At no fault of our nation’s remarkable teachers, we’re failing our kids – particularly those who are disadvantaged. What, if anything, should we do to reverse these trends?

2020-10-2155 minThe NEW LookNEW Look at Trauma-Informed CareNationwide, millions of children, adults, and veterans have endured a traumatic experience which, left untreated, can have lasting health consequences. In the face of increased social isolation and this pandemic, Americans’ exposure to trauma is on the rise. While conversations surrounding the Coronavirus rightly focus on our physical health, we can’t neglect the toll it has taken on our mental health as well. But in what ways can we better prioritize our mental health and support those in our communities dealing with trauma?
On this special episode, Rep. Gallagher examines the concept of trauma-informed care, a tran...
2020-10-161h 12The NEW LookNEW Look at American Security with Lt. General H.R. McMaster, U.S. Army (Ret.)The untold story of the past four years may be the level of consensus surrounding the Trump Administration’s 2017 National Security Strategy, which argues great power competition with China, and to a lesser extent Russia, is our nation’s central challenge. In the face of this competition, Democrats and Republicans alike have worked together on a whole host of issues to address this threat, whether it be securing America’s 5G network or condemning the egregious human rights violations in Hong Kong or Xinjiang. The question is: will this agreement continue into the future, or fall prey to partisanship in a f...
2020-10-141h 04The NEW LookNEW Look at Innovation in the Heartland with Dr. Michael McQuadeThe Coronavirus has been, in many ways, a clarifying moment. One thing that has been made abundantly clear is we are over-reliant on foreign adversaries for critical medicines and technologies. This needs to change. Onshoring these important industries is both an economic and national security, but in order to accomplish this task, the United States will have to grapple with how to accelerate innovation and investment and how to build a 21st century workforce to maintain our competitiveness.
On this episode, Rep. Gallagher is joined by Dr. Michael McQuade, a member of the Defense Innovation Board and...
2020-10-061h 07The NEW LookNEW Look at Millennials and Polling with Kristen Soltis AndersonFor years, public opinion polling has helped government and corporate leaders alike gauge how Americans view politics, policies, and products. While the industry has endured a whole host of changes through the years, the 2016 presidential election served as a jarring moment for pollsters across the country. By now, we know that certain polls – particularly at the state level – were off. But why? And what, if any, actions have pollsters taken to try and correct these mistakes moving forward?
To explore these questions, Rep. Gallagher is joined by Kristen Soltis Anderson, co-founder of the opinion research and analytics firm...
2020-09-291h 03The NEW LookNEW Look at the Supreme Court with Ilya ShapiroThe passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has brought the issue of the Supreme Court to the forefront of American politics. And if the past few days are any indicator, it has also set up an intensely partisan confirmation battle in the U.S. Senate. Drama surrounding presidential nominations to the Court is nothing new -- it dates back to George Washington. But the increasingly bitter politics surrounding the Supreme Court -- from disparaging nominees to pursuing policies like court packing to delegitimize the Court -- is part of a larger, divisive trend. This leaves one wondering: how did...
2020-09-221h 04The NEW LookA NEW Look at Venezuela with Ryan BergGeographically speaking, the United States is in an enviable position. We have strong relationships with the neighbors to our North and South, oceans to the East and West, and a region that's largely democratic. While this allows most of the foreign policy discussion to concentrate on regions further afield, such as the Middle East and Asia, we cannot afford to overlook problems in the Western Hemisphere, particularly those emanating from Venezuela's political crisis.
On this episode of the podcast, Rep. Gallagher is joined by Ryan Berg, a Research Fellow at AEI whose focus is on transnational organized...

Gallagher, brought together members of Congress, representatives from the federal government, and professionals in the private sector to provide strategic guidance on how to best defend ourselves against cyber threats. For nearly a year, the CSC’s 14 Commissioners met almost every week to discuss issues ranging from election interference to intellectual property theft, and this year published more than 75 recommendations on how to address these threats.

2020-09-0959 minThe NEW LookNEW Look at Defense Issues with Dr. Andy KrepinevichThe 2017 National Security Strategy (NSS) and the 2018 National Defense Strategy (NDS) both argue that the United States’ central challenge is the reemergence of great power competition. In the military domain, this competition boils down to the United States’ ability to deter China from attacking the United States and our allies or established partners, which will require a major shift American defense planning and execution. But is the U.S. prepared to make the necessary changes required to meet this challenge, and if not, what questions should defense officials be asking to get there?
To explore these questions, Rep...

As our world becomes increasingly connected, it’s incumbent upon us all to understand the threats we face and how we can better protect our nation, ourselves and our interests online.
On this NEW Look podcast, Rep. Gallagher breaks down the country’s challenges in cyberspace with Dmitri Alperovitch, Executive Chairman of the non-profit Silverado Policy Accelerator.

2020-08-281h 02The NEW LookNEW Look at the Postal Service with Kevin KosarConfusion, chaos, and in some cases outright conspiracy has surrounded the Postal Service this past week, fueled by stories in the media that USPS, allegedly under the President’s direction, was having mailboxes removed and mail sorting machines dismantled as a way to prevent mail-in voting. This is a dangerous lie that has the potential to undermine the country’s faith not just in the post office, but in the upcoming election.

