    Episode 1007: Where Are Americans Moving — and Why?

    Every year, millions of Americans vote with their feet — packing up and crossing state lines in search of something better. But what exactly are they looking for? In this episode, Newt talks with Jack Salmon, research fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, to dig into his new policy brief analyzing 34 million interstate moves between 2018 and 2023. The results challenge some conventional wisdom: cost of living isn't the dominant driver, climate barely registers, and the red-state/blue-state narrative is more complicated than the headlines suggest. What actually predicts where Americans move? Tax burden, housing supply, and economic freedom — including the often-overlooked weight of occupational licensing and regulatory red tape. A data-driven conversation with real implications for every state legislator in America. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Episode 1006: America 250 – The Declaration of Independence

    On America's 250th birthday, Newt delivers a special solo episode dedicated to the document that started it all: the Declaration of Independence. Newt sets the scene in Philadelphia in the summer of 1776 — the heat, the secrecy, the weight of the moment — and traces the path from Lexington and Concord to the Continental Congress, explaining how 56 extraordinary men came to risk everything for an idea. He reflects on their courage, their backgrounds, and what they stood to lose if the revolution failed. Then, following Abraham Lincoln's tradition of slow, deliberate reading, Newt reads the Declaration aloud in full — every grievance, every principle, every word — before honoring each of the 56 signers by name. A fitting tribute for America's most important birthday. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Episode 1005: America 250 – The Story of the National Anthem with Shannon McLucas

    Newt talks with Fort McHenry National Park Ranger and historian Shannon McLucas about the remarkable story behind America's national anthem. McLucas recounts how Francis Scott Key, a Georgetown lawyer sent to negotiate a prisoner release, found himself aboard a British ship during the 25-hour bombardment of Fort McHenry in September 1814, unable to leave as he anxiously watched the battle unfold. His eyewitness emotional reaction became the poem "Defence of Fort M’Henry," set to a familiar tune and spreading virally across the young Republic within weeks. McLucas explains how the song endured for over a century before being officially designated the national anthem in 1931 under President Hoover. Their conversation also covers the hand-sewn garrison flag made by Baltimore seamstress Mary Pickersgill, what visitors can experience at Fort McHenry today, and how the fort celebrates the Fourth of July with a public reading of the Declaration of Independence.

    Episode 1004: America 250 – The Greatest Sentence Ever Written with Walter Isaacson

    Newt welcomes bestselling biographer Walter Isaacson to discuss his new book, The Greatest Sentence Ever Written, a deep dive into the Declaration of Independence's most celebrated passage: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Isaacson traces how Jefferson, Franklin, and Adams collaboratively crafted and edited this sentence — including Franklin's pivotal change from "sacred" to "self-evident" — and argues it serves as America's enduring mission statement. Their conversation explores how Lincoln later invoked the sentence at Gettysburg to advance the cause of abolition, how the suffragette movement used it to expand women's rights, and why the 250th anniversary is a vital opportunity to use this founding ideal to heal today's deep political divisions. Isaacson also previews his upcoming biography of Marie Curie. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Episode 1003: America 250 – The Future of NASA and Space Travel with Jared Isaacman

    Newt talks with NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman about America's renewed push into space. Isaacman, a former commercial astronaut who led the Inspiration4 and Polaris Dawn missions, discusses how the Artemis program is advancing toward returning astronauts to the moon, with Artemis III testing lunar landers from SpaceX and Blue Origin ahead of a 2028 lunar landing on Artemis IV. They explore NASA's strategy of partnering with private industry to drive down costs through reusable rockets while NASA focuses on harder problems like nuclear power and propulsion for deep space travel. Their conversation covers building a permanent moon base at the lunar south pole, growing competition with China in space, the challenges of orbital debris, and the emergence of a commercial space economy. Isaacman reflects on the patriotic significance of his role and shares his hope that future generations, including his own daughters, will travel to the moon and beyond.

    Episode 1002: America 250 – The Netflix Effect in America with Clete Willems

    Newt talks with Clete Willems, Chief Global Affairs Officer at Netflix, about the company's sweeping impact on the American economy and culture as the nation marks its 250th anniversary. Willems, a former Deputy Director of the National Economic Council, explains how Netflix has contributed over $225 billion to the U.S. economy over the past decade through 1,700 productions filmed in all 50 states, creating more than 140,000 jobs. He discusses Netflix's $1.2 billion investment in Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, a former Army base being transformed into a 12-stage East Coast production hub, and the company's "local for local" international content strategy. Their conversation also covers the "Netflix effect" on shows like Breaking Bad and Suits, the company's growing sports programming, and its special America 250 content hub featuring the documentary series The American Experiment and the historical drama Death by Lightning.

    Episode 1001: America 250 – Faith, Farm Life, and the Fight for America with Senator Tim Hutchinso

    Newt talks with former Senator Tim Hutchinson about his new memoir, From Spavinaw to D.C.: A Conservative's Journey Through Faith, Farm Life, and the Fight for America. Hutchinson reflects on his upbringing on an Arkansas farm, the faith mentors who shaped him, and how Ronald Reagan's 1964 "A Time for Choosing" speech sparked his political awakening as a teenager. He recounts becoming the first Republican popularly elected to the Senate from Arkansas in 1996, his role in the "Gingrich Revolution" and the Cracker Jacks freshman caucus, and the dramatic phone call that pushed him from a safe House seat into a Senate run. Their conversation covers the cultural differences between the House and Senate, formative trips to Israel and China, and his enduring friendships across the aisle, including with Senator Russ Feingold over golf. Hutchinson closes by sharing his Fourth of July plans with family. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
