Newton Leroy "Newt"
Gingrich is an American politician,
historian, author and political consultant. He represented
Georgia's 6th congressional district as a Republican
from 1979 until his resignation in 1999, and served as the 58th
Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995 to 1999.
Gingrich was a
candidate for the
2012 Republican Party presidential nomination.
In the 1970s, Gingrich taught history and geography at the
University
of West Georgia. During this period he ran twice
(1974 and 1976)[1]
for the
United States House of Representatives before winning in
November 1978. He served as
House Minority Whip from 1989 to 1995.
A co-author and architect of the "Contract with
America", Gingrich was a major leader in the Republican victory
in the
1994 congressional election. In 1995, Time named
him "Man of the
Year" for "his role in ending the four-decades-long Democratic
majority in the House".[2]
While he was House speaker, the House enacted welfare
reform, passed a capital
gains tax cut in 1997, and in 1998 passed the first balanced
budget since 1969.
Since leaving the House, Gingrich has remained active in public
policy debates and worked as a political consultant. He founded and
chaired several policy think tanks,
including
American Solutions for Winning the Future and the Center
for Health Transformation. He has written or co-authored 27
books. In May 2011, he announced his campaign for the
Republican presidential nomination. On May 2, 2012, Gingrich
ended his presidential campaign and endorsed front-runner Mitt
Romney.[4]
After being raised Lutheran and
spending most of his adult life as a Southern
Baptist, Gingrich converted to Roman Catholicism in 2009. He
has been married three times, with the first two marriages ending
in affairs and divorce. He has two children from his first marriage
and has been married to Callista Gingrich
(née Bisek) since 2000.

and I wanted to come to talk about
something that i think is
0:04
serious and not political in any
normal sense
0:09
tonight America server then I
wanna
0:12
satya flatly that almost 14
years
0:18
after 9/11 the United States
today
0:22
is a losing the war with radical
Islamist
0:26
and we have to have the courage to
confront how badly we are doing
0:32
and this war and not just as an
anti-obama comment the state department
0:37
was about equally bad frankly under
George W Bush
0:41
the unwillingness to tell the truth
about who our enemies are was equally
0:44
bad after the first year
0:46
because gradually all the so-called
experts kept saying oh
0:49
you can we tell the truth about who
they are because that might confuse other
0:52
people and so why don't you make up
strange terms and
0:55
you know it became his own use you
you see
0:59
people all around the planet this is
a global war
1:03
and yet they insist on talking about
it by geography so
1:07
when really focus on northern Syria
well there are thousands
1:11
love jihadist who have come to
northern Syria from all around the world
1:16
over a thousand from France alone so
over 600 from Great Britain
1:19
over a hundred United States this is
a global war
1:23
in Nigeria Boca ron has 10,000
fighters
1:27
and last year Boca around killed
more people than a bowler
1:30
but the State Department for years
under said Secretary Clinton
1:35
wouldn't even list them as a
terrorist group
1:38
even though their initial base camp
was called Afghanistan
1:42
in honor the Taliban now you would
think somewhere in here
1:46
people get have a No I look around
the planet at suicide bombings I look at
1:51
I look at all these are things going
on they don't strike me as a Rotary Club
1:57
or you know the call +1 Ian's
running amok
2:03
pattern occurring everywhere across
the planet
2:07
and that is radical Islamist who
hate our civilization
2:12
are prepared to cut off our heads
and are determined to impose their religion
2:22
now I'm not return a lot of
time
2:25
talking about President Obama's
pathological in capacity to deal with
2:30
because I think I think that's what
it's a minute there's this dude there's no
2:34
point in trying to get him to
learn
2:36
how to say the word radical Islamist
because he has a speech impediment
2:40
which blocks them from me I'll say
the word to me just you know
2:44
will be embarrassed watching John
Kerry the other day try to explain other said
2:48
it's not about religion it's
about
2:50
specific unique random individual
cell you end up at Fort Hood
2:54
was somebody who's can a card that
says sold from Allah
2:58
somebody who we now know was on the
internet talking to an american
3:02
are Imam in Yemen who we later on
killed with a predator
3:06
somebody who jumps up yells Allah hu
Akbar and kills 13 Americans
3:10
and even the institutional the US
Army is so corrupted
3:14
by the intellectual dishonesty we
now live with they described it as a
3:27
this is as though in 1946 and 1947
1948 we'd had henry wallace instead I love
3:33
harry truman and we had a president
said you know there is no KGB there is no
3:39
the soviet union is not a threat
communism's okay I don't think you
3:42
should be worried about all these
things
3:44
and that's really all that we have
an elite
3:47
frankly in both parties on
willing
3:51
to tell the truth you're not gonna
win this war
3:54
if you can tell the truth you not
gonna win this war he can admit it or
3:59
now let me be very clear because I
can already hear some of our friends on the
