´OLD ORDER DESTROYED ´(Kokinda, Krainer, Luongo) Feb 14, 2026. --59 min--
The Munich Security Conference has confirmed what we already knew: the Globalist order is collapsing. In this episode, I sit down with Susan Kokinda, Alex Krainer, and Tom Luongo to dissect the panic among the elite. We analyze the desperate narratives coming out of Munich and expose the reality the mainstream media refuses to cover.

Trouble IS, they don't think they are collapsing at all, they're doubling down.


Ursula and Sir Kier sound bright eyed and bushy tailed for a change.

Ursula and Starmer stunned with statements from Munich! Just listen to what they said about Ukraine
War & Politics 24 - 1 hour ago

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer suggested Russia had made a "huge strategic blunder" in its invasion of Ukraine, as he addressed the Munich Security Conference on Saturday. "Russian casualties number well over a million," Starmer said. President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's speech was “very reassuring” but noted that “in the administration, some have a harsher tone on these topics.” In her speech to the annual Munich Security Conference, she stressed that “Europe must become more independent,” including on defense.

Rubio delivers a wake-up call to Europe at the Munich Security Conference
Defense Now - 3 hours ago


Secretary of State Marco Rubio just delivered a massive reality check to European allies at the 2026 Munich Security Conference. While reassuring the world that the U.S. and Europe "belong together," Rubio made it clear that the broken status quo is officially over.

In a powerful and direct speech, Rubio slammed the United Nations for failing to solve global crises from Ukraine to the Middle East, called out the "climate cult," and demanded that European nations step up their own defense spending. The message from the Trump administration was undeniable: the U.S. is not abandoning its allies, but Europe can no longer rely on America to manage the West's "decline."

Sometimes in life you waste time! T.V. Host Bill Maher asked to have dinner with me through one of his friends, also a friend of mine, and I agreed. He came into the famed Oval Office much different than I thought he would be. He was extremely nervous, had ZERO confidence in himself and, to soothe his nerves, immediately, within seconds, asked for a “Vodka Tonic.” He said to me, “I’ve never felt like this before, I’m actually scared.” In one respect, it was somewhat endearing! Anyway, we had a great dinner, it was quick, easy, and he seemed to be a nice guy and, for his first show after our dinner, he was very respectful about our meeting — But with everything I have done in bringing our Country back from “OBLIVION,” why wouldn’t he be? But then I noticed his show started to devolve into the same old story — Very boring, ANTI TRUMP, no mention of the PERFECT Border, Lowest Crime in 125 years, the Mass Removal of Stone Cold Criminals, the 50,000 DOW, the 7,000 S&P (Both Highest Ever!), Least Number of Murders since 1900, Venezuela, “Midnight Hammer,” Soleimani DEAD, al-Baghdadi DEAD, Lowest Inflation in YEARS (1.2% for last three months!), the Rebuilding of our Military, Eight War Stoppages, and on, and on, and on! In any event, it was a total waste of time for me to have this jerk at the White House and last night, after explaining what a DISASTER Canadian “Leaders” are to deal with, how Canada has “ripped off” the United States for years on TRADE (But not anymore!), I jokingly stated in a TRUTH that, “The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup.” Well, he went on and on about the Hockey statement, like “What kind of a person would say such a foolish thing as this,” as though I were being serious when I said it. Fortunately, his Television Ratings are so low that nobody will learn about his various Fake News statements about me. He is no different than Kimmel, Fallon, or Colbert but, I must admit, slightly more talented! Anyway, Bill Maher is a highly overrated LIGHTWEIGHT, and Republicans should stop using him to show how the Left is coming over our way — Our Base, the Greatest of All Time, laughs at your weakness when you do it! Maher asked me if he could come back to the White House again and, with his friend, also asked to come to the wonderful White House Christmas Party, but he didn’t. Regardless, I’d much rather spend my time MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN than wasting it on him. Bill continues to suffer from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS!), and there is nothing that will ever be done to cure him of this very serious disease. Thank you for your attention to this minor matter! President DJT

Unbelievable. How many supporters does Trump have left? Looks like the MAGA movement is over, and it's sad, as even I was hoping that Trump would deliver on his 'no more wars' and 'release the Epstein files' promises.

