he said he was surprised by hostility and very hhement. >> this is the good newt, not the bad newt thatgood newt who recognizes nelson mandela for who he was and what he represented. to see newt gingrich to not only say a nice thing about nelson mandela and then to come back and go at his critics and forcefully was amazing. >> give newt credit because this is not a recent conversation on his part. when these debates were spilling over into the united states about sanctions and imprisonment, newt gingrich as a back bench congressman who would soon become a speaker was intellectually honest in saying, you know, what we did in starting the american revolution was we used force against oppression. >> yes. >> he could not understand how conservatives could sit by and say, you know, we're not going to get involved in the notion of equal rights in south africa. newt deserves credit not just for this recent statement but for 20 years of being on the right side of this issue and ultimately of history. >> newt awarded mandela the congressional medal of freedom in 1995 or '96. we know there's two

that's newt's point.t on the budget deal, look, they're arguing pretty narrow differences, so top be able to split the defense, soften some of the defense cuts, take care of some of the emergency needs, that's not hard and i encourage them to do it. >> but your party shut the government down -- >> when you tough the stove and your hand guts burned, you generally don't go back very quickly. they don't have many appetite currently. they're not going to do that? january s they got spanked pretty bad last time. >> you agree that paul ryan is now waving the white flag. >> no, he's not waving the white flag. he's being a constructive leader and taking some heat for it, because he wants to close the gap in a divided government. get what? that takes leadership and courage. >> waving the white flag. he's standing up and being a leader. >> i think the govrns is suggesting we accept yes. >> for the risk of discouraging van, you were with us in the '90s when bill clinton and i worked, and the only four balanced budge

newt gingrich. >> newt gingrich's finest hour of the year. richard?actually it's the way thomas roberts stole my tuxedo tonight. >> three. three. >> but actually, the bigger surprise to be honest, is the way -- botch -- how predictable was it that it was the biggest piece of the second term for this president. but how quickly they fixed it. and having launched a much smaller site although still challenging, i can tell you the fixing it is just as hard as creating it in the first place. an incredible surprise that they turned it around so quickly. obviously, also, how could they screw it up in the first place. >> it was amazing. your biggest surprise? >> immigration reform didn't get a vote in the house and passed the senate, i thought we would have gotten further. >> how could you fall for that? just because they said they were going to do it. >> there was all this conversation even on conservative radio you had on fox news folks saying maybe we should give this immigration reform a try looking at the returns and results of the 2012 campaign, nothing

from rand paul -- >> in newt -- newt's got a chapter on it that is actually i think quite challenging. and eric holder is beginning to talk. >> well, eric holder is adopting ideas that rick perry in texas adopted first. i think this is a case where once again the republican party is out ahead of the democratic party on addressing the issues you care about. >> let me ask you a question that ties together this whole challenge of prisons and unemployment compensation. it strikes me that there are large parts of america where we have got to find a way to have a totally new approach to job training, to education. i'm very impressed with the germans who are the most effective economy in europe. 40% of their population goes into apprenticeship programs and learns how to do very sophisticated manufacturing and they dominate large parts of sophisticated manufacturing. it's really different than our models. and my question, let's take unemployment compensation. i would be eager to support extension if we attach some kind of learning and training program so that people were not just being sustai

going after him and blaming anybody like newt gingrich or ted cruz for saying anything nice. they can't stop the bachmanns with the gohmerts because these people are so deadly out of it. >> i think those people are for the most part from red gerrmandered districts. who don't at this point if they ever did have any thoughts of national office. what you've got going on with people like rand paul and marco rubio and ted cruz is having won their bona fides for the most part with the tea party base, they're looking to expand a little. i know somebody like ted cruz is looking for democrats to do some deals with in a bipartisan fashion. they're looking to change the tone. not their tactics. i mean, not their ultimate objectives, chris. not their philosophy, but a slight change of tone and tactics at least for now.

one of newt and president clinton's seminal success was they doubled -- why?licans get sick, too. i will say this about them, he as bend clinton even as they are cutting some things, even as they were balancing the budget, they found common ground. i would love to see speaker boehner -- and did you. >> but there's another way to see this. >> we had a republican congressman who said this deal, this budget deal got done in spite of president obama, because he wasn't involved. is he relevant? >> i think he's highly relevant. >> how so? where does it end? >> actually this addresses tim, too. this is the problem for president obama that president clinton did not have -- the tea party. . and they really hate president obama. so the more he engages president obama, the more impossible it is for tea party republicans to come on to smp. >> no, that is not -- they hated bush. they said vicious things. >> terrible. >> think back to the reagan years. i was scarred for life. i think that's overstated. the truth is president clinton moved right. it was a conservative play.

