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 from the Cold War of the 20th century?

To explore these questions, Rep. Gallagher is joined by Matt Kroenig, a Professor in the Department of Government and the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, on this episode of the NEW Look podcast. Matt is a leading conservative voice on national security issues, and well-known author of books like Return of Great Power Rivalry: Democracy versus Autocracy from the Ancient World to the US and China and The Logic of American Nuclear Strategy: Why Strategic Superiority Matters. During the conversation, Matt not only explains his thoughts on why democracies are better positioned for great power competition, but also discusses the end of ESPN's The Last Dance all while sharing some tips for new fathers.
