Breakout – Boko Haram, Benghazi, Bergdahl, and the State Department
Listen now
Description
In this episode of the Breakout with Newt Gingrich podcast, Newt discusses how the State Department’s continued incompetence in handling the recent attacks against Christians in northern Nigeria, the attack on the American diplomatic mission in Benghazi, and the trade of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl for five senior level members of the Taliban has demonstrated how out of touch with reality the State Department is and the danger this poses to American’s around the world who are now at an increased risk of harm. The naiveté that continues to permeate through the State Department going back to the administration of George W. Bush has left it examining the world through the lens of the 20th century, instead of breaking out and attempting to examine and understand the world in 2014. For more on Breakout, tune in to this podcast each week, and read Newt’s new book, Breakout.