newt gingrich is next. streetline has looked at the problem of parking, which has not been looked at for the last 30, 40 years, we wanted to rethink that whole industry, so we go and put out these sensors in each parking spot and then there's a mesh network that takes this information sends it over the internet so you can go find exactly where those open parking spots are. the collaboration with citi was important for providing us the necessary financing; allow this small start-up to go provide a service to municipalities. citi has been an incredible source of advice, how to engage with municipalities, how to structure deals, and as we think about internationally, citi is there every step of the way. so the end result is you reduce congestion, you reduce pollution and you provide a service to merchants, facebook friends. ya know, with new fedex one rate you can fill that box and pay one flat rate. how naughty was he? oh boy...

you need newt gingrich all of a sudden. his presence might seem odd at first and then you begin to see this is the late 70s and early 80s. here is newt gingrich who maybe did more than anyone to create the toxic political role that we live in. you then go back to one of the care received that before and so on and it takes you 35 years through their life stories and the largest story of america to reach the present. i can't say it's a story of shining success because it not, but i don't think it's depressing in the sense that these people have tremendous energy, humor, creativity, a kind of growing object to be about themselves, which is coming in now, the only benefit to getting older. it is i have to say kind of middle-aged story. obvious people come from. worn around the late 50s or 60s and i needed that because i needed their lives to carry the weight of all that history that you can send the late 70s and leads to the present. so that gives you a brief mouth of "the unwinding." i'm going to turn it over to jeremy and the

also let's just be clear, he is against adulterers and cheaters, so we have newt gingrich coming outim. but the statements that he made, and let's just be specific here, it seems like to me a vagina as a man would be more desirable than a man's anus. that's just me. i'm thinking there's more there. she's got more to offer. come on, dudes, you know what i'm saying. but hey, sin, it's not logical, it's not logical. now, i didn't find any of this for 12 years at my catholic school. david, your thoughts on all of this and the fact that is there being a hypersensitivity to his remarks not just about the gay community but also about the african-american community? >> you know, if he went out there and said because of my religious views i think black people are inferior, no one would make him a free speech champion. he had the right to say what he said, people have the right to respond and a & e has the right to say we don't want to do a show with people with such views. the reason why i think bobby jindal and newt gingrich and sarah palin are rushing towards embracing this is these people

joining me for more on nelson mandela, newt gingrich.ook page and put out a statement praising nelson mandela, a man you supported very early on. you were supporter of sanctions against south africa for apartheid. you wrote that on your facebook and then surprised by the reaction you got. i'm just going to read them for folks, a couple of them. such an amazing rewrite of history since 1962 and 1990. i thought you of all people, a historian, would be true to who this guy really was. and then from someone else, this clench first warrior does not deserve respect from informed americans. what do you make from this backlash? >> i was very surprised by it. i posted my statement on her facebook page and amazed at the intensity, some of came back they, four, and five times repeating how angry they were. so i wrote my newsletter on friday. basically, i entitled it, what would you have done? everybody says they love freedom. everybody who is proud of the farmers that stood up to the british army, whoefrn is grateful to george washington for eight

newt gingrich is still with us, van jones, john king.there are two wings on the republican party on a whole bunch of these issues. the john boehner-paul ryan wing on the budget. rand paul, he hated it. others said republicans had no choice. two wings on international issues. isolationests, some like peter king was calling rand paul yesterday. where are you in these wings? >> i'm not sure it's as clear and simple as a two-wing theory. look, i think the house republicans passed the best budget they could negotiate at this point. >> so you're with boehner and ryan? are. >> i said all along, if i were a junior speaker, i might have said no. if i was a speaker, i might have rammed it through. republicans are likely to have a very big win next fall if they can avoid hurting themselves. i think in that sense it's important for them to think through a strategy where they fight for things they believe in, they make clear what certain votes are, but they also remember not to take any of the spotlight off obama. the longer watches, like yesterday's

i understand your version of reality. >> that's not her version of reality, newt. those are facts. >> let me just point out one example that you had alluded to earlier about treating cancer. in your home state, the most important cancer treatment center, the moffitt treatment center has now been dropped because of cuts that the obama care plan made. so everybody who wanted to go there under those plans is now being excluded. you go around the country and talk about people who can't get cancer treatments, i would suggest to you that in many ways obama care is a war on people with critical disease. >> just wait until the employers have the option of drop the insurance coverage. if you think things are bad now on the individual mandate, wait until the employers and businesses drop the plans. >> your solution -- >> the president made a specific promise. let me just finish. not just that people could keep their insurance, but he made a specific promise that if people wanted to keep their high ded t deductible insurance, that they could keep their insurance. now that pro

