11am Eastern, 8am Pacific, 4pm UK time. AfD’s 43.8% win in Saxony-Anhalt cracked Europe’s firewall. Barbara and Bruce take your questions LIVE — Carney, Canada, Ukraine funding, and what’s next.
AfD’s 43.8% win in Saxony-Anhalt rattled British and EU elites—pledging to end open borders and halt Ukraine funding. Barbara ties the revolt to Germany’s Mittelstand under China pressure, green/nuclear/energy shocks, Carney’s EU dream, and Trump-era peace moves.
Rare Kremlin video: Putin with Witkoff and Kushner, then their first Kyiv trip this term and Zelenskyy's restrained reply. Moscow cites trust and economic projects; Bessent chokes offshore funding. Argentina presses Malvinas as Trump rethinks automatic U.S. backing of Britain.
Trump and Bessent are shattering the free-market orthodoxy and reviving Henry Clay's American System — and the jobs numbers prove it's working.
Susan argues that Trump's recent comments praising overlap with Bernie Sanders and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's critique of “slavish devotion to free markets” signal not a change of sides but a shift to a different economic system. It frames Trump’s “new economic plan” as an industrial policy that uses tariffs, tax policy, directed investment, and potential public-private stakes in major AI firms, while also challenging Federal Reserve practices and Wall Street forecasting. Citing the latest jobs report (172,000 jobs versus a 105,000 forecast, with prior months revised upward), it claims the plan is working, though manufacturing hiring is still early, following a sequence of orders, production, investment, then jobs described by Peter Navarro. Susan says this approach revives Henry Clay’s “American System,” presented as distinct from free markets, free trade, or socialism.

Harvard’s battle against the American System spans centuries. Mike examines globalization, America’s skilled-worker crisis, and what President Trump is building to replace it.
Bessent explains Wall Street, the financial press, and Democrats keep being proved wrong—contrasting Canada’s job losses with a blowout U.S. jobs report, calling out FT/WSJ panic, and framing a Red Queen economy that must outrun debt, China, and skills gaps.
