Here with more former House Speaker Fox News contributor, Newt Gingrich. It really is remarkable and will be in Alaska this week. And when you couple that with 15 trillion in committed investments and the largest tax cut in history and energy dominance policies that I think make economic growth incalculable, if peace and prosperity drive elections, he's looking pretty good early on for 26 in my view. Look, I think he has a great chance. I happened to get a call Sunday night from Cambodian leaders who are nominating President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, and they are ecstatic at the role he played in stopping a potential war between Thailand and Cambodia. And every time you turn around, he's doing something which is entirely amazing. So I think the stage is being set in 2026 between a very successful, hardworking American president who represents American values, focuses on American interests, and a Democratic party dominated by big government socialism with radical values. And that's a choice, I think, between a Trump boom and Democratic gloom. And my guess is this will be the biggest off-year election since Franklin Roosevelt in 1934. You know, many other politicians, and you tell me if I'm wrong, you're the historian, they will wring their hands, they'll talk to their advisers, they'll vacillate back and forth. You know, how much political capital will I have to expend to get involved in this issue? There's no such calculation as, like, problem, let me fix it. Let me see if I can fix it. Let me give my best shot at fixing it. Dive in, don't jump in. Very different than most politicians. Well, but I think, Sean, you use the key word. Donald Trump is not a politician. Donald Trump is a citizen businessman who left a remarkable career, took an amazing beating, survived a most unbelievable series of circumstances. And walks in every morning believing that God saved him for the purpose of creating a golden age for America. And he does it as a citizen. I don't think there's a politician bone in his body. I think he gets up every day as a citizen and says, what can I do to give my children, my grandchildren, and the American people a better future? And then he doesn't. And I don't think he thinks about second and third order effects. I think he just does what he thinks is right. Okay. So as we watch Donald Trump, what do you expect Friday? I don't know yet. I mean, having watched him on occasion, for example, I can't jump in. He says he'll know in two minutes. Just get up. I think you will. He says he'll know in two minutes. Look, I tweeted today, it was a very bad sign that the Russians launched a big offensive yesterday on the eve of this thing. I think that Putin is probably going to walk in there totally misunderstanding Trump, trying to run a bluff. And my guess is if that was what happens, he's going to get up and walk out. He's just going to say, this is all baloney. You're a liar and I can't trust you and I'm not going to work with you. I think what Putin believes, which is a total misreading of President Trump, is that somehow Trump can be talked into a fantasy. I don't think that's going to happen. But again, I'm an optimist. I'm a big believer in Donald Trump. And I think he's going to walk in there. He's going to look him in the eye and he's going to say, if you continue this, you will be crushed. Now, do you want to continue or should we talk? And if Putin says something baloney, he's going to go up and say, well, I remember President Trump said to me one day in negotiating with the Japanese, they walked out four times and he sat there calmly and they kept coming back. And I have a hunch that's the way he's going to approach Alaska. If Vladimir Putin actually, if he doesn't believe Donald Trump will get up and walk out and tell him to go jump in a lake, then he knows nothing. His intelligence is useless because I can tell him right now with 100 percent certainty, Donald Trump is not going to take any of your crap. That's my advice to Putin going into Friday. We'll see what happens. That's exactly right. All right. I want to watch you in Alaska.
