He argues

• Trump’s tariffs and manufacturing push are slowly rebuilding the industrial base while

• the most urgent crisis is Iran, citing Obama-era cash transfers, regional Islamist dynamics, and reports of repression inside Iran.

Steger reviews a dramatic U.S. rescue of downed F-15 crew, Trump’s criticism that allies didn’t assist, and his portrayal of NATO as weak.

He discusses mediation efforts involving Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey, a looming escalation deadline, and the need for an off-ramp.

Snapshots and Notes

This Easter weekend, while the media was telling you Donald Trump was about to blow up the world, American forces pulled two airmen out of enemy territory inside Iran, both of them alive.

And four American astronauts rounded the loon for the first time since 1972.

But at this moment, a whole section of the world’s population and our own was rooting for the United States to fail.

Many just hate America.

Others angrily react because Trump’s success, America’s success, demolishes the globalist world order they have spent their entire lives building, defending, or impotently opposing.

Trump pulling this off challenges everything they believe.

That’s why on Easter Sunday, a death hoax about Trump spread to over a million people on social media.

The claim was that the Trump had been taken to Walter Reed Hospital and the White House was in emergency meetings.

Roads were closed.

One account on Blue Sky posted…

That is what desperation looks like.

Barbara Boyd has been tracking the Imperial Great Game for decades.

Today, she is working on three stories…

Tehran Has Until Tuesday [01:39]

Here is where things stand.

On Easter Sunday, the president got on true social and spoke directly to the men in Tehran.

Not to the diplomats,
not to the pearl clutchers of London and Brussels,
to that regime directly.

The deadline is 8 p.m. Tuesday.

And he told the Wall Street Journal exactly what that means.

If Iran doesn’t act, they won’t have power plants and they won’t have bridges.

At the same time, around the clock, peace negotiations are taking place.

Now ask yourself, who is lining up on which side?

The Gulf states have already decided - ironically, they’re closer to Israel than ever before.

The UAE is actively assessing its military contributions, including mine clearing operations to reopen the Strait.

The Saudis have signaled support.

Bahrain circulated a UN resolution authorizing force, but it was watered down by Russia, China, and France.

Did you catch that? French objections.

Right after those objections, a French container ship broadcast owner France to Iranian authorities and sailed straight through the strait, the first Western vessel since the war began.

link / archive

Paris preaches international law while playing footsies with Tehran and supporting the killing of millions in Ukraine.

It’s getting oil and gas from a regime that has directly attacked the United States.

That’s Macron’s so-called third way, independent, he claims, of both the US and China.

He’s working on it with Carney in Canada and Starmer in the UK.

Their stated goal is saving the rules-based international order, the globalist order, which we’re now emerging from, the dark age.

Here’s how Macron described their mission…

Pretty words, no army because U.S. participation in NATO is now a dead letter.

NATO was never the defensive alliance it claimed to be.

It was the Praetorian Guard for the Empire’s Forever Wars, American blood and treasure, British imperial architecture.

That world is over, it’s gone.

Trump knows exactly who these people are and he’s moving anyway.

That is not a small thing.

That is a civilizational shift.

While They Wished Him Dead, America Did the Impossible - Twice [05:03]

While that death hoax was spreading on Saturday, U.S. forces were executing one of those daring rescue operations in American military history, or the world’s for that matter, recovering a downed two-man F-15 crew from inside enemy territory in Iran.

Trump’s announced it with characteristic simplicity.

We got him.

Both crew members came home, an Easter miracle.

And today, Easter Monday, four astronauts will be rounding the moon for the first time since 1972.

Think about what those two things mean together.

Tom Wolfe wrote about what it takes to be the kind of man who sits on top of an enormous Roman candle and waits for somebody to light the fuse.

Something beyond bravery, a quality of mind he called the right stuff.

link

We haven’t seen it celebrated in this country for a long time.

John F. Kennedy understood what was actually at stake.

