In an episode released in January 2025, Senior Editor Kanishk Tharoor spoke with the political economist Nicholas Eberstadt about the global crash in fertility rates and the looming prospect of depopulation. Over the past century, the world's population has exploded—surging from around one and a half billion people in 1900 to roughly eight billion today. But according to Eberstadt, that chapter of human history is over, and a new era, which he calls the age of depopulation, has begun. That subject has become even more prevalent in the past year. The United States, for example, recorded its lowest ever birthrate in 2024. Eberstadt is the Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy at the American Enterprise Institute and has written extensively on demographics, economic development, and international security. In a 2024 essay for Foreign Affairs, Eberstadt argued that plummeting fertility rates everywhere from the United States and Europe to India and China point to a new demographic order—one that will transform societies, economies, and geopolitics.

New inflation figures showed signs that President Trump’s tariffs are starting to have an impact on consumer prices. Overall inflation held steady, but core inflation, which is closely watched by the Fed and does not include volatile food and energy prices, ticked up. Amna Nawaz discussed tariffs and inflation with Michael Strain of the American Enterprise Institute. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order slapping India with a 25 percent special tariff due to its purchases of Russian oil. This surprise measure raised the total tariff on Indian exports to the United States to 50 percent—among the highest rates imposed by the United States on any country in the world.But India is not just “any country.” Over the last quarter-century, it has emerged as one of America's most valuable strategic partners. Trump's tariff move has plunged the bilateral relationship into crisis, raising difficult questions about the future of both U.S. and Indian foreign policy.Grand Tamasha emerged from its summer hiatus for an emergency episode to make sense of these developments and their global ramifications. For this special episode, Milan is joined by Grand Tamasha regulars, Sadanand Dhume of the American Enterprise Institute and the Wall Street Journal and Tanvi Madan of the Brookings Institution.The trio discuss the drivers behind Trump's decision, India's response to the crisis, and the future of India's policy of “multi-alignment.” Plus, the two discuss the U.S. government's 180-degree turn on Pakistan and the prospects for an amicable resolution of the U.S.-India trade spat by summer's end.Episode notes:1.

Since taking office on January 20, 2025, President Trump has emphasized deregulation. Deregulatory efforts have focused both on undoing Biden-era policies in areas of interest (environmental regulation, SOGI issues, immigration, etc.) and on a broader effort to limit the scope of administrative power more broadly. In light of these strong changes, this panel will discuss the history of deregulation efforts in the Executive Branch, how those compare to the deregulatory efforts of the Trump Administration, and what these changes may mean both practically and more institutionally for the future of the Administrative State.Featuring:Prof. Bridget C.E.

On Friday 1st August the US Bureau of Labor Statistics put out their job report data for August. It included revisions to their estimates for the jobs created in May and June which stated there were 258,000 fewer jobs than they had previously estimated. This news was not received well by the White House. President Trump fired the head of the bureau, Erika McEntarfer, calling the numbers ‘phony, rigged, a scam' and spreading conspiracy theories that McEntarfer had fudged the data. We speak to economist Michael Strain from the American Enterprise Institute, to understand why the revisions happened and the potential consequences of throwing doubt on one of the US's most important statistical agencies.

