What the 14-point MOU actually says — Hormuz reopens, sanctions waived, the oil flows — and why Barbara and Susan call the “capitulation” panic a weapon aimed at you and the midterms. Plus the Kevin Warsh Fed bombshells and what comes after Iran.
On June 20, 2026 by Promethian Action
Last night, over a cleared dinner table at Versailles, President Trump did the thing the entire foreign-policy establishment swore was impossible: he signed a deal to end the war with Iran.
What he signed is a 14-point Memorandum of Understanding with Iranian President Pezeshkian — not the final treaty, but a preliminary framework that starts a 60-day clock. Inside 30 days the U.S. naval blockade lifts and Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz; sanctions are waived so Iranian oil flows back into the open market; and a $300 billion reconstruction fund goes on the table — funded by the Gulf states, as Barbara put it, “none of it coming from us.”
And the venue was the message. Trump skipped the expected signing in Switzerland, accepted Macron’s invitation to dinner, and put his name on the page at Versailles — the palace where, in 1783, the Treaty of Paris formalized American independence.
There’s a new sheriff in town — and that sheriff is Donald Trump. And he’s playing by different rules.
— Susan Kokinda
Within minutes, the grifters were screaming capitulation — he gave Iran everything, no ironclad nuclear guarantees, a $300 billion slush fund. Barbara’s answer on air was blunt: it’s all performance-based, and the target of the panic was never Iran.
Ask yourself who’s the target here. It’s you — for the midterms.
— Barbara Boyd
Because the war abroad is now ending on Trump’s terms — a signing ceremony, not a quagmire — the empire’s last front is here at home: the lawfare, the media panic, and the vote-fraud machine. That’s what the second half of this show was really about.
REPLAY — Thursday, June 18th
Barbara Boyd and Susan Kokinda joined Adam at the desk this week.
Here’s what we covered (links jump to that moment in the broadcast):
- The Deal, Signed at Versailles Adam opens with the Trump clip from the Versailles presser and walks straight into the leaked MOU — only 14 paragraphs, and the whole new world order is in them.
- Reading the MOU: Sovereignty, Not Conquest Barbara on the foundation of Trump’s national-security doctrine: every nation a sovereign, not a globalist asset. We were never there to conquer Iran or lecture it — we were there to end an imperial machine.
- The Lebanon Clause Susan on why Lebanon is named in the text: once the model of Christians, Muslims, and Jews living together — and a prime target of British imperial divide-and-rule. Trump’s framing turns it back into the example.
- Hormuz, Oman, and the End of the “Terror Premium” Paragraph 5: Iran and Oman to discuss the Strait. Barbara dismantles the “Iran will charge tolls” panic — international law forbids it. Susan: Iran stops being the hand grenade the empire used to impose the price-fixing terror premium.
- The $300 Billion Fund — “None of It Comes From Us” Barbara on the clause lighting up the chat: the reconstruction money comes from the Gulf states, on condition of behavior — not a gift, a performance contract. “Finish the job” means bombing 70 million people into a failed state. That’s the Iraq trap, and Trump refused it.
- Paragraphs 7–10: No Nukes, Oil Flows, and Why Trump Won’t “Finish the Job” Iran reaffirms no nuclear weapons; Treasury waivers kick in the moment the MOU is signed. Barbara: we have their dark-money financial networks “by the neck,” India/China/Russia are all in on the deal, and taking Kharg Island would mean boots on the ground — which Trump has no intention of doing.
- “The Grifters Are on Overdrive” Ben Dykes’ super chat: when the usual suspects all hate the deal, you know you’re doing something right. Susan: every criticism comes from the old world of permanent religious warfare — and Trump is executing a new one.
- Why Versailles? The Symbolism Susan on Trump choosing to fly to Paris for the dinner and sign there — the same Versailles where the American Revolution was formalized. The symbolism, she says, was made explicit, and it should not be missed.
- “Did Trump Capitulate?” — Answering the Skeptics A batch of reader questions (Keith, Claire, Mary, Lori) all convinced Trump gave away the store. Barbara’s full answer: it’s all based on performance, Netanyahu over-promised a leveled Iran, and the propaganda has one target — you, and your vote in the midterms.
- Severing the Intel Agencies From British Interests Danny Grand’s super chat on Trump’s advisors. Barbara on the deep-state apparatus trained to defend British strategic interests, Radcliffe’s CIA, the Russiagate cleanup, and why the midterms decide how it ends.
- Did Trump Sabotage Canada to Install Carney? “Definitely Not Obama” asks the contrarian question. Susan rejects the premise: Trump lets weak globalists defeat themselves. Europe is bankrupt, its leaders hated — and a friendly middle-power bloc is the real play.