At Rice University in 1962, with only 42% of Americans supporting the lunar program, he didn’t hedge.

He didn’t manage expectations.

He said this...

“We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

“Because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills.

“Because that challenge is one that we’re willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win.”

Trump has signed executive orders aimed at quadrupling American nuclear energy capacity from 100 gigawatts today to 400 by 2050.

Clean, abundant, American-made power.

A sovereign industrial economy that has abundant fossil fuels right now and is simultaneously building the economy of the future.

The rescue mission, the Artemis crew, the nuclear Renaissance, the end of the petrodollar empire.

These are not separate stories - they are one story,

The return of the right stuff to America and the people who wish Trump dead on Easter Saturday cannot stand it because every one of these achievements is a direct reputation of everything they told you was possible.

What Butler, Pennsylvania Changed [08:34]

Now on July 13th, 2024, a bullet passed within a fraction of an inch of Donald Trump’s head in Butler, Pennsylvania.

He stood up, raised his fist and mouth the words, “fight, fight, fight.”

Think about what happens to a man in that moment.

He had seen his own mortality, felt the wind of it, and he chose to stay in the fight anyway - that didn’t come out of nowhere.

It came after years of prosecutions designed to bankrupt him and put him in prison to die and kill his movement.

It came after every institution in the country, legal, financial, media was turned against one man and those who supported him.

He had already been through the fire before the bullet.

In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed to be spared what was coming and then accepted it.

The acceptance was the transformation.

Butler, Pennsylvania was Donald Trump’s human form of Gethsemane.

He came into this administration a different man, having paid the price, having already decided - and that changes how a man leads.

You will find this in every great president…

• Washington at Valley Forge

• Lincoln almost assassinated as he traveled to his inauguration

• Kennedy, who understood from his own brush was doused in the Pacific that there are things worth risking everything for

The empire knows this about Trump, which is why they don’t just attack his policies, they attack his existence.

They run death hoaxes on Easter Saturday because a man who has already faced death and has chosen to stay cannot be easily intimidated.

He is ending the globalist world order that has funded perpetual war for generations against the opposition of every financial institution, every foreign ministry, every legacy media outlet, the City of London controls.

He knows exactly who they are.

He knows exactly what they are capable of, and he is moving anyway - that is the American tradition.

Not comfort, not managed decline, the willingness to decide what must be done and do it for the Republic that is coming, not the one that exists now.

I can’t tell you what exactly comes next.

There is too much we cannot see, hidden by the classified nature of both diplomacy and warfare.

Anyone who tells you they know precisely how this ends is selling you something.

But a few things are clear.

The Europeans and their democratic allies here at home are openly rooting for American failure.

Because if Trump succeeds, there is no going back to their business as usual.

And business as usual, the global swirled order, the forever wars, the managed decline of the American Republic was a system that nearly killed us.

Macron and Starmer chose to prolong the slaughter in Ukraine rather than make peace.

They’re betting on failure because Trump’s success exposes their crimes against the Ukrainians and against their own people.

Trump isn’t betting.

He is insisting that the American people can rise to this moment.

And this Easter weekend, with a daring rescue from inside Iranian airspace and four Americans rounding the moon, we saw that they can go where no one has gone before, build what no one has built.

THAT is the American mission.

It has always been that way.

When NASA set a launch date for Artemis II all those months ago, there was no way of knowing that the world would be in desperate need of something so uniquely awe-inspiring.

On a planet consumed by war, hate, tragedy, and lack, these astronauts are giving the human population a rare gift: the chance to focus on what we have in common — not the differences splintering us all apart.

Looking at the brilliant blues and greens of the earth from the capsule window, the clouds swirling in lazy circles over entire continents, it’s impossible not to be struck by the breathtaking perfection of our home in the middle of an otherwise dark and endless universe.

