Okay Playlisters, get ready for Michigan-palooza, or as we call it, everything you wanted to know about manufacturing thanks to Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens of Michigan's 11th district! Michael and Anna sit down with the three term Rep now running for the Michigan Senate to discuss the latest in the tariff chaos, the auto industry, and how Michigan Manufacturing (did we just coin that?) could be the slogan of many a nationwide campaign. But first, Anna and Michael discuss the protests in their backyard and how each day this is turning into a manufactured crisis thanks to Trump. To be clear, we denounce the instances of violence and property damage, but we also want to cut through the BS and say there is not large scale civil unrest in Los Angeles and we defer to the Governor when he says the National Guard is NOT needed.

Will AI displace more jobs than it creates? How can the U.S. win the AI race? How can AI benefits be evenly distributed across businesses and society?We explore these questions and more as Sriram Viswanathan sits down with Ronnie Chatterji, Chief Economist at OpenAI, for an in-depth exploration of AI's economic impact and policy implications. Ronnie brings a unique perspective, having served as an economic advisor in both the Obama and Biden administrations as a senior economist, supply chain advisor, and architect of the CHIPS Act.The conversation dives into the economic opportunities and challenges of AI adoption, from productivity gains and job market transformation to the critical need for workforce retraining and AI upskilling in schools. Ronnie also delves into America's competitive position in the global AI race, the critical need for infrastructure investment in order to continue scaling this emerging technology, and the lessons learned from implementing major industrial policy like the CHIPS Act.Links:Learn more about OpenAI's economic research and policy work - OpenAIRead OpenAI's Economic Blueprint for the US - OpenAI's Economic BlueprintExplore the CHIPS and Science Act - CHIPS.govRonnie Chatterji's academic work at Duke University - Duke Fuqua School of Business

“Even though the world's advanced economies are largely considered post-industrial, chipmaking is an area where domestic manufacturing is now being treated as a high priority for economic and national security reasons.” Jon Martin, Writing for the ‘More than Moore' substack The CHIPS and Science Act, which took effect in August of 2022, is an ambitious Federal program that will inject $52.7 Billion into U.S. semiconductor manufacturing, research and development, and workforce training. As we look back nearly 3 years later, there has been more talk than action, but no one party or entity bears all of the blame. Forming productive partnerships between the public and private sectors is always complicated - even when everyone's interests seem to be aligned, and a change of Administration has also brought changes in how the program will be run. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner reviews the law as an example of joint public-private reshoring: Reviewing the commitments that have been made to date Unpacking the roadblocks to progress that we've seen so far Considering what the Trump administration is doing to facilitate the process of rebuilding semiconductor manufacturing capabilities in the United States Links: Does the CHIPS Act provide the Helpful Incentives the U.S. needs?

Welcome to The Zenergy Podcast! On today's episode, host Karan Takhar, sits down with Heidi Binko, Co-Founder and CEO of Just Transition Fund. They begin with an overview of JTF, the work they are doing in coal communities around the U.S., and a summary of the broader energy landscape. Then, they discuss what happens to a local economy when their coal plant shuts down and how JTF works to support these communities during a time of transition. Heidi and Karan chat about what's driving coal out of these communities, what strategies JTF employs to reach the hardest hit communities, and what conversations they are having with community members. JTF has helped secure over $2 billion in grants and other assistance and has also aided in connecting coal communities across the nation so they can share what they have done to grow their economy. They touch briefly on federal funding, why investments such as the IRA and the CHIPS Act may not have landed with people in these communities as well as what impact the current federal funding freeze has on energy projects. Finally, Heidi shares her excitement for JTF's 10-year anniversary.

