The FBI asked the NYT not to publish Air Force One's classified defense details.
They ran it anyway.
Trump already told you why: "They go after the big names." Lincoln. McKinley. Now him. What do all three have in common?
TRANSCRIPT BEGINS~~~
Susan Kokinda: The FBI asked them not to do it, but they did it anyway.
Just before the President departed Ankara, the New York Times leaked classified information about Air Force One's self-defense capabilities, and they ran it at a momment of renewed hostilities with Iran, and renewed threats to the President.
On July 11, the Department of Justice issued subpoenas to the four authors of that Times article. The DOJ made clear that it's looking for the source of the leak, and the leak of that classified information impacted national security.
The real question is this; throughout our nation's history, who benefits from eliminating American presidents? And today, what has those forces in full panic mode?
I'm Susan Kokinda, and by the end of this video I'm going to show you what this Administraiton is doing that have made the stakes higher than they've been in over 100 years.
Here's what I'm covering:
1st: The pattern behind the Air Force One leak
2nd: The policy behind it - and why neither Mark Levin & the Washington Post like it
3rd: How the loss of that policy has compromised national security, and how this administration is rebuilding it.
So, the New York Times reporters have been subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday, July 15th. The subpoenas were issued by Jay Clayton, the US Attorney in Manhattan.
Now, Clayton is clearly not a lightweight. President Trump has recentlyl nominated him to become the new Director of National Intelligence, and his confirmation hearing is scheduled for the same day that the reporters have been ordered to appear in court.
So as this plays out, the 'narrative' is already being framed. On the one side, you'll have those wrapping the New York Times and its reporters in the First Amendment.
On the other side are the justified charges that the New York Times is FAKE NEWS. It was an integral part of the first-term coup, and it is just terminally anti-Trump.
But there's something much deeper going on here. Aside from the coup involved in the Air Force One leak, a leak which clearly threatened the security of the President of the United States, the more important question is the, 'Why?'
Now President Trump himself named it over two months ago in the wake of the armed attack on the White House correspondent's dinner, which he and most of his cabinet were attending.
He was asked by a reporter why he thinks this keeps happening to him.
President Trump: Well, you know, I've studied assasinations. And I must tell you, the most impactful people, the people that do the most, and take a look at the people, Abraham Lincoln.
I mean, you go through the people that have gone through this, where they got'em. But, the people that do the most, the people that make the biggest impact, they're the ones they go after. They don't go after the ones that don't do much because they like it that way.
And when you look at the people that either, whether it was an attempt or a successful attempt, they're very impactful people.
Just take a look at the names there. They're big names.
Susan Kokinda: Did you catch that? The President told you that there's a pattern, and he named one of the big names, Abraham Lincoln.
Thirty-six years later, another big name, William McKinley, was assasinated.
Those two presidents bookend the 19th century American System revival. Lincoln launched it; McKiinely perfected it, and both paid for it. Donald Trump is now reviving it again, by name and in practice.
Understanding that is going to give you the basis to get above the headlines, and if you want the real story line, the one they've spent 100 years burying, subscribe to Promethean Action's free newsletter. The link is in the description.
Because that real storyline is the one that has been written out of our history for over the past 100 years by the establishment media, like the New York Times, the schools and the think tanks.
Abraham Lincoln and William McKinley were a threat to the British Empire because they embraced the System that made our country the most powerful in the world: the American System of Alexander Hamilton.
And on the 4th of July, President Trump said it out loud in addressing the challenge of another system, communism.
President Trump: Communism is a loser and it always will be. The communist system is the opposite of the American System, and the communist system has never worked.
Susan Kokinda: Did you catch that? He said, "the American system," and that wasn't a one-off by the President. His team has been openly giving speaches about Hamilton and the American system for months now.
And most recently, Vice President JD Vance threw down the gauntlet in terms of what the American System is replacing. The Vice President went on the Michael Knowles show and he said the quiet part out loud. He said, "The economics of the American right are much more Alexander Hamilton than Milton Friedman."
And he called that Hamiltonian tradition the future of American conservatism
Well the free- market establishment lost its mind in attacking Hamilton. Mark Levin jumped in to Milton Friedman's defense. He said, "President Reagan was a great admirer and friend of Milton Friedman. He often sought his input on economic policies."
And then he attacked Hamilton as, 'socialism-lite.'
"The so-called nationalists-populists are more socialist-lite than capitalist and republican."
And then he said he was looking forward to the debate.
Well, so are we, because here's where it gets even more interesting. Other free- market defenders came at the argument from exactly the opposite side. The president of the Club for Growth, David Mcintosh told the Vice President flat out that he was dead wrong, insisting instead that Hamilton was really a free marketeer all along.
