Transcript: Gingrich, Sanford on ‘FNS’

Monday , April 06, 2009

CHRIS WALLACE, HOST: … Mr. Gingrich, before today’s launch, you said the North Koreans should not be allowed to fire a missile and that the U.S., quote, “should take whatever preemptive actions are necessary.” Are you saying that “President Gingrich” would have taken out that missile on the launch pad?

NEWT GINGRICH, FORMER SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE: Yes, I’m saying if you look at the new book by my co- author Bill Fortune called “One Second After,” and you look at electromagnetic pulse capabilities, which can take out — one weapon could take out a third of the electric generating capacity of the United States.