2020-08-181h 20The NEW LookNEW Look at Cybersecurity with Sen. Angus King (I-ME)Cyberspace is a decisive battlefield that puts every American – wittingly or not – on the frontline of a new kind of conflict. Yet while the threats in this domain are severe, the United States has for years lacked a plan to combat these challenges. To address this problem, the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act authorized the creation of the Cyberspace Solarium Commission, a bipartisan commission tasked with providing strategic guidance and policy recommendations on how to defend ourselves against cyber threats that is chaired by Rep. Gallagher and Senator Angus King (I-ME).
On this NEW Look podcast, Rep. Gallagher is j...
2020-08-111h 22The NEW LookNEW Look at U.S.-China Policy with Josh RoginIn many ways, the Coronavirus has been a clarifying moment for U.S. policymakers. It exposed vulnerabilities in our pharmaceutical supply chain and accelerated calls to onshore this and other critical industries. It highlighted the need to make larger investments in American technological dominance and the technologies of the future. And most notably, it demonstrated the maleficence of the CCP to the rest of the world and brought the issue of U.S.-China relations to the forefront of American politics. While this issue is new to the spotlight, the threats posed by the CCP are not.

2020-08-041h 10The NEW LookA NEW Look at Hollywood with Chris FentonAs Rep. Gallagher discussed with Newsweek last week, movies from Red Dawn to Top Gun 2 have altered portions of their films to accommodate the CCP. While some of these changes may seem minor, it’s a part of a larger trend where American companies – from the NBA to Twitter– allow the CCP to have an ever-growing influence on the bounds of acceptable public discourse and American popular culture. This doesn’t mean Hollywood producers are purposely promoting CCP propaganda in their work. Rather, it’s part of a larger debate between companies bottom lines and the values they hold.

The problem, he concluded, “...is not the people. The problem is a defective process and a power structure that...funnels all power to leadership and stifles debate and initiative within the ranks.” In the piece, he put forward three solutions based on his own observations to help make the institution better serve the American people. Two years later, he decided to explore the topic of improving Congress by gathering suggestions from members who recently announced they would retire from Congress.

2020-07-0850 minThe NEW LookNEW Look at the NEW Look with Richard Immerman (Author, Historian)By now, you know the NEW Look podcast is a series of conversations examined through the lens of Northeast Wisconsin, the area of the state Rep. Gallagher represents that is often referred to as "NEW." But there's more to the name than that. The name is also an ode to President Eisenhower's national security strategy, the "New Look," which balanced Cold War military commitments along with US financial concerns. As a self-proclaimed Eisenhower Nerd, it's only fitting that he named his podcast after one of President Eisenhower's lasting achievements. But today, he takes things to a whole nother level...
2020-06-301h 28The NEW LookNEW Look at Social Media with Josh Geltzer ( Executive Director of the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection)Earlier this year, Rep. Gallagher and Senator Ben Sasse wrote a letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey asking him to explain why Twitter allows CCP officials to spread disinformation on its platform while the country simultaneously bans its own citizens from using it. While Jack Dorsey never answered that question, it's just the latest example of how adversaries are taking advantage of social media and how behind the curve we are in addressing the problems that arise on these platforms. But given the important role social media plays in the way we communicate with each other and get news...
2020-06-231h 26The NEW LookNEW Look at "Resistance" with Steven Pressfield (Author, Historian)We've all experienced times where internal challenges may discourage or prevent us from achieving our goals. Whether the goal is as simple as going to the gym or as complicated as having the discipline to write for hours, temptation to veer from the ideal path is all around us. In many ways, the Coronavirus has only added to the internal challenges we face. While we all face these problems, perhaps there are ways we can learn to adapt to these challenges and tap into something bigger than ourselves?
To explore this question, Rep. Gallagher is joined on...
2020-06-1957 minThe NEW LookNEW Look at China with Bill Bishop (Publisher, Sinocism)Over the past three decades, the U.S. made a bet that integrating China into the global economy and international institutions would moderate its behavior. But as we've discovered, the opposite happened. Today, the Chinese Communist Party has grown more aggressive at home and abroad, and as a result, we find ourselves at a key phase of a generational struggle that will define our politics for years to come. What led to the current state of affairs between the U.S. and China, and why did it take the U.S. so long to recognize its policy towards the...
2020-06-161h 07The NEW LookNEW Look at Water with Seth SiegelAnyone who’s been to Northeast Wisconsin knows water is central to our way of life. But while water is one of our most important resources, it is under threat from chemicals and contaminants. Improving our nation's water quality should be a priority at all levels of government, but isn't. What kind of policies can help to assure us of healthy drinking water? And, what lessons can we learn from one country – Israel – that has the world’s most sophisticated approach to its nation’s water?
To answer these questions, Rep. Gallagher is joined by Seth Siegel, an entrepr...
2020-06-121h 01The NEW LookNEW Look at Great Power Competition with Matt Kroenig (Professor, Georgetown University)In recent years, the Trump Administration has rightly identified long-term strategic competition with China as the primary threat to our country's security. And while the return of great power competition can mean many things -- from assuring economic reciprocity to avoiding nuclear war -- it's clear that the challenges posed from this competition will define U.S. foreign policy for generations to come. But how can the United States more strategically position itself for this challenge, and how will this competition with China, or New Cold War as Rep. Gallagher argued in the Wall Street Journal this week, differ...
2020-06-0954 minThe NEW LookNEW Look at the U.S. Navy with Jerry Hendrix (Retired Navy Captain, Naval Scholar)In April, Northeast Wisconsin got a dose of good news when Marinette Marine was awarded a more than $5 billion contract to build the Navy's new frigate. The ship -- designed to be a smaller, adaptable surface combatant -- represents the future of the Navy, and will be key to protecting U.S. interests in the Indo-Pacific region. But how exactly will this ship be used in the Navy, and what makes the frigate’s design so special? And more broadly speaking, what will the future fleet look like, and what role will Northeast Wisconsin play in that equation?

