March for Life Day in Washington D.C. on January 24, 2020. President Trump has taken office and is already hitting the ground running with executive orders and pardons to show his support for the pro-life community. Today is March for Life day and many Republican politicians want you to ignore what is happening at the march.

00:00:01.000The golden era continues with Newt Gingrich as we talk about the significance of President Trump taking office and also my favorite executive order that has gotten very little coverage.

00:01:34.000It is Friday, January 24th of the new Trump administration, and we are hitting the ground running as we are here in Washington, D.C. There's a lot happening here in the Imperial Capitol, the first of which is it is March for Life Day.
00:01:50.000March for Life brings in, you could say, hundreds of thousands of people from across the country to march for the unborn, to march for the most vulnerable.
00:01:59.000Now, for years, Republican politicians have been very skittish to engage on the issue of life.
00:02:05.000As you know, in this program, we are 100% pro-life and fight for the unborn, not just on this program, but on college campuses, the most difficult place to advance such values and such a worldview.
00:02:18.000For years, Republican politicians have talked a good game when it comes to abortion and pro-life, but they rarely ever did.
00:02:27.000They rarely ever made any policy decisions that were consequential in the fight for life.
00:02:37.000George W. Bush never even spoke at the March for Life.
00:02:41.000George W. Bush put people that were sympathetic with a pro-abortion agenda on the U.S. Supreme Court, such as John Roberts.
00:04:14.000And it was used intentionally by the Biden regime to go after faithful Christians who would pray outside of abortion clinics.
00:04:26.000It is called the FACE Act, the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.
00:04:32.000Now, even if you are somewhat pro-abortion or okay with abortion, you should be 100% against the FACE Act.
00:04:40.000The FACE Act basically carves out an unconstitutional island in America where people who want to say prayers outside of abortion clinics protected by the First Amendment are not allowed to do so.
00:04:55.000Meanwhile, if you want to protest, which is illegal, outside of a Supreme Court justice's home, the Department of Justice will not come after you.
00:05:06.000It says if you use physical force or threaten physical force to intentionally injure, intimidate, interfere with someone trying to get an abortion, okay, I get that, but that's not what actually ended up happening.
00:05:15.000The third one was that interfere by exercising their First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship.
00:05:23.000According to some anecdotal evidence from pro-life groups, the presence of people praying outside an abortion clinic can lead to a noticeable decrease.
00:05:31.000In the number of abortions, with some claiming a drop of up to 28% in certain situations.
00:05:38.000It has been a long-standing tradition for Christians to pray outside of abortion clinics.
00:05:44.000The FACE Act makes it a federal crime to do a left-wing style protest in exactly one place, an abortion clinic.
00:05:53.000Now, President Donald Trump was presented with these pro-life warriors.
00:05:58.000Who were targeted by the Biden regime for exercising their First Amendment rights.
00:06:05.000And to be clear, these people are on public property.
00:06:08.000This is a legitimate and legal protest.
00:07:35.000She did not do any massive BLM-type protest.
00:07:41.000But she got the most severe penalties imaginable.
00:07:45.000And President Donald Trump, in a courageous action, stands with the pro-life faithful in this country.
00:07:51.000She was a political prisoner because if you dare...
00:07:55.000Do anything outside of an abortion clinic that is left-wing blasphemy.
00:08:00.000It is against the national state-run religion of the Democrat Party.
00:08:04.000She was going to be stripped from her loving child and husband for nearly four years.
00:08:09.000And President Donald Trump deserves all the credit for this.
00:08:13.000I did what I could to try to vouch and push for this, but President Trump got lots of phone calls and lots of people, including many senators, like Senator Josh Hawley, and he delivered.
00:08:24.000Now, let me make a message to any pro-life warrior out there that might not have voted for Donald Trump, that might not have worked for Donald Trump.
00:09:23.000For any of some of the self-righteous activists who refuse to do anything to lift a finger for President Trump, not only were you wrong, you were actively helping the enemy.
