Barbara has the story behind the arrest. Susan has the Detroit numbers nobody in the media will touch. Plus her journey from RFK to Trump — and a straight answer to a 69-year-old who asked why he should still believe.
Replay now available. Join us LIVE next Thursday. Susan is on the ground in Michigan. Tuesday's returns from Wisconsin and Minnesota tell one story — and overnight, Hellfire missiles enforced the blockade.
Barbara Boyd traces Mamdani, El-Sayed, and Obama to a single London–Soros network stoking religious conflict over Gaza, Iran, and Islam to take down Trump and the midterms — and shows how Trump is answering with the Board of Peace and a nuclear-powered productive economy.
Susan Kokinda lays out a midterm strategy that defies the "party in power loses" rule: Trump's revival of the McKinley–Hamilton American System — tariffs, industrial credit, and skilled trades — is rebuilding the working class, and that realignment can drive a 2026 upset.
Today's show is a special Monday Brief with Susan Kokinda outlining a midterm strategy she says can defy the usual “party in power loses” narrative. Kokinda argues Trump is reviving the Hamiltonian “American System” associated with President McKinley—tariffs, internal improvements, and public-private credit—to reverse decades of deindustrialization driven by the Federal Reserve era, NAFTA, and financialization. She cites new manufacturing investments, steel and aluminum production gains, and expanded federal financing tools (Export-Import Bank, Defense and Energy programs, and Commerce initiatives) aimed at supply-chain security, critical minerals, and semiconductors. She highlights workforce needs via Mike Rowe’s “Build Freedom” partnership and references a July 24 White House science report emphasizing tacit shop-floor knowledge. In Q&A, they discuss data centers, recession appointments, job timelines, Nixon, and foreign-policy “hegemony,” concluding that a working-class realignment could drive a midterm upset.

Barbara Boyd traces Mamdani, El-Sayed, and Obama to a single London–Soros network stoking religious conflict over Gaza, Iran, and Islam to take down Trump and the midterms — and shows how Trump is answering with the Board of Peace and a nuclear-powered productive economy.
From ground zero in Michigan: the socialist who vows to bring down the system was manufactured by it — Rhodes Scholar credentials, foundation money and all — while Bessent and the Trump team dismantle the machine that gutted Detroit.
Barbara follows the money behind Mamdani and El-Sayed — AppLovin alumni, CCP-tied shareholders, and Muslim Brotherhood links — and why Marx went to war with the American System Trump is now rebuilding.
Mike Steger examines Abdul El-Sayed’s political network, campaign funding, and connections—and what his rise reveals about the fight over America’s future.
