The 2026 midterms exposed the growing divide between Trump's MAGA movement and the old GOP. From political warfare and American manufacturing to Ukraine and a new global order, the battle for America's future is entering a new phase.
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.
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.

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.
