## Resource

In this episode of El Niño Speaks, I sit down with political analyst Keith Preston to unpack how America First’s original non-interventionist and paleoconservative impulse is being absorbed, rebranded, and redirected by neoconservative and pro-Israel power networks. Keith traces the donor and elite realignment behind Trump’s second term, from BlackRock style finance to tech oligarchs and ultra-Zionist billionaires, and explains how populist energy gets converted into controlled opposition. We also get into the deeper architecture behind the new Right, from multipolar geopolitics paired with financial unipolarity, to Greater Israel ambitions and the push to expand Zionist influence across Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Then we close with Keith’s forecast for 2026, including the midterms, economic narrative warfare, and the conditions that could trigger a major political backlash. Listen now to hear how the neoconservative movement is hijacking the populist Right.
