LAST NIGHT MEGYN KELLY AND NEWT GINGRICH GOT INTO IT.
NEWT GINGRICH IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE FOCUS ON THAT PARTICULAR
ISSUE IN THE CAMPAIGN RIGHT NOW.
AND HIS ATTEMPT TO PIVOT TO A DIFFERENT TOPIC IS HILARIOUS.
BEFORE WE GET TO THE PIVOT, HERE IS WHAT SETS NEWT GINGRICH OFF.
LET ME POINT OUT SOMETHING TO YOU.
SURE.
THE THREE MAJOR NETWORKS SPENT 23
MINUTES ATTACKING DONALD TRUMP THAT NIGHT, AND 57
SECONDS ON HILLARY CLINTON AND HER SPEECHES.
YOU DON'T THINK THIS IS A SCALE OF BIAS?
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY DONALD TRUMP ñ
IF TRUMP IS A SEXUAL PREDATOR ñ
HE'S NOT A SEXUAL PREDATOR.
I AM NOT TAKING A POSITION ON THAT.
I AM SO TIRED OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU USING LANGUAGE THAT IS
INFLAMMATORY THAT IS NOT TRUE.
EXCUSE ME MR.
SPEAKER, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER IT IS TRUE
OR NOT.
WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT THERE ARE ñ
AND NEITHER DO YOU.
THAT'S RIGHT, AND NEITHER DO YOU.
AND I'M NOT TAKING A POSITION ON IT UNLIKE YOU.
I THINK THAT IS EXACTLY THE BIAS PEOPLE ARE UPSET BY.
I THINK THAT YOUR DEFENSIVENESS ON THIS MAY SPEAK
VOLUMES, SIR.
I THINK THAT IT JUST DID.
THAT IS THE SET UP.
NEWT GINGRICH IS GOING TO HAVE SOME SORT OF DEFENSE.
BEFORE WE GO TO THE TWO CLIPS, PREPARE TO GET SHOCKED.
I AM GOING TO DEFEND NEWT GINGRICH ON THREE DIFFERENT
GROUNDS HERE.
ULTIMATELY HE IS CERTAINLY WRONG ABOUT THE SUBSTANCE AND CONTENT.
BUT I WANT TO POINT OUT SOME THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN THE
MEDIA WERE NEWT IS NOT WRONG ABOUT SOME STYLISTIC POINTS.
LET'S GO TO THE SECOND CLIP.
HILLARY CLINTON HAD A SECRET SPEECH IN BRAZIL TO A BANK
THAT PAYED HER A LOT SAYING THAT HER DREAM IS AN OPEN BORDER WERE
600 MILLION PEOPLE COULD COME TO AMERICA.
THAT IS THAT WORTH COVERING?
THAT IS WORTH COVERING.
YOU ARE FASCINATED WITH SEX AND YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT PUBLIC
POLICY.
ME?
REALLY?
THAT'S WHAT I GET OUT OF TALKING TO YOU TONIGHT.
MR.
SPEAKER, I AM NOT FASCINATED BY SEX.
BUT I AM ABOUT THE PROTECTION OF WOMEN
AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE ARE GETTING IN THE OVAL OFFICE AND I
THINK THE AMERICAN VOTERS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.
THEN WERE GOING TO SEND BILL CLINTON BACK TO THE EAST WING,
BECAUSE AFTER ALL YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT SEXUAL PREDATORS.
WHAT?
NOT ME, IT'S ABOUT THE WOMEN AND MEN OF AMERICA.
THE POLL NUMBERS SHOW US THAT THE WOMEN OF AMERICA ARE
VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THESE ALLEGATIONS.
I LIKE YOUR RESPONSE ABOUT THE SEX ALLEGATIONS.
I ENJOYED MEGYN KELLY PICKING HIM APART.
SHE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DELIVER ANOTHER BLOW WHEN
NEWT GINGRICH SAYS YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT SEXUAL PREDATORS,
ARE YOU GOING TO SEND BILL CLINTON BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
THAT IS THE SAME TIME THAT NEWT GINGRICH WAS HAVING ALL
THOSE DIFFERENT AFFAIRS AND HE WAS GOING AFTER BILL
CLINTON FOR HAVING AFFAIRS.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE IS A PREDATOR, BUT APPARENTLY A
BIT FASCINATED ABOUT THE TOPIC.