Kicking off our annual What the Hell's summer book series, Zach Cooper discusses his new book, Tides of Fortune: The Rise and Decline of Great Militaries (Yale University Press, 2025). How will the United States and China evolve militarily in the years ahead? Many experts believe the answer to this question is largely unknowable. But in his book, Zack Cooper argues that the American and Chinese militaries are following a well-trodden path. For centuries, the world's most powerful militaries have adhered to a remarkably consistent pattern of behavior, determined largely by their leaders' perceptions of relative power shifts. WTH is China on this path? And importantly, WTH is the US?Zack Cooper is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where he studies US strategy in Asia, including alliance dynamics and US-China competition. He also teaches at Princeton University and serves as chair of the board of the Open Technology Fund. Before joining AEI, Dr. Cooper was the senior fellow for Asian security at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss President Trump's claim that he was debanked by major New York financial institutions due to pressure from Biden-era bank regulators. They also talk about crime in the nation's capital which has led Trump to threaten a possible federal takeover of Washington, DC. Then, they discuss President Trump's statement yesterday that he considers Vice President J.D. Vance the heir apparent to the MAGA movement. And, they chat about the expanding battle over redistricting as more states threaten to change their congressional maps in response to Texas. Then finally, they talk about Glenn Kessler, the Washington Post editor who has written “The Fact Checker” column since 2011 and his new piece for Substack about his decision to take a buy-out and leave the paper. And winding it up, Andrew talks with historian Jay Cost of the American Enterprise Institute about why Congress takes the summer off and whether members will continue to hold town halls in their districts.

In this episode of The Data Malarkey Podcast, host and Master Data Storyteller, Sam Knowles, is joined by Christine Rosen, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and author of the 2025 book, The Extinction of Experience. They dig into what happens when real-world, face-to-face experiences are replaced by screens and algorithms. Christine shares her unique journey from a bassoon scholarship to intellectual thought leadership, how teaching aikido shapes her thinking, and how she sees technology reshaping human behavior - for better and worse. With insight, wit, and depth, Christine challenges us to reconsider what we lose when digital convenience becomes the norm.

Has artificial intelligence advanced to the point where robots possess creative abilities and impulses? If so, or if that moment comes, what could it mean for humanity, and what would it demand of us? These are questions at the cutting edge of innovation. Yet to best address them, we need to look to the deepest roots of our society's moral wisdom.Guest Michael Rosen joins us to discuss how Jewish tradition and legend can inform our approach to technology. Michael Rosen is an attorney and writer in Israel, a non-resident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and author of Like Silicon from Clay: What Ancient Jewish Wisdom Can Teach Us about AI.This podcast discusses themes from Michael's essay, which was adapted from his book for the Summer 2025 issue of National Affairs: “Ancient Wisdom, Modern Tools.”

Er is een nieuw handelsakkoord tussen de VS en de EU rondom de handelstarieven. De handel tussen de EU en Amerika vormt maar liefst 30 procent van de wereldhandel, dus deze deal gaat over veel geld.

In this episode, hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso welcome back Zack Cooper, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and professor at Princeton University, to examine how recent U.S. military strikes in Iran impact deterrence dynamics across the Indo-Pacific region.Iran Strikes and China DeterrenceCooper argues that U.S. strikes against Iran may actually strengthen deterrence against China by demonstrating American unpredictability. Chinese officials had reportedly viewed Trump as a "paper tiger" following trade negotiations, but the Iran strikes have forced Beijing to recalculate its assumptions about U.S. willingness to use force in a Taiwan crisis.Alliance Management Under PressureThe conversation explores growing tensions in U.S. Indo-Pacific alliances as the Trump administration links trade negotiations to security commitments. Cooper expresses concern that threatened tariffs and demands for increased defense spending could undermine alliance relationships, particularly with South Korea, Japan, and Australia.Nuclear Proliferation ConcernsThe panel discusses alarming implications for nuclear proliferation in the Indo-Pacific, with Cooper warning that recent events may accelerate desires for independent nuclear capabilities among regional allies. The setback to Iran's nuclear program paradoxically demonstrates both the risks and benefits of pursuing nuclear weapons.Regional Defense ArchitectureCooper critically examines Eli Ratner's proposal for an Indo-Pacific defense pact (the "Squad" - U.S., Japan, Australia, Philippines), arguing that formal defense agreements may be premature given current political realities in allied capitals. He suggests focusing on operational cooperation and interoperability instead.India-Pakistan LessonsThe recent India-Pakistan border conflict provides valuable insights for Indo-Pacific military planning, with Cooper noting that Indian air operations were largely successful despite Pakistani use of Chinese-supplied air defense systems.Information Warfare ChallengesAs chairman of the Open Technology Fund, Cooper discusses ongoing efforts to maintain internet freedom tools like Signal and VPN access in authoritarian countries, despite Trump administration attempts to shut down U.S. Agency for Global Media operations.Strategic ImplicationsCooper emphasizes that while Middle East conflicts may seem distant from Indo-Pacific concerns, they fundamentally shape how regional powers assess American resolve and commitment. The unpredictability doctrine may serve deterrence purposes, but creates significant challenges for alliance management and strategic planning.

