0:03 No, no, no, no.
0:03 First of all, who was Do you know who
0:05 our current ambassador to both Switzerland and Likenstein is?
0:10 I have no idea.
0:11 But if I I'm going to guess like is is it a is it a Kushner or Woodco relative?
0:16 Let's roll the tape.
0:17 I'm Kalista, United States Ambassador to Switzerland and Likenstein,
0:21 and I'm delighted to celebrate National Apprenticeship Week.
0:25 As US ambassador to Switzerland and Likenstein,
0:29 I've seen firsthand the power of apprenticeships.
0:34 Wow.
0:34 Amazing start.
0:35 Here's I just have one comment first.
0:36 I know this the years or decades going to go by and and Kalista Gingrich would
0:42 look exactly precisely the same whatever they shot
0:46 into that face like like we will be dead you and I and there will be a video
0:51 of her in some Republic administration in 2075
0:55 as ambassador to you know Luxembourg or some
1:00 you know fancy European place looking exactly the same.
1:03 yet she she facet tunes with a belt sander.
1:05 That by the way that was Kalista Gingrich
1:07 uh former ambassador to the Vatican under Trump 1.0,
1:10 wife of former speaker Nuke Gingrich.
1:12 So Kalista is now representing our interest in burn.
1:15 Um remember she is N's third wife.
1:17 So we met his first wife when he was a teenager.
1:19 I didn't know this when she was his high school geometry teacher.
1:22 It's very groesque.
1:24 Yeah, they Candace on that case.
1:25 Yeah, Candace.
1:27 Was she a Roth child?
1:29 We'll find out.
1:30 Uh that marriage ended in divorce after
1:32 his affair with Maryanne who became his second wife.
1:35 This is N.
1:36 New then had an affair with Kalista for 6 years while he was still married.
1:40 Uh and he asked his second wife
1:42 for a divorce shortly after she was diagnosed with MS.
1:45 So again, good guy.
1:47 Kalista I think is 20 years 23 years younger
1:49 than N about the same age as his daughter.
1:51 Uh and again we cannot point out enough that N was
1:54 having this affair while constantly attacking
1:56 Bill Clinton over the Lewinsky stuff.
1:59 Uh so N married Kalista in 2000 converted to her faith uh Catholicism in 2009.
2:05 So Ben uh to honor her
2:07 where does Catholicism stand on these uh personal discussions.
2:10 Yeah.
2:11 On this uh yeah uh a little quiz for you.
2:14 Okay.
2:15 One first question.
2:16 Like Cash Patel, Kalista Gingrich is a noted children's book author.
2:20 In her seven book series, what animal quote travels through time to discover
2:24 the pivotal moments that have shaped American history?
2:26 Is it A.
2:28 Ellis the elephant.
2:29 B.
2:30 N the Narwhal, C.
2:32 Donald the Dalmatian, D.
2:34 Liberty the Lynx.
2:37 This is This is actually just as good as Cash the Wizard.
2:40 Uh what was A again?
2:42 Uh Ellis the Elephant.
2:43 I'm going to go with the elephant.
2:44 I'm going to go with the elephant.
2:45 You nailed it.
2:46 Yeah, you absolutely.
2:47 Republican.
2:48 I think of all the things to choose,
2:50 these are these are actually Republicans before they are Donald.
2:53 I'm bummed it wasn't N the Narwhal.
2:54 Uh, so the books are apparently written in rhymes like after winning the war,
2:57 Washington would not become a king.
2:59 He became our first president and that's a better thing.
3:02 Could we please get a dramatic reading of these books by Pete Hexf?
3:06 Oh, that's a good idea.
3:07 With a American flag very fitting.
3:09 You're right.
3:09 Uh, uh, question two.
3:11 Nuke Gingrich owed as much as $500,000 to which retailer in the mid200s?
3:16 Was it A, Vineyard Vines, B, Tiffany and Co., C, Radio Shack, D Rolex?
3:24 500,000.
3:27 500,000 because I I would say N has a a taste for the vineyard vines,
3:30 but I'm gonna go Rolex.
3:31 Yeah.
3:32 So, it was B.
3:33 Tiffany.
3:34 Tiffany.
3:34 Okay.
3:36 Uh
3:35 hard to spend 500 grand at at V.
