Russia’s 300,000 tons of diesel and Rubio’s sanctions on the International Criminal Court hit the same target: the globalist apparatus George Soros built. Susan Kokinda follows the fight from Navi Pillay’s Nobel to Rubio in Athens and a Columbus Day proclamation quoting Pope Leo XIII.
From steel mills to shipyards to spaceports, Mike Steger explores Trump’s “Freedom’s Forge 2.0”—a vision to rebuild American industry, revive the West, and relight the torch of progress.
Trump broke ground on the biggest new American shipyard since WWII, on the old Bethlehem Steel site. A day later, Rubio told the West to reindustrialize or accept decline. With 25 days to go, here's why the midterms will be won on the economy, and why you have to vote on the future.
The Monday Brief - Why Trump Banned the Press (They Taught You Snow is Black) - September 21, 2026
Trump strips White House access from select outlets; Democrats cry dictatorship, but the real target is the propaganda machine Bertrand Russell blueprinted in 1953. $6 diesel traces to decades of green, zero-growth policy—not Iran.
Susan Kokinda takes Trump’s removal of certain outlets from White House access—called censorship by the corporate press—and shows Bertrand Russell’s 1953 and 1931 blueprints for rule without armies: mass psychology locked to the governing class, dual-track education, and a lethal chamber for those who stir revolt. Diesel near $6 is traced to decades of green and free-trade zero growth, with Vance, Wright, and Oz on the record. Against the “snow is black” noise: fentanyl deaths down over 30%, overdoses down 14%, record-low poverty, record real median income, 414,000 moving part-time to full-time, and RFK Jr. on early CDC data reversing a thirty-year longevity decline.

Today's show is over. Watch the replay and join us next Thursday, LIVE. Trump is building the largest new US shipyard since World War II on an abandoned steel mill, and taxpayers get a 40% stake. Barbara and Susan explain why that wins the midterms.