Tensions in the Indo-Pacific are testing US power and alliances. What does this mean for regional strategy and for the UK? In this episode of Global Security Briefing, host Neil Melvin is joined by Dr. Kori Schake, senior fellow and the director of foreign and defence policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, and Dr Philip Shetler-Jones, senior research fellow, RUSI, to examine whether the Trump administration has a coherent Indo-Pacific strategy or is simply reacting to China's growing influence. As Washington debates its role in Asia amid military overstretch, defence industrial challenges, and diverging views on alliance priorities, the UK faces key questions about its own Indo-Pacific tilt. With British carriers deploying to the region and AUKUS under scrutiny, this episode explores whether the US has the will and means to lead, how regional actors are responding, and what all this means for UK strategy in an era of intensifying great power competition.

The Republicans are investigating President Joe Biden's use of the autopen while in office. Although many presidents have used the autopen in the past, President Trump and others have expressed concerns about Biden's cognitive abilities and his awareness of the actions his administration was taking during his term. The former president defends his own use of the autopen, telling the New York Times that he always authorized its use. Marc Thiessen, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, provides insight into the ongoing investigation. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has proposed a federal ban on Chinese nationals and other foreign adversaries from purchasing American farmland. Agriculture Secretary Rollins called this a major national issue and said concerns still remain over the food processing plants and farms already acquired by the Chinese, which are situated near U.S. military bases. Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen joins the Rundown to discuss security threats posed by China's economic influence and why he believes Americans should reject Chinese-made products and support domestic goods instead.