3:37 Very very harsh.
3:38 That's a lot of That's a lot of white salmon pants.
3:40 Yeah.
3:41 We had a clip of this apparently.
3:42 I've even seen this.
3:43 Doesn't that whole thing strike you as stupid?
3:45 I mean, if you you these are stores these are stores
3:48 that have a wide range of of things you can buy.
3:51 She has girlfriends with birthdays.
3:55 What?
3:54 Is that him defending himself in 2000?
3:57 Just a quick swerve here.
3:58 Like I The fact that this guy was held up as like some intellectual I know,
4:02 you know, has always bothered me.
4:04 Like the the bar for these Republicans is so low.
4:07 Yeah.
4:07 You know.
4:08 Yeah.
4:08 Uh this is our moral leader in our election.
4:11 Moral and intellectual giant.
4:12 So this Tiffany thing came up in his uh
4:14 his ill- fated presidential campaign in 2012 for the nomination.
4:17 He also got flacked for suspending his campaign to go on a Greek cruise.
4:20 Do you remember he was like the front runner for a while?
4:22 I mean that was a crazy field.
4:23 It was like Romney Rick Santorum had a moment there.
4:27 Thinking back I can see why Trump mopped the[ __]
4:30 floor with these guys cuz he came in he
4:31 was like I have a personality and a sense
4:33 of humor and I'm not a loser like these idiots.
4:36 Uh last question.
4:37 When leaving his second wife Maryanne
4:39 N compared Maryanne to Kalista saying I can't
4:42 handle a insert luxury consumer good right here.
4:46 Right now all I want is a less expensive good.
4:49 You got the formatting here.
4:50 Yeah.
4:51 So, I can't handle this luxury thing.
4:53 I need a less expensive thing.
4:54 Was it I can't handle a Charmin Ultra Soft right now.
4:57 All I want is a Scott One ply.
4:59 Was it B?
5:00 I can't handle a gray pupan right now.
5:02 All I want is Frenches.
5:03 Was it C?
5:04 I can't handle espresso right now.
5:06 All I want is instant.
5:07 Was it D?
5:08 I can't handle a Jaguar.
5:10 All I want is a Chevrolet.
5:12 One of those is actually true.
5:15 Yep.
5:15 Uh, I I mean I guess I'm gonna go D because anyone else is like,
5:19 "Dude, you crushed this quiz." D.
5:21 Yeah.
5:21 Chevrolet.
5:22 I Yeah.
5:23 Yeah.
5:23 I mean, he wanted a Chevy.
5:24 You know, that's a bad thing to say to a human being.
5:26 I mean, you know that you're married.
5:29 I mean, N's been in plenty of back seats over the years.
5:31 I mean, like I So is Kalista.
5:36 Well, I back seat windows up.
5:41 This is Yeah.
5:42 Uh, that was a great quiz.
5:44 Thank you, Michael, for that.
5:46 That's what happens when you give this guy an hour of free time on the show day.
5:49 All of a sudden, we're doing No, that was good.
5:51 It was a pretty like dark, angry, you know, run.
5:54 So, we needed that.
5:55 We needed that.
5:56 It's important to have a little fun at the end here.
5:57 Uh, okay.
5:58 We're going to take a quick break.
5:59 By the way, isn't that better than the Tim Miller when he's like,
6:01 you know, asking you the name of the foreign minister of Likenstein.
6:05 Yeah.
6:06 Tim thinks there's people who seem to think
6:07 that working in foreign policy meant you worked in geography.
6:11 No, it's funny.
6:12 The reason he does it is because George Bush like got asked the name of the head
6:15 Pak leader of Pakistan was Masharov and Tim thought
6:19 that that was like a dumb liberal gotcha thing.
6:21 But actually like I'm not sure that was a dumb question
6:24 because Pakistan ended up being like the most important country after 911.
6:28 So yeah, look I think asking him I think people running
6:31 for president asking them basic civics question is a good idea.
6:34 Like I think you know if you asked Donald
6:36 Trump like how many branches of government are they like
6:39 he would just flunk a lot of these basic
6:41 questions and it would have been useful along the way.
6:44 Um but yeah Tim likes to just torture us when we go on the show.
6:47 Yeah he does.
