Newt Gingrich on the Next Generation of Threats

Thought Leader: Newt Gingrich
August 31, 2026
Source: Newt's World

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, WWSG speaker Newt Gingrich examines whether the United States is prepared for a rapidly evolving generation of national security threats. In a new episode of Newt’s World, Gingrich is joined by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford to discuss a bipartisan review of the original 9/11 Commission Report, including what the country learned from the attacks, which reforms have worked, and where America’s intelligence and security systems may need to evolve.

Their conversation explores a threat landscape that now extends far beyond traditional terrorism. From AI-guided drone swarms and cyberattacks on critical infrastructure to gray-zone warfare and foreign infiltration of American institutions, Gingrich and Crawford discuss how adversaries are increasingly targeting vulnerabilities that did not exist—or were not fully understood—25 years ago. Crawford emphasizes the importance of anticipating threats before they become crises, while the discussion underscores a larger lesson from 9/11: national security requires the ability to imagine and prepare for threats before they materialize.

As former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and a longtime leader in American public policy, Newt Gingrich brings decades of experience and historical perspective to conversations about national security, politics, leadership, and global affairs. His ability to connect lessons from the past with emerging challenges provides audiences with valuable insight into the forces shaping America’s future.
