  • Summary

  • Newt Gingrich’s glory lasts for about six weeks. Once he’s the center of attention, the majority of Americans don’t like what they see. He makes missteps as House Speaker, and by 1999, he has resigned and left Congress. But today, his legacy has far outlasted his time in the House — and he’s still making waves. How should we understand his impact on politics today? As the U.S. deals with partisanship, gridlock, and anti-Democratic forces in the Republican Party — how much credit or blame does Gingrich deserve? Steve talks with three longtime political observers: John Podhoretz, Eleanor Clift and Susan Page.

If you want in-depth analysis of US politics listen to Kurnacki

As always an insightful look at the impact Newt had on the modern Republican party and how the blockade called Congress came into being. If you want to understand how MAGA took over the Republican party this is a good start.
