Trump got Xi's "secret garden" tour, Bessent cornered the City of London, and the Senate revolted in his favor. Across this week's shows, one frame keeps surfacing: the American System is back, and the empire is out of moves.
As globalization collapses, America faces a deeper crisis of culture, identity, and purpose. Mike explores Poe’s “Descent into the Maelstrom,” the rebuilding of American industry, the conflict with Iran, and the spiritual foundations needed to revive the nation.

The Midweek Update - Did TRUMP Just Get Ambushed With Epstein Allegations On Purpose? - September 10, 2025
Trump’s enemies tried two ambushes this week: reheated Epstein headlines and a Qatar strike meant to derail peace. Instead, Trump flanked both—tightening ties with Doha, while Bessent hits the Fed and Chris Wright shreds green austerity.
In this episode, Susan Kokinda examines the week's most controversial headlines, revealing deeper truths behind the Epstein files, Israel's recent bombing of Qatar, and their implications for Trump’s policies. She also analyzes Treasury Secretary Bessent’s critical stance on the Federal Reserve and Energy Secretary Chris Wright's opposition to green energy policies. Kokinda argues that these moves collectively dismantle British ideological and institutional control over American policy.

As globalization collapses, America faces a deeper crisis of culture, identity, and purpose. Mike explores Poe’s “Descent into the Maelstrom,” the rebuilding of American industry, the conflict with Iran, and the spiritual foundations needed to revive the nation.
Barbara Boyd argues Tulsi Gabbard's resignation as DNI was driven by a family medical crisis — not Iran-policy disputes. The episode also covers the Senate revolt against Trump's Anti-weaponization Fund and Kevin Warsh's "regime change" plan at the Fed.
A political realignment is underway. This episode explores Trump’s long term strategy to rebuild American industry, expand the coalition, and reshape the cultural future of the nation.
Susan argues Bessent's G7 "no room for excuses" warning, the White House counterterrorism strategy naming the Muslim Brotherhood, and the new wave of cartel indictments all point at one target — not Iran, but the City of London.
