What to Do About the DOJ | Newt Gingrich

“What to Do About the DOJ”
Newt Gingrich
Former Speaker of the House

This speech was given on February 14, 2024, during a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar in Naples, Florida.

Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.

The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.

By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.

Good talk. I’m retired military and have been saying for a very long time that the federal government needs to be reduced by 80%. Congress should have to give an up or down vote on every single regulation or rule that the executive branch prepares pursuant to laws that Congress has passed.

He says Lincoln had to 'clean house' ... it has come down to that again! Thanks Mr. Gingrich

[DrBCaruso]

Thank you so much Hillsdale College for bringing Newt Gingrich to the podium. He's absolutely right spot on.

[edzanjero]

I knew a retired Federal employee of a 3-letter Agency, and what Newt says is absolutely true. The Federal govt holds the American citizen in utter contempt. We mean nothing to them.

Excellent! Buckle up buttercup, this country is going for a ride!

[danstegall]

Unless “We The People” stand together as one and demand an end to this bureaucratic BS, we will forever be a laughing stock to these corrupt elites. We greatly outnumber them so let’s get off our butts and VOTE! These people need to be shown the door.

Hillsdale College. I'm a big fan. Thank you. Those who wrote the Constitution did not recommend Big Government. We are suffering consequences of the bloat today.

Hillsdale College is a one of a kind school and a priceless gem for freedom in the United States. I thank the Lord for Hillsdale!

I love newt. Here's an interesting story, I started watching Newt Gingrich at least 40 years ago when he was teaching classes in college. I was living back at home still with my parents and maybe it was even 50 years ago and I was just intrigued and absorbed by his teaching politics. Then I moved out my parents home obviously, and got a real life. But I never lost my interest in politics. I don't know how old newt gingriches but this is a guy that I hope stays healthy and continues to give his lectures and wisdom to us for many more years!

A truly stunningly intelligent, thoughtful and accurate analysis of the USA today. Well Done Mr. Gingrich.

[rcbrown]

Very smart man. I wish he was still in Congress.

[irinadavidofflavrentyeva]

Mr. Gingrich! I'd recognise your voice out of all others! I was so glad to hear you again!! Your voice is the voice of reason, , wisdom, and hope. Thank you for relieving this "naked" truth to us, we need to know. You are absolutely right. We live in a dark times, when truth is being perverted and, even, our legislative system is no longer impartial. If it continues like that - we - people and our country are doomed! Thank you, Newt, for being a real patriot!
