    Episode 978: Trump and Xi in China

    Newt talks with Weifeng Zhong, of the America First Policy Institute, about President Trump’s visit to Beijing and his meetings with Xi Jinping. They describe Chinese diplomatic style as highly choreographed, such as the airport reception and elaborate youth choirs that are used to project confidence and set the stage for pressing core issues like Taiwan. Zhong argues that China’s slowing, export-dependent economy and severe demographic pressures from the one-child policy make closer economic ties with the U.S. necessary. Trump’s large delegation of top U.S. business leaders, especially from technology, semiconductor, and AI sectors, is seen as both a bid for market access and a reflection of where U.S.– China tensions are most acute. Their discussion turns to Chinese dishonesty in areas such as arms transfers to Iran, support for Russia in the Ukraine war, fentanyl exports, COVID transparency, and propaganda in state-controlled media, emphasizing the need to read beyond official narratives. On Taiwan, Zhong argues that Xi’s lack of major achievements and the loss of Hong Kong as a credible model make “reunification” with Taiwan central to the Chinese Communist Party’s search for legitimacy.

    Episode 977: Peter Carter on Delta and the Future of Air Travel

    Newt talks with Peter Carter, President of Delta Air Lines. Their conversation traces Carter’s transition from 23 years as a trial lawyer to airline leadership. Carter explains how trial practice honed his skills in narrative, simplification of complex issues, and problem-solving, which he now applies to business decision-making and risk navigation, helping Delta pursue opportunities. Carter contrasts law firm culture with corporate leadership, describing the shift from revenue generator to support function and emphasizing the need to add enterprise-wide value in a 100,000-person organization. He underscores the hidden complexity of airline operations—about 5,000 procedures must run correctly daily to deliver safe, clean, on-time flights with baggage and high-quality service—and characterizes Delta as an “endlessly complex” business highly sensitive to geopolitical dynamics. Carter highlights Delta’s safety culture and industry-wide collaboration with the FAA, noting that U.S. airlines do not compete on safety but instead fully report and analyze incidents to drive continuous improvement. Looking to the future, Delta aims to become a leading global airline, focusing on expanding its international route network, particularly in underserved markets like the Middle East, Africa, and India.

    Episode 976: Bret Baier on “The Case for America”

    Newt talks with Bret Baier, Chief Political Anchor of Fox News Channel and the anchor and executive editor of Special Report with Bret Baier, about his new book, “The Case for America: An Argument on Behalf of Our Nation.” Baier makes the case that the United States remains resilient and exceptional despite its flaws. He draws heavily on six presidents, George Washington, Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, and Ronald Reagan, to describe American resilience, leadership, and optimism. He argues that the Declaration of Independence was a courageous, high-risk act that defined the nation’s core truths: choosing unity despite dissent, serving as a beacon of freedom, demonstrating a unique capacity for resilience, and remaining a land of opportunity. Their discussion extends to the founders’ disagreements, the risk they faced in signing the Declaration, and the evolution of American political rivalry and reconciliation, exemplified by the bitter split and later warm correspondence between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Turning to contemporary politics, Baier contends that the upcoming America 250th celebration offers a chance to rebuild shared civic affection across ideological lines by acknowledging both the country’s problems and its strengths.

    Episode 975: John Tillman on “The Political Vise”

    Newt talks with John Tillman, CEO of the American Culture Project, about his new book, “The Political Vise: How the Radical Left Controls America and the Path to Regaining Our Liberty.” They discuss how the “radical left” wields power in America and how conservatives should respond. Tillman argues that the left outperforms the right in emotional storytelling, especially on economic issues like gas prices, and contend that conservatives must connect policy to everyday experiences to win public sentiment. Tillman introduces his “political vise” framework, describing politics as a pressurized system in which media pressure from the left, people pressure from the right, and elite influencers, especially government unions, trial lawyers, and nonprofits dependent on government funding, squeeze political decision-makers. Their conversation also examines why Republicans struggle to recruit and retain strong candidates. Tillman argues that people on the right are more drawn to business than politics, that some politicians adopt policy agendas mainly to advance their careers, and that the culture of Washington often pulls conservatives leftward through constituent and donor pressures.

