Cameras are constantly rolling around America's top politicians earlier President Obama was reminded of this fact when discussing.
Are planned missile defense system in Europe Obama had this to say to the president of Russia.
A it's.
Like.
-- transmission transmit this to -- and now I understand.
Now it's good to know that they ought not only is the president -- -- is gonna win a second term he also apparently is plotting.
What policies is gonna flip flop on joining me now former speaker of the house presidential candidate Newt Gingrich.
That's seems very revealing to me on a lot of in a lot of areas your thoughts.
While raises two questions the first is.
What other countries as he had this conversation with them who else -- he said to the Iranians.
To the north Koreans.
To a variety of places you know give -- -- little time give me some space let me get reelected and now -- sellout.
The second is -- my interpretation of an American president.
Telling a Russian president about our missile defense.
Clearly indicates he's gonna sell out our defense system as soon as he is reelected which would fit his whole policy of weakness and appeasement.
But it's pretty sobering to realize how cynical.
And how calculated -- processes.
You know that I can think -- just three instances of the top of my head bitter people in Pennsylvania clinging to their guns and bibles -- religion.
Beat the Sarkozy said that -- our closest ally Benjamin Netanyahu is a liar is I got to deal with the sky every day every you know forget about you.
And then this one -- and just tell this tell -- -- not you know I -- got to get reelected and then we'll take care of that.
I I don't I don't like either one of these and does it reveals something about Obama we need to pay close attention to.
Sure I mean look he's a hard line left Winger.
Memory was also caught off the off the record does talking to small group in San Francisco.
About the fact that he was gonna make it impossible build another coal burning electric plant -- you go bankrupt if you tried.
So he was totally anti coal he was also frankly for higher electricity cost.
Remember this is an administration.
Which once very expensive energy.
Which turned to the saudis to pump more oil not to the Americans not to Louisiana -- North Dakota or Texas very -- America.
And I think not this is a surprise.
The question is does United States want to reelect a president.
With the worst economic references -- -- depression.
The highest deficits in American history.
And rising cost of gasoline a weak foreign policy and a willingness to destroy the American defense system and that's that's essentially what Obama is a -- Let me let me ask you this Rick Santorum we -- -- this earlier had a confrontation with with this reporter.
-- and frankly.
I would get a little tired liberal media myself -- -- might -- you might be a little sympathetic towards it.
But things are slowing down now and you have said that there's a possibility.
That Mitt Romney might not get the 11144.
Committed delegates.
To get the nomination outright by June.
How how likely is that scenario and what does it mean for you what does it mean for senator Santorum what does it mean for governor Romney and and those that want -- see all of Barack Obama defeated.
My -- I'm I'm -- here from Delaware.
Which is -- a lot more attention the next three weeks anybody expected because all of a sudden Delaware's delegates count.
You're gonna find that we are an unchartered waters for Republicans.
This is going to be a very long nominating process.
There is a very real chance governor Romney is not -- to get to 1144.
If he does get to 1144 he'll be the nominee and and I will support him because beating Barack Obama.
Really matters but if we end up after June 26 when you talk votes.
The last primary.
And he has to say at a thousand over a hundred votes short.
Job I think it's gonna be almost impossible for him to close the gap that'll open up.
The most interest in sixty days.
In recent political history -- would basically have a national electronic convention.
I could imagine a circumstance for example where they suspended.
The key is that the keynote address on the first night.
And actually -- a presidential debate in front of the delegates of the candidates you could imagine a whole process that's totally different than anything we've ever seen.
The question is governor Romney said six years -- campaigning put in forty million dollars as -- money has outspent the rest of us by.
Somewhere between three and seven to one and -- of the first ten million votes cast this year.
Six million were for somebody other than Romney only four million were for Romney is there a danger great incentive.
For -- Santorum army to back off.
Now as there though -- in the sense is there is in other words it is this in the end could be good is there a danger that.
That he wouldn't be enough time for the nominee to.
Have a full campaign raise the money necessary to fight back against the billion dollar.
Democratic machine.
How serious the opposite bill later we get a nominee the less time Obama has to smear the nominee.
-- that they're gonna raise the billion dollars but what if they don't -- to attack.
What do they don't know exactly what they're doing if you'll notice.
I've had Obama on defense now for three weeks over energy.
And they're not gaining any ground defending high priced oil.
So I think we want to keep Obama on defense all through the summer.
Having us activist candidates is actually better for keeping him on defense and I would just point out that.
Whoever we nominate.
On the night they give their acceptance speech would have the largest audience in American history.
And they would have sixty days to make a pretty simple case.
This is not a complicated case.
You really want to continue the worst economic record -- the Great Depression.
You really wanna go to 78910 dollar a gallon gasoline you really want weakness in foreign policy.
-- -- grandchildren be crushed in debt.
You really want to centralize all power in Washington you really like radical values and a war against the Catholic Church against every right to life group in the country.
Mean that's what Obama's.
Right so I've always said I wanna debating because I think it's a very clear picture what's at stake here.
The speaker thanks as always for.
-- with a similar to watch Delaware and -- in new York and Wisconsin -- watch animal thanks for being with us.
Thank you.
And coming up labor unions expose.
