#799: The Economic Revolution Is Already Here with Susan Kokinda

— Manufacturing job growth and reindustrialization in the U.S. are beginning to show tangible results, with steel mills and construction projects creating thousands of jobs, though widespread adoption remains limited.

— The Trump administration is dismantling 125 years of British imperial policy by reversing free-trade regimes, pursuing bilateral foreign relations, and reasserting national sovereignty.

— Iran is being economically strangled through Operation Economic Outcast targeting IRGC-controlled sectors, with potential resolution expected after midterms.

— Europe and Canada face economic desperation due to failed globalist policies (free trade, green mandates) and may escalate conflicts as a last resort to save failing economies.

— China relations are being reset on nationalist principles rather than perpetual geopolitical rivalry; Trump recognizes alternative traditions in China beyond the CCP.

— Gen Z faces messaging challenges because they have never experienced a productive economy; Republicans must articulate pathways to skilled trades and manufacturing careers, not just oppose bad policies.

— Look beyond short-term "pain at the pump" and electoral polling; the fundamental economic restructuring (manufacturing jobs, wage growth, poverty decline) creates long-term value even if results feel slow or uneven.

— Younger generations skeptical of change should recognize that productive careers in skilled trades and manufacturing now offer real wealth-building alternatives to college debt and gig-economy scrambling.
