Voters felt the pain. Too few could see the productive future beyond it. Our post-election shows confront that gap; Saturday’s space vision and American System class give us something concrete to explain—and organize for Monday’s after-action review.
Is it constitutional for the federal government to help rebuild American industry? Brian Lantz says hell yes, and traces the American System from Article I, Section 8 through Hamilton, Lincoln and national credit.
Impeachment threats. A fight over tariff powers. Susan Kokinda looks beyond the post-midterm maneuvering to Trump’s answer: rebuild American industry, restore national ambition, and make us a nation of builders again.
Strategic Overview - There Are No Lone Assassins: This Is Political Warfare - April 27, 2026
Mike Steger frames the latest assassination attempt on Trump as political warfare inside a propaganda ocean, then walks through midterm fights — Russiagate prosecutions, ActBlue/NGO money flows, the Save America Act — Iran's fractured regime, and Trump's five DPA energy memos.
Host Mike Steger discusses the attempted assassination of President Trump and argues it is unfolding inside a pervasive propaganda environment that shapes public reactions and demands easy, popular criticisms of Trump. He reviews political warfare heading into the midterms, including efforts to expose and disrupt Democratic-aligned corruption and funding networks: the Russiagate-related conspiracy inquiry (with document releases and court review), investigations into ActBlue, alleged NGO and SPLC-related fraud, welfare and border-linked money flows, and renewed pressure for the Save America Act and Senate floor action. Steger also addresses Iran’s proposal to ease the Strait situation, saying the regime is fractured and squeezed by blockade pressure. He highlights Trump’s five Defense Production Act memos as a war-powers mobilization aimed at rapidly rebuilding U.S. energy infrastructure—pipelines, refineries, transformers, grid upgrades, and nuclear expansion—framing energy as the upstream requirement for broader industrial recovery.
