  • Issues with this I automatically thought of.

    First, that can be like 40 cents an hour. 30 something kids for the price of one Janitor. That sucks.

    Second, I know they probably won't care, but kids can be assholes, if anybody I knew became a janitor they would get harassed like crazy.

    I know it's light janitorial duty but it takes up their time, if it's in school they miss school, if it's out they lose time for themselves. It's important not to lose too much. Especially missing out on learning.

  • Shouldn't kids when not in school be...doing homework? Not to mention that janitorial work is very belittling for a child in a school...

  • he is my idle he has the 100% correct idea.

  • Ok let me tell you people something about food stamps and teaching people to get a job. its like this. You give a man a food stamp and he'll get food for 1 day. Teach a man to get a job therefore earning money he'll feed for the rest of his life...its the same as give a man a fish and he'll feed himself a day TEACH a man to fish and he'll feed himself for the rest of his life.

  • @TheMightyDahQ bullshit. now you have to pay for a fishing lisence, then you got to buy a pole, then you gotta get an open flame permit to cook it, then you gotta get a job, and now your'e getting audited by the IRS, and ur door is now being kicked down and ur favorite batman toothbrush is being stolen... all cause u wanted to eat a fucking fish~doug stanhope-----he says it

  • @houston56able You dont need a pole ...just a pice of wood stick will be fine and attach string to it and a hook find a worm you're good to go

  • Gingrich you fucking worm, I can see you doing janitorial work after the campaign, because your presidential bid is going down the drain.

  • Could it be because he was never poor that he never saw this. By thew way-he is still on his third wife by being an adulterer. Do me a favor-go down to Perris Island in the summer, Camp Pendlenton, Ft Jackson, SC, Ft Sill, OK, Ft Leavenworth Kansas, and other Navy/AF bootcamps and tell me that poor people do not have work ethics!

  • shouldnt kids learn in school instead of work? just my understanding of education...

  • @SytemEuro Isn't school supposed to get kids ready for the real world? Isn't 1/3 (or more) of your time in the real world spent at work (unless your lazy or still living at home with your parents)? So then, isn't working a bit in school teaching you the values of work and therefor getting you ready for the real world?

  • theyre all white.. thats why

  • "so here's my point!!" "I believe every american has the right to happiness- if that makes liberals unhappy than.. well too bad"

    rofl

  • I prefer Ron Paul, but elitists in both parties will never allow someone who actually follows the constitution to be President. Gingrich is the next best. I want him to debate Obama. He would take him to school. I will vote for the nominee in November no matter who it is.

  • @rsmith7042 Unless the nominee is Santorum right?

    I actually agree with Gingrich about child labor, but thats about all I agree with him on.

  • i guess Romney's Probably going to win now that he won michigan, but anything can happen... its ok, hes not so bad

  • Most people are poor because they are lazy, and dont want to take certain jobs. The government shouldnt waste money on those parasites

  • Man, did he destroy them!

  • Get money, get cash, get money, get a whole damn stash.

  • PAUL & GINGRICH 2012

  • Ron Paul 2012! Maybe he's not a puppet! Might as well stop voting for people who obviously are, as we have been for the last 40-some presidencies. Worth a shot?

  • HE NEEDS TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • The American spirit is that you can rise above your expectations if you believe and work hard. Unfortunately, Obama and other bureaucrats wish to stand in the way in order to control our options and make us beg for their omnipotent ok to our endeavors ( with a fee or license of course.) Stigmatize low paying jobs as beneath those who will not work as though getting a free check from others is above earning your own money. What an affront to our values an heritage.

  • All those candidates are jokers

  • money is a good thing at any time... even if you aren't poor

  • its all true look it up what percent of food stamps are givin to blacks

  • Gingrich 2012!! How much thumps down can I get? haha

  • american politics are sp depressing.... it's scary that he could be president

  • poor kids with no work ethic? WTF?! ugh... going back to the Vermin Supreme vids. i need to feel better.

  • Conservatives are so stupid....

  • mitt romney is just insulting people but not promoting his ownself

  • I'm suprised that this egomaniac hasn't dropped out yet. He must really believe his own bs.

    Ron Paul 2012!

  • @zieben64 Did I read your comment correctly? You want to lower the minimum wage. We have a problem with falling wages and a growing working poor. Remember the majority of peopel on food stamps work.

  • @zieben64 Your fucking nuts. How the fuck will lowering the minimum wage help people. We have one of the lowest min wages in the western world. Could you live in any state in America on $5 bucks an hour. Do the America a favour and kill yourself you brainless prick.

