I'm paraphrasing, of course:

Mr. Gingrich, a former House speaker, on Tuesday morning threatened not participate in any future debates with audiences that have been instructed to be silent. That was the case on Monday, when Brian Williams of NBC News asked the audience of about 500 people who assembled for a debate in Tampa to hold their applause until the commercial breaks.

You should go watch the video, just because it's a weird experience to see Newt Gingrich when he's riding high. His smile is so unnatural; it's like his whole face is a rubber mask that's in danger of falling off.