This chance to glimpse our world, nothing but a speck in the expanse of space, is an invitation to return, even as a people divided by cultures and languages and priorities, to a place of wonder and gratitude.

“Whether you believe in God or not, this is an opportunity for us to remember where we are, who we are, and that we are the same thing — and that we’ve got to get through this together.”

02:31 Liberation Day: One Year Later
06:42 The Empire Confession, What "Going Rogue" Really Means
09:35 Sovereign Nations, Sovereign Deals

One year after Liberation Day, the results are in - and they're exactly what President Trump promised.

Susan Kokinda breaks down

• the blowout March jobs report (178,000 new jobs vs. 60,000 expected)

• the 55% drop in the trade deficit, and

• the hard manufacturing data showing American industry is expanding for the first time in decades

… proving that Trump's break from the British free trade system is working.

She then turns to the strategic front, where

neocon architect Robert Kagan inadvertently confessed in The Atlantic that eighty years of American wars in the Middle East were never about our security - they were about enforcing the "liberal world order" - and where Trump's questioning of NATO membership is cracking the imperial architecture wide open.

From China's view of Trump as the "least hawkish person in Washington" to Putin's economic diplomacy with Egypt, a new world of sovereign nations making sovereign deals is emerging in real time.

What the establishment calls "going rogue," Kokinda argues, is simply what independence looks like - and with midterms less than nine months away, the fight to secure it is just beginning.

Snapshots and Notes

Here’s how a Fox panel reacted yesterday when they got the news about the March jobs report…

“This is one heck of a report, folks.

“Wow is right, Steve Moore.

“Nonfarm jobs coming in, 178,000.

“178,000 jobs.

“The expectation was 60,000, folks.

“We didn’t get a loss in manufacturing jobs.

“We got a hit of 15,000 manufacturing jobs.

“Private sector jobs, get this, folks, 186,000.

“186,000, the estimate was for 70,000.”

If you understand what President Trump is actually doing, those job numbers shouldn’t surprise you at all.

One year ago, on April 2nd, 2025, it was Liberation Day, when the White House announced it was dumping the free trade system to put America first.

And the president has done it.

He is ending that system.

And the establishment’s Atlantic Magazine put it in their own terms with this headline, America is now a rogue superpower.

link / archive

Now, they mean that as a condemnation.

We take it as a compliment.

Because what they call going rogue, we call liberation.

But CNN ran a poll this week that said Trump’s approval rating on the economy hits a new low.

Well, of course they did.

When you can’t argue with physical reality, you argue with feelings.

They want you in the role of the anxious consumer, not the informed citizen.

Because an anxious consumer doesn’t understand that Donald Trump is liberating us from a very evil system.

Here’s what they won’t tell you...

The British free trade system was never just economic policy.

It was a weapon of imperial control, the mechanism that

• stripped our manufacturing base,

• killed our middle class, and

• turned a nation of producers into dependent consumers.

Susan Kokinda has been watching the deliberate dismantling of America’s industrial economy for 50 years.

And that’s why she knows what Trump is doing is revolutionary and why need to stay in touch in this vital fight.

Here’s what she is covering in the episode...

Liberation Day: One Year Later [02:31]

So one year ago this week, President Trump liberated the United States from what the White House called the illusion of free trade.

But Secretary of State Marco Rubio put it more precisely at the Munich summit recently...

“Deindustrialization was not inevitable.

“It was a conscious policy choice, a decades long economic undertaking that stripped our nations of their wealth, of their productive capacity and of their independence.”

That’s the confession the empire didn’t want on record.

Because if deindustrialization was a conscious choice,
then rebuilding it is also a conscious choice.

And that’s exactly what you’re watching.

Two days before the jobs report, Donald Trump’s special trade advisor, Peter Navarro, was pointing to new manufacturing data, which shows

• new orders up

• production rising, and

• supplier deliveries surging

And then Navarro made a critical point, that all of..