- How Russia and China Helped Settle Iran From the email list. Susan: Trump asked Xi directly not to arm Iran — and they didn’t. Barbara: most of it ran back-channel, the IRGC didn’t get the backing it expected, and remember — an MOU is only an MOU, the first step, not the final agreement.
- The Kevin Warsh Fed Bombshells — Growth, Not Austerity Susan pivots to the real domestic story and plays the Warsh clips: no more “cruel choice” between growth and inflation, an end to forward-guidance hand-holding, and the productivity doctrine that has the City of London’s hair on fire.
- Beating the Cheat — The Save America Act and the Midterms Jim asks how to stop the cheating. Barbara: the Save America Act, the California fraud prosecutions, and — bluntly — stop trusting the media, Fox News included, and listen to people actually telling you what the President is doing.
- On the Ground: The Bootcamp and the GOP Conventions Susan shows the proof: Promethean’s table at the North Carolina GOP convention was the single biggest breakout session, plus major interventions in Texas and Montana. The next Midterm Bootcamp is June 29th — sign up.
- Should You Trust a Trump Endorsement? The Lindsey Graham Lesson Scott, a South Carolina conservative, wrestles with backing Trump’s pick over his own. Barbara: it’s about leverage — Graham chairs the Budget Committee, trashed the MOU one day and pledged loyalty the next. Susan: ask Cornyn and Cassidy how that works.
- Will the 2020 Election Be Overturned? Marilyn’s perennial question. Barbara: not a court ruling restoring a term — but the vote-fraud apparatus itself put under loud indictment. That’s why the establishment is in a panic over Bill Pulte and Fulton County.
- Why Hasn’t Fauci Been Held Accountable? Cindy on COVID. Barbara: the Autopen pardon, the chief aide already indicted to spill the beans, and EcoHealth’s Peter Daszak. Accountability is coming — “you’re gonna see that shortly.”
- “Controlled Disintegration” and the CFR’s 1980s Project Paul comes in good faith with his cousin’s pushback on the Volcker quote. Susan turns it into the master key: Hamilton’s American System vs. the empire’s financialization — and the deliberate de-industrialization that, as Bessent says, can now be deliberately reversed. (Adam: yes, this was the Council on Foreign Relations’ 1980s Project.)
- Reshoring “The Firsts” — A Preview Cynthia on bringing industry home. Susan previews a new Promethean flyer: first time in 27 years out-producing Japan in steel, the first new aluminum smelter in 50 years, rare-earth magnets we no longer buy from China — and why robotics and real productivity create demand, not unemployment (see: Henry Ford’s River Rouge).
- The $3,000 Social Security “Rebate” — Hoax or Held Up in Congress? Shely’s sharp question. Barbara: that’s on Congress, and Trump can’t simply hand out money. Susan: the Supreme Court tariff ruling forced refunds first — and any “vote for this and get $3,000” pitch is a consultant scam, not Trump policy.
- After Iran: Ukraine, Cuba, Greenland, and the Golden Dome Johann asks what’s next. Susan: Ukraine is up next, Cuba’s been quietly cooking, and Greenland slots into the NATO/Golden Dome reckoning. Barbara: Venezuela, the cartels, and Trump’s “belly flop” school of negotiation.
- Ricardo, Malthus, and the British “Science” of Scarcity A viewer trained at the London School of Economics nails the hook: comparative advantage. Barbara: Ricardo, Malthus, Smith, and Bentham were British intelligence agents selling a doctrine of human limits. Susan: man is not an animal — wealth comes from the human mind, which is exactly why the empire fears the American System, and Trump.
- Closing — Versailles, the Treaty of Paris, and the Fourth of July Barbara closes on the Versailles symbolism and Trump’s habit of finding and honoring the highest achievement of every culture — against an empire that profits from keeping them at each other’s throats. Susan’s assignment: the Fourth is weeks away. Get the flyers. Organize.
From Versailles to the Fourth of July
Barbara left us with the deepest read of the night: the City of London stands for permanent conflict — keep the peoples of the world fighting so the empire can collect the premium. Everything Trump signed at Versailles is the opposite bet.
We find the highest, most deep achievement of any culture, and we celebrate it — because in almost every case it’s a triumph of the human mind.
— Barbara Boyd
And Susan gave us the homework. We’re only weeks from the Fourth of July. Get copies of the Promethean PAC flyers, take them to your Independence Day cookout, and start the conversation on your own block. The deal abroad is signed. The fight at home is the one we have to win — and the only way to win it is to organize.
