BEST OF THE GIST: Mr. Speaker Edition
With Kevin McCarthy ousted from his dream job, we decided to look back at one of the most influential Speakers to ever serve, Newt Gingrich. First we listen back to Mike's interview with Steve Kornacki's latest book, The Red and the Blue: The 1990s and the Birth of Political Tribalism. Then we check out Mike's 2020 interview with Princeton History and Public Affairs Professor Julian Zelizer about his book Burning Down the House: Newt Gingrich, the Fall of a Speaker, and the Rise of the New Republican Party. Have a great holiday weekend, and just know that no matter how bad your weekend may seem, it was better than Kevin McCarthy's.