2020-06-0259 minThe NEW LookNEW Look at Defense Innovation with Mike Brown (Director, Defense Innovation Unit)American leadership in science and technology is at risk. As our own investment in research and development has dwindled, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has not only substantially increased their investment in the technologies of the future, but stolen American intellectual property in a way that has quickly closed what was once a formidable gap in scientific capabilities. As we’ve come to realize with our medical supply chains, a world in which we rely on the CCP for critical technologies – whether it be 5G or Artificial Intelligence – is a direct threat to our national security. But what is the go...

While Congress will need to pass bills that require pharmaceutical supply chains to be moved out of China,and sanction companies like Huawei that threaten the future of the internet, we will have to do much more to address the challenges this competition poses. But what are the long-term actions Congress should take, and who will play an important role in passing them? How have U.S.-China relations evolved in the...

Gallagher said, “Today we find ourselves in the midst of a generational struggle that threatens not only our national security, but the freedoms and values we hold as Americans.” While we’ve taken a NEW look at how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) seeks to dominate critical industries, or undermine allied countries like the United Kingdom and Australia, we need to go deeper: why has the threat posed by China grown so quickly, and how does it threaten our freedoms as Americans? Why should we be concerned about ac...
2020-05-121h 13The NEW LookA NEW Look at DairyWisconsin is America’s Dairyland, and for good reason: we are one of the country’s leading dairy producers, and make the best cheese in the entire world. Dairy is integral to our identity, but this industry is facing historic economic challenges. 2020 was supposed to be the year that dairy farms across our state were able to turn things around, but the Coronavirus pandemic changed that -- causing worker shortages, reductions in demand, and farmers to dump their milk product. How exactly is the Coronavirus impacting Wisconsin Dairy Farms, and what is being done to help them out? What will...
2020-05-081h 27The NEW LookA NEW Look at Australia with Andrew Hastie (Australian Federal MP)Last week on the NEW Look podcast, Rep. Gallagher was joined by British MP Tom Tugendhat to discuss a growing recognition – both in the United States and the United Kingdom – that security threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) will force us to re-evaluate our relationships with China. But years before we came to this realization in the U.S. and U.K., our allies in Australia had not only been sounding the alarm about the malevolence of the CCP, but had been living through these threats to their security. What caused Australia to identify these threats early on...
2020-05-041h 02The NEW LookA NEW Look at the United Kingdom with Tom TugendhatThe crisis we face has in many ways opened the world’s eyes to the malevolence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and strengthened a growing bipartisan consensus on the national security threats this regime poses. And once the dust settles, Congress looks poised to take a number of actions that will re-evaluate our relationships with China, from bringing pharmaceutical manufacturing back to the U.S. to examining other areas of overreliance on the country. But is this bipartisan shift unique to the United States, or are our Western allies also waking up to this threat as well? What wi...
2020-04-2758 minThe NEW LookA NEW Look at American Institutions with Yuval LevinIn order to combat the severe economic and health threats posed by the Coronavirus, Congress took unprecedented bipartisan action to keep the country afloat. Months ago, the thought of passing a $2 trillion, bipartisan economic relief package would have been unthinkable, let alone passing it in less than a week. But right after Congress took action — providing hope that it might put partisanship aside to govern in this time of crisis — it adjourned for an undetermined amount of time without a plan to continue working, leaving programs like the Paycheck Protection Program unfunded while punting on taking further action for week...

Although we're still months away from a vaccine available for mass distribution, we are moving at unprecedented speed to bring a solution to market thanks in part to synthetic biology -- a process that allows us to modify DNA and create new outcomes. But what really is synthetic biology and why is it important to the development of a vaccine? How can we use this type of...

This is not just a health challenge or physical challenge or an economic challenge, for many individuals and families it is a mental challenge. We humans are social animals—we are not made to sit shut inside all day every day. What makes this even more difficult for many is the added anxiety of caring for a loved one who may be uniquely vulnerable to the virus (or being unable to visit and care for our loved ones at all). In such times of crisis, it is important to focus on...