So the free-market defenders can't even agree on what Hamilton was. Levin calls him 'socialist lite.' Mcintosh calls him a free marketer. They're arguing about which box to put Hamilton in.
Meanwhile on the left, the Washington Post is having its own problems. The Washington Post's David Lynch published a piece on Sunday with this headline: "Trump attacks 'communists.' Both want a bigger government role in the economy.
Now the problem that Lynch is having, and this apparent paradox, is what happens when you live in the world of the past century when the American System was eliminated, and the only two choices are big government socialism versus little government or no government free market.
So, in that world, if Donald Trump and JD Vance and Scott Bessent want to use the powers of the federal government to protect and advance industry, and with it the wages and living standards of American workers, the only thing Lynch can compare it to is socialism.
Well, before joining the Washington Post, Lynch reported for Britain's Financial Times, a paper that's been preaching free trade from the City of London for almost 100 years. And ignoring the American System has been part of their business model, because that empire wants you trapped in their binary world of free market versus communism.
It's a world that keeps Americans stupid and succeptible to the policies that have gutted our economic and national security over the past decades.
The President, the Vice President, the Treasury Secretary and the rest of the team have broken that trap, and they've brought back to life a system that will restore our sovereignty and strength. And it is that system, which is being put into action, that places American presidents in the cross-hairs.
So here's the part they really don't want you to see: the disastrous effect of free-trade policies on our economy and and on our national security, not in academic debates about money-flows, but in empty welding-bays with nobody standing in them.
Friedman's free trade didn't just offshore cheap consumer goods; it offshored the productive muscle of our country. The skilled trades, the manufacturing, the workforce Hamilton's tariffs were built to protect in the first place.
And decades later the bill has come due, and it's come due in the one place the nation cannot afford to be hollow: in defense industrial production.
Listen to the 'Dirty Jobs' guy, Mike Rowe, talk about the problem in an interview with JD Vance.
Mike Rowe: I mean, for every 5 tradespeople who retire, like the one you just described, two replace them, and it's been that way 11, 12 years. So the math ain't great.
Look, we need some sort of national effort to reinvigorate the trades. I don't think the solution is .gov in the end, but I don't think there's a solution without you guys.
Well, 15 years later, your Department of War called me. And I don't know if you've been read into this thing entirely, but the new campaign, they basically said yes to what I pitched 15 years ago. It's called Build Freedom.
I mean, when they tell me they need 400,000 welders and electricians for our subs, and when tell me that the new infrastructure build-out is 10 trillion and the need for electricians and data centers....Dude, the math ain't mathing.
Susan Kokinda: 400,000 welders and electricians for the submarines alone. That's not a labor shortage; that's a country that forgot how to build the things that keeps it alive.
The 'math ain't math' because for decades the people running our economy told us the real economy didn't matter, just the markets. Let someone else build it; build it cheaper overseas; ship the jobs out, and call it efficiency.
Now, remember Mark Levin, the man who called Hamilton a socialist? He's also one of the loudest voices in America for military strength and confronting Iran, and when he makes that case he reaches for two names, Ronald Reagan and Milton Friedman. Well, that doesn't hold up.
Reagan didn't build the strongst military on Earth on free-trade policies. When foreign imports threatened American factories, Reagan used tariffs and other government tools to protect semiconductors, steel and machine tools, all critical elements of the defense industrial base.
And Friedman? That free-trade doctrine is the exact doctrine that emptied these welding bays. It's the reason we could be 400,000 welders and electricians short.
Well, here's the bill and here's who's finally paying it. The War Department just put 10 million dollars into Mike Rowe's foundation to rebuild the skilled trades pipeline from the ground up, state-by-state, starting in Texas, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
There are 7 million open positions and a plan to fill them with Americans who can make things again. They call it, 'Build Freedom,' and that name tells you everything.
Levin calls Hamilton a socialist.
Vance calls Hamilton the future, and the Pentagon just put 10 million dollars into the future.
So, come back to that Air Force One leak, and come back to the question that the reporter asked the President after the Correspondent's Dinner attack, "Why you?"
And the answer lies here. The American System isn't just embraced by this administration; it's being acted on for the first time since William McKinley. That was 175 years ago.
Nobody watching this has been alive to see this system threaten the Empire on every front all at once.
Well, now it's back, named on the 4th of July, protected by tariffs and funded by the Pentagon. And at that exact moment, someone handed the New York Times classified information about the President's plane, and the Times ran it after the FBI asked them not to.
So, ask who benefits from that, and why are they more afraid now then they've ever been in a century.
Well, you now know the answer.
