  • Monday Brief: CFR Admits Defeat as Trump Shows America's Hard Power

    Susan Kokinda analyzes President Trump’s suggestion that Iran could someday join the Abraham Accords, arguing it reflects a foreign policy built on “real physical economics” rather than geopolitical rules. She contrasts this approach with criticism from figures like Mike Pompeo and highlights White House Communications Director Steven Cheung’s sharp rebuttal. Kokinda points to the National Security Strategy’s focus on reindustrialization, “the future belongs to the makers”, and frames energy independence, supply-chain security, and tariffs as “hard power.” She interprets the Council on Foreign Relations’ new “Future of American Strategy” project as an admission that the liberal international order and the U.S.-U.K. “special relationship” are ending, citing CFR contributors who dismiss reindustrialization. The episode also notes emerging diplomacy and economic cooperation involving the U.S., Russia, China, and India.

  • Midweek Update: Bessent's "No Excuses" Bombshell

    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s “No Money for Terror” message at the G7 is framed as sanctions on Iran, but Susan argues the real warning is aimed at allied “excuses” enabling terror financing through shell companies in Europe, shadow banking in the Middle East, and cartel networks. Reviewing recent OFAC designations, Susan Kokinda highlights multiple entities with London-linked addresses and UK jurisdictions, presenting them as evidence pointing to the City of London’s financial role. She then cites the White House’s new counterterrorism strategy naming the Muslim Brotherhood as the root of modern jihadi groups, and claims British intelligence historically built and used Brotherhood networks, citing Robert Dreyfuss and Mark Curtis and noting UK Foreign Office secrecy over recent contacts. Finally, she connects “no room for excuses” to intensified action against cartels, citing recent extraditions, indictments, and Mexico cooperation as part of a broader war on “Dope Incorporated.”

  • Monday Brief: Trump and Xi's Secret Garden: Why London Is Panicking

    Barbara Boyd argues the key outcome of Trump’s China visit was the personal trust between Trump and Xi, symbolized by Xi’s “secret garden” tour previously reserved for Putin, and framed as establishing guardrails for U.S. China strategic and tech competition amid the Iran war and energy geopolitics. She says London and Democrats are “screaming” because Trump is reshaping global economic relationships while Treasury Secretary Bessent lifts U.S. sanctions on Russian exports. The episode targets Mark Carney and Keir Starmer as City of London figures who tried to capture China finance, advance BRICS as a dollar alternative, promote a synthetic reserve currency via CBDCs, and steer $130T through green finance, efforts Boyd says have failed as Trump reverses “Green New Deal” policies. She highlights DOJ election-rigging probes, renewed scrutiny of “Russiagate,” anti-fraud prosecutions, voter backlash, and insurgent politics in Los Angeles and London.

  • Midweek Update: Exposed: Carney's Secret Toronto Plot Collapses

    Barbara Boyd criticizes Sen. Elissa Slotkin’s claim that Trump will need China’s help over Iran and argues the U.S. has leverage because China is hurt by the Strait of Hormuz closure while the U.S. has surplus oil and gas. She says Slotkin joined a Toronto meeting with Mark Carney, Barack Obama, Center for American Progress figures, and Alex Soros aimed at regaining the working class and preserving the “rules-based order,” while the UK revolts against Keir Starmer and Europe bets on defense spending tied to Ukraine. Boyd cites allegations involving Zelenskyy’s circle and John Brennan’s remarks as evidence of a “bureaucratic insurgency.” She highlights testimony from Pete Hegseth and Jamieson Greer on defense-driven manufacturing investment, job creation, record exports, and a reduced trade deficit, and suggests Trump’s China trip could enable U.S. China. Russia cooperation in space and nuclear technologies.

  • Monday Brief: Putin Exposes Trump's China Reset

    *Get our NEW PAMPHLET, BYE BYE GLOBALIZATION!* https://prom.ac/bye26. As President Trump prepares to travel to China, this episode argues that Putin’s remarks about Russia’s “partners and friends” (China, India, and the U.S.) reveal a shifting global alignment that alarms the Obama. Soros network. It examines the Global Progress Action Summit in Toronto, where Barack Obama appeared and Center for American Progress leaders, including Neera Tanden and Patrick Gaspard, framed Trump’s presidency as an “interregnum” and promoted Mark Carney’s “Principled Pragmatism,” described as preserving globalist structures while rebranding to address public backlash. The script contrasts this with what it calls a “new strategic map” driven by Trump, Putin, and Xi, highlighted by Victory Day context, an announced Russia. China energy deal, and Trump’s proclamations. It concludes that Democrats seek midterm gains but face setbacks from redistricting rulings, prompting renewed efforts to win back working-class voters.

