Summary
Guest host Greg Jarrett sits down with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich to break down President Trump’s Oval Office address and what it signals for the economy, voters, and the 2026 elections. They discuss falling inflation, lower gas and mortgage costs, rising real wages, and why clear, fact-driven messaging matters as Americans continue to feel the aftereffects of the Biden economy. Gingrich outlines where Republicans must lead with solutions—healthcare affordability, energy, education, corruption, and crime—while contrasting that agenda with Democratic messaging. The conversation expands to America’s future, exploring whether innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship could usher in a new golden age, alongside a look at national security and the administration’s newly released strategy.
