Newt talks with Ken Timmerman, a former war correspondent and investigative reporter, about his experiences and insights into international terrorism, intelligence operations, and Middle Eastern geopolitics. Timmerman recounts his harrowing experience of being held hostage by Palestinians in Beirut, which led to a profound personal transformation. Timmerman also delves into his investigative work on Iran's nuclear program, highlighting the significant intelligence coup by Mossad in uncovering Iran's nuclear archive. He expresses concerns about Iran's nuclear capabilities and the potential threat they pose. Timmerman emphasizes the need for the U.S. to support the Iranian people in overthrowing the regime and the potential impact of eliminating the Iranian regime on Middle Eastern stability. His new book is, "The Iran House: Tales of Revolution, Persecution, War, and Intrigue.”

Episode 768: Israel, Iran and the Middle East Conflict

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.

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.

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.