  • The reality for all you morons out there is, in most states you need to be working to collect food stamps. The sad truth is many Americans can't afford to live on the shit wages they receive from corporations that make billions. they are both black and white.

  • Typical race baiting negro...pathetic!

  • So... The best he could do in the end was turn to religion...

  • Romney

  • liberals u mad?

  • How about lowering the minimum wage law instead--something that will benefit a lot more poor young people. This janitor thing is not a practical solution practical.

  • Newt is a NWO shill. Glad people caught on.

  • Newt speaks the truth despite how uncomfortable it makes liberals

  • America is big fuck motherfucking joke. This troll got multiple standing ovations in a fucking DEBATE... and now he's dead!

  • What really kills me is that you idiots think it's a bad idea for kids to have the option to work at their school, or that food stamps are a better alternative for the poor than a paying job.

    And an extra solid fuck you to everyone trying to make this about race. Seriously. Get over yourselves.

  • What really kills me is not just Gingrich's statement.. That's expected. What really pissed me the f%&# off is THE AUDIENCE'S REACTION. This is what the white conservative (and many liberals as well) think of African-Americans in this country's.

    And my fellow black people call me a "sell out" for NOT using the N word AT WORK and talking about how to get food stamps.

    Gingrich's response is not as radical to many whites as people want to believe.

    It's scary... really scary...

  • CASH MONEY

  • How can all those people who applauded him say anything bad about China? i mean thats exactly what they do there, make children work because it's cheaper than paying an adult

  • ron paul makes all these guys look like people who don't want to audit the federal reserve bank and stop illegal taxes like the one on income from work to the fed. it's illegal, bu8t only ron seems too know this. why? because he's the one to test the public and see just how many of us are still sound asleep.

  • I tried listening to him in the beginning but hes cahnged positions so many times he is now just like most of the others, sya anything to anyone to get elected. Then screw em. So now all i hear from these idiots is crap crap crap "i want tohelp you" crap crap crap elect me, i have less crap then him or them...

  • He won't do it, he is insensitive to the poor and minorities. He's full of shit. He;s trying to belittle Barack Obama so republican will vote for him, he'll only do damage to his country. If repubs are smart, they'll pick Romney

  • Gingrigh....Romney ....Santorum.... hahahahahahaha

  • "I believe every american of every background has been endowed by their creator with the right to persue happiness, and if that makes liberals unhappy I'm going to continue to find ways to help poor people learn how to get a job" DDDDDDDUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

  • @kailani1971 Yeah, I give my kids money to do chores around the house, too. That's a lot different from child labor and humiliating kids in front of the rest of the school. Having said that, I actually agree with you that kids need to be taught by their parents to have a good work ethic.

  • @tgrigsby7 How so? These are low income kids whom we are giving reason to attend school. These kids are earning money, and an education. What's more "humiliating" to kids, sweeping floors or explaining to their friend that they can't go to prom/the movies/etc. because they have no money?

  • @PhillyHighlights America employs around 350,000 school janitors. Top school janitors make an average of 20$/hr. so you think we should take a job from a janitor that needs the money, and then pay 30 kids ~65 cents an hour? makes no sense to me. what if one of the kid janitors had a parent that used to be the janitor? This idea is great in principal, but is not practical, and would never fly. But I do think kids could definitely benefit from a job that provides trade/vocational training.

  • @22doodster87 We're not going to fire all janitors, this isn't an anti-janitorial rampage, it's replacing a COUPLE janitors because for the same price we can hire more kids whom we can teach work ethic instead of welfare.

  • @22doodster87 He quoted union janitors in New York city. If you research this, you will see that their salary cap is higher than teachers, and that some make over 150k a year.

  • hmmm, I didn't know that, that sounds like a union problem. There should be a private janitorial service to compete with the union. I am not against unions, but I hate the ones that monopolize and drive up the cost of their services.

  • Comment removed

  • .Yes. Money is good if you're poor

  • @LakebrothersVEVO When your thirsty you should drink water.

  • "Only the Elites despise earning money" ..... haha...hahaha.

  • @730ways And then Romney's just like "That just about sums it up."

  • like he would actually do that. soooo poor america

  • this has nothing to do with the video or politics ...but why does every candidate have gray hair?

  • @TheMightyDahQ its really fuckign stressfull being in politics

  • Newt's janitorial idea is ridiculous. Anyone agreeing with this asinine idea clearly lacks critical thinking. This is what happens when children do not get the proper education they need. Having children work custodial jobs when they spend their youth in education. Media ignoring obvious flaws and lies is maddening. You know why the the press is dead in America? Because they are paid to put on these contrived & phony debate no different than paid commercial airtime. Disingenuous & shameless

  • Newt Gingrich the embodiment of everything that is wrong with America. You have to admire his ability to capture the mood of the crowd though, regardless of how devastatingly ugly it is.

