Newt's World

In April 2020, an urgent call was placed from a Special Forces operator serving overseas. The message: Get Nezam out of Afghanistan now! Nezam was part of the Afghan National Army’s first group of American-trained commandos. He served alongside the U.S. Special Forces for over a decade. The message reached Nezam’s former commanding officer, retired Lt. Col. Scott Mann, and he sent out an SOS to a group of Afghan vets (Navy SEALs, Green Berets, CIA officers, USAID advisors). They all answered the call for one last mission, to save a former comrade—and 500 other Afghans—being targeted by the Taliban in the chaos of America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. Newt’s guest is Lt. Col. Scott Mann. His new book, “Operation Pineapple Express: The Incredible Story of a Group of Americans Who Undertook One Last Mission and Honored a Promise in Afghanistan” is out now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s been 17 days since the FBI raided former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate and there are still so many unanswered questions.

The chief weapon deployed by the power establishment of Government, Big Media, Big Tech, and Wall Street against the Trump campaign and presidency was propaganda. Time and again, allegations from anonymous sources were disseminated by a partisan media, promoted by a dishonest Democrat Party leadership, and ultimately debunked when the facts surfaced. But by the time the truth came out, it was too late. There had already been casualties. One of the highest profile casualties was Paul Manafort, who was convicted and served time in federal prison. Newt’s guest is Paul Manafort. His new book, “Political Prisoner: Persecuted, Prosecuted, but Not Silenced” is out now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Newt’s guest is Mark Morgan, Visiting Fellow in the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation.

On Monday, August 8th, FBI Agents entered former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida and seized what they determined were classified documents. The raid was unprecedented. In the 114 year history of the FBI, they have never gone after a former President of the United States. Was the raid politically motivated? What documents did President Trump have in his possession the FBI could have requested he give back? Why did they feel the need to get a search warrant? Why did they take his passports? What actions will Congress take? Newt’s guest is Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick. He represents Pennsylvania’s 1st Congressional District. Prior to working in Congress, he spent 14 years serving our country as both an FBI Special Agent and Federal Prosecutor. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2019 was the last great year for the world economy. For generations, everything has been getting faster, better, and cheaper. America made that happen, but now America has lost interest in keeping it going. Globe-spanning supply chains are only possible with the protection of the U.S. Navy. The American dollar underpins internationalized energy and financial markets. American security policy forced warring nations to lay down their arms. Billions of people have been fed and educated as the American-led trade system spread across the globe. All of this was artificial. All this was temporary. All this is ending.
