It's the endgame for Tehran's nuclear program, and gas prices on the way down. Barbara and Mike Steger (in for Susan) connect it all, live at 11am Eastern.
Can Western civilization be rebuilt? Mike explores America's industrial revival, Vernadsky's vision of human progress, and why rebuilding requires more than economic growth.
The real obstacle to peace in Ukraine and Iran isn't Moscow or Tehran — it's the British imperial system, from Zelensky's London meetings to King Charles reportedly moving to cancel Trump's state visit over Zelensky.
A New Birth of the U.S. Economy: Tariffs, Industry, and the Physical Economy
The Supreme Court Didn't Kill Tariffs. Here's What's Actually Happening: A 17% trade deficit decline, billions in new factory investment, and a nuclear renaissance — Brian Lantz has the real scorecard.
At his February 20th press conference, he put it plainly: before the ruling, there was uncertainty. Now, there's certainty. And he's right.
In this week's Saturday class, Brian Lantz cuts through the noise to show what's actually happening in the physical economy — not the stock ticker, not the bond market, but the factories being built, the workers being hired, and the supply chains being rewired on American soil.
Brian walks through the tariff situation with precision.
The 10% import surcharge under Section 122 is in place.
Section 301 investigations continue country by country.
The 50% tariff on steel and aluminum under Section 232 is untouched.
And the results are already showing: a 17% decline in the trade deficit between April and December 2025, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
But the real story is what's being built.
Japanese and South Korean firms are investing billions in American manufacturing — from a synthetic diamond grit facility in Georgia to a $6 billion zinc smelter in Tennessee backed by DoD capital.
Vulcan Elements is constructing a $1.4 billion rare-earth magnet supply chain, end to end, right here.
And the nuclear renaissance is accelerating: Valor Atomics plans to have a microreactor operational by July 4, 2026, the DOE is requesting states to host nuclear innovation campuses, and an 11-gigawatt nuclear campus is underway near Amarillo.
Brian also highlights the young leaders driving this transformation — Vance, Rubio, Greer — and draws a parallel to the generation Hamilton assembled to build the first American System.
These aren't Wall Street insiders.
Greer grew up in a mobile home. Rubio's dad was a bartender. They're fighting for a producer economy because they come from the world that needs one.
This is the kind of briefing you need heading into the 2026 midterms. For deeper, regularly updated coverage of the physical economy, subscribe to Brian's free Substack.

Rebuild the USA: The Trump Presidency and Beyond
After all the years of campaigning, Americans have finally come to the agreement that we will Make America Great Again. But, how do we actually implement the intention, and with a minimum of mistakes along the way?
Expert in the almost forgotten science of physical economy. Basing his interventions on fundamental concepts, he’s engaged in a far-ranging dialogue to shape the future of our economy & culture.
Founding member of the LaRouche movement in the 1960s. Former editor of LaRouche’s writings and EIR magazine. Regular host of our Saturday class series.
The chip in your phone, the guidance in your car — all of it came from the race to the Moon. Kesha Rogers on how Apollo ignited the digital age, and why Trump's Artemis Moon base is about to do it again.
Every leading astronomer in Europe tried to find the lost asteroid Ceres with statistics. Every one failed. An unknown 24-year-old, Carl Gauss, found it from 41 days of data — by refusing to calculate and insisting on principle. Bruce Director on why that method is the cure for the age of AI.
No class this Memorial Day weekend. A short note on the origins of the holiday, a thank you to our supporters, and a look at next Saturday — Bruce Director returns.
