    As a black woman who was a former liberal Democrat? I never listened to this guy, because I was told to dismiss him. Now that I am in my early 40s, lived some life, healed my racial insecurities, and stopped listening to the race bating hatred? This guy makes total logical sense. LOL it's really interesting what healing will do to you, your perceptions about the world and it's people.

      Thank you for being open minded and dedicated to the truth and good values and seeing past the divide and conquer bullshit. This from a slightly younger white guy, called racist more times than I can count.... Raised in a trailer park, served 2 tours in Iraq, 2 college degrees, great career... still looked at by many who are brainwashed as the scum of the earth because of the rhetoric that appeals in some to the very thing they claim to abhor in order to consolidate support and exert pressure on those that dissent. Thank you.

      How did you reach that healing? The question we have to answer now is how we duplicate your healing experience. So many people are languishing in pain and ignorance like a battered woman in an abusive relationship as they listen to the lefts lies. How do we help repeat your results I wonder? (Just thinking aloud) What helped you open your heart in the beginning of your transformation? What/who made an impact on you in the beginning when you started doubting your previously held beliefs?

    My brothers were homeschooled almost all their school years. I was educated that way for the last two years of high school. Results? Both of my brothers became leaders in industry. Their wives are leaders in their careers. My husband, son and I are caregivers. Everyone works and helps others. My brothers have been polite and friendly through all these years. They had no problems getting jobs and scored extremely high in the college entrance exams. We are all blessed and I have my Mom to thank because she organized our classroom, made sure we had an excellent schedule, took us to museums, libraries and historic sites and encouraged us to read and think and question whatever we listened to.

      Gingrich is in no way humble. That you believe he is speaks to his strengths as a politician.
      The Contract with America was a gimmick to get votes. Period. Every politician that signed the Contract, including Gingrich, breached the contract immediately after getting elected.
      The linchpin of that contract was Term Limits. Abandoned immediately. Gingrich has done not done anything towards that goal. Some great spin and revisionist thinking on his part.
      How has any of his legacy advanced socioeconomic progress? That man was utterly ineffective. And he’s no great historian either. He is in entirely a BSing politician.

      It really is amazing how easy it is to actually look up the Contract with America on this new fangled invention called the interwebz, and also very surprising that you didn't do so before posting your basic ignorance in this comment section.
      To be fair maybe you aren't capable of comprehending what was actually written in the Contract with America, or maybe you can't be bothered to know what actually occurred in Newt Gingrich's terms in the House of Reps.
      *The linchpin of that contract was Term Limits.*
      This sentence feels like you are living in your fees fees right now, but I really can't say for sure that I know for a fact that you have placed your fees fees over facts. Whether or not you are living your life in your fees fees, it seems likely to me after reading the actual document that term limits wasn't the lynch pin that you think it was, at least for the Contract with America. Also Gingrich didn't even come close to serving more time than he was allotted by the terms of that contract so....
      *Abandoned immediately. Gingrich has done not done anything towards that goal. Some great spin and revisionist thinking on his part.*
      Seems likely to me that you are engaging in a bit of spin and revisionist thinking yourself; just given your interpretation of events and what term limits actually mean in the Contract with America.
      *How has any of his legacy advanced socioeconomic progress?*
      This feels like something a leftist would write honestly, or at least someone who 100% believes that big government advances socioeconomic progress. Of course the fact that you are a big government proponent also naturally puts you in direct opposition to Gingrich and the Contract with America.
      *That man was utterly ineffective. And he’s no great historian either. He is in entirely a BSing politician.*
      Honestly seems like you aren't much of a historian either; so you might want to stop throwing rocks from the front door of your glass house.
      What entertains me to no end though, is how often leftists like yourself think that your opinion about who does or doesn't measure up as a conservative should matter.

      It's paraphrasing Adam Smith. The actual and more extensive quote (I would note "quotes", as Smith addressed the idea more than once) would suggest that such gatherings should not be banned by government, and any proposed regulation be minimized and adopted only after long and careful study as to unintended consequences. BTW, I'm sure I've heard Newt comment on the more comprehensive argument by Smith.

      A direct result of the redicalized left: prior to early 21 014, the Walmart,, where I worked had a transvestite gay fellow as a customer service manager. He acted effeminate. In fact, he either leered at me or tried to flirt with me. Usually both. He had a very unreasonable customer one night. He, being black, channeled an aggressive black mother. He treated that person who paid his salary like a naughty child. He was reported to higher management, and immediately terminated. Pure vindication of reinforced insanity.

