NEWT GINGRICH AT THE IOWA FREEDOM SUMMIT 2015
Newt Gingrich 58th Speaker of the United States House of Representatives
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.
0:00
and I wanted to come to talk about something that i think is
0:02
extraordinarily
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
1:50
beheadings
1:51
I look at all these are things going on they don't strike me as a Rotary Club
1:55
conspiracy
1:57
or you know the call +1 Ian's running amok
2:00
there is one common
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
2:15
by force the
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
reality
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
3:18
workplace incident
3:20
the
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
3:38
common tern
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
left
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
4:24
distinction
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
4:50
the
4:53
the
5:14
had I would urge all of you to go back and look at President George W Bush is
5:20
magnificent speech
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
6:03
Sharia
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
7:09
the
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
7:40
and 47 when he was
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
7:52
and when we win
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
8:04
could and being
8:07
a relatively simple personally not not Sullivan the Harvard Law School women
8:11
thoroughly educated in now to avoid reality
8:14
Kat
8:17
the
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
8:49
now it took
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
9:26
allies
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
10:21
the
10:29
but I would ask your help in getting the Congress to understand both in the house
10:32
and Sun
10:33
know we need probably six months or more appearance we need hearings start at the
10:38
beginning
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
11:57
countries
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
12:06
direction
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
12:58
the
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
13:38
in addition the
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
14:15
the
14:17
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
one-point
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
15:18
day about those
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
15:28
the congress
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
15:41
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
16:39
pretty good answer
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
17:17
