Amid America's ongoing drug epidemic, lawmakers on Capitol Hill have proposed legislation to prevent drug smuggling efforts from cartels at the southern border. Now, the FDA has approved the over-the-counter sale of Narcan, a drug used to treat and reverse opioid overdoses. FOX News Medical Contributor and Professor at NYU Langone Health Dr. Marc Siegel joins the Rundown to discuss America's drug crisis, how Narcan works, and important signs to watch out for to spot an overdose. Later, Executive Vice President at Fort Wayne Recover and Allendale Treatment Nate Moellering discusses the benefits of making Narcan accessible, the effects it has on the body, and why he advocates for overdose prevention and intervention as a former addict himself. Campaign travel has begun in anticipation of a 2024 showdown for the Republican presidential nomination, and many pundits and preliminary polls are forecasting a close contest between former President Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Meanwhile, Americans' faith in the political system has decreased, and a recent survey of U.S. citizens showed that values like patriotism and tolerance have decreased significantly from previous years. Former Congressman Will Hurd talks 2024 GOP politics and his new book, ‘American Reboot.' He breaks down a winning strategy for Republicans in a national election, how GOP candidates will appeal to voters in 2024, and the important distinction between TikTok and other social media companies.   Plus, commentary by Former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Ben Carson.

The United States is facing a significant challenge in competing with China on technological innovation, cybersecurity, and national security issues. With China's rapid rise as a global technological superpower, the U.S. must take steps to ensure its own competitiveness and security. This includes addressing concerns such as intellectual property theft, cyber attacks, and the development of emerging technologies. The U.S. government must prioritize these issues in order to protect its economic and national interests. In this episode of The Intersection on the IQT Podcast, Steve Bowsher is joined by Will Hurd, author of “American Reboot” and managing director at Allen & Company. Will has a lot of experience with national security issues, having worked as a CIA officer, member of Congress, and cybersecurity executive. Tune in to learn about the challenges and solutions that can help shape America's technological future. Key Takeaways: - The problems and difficulties that must be tackled in relation to competing with China - US government's approach and collaboration with the private sectors on innovation and competitiveness - Explaining pragmatic idealism and the inspiration behind it 

“The American people want serious people to solve serious challenges,“ declares former Texas Congressman Will B. Hurd in this season finale on the U.S. House of Representatives. “That's the lesson we should take away from 2022.”  But he's quick to add, “I don't think that lesson is going to be implemented in this new congress.” Hurd then dissects the GOP factionalism at work in the contested house speaker's election and confirms that most House members are more interested in “messaging bills” than progress on tough, important issues like immigration and climate change.  The Purple Principle covered the U.S. Senate in our previous episode with former centrist Senators Doug Jones and Bob Corker.

We live in a world of political extremes, with the far right and far left denigrating each other on a regular basis. But could the future lie with politicians who appeal to everyone else? Our guest on this show says yes. Former CIA agent and Republican congressman Will Hurd of San Antonio won three terms representing Texas's 23rd district. He was told he could never it because it was bright blue, while he was red.Hurd says he succeeded by engaging with everyone, not just voters who shared all his beliefs. “In the media in Washington DC…moderate means middle of the road,” he says. “But in reality, moderates are the ones that do the hard work and get things done because they're the ones that are having to take a philosophy to people that may not identify with it.”Hurd grew up bi-racial in Texas, which gave him the early experience of finding common ground. In his book American Reboot he outlines how to "get big things done" by focusing on policy, not politics. He also shares his thoughts on what Americans should be worrying about, including losing control of the technology which we use to run our lives. Additional InformationLet's Find Common Ground PodcastMore shows from The Democracy Group