  • Newt Gingrich looks surprisingly similar to Cotton Hill from 'King of the Hill'.

  • Gingrich has good, solid ideas for this country. Romney has no back bone and Obama hasn't kept but one promise. Gingrich 2012.

  • @PhillyHighlights Before ANY politician is voted into power, they have 'good, solid ideas' for any country. That's the problem though. Don't people see this reoccuring theme in politics? Say whatever is necessary, get past the one-day-democracy (voting day).

  • Search "Gingrich" on Youtube and all you'll see are Newt from "ngingrich". It's obviously deliberate pro Newt spam. Okay fine whatever, but to disable comments on all the videos suggests Newt and his team are nothing but PUNKS. Last week, this motherfucker actually had the temerity to use Clinton's balanced budget to give himself credit. I couldn't fucking believe it. Unbelievable, these republicans today are so disengenuous its incredible. They're worse than a lying 2nd grade brat.

  • @de1ta3phase So Newt Gingrich has a lot of videos on Youtube and you called it "deliberate Pro Newt spam." Okay... cool. Why can't I watch a fucking video then without an Obama commercial? Is that not pro Obama spam?

  • @PhillyHighlights Re-read my post, I said it is fine. the problem I have is the commenting on ALL the videos are DISABLED. Punk.

  • cash money. cash money. cash money is a good thing if your poor. get some cash money, and get some more.

  • HOLY CRAP YOU PEOPLE ARE STUPID! HE NEVER ANSWERED ONE QUESTION! HE DANCES AROUND THEM LIKE THERE NOT THERE! not to mention WERE TRILLIONS IN DEBT AND HE WANTS TO WAITS MONEY ON SPACE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Come on people how stupid can you be. once were out of debt we can revisit space, but is it really something to focus on right now?

  • @hitsulover14 No, he answered the question.

  • Light Janitorial duties, Get money.

    Work in the cafeteria, Cash Money.

  • I will never understand why people are so anti-Gingrich. This is Probobly the first no bullshitting around president I've ever seen. I'm a big Ron Paul supporter but come on. This country is now known as the laziest, have the gov give you everything country. Gingrich is smart and THATS why he won SC. Learn your facts you dumb Americans.

  • @ballerbscott2 yeah.. and his idea of taking over the moon and creating a base there wasn't hilarious at all. people tend to laugh their asses off at people like that.

  • @ballerbscott2 Gingrich and smart do NOT go in the same sentence.

  • @ballerbscott2 THANK YOU SO MUCH.. evreyones such a jerk just cause he has revolutionary space progam ideas? well hes right. we should be 50+ years advanced in space exploration but were to busy puttin our noses in evreyone elses business and worrying about keeping big business open we cant do the things we actually want to.

  • So basically, we could use child labour! Yay! Child labour & racism together!

    Stupid crowd...

    And giving food stamps is good. Would you prefer people starve?

    He's "going to help poor people learn how to get a job, learn how to get a better job and learn how to own a job."

    A lot of them have jobs. If they could get a job, or a better job, they would.

    Shame on him, he makes me glad to not be American.

  • i just love how he moves his hands,cash money !

  • I love how the blacks make calim to food stamps. They take it so personal they think it is part of their culture. Foodstamps were NEVER EVER designed for blacks.

    It was designed for the poor and needy. I'm sorry, but yes, people other than blacks deserve food stamps. This is not THEIR PROGRAM and the fact that a black president has given out more food stamps than jobs doesn't mean only blacks are deserving. Jobs are what is needed, not food stamps, and for all peoople, not just blacks!

  • @RobertKlayton

    I'm going to assume you meant "claim".

    Just to start off, they don't make a claim to food stamps. They never, ever have.

    Obama's race has nothing to do with any of this. He has helped thousands of people, of all races. . Maybe you don't know this, but a lot of people are poor, but work. They can't afford food for their family. Food stamps save them from starving.

    Yes, that's true, jobs are needed. Where's Newt's plan? Because Obama's is working fairly decently.

  • The problem is his suggestion of only the poor. He essentially is promoting those that are poor to work medial positions, where as those who are born privileged he makes no attempt to suggest the importance of work ethic for them. So does this mean that a privileged student should not be required to also work the cafeteria counters and clean lavatories? This is my problem with Gingrich and his statements. Finally, the food stamp remarks are ignorant and debase the President's position

  • This is incredible. The people in the audience are probably brain-washed. They applaud to every word this damn idiot says.

