The past, present, and future of the United States are full of promise. A promise sustained by the efforts of brave individuals and organizations who champion the pursuit of technology, improving the human condition, free markets, and a belief in who we are. We are losing the fact that we are a nation of dreamers, a catapult for those who have the heart to dare, a place that rewards ingenuity and innovation. This country, more than any other, succeeded by making possible the release of the human spirit. We need to put in the work to bring the actual narrative of abundance forward. We need to make it consumable for everyday Americans. It is how our conversations will pivot towards the positive. Our mornings will begin with promise and faith rather than fear and despair. If you’re willing to help others feel better about tomorrow, join us. Weekly shows are coming very soon. Follow us to stay notified of new episodes.

Peace in the Middle East, War at Home

A historic peace deal abroad, chaos at home.

From Trump’s historic peace mission in the Middle East to the possibility of a lasting ceasefire in Gaza, this episode of New Frontiers dives into how Trump’s diplomacy reshaped global alliances and challenged decades of U.S. foreign policy. Paul Johnson and his panel explore the shifting Arab support for Israel, the media’s portrayal of Israel as the aggressor, and whether a true two-state solution is finally within reach — or just another short-term truce.

Back home, the discussion turns to America’s deepening divisions, the debate over deploying federal troops, and the controversy surrounding ICE and immigration enforcement. The panel also dissects Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s military speech, the Arizona gubernatorial race, and Kamala Harris’s post-election reflections — all while asking one central question: Can America find peace abroad if it can’t find peace at home?
