Newt talks with John Hart, CEO of Open the Books. Open the Books is a non-profit that operates the largest private database of public spending, encompassing 10 billion data points, including federal salaries, state checkbooks, and municipal spending. Their mission is to make this information accessible to journalists, researchers, activists, public officials, and taxpayers in near real-time. They have partnered with Citizen Portal to integrate artificial intelligence, allowing taxpayers to compare political statements with actual spending. This collaboration aims to prevent fraud by using AI for pattern recognition and prediction, similar to how Galileo's telescope revolutionized astronomy. The initiative, called Aqueduct, seeks to enhance citizen engagement by providing clear insights into government spending. The collaboration is expected to have a significant impact on government transparency both in the U.S. and globally.

Newt talks with Liya Palagashvili, a senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University about the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the labor market. Their conversation highlights the transformative potential of AI in reorganizing work, potentially leading to a shift towards self-employment and independent entrepreneurship. Liya emphasizes that AI can empower workers by automating mundane tasks, allowing them to focus on more valuable activities, and suggests that AI might change how work is organized rather than simply replacing jobs. Their discussion also touches on the historical context of technological advancements, noting that while some jobs are lost, new markets and occupations emerge, leading to overall job growth. They conclude with a discussion on the role of education in preparing for an AI-driven future, considering different approaches to integrating AI into learning environments.

Newt talks with Peter Schweizer, about his #1 New York Times bestseller, "The Invisible Coup.” They discuss the concept of weaponized migration, where mass migration is used as a political tool against the United States, orchestrated by both domestic elites and foreign adversaries. Schweizer highlights historical instances like the Mariel boatlift of 1980 as a precursor to current strategies, where foreign governments, such as Cuba, used migration to infiltrate the U.S. with criminals and intelligence operatives. They also discuss the role of Mexico, with its extensive network of consulates in the U.S., which Schweizer claims are used to exert political influence and sovereignty within American borders. Schweizer also raises concerns about birthright citizenship and dual citizenship, particularly in the context of Chinese "birth tourism," where children born in the U.S. are raised abroad but retain American citizenship. He suggests that these practices pose a national security threat, as they create a generation of citizens whose loyalties may not align with the U.S. Their conversation concludes with Schweizer emphasizing the need for the U.S. to address these issues to protect its national security and cultural identity.
