America is at a crossroads — politically, economically, and technologically. In this episode of New Frontiers, Paul Johnson sits down with Eliott Pollack, Henry Thompson, and Bob Robb to unpack the forces reshaping the country.

- The conversation dives into Donald Trump’s tariffs and his clash with Ronald Reagan’s free-market legacy, exposing how protectionism, inflation, and political rage are reshaping the U.S. economy. What does it mean when one man can raise taxes through “emergency powers”?

- At the same time, artificial intelligence is rewriting the rules of the economy. Major layoffs at Amazon, Intel, and Salesforce raise questions about automation, productivity, and the future of human work. Is AI an economic threat — or America’s next big growth engine?

- And while Washington remains paralyzed by partisan division, Independent voters are on the rise — with Arizona leading a movement to challenge the two-party system. Can a new generation of Independents restore sanity, cooperation, and innovation to American politics?
