Mike Steger, 13 September 2026



Mike Steger examines President Trump’s transformation of the Republican Party, John Fetterman’s appearance at the GOP midterm convention, and America’s attempt to escape decades of debt, globalization, and industrial decline.

Mike connects Trump’s investments in steel, energy, nuclear power, AI, and manufacturing with a larger economic revival. He then examines warnings from former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon, Dario Amodei’s call to slow frontier AI development, Effective Altruism, and proposed federal restrictions on advanced AI.

Mike argues that the real battle is over who will control artificial intelligence—and whether it will support American industry and human creativity or become concentrated within government and a few powerful institutions.

It cites rising nationalist politics across Europe and argues Labour is betraying Brexit through EU alignment and net-zero policies, while Trump warns the UK faces bankruptcy if it keeps North Sea oil “untouched.” The episode then focuses on Canada’s Mark Carney, highlighting a Canada–Ukraine “100-year partnership,” support for Ukraine’s NATO path, plans to ramp up drone production despite limited inventory, and reported exploration of EU associate membership alongside new infrastructure meant to bypass U.S. tech and energy ties. It also claims European rate hikes, bond-market “noise,” and diesel refinery strikes are used to fuel anti-Trump economic pressure, while Trump’s advantage is cooperation with Xi and Modi to prevent war and stabilize finance.
