  • Saturday Wrap-Up: Rubio's Golden Shield How America Responds to Canada s EU Defection

    President Trump reacts to Mark Carney’s push to align Canada with the EU, calling it “laughable” and warning that if it’s hostile the U.S. could impose heavy tariffs or even halt trade with Europe. The episode argues the administration is securing the southern border through Marco Rubio’s Latin America trip and “Operation Shield of the Americas,” linking Peru’s participation and Keiko Fujimori’s election to an intensified campaign against cartels, drug production and trafficking, and Chinese influence. It frames Carney as a longtime opponent of U.S. interests, citing his Bank of England role, “green” credit agenda, and support for Ukraine, and claims Canada-EU plans target Arctic control and the U.S. northern defense line. It ends with Trump announcing a permanent U.S. presence in Greenland and warning Canada to curb fentanyl labs and criminal networks.

  • Midweek Update: It's War: Trump vs The Empire

    This midweek update argues that the midterm elections are being shaped less by campaign ads than by coordinated economic and political pressure: rising diesel prices tied to Ukrainian strikes on Russian diesel infrastructure, energy pricing set by European exchange traders in London rather than producers, and continued Iran conflict framed as being prolonged to affect the vote. It also cites Canada’s trade war and targeted tariffs as politically timed, alongside attacks on U.S. bonds and pressure to raise interest rates, describing “full spectrum economic warfare” against Trump’s agenda. A second front is an accelerated AI panic, beginning with viral warnings from an ex-Anthropic researcher and followed by Anthropic CEO calls for regulation, which Trump and allies call a control-driven “hoax.” The script traces AI-ban lobbying to London-based Control AI, highlights foreign funding networks, and links the push to international oversight and reduced national sovereignty.

  • Monday Brief: They Can’t Win the United Kingdom; So, They’re Dismantling It

    Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland’s first ministers meet to pursue independence, which the episode frames as part of a broader effort to shift power back to Brussels and destabilize the U.S. ahead of the November midterms. It cites rising nationalist politics across Europe and argues Labour is betraying Brexit through EU alignment and net-zero policies, while Trump warns the UK faces bankruptcy if it keeps North Sea oil “untouched.” The episode then focuses on Canada’s Mark Carney, highlighting a Canada. Ukraine “100-year partnership,” support for Ukraine’s NATO path, plans to ramp up drone production despite limited inventory, and reported exploration of EU associate membership alongside new infrastructure meant to bypass U.S. tech and energy ties. It also claims European rate hikes, bond-market “noise,” and diesel refinery strikes are used to fuel anti-Trump economic pressure, while Trump’s advantage is cooperation with Xi and Modi to prevent war and stabilize finance.

  • Saturday Wrap-Up: Dallas Midterm The Extraordinary Revolution

    Special live Saturday Wrap-Up with Susan Kokinda. September 12, 2026. Fresh off the Dallas Midterm Convention floor, Susan locates the moment on the stage of history: a second American Revolution in two phases. Trump’s 2024 return as the break from the British Empire, and the Convention as the launching pad for phase two, like 1787’s Constitution (signed September 17. Constitution Week) and Hamilton’s economic revolution. The title “This Extraordinary Revolution” is RFK Jr.’s floor line. JD Vance captured the principle: City of Man vs City of God, Augustine as patron, every American child born with a birthright. One Nation Under God. Economics is creation and dominion over nature, not money piled up.


    That defines the new Republican Party of Lincoln and McKinley. Common sense vs communist crazy. Carville can’t stay with Abdul El-Sayed. Fetterman walks into a room of Republicans, rejects socialism, and introduces McCormick, steel way of life, 100,000+ jobs with Trump. McCormick: the Republican Party is the party of the American worker. No surrender. RFK Jr.: longevity’s 30-year decline reversed (preliminary CDC). Promethean Action/PAC on site, flocked, organizer’s dream, Michigan floor, President’s skybox.


    Then your questions. Why $5,000? McKinley’s tariff surplus needed a spending commission; Trump’s ~$2,000 rebate got blocked by the Supreme Court; the Trump dividend shares the growth. National bank vs the Fed. Ten family and friends to the polls, pretend Trump is top of the ticket. Drop the black-pill Israel/Iran control story and look at what was done: tariffs, fraud, border, longevity. Local GOP: poll workers, watchers, doors, phones. Epstein dumps forced Mandelson out and helped bring down the British government, eye the top of the imperial food chain. Carney’s EU/China play will wipe Canada’s auto industry; he’s not a dupe, he’s an imperial operative. About 53 days to November 3.

  • Thursday Q&A: Europe's AfD Firewall Collapsed

    Join us for a live broadcast, with your hosts Barbara Boyd, Bruce Director and Adam Sturman. Thursday September 10th at 11am Eastern, 8am Pacific every Thursday. We take your questions from both the Youtube live chat and our Newsletter Subscribers!


