Demian Dunkley Interviews Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich
In the middle of the global buzz at World Summit 2025, I had the unique opportunity to speak one-on-one with someone whose name carries serious weight in the world of politics—Former U.S. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.
🗣️ “Japan Is Drifting Toward Crisis…”
I asked Speaker Gingrich about the situation in Japan, where faith communities—especially our brothers and sisters—are facing increasing restrictions and discrimination. His response was honest and direct:
“Japan is drifting towards a great crisis. If the government can destroy one religion, that principle could be applied to any religion—Shintoism, Buddhism, even Seventh Day Adventists. It’s extraordinarily dangerous and moves Japan toward a Chinese-style totalitarian system.”
Let that sink in.
This wasn’t political commentary—it was a warning about a fundamental human right being threatened: the freedom to believe, to worship, and to connect with God.
🙏🏽 “The Right to Approach God Is the First and Most Basic Right.”
I followed up by asking what people around the world—especially those in our movement—can actually do.
His answer?
“Faith and courage matter. Every country’s people should remind their leaders that anti-religious bigotry cannot become normalized in free societies.”
He called it what it is—a violation of the core principle of liberty. This interview didn’t just inform—it challenged me personally to speak louder, act bolder, and stand stronger for those whose voices are being silenced.
🌍 From Global Stages to Grassroots Movements
With over 120,000 signatures already gathered in the U.S. and more support growing globally, I left that conversation knowing one thing:
We are not powerless.
When our faith is under fire, our response must be unified.
When silence is the norm, our voices must rise.
When silence is the norm, our voices must rise.
This interview with Newt Gingrich wasn’t about headlines—it was about holding the line between freedom and fear.
We must remember:
Peace begins with truth.
Freedom begins with faith.
And action begins with all of us.
Let’s go.
Peace begins with truth.
Freedom begins with faith.
And action begins with all of us.
