6
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:17.960
<v Speaker 1>we try to not get political, but I do have

7
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.760
<v Speaker 1>a guest today that is definitely known for politics, and

8
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>he's got a new book out that has definitely something

9
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:25.800
<v Speaker 1>to do with politics. But we're not talking to him

10
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:28.519
<v Speaker 1>about politics. We're talking to him about a new book,

11
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>and we're excited to bring him back to the program.

12
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:32.479
<v Speaker 1>I had a chance to meet this gentleman many years

13
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>ago when he was in Sioux Falls, and I'm excited

14
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:36.759
<v Speaker 1>to talk to him. I don't know, third, fourth, fifth,

15
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.640
<v Speaker 1>sixth times, something like that. On the radio, mister Newt

16
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Gingrich number one New York Times bestselling author. He's got

17
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:46.280
<v Speaker 1>a brand new book out. It's called Trump's Triumph, America's

18
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Greatest Comeback. What number is this? Do you even know

19
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:50.600
<v Speaker 1>which number? You've got a bunch of books out.

20
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:52.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Somebody told me it's like number forty four.

21
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:57.399
<v Speaker 1>That is amazing, something like that, and best seller you've got.

22
00:00:57.479 --> 00:00:59.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, when you put out a book, people just

23
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>love them and they go out and buy them right up.

24
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>And let's talk about this newest book, Trump's Triumph, America's

25
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Greatest Comeback? And when did you start working on this

26
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:09.799
<v Speaker 1>and what does it take to put a book like

27
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:10.319
<v Speaker 1>this together.

28
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, we actually started writing it and thinking it through

29
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 2>in October because we were pretty sure Trump was going

30
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:18.000
<v Speaker 2>to win and we wanted to figure out how to

31
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.599
<v Speaker 2>make sense of it, and not just for Trump, but

32
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:24.200
<v Speaker 2>for America. That's why, Well, the title is Trump's Triumph.

33
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:28.000
<v Speaker 2>The subtitle is America's Greatest Comeback, not Trump's Greatest comeback.

34
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.280
<v Speaker 2>And we thought it was very important to recognize that

35
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:36.400
<v Speaker 2>it's the country that really came back. And you know,

36
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.319
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a very exciting story. Trump Triumph is

37
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:42.959
<v Speaker 2>actually partially about the past how do we get to

38
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:45.359
<v Speaker 2>hear and partially about the future. Where are we going

39
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.159
<v Speaker 2>to go now that Trump has won and the Mega

40
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.200
<v Speaker 2>movement has won? And I think that's an important part

41
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.640
<v Speaker 2>of the story. Is it's a dynamic It's not a

42
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.359
<v Speaker 2>polaroid shot that's a still life. It's a dynamic motion picture.

43
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>And the things are going to continue evolving intotinue unfolding,

44
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:02.519
<v Speaker 2>and I think it's very exciting.

45
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:04.439
<v Speaker 1>And I love that you are a student of history,

46
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.879
<v Speaker 1>and there's so many wonderful insights that you have on things.

47
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.680
<v Speaker 1>And one of the things that's fascinating. Trump is not

48
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>the first president to serve a split presidency twenty second

49
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.599
<v Speaker 1>and twenty fourth president Grover Cleveland. Also there are some

50
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>similarities there, aren't there.

51
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:25.159
<v Speaker 2>Well that it's true Cleveland won and then it was

52
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:29.039
<v Speaker 2>the first Democrat elected the Civil War and then lost

53
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 2>in a very narrow election, and then came back and

54
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 2>won again in eighteen ninety two. So when Trump ended

55
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 2>up out of office, I told him, you know, you

56
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.400
<v Speaker 2>ought to hang a picture of Grover Cleveland up because

57
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:46.639
<v Speaker 2>you're coming back. And so he is the second American

58
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 2>to be elected, lose the office, and then be re elected.

59
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.360
<v Speaker 2>And I think actually historians will look back and say

60
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:57.159
<v Speaker 2>that the four years in the wilderness profoundly changed Trump.

