We are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. Hey, everybody. Welcome to this episode of the Charlie Kirk Show. I am so thrilled and thankful to be joined by someone that I have learned so much from throughout the years, Speaker Newt Gingrich. And Mr. Gingrich, thank you so much for joining the Charlie Kirk Show. You have a new book called Trump and the American Solving the Great Problems of Our Time. Please tell us why you wrote this book. And also, I think it's pretty timely considering the upcoming election.

Well, yeah, it occurred to me late last year that the way the Democrats were moving to the left, this would be the biggest choice since Lincoln in 1864 ran for reelection against somebody who was willing to surrender to the south, break up the Union and preserve slavery. And when I look at where Trump is trying to take the country in terms of jobs and free enterprise and conservative judges and a strong pro American trade and defense policy. And then I look at where a Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer team would take the country. I just think it's the biggest gap we've seen, certainly in the last 160 years. So I wanted to write a book that sort of armed our side and said, here are the facts, here's, here's the context, here's what you can say to people who aren't sure. And I think Trump in the American future really lays out the big issues, some of them, frankly, a little scary. We finished the book in March, and we have a section there on the Democrats willingness to support crime and oppose the police. And that chapter now is coming alive every Evening. So I look at stuff like that and I think we sort of caught the big underlying river that's coming down our way in terms of left wingism and the world they would create if they could.
