Speaker Newt Gingrich launches a bold five-part series on how Republicans can win a historic victory in November 2026. In this opening solo episode, Newt argues that the coming election is not a referendum on the present — it's an argument about the future. Drawing on his famous 2016 "two parallel universes" exchange with Megyn Kelly, he explains how winning campaigns identify what's moving beneath the surface of public polling and stick to it with discipline. He walks through four historic examples — his own 1978 comeback, the 1988 Bush campaign, the 1994 Contract with America, and the rise of MAGA — to extract the single lesson each shares: find the true, provable contrast and never let up. Then he lays out four building blocks he believes can define the Democratic Party as unacceptable to most Americans for a generation.

Lenny McAllister has been in rooms most people never occupy at the same time — CPAC and the NAACP, Americans for Prosperity and the ACLU, Tea Party events and the Essence Music Festival. That's exactly the point. The Pittsburgh commentator, CNN and Fox analyst, and one of the earliest prominent Black Republicans to emerge after 2008 joins Newt to discuss his new memoir and policy manifesto, A Venn Diagram of One: An American Story. McAllister traces his journey from college dropout and 24-year-old father to national media figure — a transformation sparked by the night he learned his father had been shot. He argues that the path back to a united America runs through three pillars every citizen deserves: security, empowerment, and opportunity. On America's 250th birthday, he believes the country's best second act is still ahead.

The Pentagon ranks biological warfare as a greater threat than nuclear war — and investigative journalist Annie Jacobsen spent years finding out why. The Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Nuclear War joins Newt Gingrich to discuss her new book, Biological War: A Scenario, which charts the terrifying hours and days following a lab leak at Russia's Vector Institute. Jacobsen reveals how a Soviet-era "super plague" engineered with a euphoria gene could spread across six continents in days, why 3,500 BSL-3 labs worldwide represent a ticking clock, and what COVID failed to teach us about preparedness. Most chillingly, she exposes the classified U.S. government "Devolution Plan" — a secret continuity program designed to preserve the government underground while society collapses above. Her reporting is a warning — and a call to action before the next lab leak makes the scenario real.