  • What he's saying is actually the opposite of racist. He wants to give poor people jobs which are usually black which is due to racism but what this man is doing is a step towards equality.

  • soup lines are better than food stamps. soup lines foster networking., I'm half seious

  • @uturniaphobic that is actually a funny comment.

  • newt's a master of indignation, condescension, misdirection and arrogance. he's not stupid, just an a-hole. even with his ability to push the "red meat" buttons of his southern republican party members, he will not win florida. bet on it. with the large number of early ballots that have been cast in florida, he has already lost. the media never mentions this.

  • BAHHH MONEY!!!!!!

  • wat

  • Vermin Supreme hits you hard bro!!!

  • Bummer, I can only dislike this once. 

  • the thing with these videos its like taking a part of wht people r saying and taking it out of context if your going to fight if newt g. is good or not look ovr everything he's said. Overall he will bring down america if he becomes president. Thats just my opinion not yours

  • zombie state

  • Oy Gavelt.

  • im english. whats a food stamp?

  • @arcadeintime Google it

  • @arcadeintime free funds from the government given each month to citizens to buy food only.

  • @b29349 thanks

  • Cash, money, money,cash, money, money, cash!

  • I thought bush put the most people on food stamps. Fucker needs to look up those "facts" of his.

  • He really likes binging up those daughters of his to defend every single one of his points..

  • Newt 2012!

  • @eddiewlynch lol

    dumbass

  • @TheKarlack Newt 2012 :)

  • Newt we are not back in slavery time. Let your own children work and scrub t in toilet. But you probably don't know how many you have. People in south Carolina You all that agree with Newt are crazy as hell. We know better than you do how to get a job. At least we don't get out there and blow our "BRAINS" out when the stock markets go down and we do own stocks! We know how to survive. President Obama will be President Obama will be President again. " BELIEVE THAT"

  • Seriously? With that many dislikes? Preaching to the choir!

  • CASH MONEY!

  • Aww I thought we had gotten rid of child labor laws

  • America just got more retarded than it already is.

    I thought thats impossible... congratulations America for suprising me every year.

  • i got sent here from schmoyoho !

  • I guess those people should of just starved then right Newt. Yes after a recession I do believe people would need food stamps.

  • @ekuwa69 Well mabey they can get off their asses and make an effort to get a job!

  • RON PAUL 2012! Let's get rid of the media hand puppets like Gingrich!

  • Comment removed

  • NOBAMA

  • Food stamps have nothing to do with race. Stop pulling the race card.

  • @JHPalin It's the part where he says it specifically to Black Americans, saying they all are on food stamps and live off welfare, that's the racist part.

  • Republican racism at its more rage-filled and incoherent. Them uppity blacks are lazy, welfare recipients, and they need a good kick in the pants. Too bad morons keep voting for republicans, who then hand out billions in welfare "subsidies" to Exxon-Mobil. But that's not welfare, since it isn't a black person trying to eat.

  • @filmacher Very well said. Applauding you sir.

  • So in america, you get standing ovation if youre racist? okay..........

  • @GOOB3000 pretty much yeah

  • @GOOB3000 How the fuck is it racist at all?

  • @thatparkourdude yeahhh matee

  • @GOOB3000 that had nothing to do with race

  • @TheMightyDahQ turn your speakers on

  • @GOOB3000 how was that racist?

  • @TheMightyDahQ and then turn the volume up

  • @GOOB3000 ...Explain to me...What was racist about the speech? IF you cant explain it then your point is invalid!

  • @TheMightyDahQ why do I need to exaplin something that's so fucking clear. What can't you see there that isn't racist. If you don't think it's racist, then maybe you're racist too??? O_o

  • @GOOB3000 im not racist ...u think that when he called barack obama the food stamp president that was racist? ...poor kids lack a strong fork ethic? .... Blacks should try to find jobs and not food stamps? 

  • @TheMightyDahQ "Blacks should try to find jobs and not food stamps" that's exactly what he said that is racist. when he says 'blacks' he saying all blacks. Dumb as fuck. Just because Obama is black he thinks that's the reason. he's a dipshit

  • @GOOB3000 not all black he meant unemployed blacks and yes they should find jobs thats not racist thats a FACT!

  • @TheMightyDahQ Black, White, Asian, Mixed race. All races. No it isn't just blacks who are unemployed. the fuck is wrong with you?