Again, t his can NOT be faked…

At some point, steel gets cut, machines get turned on, and goods start moving.

Now, the White House Liberation Day statement filled out the picture…

link / archive

Our trade deficits are down with China by over 30% and with the EU by over 40%.

But here’s what those deficit numbers actually mean on the ground…

Our industrial production index is now at the highest since 2019.

The United States has surpassed Japan in crude steel production last year for the first time since 1999.

And manufacturing productivity has had the biggest annual increase in nearly two decades.

Then, the day after the anniversary of Liberation Day, those jobs numbers landed.

And here’s Steve Moore, one of the other panelists, making a point that matters the most…

“I think one of the things this tells us is that employers believe that the situation in the Middle East is temporary and they’re planning for the future and they’re hiring workers according to this report.

“And so it appears that employers and businesses believe that Trump is right.”

That’s the structural shift Navarro has been describing.

Businesses are not reacting to simply a quarter, they’re making bets on a new American economy.

And President Trump put his own exclamation point on it.

Not only were the jobs numbers great yesterday- 178,000 new jobs - but the trade deficit was down 55%, the biggest drop in history.

Thank you, Mr. Tariff.

Now, it’s true, many Americans don’t yet feel this personally, and the media is counting on that.

But ask yourself this question, why don’t you feel it?

Because for 50 years, the British free trade system stripped out the productive economy that would let you feel it.

At one time, 31% of our jobs were directly in manufacturing - now it’s only 8%.

And those were the jobs where one income could raise a family.

And as Secretary of State Rubio said, it was a conscious policy to de-industrialize.

President Trump has declared war on that system, and like the American Revolutionary War, it’s going to take time to secure our independence.

But the fight has begun, and we are rebuilding our productive capacity and producing things again, not just consuming them.

A nation of consumers is an economic colony.

A nation of producers is sovereign, and that fight between the British system and the American system has been raging for over 250 years.

When you are watching the SHELL GAME then you know that’s the battlefield - those watching the shells and not the shell game are believing the battlefield is at the pump.

The Empire Confession, What “Going Rogue” Really Means [06:42]

The battle lines are also being clarified on the strategic side.

Since the end of World War II, the British empire has told us who our friends and our enemies are: the free world versus communism, the West versus Islamic extremism.

Nevermind that along the way, they had a big hand in creating those enemy ideologies.

The result of that is we’ve ended up fighting to keep their world intact.

One of the key neoconservative architects of that world and of the last 35 years of perpetual war in the Mideast just admitted it.

Robert Kagan, who happens to be married to Victoria Newland, herself an architect of the Ukraine crisis, confessed in The Atlantic this week in the article that was headlined, America is now a rogue superpower.

Here’s what Kagan said…

Well, it wasn’t American-led, but did you catch that?

We weren’t fighting for American interests - we were fighting for the liberal world order, the empire’s management architecture.

Kagan said that in his own words.

So when Donald Trump breaks from that and fights for American and not imperial interests, well, that’s what Kagan calls going rogue.

And this week Trump told the press exactly what’s going rogue in practice in reference to NATO.

Here’s how the BBC covered it…

Asked by Britain’s Telegraph newspaper if he is reconsidering US membership of

NATO, he said, …

And then the BBC let it all hang out by declaring Trump’s invective underlines, again, his misunderstanding of how this 32 member alliance works.

Well, Donald Trump understands exactly how it works.

And the response of NATO over the past month has given him the political capital he needs to end the liberal world order.

Kagan said it himself, “for 80 years, America was in the Mideast, not for our security, but to enforce the liberal world order.”

NATO was the institutional architecture of that enforcement.

And when Trump refused to treat it as automatic, when he asked what’s in it for America, the alliance is crumbling.

That’s not a misunderstanding.

That’s a sovereign nation asking a sovereign question for the first time in 80 years.

So the old architecture is fracturing.

The question is what’s being put in its place.

