    American Chemistry Council CEO Chris Jahn on Why Chemistry Is the Backbone of U.S. Manufacturing

    Send us a text The chemical industry sits at the very beginning of America’s manufacturing supply chain — powering everything from energy and advanced manufacturing to AI, national defense, and everyday consumer products. In this episode of 13th & Park, Adam Goodman sits down with Chris Jahn, President and CEO of the American Chemistry Council, to break down why chemistry is foundational to American competitiveness, energy independence, and economic security. Jahn explains how U.S. chemistry enables innovation across AI, semiconductors, transportation, defense systems, and clean energy — and why overregulation, permitting delays, and rail consolidation now pose serious risks to American manufacturing and national security. He also discusses workforce shortages, STEM education, global competition with China, and why regulatory reform is essential if the U.S. wants to continue making critical materials at home.

    Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt on Leadership, Federalism & the American Dream

    Send us a text Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt joins 13th & Park for a wide-ranging conversation on leadership, federalism, business-minded governance, and the future of the American Dream. From his roots in Norman, Oklahoma, to building a successful private-sector career, to becoming one of the most prominent governors in the country, Stitt explains how entrepreneurial thinking shaped his approach to governing. He discusses why states function best as laboratories of democracy, how incentives differ between government and the private sector, and why growth, affordability, and opportunity start at the state level—not in Washington. Stitt also addresses tribal sovereignty, tax reform, infrastructure, energy affordability, national debt, and what it means to lead with conviction rather than polling. As Chairman of the National Governors Association, he offers rare insight into bipartisan cooperation among governors and why state executives often find more common ground than federal leaders.

    Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin on Loyalty, Leadership & the Fight for America’s Future

    Send us a text U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin joins 13th & Park for a wide-ranging conversation on the forces shaping America’s future — from energy dominance and AI-driven power needs to tribal sovereignty, economic pressure on working families, and the personal story that forged his approach to public service. A Cherokee Nation citizen, rancher, and lifelong entrepreneur, Mullin discusses why Congress must recruit leaders with real-world experience, how permitting reform is holding back U.S. energy capacity, and why America’s ability to compete in the next era of data, defense, and AI depends on unleashing domestic production. He also reflects on the deeply personal moment when President Trump intervened to help his critically injured son, a story that illustrates a side of Trump rarely seen publicly — and one that shaped Mullin’s understanding of loyalty, leadership, and service. From housing costs, inflation perception, and the economic mood, to the future of energy, Native American sovereignty, and the senator’s own journey from overcoming childhood challenges to running a national-scale business, this episode offers a candid look at a leader shaped by adversity and grounded by family.

    What Voters Really Want: Echelon Insights’ Kristen Soltis Anderson Breaks Down What’s Coming in 2026

    Send us a text Kristen Soltis Anderson — pollster, author, and Founding Partner of Echelon Insights — joins 13th & Park for a deeply analytical conversation on voter behavior, the national mood, and the political forces shaping America ahead of the 2026 midterms. Drawing on years of public opinion research, Kristen breaks down why voter anxiety is rising, where trust in institutions has collapsed, and which issues matter most to voters across generations. She explains the widening gap between leaders and the electorate, how younger voters are consuming politics through an entirely different ecosystem, and why the cost-of-living crisis is redefining political identity in ways both parties are struggling to understand. Kristen also offers a clear look at emerging electoral signals: the rise of low-propensity voters, the polarization of information sources, the psychological roots of political fear, and how AI may transform campaigns, persuasion, and civic engagement. Through the lens of Echelon Insights’ research, she outlines the lessons both parties must learn — and the blind spots they can’t afford to ignore — as the country approaches another pivotal election cycle. A candid, data-driven exploration of where voters are today, where they’re headed, and what it means for America’s political future. Filmed at our Washington, D.C. studio.

    Send us a text Brian Ballard, founder and CEO of Ballard Partners, joins 13th & Park to kick off Season 4 with an inside look at how one of America’s most influential lobbying firms grew from its Florida roots into a national powerhouse.

He walks through how Ballard Partners built a reputation across administrations, expanded globally, and stayed grounded in principles like humility, honesty, and relationship-driven advocacy — all while representing clients in some of the most consequential industries in America today.
