Newt Gingrich

They're actually negotiating. Now what has John Boehner said for three weeks? We need to negotiate. Why we're all celebrating the Senate tonight? Because they're negotiating.

Well, look, I think that this is the beginning of a long conversation. I think the country does understand we've got to get our deficits under control.

Elections have consequences.

Who was the one person who would not negotiate? President Obama.

This is what happens when you have a fundamental difference between the Congress and the president.

You have enough votes in the Senate now to pass every single one of those targeted continuing resolutions if Harry Reid would make then an orders --

At some point, it's Harry Reid who is the obstructionist.

Harry Reid is not taking any of them.

I think part of the winning strategy is passing a series of clean, targeted continuing resolutions...

The big difference in Washington today is I don't sense that Barack Obama has anything like the personal skills that Bill Clinton had.

The underlying pressure of conservatives has actually moved the base of the Republican Party on this issue a fair distance.

Ted Cruz ran on the grounds that he would fight in Washington. He didn't promise he'd win. He promised he would fight.

Sure. Look, no one wants the United States to go into default and the United States isn't going to go into default. The treasury has, as you well know, many technical skills dragging this thing on for months. We attach things to the debt…

I have no concern about political damage.

I think you always have to worry. First of all you don't know what the Iranians are going to do to defend and protect Assad who has become in many, many ways their principal ally.

This is an act of war. For Secretary Kerry to say, I don't see us getting into war as he prepares to fire missiles at a sovereign country, is totally misleading language.

I'd vote no but I'll also say to you, if Assad is still sitting there after the strikes, he's going to be in the position to say the United States didn't do much to affect me. I'm still in charge. And then what do we do?

The fact is, the treaty doesn't require military action.

The most tough-minded answer to that question demonstrates that rebuilding and protecting New Orleans is in the national interest.

I think race has an enormous impact on decision after decision. I think you almost have to be blind to America and not realize that we still have very, very deep elements that go all the way back to slavery and segregation and that go all…

Join us one hour from now at 10:00 p.m. Eastern for 'Race and Justice in America.' AC 360's town hall, Geoffrey Canada, Charles Blow, Newt Gingrich, a great conversation about a really vital issue, especially in the wake of the Zimmerman…

I think race has an enormous impact on decision after decision. I think you almost have to be blind to America to not realize that we still have very, very deep elements that go all the way back to slavery and segregation and then go all…

More dynamic, more inclusive Republican Party.

I have nothing but fond memories of serving with Tom Foley. We worked together when we could, competed when we had to, and cooperated for the national interest as far as possible.

The greatest difference in our generation may not be between liberals and conservatives, but between the pioneers of the future and prisoners of the past.