Sovereign Nations, Sovereign Deals [09:35]

The answer is already visible, if you know where to look.

David Rennie, who’s The Economist’s geopolitical editor, made a confession similar to Kagan’s in a discussion where he described how China looks at Donald Trump…

“I’ve listened to them tracking Trump since the first time when I was in Beijing and then through into the second term.

“They currently think of him as, as you say, chaotic and difficult to deal with, but also tremendous opportunity because they say, and I do believe them because I always, you know, the more cynical they are, the more truthful I think they’re being, because they are exceedingly cynical, is he is the least hawkish person in Washington they know.

“He is more willing to let China buy high-end American chips to invest in America that his transactional, selfish, first instincts are an opportunity for China.

“One of the things we heard was if this Iran war weakens him too much, that’s actually bad for us.

“Because if he’s really weak in Washington, then that foreign policy blob, the kind of the hawks waiting in the wings, they get maybe more power.

“So they like dealing with this chaotic, selfish, transactional, not very hawkish Donald Trump.”

Think about that - the Economist, which is the mouthpiece for the City of London, is admitting that China understands and welcomes what they fear.

Russian President Vladimir Putin met with the Egyptian foreign minister in the Kremlin this week, and he made a very measured comment…

NOT exactly a denunciation of the United States…

But here’s where it gets more interesting.

Russia is engaged in the same kind of transactional policy centered on economic development, which characterizes Trump’s policies.

Taas said that Putin is also discussing creating a green and energy hub in Egypt.

And the energy part of this deal with Egypt includes nuclear power, not unlike what the U.S. is doing with some Gulf states.

This is not chaos.

This is what a world of sovereign nations looks like when the imperial management layer is removed - multiple powers pursuing their own interests making deals based on what actually serves their nations rather than what serves Kagan’s liberal world order.

Summary

So where does that put us?

One year ago, the empire told you that tariffs would be a catastrophe.

Yet, here we are today with our manufacturing base reawakening the composition of our labor force changing and the trade deficit down dramatically.

One year ago, membership in NATO was inviolate, the special relation with the UK was intact.

Today, Kagan is declaring that the United States has gone rogue from that liberal world order.

Well, what they call rogue, we call independence.

And here we are three months from the 250th anniversary of our independence from that very empire whose system Trump is now challenging.

And we are less than nine months from the vital midterm elections, which will determine whether the president can fully reassert our independence.

This simple but elegant and hard-hitting animation will explain exactly what that means.

It's a great tool anyone can use to educate children and adults about our right to life, liberty, and the property we create - and our responsibility to think, speak and act.

In essence, it comes down to enablement v. empowerment

The Difference Between Freedom and Liberty

The terms “freedom” and “liberty” are often used interchangeably in the English language, despite having distinct origins.

“Liberty” is said to be derived from French in the late 14th century, however, it is found in books much much older, like the original scrolls used for the Bible and Torah. Meaning, if you see the word freedom being used in the Bible, it should be the word liberty as ALL books for the bible were written long before the French claimed their right to the word. [etymonline]

“Freedom” comes from German in the 1500s [etymonline]

Both are commonly defined as the quality or state of being free - but are often are used out-of-context.

While there are subtle distinctions in their modern usage, many philosophical and political discussions treat them as synonyms.

For instance, some sources indicate that the choice between using “freedom” or “liberty” can sometimes be a matter of stylistic preference.

Additionally, the U.S. Constitution guarantees fundamental freedoms like speech, religion, and the press, which are often discussed under the umbrella of liberty.

In general, Freedom applies to the person while Liberty applies to the populace.

Liberty as Responsible, Ordered Freedom

Liberty implies the responsible use of freedom, often associated with concepts like “liberty and responsibility” or “ordered liberty.” It suggests that freedom operates within a framework of moral purpose or societal constraints.

Liberty is seen as a collective state achieved within a society that supports laws, equality, and a system of tradeoffs, ensuring the greatest freedom for all by sometimes limiting individual freedom.

