LARRY: ALL RIGHT, FORMER SPEAKER, AND MY DEAR FRIEND NEWT GINGRICH SAID PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS HAD AN AMAZING NINE DAYS, QUOTE, WE JUST LIVED THROUGH A TRULY HISTORIC OF UNPREDICTABLE AND PROFOUNDLY DYNAMIC EVENTS. EVEN AS I LIVE THROUGH THEM I COULDN'T PROCESS EVERYTHING THAT WAS HAPPENING IMMEDIATELY. BOY, DO I AGREE WITH ALL THAT. JOINS US NOW, NEWT GINGRICH, FORMER SPEAKER AND FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR. NEWT, IT WAS INFORMATION SHOCK, THAT'S FOR SURE BUT I MEAN, THE HEADLINE TO ME, I JUST UNLEASH YOU ON THIS THOUGHT, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, MR. TRUMP RVIVED AN ASSASSIN'S BULLET BY THE MILLIMETER, GRACE OF GOD, AS FORMER PRESIDENT SAID BUT IT GOES INTO WHAT I THOUGHT, THE MOST POSITIVE, REMARKABLE, GOOD VIBE, GROWTHY REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION, PROBABLY THE BEST ONE WE'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. BY THE WAY THE RNC CONVENTION WAS SEW GOOD, IT WAS A KNOCKOUT PUNCH AND JOE BIDEN FOR THE DEMOCRATS. THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BY THAT CONVENTION. I LEAVE IT LEAVE IT TO YOU, YOU CAN TAKE THE BIT AND RUN WITH IT, MR. SPEAKER. >> WELL, THIS WAS MY NINTH CONVENTION. FIRST OF ALL I DON'T THINK YOU CAN OVERSTATE THE PROVIDENTIAL NATURE OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SURVIVAL. HE IS LOOKING OVER HERE. HE COMES BACK AT EXACTLY THE RIGHT, SO THE BULLET WHICH WOULD HAVE HIT HIM IN THE HEAD HITS HIS EAR. HE COULD HAVE BEEN DEAD. WE WOULD BE IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT COUNTRY AT THIS POINT. THAT REALLY SET THE STAGE FOR EVERYTHING. IN ALL NINE CONVENTIONS THIS WAS THE MOST UNIFIED, THE MOST ENTHUSIASTIC AND I THOUGHT VERY PROFESSIONALLY DONE. CALISTA AND I WERE BOTH GIVEN A CHANCE TO TALK TO THE CONVENTION AND THE COUNTRY. SHE DID ON RELIGIOUS LIBERTY AND I DID ON NATIONAL SECURITY AND FOREIGN POLICY AND THE PEOPLE WERE VERY ATTENTIVE. THEY WANTED TO LEARN, THEY WANTED TO BE INVOLVED. THEY KNEW HOW HISTORIC THIS WAS GOING TO BE. I THINK JD VANCE'S INTRODUCTION WAS VERY EFFECTIVE. HIS WIFE WAS CHARMING, ALTHOUGH I HAVE TO SAY I THINK THAT TY TRUMP, THE THE GRANDDAUGHTER PROBABLY STOLE THE SHOW BUT NET EFFECT WAS VERY POWERFUL AND SET THEM UP. ON SUNDAY, WE WERE TOTALLY RELAXED, EVERYTHING WAS CALM, ALL OF SUDDEN CALISTA SAYS, OH BY THE WAY BIDEN JUST WITH DREW. I THOUGHT IT WAS "THE BABYLON BEE." TO HAVE SOMETHING POSTED ON "X." LARRY: YEAH. >> IT'S CRAZY. LARRY: JUST LIKE THAT. >> SO HERE WE ARE. LARRY: YES, HERE WE ARE. >> THEN, AND THEN WE ACQUIRED A SAN FRANCISCO RADICAL AS THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE. SO IT'S GOING TO BE WILD. LARRY: A COUPLE QUICK BULLETS ON