The stakes were very high, so it's understandable that there's a few who won't/can't let go of their hopes about Trump just yet. I heard from some Trump followers recently, they're very disappointed. But they have an explanation for the silly/irrational/belligerent things that Trump often says: it's Trump's double behaving like that. It's not the real Trump himself.

If there is no national ID system and each state can have its own system with different rules, how can you have free and fair elections? And elections are used to choose a president and all the national lawmakers (Congress and Senate) in Washington.

Whether or not one is a citizen of the United States is determined nationally, and either (1) states can indicate on individual state ID's whether or not the holder is a citizen or not, and can require presenting an ID indicating national citizenship when voting in national elections, or (2) election roll officials can determine whether or not a person enrolling to be on the rolls as eligible to vote can determine from national records whether a person of that name, address, birth date, ... is a known, living, citizen.

"can" ... not uniformly done so ... this may be changing soon.

🇺🇸 Senior U.S. Sanctions Official to Step Down Amid Treasury Tensions

John Hurley, the Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, is preparing to leave his role after reported disagreements with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent over the direction of U.S. sanctions policy. The reported friction comes after months of internal debate within the Treasury about sanctions tactics and objectives. Sources familiar with the matter say officials are discussing potential ambassadorial appointments for Hurley as part of his transition.

Hurley’s departure comes amidst ongoing shifts among senior Treasury leadership, and at a time when sanctions against countries such as Venezuela, Iran, and Russia remain central to U.S. foreign policy strategy and global economic considerations.

I was one of Trumps biggest supporters. I defended him through everything. Media attacks, investigations, indictments, nonstop chaos.

I stuck by him because I believed he was different. I believed he was going to drain the swamp. I believed he was going to expose the corruption. I believed he was going to take down the people hurting children. That was the whole point. He campaigned on cleaning house. On exposing elite criminals. On protecting kids. And I bought it. Fully.

So when I watched him talk about the Epstein files a couple days ago, with my own eyes and say, “It’s time to move on. We have better things to worry about,” that was the moment everything switched. Move on? Move on from children being trafficked? Move on from powerful people abusing minors? Move on from elites being protected? I can’t move on from that. I won’t.

The more I look into it, the more it feels like the same pattern. Protect the powerful. Coverup the truth, Shift focus. If you campaigned on exposing corruption and then dismiss the biggest corruption scandal involving minors in modern history, what conclusion am I supposed to draw? Either you’re in on it. You’re protecting someone. Or you never meant what you said. And that’s the betrayal. I’m not a Democrat. I’m not a liberal. I aligned more with Republicans because it matched my values more closely. But I’m done pretending there’s some moral high ground in either party. It’s not Republican versus Democrat. It’s not left versus right. It’s not red versus blue. It’s us versus them. They divide us with race baiting, culture wars, endless outrage cycles, while they protect their own, grow their wealth, and tighten control. Meanwhile, regular people fight each other over scraps. And I’m not playing that game anymore.

He didn’t just disappoint critics. He alienated the people who believed in him the most. I know I’m not the only one who saw that moment and felt the shift. So no, I’m not Republican. I’m not Democratic. I’m officially nothing. I’m never voting again. If this is how the system works, I’m not participating in it again. Your Attorney General said if they prosecuted everyone in the files, the system would collapse. Let it collapse, let it burn with all these sick ****s in it.

RIP MAGA.

Except that the Trump administration is NOT trying to end the war in Ukraine, and Rubio knows that very well. It's all theatre, to give the appearance that Trump is following up on his campaign promise that he'll end that war. (Just like he promised accountability for the Epstein case.) The Trump administration and European leaders are controlled by the same cabal.

Trump (and Rubio) is profiting from the continuation of the Ukraine war with sales of overpriced USA gas to Europe. The Trump administration is increasing sanctions on Russia. The Trump administration is providing direct military assistance to Ukraine, especially with satellite surveillance and guided missiles. For example, the December 2025 attack on Putin's residence was specifically done with USA military participation.

