People need to hear what I have to say. There's no one else who can say what I can say. It doesn't matter what I live.

Why not aspire to build a real Jurassic Park?

In very rare circumstances, the executive branch might choose to ignore a court decision.
Newt Gingrich -
The thing that shocks people... is that I mean what I say. I don't use hyperbole.
Newt Gingrich -
Cincinnati has one of the most diverse animal collections in the world, with more than 500 species represented. They also have a really good insect exhibit.
Newt Gingrich -
I would replace most foreign aid with a tax credit for businesses to invest. I think U.S. bureaucrats giving foreign bureaucrats money is a guaranteed failure. And we've had about 50 years' experience at failing with foreign aid.
Newt Gingrich -
I don't think right-wing social engineering is any more desirable than left-wing social engineering. I don't think imposing radical change from the right or the left is a very good way for a free society to operate. I think we need a national conversation to get to a better Medicare system with more choices for seniors.
Newt Gingrich -
I don't know of a single economist who disagrees that when you raise the minimum wage, you kill jobs for the poor.

I have two grandchildren: Maggie is 11; Robert is 9. I am convinced that if we do not decisively win the struggle over the nature of America, by the time they're my age they will be in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists and with no understanding of what it once meant to be an American.
Newt Gingrich -
The time for double standards that allow Islamists to behave aggressively toward us while they demand our weakness and submission is over.
Newt Gingrich -
Give the park police more ammo.

Whether it's his beloved game of polo or his magical success in business, Norman Brinker simply does not know how to lose.
Newt Gingrich -
It is impossible to maintain civilization with 12-year-olds having babies, with 15-year-olds killing each other, with 17-year-olds dying of AIDS and with 18-year-olds getting diplomas they can’t even read.
Newt Gingrich -
People have to render judgment. In my case, I've said upfront openly, I've made mistakes at times. I've had to go to God for forgiveness. I've had to seek reconciliation. But I'm also a 68-year-old grandfather, and I think people have to measure who I am now and whether I'm a person they can trust.

Somehow we must reintegrate the scientific with the popular and reconnect the future to the present. This is less a job for scientists, engineers, bureaucrats, and administrators and more a job for novelists, moviemakers, popularizers, and politicians.
Newt Gingrich -
I pray before virtually every speech and virtually every major decision.
Newt Gingrich -
We're at the crossroads. Down one road is a European centralized bureaucratic socialist welfare system in which politicians and bureaucrats define the future. Down the other road is a proud, solid, reaffirmation of American exceptionalism.
Newt Gingrich -
When you come to America, you get to become an American, and Trump, who has grandparents who came to the U.S., should understand this as much as anybody.
Newt Gingrich -
The government shut down 12 times under Democratic House Speaker Tip O'Neill. It was only shut down twice while I was speaker.
Newt Gingrich -
The bigotry question goes both ways. There's a lot more anti-Christian bigotry today than there is concerning the other side. None of it gets covered by the news media.

The one period of glory in NASA was the first nine years when they weren't a bureaucracy yet... and they haven't gotten back to that excitement, that adventurism, and won't. So, I would take most of the NASA budget, and I would turn it into prizes for private sector.
Newt Gingrich -
You can't trust anybody with power.
Newt Gingrich -
There I was on the front page of the 'London Times' as speaker of the House with an animal on top of my head. I liked it, but it was not what my staff thought was appropriately dignified.
Newt Gingrich -
President Obama is the most successful food stamp president in American history. I would like to be the most successful paycheck president in American history.
