Newt talks with Bob Crawford, Grammy-nominated bassist for The Avett Brothers, and author of, “America’s Founding Son: John Quincy Adams, from President to Political Maverick.” They discuss the life and legacy of John Quincy Adams, emphasizing his role as a statesman whose career spanned diplomacy, the presidency, and 17 years in Congress after leaving the White House. They highlight his upbringing in the extraordinary Adams family, including the intellectual influence of his mother Abigail Adams and his early witness to the Battle of Bunker Hill. They discuss his achievements as a leading diplomat and Secretary of State, his controversial one-term presidency marked by the “corrupt bargain” election of 1824 and fierce populist opposition from Andrew Jackson, and his later transformation into a congressional maverick who defied his party and the pro-slavery bloc. They also discuss his Supreme Court victory in the Amistad case, where he secured freedom for enslaved Africans by appealing to due process and the principles of the Declaration of Independence, a moment portrayed as his personal and public redemption. His lifelong habit of keeping a massive diary—about 14,000 pages from youth to age 80—now digitized and publicly accessible, is presented as an invaluable resource for understanding early American politics and his personal life.

Newt talks with Michael Faulkender, Co-Chair of American Prosperity at the America First Policy Institute, about the Supreme Court ruling that limits President Trump's ability to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, emphasizing that tariff authority primarily resides with Congress. This decision impacts the President's flexibility in using tariffs for economic and national security purposes, although other legislative provisions still allow for some presidential tariff authority. Additionally, their conversation explores the challenges of housing affordability, noting that the median age of first-time homebuyers has risen to 40 years old. Factors contributing to this include increased housing costs, higher interest rates, and regulatory burdens. The America First Policy Institute is working on solutions to address these issues, focusing on reducing regulatory costs and increasing housing supply.
