The Monday Brief – Why Trump Banned the Press (They Taught You Snow is Black) – September 21, 2026

Watch on Youtube

Susan Kokinda takes Trump’s removal of certain outlets from White House access—called censorship by the corporate press—and shows Bertrand Russell’s 1953 and 1931 blueprints for rule without armies: mass psychology locked to the governing class, dual-track education, and a lethal chamber for those who stir revolt. Diesel near $6 is traced to decades of green and free-trade zero growth, with Vance, Wright, and Oz on the record. Against the “snow is black” noise: fentanyl deaths down over 30%, overdoses down 14%, record-low poverty, record real median income, 414,000 moving part-time to full-time, and RFK Jr. on early CDC data reversing a thirty-year longevity decline.