61
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:01.240
<v Speaker 2>He came back as a more energized, more focused, and

62
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:05.159
<v Speaker 2>bolder person, more deeply committed to changing the system, and

63
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.840
<v Speaker 2>with the enormous knowledge of how to do it.

64
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:11.879
<v Speaker 1>And when you talk about the system, think about you know,

65
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.800
<v Speaker 1>how things have always been done. And Trump has very

66
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.319
<v Speaker 1>much been kind of a non traditional candidate from the

67
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 1>very beginning, hasn't he.

68
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I think he started that way. I mean,

69
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.120
<v Speaker 2>Kliston and I first had breakfast with him to talk

70
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:30.719
<v Speaker 2>about running in February of twenty fifteen, and when he

71
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:35.319
<v Speaker 2>came down the long escalator on June fifteenth of twenty fifteen.

72
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, he was a business guy. He never run

73
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 2>for office, and so he took everything he'd learned in business,

74
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.240
<v Speaker 2>which was very customer oriented. He had had a TV

75
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:49.680
<v Speaker 2>show for thirteen years, and he understood a great deal

76
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.479
<v Speaker 2>about public opinion and about how to appeal to people,

77
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.759
<v Speaker 2>and people tend to forget. You know, he beat sixteen Republicans.

78
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.000
<v Speaker 2>When the race began, Jeb Bush was the front runner,

79
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.479
<v Speaker 2>and in a few months Trump had knocked him out.

80
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:07.400
<v Speaker 2>He was gone. And so from day one Trump kept

81
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:13.879
<v Speaker 2>applying an intuitive feel for everyday Americans that turned out

82
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:15.240
<v Speaker 2>to be enormously powerful.

83
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.639
<v Speaker 1>The new book, Trump's Triumph America's Greatest Comeback, is out

84
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:21.439
<v Speaker 1>right now from number one New York Times bestseller Newt

85
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 1>Gingrich and again, we think somewhere around forty fourth book,

86
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I know it's a bunch. When you put a book

87
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.600
<v Speaker 1>together like this, do you when what is that process like,

88
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:34.279
<v Speaker 1>do you envision you know exactly how it's going to

89
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>be laid out? Or does the book kind of build

90
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>itself while you're working on it.

91
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:39.519
<v Speaker 2>I think, well, before you start writing, you've had laid

92
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.399
<v Speaker 2>it out, but the book grows kind of organically. You

93
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 2>start with a big idea. We wanted to try to

94
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.800
<v Speaker 2>explain to the country what the meaning was of the election,

95
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 2>and that was why it's both backward looking and forward looking,

96
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.079
<v Speaker 2>because the backward looking part helps tell you how we

97
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:58.759
<v Speaker 2>got here, but the forward looking part helped give you

98
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 2>a flavor of you know, what would for more years

99
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 2>of Trump be like and what would it affect in

100
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:08.560
<v Speaker 2>the country. And then you sort of in my mind,

101
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.439
<v Speaker 2>both in my speeches or my interviews or in writing

102
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:13.879
<v Speaker 2>a book, I try to work from the audience back.

103
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>That is, you have to think about, you know, what

104
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:19.720
<v Speaker 2>are people in stare, what do people care about? What

105
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.240
<v Speaker 2>do people want to know about? And I felt that

106
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:25.160
<v Speaker 2>with Trump's triumph that there would be a real hunger

107
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.120
<v Speaker 2>both to understand how we got here because this is

108
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:32.040
<v Speaker 2>so historically unique, and to understand well, what does it

109
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.240
<v Speaker 2>mean for the future for my children, for my grandchildren,

110
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:37.959
<v Speaker 2>for my country. And that's why the book has a

111
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.560
<v Speaker 2>both backward and forward frame to it, So we're both

112
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.199
<v Speaker 2>telling you how we got to this second term, but

113
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.759
<v Speaker 2>then we're telling you where we think the second term

114
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:47.399
<v Speaker 2>is going to take you.

115
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:49.879
