So, Gen, I trust they want to bring back the separation of powers?

So POS 2051, I trust you'll go on a diet, do something about your looks, and try to get an education? Because, being Fat, Ugly, & Stupid is no way to go through life. Yet you Dumbocrats seem to persist, like a bad cold that just won't go away! And get up out of your momma's basement, and get a fricken job already!

AI is the future. It can be used for good or bad, but you can't ignore it.

Glad you had Susan on, it was a great episode.

This interview was a coup for Jim, and one of the most interesting ones that he's done.

I'll probably listen to it again tomorrow.

If DJT isn't aware of Susan, Barbara BOYD, Mike Steger, et al, at Promethean Action, well shame on him. Susan just gave us the goods on everything we need to know about the deck being dealt to US...and she did it with grace, class and total clarity. Trump needs to have these ppl do 5 min. explanatory clips to be run on all media as public service announcements. I like DJT, but, he certainly can't express things with the clarity of this WOMAN of the boomer generation (pejoratively speaking). This was a fabulous interview.

The discussion rightly highlights the American System's emphasis on productive sovereignty, directed credit, tariffs, and re-industrialization as antidotes to the distortions of financial oligarchy.

The City of London thesis captures real patterns of rentier extraction and imperial continuity that hollowed out Western manufacturing heartlands.

Kokinda's framing of the unraveling of post-war rules-based order, Starmer's resignation as a symptom of broader elite failure across the West, and the EU/UK's escalatory posturing toward Russia (tied to lingering imperial reflexes) lands with urgency.

Putin's birthday call with Trump offers a data point on de-escalation potential; however, endless NATO-adjacent brinkmanship serves no working-class interest.

Yet the analysis risks over-reliance on a hyper-scripted heroic arc: Trump, Vance, and Bessent as reliable executors of producer-republic revival against the Blob.

Re-industrialization faces brutal logistical, labor, skill, and time constraints—decades of offshoring atrophy don't reverse on their own with rhetoric or targeted deals alone.

Data centers and tech infrastructure dominate capital allocation under "national security" banners, often enriching connected players more than broad-based factory floors.

Trump's and his family's personal balance sheets show billions in questionable gains from branding, real estate, and political positioning, with limited structural delivery for the working class beyond campaign promises.

Self-preservation and deal-making instincts have long coexisted with populist signaling; principal-agent gaps persist.

Appeals to patriotism and the forgotten producer resonate. But placing all eggs in one administration's basket—framing establishment opposition as monolithic blindness to MAGA while downplaying mandate erosion, reversals, and inactions—echoes the very narrative control it critiques.

Incentives don't vanish with realignment: MIC entanglements, donor classes, and elite capture operate across figures and factions.

True American System revival demands relentless accountability, not pom-pom optimism that events unfold per grand theory.

Populism without consistent skepticism of power centers (even favored ones) risks repeating cycles of managed hope.

Valuable diagnostics on oligarchy and sovereignty are noted.

The long emergency test is whether rhetoric translates to tangible working-class gains or remains another chapter in selective scripting.

This issue is why I supported Trump.

I quit working in the news media in NYC 25 years ago because the current environment was already in place. I had been expecting the cranky, independent journalists--and in fact, my first boss was one of those--but as I joined bigger and bigger organizations, I found that I was surrounded by self-editing conformists operating as part of the pod. Their behavior is underscored by larger social changes in both the workplace and the educational environment. There has been a distinct rejection of Socratic thought; argument and disagreement is viewed as disagreeable and objectionable. The entire ethos of what Americans value has shifted away from eccentric 'rugged' individuality to one of group efforts, emphasis on feelings, and worrying about what others say (this is epidemic in the news world). We've effectively annihilated our first amendment by common consensus. And then there is money. No stringers, no actual reporting. What is reported is instead what others report.

Enjoyed the conversation. Thanks.

What a wonderful show. I also follow Promethean Action as should every Canadian and American. Pride is a sin in some circles however how can one harness their inner ambitions if not built on a job well done.

The Globalist will look down their nose at such passions as their ambition is but profiting from any charlatan scam they can concoct!!

Terrific episode!

Koknida is someone that has read the political scene extremely well. It will take folks a while to see the “Globalist” movement is the Imperial (Marxist) hand that has been behind all of the manipulation of money and wars. I recommend listening to their YouTube videos often to get a feel for what they mean. Some might say Promethean Action sees the British behind every dark corner, and they may be somewhat right. I think if you listen their commentary you will see the “Enemy of my Enemy is my friend “ happening a lot.

It was a very good interview, Thanks for having here on!!