. >> and although there are probably all kinds of motives for people like ted cruz and newt gingrich stepping up to celebrate mandela and his legacy and attending the memorial service, it is at least for a second, for a moment good for americans to see that these people at the extremes of our political spectrum can come together around this. i have to say, i was interested thinking about mandela and obama yesterday, i went back to obama's books to see, oh, he must have talked about the mandela example in the book. not so much. there was one mention of mandela in each book. i was sort of surprised at that given as he has said that he was a figure of -- a model to him as a young man when he learned of his struggle. >> i wonder how much because mandela was the first black president of south africa and president obama is the first black president of america, the drawing of parallel lines is somewhat inevitable. the president remarked on in the speech, he will never be the man madiba was nor does he propose that he is. i think he's been hesitant to step into the line of inheritance, if yo

we saw that with newt gingrich and rick santorum. these guys did not have broad- based appeal. we would talk about campaign- finance, what does that indicate? traditionally, the amount of money they raised really reflected kind of support among donors.worked with the internet, we really have to look at how many donors are giving and is a small donors or big donors? it doesn't tells a lot about the support. or their appeal. i don't think it changes whether they are electable or not, but i do think it makes them competitive. it can really mucked things up. more generally, the internet. i think it is reinvigorated momentum as a possibility presidential nomination, simply because from roughly the 1970s through 2000, arguably 2004, candidates could not have the capacity with an increasingly frontloaded primary schedule to raise the money and make a difference. now they can. they can raise money really, really quickly. that gives the potential for a candidate who beats expectations like a barack obama. now obama in 2008 was well- funded, but, man, he really shops forward with his cam

i was trying to get paul walker's stuntman and paul walker's friend, newt, they're his best friends.ad no clue what was going on. i was saying, look, i think he was in a fire, a car accident because there's a fire. and he said, well, there's a special effects building behind us that they blow things up all the time. nobody was taking me serious. finally, eric, paul walker's stuntman, waumgdu walked upment and i said eric, i know they were in an accident. i haven't heard from my son yet. and my friend mitch said, i'm going going up there. when he start the up there, they took off behind him. and they went up in the hill around the corner where the loop was. that's when i got my call from the sun that it was definitely a car accident and the car was on fire. and everybody grabbed fire extinguishers and went up there. unfortunately it was too late. the fire department arrived within 30 seconds that they arrived up there. and there was nothing anybody could do. paul walker's best friend did everything he could with the flames. he was trying to get his best friend out of the car and he ju

so i went to the back of the room and newt was there. i tell them that there were 33 no and two yes. and he said we thought we were doing better than we were. it got leaked out. ideas give you energy. if you don't have any ideas to the positive, you don't have any energy. and if you don't have any energy, you are not appealing. there is a tendency to rely on negative and anger and all that stuff. that doesn't create any imagination, any vision, any excitement for anybody if you do things that way. you are having to deal with the crazies like me in 1995 and 1996. >> thank god you were there. >> well, yeah, we blew ourselves up because we were so negative and we so focused on being against the bill clinton. once we got up there, it took us a while to figure it out. >> like in 1995, one thing that people never understood about the shutdown was that the clinton administration was trying to cook the books. they had phony economic numbers. they were projecting the economy would grow by 4% or 5% -- i don't remember the numbers. they were unreal

on the right, newt gingrich. in the crossfire, l.z.rand enson and penny young-nance who's against it. where do we draw the line between bigotry and belief, tonight on "crossfire." >>> welcome to "crossfire." i'm van jones on the left. >> i'm newt gingrich on the right. on the crossfire tonight guests with opposite views on mr. the a & e should have suspended phil robertson for paraphrasing a passage in the bible. suspending robertson, frankly, is a stupid decision. it is truly ironic that the week before christmas, the head of a christian family has been suspended for talking about his christian faith. a & e was content to make millions as long as viewers were tuning in to watch tamed reality television, but this is true reality. robertson is who he is. my first advice here in the country is -- take a deep breath. it's christmas. be charitable. try to break out of this cycle of running around trying out who's going to offend us next. >> well, you know, newt, i think we're probably going to disagree with us on this. it is christmas. to

newt gingrich just compared phil robertson to the pope. remarks like these have been the norm for the right in defending phil robertson and it's the aw shucks defense. if you're a christian and southern and aw shucks, you just don't know any better, it's totally acceptable on the right for you to be a bigot. and you know, what the aw shucks defense, it's working. a & e network suspension of robertson, forget about it. the network announced robertson will be in the new episodes next year and even running a "duck dynasty" marathon over the holiday for the kids. following the controversy, crack crackle barrel stores yanked their merchandise but fans went ballistic. fans bottom baumbarded the stor crackle barrel cracked. they released a statement on their facebook page skag, quote, when we made the decision to remove many items, we offended many loyal customers. today we are putting our products back in the stores and we apologize for offending you. this comes at the same time there's a new video of robertson that has surfaced. here's robertso

