The Saturday Wrap-Up - EMPIRE MONEY: London's Hidden Hand Behind Zohran Mamdani - August 8, 2026
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.
This episode argues that Abdul El-Sayed’s Michigan Democratic primary win, driven by young voters, reflects anger from college graduates burdened by debt and lacking useful credentials, a trend Vice President JD Vance links to decades of bipartisan “globalist capitalism” that outsourced industry and weakened the middle class. Barbara Boyd contrasts British imperial economics and Marx’s attacks on Henry Carey’s “Harmony of Interest” with President Trump’s American System approach, spotlighting domestic industrial growth, mining deals, and Jacob DeWitte’s rapid Texas nuclear reactor build enabled by deregulation. The program then claims today’s DSA insurgency is fueled by foreign-linked money, citing AppLovin-connected donors backing Zohran Mamdani and El-Sayed via super PACs, alleged China- and Shanghai-based funding networks, Middle East advocacy funding, and ties to Muslim Brotherhood organizations, and urges support for Promethean Action ahead of the midterms.

Barbara Boyd links the Middle East war and Bessent's weekend yen intervention as parts of one fight: breaking the post-1971 financial order run from Wall Street and the City of London, and building the production-based economy — and New Bretton Woods — Trump's revolution requires.
Ceuta exposes globalization’s deepest failure: nations stripped of sovereignty, industry and moral purpose. Rebuilding the West requires more than borders—it requires restoring the human soul.
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.
Hamas agreed to disarm. Israel and Lebanon are talking after thirty years. Susan Kokinda shows why the decisive weapon wasn't a bomb — and the Board of Peace that Trump stood up nine days before the war began.