00:09:36.000And some people say, oh, I was just honoring God.
00:09:39.000Helping Kamala Harris is not honoring God.
00:09:42.000Helping that former illegitimate regime that was gender mutilating our kids, keeping our borders wide open.
00:09:53.000Instead, those of you who did step up with courage and clarity to help President Donald Trump despite all the noise around you, you guys can rest easy and see these victories be delivered.
00:10:20.000While we may have won this election, the fight to restore our great nation is only beginning.

00:13:17.000The name of the executive order that will be in the archives 1,000 years from now, when historians are studying the United States of America, they're going to go through the presidential executive orders, and there will be an executive order that says putting people over fish.
00:13:44.000Within 90 days of this memorandum, the Secretary of Commerce and Interior shall report to me the progress made in implementing the policies in this memorandum.
00:13:51.000The moral clarity of Trump is so clear, which is that actually human beings matter more than little goldfish.
00:14:01.000President Donald Trump continued his executive order spree.
00:14:07.000This is one of my other favorites on day one.
00:14:10.000Promoting beautiful federal civic architecture.
00:14:17.000Everyone was talking about birthright citizenship or January 6th, and this one is very profound.
00:14:23.000You can tell a lot about a society based on the type of buildings that you erect.
00:14:30.000As you drive around this town, Washington, D.C., and you look at the Department of Energy or the Department of Education, They are indecipherable aesthetically from a federal prison.
00:14:58.000There is no ascension towards the divine.
00:15:02.000Now, I'm far from an expert in civic architecture, but I know two very basic rules.
00:15:07.000You try to have structures that point up towards the divine, and the circle is the perfect shape because there is no start and is no finish.
00:17:40.000So much to discuss, but first, I want to make sure that we discuss your new film coming out, which will premiere on PBS on January 14th at 10 p.m.
00:17:56.000Immigrants have come to America from around the world for many reasons.
00:18:00.000Some fled famine and poverty, others sought religious freedom, and some came to the possibility of a better life.
00:18:07.000My name is Henry Kissinger and I came to America in 1938. The promise of freedom and opportunity continues to be a powerful draw for those who make their journey to America.
00:18:21.000Mr. Speaker, tell us about this project.
00:18:24.000Well, I think I was inspired by Calista because her grandmother came to the United States legally from Poland through Ellis Island, as did something like 12 million other people.
00:18:36.000And so we believe deeply in legal immigration, and we are strongly opposed to illegal immigration.
00:18:43.000And we wanted to make the case that...
00:18:46.000People who have come here legally, some famous like Henry Kissinger, others like Maria Dome, who had been adopted from a Siberian orphanage and went on to become the first woman certified by the Marine Corps as a combat infantryman.
00:19:01.000All of them in their own unique way has made America a better, wealthier, more secure country.
00:19:07.000And it's important that we find ways to strengthen legal immigration at the very same time that we control the border and we deport people who are here illegally.
00:19:18.000We're very proud that PBS picked it up and that people can find it streaming at pbs.org.
00:19:24.000And I think they'll find that it's a very educational and at the same time a very interesting show.
00:19:31.000I love the premise and what an applicable segue to what we are now seeing and living through.
00:19:38.000I want to get into the deportations and of President Trump, what he's doing immigration-wise.
00:19:44.000But, Mr. Speaker, I have to get your historical analysis first.
00:19:46.000Let's just take an even greater step back and look more macro.
00:19:50.000On Monday, President Donald Trump took the oath of office in the Capitol Rotunda in the most triumphant political comeback in American history.
00:19:57.000Put this into words in a historical...
00:20:05.000You know, when Coles and I were in the rotunda, listening to the speech, it hit me that it's the most revolutionary inaugural address in American history.
00:20:15.000The next morning I went and read Jefferson's first and second inaugurals, Andrew Jackson's first inaugural, and Franklin Delano Rosso's first inaugural.
