A.M. Edition for June 27. The White House says the U.S. and China have signed a trade deal struck last month, with China agreeing to speed up delivery of rare-earth minerals. WSJ reporter Kim Mackrael says a trade deal with the EU is also taking shape, and could see the bloc lower tariffs on U.S. imports in order to woo President Trump. And Rachel Wolfe explains why a pullback in spending by young Americans is making some retailers nervous. Luke Vargas hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.

Faulty Intel Sparks Firestorm Over Iran Strike Assessment A leaked report suggesting Trump's Iran strike was ineffective relied on faulty signals intelligence. Iranian officials intentionally fed disinformation via tapped calls, misleading DIA analysts. Israeli sources confirm the operation's major success. Bryan calls for top DIA officials to be fired and their Iran shop frozen. Tariff Revenue Surges to Record Levels President Trump's tariff policies are paying off with $26.7 billion collected in June so far. Analysts say this could reduce the U.S. deficit by nearly $3 trillion over the next decade without driving inflation. GE Appliances and Liberty Phone Signal Manufacturing Comeback China-owned GE Appliances will move washing machine production to Kentucky, creating 800 jobs. Meanwhile, debate swirls over whether the Trump family's $500 “Made in USA” phone can actually be built domestically. Liberty Phone shows it's possible—just not fancy. Reshoring Cars Faces Hurdles Ford and GM are reshoring car production, but profits and supply chain challenges remain. Mexico's cheaper labor still makes foreign-made cars more profitable. Tariff clarity from the White House is needed to accelerate change. China Prioritizes Europe for Rare Earth Exports, Snubs U.S. Despite promises, China continues restricting rare earth exports to American companies while increasing shipments to Europe. Trump's team may have struck a new deal earlier this week, but details are unclear. Billionaire-Backed Lawyers Block U.S. Mining Projects Democrat donors like Michael Bloomberg are funding “green fellows” to infiltrate state regulatory boards, slowing or halting traditional mining and energy projects while promoting green energy. Economic Signals: Durable Goods Up, Federal Contractors Down Durable goods orders posted the biggest gain in 11 years. But recurring jobless claims rose and federal contractor hiring is plummeting due to Trump's deep spending cuts. Trump Ends Race-Based Federal Contracts Following a court order, the Trump administration eliminated affirmative action in highway and transit funding. Activist groups object, but the administration says it's enforcing the Constitution. New Deportation Strategy Targets Third Countries Migrants can now be deported to countries that aren't their homeland. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, linked to violent crimes, may be sent to South Sudan.

In this episode, I'm sitting down again with Kyle Bass, founder and chief investment officer of Hayman Capital Management and founding member of the Committee on the Present Danger: China, to get an update on how China's economy is faring since our last interview five months ago.“There's nothing that's going to bail China out of their economic spiral. They're having a real estate crisis, a banking crisis, a youth unemployment crisis, and now they need to be worried about their current account,” Bass says.How have the Trump administration's policies and recent events affected China and its economy?And how do the U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear sites impact the Chinese regime's ambitions in Taiwan? How likely is a kinetic war?Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
Tariffs on Chinese goods in 2018 and 2019 led to a surge in Mexican exports to the U.S. and created new job opportunities, particularly benefiting traditionally disadvantaged groups in Mexico's workforce through "trade diversion effects".

In 2024, BloombergNEF predicted electric vehicles would make up nearly half of U.S. new car sales by 2030. Now, they've revised their projection down to less than 30%, just one year later. In a time when we need to be speeding up the energy transition, EV sales in the U.S. are stagnating. Sales of Teslas, once the king of electric vehicles, are collapsing. What's behind the slowing demand? And with China's growing electric car industry growing, how much should we worry?

Welcome to The Times of Israel's newest podcast series, Friday Focus. Each Friday, join diplomatic reporter Lazar Berman and host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. We're still sifting through the facts and figuring out the results of the 12-day Israel-Iran war. But after every earthquake, there are aftershocks. Today, we’ll look at how this war has far-reaching effects on countries such as Russia, China, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. We begin the program by looking at China, which is hosting a gathering of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a China- and Russia-led regional security grouping. In attendance is Iran’s defense minister, Aziz Nasirzadeh. The conference is an attempt to build alternative international blocs to those backed by the United States, according to reporting on CNN. So, how does China fit in with the 12-day war? Our next stop is Russia. The world learned again that Russian military tech is no match for a first-class air force like the IDF after it failed to repel the Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear sites. Berman weighs in on Russia's nuanced approach to the Israel-Iran war and its cautious moves to not upset the Trump administration. Reports of Iranians fleeing to bordering Turkey during the conflict were unsurprising, said Berman, since the NATO nation is a gateway to Europe. We hear how Turkey responded to the war. Looking towards Saudi Arabia, US special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff reiterated Wednesday his belief that additional countries will join the Abraham Accords, which normalized ties between Israel and several Muslim nations. We learn what would have to happen for this to occur and how there may be a softening on Israel's part following the recent conflict with Iran. Friday Focus can be found on all podcast platforms. This episode was produced by the Pod-Waves and the video was edited by Thomas Girsch.