US President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to impose a 30 percent tariff on imports from Mexico and the European Union starting on August first, as experts warn that trade disputes and policy shifts are putting the global economy under strain.美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周六威胁要从8月1日开始对来自墨西哥和欧盟的进口商品征收30%的关税，因为专家警告说，贸易争端和政策转变正在使全球经济面临压力。In an escalation of a trade war that has angered allies and rattled investors, Trump announced the latest tariffs in separate letters to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum that were posted on his Truth Social platform on Saturday.在一场激怒了盟友并让投资者感到不安的贸易战升级中，特朗普在周六发布在其Truth Social平台上的分别致欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩和墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·谢恩鲍姆的信中宣布了最新的关税。Both partners swiftly slammed the new duties, with the EU warning they could disrupt supply chains while Mexico branded them an "unfair deal".双方都迅速抨击了新关税，欧盟警告称，这些关税可能会扰乱供应链，而墨西哥则称其为“不公平协议”。French President Emmanuel Macron expressed "very strong disapproval" of the step and called on the EU to "resolutely defend European interests".法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙对这一举措表示“强烈反对”，并呼吁欧盟“坚决捍卫欧洲利益”。Trump sent similar letters to 23 other trading partners last week, including Canada, Japan and Brazil, setting blanket tariff rates ranging from 20 percent up to 50 percent, as well as a 50 percent tariff on copper.特朗普上周向包括加拿大、日本和巴西在内的其他23个贸易伙伴发出了类似的信函，设定了从20%到50%的一揽子关税税率，以及对铜征收50%的关税。The 30 percent rate was "separate from all sectoral tariffs", he said, indicating that 50 percent levies on steel and aluminum imports and a 25 percent tariff on auto imports would remain.他说，30%的税率“与所有行业关税分开”，表明对钢铁和铝进口征收50%的关税，对汽车进口征收25%的关税。Trump's letter to the EU included a demand that Europe drop its own tariffs. "The European Union will allow complete, open market access to the United States, with no tariff being charged to us, in an attempt to reduce the large trade deficit," he wrote.特朗普给欧盟的信中要求欧洲取消自己的关税。他写道：“欧盟将允许美国完全、开放的市场准入，不向我们征收关税，以减少巨额贸易逆差。”。Von der Leyen said the 30 percent tariffs "would disrupt essential trans-Atlantic supply chains, to the detriment of businesses, consumers and patients on both sides of the Atlantic".冯德莱恩表示，30%的关税“将扰乱重要的跨大西洋供应链，损害大西洋两岸的企业、消费者和患者”。She also said that while the EU will continue to work toward a trade agreement, it "will take all necessary steps to safeguard EU interests, including the adoption of proportionate countermeasures if required".她还表示，尽管欧盟将继续努力达成贸易协定，但“将采取一切必要措施维护欧盟利益，包括在必要时采取相称的反制措施”。The Mexican government said it had been informed of the new threat during talks in the US on Friday.墨西哥政府表示，周五在美国举行的会谈中已获悉这一新威胁。"We mentioned at the table that it was an unfair deal and that we did not agree," the Mexican economy and foreign ministries said in a joint statement.墨西哥经济部和外交部在一份联合声明中表示：“我们在会议上提到，这是一项不公平的协议，我们不同意。”。Steven Kamin, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and former Federal Reserve official, said these anti-trade policies of the Trump administration are dragging down US growth to 1.4 percent this year from 2.8 percent last year.美国企业研究所高级研究员、前美联储官员史蒂文·卡明表示，特朗普政府的这些反贸易政策正在将美国今年的经济增长率从去年的2.8%降至1.4%。"The Trump tariffs, which probably amount to about 15 percentage points higher than before Trump entered office, are a big contributor to the declining global growth,"“特朗普的关税可能比特朗普上任前高出约15个百分点，是全球经济增长下滑的一大原因。”Kamin said at a panel discussion hosted by the Washington-based Brookings Institution in partnership with the World Bank on Thursday.卡明周四在华盛顿布鲁金斯学会与世界银行联合主办的小组讨论会上说。He estimated the tariffs' direct hit at about 1 percent of US GDP but warned that retaliatory tariffs and falling investment could make things worse.他估计，关税的直接影响约为美国国内生产总值的1%，但警告说，报复性关税和投资下降可能会使情况变得更糟。The US economy has been holding up, he said. However, he raised concerns about Trump's protectionist approach, which has led to a 10 percent drop in the dollar's value this year. "It may reflect investor dismay with Trump's policies," Kamin said.他说，美国经济一直保持稳定。然而，他对特朗普的保护主义政策表示担忧，该政策导致今年美元贬值10%。“这可能反映了投资者对特朗普政策的失望，”卡明说。Ayhan Kose, deputy chief economist at the World Bank and a nonresident senior fellow at Brookings, introduced the main points from the World Bank's June 2025 Global Economic Prospects report, which says global growth is expected to drop to 2.3 percent this year, down 0.4 percentage points from January forecasts.世界银行副首席经济学家、布鲁金斯学会非居民高级研究员M.Ayhan Kose介绍了世界银行2025年6月《全球经济展望》报告的要点，该报告称，今年全球经济增长预计将降至2.3%，比1月份的预测低0.4个百分点。"There's much to cover, given the policy shifts, global deals, and unfolding developments," Kose said, noting that rising trade barriers, policy uncertainty, and financial market swings are driving the slowdown.Kose表示：“鉴于政策转变、全球交易和不断发展的事态，有很多事情要做。”他指出，贸易壁垒的增加、政策的不确定性和金融市场的波动正在推动经济放缓。Global trade growth is forecast to slide to 1.8 percent this year from last year's 3.4 percent, fueled by higher tariffs and uncertainty, he added.他补充道，在关税上调和不确定性的推动下，预计今年全球贸易增长率将从去年的3.4%降至1.8%。Debora Revoltella, chief economist at the European Investment Bank, said she saw a chance to shine despite global headwinds in Europe. She projected European growth at 1.5 percent this year, with tariffs trimming about 0.3 percent.欧洲投资银行首席经济学家Debora Revoltella表示，尽管欧洲面临全球逆风，但她看到了发光的机会。她预计今年欧洲经济增长率为1.5%，关税削减约0.3%。"I think at this moment, there is a strong sense of a unique opportunity for Europe after many years of lost opportunity," Revoltella said, pointing out that with a trade openness of 45 percent compared with 25 percent for the US, Europe is pushing trade deals with regions such as South America, India and Indonesia.Revoltella表示：“我认为，在多年失去机会之后，欧洲现在有一种强烈的独特机会感。”他指出，欧洲的贸易开放度为45%，而美国为25%，欧洲正在推动与南美、印度和印度尼西亚等地区的贸易协议。trade disputesn.贸易争端/treɪd dɪˈspjuːts/trade deficitn.贸易赤字/treɪd ˈdɛfɪsɪt/