00:21:29.000The head of Saudi Arabia has pledged $600 billion in investments in the United States.
00:21:39.000And I think Trump has decided he's going to be probably the most consequential president other than Washington and Lincoln that we've had in American history.
00:21:50.000And he's certainly working at it pretty hard the first week.
00:21:54.000Mr. Speaker, I agree with all of that.
00:21:56.000I want to get your take on the lack of something.
00:22:45.000And maybe the most iconic moment was when he was shot.
00:22:49.000And stood up with his fist up in the air yelling fight, fight, fight.
00:22:53.000I think it took something out of his opponents to realize that you're dealing here not with a normal politician.
00:23:00.000You're dealing with a citizen who has become a juggernaut of history.
00:23:04.000Second, the fact that he won by more than two million votes and that he carried every single swing state, all seven of them, I think demoralized the left.
00:23:13.000Here they had thrown everything they could at him.
00:23:42.000Frankly, programs like yours or like Joe Rogan or like Fox News, all of these have become dramatically more important than the traditional elite media.
00:23:53.000And the result is that their revenue is going down.
00:24:23.000We've got to do well enough to keep the House in 26. We've got to do well enough to elect another Republican president in 28. And until we've done that...
00:24:33.000I think we're still in a gray zone where Trump's personality is carrying us, but we haven't yet quite solidified the country as a new MAGA-oriented traditional American country, which is where Trump is taking us.
00:24:48.000I think that is extremely wise, and President Trump does have a Washington-like quality, where Washington was larger than life.
00:24:57.000He would march straight into battle, as you well know, be shot at, and even shot.
00:25:01.000And there was almost an aura around him that made him largely culturally and politically invincible.
00:25:08.000You said something, though, that historians would scoff at in prior years, and now they're maybe reconsidering.
00:25:15.000You said he is attempting or on pace to be in the same sentence as Washington and Lincoln.
00:25:32.000Lincoln held the country together through a four-year civil war.
00:25:35.000So they're in a little different class.
00:25:36.000But if you go one layer below to Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Franklin Roosevelt, I have no doubt that Trump is going to end up...
00:25:45.000If he continues at this pace for four years and keeps the House and elects a successor, I have no doubt he will end up in a zone just below Washington and Lincoln and above people we've historically thought of as great presidents.
00:25:59.000And I think that if you watch his authenticity, I watched it the other night on Hannity, and they've known each other for 30 years.
00:26:10.000He's so much comfortable with himself that I think this is a very important moment.
00:26:16.000You know, Clist and I made two movies, one about John Paul II called Nine Days that Changed the World where he went back to Poland and the other movie about Reagan called Rendezvous of Destiny.
00:26:26.000And Reagan and John Paul II meet for the first time and they've both been shot.
00:26:31.000And part of their conversation is why did God spare us?
00:26:36.000And they concluded that God had spared them from the assassins so they could defeat the Soviet Empire.
00:26:41.000And they agreed on an alliance which worked to defeat the Soviet Empire.
00:26:46.000I think President Trump thought very deeply.
00:26:49.000I know Speaker Mike Johnson said after the second assassin was captured, Trump realized how really deep a problem and threat this was.
00:26:57.000And he and Trump went off to a room and prayed for two hours.
00:27:01.000Now, I think you're seeing a man who has been profoundly shaped by realizing that God saved him and that therefore he owes a different quality of duty than he would have thought.
00:27:40.000In total command and control of every room that he comes into.
00:27:44.000There's almost nothing that can surprise you once you've been shot, literally.
00:27:48.000At that point, what bad news article are they going to write about you?
00:27:52.000He's faced 700 years in federal prison.
00:27:54.000They tried to take his business empire away from him.
00:27:56.000And that word duty has been lost in American political virtue for quite some time.
00:28:05.000And the media deep down almost knows that Not only they've lost, but he kind of won in such a way that no matter how much they complain, they can't possibly stop him at this point, unless there's legislative issues, which we're going to talk about.