      ​@@cindyrobertson3798Hi Cindy, I agree, learning to listen and stay undestracted is essential to learning. My grandfather was a great teacher, he was an amazing craftsman, he would make things for me when I visited him on school break each summer. He would talk while he showed me what he was doing and explain why he did things in the steps he did to make them. He made me a wooden chess set using a lathe for all of the bases and then hand carving the heads of the pieces. He also made the chessboard out of a dark and white hardwoods. He made me a beautiful dagger out of a file. He ground the file into shape on the electric grinder and then fine tuned it with sandpaper, and finished it with sanding rouge to a mirror finish. He fashioned a brass handguard and end piece and made circles from a quarter inch thick piece of leather. He put the dagger on the late again and filed the handle to shape with a hand file. The burnt the leather into beautiful shades of browns to black. That was the most beautiful dagger I have ever seen. He also made miniature tool set for me, it included a steel vice about an inch and a half long that actually opened and close. Working pliers about 3/4 inch long, a ball peen hammer with steel head, and wood handle. and a flat-head screw driver in the same scale. My mom through all that out when the family moved one time. She didn't even know what was in the cigar boxes I kept that stuff in. But she also tossed my chess set and chessboard...which I found to be so stupid I couldn't believe she could do such a thing!!! I still have a miniature spinning wheel that actually spins by pushing on the foot lever. It is a foot tall. Ah,,,the memories. Aye?

Homeschooled in San Diego K-12 (real hs, not given assignments by a public school), 1 now in grad school, the other studying engineering. We delved into history, our Constitution, used Hillsdale College's free courses in high school. Mr. Peterson, this is a great interview. Get your kids out of public school. If you home school right, you'll be out & about busy. People always commented as to they're mannerly & well spoken/look adults in the eye. Both been to Israel w one of them 3x, both to DC to lobby Congress, learn leadership. Grad just got back from 4th trip to DC. Neither allowed to do social media until graduating high school, had to pick up the phone. We lived humbly, bought in barrio neighborhood, keep cars 19 yrs to live off 1 income. You can do it folks!

      Newt Gingirch is no 'gentleman' - if you think so, you know nothing about this man. He is/was a very shady career politician. He is arguably the one who started this hardcore partisanship in the 80s.
      "A number of scholars have credited Gingrich with playing a key role in undermining democratic norms in the United States, and hastening political polarization and partisan prejudice.[6][7][8][68][69][70][71][72][9][73][74][10] According to Harvard University political scientists Daniel Ziblatt and Steven Levitsky, Gingrich's speakership had a profound and lasting impact on American politics and health of American democracy. They argue that Gingrich instilled a "combative" approach in the Republican Party, where hateful language and hyper-partisanship became commonplace, and where democratic norms were abandoned" - sound familiar? Exactly what we all hate in American politics, he started. Don't let this interview fool you.
      He voted against many common sense policies simply because they were by the other 'team'. Bills like the the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 he voted against.

    I've always considered Mr. Gingrich to be formidable and articulate in my youth; however, at the time I was raised a working class Liberal and my father ran on Row D for local assemblyman. That said, like my father, I have always been fiscally conservative, pro-freedom, anti-war, law abiding, moral, anti-racist, pro-worker, anti-welfare, pro-family, etc. I would be considered a Conservative today with those same values. I am not affiliated with any party, independent and vote for who I feel will best represent me and my family. In the past, I tended to vote more Democratic and supported Clinton, Mario Cuomo and even Chuck Schumer and I never understand the influence Mr. Gingrich has had on those people. Most people I know treat their party like their favorite sports team with stubborn loyalty regardless of their party's shift in ideology and don't even realize it. This has been an eye opener for me.