Send us a textArizona is transforming into the "Silicon Oasis" of America through an unprecedented collaboration that's reshaping semiconductor education from high school through graduate studies. At the heart of this revolution is a groundbreaking partnership between the University of Arizona and Chandler Unified School District, launching the nation's first high school career and technical education program focused on semiconductor manufacturing.Starting July 2025, forty students will begin a two-year journey learning on industry-grade equipment—not "glorified children's toys" but actual mechatronic systems, universal robots, and PCB printing technology. What makes this program revolutionary is its design for multiple pathways; graduates can either enter the workforce immediately as technicians or continue to higher education with college credits already earned.Meanwhile, Arizona State University is building the advanced end of this educational pipeline through CHIPS Act-funded initiatives like the Southwest Advanced Prototyping Hub and the SHIELD project. Graduate courses in semiconductor packaging have exploded in popularity, growing from just 27 students to over 175 in two years. The university is getting creative with outreach too, developing a "Packaging on Wheels" mobile facility to bring semiconductor education to schools nationwide.The strength of Arizona's approach lies in its extensive industry involvement. Fifteen major companies form the steering committee for the high school program, providing real-world problems and case studies. Students from diverse backgrounds—electrical, mechanical, materials science, and chemical engineering—all find pathways into this multidisciplinary field.As one industry expert notes, students with hands-on, industry-specific training demonstrate markedly better performance both during interviews and on the job. This educational ecosystem is creating not just the chips of tomorrow, but the workforce that will design, build, and innovate them. Contact Our Guests on LinkedIn: Scott Hayes, NXPLiesl Folks, University of ArizonaJanet Hartkopf, Chandler Unified School DistrictChris Bailey, ASUPallavi Praful, ASU Rohit Gandhi, ASU IMAPS Device Packaging ConferenceInterconnects for Tomorrow's Applications Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Since President Trump returned to office, tariffs have once again dominated economic policy discussions. Recent headlines have highlighted escalating trade tensions with China, renewed disputes with Canada and Mexico, and the ongoing controversy surrounding Trump's proposal to repeal the CHIPS Act—a $52 billion semiconductor initiative that enjoys wide support in Congress as essential for U.S. technological independence.But while tariffs capture public attention, beneath these headlines is a much broader debate over America's industrial strategy—how the nation can rebuild its manufacturing base, ensure economic prosperity, and strengthen national security in an increasingly competitive global environment. Critics argue that the shortcomings of recent attempts at industrial policy, such as the CHIPS Act, prove why government can't outperform free markets.Our guests today have a different view. Marc Fasteau and Ian Fletcher of the Coalition for a Prosperous America authored a new book, Industrial Policy for the United States: Winning the Competition for Good Jobs and High-Value Industries. They argue that a bold, comprehensive industrial strategy is not only achievable but essential—calling for targeted tariffs, strategic currency management, and coordinated investments to rejuvenate American industry and secure the nation's future. But will their approach overcome the challenges of bureaucracy, political division, and international backlash? And can industrial policy truly deliver on its promise of economic renewal?

Big money, big controversy, and big spring plans — we've got it all on this week's Friday news roundup. Political scientist Charlie Hunt joins host Lindsay Van Allen to discuss how concerned we should be about President Trump's attack on the CHIPS Act, and what it might mean for Micron. Then, they question why a West Ada teacher was told to take down “welcome” posters in her classroom. Plus, we're dreaming of spring break and recommend Charlie's free podcast event at Treefort Music Fest.  Want some more Boise news?

"Ik vind het sentiment heel negatief op dit moment, zeker als ik naar Amerika kijk", zegt Marc Langeveld van Econopolis. "Dat heeft vooral te maken met hoe Trump zich de afgelopen weken heeft gedragen." Koen Bender vindt eveneens dat Trump een ongeleid projectiel is. "Dat kan er uiteindelijk toe leiden dat we een krimpende economie krijgen in de VS. Tegelijkertijd biedt het ook kansen." Met dat laatste is Marc het eens, "technologie is oversold." Dat zal ongetwijfeld mede komen doordat Trump de investeringen in de Chips Act gaat terugdraaien. Marc vult aan: "Als beleggers meer cash willen aanhouden door de onzekere markt, dan verkopen ze de aandelen waarop ze dikke winst hebben gemaakt, dus de techaandelen." Twee grote techbedrijven die de boeken openden zijn Adobe en Oracle. Beide kwamen ze met cijfers die onder verwachting waren en beide bedrijven hebben de laatste kwartelen wel vaker zwakke resultaten laten zien. Adobe levert 14 procent in op de cijfers, voor Oracle blijft de schade beperkt tot een paar procent. Verder besteden we in de podcast aandacht aan resultaten van Basic-Fit en Volkswagen. Natuurlijk komen ook de luisteraarsvragen aan bod en geven de experts hun tips. Koen houdt het deze keer bij een wijze raad voor beleggers in deze roerige tijden. Marc tipt wel een aandeel, nota bene in de technologiesector. Geniet van de podcast! VanEck ETF’s (advertorial) Deze week is ook weer het tweewekelijks gesprek met Martijn Rozemuller, ceo van VanEckETF’s, de partner van BeursTalk. Ook met Martijn bespreek ik de gevolgen van het Amerikaanse beleid en hoe dat inwerkt op de financiële markten. Het is duidelijk dat de onzekerheid, bijvoorbeeld over de handelstarieven, leidt tot druk op de koersen. Europese aandelen lijken daar minder last van te hebben, ze doen het relatief in ieder geval beter dan Amerikaanse aandelen. In dat kader bespreken we ook de verschuivingen in de VanEck World Equal Weight Screened ETF. In Europa heerst een optimistischer stemming, vanwege de 800 miljard aan investeringen in defensie en infrastructuur, aangekondigd door Duitsland en de Europese Unie. Wie daarop wil inspelen kan eens kijken naar de VanEck Defense UCITS ETF. Daarbij zij aangetekend daar niet alleen Europese, maar ook Amerikaanse defensiebedrijven inzitten. Je hoort alle ins en outs van Martijn daarover, blijf dus luisteren tot na de disclaimer. Geniet van de podcast!