THIS, THERE IS SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT, SUBSTANTIVELILY I THOUGHT MR. TRUMP'S PLATFORM AND SPEECH, NOW, THE FIRST PART OF THAT SPEECH WAS INCREDIBLE, WHAT HE DESCRIBED, WHAT HE NARRATED THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION BUT, NEWT, BEYOND THAT, MUCH HAS BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT THAT, NOT SO MUCH WRITTEN ABOUT THE FACT THAT TRUMP GAVE PROBABLY THE GROWTHIEST SPEECH I EVER HEARD, EVEN GOING BACK TO REAGAN. TIME AND TIME AGAIN TRUMP TALKED ABOUT CUTTING TAXES. AT ONE POINT HE TALKERRED ABOUT THE LAFFER CURVE, REVENUE WENT UP AFTER WE CUT TAXES. DRILL, BABY, DRILL, DEREGULATION AND GROWTH, GROWTH, GROWTH. THAT IS A VERY STRONG STATEMENT AND I THINK GROWTH PEOPLE WIN. REDISTRIBUTIONISTS LOSE. I THINK TAX CUTTERS WIN AND TAX HIKERS LOSE. WHAT DO YOU THINK? >> WELL I THINK FIRST OF ALL THAT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE SHOULD MAKE A HUGE EFFORT TO GET THE PLATFORM IN THE HANDS OF EVERY AMERICAN. IT IS VERY SHORT. IT WAS PERSONALLY EDITED BY TRUMP. LARRY: YES. >> AND IT IS HIS STATEMENT AND IT'S VERY EFFECTIVE. I THINK YOU WILL FIND THAT VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING IN THERE, AS YOU KNOW, WE RUN A PROJECT CALLED AMERICA'S NEW MAJORITY PROJECT. VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING IN THAT PLATFORM TRACKS WITH WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OVERWHELMINGLY BELIEVE. THE BETTER IT IS UNDERSTOOD, THE BETTER REPUBLICANS WILL DO THIS FALL. SECOND I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT REAGAN REALLY CAPTURED SUPPLY-SIDE ECONMICS BUT REAGAN WAS NOT AN ENTREPRENEUR. TRUMP REALLY GETS THE GROWTH THING AND TRUMP REALLY UNDERSTANDS THAT YOU CAN BRING THIS COUNTRY BACK TOGETHER IF EVERYBODY'S WORKING, IF INCOMES ARE GOING UP, IF THERE ARE MORE GOODS AND SERVICES AND SO I THINK HE HAS A VISION OF A VERY DYNAMIC, VERY POSITIVE AMERICAN FUTURE. I THINK THE MORE HE COMMUNICATES THAT PARTICULARLY, IF YOU CONTRAST IT WITH KAMALA HARRIS'S SAN FRANCISCO RADICALISM, HER DESIRE TO RAISE TAXES, HER DESIRE TO KILL THE ENERGY INDUSTRY, GO DOWN THE LIST OF EVERYTHING SHE BELIEVES, SHE IS FAR AND AWAY THE MOST RADICAL NOMINEE IN DEMOCRATIC PARTY HISTORY INCLUDING GEORGE McGOVERN. SHE IS MORE RADICAL THAN McGOVERN WOULD HAVE BEEN. LARRY: BY THE WAY McGOVERN LATER IN LIFE, WHEN HE BECAME AN INN KEEPER IN NEW ENGLAND, BECAME A CAPITALIST. TALKED ABOUT IT AT SOME LENGTH. I INTERVIEWED HIM ONCE OR TWICE ON A DIFFERENT NETWORK. IS THIS NOT THE GEORGE McGOVERN I LEARNED WHEN I WAS A CHILD? ANYWAY, NEWT GINGRICH -- >> HE WROTE A GREAT "WALL STREET JOURNAL" ARTICLE EXPLAINING THAT HE HAD BEEN WRONG. LARRY: [LAUGHTER]. I'M SORRY. NEWT GINGRICH, YOU'RE THE BEST
