NEWT GINGRICH (GUEST): There's so much stuff wrong in California, the Newsom, if he ever gets genuinely looked at by the national media, will disintegrate, and Michelle's not going to run. I mean, you know --

SEAN HANNITY (HOST): I don't see it either, but so many people seem to think that's a possibility. I don't see it. 

GINGRICH: Well, first of all, she's more radical than Barack, and she's more, racially intense than Barack.

And she can't explain the amount of money they've got, the size of their mansion. I mean, you know, they managed for 8 years to live out a myth that was a lie, that they were really normal everyday people, but they're not. And they're both radicals, but she's much like Hillary is much more radical than Bill Clinton.

Michelle is more radical than Barack. And that -- that would not work very well in a national campaign. So, I mean, I think they're basically stuck.
