Newt welcomes bestselling biographer Walter Isaacson to discuss his new book, The Greatest Sentence Ever Written, a deep dive into the Declaration of Independence's most celebrated passage: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Isaacson traces how Jefferson, Franklin, and Adams collaboratively crafted and edited this sentence — including Franklin's pivotal change from "sacred" to "self-evident" — and argues it serves as America's enduring mission statement. Their conversation explores how Lincoln later invoked the sentence at Gettysburg to advance the cause of abolition, how the suffragette movement used it to expand women's rights, and why the 250th anniversary is a vital opportunity to use this founding ideal to heal today's deep political divisions. Isaacson also previews his upcoming biography of Marie Curie.

Newt talks with NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman about America's renewed push into space. Isaacman, a former commercial astronaut who led the Inspiration4 and Polaris Dawn missions, discusses how the Artemis program is advancing toward returning astronauts to the moon, with Artemis III testing lunar landers from SpaceX and Blue Origin ahead of a 2028 lunar landing on Artemis IV. They explore NASA's strategy of partnering with private industry to drive down costs through reusable rockets while NASA focuses on harder problems like nuclear power and propulsion for deep space travel. Their conversation covers building a permanent moon base at the lunar south pole, growing competition with China in space, the challenges of orbital debris, and the emergence of a commercial space economy. Isaacman reflects on the patriotic significance of his role and shares his hope that future generations, including his own daughters, will travel to the moon and beyond.
