Trump Declares the SAVE America Act a National Emergency — and Corners the Senate

Yesterday morning, President Trump canceled his own housing-bill signing — and dared the Senate to keep stalling. His reason: the SAVE America Act, which he now calls a national emergency.

Then the board moved overnight. The Senate reversed itself on Iran, voting 50–47 not to limit Trump's war powers after Rand Paul and Bill Cassidy flipped. Trump ordered the DOJ to investigate the oil majors — Shell, BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil — for gouging at the pump. The Iran deal is holding. And a new “DonRoe Doctrine” is quietly turning South America back toward us.

Barbara and Susan's read: the war abroad is winding down on Trump's terms, so the decisive fight is now at home — a stalling Senate, the vote-fraud machine, and the midterms. Underneath all of it is something bigger: the open return of Alexander Hamilton's American System.

The assassination of William McKinley in 1901 was like the shot through the heart of the American System.

Susan's point: our own economic tradition — that wealth comes from human ingenuity, not from looting — has been buried for 125 years. Now a sitting Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, is throwing his arms around Hamilton in public. In our 250th year, the thing the empire spent two centuries trying to erase is back on the table.

The Senate has proved itself to be utterly brain dead — in terms of what the population is actually concerned about.
— Barbara Boyd

That gap — between what Trump is building and what the Senate understands — is the whole fight. Here's how the show laid it out.

REPLAY — Thursday, June 25th

Here's what we covered (links jump to that moment in the broadcast):

• The SAVE America Act Is Now a “National Emergency” Adam opens cold: Trump cancels his own housing-bill signing until the SAVE Act passes, the Senate reverses on Iran overnight (50–47, Paul and Cassidy flip), and the DOJ is sicced on oil-company price gouging.
• Who Really Sets the Price at the Pump Barbara on the gouging probe: Shell, BP, Chevron, and Exxon all trace back to the City of London's market-rigging — the same companies that resisted “drill, baby, drill” to protect shareholder value.
• Closing Every Line of Escape — and Reclaiming Hamilton Susan: Trump won't let the Senate hide behind a toothless housing bill, and Treasury Secretary Bessent just embraced Hamilton in public — the American System, buried since 1901, back in our 250th year.
• The DonRoe Doctrine: South America Gets Fixed Barbara on the poll-topper: Colombia, Peru, and Argentina were engineered into cartel-drug states by design — and Trump-aligned governments are now taking them back, with Washington backing them up.
• Fauci, COVID, and the Weight of Tulsi's Disclosures Bill Boda opens the Fauci block. Barbara points to her Monday update for why the Gabbard disclosures matter and what cover-up they crack open.
• The 9,500-Word Hit Piece on Tulsi Gabbard “Some Elephant” asks if Gabbard delivered the truth. Barbara: the Washington Post's Monday smear — calling her a cult member — is the proof she's the real deal.
• The Biden Pardons Were Issued for a Reason Nancy's question on the Fauci pardon. Barbara: you can't let any of them off the hook — trace it back to 2020, the laptop, and the story they buried.
• Will Alberta Declare Independence? Kevin's question on Canada. Susan on the October referendum and what a breakaway Alberta would actually mean.
• A Crime Against Humanity — and the Case for Nuremberg Barbara on our rotten court system and why COVID demands a Nuremberg-style reckoning; Susan adds the element the chat kept raising.
• Starmer Falls — but Does Anything Actually Change? Johann and Brendan write in from the UK. Susan: it's a “more convenient exit from No. 10,” not real change. Barbara: the tell was Starmer refusing to open the North Sea.
• The Real Test of Any Senator Barbara: the test is whether they'll write Trump's executive orders into statute — and the resistance is grave. Susan: Trump is playing the hardest hardball to pass the SAVE Act, but as Gen. Blaine Holt says, in war the enemy always has a vote.
• Beat Them at Home — From Murkowski's Alaska to Your Block Barbara: even where a senator isn't up this year, build a movement that makes them feel it. The home front, not the courts, decides the midterms.
• Closing: Call Your Senator, Beat the Filibuster, Build the Movement Barbara on the 60-vote math; Susan's final charge — create a movement so powerful no candidate dares run from Trump.

From the Senate Floor to the Fourth of July

The thread Barbara and Susan kept pulling: the courts won't save the country, and neither will a Senate that doesn't get what the President is doing. The population does the saving — by organizing.

If you're not on our bootcamps, if you're not getting out our flyers, if you're not signing up to be an election inspector or a poll worker — what are you doing?
— Susan Kokinda

We're a week from the Fourth of July. Get copies of the Promethean PAC flyers, bring them to your Independence Day cookout, and start the conversation on your own block. The fight at home is the one we have to win.

Hamilton built the American System — the one Trump is now pulling back into the open. Wear it. Talk about it. Walk it onto your block before the Fourth.

Next Midterm Bootcamp — Monday, June 29th

If this show landed and you felt the urgency, that's the right reaction — and the next step is to show up. As Susan said on air, it's the population, not the courts, that wins a midterm.

See you next Thursday.
