National Public Radio had on Newt Gingrich this week and things did not go well for NPR.

They obviously brought Newt on to bash Trump and Republicans but things didn’t go as planned.

Gingrich pushed back on the liberal narrative in real time, causing the host to stop and repeat certain questions.

News Busters has a partial transcript:

NPR Interview with Newt Goes Down Hilarious Path of Liberal Disbelief on 2020 Rigging

NPR interviewed Newt Gingrich for Friday’s All Things Considered, ostensibly to underline how successful President Biden has been. Their headline at NPR.org was “Newt Gingrich thinks the GOP needs to stop underestimating Biden.” Anchor Mary Louise Kelly couldn’t help but steer the car into the woods when Newt said the 2020 election was “rigged,” as in Twitter censorship and Zuckerbucks.

KELLY: But that has been what he has wanted to talk about – I mean, his repeated false claims about a stolen election, which I have to note you supported and talked about and spread. That did seem to fall flat with midterm voters. Is – how big a problem is that for Republicans?

GINGRICH: Look. I’ll be cheerful about coming back some time, and we can devote an entire interview to whether it was a rigged election – not necessarily stolen but certainly rigged. And we can start with all the Twitter information, and we can start with Zuckerberg’s $415 million.

KELLY: I just need to pause you there because it’s not me saying this. This is dozens of courts across the U.S. that have rejected claims of rigged elections.

GINGRICH: No, no. They rejected claims of stolen elections. Nobody ever looked at rigging.

KELLY: For the record, do you believe Joe Biden was legitimately elected president?

GINGRICH: For the record, I believe that he won under the terms that were set up, and I think that the entire elite system cheated in every way they could to defeat Donald Trump.

Listen below:

Notice how the host keeps pressing Gingrich to say Biden’s election was legitimate.

Do you recall anyone in media doing that to Democrats after Trump won in 2016?

The global lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic ruined the lives of millions of people, especially the most vulnerable. Now the globalists responsible admit they issued their decrees solely on the basis of politics.

The World Health Summit held a three-day conference in October with the World Heath Organization (WHO). Approximately 300 speakers and 3,000 participants attended to discuss the world’s COVID-19 response and how to approach future pandemics.

Reporter Alexandra Lavoie from Rebel News went to the conference undercover and released footage on Thursday. She spoke with Razak Gyesi Issahaku, a member of the German-West Africa Center for Pandemic Prevention (G-WAC) and pressed him on the globalist elite’s decisions related to the pandemic.  Here are some of his answers:

“In the heat of the pandemic, most of the decisions were not based on science like I said. They were just reactionary. Anything that would help,” said Issahaku.

“Now, with the benefit of hindsight, we can tell that some of those decisions is not backed by science.”

Issahaku then admitted the vaccines do not stop COVID from spreading.  Last year, Pfizer claimed their vaccine reduced the spread of the virus by 90%.

“The vaccines do not stop the spread of the disease. But now we know,” he said. “At first, nobody knew so it was political, yes, but we think it helped in flattening the curve as well.”

Issahaku went on to admit no scientific basis existed for travel bans and used Africa as an example. He then suggested this would not happen again because “people were much more prepared.”

“When you came to Africa, movement between two villages was not possible during the heat of the pandemic,” he said.

“So a decision had to be made. Although we don’t know the scientific basis for those decisions, people had to comply and we think it worked.

“But now with the benefit of hindsight, a lot of the things that happened with COVID wouldn’t have happened from what we know now. People were much more prepared than they were before.”

Lavoie then sought full and incontrovertible clarification. “We know that the lockdown was bad for business, and bad for children. Now that we know so much information, should we do the same for the next pandemic?”

“No that’s what I’m saying. A lot of the decisions were not backed by science,” said Issahaku.

Scientists across the political spectrum sounded the alarm on the harm of lockdowns from the beginning of the pandemic. Media and political elites, however, derided them as conspiracy theorists and reckless.

The few politicians who actually followed the science, like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, saved their economies from ruin and countless lives in the process.  Amazing what happens when governments prioritize protecting the vulnerable and allow healthy adults to make a living.

We should never again trust the politicians who locked us down and falsely claimed scientific basis for doing so.  Only eternal vigilance will keep them from repeating their authoritarian actions.