This episode starts with a Very Special introduction in which I explain what's been going on with the podcast over the last six months (lots of different offerings, which possibly caused some confusion) and talk about the ongoing challenges of the subscriber model. (Short version, please stick around!) I then have the great pleasure of interviewing evolutionary biologist Dr. Carole Hooven, who's been a speaker at several Unspeakeasy events but never actually a guest on the podcast. As we approach the four-year anniversary of the publication of her book, T: The Story of Testosterone, the Hormone that Dominates and Divides Us, Carole recounts how a media appearance defending “male” and “female” as meaningful scientific categories led to unexpected controversy and her eventual departure from Harvard, where she'd taught for many years. She talks about how ideological influence has made even basic scientific facts about sex contentious and cites the importance of precise use of language, especially on topics like sex differences and women's rights, which she feels have been muddied by cultural and political agendas. Most fascinatingly (to me, anyway), Carole argues that a predominantly female, progressive teaching culture favors girls' learning styles—while boys, wired differently by biology, are stigmatized and alienated. Meanwhile, it's become culturally verboten to even acknowledge men's intense sexual drives and emotional vulnerability, and she calls for a return to rites of passage that acknowledge male biology without shame. Finally, we talk about a recent controversy surrounding her husband, MIT philosophy professor Alex Byrne (who was a guest on the podcast back in March 2024), after he was invited to contribute to a U.S. Health and Human Services report on sex and gender. Although the team was politically diverse, Alex's name was leaked via PDF metadata, and he faced fierce criticism from activist students and colleagues. He responded with a Washington Post op-ed explaining his position. GUEST BIO Dr. Carole Hooven is a human evolutionary biologist, the author of T: The Story of Testosterone, the Hormone that Dominates and Divides Us, and a nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. HOUSEKEEPING

Elon Musk's embrace of President Trump and his campaign marked a pivotal moment in the 2024 presidential election. Musk was eventually appointed to head the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where he was tasked with cutting federal spending and reducing the national debt. DOGE moved quickly and decisively, triggering lawsuits and further enraging Trump's critics. Although Musk has since left the Trump administration and experienced a very public fallout with President Trump, DOGE continues to operate and make an impact. Matthew Continetti, Director of Domestic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, joined FOX News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss DOGE, highlighting where it was effective in cutting waste, fraud, and abuse, and where it fell short of the expectations set by Musk and the administration. Continetti, who is featured in FOX Nation's new documentary "DOGE vs. DC," also weighs in on the public spat between Musk and the President, as well as the challenges politicians face when addressing America's debt seriously. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.

Elon Musk's embrace of President Trump and his campaign marked a pivotal moment in the 2024 presidential election, ultimately leading to Musk's appointment as the head of the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Parents are spending more time with their kids than in the past, and yet kids are less happy and less healthy. Given that the population of children is shrinking at an alarming rate, we need to figure out what is going on. Could it be that our culture is making raising kids harder than it needs to be? That is the suggestion of our guest today, Tim Carney, parent of six kids, and the author of Family Unfriendly. Timothy Carney is a father of six children, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and a columnist for the Washington Examiner. He is also the author of Alienated America: The Big Ripoff. ==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.

