Glenn Beck ^ | December 6th | Gingrich interview

You can read a FULL transcript of this interview HERE

Glenn welcomed the current front-runner for the GOP nomination to the program this morning on radio, and the usually unflappable Newt Gingrich was met with some serious questions about his record on healthcare, global warming, and more.

Glenn started the interview by making it clear that this was not a "gotcha" interview, but that Glenn had "serious concerns" about Newt Gingrich as President. Glenn's producers had made it clear to Newt that tough questions were going to be asked, but he did think that Gingrich is a decent guy.

"I'm asking questions because I truly, deeply care about the country just as much as Newt Gingrich does but we differ on the answers, I believe. I’d like to have him convince me that I'm wrong. I would love to have him convince me that I'm wrong," Glenn said.

On Regulation

Glenn started by playing a piece of audio where Gingrich claimed to be a "Theodore Roosevelt Republican", a political figure in history that Glenn believes is strongly tied to the Progressive movement in history on both sides of the aisle.

Here's the transcript if anyone wants to read it, http://www.glennbeck.com/2011/12/06/transcript-of-newt-gingrich-interview/ My favorite firt quote: GLENN: Why would we, why would we go into subsidies, though? Isn’t ‑‑ aren’t subsidies really some of the biggest problems that we have with our spending and out‑of‑control picking of winners and losers? GINGRICH: Well, it depends on what you’re subsidizing. The idea of having economic incentives for manufacturing goes back to Alexander Hamilton’s first report of manufacturing which I believe was 1791. We have always had a bias in favor of investing in the future. We built the transcontinental railroads that way. The Erie Canal was built that way. Gosh darnit Newt you're an idiot. Alexander Hamilton and the Erie Canal are the best historical example of what was WRONG with a national government. Hamilton is a snake in the grass. The Erie Canal is the best first example of a failed government program one can find. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erie_Canal#Construction It took eight years to build. It started and stopped construction. It went over budget. It was eclipsed technologically by the railroad before it was completed. As Freddie Mac's former Historian, he should know better. The fact that he considers it a positive example of what government can do either means that Freddie Mac didn't get the historian they paid for or Gingrich is a true believer in government no matter what it does.

Yours is the typical knee jerk mocking come back that, while terribly cute, begs the question, avoids the issue, as always, and leaves the problem in tact, with no resolution to the problem anywhere in sight. No one will ever accuse you of being a problem solver, but for certain you will be counted among the uselessly smart mouthed. What a nice, but small little legacy.

I think Perry still has a chance, yes he fumbles but he is a true 10th
Amendment guy!!!! Newt does have cajones, however he is also a very
smart lying, slime ball. I am certainly not saying that Perry is an outsider
but I do not think Bauchman or Santorum can win I wish they could, but
we all have to keep remembering WE are dealing with the more than
ignorant voting public. Perry does have a JOBS record, he can’t debate
but he is great in rallies, his ads are great, and 1 on 1 with sheeple he
does fine. WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER WITH A CANDIDATE!!!!!

What are you saying? Are you a Conservative?

Do you agree with Gingrich's stances on ethanol, global warming, prescription drug plan, and the DOE? Is it because Gingrich is scholarly that you think he must be right?

Are you saying that Beck is a borderline imbecile? Did you happen to watch his show last night with guests Peter Schweizer on insider knowledge among Congress that they parlay into personal wealth, and later another guy who's written a book - Indoctrination - and how the Progressives are writing lesson plans for schools based on Occupy Wall Street?

I have no patience for those who would demean someone putting forth the best investigative journalism, and when this real journalism takes on a big government GOP candidate whom you support, you go with your bias.

Some kind of Conservative.

[arrdon]

ABSOLUTELY! And, that’s the most pitiful thing. America is so hungry for relief from these creeps - some of us don’t even know how hungry we are - a ham sammich would shine like the sun, for a while. We need a 180-degree turnaround,-followed by pedal-to-the-medal leadership without ANY pandering to those hungry for PC, progressivism, or promotion of big government.

[Cyber Liberty]

Does Beck approve of anybody besides RuPaul? Just curious.

I’m not voting for that ham sandwich if it has pickles!