From former Republican Congressman and CIA Officer Will Hurd, a bold political playbook for America rooted in the timeless ideals of bipartisanship, inclusivity, and democratic values. It's getting harder to get big things done in America. The gears of our democracy have been mucked up by political nonsense. To meet the era-defining challenges of the 21st century, our country needs a reboot. In American Reboot, Hurd, called "the future of the GOP" by Politico, provides a clear-eyed path forward for America grounded by what Hurd calls pragmatic idealism-a concept forged from enduring American values to achieve what is actually achievable. Hurd takes on five seismic problems facing a country in crisis: the Republican Party's failure to present a principled vision for the future; the lack of honest leadership in Washington, DC; income inequality that threatens the livelihood of millions of Americans; US economic and military dominance that is no longer guaranteed; and how technological change in the next thirty years will make the advancements of the last thirty years look trivial. Hurd has seen these challenges up close. A child of interracial parents in South Texas, Hurd survived the back alleys of dangerous places as a CIA officer. He carried that experience into three terms in Congress, where he was, for a time, the House's only Black Republican, representing a 71 percent Latino swing district in Texas that runs along 820 miles of US-Mexico border. As a cyber security executive and innovation crusader, Hurd has worked with entrepreneurs on the cutting edge of technology to anticipate the shockwaves of the future. Hurd draws on his remarkable experience to present an inspiring guide for America. He outlines how the Republican party can look like America by appealing to the middle, not the edges. He maps out how leaders should inspire rather than fearmonger. He forges a domestic policy based on the idea that prosperity should be a product of empowering people, not the government. He articulates a foreign policy where our enemies fear us and our friends love us. And lastly, he charts a forceful path forward for America's technological future. We all know we can do better. It's time to hit "ctrl alt del" and start the American Reboot.

In a time in U.S. history marked by polarization and partisan gridlock, Americans are looking for answers. For former Republican congressman and CIA officer Will Hurd, these questions need answering—fast. As the country faces new challenges and it becomes increasingly difficult for Washington to act amid political divides, Hurd proposes a guide to “reboot” the system and mobilize the country to meet the changes ahead. Called “the future of the GOP” by Politico and “the Most Interesting Man in Congress” by the Daily Dot in 2017, Will Hurd is a former clandestine CIA Officer with 9 years of service history and a three-times elected congressional representative from Texas's 23rd District. In Congress, Hurd held multiple committee appointments during his tenure, utilizing his expertise in technology, cybersecurity and national security as a leading Republican voice for bipartisanship. In his new book, American Reboot: An Idealist's Guide to Getting Big Things Done, Hurd grounds his analysis of the American political system in “pragmatic realism,” offering solutions to a crisis-rocked country based on American values. In it, Hurd walks through the challenges presented by rising income inequality, unprecedented technological changes, dishonest elected officials, the Republican Party's ailing vision for the future and the shifting balance of global power. There, drawing from personal experience and professional expertise, he draws a path forward amid these uncertainties to a more unified, efficient and equitable America. Join us as Hurd presents a playbook for America to boldly advance through the challenges ahead and into a new era of bipartisanship, inclusivity and democracy.

On Monday, President Biden's 2023 Budget Proposal would give $6.9 billion in aid to Ukraine on top of the $13.6 billion in funding he signed off on earlier this month. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has left the country in ruins and its people dying without proper resources. Congresswoman Victoria Spartz (R-IN) grew up in Ukraine and has friends and family who remain trapped in the chaos. She joins the Rundown to discuss her recent trip to Poland, the horrific conditions experienced by those in Mariupol, and what the world should be doing to aid Ukraine and prevent a world war.   2022 has proved to be a year of major disagreements on Capitol Hill, with lawmakers struggling to find a middle ground on a variety of issues. Despite the rare bipartisan agreement on the support for Ukraine, many in the Senate are split when it comes to supporting President Biden's nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court. As they weigh their nomination votes, senators are also engaged in tense negotiations for a new coronavirus relief package, with the main point of contention being how this package will be paid for. Former Texas Congressman Will Hurd's new book, American Reboot, unpacks the issue of partisan disagreement and he joins to discuss his thoughts on the 2022 midterm elections, how Republicans can generate substantial change through policy, and his philosophy surrounding the belief that a political party should be "driven by the people it represents".   Don't miss the good news with Tonya J.

