Newt's World

" We're in Dallas later but first former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich joins us live mister speaker at thirteen people dead down here gunned down -- horrific crime. Political correctness is that a huge contributing factor here to this horrible crime. --"

" It's a very significant contributing factor we now know that the National Security Agency. Was intercepting telegrams between. This particular person and one of the leading advocates. G hot against Americans in the world. We know that they were turned over by the to the FBI. We know that the FBI concluded not to pursue it and and -- what you have is a bias in this country today. A politically correct bias. That's says so we don't wanna pre judging we do we don't want to know automatically assume something. I -- the same thing happening of the day the president and others are saying oh let's be very careful let's be very cautious. The objective fact is this was an act of war. It was an act of terrorism. It was committed by a person who have been actively in touch with and actively -- of terrorist activities. And I think it takes a willful blindness. To minimize this -- right back to where we were with the World Trade Center bombing the first time. In 1993. Or to the FBI. Refusing to follow up -- indications. Of terrorist pilot training before 2001. There's a very bad sign. About making America more vulnerable and innocent people died and many others were wounded. Because of the failure. Of to follow through on intelligence we actually had."

" And at thirteen then that's just the core of the twenty men wounded that's just -- they all have families many of them have children many of them have good friends and in those awful lot of heartbreak. And has been in the -- union that you -- the National Security Agency the FBI those are not agencies that typically. We think of as running around spouting off about being politically correct those -- law enforcement agencies looking for clues -- these clues."

" I think I think the American people in the congress. Should look at the kind of political correct indoctrination. Now under -- at the FBI and elsewhere designed to make sure that they're not insensitive that's the key -- don't be insensitive. I think this particular person. When you have somebody who is praising those who killed Americans here is somebody who describes himself as a soldier of Allah. If somebody says that a Palestinian not an American. You have somebody who says who is routinely been communicating with one of the leading advocates of Jihad in the world. That -- be more than enough to save you this person shouldn't be in the military. They shouldn't be -- an army base they shouldn't be anywhere near a weapon and I think that political correctness is a major problem in the United States today."

" it -- this -- is communicating with a radical cleric and they said they looked at at that you know that look like just a research paper are radical cleric that I might add that has called this. This man who is now accused of killing thirteen eight here on his website let's not forget that is kind my hero for gunning down those bit. But he -- he even got this situation. Where you know you think that they would all these signs why you just pull -- guy and girl alone ask hard questions that we're rock I apologize but it is okay no one even tried to investigate we -- get to that point."

" But -- were about to go through a period very similar. To the Communist spy controversy late 1940s. Which we now know in fact because the documents of -- released. Was based on the existence of real Communist spies was no question. The Soviet Union had real spies the United States and that it was a real threat to our national security we're about to go through a very similar debate. The FBI has estimated that up to ten per -- Of the mosque in the United States are supported by people who favor terrorism. Now people -- going to be very very sensitive about that -- be very cautious but you have to you have to ask a question. This terrible is for good was. What if in fact we have across this country even more people. Who are prepared to kill Americans on behalf of trying to impose a nice and essentially foreign. Structure -- belief I think this is a very serious problem. And deserves a national debate of the first order."

" But -- they're ready any sort of witch hunt but the very least when you've got all the abundant close at least could brave men and ask questions and we even get to that point I mean even that. -- is sell itself I'll believe it does appear anything was done but that let me move to another -- fast and discussion the New York 23 congressional district. It has not been certified. The winner yet. The and they -- that guy and win the democratic candidate has been sworn in congress how does that happen."

" Well apparently. When they conservative candidate Doug Hoffman. Came close but nobody really thought it was going to be. -- anyway contest civil. They conceded insensitive spirited good good sportsmanship which is appropriate in America. And then they discovered that they be given bad information. That in fact they've done far better and Doug -- is -- counting the minutes they've been told. And now they have -- gotten -- about 3000 votes over 10000 absentee ballots outstanding. This probable that oh one's a Democrat will end up winning but it's not certain. And we could suddenly find out next week first that we have somebody in office you shouldn't be. And second of that person voted for health bill that they campaigned against and then that I think -- campaign against so so. You might have a situation where Ed Hoffman and elected that margin would have been even closer. -- I was and I think it'll be -- to see if a week from now. We suddenly decide that we have a different congressman we thought. Not clear yet but Hoffman is doing better than people thought I was getting more votes and is the absentee returns command. And keeps getting narrower and narrower so you know could we have people stay tuned and it could be -- shouldn't we."

" I as you've got one -- off on this -- I would bothers me most about this and that's this. It said he was not certified I recognize that the conservatives that candidate conceded but he was not certified. And still in a huge rush to quick quick quick jam this down -- throat. The speaker of the house and everybody every other democratic member of congress want to swear when he was rushed in sworn in on Saturday night because there's a huge rush -- he was certified as the winner by -- And solely -- for the reasons we could -- the next stage Saturday when Franklin they could've had the -- from the health -- bill on Monday didn't -- rush that because that bill -- there's nothing happened with that bill since last Saturday. -- the whole idea trend that we've been -- that's that's basically that's my word had. When I am --"

" over the next year you're gonna -- others say we've been having a lot of times. And it's not gonna make you very happy in your right as they shouldn't have clear that he has not been certified. By the secretary of state he should not have been sworn in they may now end up being faced with the grim possibility of having on swear him and then what do you do about that though what if he should never been there. It is a fascinating moment. And it."

" This it might have a five votes to him. Budget that there -- that margin and I got an important part you know why do this even more alarming. But I know margin then the three."

" And remember that they last vote by congressman gal only came after Democrats got to 218. This would take amounted to nineteen so he gets closer and closer."

" Yes but the nonetheless says this they still got the next about but it rat reminds me a little bit about the horrible rush to bring the -- senator from Ohio back last February. So that he could vote on the stimulus package so that the next day that they could -- ticket quickly vote -- and then that wasn't signed for three or four days and there's a big Russian -- you know but anyway I. -- now here's you a question about your future. I put a picture up on the screen of a woman that we've been in contact -- And we do believe that this woman if asked would that give us the correct information about whether or not you are running for president that she knows is just the one who knows whether or not you -- president."

" That -- house and senate does what her daughter things and therefore I think there's. Certain possibility that she is going to. Have an inside -- she hasn't told me yet but diverting it is here in the studio actually was hoping to see you until we fan -- you going to be in Texas. And as a solid she said she's a great fan of -- so I suspect if she does discovered. It'll show up -- on your email before -- even tells me."

" I want to register a precious somehow because it can trying to get the answer I don't know and that's that I have a little -- tonight and -- let me I can gill took the picture of your mother in law on the screen but that didn't work and cause I can't wait to see of the green room. She's gonna ask me. And I'm gonna tell the truth -- her daughter sent that to you. I -- packets that we're got Iowa William about about a minute left health care again I served predictions -- will that be a vote in the Senate this week that's coming."

" This year John Johnny Isaacson a senator from Georgia said yesterday. He believes it will not come up -- late January at the -- I think he has a pretty good sense of it. I do not believe that Harry Reid can get it to the floor to a vote before Christmas. And I think that puts it an enormous danger because as people look at ten point 2% unemployment. Seventeen and a half percent if you count. Part time workers and those have given up looking. I think if this continues going to be worse I think by -- I'm not sure the Senate will ever quite get around health care. And I think we may be seeing a repeat of Hillary care where -- barely gets through the house is a really terrible bill and then gradually just disappears."