No Compromise!!!

[Toespi]

Then vote for Obama.

[Gator113]

I’ll continue to support the guy I believe can beat Romney and go on to stop Obama’s War on America...... I’ll vote for Newt Gingrich.

Go Newt Go.....

“Newt”made a good point.” WHICH TR? The man as president was quite different from the progressive candidate of 1912. Taft was not much different from Roosevelt as President. For that matter, our economy has changed radically. Workers in the US in 1912 was in much the same situation as Chinese workers are today. The problem with the Roosevelt of 1912, was the solutions he proposed. He pretty much overlooked the improvements in the living conditions of people since the Depression of 1893-1897. He wanted more power in HIS hands to try this or that solution. It was the same sort of impatience that impelled him to want to plunge the country into war in 1915. We forget that TAFT was a kind of progressive, as was Mark Hanna, for that matter. TR’s gift at self-advertisement has made us forget that if McKinley had lived his second term, he would have instituted some moderate reforms, such as Mark Hanna—a businessman with great empathy for his own workers—would have approved of. If TR had lived, he would have been re-elected in 1920, but one can surmise that the death of Quentin had sobered him. He might have done pretty much what Hughes did, except that he would have resisted the “sinking”of the Navy that occurred in the Washington Conference. But people do change, we do react to changed conditions, even politicians. I do admit that there are always ideologues like Obama who never do.

NANCY PELOSI: Hi. I’m Nancy Pelosi, lifelong Democrat and Speaker of the House.

NEWT GINGRICH: And I’m Newt Gingrich, lifelong Republican, and I used to be Speaker.

PELOSI: We don’t always see eye-to-eye, do we Newt?

GINGRICH: No. But we do agree our country must take action to address climate change.

PELOSI: We need cleaner forms of energy and we need them fast.

GINGRICH: If enough of us demand action from our leaders, we can spark the innovation we need.

Kerry-Gingrich “debate” on Global Warming

At one point, Gingrich said, “We’re not arguing over whether it [a plan to fight global warming] should be urgent. We’re arguing over whether bureaucracy and litigation is a better way to be urgent or whether science and technology translated by entrepreneurs into products is a better way to be urgent.”

Finally, Kerry relented. “I’m excited to hear you talk about the urgency,” he said. But “what would you say to Senator [Jim] Inhofe [R-Okla.] and to others in the Senate who are resisting even the science?”

Gingrich didn’t hesitate. “My message,” he said, “is that the evidence is sufficient that we should move towards the most effective possible steps to reduce carbon loading of the atmosphere.” The pro-Kerry crowd applauded.

“And do it urgently?” the senator pressed.

“And do it urgently, yeah,” the former speaker replied. “I think there has to be, if you will, a green conservatism,” he added.

” With a progressive republican as president the collapse will still happen. “ ...... “We are on the edge of the abyss.”

I absolutely agree with you that the test is upon us, and I think that no one can measure up for the presidency in these times. Bachman, I believe, would get rolled. Newt would not get rolled, but can not undo the Obama damage. It seems to me that God has maybe left us to ourselves. Collapse is an unkind teacher, but perhaps it will place us on back on our knees, where this nation began. Just sayin’.

[tobyhill]

The legislation will dictate what Newt goes with or not. If he doesn’t then there are procedures when dealing with it. If he fails us his history will be written just like bush.
The reality is that we will have 2 choices, go with the republican that gets the nod or Obama for another 4.

you proclaim: “I dont trust anyone that is pimping for Climate Change, a total BS movement.”

Don’t watch this. You might learn something.

“But would running a ham sandwich lose us the Muslim vote?”

Might as well put a couple slices of bacon on it too, most Muzzies will vote for Mullah Obama no matter what.

"There is no way these people and a republican Congress, are not going to repeal Obamacare and the individual mandate."

If you think that's going to happen under either Romney or Gingrich's leadership, I think you're barking up the wrong tree. Either one might tinker with it a little, but at the end of the day, they'll just try to pass it off in a way that sounds acceptable to the moderate faction of the party - and that will be that.

Whig Newton has taken millions over the years from the healthcare industry. If it's down to us or them, he'll come down on their side - bank on it.