    This week, Saxony-Anhalt just blew a hole in Europe's firewall. The AfD won the Landtag election with 43.8%, strongest party, 39 of 83 seats, just short of an absolute majority. CDU second at 17.2%. Record turnout. The other parties are still clinging to their cordon, government formation is deadlocked, and London and Brussels are freaked, because the wall they built around the AfD is broken in public view. Barbara Boyd and Bruce Director take apart what that collapse means for the whole trans-Atlantic fight.


    Then the board that won't sit still. Trade war with Canada. A Houthi attempt to blow the Iran war back open. Rubio heading to South America, including the war on drugs. And the Monday Brief background you need: Donroe Doctrine Goes Live. Putin with Witkoff and Kushner on camera, the first Kyiv trip this term, Bessent choking offshore funding channels, and Trump reopening the Falklands/Malvinas question. https://youtu.be/4FZaqDQSf8U


    Plus: Susan Kokinda is at the Convention this week, and your questions. Bring what's on your mind. Barbara and Bruce take them live.

  • Midweek Update: Election Bomb in Germany Ends Ukraine War Carney's EU Dream Is Dead

    A Saxony-Anhalt provincial election saw Germany’s nationalist AfD win 43.8% to the next party’s 17.2%, prompting alarm in the British press and among EU-linked elites because the AfD campaign pledged to end open borders and halt German funding for the Ukraine war. The script argues the surge reflects a broader European revolt driven largely by economics: China’s industrial strategy and competition are squeezing Germany’s Mittelstand, with the Wall Street Journal cited on job losses and a shift toward importing more advanced machinery from China, while green policies, nuclear shutdowns, and the ban on cheap Russian energy have pushed prices 40, 50% higher and cut energy-intensive production by 15%. It links Germany’s downturn to EU war-mobilization plans, casts doubt on Mark Carney’s planned EU-Canada alignment, and contrasts that with Trump-era peace efforts, including a Trump-Putin call, corruption probes in Ukraine, and U.S. officials downplaying inflation impacts from Canada’s tariffs.

    The Kremlin released rare footage of a high-level meeting between Vladimir Putin and Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, followed by their first trip to Kyiv this term and a comparatively restrained response from Volodymyr Zelenskyy, signaling revived U.S. diplomacy on Ukraine. The script argues Putin views the American team as a more trusted broker than European leaders and notes a recent sequence of engagements, including CIA Director Ratcliffe’s public Moscow visit and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s G20 outreach to Russia’s finance minister. With Kirill Dmitriev present, Moscow described detailed discussions of major U.S.-Russia economic projects, alongside claims that Bessent is choking off offshore and banking channels funding Ukraine via Europe, the UK, and Canada. It then pivots to Argentina’s renewed Malvinas/Falklands push as Trump publicly and reportedly reconsiders automatic U.S. support for British sovereignty, recalling internal U.S. divisions during the 1982 war.

  • Saturday Wrap-Up: Bessent vs Wall Street

    Get our FREE Newsletter


    A blockbuster U.S. jobs report showing 162,000 jobs created is contrasted with Canada’s 40,000 job loss under Mark Carney, as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tells Steve Bannon that Wall Street and major outlets like the Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal stoke economic panic and spread “fake news,” citing a misframed story about Norway’s sovereign wealth fund shifting from Treasuries into higher-yield Fannie and Freddie securities. The episode frames today’s challenge as a “Red Queen economy,” arguing America must grow productivity fast enough to outrun debt, China’s advances, and infrastructure and skills obsolescence, while blaming Biden-era inflation and spending. It spotlights Trump administration workforce initiatives, including expanded training and Pell Grant use and the new Foundry School, an advanced manufacturing program with a Stanford curriculum and international PAX Silica partners. Finally, it covers Trump executive orders aiding ranchers’ beef processing and DOJ antitrust scrutiny of major meatpackers and retailers.

  • Thursday Q&A: Bessent Strangles Iran, London’s Offshore Just Got Hit

    Join us for a live broadcast, with your hosts Barbara Boyd, Susan Kokinda and Adam Sturman. Thursday September 3rd at 11am Eastern, 8am Pacific every Thursday. We take your questions from both the Youtube live chat and our Newsletter Subscribers!


    This week, CENTCOM began striking IRGC targets inside Iran at noon Eastern Tuesday, after attempted attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and on American service members. First exchange of fire in over a month, then this new wave. And Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just went with it: Operation Economic Outcast, the first direct hit on British offshore. London's Estanica Trading Ltd, designated as owner of the Gambia-flagged tanker TELA, alleged Iranian crude. French and Swiss firms named too. Barbara Boyd takes apart the two fronts, kinetic on the IRGC, financial on the City's oil machinery.


    Then Susan Kokinda on the fight at home. The administration is pivoting hard to economic messaging: beef, prescriptions, energy, jobs. Dallas Midterm is coming fast, if you're going, we want to hear from you. JD Vance took on the progressive rage machine in Michigan. Trump met U.S. refiners on expanding capacity now.


    Plus: G20 Asheville, Bessent's growth agenda versus Europe looting "lazy money", and your questions. Bring what's on your mind. Barbara and Susan take them live.
