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.

In Part Five of his "How to Win 2026" series, Newt Gingrich lays out the Republican case on healthcare: what President Trump and congressional Republicans have already done to lower costs and expand choices, and what still needs to be built. American families are paying roughly the price of a new car every year just for job-based health insurance — and still facing narrow networks, sky-high deductibles, and bills nobody can explain. From TrumpRx's historic prescription drug price cuts to price transparency legislation, direct primary care, rural investment, and the Make America Healthy Again initiative, Newt makes the case for moving America from a sick-care system to a true healthcare system — one centered on the person, not the bureaucracy. The closing argument of the series: Republicans are helping Americans pay less today while building a healthier future for tomorrow.

In Part Four of his "How to Win 2026" series, Newt Gingrich makes the case for what he calls "the American Party" — not a new political organization, but a governing platform built on issues where seventy percent or more of Americans already agree, across party lines. Drawing on eight years of polling by his own America's New Majority Project alongside independent pollsters, Newt walks through dozens of issues — voter ID, congressional term limits, middle-class tax cuts, drug pricing transparency, border enforcement, parental rights in education, and more — where supermajorities of Americans agree with each other, even when their elected representatives in Washington don't. Newt is also candid about where his own organization's numbers don't match what other pollsters are finding — and why that transparency matters more than a perfect scorecard.