This two-part broadcast moves from the relatable to the urgent. First, the hosts share a lighthearted look at life's many minor injuries—those 4,000 cuts and bruises we accumulate over a lifetime—and the everyday chaos of parenting, like surviving road trips and teaching teenagers to drive. Then, the conversation shifts dramatically to expose how China is waging a quiet war against the United States. Senator Ted Cruz sounds the alarm on Chinese Communist Party efforts to bankroll environmental lawsuits and fund bogus climate research in U.S. universities, all to cripple America's energy sector and secure China's future as the world's sole superpower. Meanwhile, Democrats and complicit Republicans are allowing this sabotage to continue unchecked. From bioweapons targeting crops and livestock to critical rare earth mineral control, this episode underscores how complacency and corruption in Washington are putting every American's prosperity and security at risk.
In this explosive broadcast, the hosts connect the dots between China's massive push to dominate global energy production and artificial intelligence—and the Democrat Party's alignment with that agenda. From funding phony climate research at U.S. universities to weaponizing environmental lawsuits, China is systematically dismantling America's energy independence while Democrat leaders cheer them on. Senator Ted Cruz lays out evidence showing how China bankrolls litigation that cripples U.S. oil and gas, while Republicans like John Thune meekly comply with partisan parliamentarians blocking energy permits. The show also touches on personal stories—from the hazards of parenting teens learning to drive to the daily scrapes of life—to underscore how much ordinary Americans stand to lose. With warnings about Chinese bioweapons aimed at America's food supply and rare earth mineral dominance critical to powering AI, this segment urges listeners to wake up, fight back, and hold their own leaders accountable before it's too late.
If Iran gets a nuclear weapon, its crazy lunatic government will flip out and nuke us all. Watch out for Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, those guys are a bunch of maniacal antisemites who want to attack Israelis just because they're Jewish. Oh no, Putin is invading Ukraine completely unprovoked because he's a madman who hates freedom and won't stop until he's conquered all of Europe. China is building up its military because the megalomaniacal Xi Jinping wants to take over the world; all those US military bases surrounding China are just a defensive measure to contain Beijing's insanity. Assad just went nuts one day and started slaughtering his own people out of nowhere. Gaddafi is a sexual sadist who's giving Viagra to his troops to help them commit mass rapes in Libya. Saddam Hussein is so crazy and evil he's trying to obtain weapons of mass destruction to give Americans another 9/11. The North Koreans used to be far too insane to be allowed to have nuclear weapons because they'd nuke San Francisco immediately, but after they obtained nuclear weapons they were miraculously cured of this rare psychological disorder. The stories of the western empire ask us to believe that everyone who finds themselves in the imperial crosshairs is an irrational actor whose loony behavior can only be attributed to some uncontrollable defect within their own minds, or who will soon snap and do something nutty if they are not contained by force.

Pat Leahy and Cormac McQuinn join Jack Horgan-Jones to look back on the week in politics: · US President Donald Trump was the main attraction at a landmark Nato summit on Wednesday with Nato secretary general Mark Rutte calling him ‘Daddy' during their press conference. Trump got what he came for with Nato member states agreeing to an increase of 5 per cent of GDP in defence spending. · Over at the EU leaders summit on Thursday, defence spending was also high on the agenda with Ireland backing the EU's €150bn defence plan. The war in Gaza was highlighted too with Taoiseach Micheál Martin unable to comprehend how Europe doesn't seem capable of putting any pressure on Israel to stop it. And with Trump's tariffs pause set to end on July 9th, Ireland and other EU countries will be forgiven for looking at India and China as greater trading partners. · Do policy interventions like reviewing RPZs compensate for the delayed release of the Government's housing plan? The document won't be published until after the summer.· Presidential candidates are still pretty thin on the ground with Fine Gael's Seán Kelly saying he “could do a lot” as president but stopped short of declaring he actually will enter the race. Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· The endurance test that Irish concert-goers have to go through is worth it, Democratic mayoral primary Zohran Mamdani shocks as New York swelters, and Jaws and its Irish connection.

Trump told reporters the United States was starting to open up China.

In this sweeping episode, Ghost breaks down why geography is destiny, and how the old Silk Road trade routes are being revived to reshape global power. He explores Kazakhstan's sudden importance as Russia, China, and Iran link up railways and pipelines in a new Eurasian triangle that cuts out Western influence. From Chinese investment treaties and Saudi port expansions to Russia's quiet nuclear deals across Africa and Central Asia, Ghost unpacks how the multipolar world is materializing beneath the headlines. He dives into the Astana Process, the shadowy Astana city itselfJor, and the strategic chessboard of Central Asia that echoes ancient Mongol invasions and Ottoman history. You'll also hear why pipeline routes matter more than media narratives, how rare earth minerals in the Congo fuel everything from iPhones to missiles, and why seemingly disconnected conflicts in Ukraine, Armenia, and the DRC are all part of the same supply chain struggle. Complete with maps, historical context, and a big dose of skepticism about legacy media, this is a masterclass in understanding the economic and geographic forces behind today's headlines.
In this pre-recorded episode of The Daily Herold, Jon breaks down a packed day of historic Supreme Court decisions that limit nationwide injunctions, hand Trump a legal win on birthright citizenship, and affirm parents' rights to opt kids out of LGBTQ-themed school content. He unpacks the fascinating footnotes that call out partisan judges and describes how these rulings are forcing the judiciary back into its constitutional box. Jon also highlights the return of “Big Balls” Korestein, who reemerged at the Social Security Administration alongside former Doge engineers, fueling more questions about behind-the-scenes digital cleanups. He covers reports that Trump is preparing sweeping executive orders to accelerate AI development, sparking speculation about a rare earth trade thaw with China even as tensions escalate. Other topics include a fresh defamation lawsuit from Gavin Newsom against Fox News, oversight referrals seeking criminal charges against former FBI Director Wray for election interference, and the latest revelations about Biden's autopen approvals. Wrapping up, Jon showcases a liberal meltdown video, ponders drone mosquitoes, and previews the Badlands meetup in Lakeland. It's a rapid-fire tour through legal upheaval, technological brinkmanship, and the end of narrative control.
