4 SEP 2026 · In this American Power Extra, Chad Scott breaks down the contradictions at the heart of Donald Trump’s “America First” foreign policy. From fighting a war with Iran while depleting weapons meant to deter China to demanding allies become more self-reliant while undermining those same alliances, Chad examines how Trump’s unpredictability is reshaping American power and giving adversaries more opportunities to test its limits.

3 SEP 2026 · Bryan and Luke remember Dolly Parton and wonder how so many people can celebrate her kindness while rejecting the values she actually lived by. Then, the dildo of consequences comes knocking: Milo Yiannopoulos gets a firsthand taste of the immigration system he championed, rural America embraces mass surveillance in the name of “freedom,” and farmers face the fallout of policies many of them voted for. Plus: AI data centers, Flock cameras, Trump’s beef plan, the devastating human cost of his immigration crackdown, cops shooting a miniature donkey, and the hypocrisy of calling yourself a Christian while looking away from cruelty.

2 SEP 2026 · This week on American Power, Nat Towsen, Chad Scott and Matt Randolph dig into Trump’s Venezuela oil deal, from questions about the country’s massive reported reserves and whether its heavy crude can actually refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to the enormous investment required to develop new production. They also examine whether the deal is really about countering China and why Venezuela’s history of nationalizing foreign oil investments could leave American companies and taxpayers holding the bag. Then, as fighting with Iran escalates again, they examine dwindling U.S. munitions, the Strait of Hormuz, and whether America still has a viable path to victory.

28 AUG 2026 · In this American Power Extra, Matt Randolph breaks down the growing divide between America’s “ownership economy” and its “paycheck economy.” While stocks soar and billions pour into AI, data centers, and technology, millions of Americans are struggling with rising housing costs, household debt, groceries, energy prices, and increasingly expensive credit.
Matt explains why GDP and Wall Street gains can tell a very different story from the one Americans experience at the grocery store and why the real question is: Who is the economy actually working for?