    Episode 974: Sean Spicer on “Trump 2.0”

    Newt talks with Sean Spicer, the 30th White House Press Secretary, about his new book, “Trump 2.0: The Revolution That Will Permanently Transform America.” They discuss how President Trump’s second term in office could be among the most consequential in history. Spicer argues that Trump’s second term will be fundamentally different because of four years of planning by groups like the America First Policy Institute and Gingrich’s America’s New Majority Project, which studied lessons from the first term and built a detailed policy blueprint. He emphasizes that Trump now relies on long-standing loyalists who understand his agenda to serve in roles in the White House and cabinet, reducing internal resistance that hindered his first term in office. Looking ahead, Spicer defines the key theme of Trump 2.0 as “permanency” using legislation rather than executive orders to lock in policy changes that cannot be easily reversed by future administrations. Their conversation concludes with a discussion about Spicer’s extensive political memorabilia collection. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Episode 973: Carl DeMaio on the California Governor’s Race

    Newt talks with Carl DeMaio, California State Assemblymember, representing District 75, and Chairman of Reform California. They discuss the California governor’s race and the “top two” primary election system. DeMaio describes the risk that Republican candidates may face by potentially being shut out of the general election if no Republican candidates receive a 35% share of the primary vote. After candidate Eric Swalwell dropped out of the race, establishment Democrats are coalescing their support around Xavier Becerra, while billionaire Tom Steyer continues to spend millions of his own money on his campaign. DeMaio urges Republicans to vote for the Republican candidate that is polling the highest to secure a position in the runoff election. They also discuss the details of the California Voter ID Initiative; a proposed 2026 constitutional amendment DeMaio co-authored that would require voter identification and citizenship verification in all future California state elections.

    Episode 972: Congresswoman Elise Stefanik on “Poisoned Ivies”

    Newt talks with Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (NY-21st), Chairwoman of the House Republican Leadership, about her new book, “Poisoned Ivies: The Inside Account of the Academic and Moral Rot at America’s Elite Universities.” They discuss how America’s elite universities, once proud symbols of academic excellence, have become centers of far-left indoctrination and division. Stefanik traces her own political and professional trajectory, from volunteering for the New York Republican State Committee at age 14 and ultimately running as a 28-year-old underdog who has become a long-serving New York Republican in Congress. Drawing on her experience as a Harvard alumna, Stefanik argues that many elite universities have shifted from liberal leaning but pluralistic to ideologically lopsided, with a dramatic imbalance between Democratic and Republican faculty and a growing culture of political indoctrination over academic rigor. Stefanik’s participation in the hearing with university presidents was a historic turning point in the national debate over higher education. She concludes by expressing her hope, both as a policymaker and as a parent, that this earthquake in public awareness will help restore American universities to global excellence.

    Episode 971: The Hospital Cost Crisis

    Newt talks with Brian Blase, President of the Paragon Health Institute, about their new report, “The Hospital Cost Crisis: How Government Policies Drive Consolidation, Undermine Competition, and Fuel Soaring Prices.” Hospital prices have increased three times faster than inflation and more than twice as fast as worker wages since 2000, making rising hospital prices a major threat to middle-class families. Their discussion highlights that hospital care now totals about $1.6 trillion annually, roughly one-third of national health expenditures, and that large hospital systems deploy substantial lobbying resources, including over $115 million in federal lobbying in 2025 alone, to preserve favorable policies and block reforms. Blase explains how cost-based reimbursement in Medicare historically encouraged hospitals to increase costs, fueling administrative bloat and higher spending, a dynamic that still persists when higher hospital costs trigger higher government payments. He argues that Medicare’s centrally set prices and cost-based methodologies distort the entire healthcare market. Policies that pay more for the same service in a hospital than in a physician’s office further drive consolidation and higher prices. As potential solutions, their conversation emphasizes price transparency. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
