon had called a june 2016 meeting between trump and Campaign Staff and some russians, the russian lawyer as treason news and unpatriotic. Many people quoted in the Book Fire And Fury by Michael Wolff are denying making critical comments about the president or his staff. Bannon has not. So lets turn to someone who was there. Bannons, you know, deputy during the president ial
campaign, New York Times best selling coauthor of let trump be trump congratulations to dave bossie. Great to see you. How are you doing, man. Im great. Thank you for having me. Laura you are not in the white house. I am happy that our book is doing well. Laura so happy for you. Lets talk about Whats Going On here the left is treating this like manna from heaven. Book is now out tomorrow. They have set up the publication. This is like a pr this is a pr dream for every writer. The white house book shouldnt come out. Threatening to sue. Whats happened . This book seems to be National Enquirer on steroids. Laura none of it is true. Its sensational journalism. Its not journalism. Im concerned about what is true and what isnt true. This author has a history of
taking liberties with things. Im deeply concerned about what My Friend Steve Bannon has said to this person. Laura he wasnt even at the campaign when this meeting took place. And the thing that meeting unpatriotic, fairly standard meeting anybody who is involved in a campaign. Laura treasonous has legal prerequisite. Don jr. Is a very patriotic man. I have spent a lot of time with him. He is the furthest thing from that. I take great umbrage. Laura he has not denied the comments but he also today said that like nothing is going to come between the trump agenda and me or breitbart setting him aside though, why would the white house think it was a good idea to allow Michael Wolff to park himself in the west wing lobby many times so
forth. Waiting for interviews. And then basically he was given cart blanche to talk to top aides. I know that because they have told me that. They were told by one individual who was, i guess, speaking for the president , talked to x,y, z and all tiewx. He has tapes. Laura the president said he had tapes too. That just came to mind. Wolf is somebody who did have access. Laura why think Michael Wolff is going to do anything to help the trump agenda or frankly be fair. He was never going to be. Laura i dont know why they did that . Its one of the biggest mistakes. Now we are off the agenda. We are not talking about the successful tax reform. Laura we next segment. I hope so. The president just has the momentum coming out of his Tax Reform Package and the great bill and the economy is steaming along and then
we get. Laura steve bannon lost his mind. Look steve has his own views. I did the Whole Ingraham Angle about the smarts of donald trump how he outfoxed everyone. Great political instincts. Best political instincts i have ever seen. Laura dont keep the news cycle going on a topic thats not helping you. I get it you want to defend yourself, i understand that. I get that. He is the best counter puncher we have ever seen. Laura also dont punch down. You dont. But when this book, these people, the Mainstream Media want to use everything at their disposal, the other Cable Networks are just salivating over it. Laura they are just selling more books now. Thats all they are doing. Thats what the game is about. Make no about it. Its to fill Michael Wolffs pockets. Laura i didnt speak to Michael Wolff. I didnt speak to him. You didnt see a quote from me there. I dont talk to those people. I didnt see the book yet. Laura i know im not quoted. Lets talk about the elites
criticism of donald trump as disengaged as uninformed as now they are making the argument that he could have neurological problems. These articles are actually not appearing just in leftwing web sites either. But its a joke. The president is incredibly welleducated, wellread and very smart guy. You dont get to be president of the United States if you are not. Laura dave bossie, congratulations on the book. So proud of you. It was a page turner. I gave a couple copies for christmas by the way. I still got to get to you sign them. Thanks so much. And,. They are the dreamers. This must be done now. There is an urgent need. Obama couldnt do it. Bush couldnt do it. I think you can do it. There is a deal to be had. You want it bad enough, we will get it. We need a physical border wall. We are going to have a wall, remember that. We are going to have a wall. Laura as can you here jousting continues over creating a daca compromise. The president is determined to have a border wall and real enforcement. To give you a sense of whats at stake in the high cost of illegal immigration lets go to Don Rosenberg in call bass is a, california. His son drew was killed in a 2010 car crash by an illegal immigrant. He entered the country illegally. He was from honduras and ultimately given legal status because of that hurricane. When he came in, he came in illegally. Now you dont have your son. Don, its always good to see you. But my heart always breaks for you anew every time i do see you because i know when you start Hearing Republicans obsess over amnesty for 800,000 people brought here when they were young, its got to just wear on you. Well, laura, thanks for having me. It certainly does. Its hard to believe that
americans are willing to sacrifice other americans both jobs, lives, in deference to people ha are in the country illegally. And certainly its all the democrats and now got a lot of republicans coming on board, too. Its absolutely outrageous and the Public Shouldnt Stand for it. Laura you know, when i speak with families who have been so brutally affected by the scourge of illegal immigration, they have repeatedly said from california to nevada to texas, no one even bothered to ask us questions before donald trump. They didnt talk to us. They didnt sit down with us. They didnt give us a hug. Didnt hear from President Obama. Didnt hear from george w. Bush. Trump was it for them. Finally they had a voice. Well, yeah. You couldnt be more accurate than that. I can tell from you so many of the people that im now friends with, because we
have lost somebody, you know, back in the obama days we wrote to him. I wrote to him twice. I had the letter delivered by someone in jeh johnsons staff, never even a condolence response back. I have written to many senators and congressman, no response think just ignore us. Same with the media. New york times, chicago tribune. Any of the tribune publications. They will run story after story. Heart breaking story that some illegal alien being deported and all they did was embezzling money and then somebody gets killed. You will find it nowhere in the paper. Laura i call those immigration sob stories. I do them regularly on the radio. Every illegal immigrant is a valedictorian or has rescued a cat from a tree. There is never an illegal imin most of these News Accounts thats ever so much as jay walked. Okay. So your stories, you know, the robberies, you know, and so when donald trump originally made that point, you know, talked about rape and so forth, they didnt like the way he phrased it but what he was getting at is, you are not receiving the full story on this. Im going to tell the story of those Men And Women and their families who have been so horrifically affected because these politicians havent done their job. And i got to say, republicans, democrats watching this, your solemn duty is to the american people. The american people. Not to the people of other countries who came here illegally but to legal immigrants and to american citizens. Donald trump understands that i dont think he is going to you know, sell out people on immigration. If he does, he is over anyway. He is going to be done. If he sells us out on immigration, donald trump will not be reelected president of the United States. I can tell you that right now. I am talking as someone who is a great supporter of his. The problem is that the
public doesnt really know Whats Going On because they are not being told. Kate stein solid killed and half the country thinks she is the first person ever killed by illegal i will alien and the other half of the country never heard of her. The reality is we are talking over 50,000 deaths sips the last Immigration Reform and now they want to do the same thing. Laura no, no, no. It cant be the promise of enforcement and immediate amnesty. It never works. It didnt work before and wont work now. By the way you dont want to miss this next segment. A little notice story that could turn into huge news. And what fox news can now confirm about the reopening of, you got it, the Hillary Clinton email investigation next. Really passionate about i really want to
