Carney walks out and calls it a war — he's right, wrong reasons. Ratcliffe's C-17 lands in Moscow. Warsh smashes the Fed's crystal ball. Nine weeks to November 3. Seven posts inside.
In this episode of Promethean Actions Weekly Class for November 1st, 2025, hosts Brian Lantz and Tony Papert discuss the significant outcomes of President Trump's recent Asia tour. This tour is set to revolutionize various international systems and dramatically accelerate the reindustrialization of the United States.

The hosts emphasize the historical context of U.S. influence on the economic strategies of Japan and South Korea and project a transformative future for the nation's physical and economic landscape. Tune in to learn about these groundbreaking developments and their anticipated impact on America's industrial and economic resurgence.
