Two systems faced off this week: an American mine-to-mill build-out, and a British system that hoards diesel and sells a country for parts. The pump is not the ballot.
Why “super” and not “artificial”? Brian Lantz shows SI at work in an Arizona copper mine, aimed at a nuclear-powered Moon, and in service of new forms of human creativity. Watch the full class.
Barbara on the diesel squeeze: Ukraine's strikes on Russian refineries, Trump's threat to halt U.S. exports unless Europe released emergency stocks, and a G7 release of 100 million barrels as the start of a 35-day economic offensive into the midterms.
Author, Michigan-based organizer, passionate student of Plato’s dialogues. Committed to reviving the industrial economy and producer culture of the Midwest and to educating grass-roots activists.
A steel plant broke ground in Iowa. South Korea signed on to LNG and eight nuclear plants. Trump killed the phrase artificial intelligence. Meanwhile the other side wants you staring at the pump.
Today's show is over. Please check the replay and join us live next week. Iowa’s steel mill Monday. Alaska LNG and Korea’s energy package Wednesday. Same fight: will America build a productive system — or keep staring at the pump? Bring your questions.
Susan contrasts Trump’s Iowa mega mill and first U.S. iron ore mine in 50 years—tariffs, EXIM credit, mine-to-mill—with Carney’s summit: airport concessions, raw exports, and only 8 non-military factories.
Gas prices are the bait. The fight is Iowa’s planned steel mill, Minnesota’s new iron mine, and whether America builds its own productive system—or stays a captive market for London’s price war. Join Barbara, Susan, and Adam live Thursday.
Media howled over an autopen joke and the Xi summit—while Trump dismantles Kissinger’s 50-year framework, Xi says the Thucydides Trap can be overcome, and Rubio permanently holds both State Dept. and National Security Advisor.
Trump vs Lula at the UN — American System against City-of-London globalization — while Trump meets Xi. Barbara and Susan: ~40 days out, make it too big to rig. Get 10 friends to the polls.
Today's broadcast has concluded. Check out the replay and join us live next Thursday. Trump rolled out the red carpet for Xi at Andrews. Today’s White House summit puts trade, AI, Taiwan, and Iran on the table — live with Barbara and Susan.
Trump strips White House access from select outlets; Democrats cry dictatorship, but the real target is the propaganda machine Bertrand Russell blueprinted in 1953. $6 diesel traces to decades of green, zero-growth policy—not Iran.
Forty years without a new refinery isn’t a market failure. It’s sabotage — and they’re riding diesel straight into November. Barbara and Susan map the choke points behind the pain, then hand you the ground-game assignment: get 10 to 15 people to the polls and make it too big to rig.
Today's live show has ended. Watch the replay and join us LIVE next Thursday Morning. Empire's midterm pain machine: diesel squeeze, Iran conflict, Carney's trade war, and the London AI scare. Barbara Boyd and Susan Kokinda take your questions.
Forget the campaign ads. Susan traces two coordinated fronts against Trump’s midterms: a pain machine of diesel prices, Iran, Canada’s tariffs and bond attacks — and an AI-apocalypse panic whose paper trail runs straight to London.
Today's LIVE is over, check out the replay. Susan Kokinda was on the Midterm Convention floor this week. Today she wraps the convention and the week’s board LIVE — AfD firewall, the $5k dividend, Bessent’s ovation.