      Newt Gingirch is a very shady career politician. He is arguably the one who started this hardcore partisanship in the 80s. He was like the Steve Bannon of his day. He basically did GOP's dirty work during that period and they repaid him by elevating him to the whip.
      "A number of scholars have credited Gingrich with playing a key role in undermining democratic norms in the United States, and hastening political polarization and partisan prejudice.[6][7][8][68][69][70][71][72][9][73][74][10] According to Harvard University political scientists Daniel Ziblatt and Steven Levitsky, Gingrich's speakership had a profound and lasting impact on American politics and health of American democracy. They argue that Gingrich instilled a "combative" approach in the Republican Party, where hateful language and hyper-partisanship became commonplace, and where democratic norms were abandoned" - sound familiar? Exactly what we all hate in American politics, he started. Don't let this interview fool you.
      He voted against many common sense policies simply because they were by the other 'team'. Bills like the the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 he voted against.

    I am pleased to hear your appreciation of Newt Gingrich. I have not read any of his books, and have never made a study of him, but I just really appreciate his apparent sincerity and a kind of humility that keeps one's words realistic. It was because I sensed the dedication of this man, that I wrote to him for his advice regarding one of my grandson's, who seemed to me to be kind of stuck in the middle of a situation that kept him so often silenced. I wrote to Mr. Gingrich, and he recommended The National Geographic for children. I thanked him in a short letter, and began the magazine for my grandson He really got into it. The child had also expressed a growing interest in insects. His enthusiasm for the NATGO, encouraged me to offer more information for his intellectual grown and to keep him happy in his findings. I discovered a publication about insects in a binder, with additional periodical pages to add.( I think they came every month for a year.) He loved this as well. He is now in his late thirties, with a good job, a great wife, a sweet little girl, and some dogs, on ten acres in Texas. What impressed me most about the response from Mr. Gingrich, was that he even bothered with me at all, in such a trivial matter in comparison to other matters in his daily doings. This also impressed my young grandson, that someone in Washington would care about his pleasure, or lack of it. He was a quiet kid, and a good kid, and became more and more confident. I know it was a small thing, but small things can turn mole hills into mountains, -or something like that. I have always thought that Newt was a good Speaker; further, he was fair with Bill Clinton, (I thought), and cares about our country and its citizens. He, or someone he trusted, saw to it that somebody bothered to give a grandmother advice to help activate the struggling imagination of a young child. I am still thankful to him; and I thank you too, -for recognizing the good deeds of such a good person.

      Thank you for sharing this with us. Your story really touched my heart and so happy to hear your grandson is doing so well. A beautiful story really, and it reminded me of one of mine. I hope you don’t mind me sharing it here.
      A few years back, after my Dad had passed away, I had been going through what had been some of his old office papers and such from before his retirement years. Actually, there was a lot of papers from after his retirement as well now that I think about it. Anyways, through some of his folders, I had found letters from our senator who had been in the senate for a considerable amount of time and also those of some of our representatives. A lot of these letters, if not all, had been handwritten. They had answered my Dad’s concerns through their own penmanship. My Dad was a normal, everyday, hardworking constituent, that was all. He never wore business suits, never hung around politicians, that’s for sure, he also related better with his dog than a good number of people, and found his peace in our woods. My Dad was one of my most favorite people in this world, and I miss him every single day and always will. My Mum would have claimed it’s because I am so much like him, and now that I’m older, I would agree.
      I do believe there had been a time before the internet, our politicians would hand write their own letters. I’d like to think they did this to their more important ones, but I’m being a bit selfish there. I truly believe your letter touched his heart and pulled at his heart strings all at the same time. You searched out for a person you had respected and believed he could give you solid advice and he did. He saw your honesty and your love for your grandchild and so of course he felt it necessary to answer you properly and with thought. I wouldn’t be surprised if he remembers your letter about your grandson and maybe one day you can ask, or simply write to give him an update from years past.
      Again, thank you for sharing.
      Be well. 💐

"Moot Miit" Romney stopped Newt in the GOP Primary,.... and then threw in the towel instead of fighting to win and gave it to "The Won!" (O: "Show us the documents, Candy!", and then Miit failed to rip him a new one for rigging a national Presidential Debate.)

    I actually thought he probably wasn't qualified to be president In 2012.. which was the first election I was old enough to take part in. My assumptions were entirely incorrect. He seems like a smart guy and a well rounded candidate. I'm glad JP had this talk with him, giving me a chance to familiarize myself with Mr. Newt Gingrich a bit better. Especially considering I was completely uninformed on him before this video.