NEWT, YOU ARE FAMOUSLY CHEATING ON YOUR WIFE WHILE
TRYING TO PROSECUTE BROOKLYN FOR CHEATING ON HIS WIFE.
I'M NOT SURE THAT YOU ARE THE GUY TO BRING THIS TOPIC UP
FROM YOUR GLASSHOUSE.
THAT PART OF IT I THINK IS TERTIARY TO ME.
FIRST OF ALL, IT IS PRETTY DISCUSSING THAT HE SAYS YOU
ARE FASCINATED BY SEX.
THE TOPIC IS NOT SEX.
IT'S NOT PEOPLE'S FAVORITE POSITIONS OR FOREPLAY.
IT'S ABOUT SEXUAL ASSAULTS.
THAT IS NOT ABOUT SEX, THAT IS ABOUT ASSAULT.
THIS ISN'T THE SAME AS SOME SORT OF BATHROOM HOOK UP.
THIS IS SOMEONE ON CONSENSUALLY ASSAULTING ANOTHER HUMAN BEING.
THE FACT THAT HE ONLY SEES IT AS YET MORE SEX SAYS MORE ABOUT HIM
THAN IT DOES ABOUT HER.
HOLD FOR THE DEFENSIVE NEWT GINGRICH.
ONE MORE CLIP.
I WANT TO HEAR THE WORDS BILL CLINTON SEXUAL PREDATOR.
I DARE YOU.
SAY IT.
MR.
SPEAKER, WE HAVE COVERED ñ EXCUSE ME SIR ñ
BEEN DISBARRED ñ $850,000 PENALTY.
EXCUSE ME, WE HERE ON THE KELLY FILE HAVE COVERED THE
CLINTON MATTER AS WELL.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LEAVE IT AT
THAT AND YOU CAN TAKE YOUR ANGER ISSUES AND SPEND SOME TIME
WORKING ON THEM, MR.
SPEAKER.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
AND YOU TOO.
YOU CAN TELL SHE WANTED TO USE DIFFERENT WORDS.
NEWT GINGRICH IS WRONG ON THE SUBSTANCE AND THE CONTENT.
BUT SHE DOES HAVE A SNIDE MAINSTREAM MEDIA ATTITUDE
THAT DOES BOTHER ME.
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET UPSET, BUT LET ME EXPLAIN.
NUMBER ONE, HE IS RIGHT ABOUT THE FRAMING.
SHE THINKS THAT TRUMP IS A SEXUAL PREDATOR, WHICH HE IS.
I DON'T DISAGREE WITH HER.
SHE IS PERHAPS BIASED IN BELIEVING THE 11
WOMEN BUT OF CLAIM SEXUAL ASSAULTS.
REMEMBER ROGER AILES SEXUALLY HARRASSED MEGYN KELLY.
THAT IS AN UNBELIEVABLE THING TO SAY ABOUT A NEWS ANCHOR.
SHE IS RIGHT ABOUT ALL THAT, BUT SHE IS FRAMING HIM AS A
SEXUAL PREDATOR.
FOR HER TO CLAIM I DIDN'T SAY HE WAS, I JUST SAID IF HE IS,
WHAT ARE YOU GETTING ALL UPSET FOR?
THAT IS TRUE.
THAT IS A SMALL DEFENSE OF NEWT GINGRICH.
THAT IS AN OLD-SCHOOL MAINSTREAM MEDIA TRICK.
CNN DID IT TO ME, AND ON THAT SAME CONTEXT OBVIOUSLY.
WHEN I WAS ON WITH ñ
UNRELIABLE SOURCES WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON.
MY CONCERNS WITH HER FROM A PROGRESSIVE PERSPECTIVE AND
THEY SAID SO YOU ARE AGAINST THE HISTORIC ELECTION OF THE
FIRST WOMAN.
AND I SAID I DIDN'T SAY THAT.
SO ñ
IT WOULD BE THE SAME THING IF YOU CLEARLY WERE AGAINST
THE FIRST WOMAN BEING ELECTED IN ANY CONTEXT BECAUSE HE IS A
SEXUAL PREDATOR.
THE QUESTION MATTERS ALMOST AS MUCH IS THE ANSWER.
A LOT OF TIMES IT IS ABOUT THE FRAMING.
