On the eve of Veterans Day, House Democrats and Rep. Thomas Massie tried to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and the House voted 211, 204 to send the resolution to committee. Susan Kokinda shows why they want him gone: as Secretary of State Marco Rubio put it in Paris, "We work for America. We don't work for the global order." Hegseth reminds us what that global order has cost: tens of thousands of Americans killed in Korea and Vietnam, and thousands more in the Middle East wars. Two former Secretaries of State, Mike Pompeo and Antony Blinken, shared a stage and offered only more war or the status quo on Iran. President Trump chose a third way: a blockade backed by the Gulf states, with the region's nations, like Saudi Arabia and Syria, starting to build their own security and rebuild.00:00 Midweek Update Intro01:37 We Don't Work for the Global Order04:38 The Body Count the Global Order Wants You to Forget08:09 The Trump AlternativeCreditsPhotos (public domain)- Rep.

Read Barbara Boyd's briefing, The Real Revolution: The British and the Communists Are Trying to Kill Again, at https://prom.ac/realrev. Right after Stephen Miller was named White House Chief of Staff, the Daily Beast called him "Deputy President Joseph Goebbels." Barbara Boyd, who spent years studying how Hitler came to power, turns the charge around: the Democrats and their media allies are the ones running Goebbels' playbook. She tells the story the younger generations have never been told: who financed and supported Hitler, how the Reichstag fire and the Nazi plebiscites built a dictatorship with a veneer of legality, and the propaganda principles Hitler and Goebbels learned from British methods in World War I. Then she explains why she believes the midterms were lost when Charlie Kirk was assassinated, and why the Ark President Trump is building, and Stephen Miller's mindset, will decide whether this Republic lives or dies.00:00 Monday Brief Intro01:55 Who Supported Hitler05:06 How Did Fascists Govern?07:54 What Is the Ark Trump Is BuildingCreditsPhotos and pictures (public domain unless noted)- Joseph Goebbels speaks in the Lustgarten, Berlin, May 1, 1933: Narodowe Archiwum Cyfrowe (Polish National Digital Archives)- Edward Hicks, Noah's Ark, 1846: Philadelphia Museum of Art (CC0)- British soldiers in a captured German trench, the Somme, July 1916: Imperial War Museums (Q 3990)- "In a Berlin Bank," 1923: Bain News Service, Library of Congress- William Orpen, The Signing of Peace in the Hall of Mirrors, Versailles, 1919: Imperial War Museums- British recruiting posters, 1914, 1915: Library of Congress; "Britons: Kitchener Wants You" (Alfred Leete)- Hitler feeding fawns, Nazi propaganda photo, c. 1934: Heinrich Hoffmann (public domain in the United States)- The Reichstag fire, February 27, 1933: U.S. National Archives- January 6, 2021, the Senate wing of the U.S. Capitol: U.S. Capitol Police- The Federalist, Vol. I (New York, 1788): Library of Congress- Butler, Pennsylvania, rally grounds, July 13, 2024: Designism / Wikimedia Commons (CC0)- Charlie Kirk: Turning Point USA- Stephen Miller: The White HouseVideo- Stephen Miller at the Charlie Kirk memorial, September 21, 2025: Right Side Broadcasting Network- President Trump on 60 Minutes, November 8, 2026: CBS News- New York, April 2020; Los Angeles, November 2021; gas prices, March 2022: Voice of America- Drug seizures: U.S. Customs and Border ProtectionArticles, posts, books and documents shown: President Trump on Truth Social (November 6, 2026); The Daily Beast (David Rothkopf, November 6, 2026); Reuters via Daily Monitor (November 4, 2026); The Associated Press via The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (November 4, 2026); Statistisches Jahrbuch für das Deutsche Reich (1933); William Sargant, Battle for the Mind; Gerwin Strobl, The Germanic Isle (Cambridge University Press, 2000); Executive Intelligence Review (Jeffrey Steinberg, May 30, 2003; Special Report, September 2019; John Hoefle, March 20, 2009; Barbara Boyd, January 19, 2001); Benjamin Carter Hett, Burning the Reichstag (Oxford University Press, 2014); the Reichstag Fire Decree, February 28, 1933 (Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression, Vol. III); Victor Davis Hanson, The Counterrevolution (Basic Books, 2026); Arnold J.

After Tuesday's midterms, the media says Trumpism is finished. Susan Kokinda looks at the next chapters of the color revolution playbook, and at how President Trump is already positioned to outflank them. In his November 5 message, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth names the "sacred cows" his department tore down, while three impeachment resolutions, including one from Rep. Thomas Massie, target him. Senate Democrats, led by Ron Wyden, want to repeal the Canada tariffs and take the tariff power away from the President, just as October's jobs report shows 19,000 new manufacturing jobs. And at the Kennedy Space Center on November 6, President Trump laid out the other revolution: Artemis III, Americans back on the Moon, a nuclear-powered spacecraft for Mars, and a new U.S. Space Academy.00:00 Saturday Wrap-Up Intro01:33 Color Revolution: Chapter 105:24 Color Revolution: Chapter 209:51 The Other RevolutionCreditsPhotos (public domain unless noted)- Rep.