00:28:22.000Mr. Speaker, please plug the film one more time.
00:28:26.000Journey to America, you can find it on PBS.org.
00:28:29.000It's a great portrait of nine people who have made America a much better country.

00:31:59.000Mr. Speaker, what could go wrong at this point?
00:32:02.000What are the potential cautionary pitfalls you've been and seen a lot of presidencies that this administration needs to be cautious of and aware of?
00:32:10.000Well, look, I think, first of all, you have to have a certain level of humility.
00:32:17.000President Kennedy had a sign on his desk that said, oh, Lord, your ocean is so big and my boat is so small.
00:32:24.000And even if you're as big as President Donald Trump, the world is much, much bigger.
00:33:06.000And it's a country that has large sections of it being run by criminal gangs.
00:33:11.000So that's going to be a major concern.
00:33:14.000The biggest concern for, I think, for the president, the thing he has to focus on is the economy.
00:33:21.000It's vital to him to keep the House in 2026, and it's going to be a real fight.
00:33:27.000If the economy is growing, if there's a sense of a Trump boom, then I think he's got a good chance of keeping the House.
00:33:33.000If the economy is still floundering...
00:33:35.000Then I think there's a real likelihood we'll lose the House, and you'll end up with a Nancy Pelosi environment of Democrats obstructing, blocking, investigating, and possibly impeaching.
00:33:45.000So this is the central decision point, and that requires, in my judgment, passing a very, very strong bill, I think by Memorial Day, as Speaker Johnson said, or certainly no later than July the 4th, because it's got to go into effect.
00:34:10.000But to get the average American on board, they've got to see the taxes change, the regulations change, the economy growing.
00:34:17.000If that happens, and with people like you, and I have to say, you were extraordinarily helpful and important in the last presidential campaign, and I think you made a significant difference.
00:34:28.000Particularly in reaching out to younger Americans.
00:34:30.000So with the help of the entire team that elected him president, we have a chance to make sure we not only keep the House, but we actually increase our margin.
00:34:38.000There are 13 Democrats in seats that Donald Trump carried.
00:34:43.000There are another 21 Democrats that are in seats he got within 5%.
00:34:46.000They're going to vote very strangely, very much against the American people.
00:34:51.000And we have a real chance to beat them and to substantially increase the majority that Speaker Johnson has to work with.
00:34:58.000Thank you for those kind words, Mr. Speaker.
00:35:00.000My inclination has been for two bills, but can you convince our audience otherwise?
00:35:06.000I mean, I'm far from a legislative expert.
00:35:09.000Why do you think one bill would be the best solution?
00:35:12.000Well, let me just say, as part of the background, that I've engineered this before.
00:35:17.000We were the only Congress in 100 years to pass four consecutive balanced budgets, pass welfare reform, pass tax cuts, pass food and drug administration reform, invent Medicare Advantage.
00:35:29.000We did all that with a Democratic president.
00:35:39.000If he will campaign for about 10 weeks and go into the districts I just mentioned, the 34 that are vulnerable Democrats, he will pass a big bill.
00:35:48.000I don't think you can do that twice in the first six months of the year.
00:35:51.000And I think it's desperately important that that be the tax cuts, deregulation, energy, affordability bill.
00:35:59.000I think you can throw in things for immigration.
00:36:02.000He's frankly going to do a lot on immigration without a bill.
00:36:06.000And I think people say, oh, we want to...
00:36:18.000And I think the Senate is so cumbersome and so difficult to work just structurally.
00:36:23.000That even though John Thune's going to be a very good majority leader and very cooperative with Trump, frankly, he would have a very hard time getting two big bills through the Senate in six months.
00:36:35.000So if I have to choose, I want one really big bill, as Trump described it, one big, beautiful bill.
00:36:41.000And I think that's the safest if you want to keep a majority in the House.
00:36:44.000And it's the safest if you want the Trump presidency to be successful.