      @@bhough410 my initial assumptions were based on literally no information at all. It's not foolish to change your assumptions when confronted by new information. Not doing so would be foolish.. also being "bought and paid for" isn't inherently bad. For instance, if the people who are paying him are good people with fair and balanced ideals and reasonable expectations with the intent to do actual good are who "bought" him. I'm not saying that's the case, just pointing out that it's possible. Another possibility is that maybe he's being supported by benefactors who believe he is the one with the fair and balanced ideals and believe in his abilities and his track record. Being paid for what you do isn't a bad thing.. it usually means that you're good at what you do.

      He is very smart and articulate. The problem with him for most of us who are older was his personal life. His treatment of his ex-wives was abominable, but by today's loose standards, he might have gotten a pass on it.

    I have recently discovered Jordan Peterson And his conversations with many Others. So many of the comments and evaluations here by these 2 men can be found in scripture. This is what it means when the scripture says his word will not come back void. You really can't unknown the truth once you've known it. Another thing I would like to reflect on is so many positive comments. This is the evolution of Christianity into the heart and mind of man. I'm so faithful to be a part of it.

    Speaker Gingrich and the Contract were part of my earliest political education and, when contrasted with what I saw on the other side of the isle (c-span was an incredible educational tool at the time), an unavoidable shaper of a thoughtful, logical worldview. I still have couple of his books kicking around the house here somewhere, I believe. It's fantastic to see him still active, still as lucid and formidable as ever.

    I listened to this podcast the other day and immediately shared it. So many great points made. I've always been skeptical of Gingrich for about 20 years now seeing as he was a CFR member and seems to have his fingers in the globalist pudding. However, his insight and experience speak for themselves. He knows what he's talking about even if I don't always agree with his values. I appreciate the spirit in which Peterson and Gingrich are able to dialogue.

    Loved this conversation, reminded me of the ones I used to have with my dad. It really struck me when Speaker Gingrich started talking about being involved in balancing the federal budget after they won big in 1994. Both my dad and I were really impressed that they had been able to do it, but I, similar to what Gingrich said about the Fed and Greenspan's reaction to it, was wondering what sort of an affect it would have on Treasury rates and that in general it might get the system sort of out of whack. His response was, "Well, they're part of the government, sooner or later it'll dawn on them that they actually balanced the budget, and they'll start spending money like it's somebody else's money again." Sure enough, the press just kept at it with Gingrich and eventually ran him out of the Speakership, and the spigot was cranked back up and everything started going downhill after that.
    It would be nice if the Republicans get back the Congress in 2022, if someone can step up and fill the void. This country sorely needs some intellect and competence to sit juxtaposed against the "cleverness" of the current administration. I mean, if we're all forced to heat our homes with wood stoves because every other source of energy is in short supply and outrageously expensive, versus freezing to death, is that really the most efficient way? Did big government really help? Was the solution they came up with really "clever"?

      Abraham's faith that was accounted to him for righteousness. He too had no righteousness. And God looks at our faith too. I agree with you completely that fear and doubt are giant stumbling blocks, and that our nation needs healing. It sickens me to think of the mess caused by ignorance; but we can remember that "all things" can work together for good. And we should keep our minds on the Lord, which is not always the case. Yet, God sees us in Christ, who paid our debt. Our righteousness is from Christ, thus the scripture, "We are the righteousness of God in Christ." If we sin we have an advocate with the Father, who is Jesus Christ our Lord; and it is his righteousness that we turn to. Some day faith will become sight, and what a day that will be.
      I found this recording encouraging, and I liked your response to it. This is what we need. They did really get along so well, and it was beautiful. Thank God for reasonable God believing folks. Forgive my butting in but I wanted to say a few words. Do make it a point to never ever allow this world to rob you of your victory or condemn yourself for your failings. Acknowledge them, but remember that God sees your debt paid. Taking these precautions will give you a more victorious life. Tell the Devil he's a liar, believe that God has you hear for a reason, and experience the joy that some do not know. We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God. We sin because we are sinners. Thank God for his great love. One day, this faith shall be sight, and we will know as we are known. I figure I know enough to keep me busy until my time is up. Until then, I want to be smack dab in the middle of God's will. I have been so blessed. I want folks knowing that God sees his children as redeemed. Stay safe.

    meaning.
    Also the rhetoric of both parties in the USA is just as bad.
    It was nice to hear history, and truth coming from Newt.
    As an American I am going to scrutinize more politicians by looking at their actions not just listening to their rhetoric which is just blah blah gobilty gook.
