PBS to Air Doc About Newt Gingrich-Approved Immigrants


The cozying up to the incoming administration has begun.

Journey to America: With Newt and Callista Gingrich is written and directed by Kevin Knoblock and bills itself as a film that will celebrate “the achievements of nine individuals from diverse backgrounds who pursued the American dream and contributed to the fabric of our nation.” Gingrich, who failed to secure the Republican nomination for president in 2011 despite promising to build a fence along the southern border (much less cool-sounding than a wall) and withhold funding to sanctuary cities, makes it clear this is a documentary for people who like immigrationwhen their ancestors did it. Also making this list of approved immigrants is Xi Van Fleet, who emigrated from China in 1986 () and whose personal website prominently features her appearance on Tucker Carlson’s X show. There, she was plugging her book Mao’s America: A Survivor’s Warning in which “an inspiring survivor of Mao’s Cultural Revolution in China makes a passionate case that history is eerily repeating itself as the Woke Revolution spreads across America.” A lofty claim in a nation where Joe Rogan is a multimillionaire who gets to pick the president, but I digress.
