here's newt gingrich. he's always an opportunist. hillary clinton's leadership at as secretary of the state regard ing nigeria. he said it's indefensible that they didn't name boko haram a terrorist group. by the way, newt gingrich, the fact is they named the three top leaders to the terrorists. meanwhile, andrew mccarthy wrielting in the national review, mrs. clinton, like the obama administration more broadly believes appeasing islamists, avoiding actions that might give them offense, slamming americans that provoke them, support peace and stability. hillary clinton's tenure at the state department was a disaster. more ridiculous still, listen to what rush limbaugh said just today. >> the boko haram leader or whoever, that performed on video is a good looking guy. this is why mrs. clinton wouldn't call this group a terror group. because they're black. can't afford to do that. this is how surface conscious the left is. we can't call them terrorists because they look like african-americans. and we just can't go there. >> i have never

this thing about newt gingrich, you have to wonder, chris, this is prove of opportunity. the reason newt is tweeting is he's not on the air. he's not using the old "crossfire." >> it is shameful politics. i would be remiss if i didn't mention the fact that hillary clinton back in beijing years ago was one of the first u.s. leaders to come out and say women's rights are legal rights. he people poo-pooed it. we're talking about the abduction of slightly under 300 young girls in nigeria. we're playing politics with the lives of the women. that's sick. >> women's rights is one part of the issue. the other sub subtext is religion. there was an attack on a catholic church in nigeria where they killed people. >> because they're catholics? >> because they're catholics. and what the connective tissue is for the people attacking hillary and barack obama is that somehow they're soft on islamists. they don't say it in quite those words, but that's what they're talking about. >> because obama is a muslim? >> there you go. >> for anyone who doesn't understand it. we should say he really

newt gingrich agreed with democrats. was it ineffective? >> i do not think so.t is an important election. it speaks to everyone's fascination. my suspicion is it was not planned by karl rove. it was an errant missile. she is out there with a lot of energy. they are going to have to come out with a better attack. when you look at the presidential race, if she does not run, others will get in. who will win the electoral college majority? have the republicans done anything? to help themselves with young --ers, hispanic voters latino voters, women voters? a resounding no. >> pick up on that. >> i agree it was not planned in any way. i think it's a couple of things. hillary clinton is a good story. she is going to run. the intensity in which the pushback came is an indication that she is very likely to run. >> have republicans done anything to help themselves with minorities? >> i do not think that is necessarily the case. you have younger voices like marco rubio as somebody like rand paul who is out there talking to younger voters and latino voters. that does not me

you have newt gingrich and others starting a group called right on crime. there's a movement to put solutions on the shelf. we withdraw from civic engagement and don't go out and vote and don't try to get more choices on the ballot with third parties, etc.. this is what this book is about. it ise may say well, pie-in-the-sky. no, it is not pie-in-the-sky. as i mentioned, the auto safety bill was a convergence victory. in 1983, there was a right-left convergence to defeat the boom dollar -- the boondoggle water treatment plant. it was considered unstoppable because of that senator howard baker behind it and ronald reagan behind it. we beaded 56 to 40. , thehistleblowing bill false claims act of 1986, that was senator grassley, republican. and, of course, the recent government fraud and corporate front of the taxpayer. >> we tried to find a first appearance on this network. the one we found was that this one? here's what you're saying back in 1985. >> people are looking at the current state of consumer issues. the observation can be made, all the big battles
