Talks about Trump meeting with Kissinger; says it shows that Trump recognizes that some people are worth visiting. Does not answer the question regarding Trump mentioning rape in the interview w/Hannity but calls WJC a "target rich environment". Hits the Clinton Foundation for paying men more than women. Denies that he has been contacted about being vetted for vice president.

VAN SUSTEREN: Trump sat down for a meeting with former secretary of state Henry Kissinger. Former speaker of the house and co-author of the brand new book "We discovering god in America" newt Gingrich goes "On the record." Good evening great to be with you.
GINGRICH:  Good evening.
VAN SUSTEREN: Usually I have heard the Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin. They all went to kiss the ring on Donald Trump's hand. Today we saw Donald Trump go down and see Henry Kissinger. What's up?
GINGRICH: Yes. First of all, Henry is 92. I think it's a legitimate legit visiting him to kiss his ring. Henry does all the way to president John F. Kennedy. It's amazing how long Henry has been involved in national security issues. I think it's a good thing. They know each other. They have talked by phone. But this was a good hour long meeting. And I recently visited with Henry for a couple of hours. He is still remarkably current and has a lot of very useful insights.
VAN SUSTEREN: He has been a guest here "On the record" many times. He has always been fascinating to interview. Whole getting into the car and almost like the broncho case O.J. Simpson the cameras followed Donald Trump crossing fifth avenue headed down to see Dr. Kissinger.
GINGRICH: Part of the phenomenon of Donald Trump and why he won the nomination so decisively. Also, sort of caught in this problem now. Okay. He is going to be the nominee. Should he go listen to really smart people or is that a sign he doesn't know enough? I think it's a pretty smart thing to recognize that in foreign policy and national security there is some people really worth visiting and Henry Kissinger would be on that list.
VAN SUSTEREN: All right, Mr. Speaker, moments ago, Donald Trump using the word rape when talking about president bill Clinton. That was in an interview with Sean hannity that will air tonight at 10:00 P.M. Eastern. Mr. Speaker, your thoughts? [7:10:17 PM] The reference as I understand it and I haven't seen the whole interview is he was accusing the "New York Times" not doing much of an investigation when they spent six weeks and two reporters on him.
GINGRICH: Since I haven't seen the interview, I have no idea what trump was referring to, I mean, there have been all sorts of allegations. There have been people come out of the woodwork. I always thought it was bizarre that the "New York Times" decides they are going to take on Donald Trump when his relationship with women and do such a bad job that the centerpiece of their story goes on TV to say that the "New York Times" whole story was a lie, exactly the opposite of what she said. Meanwhile, have you, for example, Clinton took a whole series of trips with a convicted pedophile, including five trips where he left behind the secret service. And, if I were the "New York Times," I wouldn't want to get involved -- Bill is such a target-rich environment. Why would you even look at trump?
VAN SUSTEREN: He is not the candidate. Does that make a difference? At what point -- how much is Hillary Clinton going to get attacked because of the -- whatever her husband does or doesn't do.
GINGRICH: Is he on the campaign trail. One of the issues that trump is going to clearly come in on is what Hillary's relationship was both with bill and with the women. All sorts of allegations about that. In addition he gets into this issue about treating women. I point out recently the Clinton foundation pays men 38% more than women. You have a whole series of these things where they say one thing over here and do a totally different thing over here.
VAN SUSTEREN: All right. Let me ask you a quick question. Are you being vetted in any short of way for this vice president job in the FBI called you? Has trump called you?
GINGRICH:  No.
VAN SUSTEREN: No one has called you.
GINGRICH: No one has called me.
VAN SUSTEREN: Anyone who works for trump called you?
GINGRICH:  Not about that. (CROSSTALK) I talk to the trump campaign all the time. We have not a single person has talked to me about being vetted in any way.
VAN SUSTEREN:  All right. Mr. Speaker. Nice to talk to you. No one has talked to me. Thank you.