SO WHAT MEGYN KELLY IS DOING THEIR IS FRAMING THE ISSUE
AS LET'S GET REAL, YOU ARE DEFENDING A SEXUAL PREDATOR.
THAT PUTS NEWT GINGRICH IN A HARD POSITION.
I WOULD ARGUE REALITY HAS PUT HIM IN A DIFFICULT POSITION.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH IT, JUST BE
UPFRONT ABOUT IT.
SHE WOULD BE MORE LIKE US IF SHE DID THAT.
AND THEN SHE SAID I GUESS YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO YOUR ANGER
MANAGEMENT ISSUES, OKAY, BULLSHIT.
PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO GET MAD.
YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT ANGER MANAGEMENT ISSUES, THAT
HALF YOUR NETWORK SHOULD BE IN COUNSELING.
BILL O'REILLY, SEAN HANNITY.
I KNOW SHE'S AGAINST THOSE GUYS NOW.
BUT IT IS A SNIDE WAY FOR SOMEONE TO THROW THE FIRST
PUNCH WITH THE FRAMING, AND THEN WHEN THE GUY PINCHES BACK
SAY WHAT YOU GETTING ALL UPSET FOR?
IT IS AN OLD REPUBLICAN TRICK.
I LOVE THAT SHE USES IT AGAINST ANOTHER REPUBLICAN AND SET
UP A BOOBY-TRAP FOR HIM.
FOR THE 18TH TIME, I AGREE WITH HER ON THE SUBSTANCE.
THESE ARE TRICKS, JUST KEEPING IT REAL WITH YOU.
I AGREE WITH BOTH OF THOSE.
ALL OF THAT IS TRUE, HE IS STILL WRONG ON THE CORE OF THE ISSUE.
SO WHAT IS YOUR THIRD DEFENSE?
IT DOES GET A LITTLE BIT MORE TOWARDS THE CORE WHICH IS
NEWT GINGRICH IS CLAIMING ON THE PROPORTION OF TIME SPENT ON
THIS ISSUE.
WE HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON IT, EVERYONE ELSE HAS.
I'M NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD SPEND LESS TIME ON THE TRUMP
TAPES BECAUSE THEY ARE AMAZING.
THEY ARE AN INSIGHT NOT ONLY TO HOW HE TREATS WOMEN, BUT
ALSO HIS SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT.
IT IS ENORMOUSLY RELEVANT TO THIS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
YOU SHOULD ALSO SPEND A TON OF TIME TALKING ABOUT THE EMAILS
FROM HILLARY CLINTON.
SHE SAYS THAT SHE DID.
I BELIEVE HER BECAUSE IT IS FOX NEWS, TO BE HONEST.
I HAVE NOT BEEN TRACKING THE KELLY FILES.
THEY CLAIM THAT SHE DOES HAVE DONE THAT PLENTY OF TIMES.
I AM TALKING ABOUT THE OVERALL POINT THAT HE IS MAKING
ABOUT THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA.
THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA HAVE ñ LIKE THE
BILL CLINTON ALLEGATIONS.
THAT IS OLD NEWS.
AND THEY DID COVER IT ENDLESSLY, INCLUDING RECENTLY.
GO BACK TO THE 1990S, THEY COVERED IT FOR A DECADE.
I AM WITH YOU ON THAT.
ON THE SUBSTANTIVE LIST EMAIL, THERE IS A TON OF STUFF TO COVER
THAT OVERALL YOU SEE ALMOST NOT AT ALL ON MAINSTREAM MEDIA.
IT IS NOT EVENHANDED, LET'S BE HONEST.
I REALLY DON'T WANT DONALD TRUMP TO WIN, I WOULD MUCH PREFER
HILLARY CLINTON, BUT IF YOU ARE IN THE NEWS BUSINESS THAT
IS NOT YOUR JOB.
AT LEAST FOR US WE HAVE PERSPECTIVE, THAT IS PART
OF OUR JOB.
BUT IF YOU WORK FOR CNN ñ
A COUPLE OF GUYS AT CNN SAY THEY DON'T VOTE.
HE SHOULD SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON THOSE EMAILS BECAUSE THEY
ARE FASCINATING NOT JUST BECAUSE IT IS HILLARY CLINTON,
ALTHOUGH TWO WEEKS BEFORE AN ELECTION IS RELEVANT, BUT
ALSO BECAUSE IT TELLS YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THE SYSTEM.
