Newt talks with Dr. Nicholas Eberstadt, the Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy at the American Enterprise Institute. They discuss the phenomenon of workforce dropouts, particularly among prime-age men in the United States, who are neither working nor seeking employment, a trend that has persisted since the mid-1960s. Their conversation also touches on the societal shifts contributing to these trends, including changes in family dynamics and the rise of technology. Dr. Eberstadt emphasizes the importance of work as a means of self-fulfillment and societal contribution. Known for his extensive work on demographic trends and economic issues, Dr. Eberstadt discusses his latest book, "America's Human Arithmetic," which examines the American condition through a series of essays written over the past 30 years.

Newt talks with Scott Hodge, a tax and fiscal policy fellow at Arnold Ventures. They discuss the U.S. federal deficit and potential revenue sources. Hodge highlights the alarming trajectory of U.S. government spending, which exceeds tax revenues, leading to increasing debt and interest payments that could soon surpass combined defense and domestic program budgets. He proposes expanding the corporate tax base to include large nonprofit organizations that generate significant untaxed income, such as hospitals, credit unions, and universities, which collectively earn $2.8 trillion. This measure could generate approximately $51 billion annually without harming the economy.