  • @GOOB3000 But its just blacks because the asker only mentioned blacks

  • @TheMightyDahQ he quoted what ging had said previously

  • @GOOB3000 hes not racisist.. he believes evreyone should have equal oppertunitty.. if youd stop thinking so much about "race" and start thinking about our economy.. youd realize this man knows a thing or two,

  • @tehohnlychief No. Ging should stop thinking about race cos it's so god damn pathetic. Our economy? Im english lolol

  • why are they clapping that cunt?

  • Fuck you Gingrich.

  • What a bunch of tools.

  • newts got my vote

  • @bobsagitization

    Google frontline "the inner quest of newt gingrich"

    amazing newt stories, really show his character of the man.

  • Yes! Slave labor, what a brilliant idea!

  • @audiopro316 What kind on pansy - house did you grow up in where voluntary, payed, light janitorial duty was slave labor?

  • @McLizardman4 Its good to know your parents taught you proper english. Try to analyze something instead of taking it for face value... and watching TV wont help your cause.

  • @audiopro316 My parent's never taught me English, I went to school. I have no real reason to exercise proper english while typing a quick internet response. And what cause will watching TV not help me with?

  • @McLizardman4 Ah, that explains it. Schools are worthless, they never provide enough attention to kids because the teachers usually don't care, especially if they don't like you for being a child...didn't they ever teach you not to start sentences with 'and'? It has nothing to do with typing a quick message, its about pride in communicating properly and not destroying the language...you learn this in elite schools. TV?! Haha, you're kidding me right?

  • @audiopro316 Let's trace this conversation back a bit. First, I essentially asked you why Gingrich's idea was slave labor. Then, you pointed out my grammatical errors. I replied back, and then you talked about taking pride in communication. So to get back to the point, why is having 14 - 18 year old high school students work for the school to get some cash on the side slave labor?

  • @McLizardman4 Apologies for getting off tangent. The concept is similar to outsourcing labor to children in asia, is that right? Yes, its domestic, but the concept lowers wages, standard of living and education standards. Newt has a point that NEEDS to be developed. Im all for a better work ethic, I think america in general has become lazy and they wonder why the economy is in the can. Its like they would rather have the govt take care of them which is extremely dangerous. TV is a major problem.

  • Wow Gingrich is a douche, the disadvantaged need those jobs.

  • Ron Paul

  • He only won S Carolina because of all of the RACIST things he has said. I hope this fat, cheating, immoral, degenerate rosacea having pig gets the nomination since he has no chance in hell of beating Obama.

    OBAMA 2012!!!!

  • @ShamelessNation haha! Your hero zero has done nothing. Spelling out the truth has never been a favorite of the liberal left. You can sleep tight knowing your telepromter muslim will get to go back to janitorial service in 2012.

  • @ShamelessNation what was just said was not racist in any way shape or form. Liberals see poor inner city kids as a charity case and try to help them through their big govt social welfare programs, foodstamps etc.. Obama handouts destroy the incentive to have a good work ethic and creates a dependency on the govt. Gingrich is saying that it would be a much greater help to them (whether they see it or not) to give them the OPPORTUNITY to succeed through their own hard work

  • @rb208 Your arguement would make sense if inner fcity kids wre the only ones on food stamps. Most people on food stamps are not inner city kids. And if this idiot thinks that poor people don't know anything about hard work, then he really does not deserve this job for which he is applying. He's a joke.

  • @ShamelessNation Of course poor people know hard work, many work more than one job to get by. Wouldn't it be better though for a unemployed person to learn a skill through a govt program, like a mechanic, and get a decent job than by living on unemployment checks while looking for the same low level entry jobs?

  • I GUESS YOUR GOING TO SOLVE ALL THE PROBLEMS BY TAKING A JOB FROM A JANITOR. I AM ALL FOR KIDS HAVE PART TIME JOBS. BUT I THOUGHT THIS COMMENT SOUND KINDA STUPID. CANNOT VOTE FOR ANY ONE THAT SUPPORTS NDAA . SO I GUESS THAT WOULD LEAVE RON PAUL. NEWT YOU SOUND DISCONNECTED TO THE PROBLEMS FACING US CITIZENS AND SOUND LIKE YOU WOULD LIKE TO BLAME THE PEOPLE FOR THE PROBLEMS CREATE BY GOVERNMENT DECISIONS. I HAVE A DECREE WORKED WHILE GOING TO SCHOOL AND NO FURTHER AHEAD THAN IF I HAD NOT GONE

  • @thereservedstudios Actually, I think he just sounds like an angry, old man.
