Paul Westcott, radio host: "One of the things that did come up was -- and I mention this specially, he's on right after me, a guy named Glenn Beck. You had a pretty tough interview with him. You know, he was asking some pretty tough stuff. I think you handled it extraordinarily well. But, when you're talking about Glenn Beck now he actually, the other day, called you a progressive on FOX Business channel. What do you say to that sort of claim?"
Gingrich: "I don't know. It depends on what standard you're using, you know? The fact is I balanced the budget for four consecutive years. And we did so by cutting taxes and increasing employment so people went back to work, they left welfare, they left food stamps, they left unemployment, they left Medicaid. Who else has that record of achievement? I worked with Reagan in '79, '80. I worked with Reagan in defeating the Soviet Empire. I think those are relatively conservative credentials."