  • Midweek Update: Carney's New War on Trump

    As attention focused on President Trump’s Iran breakthrough, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met European and Commonwealth leaders in Armenia and said the rules-based international order is over, arguing it will be rebuilt out of Europe around Canada, the EU, the UK, and Australia. The episode frames this as a rival power center consolidating against Trump’s America, then highlights Carney’s appointment of Louise Arbour as Canada’s Governor General, emphasizing the office’s powers and Arbour’s role as a UN tribunal prosecutor and advocate for creating the International Criminal Court, alongside references to George Soros’s Open Society support for the ICC and Jack Smith’s work there. The script then covers a Trump administration press conference on beef, citing declining cattle numbers, ranch losses, and consolidation among four meatpackers controlling 85% of processing, and links this to decades of cartelization and foreign influence in food and commodities.

  • Monday Brief: Strait Showdown: Trump's Project Freedom Puts Iran

    President Trump announces “Project Freedom,” directing the U.S. Navy to escort neutral-country ships through the Strait of Hormuz starting Monday and warning that interference will be attacked, while noting positive U.S.-Iran discussions and framing the move as a test of whether Iran’s negotiators control the IRGC. The episode argues Trump is using oil and gas to rebuild the U.S. economy and to displace London’s oil-pricing power, citing April 20 Presidential Determinations under the Defense Production Act, a National Energy Dominance Council led by Doug Burgum and Chris Wright, and rising U.S. production driving lower prices, a manufacturing revival, and a shrinking trade deficit. It contrasts this with post-1971 “petrodollar” strategy, OPEC shocks, “controlled disintegration,” and Iran-related destabilization, and claims modern media propaganda, from Lippmann to Operation Mockingbird to recent censorship networks, drives anti-Trump narratives.

  • Midweek Update: Begging: King Charles Visits Trump

    Barbara Boyd frames Tuesday as a major display of power by Donald Trump, highlighting three “inflection points”: King Charles’ visit, new DOJ actions, and Iran’s economic unraveling. She argues the White House ceremony masked a struggle over the “special relationship,” citing FDR’s anti-colonial demands and interpreting Trump’s beehive visit as signaling America as the new “master,” while Charles’ address to Congress is portrayed as a subtle critique of Trump via references to checks and balances, NATO, Ukraine, and environmental themes. Boyd then details DOJ moves: an indictment of Jim Comey over his May 2025 “86 47” seashell message, an indictment of Fauci aide David Morens for an alleged Wuhan lab cover-up, and federal raids targeting large-scale entitlement and loan fraud she links to Democratic networks. Finally, she cites Trump’s claim that Iran is collapsing under oil and Treasury pressure, alongside the UAE leaving OPEC and shifts in global oil shipping and insurance.

  • Monday Brief: Britain's Last Play

    Susan Kokinda links a third assassination attempt on Donald Trump at the Washington Hilton, where a 31-year-old Californian, Cole Tomas Allen, charged a Secret Service checkpoint with firearms and knives, to a broader political struggle she frames as the British imperial system versus Trump’s “American System.” She argues Trump’s own remarks about assassinations point to a pattern of targeting “impactful” leaders, comparing today’s climate to anarchist-era killings around 1900 and the 1901 assassination of William McKinley. Kokinda ties the attack’s timing to King Charles’ Washington visit, a new book, The Queen and Her Presidents, and a House of Lords/Chatham House report on “rebalancing” the UK. US partnership, highlighting UK dependence on the postwar “rules-based order” and concerns about a lasting US shift under Trump.

  • Midweek Update: Regime Change: Trump Puts the Fed & British Empire

    In this midweek update, Susan Kokinda argues that Kevin Warsh’s Senate Banking Committee testimony, calling for “regime change” at the Federal Reserve and blaming inflation on excessive money creation, signals a broader shift aligned with the Trump administration against what she describes as an Imperial, British-led free-trade order. She highlights Warsh’s criticism of post-2008 quantitative easing as benefiting financial asset holders while many Americans own no assets, and contrasts this with Democrats’ focus on divestment issues. Kokinda ties Warsh’s stance to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s emphasis on raising living standards over bailing out markets and to Trump’s comments on Fed independence. She then points to Trump’s April 20 Defense Production Act action citing market failures in energy infrastructure, including transformer shortages, as national-security threats, linking this to energy independence and Iran, and contrasts it with Mark Carney’s globalist posture and references to the War of 1812.
