Barbara flips the Daily Beast's Goebbels smear of Stephen Miller: who financed Hitler, how Nazi propaganda worked, and why the Ark Trump is building—and Miller's mindset—will decide whether the Republic lives or dies.
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.
The Monday Brief - State Department Just Admitted the Real Target Was Never Capitalism - July 27, 2026
New Cuba report says the real target was never capital — it was Western civilization itself. Susan Kokinda traces the fight buried after Casablanca, and why Hamiltonian economics, not anti-communism, is the antidote.
This episode examines a new State Department report, “Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism,” and argues it points to a present threat rather than a Cold War rerun: Cuba’s influence on left-wing and terrorist networks in the U.S. and the Americas, and the shift from Soviet-style communism to Third Worldism, which targets Western civilization itself. Susan Kokinda traces the movement’s post-Soviet evolution through the 1990 São Paulo Forum and its use of parties, NGOs, cultural institutions and narco-terror financing, while showing that Western establishment institutions like the Inter-American Dialogue engaged rather than opposed it. She then contrasts Roosevelt’s Casablanca vision of development with British imperial extraction, and argues the Cold War erased that fight. The antidote is a revival of Hamiltonian “American System” economics — linked here to J.D. Vance’s comments and to Morocco’s “Donald J. Trump Highway” as development in practice.

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.
The Democrats took Congress. The fight over who runs the economy didn't end. From the Middle East to your healthcare premium, yesterday's LIVE traced the same financial system—and the work we have to do next.
George Washington lost more battles than he won, and he won the war. Here is Trump's next move after the vote, what Congress can't undo, and where you come in, starting with the Bootcamp on Monday, November 9.
