Episode 516: Drug Prices in America – Worth the Cost?

Most people think they're investing. David Bahnsen thinks they're speculating — and there's a profound difference. The founder and chief investment officer of the Bahnsen Group, which manages over $10 billion in client assets, joins Newt to discuss his new book, Profit from the Profit: The Past, Present, and Future of Dividend Growth Investing. Bahnsen argues that dividend growth investing isn't merely a smart income strategy — it's the only coherent investment philosophy for people who want to own something real rather than gamble on price. He and Newt explore why the "grow now, dividends later" advice most young investors receive is historically flawed, what the dot-com bubble and the Cisco paradox reveal about today's AI boom, how the Hollywood consolidation mess perfectly illustrates CEO ego destroying shareholder value, and why Charlie Munger was right: the big money is in the waiting.

Twenty-five years after September 11th, is America ready for the next generation of threats? House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford joins Newt to discuss the bipartisan task force review of the original 9/11 commission report — what worked, what didn't, and what must be built for the dangers ahead. Crawford warns that the post-9/11 intelligence architecture, designed for counterterrorism, is now facing a threat environment that has expanded far beyond it: AI-guided drone swarms, gray zone warfare, cyberattacks on water treatment facilities, Chinese infiltration of agricultural research institutions, and adversaries who organize not around our bureaucracy but around our vulnerabilities. A former Army bomb disposal technician, Crawford brings a "left of boom" mindset to the conversation — and a stark warning: America cannot afford another failure of imagination.

An 83-year-old great-grandmother, legally blind and in failing health, has spent nearly a year in a South Korean detention cell — and Newt believes her case is part of something far larger. Dr. Hak Ja Han, co-founder of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification and known to millions worldwide as the Mother of Peace, faces charges that could send her to prison for 13 years. With a verdict days away, Dr. Demian Dunkley, president of Family Federation USA, joins Newt to speak on her behalf — tracing her remarkable journey from a six-year-old girl fleeing North Korea on foot to building a global peace movement spanning 170 countries. Newt and Dr. Dunkley also address what Newt calls a global war on God: the worldwide pattern of governments targeting religious liberty, from South Korea's courtroom to Nigeria's killing fields.
