Newt talks with Brent Dusing, Founder and CEO of TruPlay, a faith-based gaming and entertainment platform for children. They discuss the growing fears surrounding A.I. and the urgent need for values-driven technology. Dusing began his career at Menlo Ventures leading to his first startup, Cellfire. He describes his conversion to Christianity in the early 2000s and how it led him to create Lightside Games, a Christian gaming studio that reached over seven million players. He created TruPlay as a response to what he describes as a crisis facing American children and the time they spend on screens. TruPlay’s game design is protective: the platform has no chat rooms, no ads, and no micro-purchases, relying instead on a single subscription fee. He emphasizes that TruPlay’s mission is to safeguard children while providing enjoyable experiences that convey messages about God’s truth, aiming to create a space parents can trust. Dusing argues that current AI systems embed anti-Christian values and warns that as AI increasingly governs speech, social media access, and financial transactions, it could be used to classify Christian organizations as “dangerous” groups, restricting their funding and public presence.

Newt talks with Scott Rasmussen, President of RMG Research, about his new book, “Out of Touch: The Elite One Percent and the Battle for America’s Soul.” They discuss the “We the People” project that gathered 1.6 million words from over 2,000 voters across every congressional district to draft a modern Declaration of American Ideals. Rasmussen describes the country as a “10-10-80” nation: 10% on the left and 10% on the right locked in conflict, while 80% quietly embrace founding ideals and focus on everyday life. Rasmussen’s research on the “elite 1%” identifies a small, politically active group, disproportionately postgraduates, high-income earners, and dense-city residents, whose views diverge sharply from most voters, including strong trust in the federal government, support for sweeping climate policies, and belief that Americans have too much individual freedom. He contends this elite group rejects core ideals of freedom, equality, and self-governance, with about half believing only college graduates should be allowed to vote and traces its intellectual lineage to Woodrow Wilson’s vision of “government by the unelected” and the administrative state.

Newt talks with Senator Lamar Alexander, former Governor of Tennessee and U.S. Education Secretary, about his memoir, “The Education of a Senator: From JFK to Trump.” He traces his public life from a 1963 Justice Department job under Robert Kennedy, where he heard Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, through the rise of “digital democracy,” social media, globalization, the Great Recession, and the Obama and Trump eras, arguing that social media and economic disruption have transformed American politics since around 2008. Alexander contrasts gubernatorial and senatorial leadership, likening governors to Moses and Senate leaders to drum majors who must recruit, align, and manage diverse “marchers,” and notes that many governors find the Senate frustrating while some senators struggle as pragmatic executives. He credits Howard Baker with teaching him to be an “eloquent listener,” to “learn to count” votes, and to remember “the other fellow might be right.” Relationships, he argues, are the essence of the Senate: he cultivated them by visiting House counterparts, maintaining courtesy, and hosting about 60 Senate couples, both Republicans and Democrats alike, at his Tennessee home. Alexander reflects on his own presidential bids, which he compares to moving from eighth-grade basketball to the NBA finals. He warns that presidential politics are increasingly dominated by “media and money,” recalling a 1999 quip predicting a Trump-like figure emerging from this environment.
