In this American Power Extra, Matt Randolph takes on the idea that a $5,000 check should be enough to buy political loyalty. He explains why desperately needed financial relief is no substitute for real policy, accountability or leadership, and why no amount of money should be enough to make Americans abandon their principles.

This week on American Power, Nat Towsen, Chad Scott and Matt Randolph are joined by Omer Bartov, Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University, to examine Israel’s actions in Gaza and why Bartov believes they meet the definition of genocide. A former IDF officer who initially resisted using the term, Bartov explains what changed his mind, why he believes the destruction goes beyond defeating Hamas, and whether the genocide is continuing today.

The conversation also explores America’s role in enabling Israel, the environmental devastation of Gaza, the line between criticism of Israel and antisemitism, and what it would take for Israel to reckon with what has happened and build a different future.

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.

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.

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?

This week on American Power, Nat Towsen, Nat Towsen, Chad Scott and Matt Randolph unpack how Trump’s escalating trade fight with Canada could have consequences far beyond tariffs. Mr. Global and Chad break down how deeply the U.S. and Canadian economies are connected, why Canada may be positioned to fight back, and what the dispute means for American consumers and U.S. power abroad. Plus, America has crossed $40 trillion in national debt. How worried should we actually be?

Everyone gets the China-Russia relationship wrong. One camp sees a unified anti-American alliance. The other sees a fragile marriage of convenience destined to collapse. A major two-year study from the Center for European Policy Analysis argues that both views miss what makes the partnership dangerous.

In this episode of American Power, we break down what the relationship between Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin actually looks like, why China holds most of the leverage, and why the biggest threat to the United States is not a combined Chinese-Russian military. It is the growing coordination of supply chains, financial networks, information warfare, sanctions evasion, and strategic pressure designed to stretch American attention across multiple regions at once.

We examine how China went from supplying roughly 3% of Russia’s imports in 2000 to more than a third by 2023, why China now provides an estimated 70–90% of the critical components Russia needs to sustain its war machine, and why Beijing appears determined to keep Moscow alive without allowing Russia to become economically independent.

We also explore the idea of China and Russia engaging in “parallel play” rather than operating as a true military alliance, the warning signs that would indicate that relationship is hardening, and the broader network connecting China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

Nat Towsen, Chad Scott and Matt Randolph unpack the crisis aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and what it reveals about military leadership, morale and America’s ability to project power around the world. Plus, why dwindling diesel inventories and uncertainty around the Strategic Petroleum Reserve could create the next major economic headache.

America built its healthcare system around the promise of rugged individualism: work hard, take responsibility, and take care of yourself. But illness does not care how responsible you are.

In this American Power Extra, the hosts examine what happens when a fundamentally collective problem is treated as a personal burden. The United States spends more than twice as much per person on healthcare as many peer nations, yet Americans live shorter lives, millions remain uninsured or underinsured, and medical debt continues to push families toward financial ruin.

This week on American Power, Nat Towsen, Chad Scott, and Matt Randolph explore how oil has become one of the world's most effective geopolitical weapons. They unpack new reporting that suggests hundreds of millions of barrels of oil may have gone unreported in global inventories, and what that could mean for energy markets.

The conversation also examines how countries weaponize energy through sanctions, shipping lanes, pipelines, and what true energy independence could mean for America's future.

This week on American Power, host Nat Towsen is joined by military analyst Chad Scott and energy expert Matt Randolph to examine two stories with major implications for American power. First, they break down the growing concerns over U.S. munitions stockpiles, why Patriot and THAAD missile shortages matter, and how countries like Iran, China, and Russia may be adapting their strategies to exploit America's political and military vulnerabilities.

Then, the conversation turns to the global energy market, where Chad and Matt trace a series of dramatic oil price swings tied to announcements about the Iran conflict. They explore allegations of market manipulation, why geopolitical messaging can move billions of dollars in minutes, and what happens when war, energy, and financial markets become deeply intertwined.