4:03
and a few other friends on the right
who won as the thinking which wants us to
4:08
have an army of seven million occupy
everywhere
4:10
baloney this is a campaign
4:13
that should be fought with the
largest possible number of allies
4:17
it's a campaign which should be
fought wherever possible by
4:21
surgically and methodically hunting
down people and then we can draw a clear
4:25
if you are a Muslim and you're
willing to live in peace with your neighbors
4:29
and you have no problem with people
converting in both directions
4:32
and you'd like to be allowed to have
a moscow by the way they can have a
4:35
synagogue or temple or a
church
4:38
I have no problem with with Muslims
who are prepared to live in diversity
4:41
but if you are a Muslim who believes
you going to impose Sharia
4:45
by cutting off my head I have a
desire to kill you before you cut off my hair
5:14
had I would urge all of you to go
back and look at President George W Bush is
5:22
to a joint session of Congress
shortly after 9/11
5:26
there he said there's an axis of
evil
5:30
any less than Iran iraq
5:34
and North Korea now you could have
added a few more countries me someone told her
5:38
that they weren't on the list
5:39
but close a good start and
their
5:44
that's a speech in which he said
your other for us
5:48
or you're against us but the State
Department another's probably can send
5:53
you can't really mean that
5:54
me really prepared to go to the
saudis and said I'm you therefore against us
5:59
and cut off although their funding
for all the different elements that preach
6:04
are you prepared to take on the
arguing about Sharia
6:07
now you have a new leader in
6:10
Egypt who is remarkably like
Mubarak
6:14
who was remarkably like sadat
6:17
that is using military leader
dominating a country by force
6:23
because the alternative is a Muslim
Brotherhood radicalized Egypt
6:29
threatening to United States in the
entire world now I want a flapper
6:33
well I would love to see the
Egyptian people be prosperous and free
6:38
and have a chance to live in a
genuine democracy I am NOT getting just as I was
6:42
not confused by communists
6:44
who were very eager to have one vote
one time in Italy and France
6:48
I am NOT confused by the but Muslim
Brotherhood would you like to use our
6:52
language to impose their way of
life
6:55
and never again have an election
once they're in charge so I think we've got
6:59
to recognize this is as
7:00
intellectually significant a fight
as the development of anti-communism was
7:06
between 1945 and 1950
7:15
no me remember that ronald
reagan
7:19
was a democrat who voted for
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt he action 1948
7:25
did a commercial for Harry Truman
and a commercial I'll for hubert humphrey but
7:30
human humphrey in 1948
7:31
was the anti-communist liberal
7:34
taking on the communist we know the
democratic-farmer-labor party but reagan
7:41
active you became president Screen
Actors Guild now one night in nineteen
7:45
forty-seven he sitting around
chatting with a guy
7:48
and this guy says Tim you know I am
a genuine stalinist
7:56
you're the kinda person rather gonna
put in jail we're gonna kill
7:59
and reagan went home any thought to
himself gee I wonder what that time and
8:07
a relatively simple personally not
not Sullivan the Harvard Law School women
8:11
thoroughly educated in now to avoid
reality
8:23
Reagan said to himself gosh
8:26
i guess im and if he wins they will
either put me in jail a kill me
8:31
and then reagan in a totally
selfish
8:35
narrow added decided he didn't want
them to win
8:39
a I was just one of those
attacks
8:43
approve the reagan was becoming a
right-winger because he was prepared for
8:48
the Soviet Union to be
defeated
8:53
from that moment love awareness in
1947
8:56
forty 4 years for the Soviet Union
collapsed and frankly
9:02
I thought it would take another 20
or 30 but
9:06
we calmly and methodically built a
worldwide coalition
9:10
we calmly and methodically built the
most powerful military in history
9:14
we calmly and methodically actually
spyridon people
9:17
we actually went out and did the
things necessary to be safe
9:21
we had a clear notion that we were
prepared to defend america and america's
9:27
and we did for forty 4
9:30
years hi am here today the
9:38
I'm here today to ask you to talk to
your members of Congress
9:42
Antonio San whatever
9:45
device you use Twitter Facebook
email
9:48
telephone snail mail personal visit
to friends around the country
9:53
I wrote a piece the other day on
wall street journal which I outlined
9:57
and you see an interview to Gingrich
productions that come are
10:01
by outlined the hearings the US
Congress shift
10:05
in my mind intellectually I Britain
of this administration it's hopeless
10:09
and frankly muster some brake
conversion experience by Hillary Clinton
10:13
I would write her a hug thanks his
part she is part in this world view
10:17
she is with Obama she can't hide
from it it is a fact
10:29
but I would ask your help in getting
the Congress to understand both in the house
10:33
know we need probably six months or
more appearance we need hearings start at the
10:39
why I their radical Islamist
10:43
what are their values watch the
world a sheet or accomplish
10:46
and an don't kid yourself this is a
very Pravasi problem there's a blogger
10:52
in saudi arabia who was for
