some of which you have outlined. castro was held in, he was not on suicide watch. he was in a cell by himself. guards made rounds every 30 minutes. and his attorney says a request for a psychological evaluation was denied. now, was the system doing what was appropriate to prevent a suicide here? well, i would think that a judge, a court would put some type of psychological test with them. you saw in court during his sentencing, the judge believed that he was saying the psychologist believed he was saying, they almost were calling him evil. you would think tests would be made. you know, this guy again is a great actor. i think he fooled the people here in cleveland when he was here for three months. he was on what s called suicide precaution. never a suicide watch. they never thought he was going to hurt himself, but he was a high-profile inmate so they wanted to get him to court.
and, two he s very, very blunt. as we heard what he said about really poor kids in really poor neighborhoods and lots of other examples of newt being very blunt. what we ve seen over this primary process is that the folks who rise to the top have been the people who go right at the president, who are very forceful. and mitt romney hasn t been that person. so i think newt gingrich luckily for him after his campaign imploded he is now riding this wave maybe a little too soon but perfectly since the iowa caucuses are january 3rd. he could stay the flavor of the month. and nancy pelosi attacking him only serves him. absolutely. people are calling him evil. i mean, literally that was my father. they re getting as good as they ve gotten. to the degree that newt gingrich has become sort of a villain on both sides of the aisle i think is pretty marked. i don t think newt gingrich is evil per se.
historian for freddie mac. in 2007, interestingly, when we became the chairs, chris dodd and i an the democrats took over, that s the first time freddie mac and fannie mae were controlled. people believe, you re the democrats, there were errors in government, it must have been your fault, when, in fact, they were done under republican control. let me ask you about good and evil. do you believe in it? do you believe that sure. we re all a mixed bag or to you believe there are people like newt gingrich that personify one side of this manichean struggle in our life? i really dislike gingrich and disapprove of him. he s been a terrible influence. i wouldn t call him evil. i would i talk about evil hitler was evil, saddam hussein was evil. stollen and many of his successors. mugabi.
mac through all the years? from 1995 to 2006, the republicans controlled the congress. newt gingrich was first the speaker then the highly paid s historian for prfreddie mac. in 2007, interestingly, when we became the chairs, chris dodd and i an the democrats took over, that s the first time freddie mac and fannie mae were controlled. people believe, you re the democrats, there were errors in government, it must have been your fault, when, in fact, they were done under republican control. let me ask you about good and evil. do you believe in it? do you believe that sure. we re all a mixed bag or to you believe there are people like newt gingrich that personify one side of this manichean struggle in our life? i really dislike gingrich and disapprove of him. he s been a terrible influence. i wouldn t call him evil. i would i talk about evil hitler was evil, saddam hussein was evil.
life? i dislike gingrich. i wouldn t call him evil. i talk about evil, hitler was evil. suddam hussein was evil, mugabi. i would say people who do serious physical harm to their fellow human beings. beyond that, yeah, we are all a mixed of good and bad. there is usually a heavy preponderance of the bad quality. it s interesting, he and romney, if this is the republican nomination battle now, it does not speak well for being a man of principle. between the two of them, they have changed positions more often than a lot of people change shirts and they each accuse the other of doing that. the difference is this. gingrich throughout his career, particularly as he was here, added to that a willingness to sabotage other people. he got tip o neil furious
