Ep 735: Journey To America With Newt Gingrich

Welcome to a special episode of the Sisterhood of Sweat. Today, I'm delighted to be joined by former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich. We'll be discussing Newt and his wife Calista's new documentary, "Journey to America," which premieres tonight on PBS. Newt is a renowned politician, author, and historian, and I'm excited to dive into his remarkable journey from history professor to public servant. Let's get started with this insightful conversation.   We discuss: Newt Gingrich's background and political career Transition from history professor to public life Importance of religion and moral guidance in society Legal vs. illegal immigration Inspiring immigrant stories in documentary Collaboration with wife Calista on projects California wildfires and government policies Helping people recover from natural disasters   Here are the 6 quotes from Newt Gingrich shortened: 1. "That hit me that countries can die and that you have leaders who focus on what does it take for the country to survive." 2. "I think when you have a vacuum in your soul and you try to fill it with drugs and alcohol and other things, it doesn't work." 3. "We are deeply opposed to illegal immigration, and we're very much for controlling the border. We believe the President should start by deporting criminals." 4. "She's the Chief Editor for our company, Ginger 360 and she brings all of that. This is our 10th movie together, and she really is the driving force for the movie." 5. "If you were a left wing cuckoo, you could get money. If you were a fireman, you couldn't. And I think we have to recognize how really bad the California system has become." 6. "I think we have to focus on how we're going to help people get back into their homes as quickly as possible and as inexpensively as possible, and that's going to require eliminating a whole range of rules and regulations."