so it's no longer the harmless sort of newt going rich campaign rhetoric. it's accompanied by actual policy decisions that have had real-world impact on people. >> but, dana, what gets me is the demonizing. i mean, we just played that tape of ronald reagan. more than just the policy is the need to denigrate, to demonize, to in many ways make people that are already suffering appear so outrageously exploitative and like they are some kind of criminals almost when they're really, in most cases, in need. >> right, reverend. and, in fact, if you look at those who are on these programs, it's, the stereotype that the conservatives are projecting has a racial component, has an urban component. in fact, it's nothing of the sort and it's widespread. a lot of the constituents of louie gohmert who you just played there, these other republicans are people on food stamps and the wic program and others like this. but, look, it's the oldest story in politics. it makes it a lot easier to make your case if you can have a villain, if you can have a demon, and if you can dema

. >> from the right, i'm newt gingrich. join us tomorrow for another edition of "crossfire."burnett "outfront" starts right now. >>> "outfront" next, preventing another tragedy. >> the greatest protection ultimately would be an armed presence in the school. >> as we approach the one-year anniversary of the tragedy at newtown, what can be done to prevent future sandy hooks? >> plus, vice president joe biden in china. can he stop what our allies see as alarming aggression in the east? >> this is a consequential relationship that will affect the course of the 21st century. >> new incriminating allegations about embattled toronto mayor rob ford. >> yes, i have smoked crack cocaine.

. >> yeah, you know, newt gingrich and bill clinton worked together and tipper o'neil and ronald reagan. he had not a single republican vote in the house or senate for his health care bill. what he is really shown is he is a sneaky president. he is not very transparent. >> that's not true. that's not fear. >> it is one of the least transparent presidencies than we have seen. i wish i could share john tamney's op tau -- optimism. >> we have to leave it at that. coming up, target gets hacked and the law says immediately tell your customers. but guess what the health care law says. if the obamacare website gets hacked this one will have you saying what the heck. >>> we are live from america's news headquarterses and we've got you covered. i'm jaime colby. the fbi releasing photos of a suspect wanted in connection with two bank robberies and the shooting of two police officers. the first holdup took place in mississippi. that's where one officer was shot and killed and another critically wounded. the man is suspected of also hitting a bank in atlanta on the same day. the feds are asking any

when newt gring rich won phil got a call, you got a conservative don't you? yes, his name is hugh hewitt. >> they had on liberals all the time. if you watch the news hour it was unbalanced and remains to a certain extent unbalanced. david brooks is their conservative. he's a conservative but he's not a conservatives conservative. he's like me, a center right guy. they gave me a show and i did a show about religion and it changed my life and got me interested in writing about and broadcasting about religion. pbs was very unbalanced and n.p.r. is very unbalanced. it was the one thing i would have gone to bat for to cut out of the budget as a symbolic thing because it does not represent well the broad spectrum of american opinion that funds it. this show is very fair and c-span is very fair but not n.p.r. n.p.r. is i had logically criven. all their listeners are listening to n.p.r. >> it's popular though. >> it's great product. it's subherb quality. >> they say very little of the money that comes from the feds a percent and a half they say? >> that's true and th

. >> and i'm newt gingrich. be sure to join us tomorrow. debbie wasserman schultz and reince priebus will be with us. erin burnett starts right now. >>> out front next. deadly speed. >> the event recorders shows that the train was traveling at approximately 82 miles per hour as it went into a 30-mile-per-hour curve. >> the latest on the crash that killed four people. >>> plus a new attack on the president. >> i think the current administration has taken lying to a new level. >>> and death of

but, i mean -- newt gingrich out there comparing robertson to the pope.he political up side of this? >> well, they don't want to talk. they don't want to talk at all, if you really consider, ed, about the idea that we have an economy that's improving, has improved for the last 45 months. that we have millions enrolled in obamacare. they don't want to talk about positive things, like 45 consecutive months of job growth. so this is one of those black santa kind of moments when they would rather talk about daddy duck and say this is this poor, maligned character, and let's take our focus there. so we see this quite often. i mean, you know -- when they want to move away from issues that really matter to americans, they go to issues like this. it's no surprise. >> you know, no issue is certainly more important than the other. but goldie, i find it interesting that the naacp has responded. but what this man said about african-americans and what they have gone through in this country, the life of the black people in this country before civil rights, i mean, i ju