10:30 Trump's Counter-Attack — The American System in Action

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says at the Munich conference that deindustrialization was a deliberate, decades-long policy choice that stripped nations of wealth, productive capacity, and independence. ( Read and dependence on China) Susan Kokinda connects Rubio’s claim to a 1977 Council on Foreign Relations report calling for the “Controlled Disintegration” of the world economy, arguing it targeted the Hamiltonian American System and helped drive the hollowing out of U.S. manufacturing and current European industrial decline.

The episode highlights European reactions, including ECB head Christine Lagarde’s warning about geo-economic fragmentation and financial fragility, and Belgium’s prime minister citing a dramatic loss of chemical production capacity linked to decarbonization.

It then argues the Trump administration is reversing the model through tariffs, industrial policy, large-scale investment, support for critical sectors, and a renewed focus on physical economy and household incomes, citing speeches by Trade Ambassador Greer and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Examples include Energy Secretary Chris Wright’s announcement of deploying a next-generation nuclear reactor to Utah and White House advisor Peter Navarro attacking JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon amid a push to cut credit card rates from 20–30% to 10

It’s important that you understand what happened last night.

Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.

In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.

CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”

In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.

But censorship always backfires.

Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

Israel’s Gaza ‘ceasefire’ death toll tops 600
Airstrikes by the IDF have continued despite a US-backed truce, in force since October 2025

Thousands of Palestinians have been killed and wounded in Gaza since October, when a US-backed ceasefire was declared, as Israeli airstrikes have continued, local health officials say.

The truce, brokered as part of a plan backed by US President Donald Trump, was presented as a step toward reducing violence in Gaza and allowing reconstruction to begin. Both Israel and Hamas have since routinely accused each other of violating the agreement.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Monday that 603 people had been killed and more than 1,600 injured since the ceasefire came into force on October 11. An unspecified number of bodies “remain under the rubble and in the streets,” as rescue teams cannot safely reach many areas, the officials added.

Local media reported that Israeli forces killed at least ten Palestinians in airstrikes late on Saturday and into Sunday. One strike reportedly hit a tent sheltering displaced families west of Jabalia in northern Gaza.

The Israeli military said the “precise” strikes were carried out in accordance with international law and described them as a response to a “ceasefire violation” by Hamas. An Israeli official reportedly claimed that “terrorists emerged from a tunnel east of the yellow line,” referring to a military boundary unilaterally imposed inside Gaza after the truce.

Most post-ceasefire killings have reportedly occurred along this so-called ‘Yellow Line’, a designated no-go zone barring Palestinians from large areas of the enclave. Rights groups have condemned repeated Israeli operations there as truce violations, saying the cordon has expanded westward and now covers roughly 58% of Gaza’s land area.

The latest strikes come days before the inaugural meeting of Trump’s newly formed ‘Board of Peace’, scheduled for February 19. Established in mid-January, the US-led body is intended to oversee reconstruction, security, and political transition in Gaza.

Under the plan, day-to-day governance in Gaza is to be handed to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), a 15-member Palestinian technocratic body that would operate under the authority of the Board of Peace. Trump has described the board as a quasi-alternative to the UN with intended influence “far beyond” the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Hamas has said it is ready to hand over governance to the NCAG but will only disarm if Israeli forces fully withdraw from Gaza.

Trump named himself chairman of the Board of Peace and invited dozens of foreign leaders to join. Israel has reportedly accepted the invitation, while several European states – including France, Germany, Italy, Sweden and the UK – have declined. Russia has confirmed it received an invitation and said it is studying the proposal. Permanent membership beyond an initial three-year period will reportedly require a contribution of $1 billion.

Trump said that members of the Board of Peace have pledged “thousands of personnel” and billions of dollars, describing the deployment as part of efforts to maintain “security and peace” in Gaza.

The armistice paused a conflict which began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas militants attacked Israel, killing around 1,200 people and taking more than 250 hostage. West Jerusalem responded with a blockade and a military operation in Gaza, which has killed over 72,000 Palestinians, according to the enclave’s health officials.