liberalizing Saudi Arabia
10:56
he has been sentenced to 1,000
lashes delivered in public
11:01
10 per week now the United States
government should be
11:06
angrily protested this is
nonsense
11:10
we'll have to tolerate the saudis
live in the middle
11:13
love the 60 the 8th century the 9th
century Alicia we should be saying that
11:17
we find this apartment
11:19
the iranians a locked up in
washington Post reporter
11:23
just to remind us that they have
such contempt for the Obama administration
11:27
that they're confident the Obama
special keep talking to the matter what they do
11:30
iranians probably with the people
who were funding and training equipping
11:34
the rebels who took over Yemen this
week
11:37
and remember Yemen was the examples
cited by the president
11:42
in October have proof that his
strategy was working
11:45
now we haven't heard from him since
Yemen fell this week
11:49
but then he's busy %uh the Super
Bowls coming up
11:53
their number of other important
things you can expect him to note is random
11:58
being lost to the west but we need
to really have
12:02
a I'm not here today to tell you
that I have an answer I have a dry have a
12:07
but the first part in that direction
this to lay out for the american people
12:11
the fax alert to scale the problem
when you see the number of Islamist
12:17
around the world when you see what
they say and
12:22
I'm historian up the general rule
is
12:25
if somebody tells you that they are
prepared to cut off your head unless you
12:29
can burn the other day
12:30
four teenage questions had their
heads cut off because they wouldn't convert
12:33
now I take that to be you assign
that they probably mean they will cut off
12:38
your head if you don't come
12:40
and I think you might have people
need to see the whole picture
12:43
and only once we have the whole
picture out to we start talking about strategist
12:47
one strategy stragglers to drive
them off the internet
12:51
and whatever it takes to drive
multi-unit we should do
12:55
no one should be very clear about
that and
13:04
one other strategy should be
assessed that everybody is getting money
13:08
from people like this audience have
to have it noted that when I see an expert
13:13
on TV telling me the saudi version a
reality
13:16
and then you'll another professor a
major American University
13:19
were a major American think tank but
they're totally funded by the saudis
13:23
we should all know that because it's
absurd
13:27
the apologist for these people
13:30
are all involved in total
intellectual dishonesty
13:35
undermining and weakening the
survival the United States
13:43
we should make it very clear the
we're not going to tolerate
13:47
any kind of advocacy from here on
out
13:53
up Sharia we're not going to
tolerate any kind of advocacy
13:57
love violence against the West we're
not going to tolerate any recruiting
14:02
we're not going to tolerate any
fundraising and we're not going to
14:04
tolerate people who leave this
country
14:06
in order to fight somewhere else and
frankly we should make it a conditional
14:10
losing your passport
14:11
and not being able to come back
tomorrow the
14:23
the middle the 1930s as
14:27
the British leadership
14:30
showed total cowardice and were
terrified
14:35
dealing head-on with Adolf Hitler
one-man
14:39
actually read mine comp stan was
winston churchill and he said you know I think
14:46
this guy actually means
14:47
wouldn't say and he began giving
speeches he was a very lonely voice a
14:52
he was down to four members voting
with him out of 635
14:57
but he said the truth
15:01
is so important and finally
15:05
day by day Kepler proved the
Churchill was right
15:09
and then terribly did was wrong now
I believe
15:14
we are in that kind of environment I
believe our government lies to us every
15:19
I believe our state department lies
about it I think our intelligence
15:22
community has been coopted
intellectually
15:24
I think our military is frightened
to tell the truth and I think starting with
15:29
we have to demand the We the
People
15:32
deserve to know the truth and we the
people deserve the right to defend
15:36
our civilization the
15:50
I just went close this autumn have
been deeply involved for many as my dad was
15:54
an infantryman for 27 years
15:56
I grew up in the army I believe that
the number one obligation other government
16:00
is to protect its people
16:01
and if you don't do that everything
else is put to rest the
16:11
over the next year you'll be visited
by many candidates
16:14
those you are islands have been
through this before I just asking to demand that
16:20
every candidate who comes through
here
16:22
every day from now to the caucus has
to answer
16:26
what are they prepared to do to help
defeat radical Islamist
16:30
so that America and its allies can
go into the future and freedom
16:34
and safety if you do that by about
the 627 visit every one of them live a
16:40
because I'll be afraid to come back
Co you can play
16:44
a major decisive role in getting
America back on the right track
16:50
and with your help I have no doubt
that the american people
16:54
will defeat those who would cut off
our heads we will defeat
16:59
those who would force us into
forcible conversion religion
17:02
we will defeat those who have such
contempt for us
17:06
that they think they can send those
videos and we will do nothing
17:09
thank you good luck and I blush
the