How'd you hear about The Purple Principle? Click here to answer our one question survey: https://fluentknowledge.com/tpp-survey Purple Principle listeners know these not so United States need a new political operating system. But who's going to code it? Based on a great new book, American Reboot (just out from Simon & Schuster), and our TPP conversation, it's clear former three-term, centrist Texas Congressman Will B. Hurd should be a part of that “U.S. 2.0” development team.  Hurd was far from the most logical candidate to win not one but three terms representing the vast, 800-mile long 23rd district, covering southwest Texas. First off, he had been out of the public eye and in the CIA for a decade prior to his first attempt. Second, he was a moderate, Black Republican running in a largely Hispanic and Democratic district. Yet he had more than sufficient appeal with Democrats and independents to win that TX-23rd Congressional seat on a second attempt in 2014 and in two subsequent re-elections. Of his arrival to the U.S. House of Representatives, Hurd recounts his early experiences with artfully two-faced Congressional colleagues. He describes being attacked in a committee hearing by a Texas Democrat who then chummily provides advice to Hurd immediately after the hearing. And he recalls a major television show appearance where four Congress members (two Republicans, two Democrats) swap family niceties until the camera lights come on, then promptly descend into “Wrestlemania.” In this episode, our sixth in this Texas mini-series, we also discuss Hurd's “brain gain” objectives on immigration reform. Hurd argues that expanding and refining the legal immigration process based on labor shortages would take pressure off illegal immigration. Hurd also recounts his bipartisan, cross-country road trip with then-Congress member Beto O'Rourke (D). The 35-hour, live-streamed ride resulted in millions of social media views, lots of TV coverage, and some warm bipartisan glow—until the next election cycle.  “It was silly to me that we go from a moment where the entire country's like, wow, this is really cool—civility in politics. And then…everybody went to their corners,” Hurd recalls with, on balance, more optimism than disappointment. “But I saw at that moment the American people want their elected officials to disagree without being disagreeable. And it was a reminder that way more unites us as a country than divides us.” For more on Will Hurd's ideas for “getting big things done,” tune into “A New American Operating System?

On Monday, President Biden's 2023 Budget Proposal would give $6.9 billion in aid to Ukraine on top of the $13.6 billion in funding he signed off on earlier this month. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has left the country in ruins and its people dying without proper resources. Congresswoman Victoria Spartz (R-IN) grew up in Ukraine and has friends and family who remain trapped in the chaos. She joins the Rundown to discuss her recent trip to Poland, the horrific conditions experienced by those in Mariupol, and what the world should be doing to aid Ukraine and prevent a world war.   2022 has proved to be a year of major disagreements on Capitol Hill, with lawmakers struggling to find a middle ground on a variety of issues. Despite the rare bipartisan agreement on the support for Ukraine, many in the Senate are split when it comes to supporting President Biden's nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court. As they weigh their nomination votes, senators are also engaged in tense negotiations for a new coronavirus relief package, with the main point of contention being how this package will be paid for. Former Texas Congressman Will Hurd's new book, American Reboot, unpacks the issue of partisan disagreement and he joins to discuss his thoughts on the 2022 midterm elections, how Republicans can generate substantial change through policy, and his philosophy surrounding the belief that a political party should be "driven by the people it represents".   Don't miss the good news with Tonya J. Powers.   Plus, commentary from James Carafano, Heritage Foundation's Vice President for Foreign & Security policy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