The Trump Administration's 2026 budget for the U.S. Space Force, counting the Big Beautiful Bill's funding, comes to about $40 billion dollars. Does this unorthodox, difficult to follow, bifurcated legislative process make this bump “ a one-time sugar high?” Laura Winter speaks with Todd Harrison, Senior Fellow, American Enterprise Institute, and much respected NASA and Defense Department budget diviner; and Sam Wilson, Director, Strategy and Program Support, Center for Space Policy and Strategy, at The Aerospace Corporation.

This week, America celebrates 249 years of independence. As the countdown begins to our 250th birthday, our semiquincentennial, it is natural to ask what citizenship means to us as Americans, and as American Jews. How do we fulfill our obligations not just to preserve what we've inherited, but to renew it for future generations? These aren't just political questions—they're moral ones, rooted in how we understand our responsibilities to one another and to the institutions that shape our common life.  To address those questions, this week's podcast is going to do something a little different. Rather than host a conversation, we bring you a speech by one of the great teachers of American civics: Yuval Levin, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and the editor of National Affairs. Speaking at the 2024 Jewish Leadership Conference, Levin offered a meditation on what we can learn from the biblical figure of Nehemiah—drawing on the story the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls to understand how we must approach the renewal of American culture today. His central insight is striking: just as Nehemiah's workers rebuilt Jerusalem with “a trowel in one hand and a sword in the other,” we too must simultaneously rebuild and defend our institutions. This is a speech that bridges ancient biblical wisdom to the challenges of American society, showing how the Hebrew Bible speaks directly to our moment of cultural dissolution and the opportunity for renewal. If you're inspired by this kind of discussion—the intersection of Jewish ideas and public life—you might want to consider attending this year's Jewish Leadership Conference, featuring Herzl Prize laureates Ben Shapiro, Bari Weiss, and Dan Senor. You can find information about the 2025 conference at www.jewishleadershipconference.org.

For Independence Day, we are running an episode of particular relevance from our archives. Could the Constitution provide the antidote to polarization? Yuval Levin thinks so. The director of social, cultural, and constitutional studies at the American Enterprise Institute, Levin is the author of a new book titled American Covenant. In it, and during this episode, Levin identifies the reasons people feel as though America is at a breaking point, as well as meaningful opportunities for reuniting. He and Moore consider why fragmentation is happening, the naiveté of cynicism, and ways the party system has—and hasn't—worked well for the United States. They discuss partisanship, the potential upsides of ranked-choice voting in primaries, and the importance of seeing one another not primarily as political beings but as human beings.

It's the “Summer of Love” 2.0 — it could get a lot worse, if the terrorists aren't subdued and brought to justice. Also, the Elon vs. Trump feud seems to have died down after just a day or two. But, I have a few thoughts on the subject. And Simone Biles launches a vicious attack against Riley Gaines on behalf of men who want to play women's sports.

Newt talks with Gerard Robinson, a professor of practice at the Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy at the University of Virginia, about his recent article on how World War II influenced prison policy. Their conversation explores Robinson's experiences mentoring youth in the juvenile justice system and teaching fifth grade, which shaped his views on criminal justice reform. They discuss the impact of high suspension rates on future incarceration, the importance of education in reducing recidivism, and innovative programs like Texas's Prison Entrepreneurship Program. Robinson shares insights from international prison visits, highlighting Norway's principle of normality and its potential application in the U.S. Their discussion also covers historical treatment of prisoners of war in the U.S. compared to Japanese Americans during WWII, and the implications of the 1871 Virginia Supreme Court ruling on prisoners as "slaves of the state." Robinson's work and publications are available through the University of Virginia and the American Enterprise Institute.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
