Newt Gingrich on the Populist Realignment Behind Trump's Coalition
Showing 4 Populist Movement videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
Historian and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich argued that Donald Trump's win in Starr County, Texas, a nearly all-Hispanic county, reflected a decades-long populist realignment tracing back to Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan's 1964 A Time for Choosing speech, arguing that working-class voters across demographic lines have shifted toward a genuinely populist conservative party after feeling betrayed by an establishment that outsourced manufacturing and left borders open. In a separate video, Charlie Kirk promoted his book Right Wing Revolution, describing it as a guide for ordinary conservatives to resist what he calls left-wing ideological pressure at the personal and local level, not just a list of policy proposals. Other videos in this pool include Kirk's commentary on declining homeownership rates among young Americans.