ABOUT AMERICAN REBOOTFrom former Republican Congressman and CIA Officer Will Hurd, a bold political playbook for America rooted in the timeless ideals of bipartisanship, inclusivity, and democratic values.It's getting harder to get big things done in America. The gears of our democracy have been mucked up by political nonsense. To meet the era-defining challenges of the 21st century, our country needs a reboot.In American Reboot, Hurd, called "the future of the GOP" by Politico, provides a clear-eyed path forward for America grounded by what Hurd calls pragmatic idealism-a concept forged from enduring American values to achieve what is actually achievable.Hurd takes on five seismic problems facing a country in crisis: the Republican Party's failure to present a principled vision for the future; the lack of honest leadership in Washington, DC; income inequality that threatens the livelihood of millions of Americans; US economic and military dominance that is no longer guaranteed; and how technological change in the next thirty years will make the advancements of the last thirty years look trivial. Hurd has seen these challenges up close. A child of interracial parents in South Texas, Hurd survived the back alleys of dangerous places as a CIA officer. He carried that experience into three terms in Congress, where he was, for a time, the House's only Black Republican, representing a 71 percent Latino swing district in Texas that runs along 820 miles of US-Mexico border. As a cyber security executive and innovation crusader, Hurd has worked with entrepreneurs on the cutting edge of technology to anticipate the shockwaves of the future.Hurd draws on his remarkable experience to present an inspiring guide for America. He outlines how the Republican party can look like America by appealing to the middle, not the edges. He maps out how leaders should inspire rather than fearmonger. He forges a domestic policy based on the idea that prosperity should be a product of empowering people, not the government. He articulates a foreign policy where our enemies fear us and our friends love us. And lastly, he charts a forceful path forward for America's technological future.We all know we can do better. It's time to hit "ctrl alt del" and start the American Reboot.ABOUT WILL HURDWill Hurd is a former member of Congress, cybersecurity executive, and officer in the CIA. For two decades he's been involved in the most pressing national security issues challenging the country whether it was overseas in dangerous places, boardrooms of international businesses or the halls of Congress. Will is a native of San Antonio and graduate of Texas A&M University. He is a trustee of the German Marshall Fund, board member of OpenAI, and managing director at Allen & Company.

Former Texas Congressman and CIA Agent Will Hurd connects with SABJ Managing Editor Ed Arnold to offer his insight for business leaders looking to grown the next generation of talent. Straight from the pages of his new book "American Reboot", Hurd shares from his expertise in cybersecurity and technology, providing fresh ideas for our audience.

Our special guests for this fifth episode on Lone Star State identity are two authors with Texas-sized reputations: Lawrence Wright (The Looming Tower, God Save Texas) and Stephen Harrigan (The Gates of the Alamo, Big Wonderful Thing: A History of Texas).   Wright, a New Yorker staff writer, wastes no time in spinning around our hypothesis that polarized national politics might erode that rather famous, not shyly-held Texas state identity. “Texas is taking over the country,” states Wright emphatically. “Whatever happens in Texas is the future of America.”  Longtime Texas Monthly writer Stephen Harrigan does see some weakening of the loud, proud Texan identity in recent times. But he also observes the state's current GOP political monopoly pushing back against these changes, natural or not.  Wright and Harrigan have more in common than a shelf of prize-winning American books bearing their names on dust jackets. Born in the same Oklahoma Hospital in the same year, they both moved to Texas as adults, wrote for Texas Monthly, currently live in the same Austin neighborhood and recently published books on their adoptive state: Wright's reportorial memoir, God Save Texas, and Harrigan's Big Wonderful Thing: A History of Texas.   This episode features an extended discussion between these longtime friends and some-time collaborators on the magnetic appeal of Texas. They assess the legacy of political icons on the Texas of today and tomorrow, such as independent Texas President Sam Houston; independent presidential candidate Ross Perot; one-term populist Democratic Governor Ann Richards; and Lady Bird Johnson. They also bemoan the loss of rational, moderate, Texan-accented voices in recent time, such as former Republican Texas House Speaker Joe Straus, and three-term moderate Republican Congressman Will Hurd, author of the just published book American Reboot. And they contemplate the potential for a “passionate centrist” like the Texas-born actor Mathew McConaughey to bridge the political divide in Texas, perhaps with spillover effects. Tune up your understanding of this strongest and proudest of state identities, and gauge the influence of ever more populous and prosperous Texas on American politics and identity writ large.  Original music created and composed by Ryan Adair Rooney SHOW NOTES Our Guests Lawrence Wright, staff writer at The New Yorker, author of The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11, The End of October, The Plague Year, and God Save Texas.