In U.S. constitutional law, ordered liberty refers to creating a balanced society where individuals have the freedom to act without unnecessary interference and access opportunities, all within a fair legal system.

Liberty is often viewed as an external construct, referring to freedom from arbitrary and unreasonable restraint upon an individual, as enshrined in the U.S. Constitution’s due process clauses.

Freedom as Unrestricted Individual Action

Freedom is described as the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants, focusing on the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action, and implying doing whatever one pleases.

True freedom is defined as the capacity of the rational will to choose what is good, guided by reason, rather than simply the ability to make any choice without limits.

Holiness for the Working Day

Freedom is considered an internal construct, emphasizing the ability to take ownership of one’s thoughts and actions, suggesting that while the freedom to act can be taken away, one’s attitude about circumstances cannot.

Some argue that freedom is a more concrete concept than liberty, pertaining to a person’s choices in everything they do, including the will to govern themselves.

Distinctions and Interconnectedness of the Concepts

The distinction between liberty and license is highlighted, where license refers to the ability to do whatever one wants without moral constraints, contrasting with liberty’s inherent moral purpose.

Some perspectives suggest that while freedom enables individuals to act on desires without interference, liberty is the moral imperative to act justly and responsibly, structuring freedom within lawful boundaries.

The concept of “freedom to choose” can be a mechanism of governance, where institutions define the boundaries of individual thought and behavior under the guise of granting freedom.

Historically, the American Revolution was inspired by the concept of liberty, with phrases like “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” appearing in founding documents, suggesting a focus on collective societal structure.

Democratic strategist Madeline Summerville and Mark McKinnon, creator of “The Circus: Inside the Greatest Political Show on Earth,” join “On Balance” to discuss the Democratic Party’s strategy heading into the 2028 election.

Our Take

When any person, group, organization is constantly looking for a ways and means to win despite what the populace wants, they become so self-absorbed they truly believe it is everyone else who is wrong… They have produced the very thing they despise in others.

Do you think the BRICS nations are going to save us from the New World Order?

Do you think the Iran mullahs, China’s Xi, and Russia’s Putin are going to stick it the evil capitalists?

Wre you in favor or making excuses for the lock down for the scamdemic called COVID-19?

Do you believe the BRICS currency is going to save us from the tech oligarchs?

Are you believing that the New World Order is our saving grace?

Do you have any idea what polarity is with nations without borders?

Then you might be suffering from multipolaritis…

SOURCES AND TRANSCRIPT

Victor Davis Hanson and host Jack Fowler discuss why several NATO allies - especially France - restricted the United States from using bases and airspace during operations aimed at Iran, arguing Europe benefits from U.S. security while pursuing divergent domestic and foreign-policy agendas.

Hanson urges the Trump administration to frame NATO burden-sharing and reciprocity in “sorrowful” terms, consider tighter bilateral ties with supportive allies, and better explain the difficulty and aims of the Iran campaign, including deterrence and possible conditions for regime change while clarifying U.S.-Israel alignment.

They also address tensions with Canada over defense spending and policies, the scale of alleged fraud in California programs highlighted by City Journal reporting, and Democrats’ attempts to rebrand figures like Pete Buttigieg to win back white working-class voters.

Landing a rocket on Earth is already tough.

But landing a spacecraft on the Moon is a hundred times harder.

Yet SpaceX is aiming even higher.

They plan to bring Starship HLS, a vehicle as tall as a 15-story building, down onto the Moon’s rugged, boulder-strewn surface, covered in fine, slippery lunar dust, with astronauts on board.

It’s an incredibly risky feat, with a very low margin for success.

So what if, instead of pushing this giant to its limits, SpaceX went with something smaller and simpler… with a landing success rate as high as 99%?

That's where the idea of Mini HLS comes in.

Take a closer look in the video…