Het was laat op de avond in het Witte Huis. Het bedje was al opgemaakt en klaar om een heerlijke nachtrust te verzorgen aan president Donald Trump. Maar toen kwam er het persbericht: 'Europa slaat terug met importheffingen'. En als klap op de vuurpijl blijft het daar niet bij. De EU wil namelijk naast handelstarieven op motors, whiskey en boten nog meer heffingen gaan instellen. Die moeten specifiek gericht zijn op de achterban van Trump. Of dat effect heeft, dat hoor je in deze aflevering. En dan hebben we het ook over het goede nieuws uit Amerika. Economen waren huiverig over de inflatie daar, die zou door Trump's capriolen nog wel eens toe kunnen nemen. Maar voor nu valt het allemaal mee, want de inflatie daalde juist verder dan verwacht. Dat zorgt dan wel weer voor een bijzonder scenario bij de Federal Reserve. Want nu heeft voorzitter Jerome Powell een reden vóór snellere renteverlagingen (die dalende inflatie), en eentje tegen (de man in het Witte Huis en zijn wispelturige beleid). Je hoort ook nog over een ander plan uit Europa. Een aantal landen hebben het heft in eigen handen genomen en willen de chipindustrie naar zich toe trekken. En op kop gaan wij, Nederland, en onze minister van Economische Zaken.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This Day in Legal History: Nuclear Non-Proliferation TreatyOn March 5, 1970, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) officially took effect, marking a major milestone in global efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. The treaty, first opened for signatures in 1968, was ratified by 43 nations and established a framework based on three core principles: non-proliferation, disarmament, and the peaceful use of nuclear energy. Under its terms, nuclear-armed states agreed not to transfer nuclear weapons or technology to non-nuclear states, while non-nuclear countries pledged not to pursue nuclear weapons. In return, signatories were guaranteed access to nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, such as power generation and medical research. The treaty also called for eventual nuclear disarmament, though progress on this front has been slow and uneven. The NPT has since become one of the most widely adhered-to arms control agreements, with 191 countries now party to it. However, key states like India, Pakistan, and Israel never joined, while North Korea withdrew in 2003. The treaty's effectiveness has been challenged by nuclear programs in states like Iran and North Korea, as well as concerns over compliance by nuclear-armed signatories. Despite these challenges, the NPT is reviewed every five years at Review Conferences, where nations assess progress and negotiate future commitments. The treaty remains central to international non-proliferation efforts, balancing national security interests with the goal of reducing nuclear threats worldwide.In his primetime address to Congress, President Donald Trump defended his aggressive tariff policies, claiming they would generate significant revenue and restore economic balance. He downplayed concerns over rising consumer prices, characterizing them as a temporary inconvenience. While Trump briefly addressed inflation, blaming high costs on his predecessor, he provided few concrete solutions. Instead, he focused on politically charged topics like immigration and cultural issues, declaring an end to "wokeness." His speech coincided with growing economic concerns, including stagnating factory activity and declining consumer confidence, while markets reacted negatively to escalating trade tensions. New tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China sparked fears of inflation and economic slowdown, though his administration suggested potential relief for North American allies. Trump also called for the repeal of the Chips Act, arguing tariffs were more effective in boosting domestic industry. He promoted energy independence but proposed long-term projects unlikely to have an immediate impact. Meanwhile, his executive actions have rapidly reshaped government policies, sparking bipartisan concerns. The speech underscored Trump's efforts to push his economic agenda while navigating political and economic challenges.Trump Hails Tariffs as US Economy Barrels Into Trade WarsThe U.S. Tax Court ruled that a $3.1 million grant given to a Cantor Fitzgerald subsidiary after the Sept. 11 attacks is taxable income. The grant, provided in 2007 through New York City's World Trade Center Job Creation and Retention Program, was meant to help businesses recover, but the court determined it did not qualify as a tax-exempt gift or disaster aid. Despite this, the court waived $211,000 in penalties, acknowledging the complexity of tax laws at the time. Cantor Fitzgerald, which lost 658 employees in the World Trade Center attacks, had argued the funds should not be considered taxable, citing past Supreme Court rulings. However, Judge Kathleen M. Kerrigan found that the payments were not an act of disinterested generosity but an effort to stimulate economic recovery. The IRS had initially determined in 2007 that the company owed about $1.1 million in taxes for not reporting the grant on its tax returns. While Cantor Fitzgerald contested the classification, the court upheld the IRS's position, reinforcing that government aid programs do not automatically qualify for tax exemption.Cantor Fitzgerald's Sept. 11 Relief Grant Deemed Taxable IncomeFederal judges are facing an increase in threats as Elon Musk and Trump allies intensify their attacks on the judiciary over rulings that hinder White House policies. The U.S. Marshals Service has warned judges about heightened security risks, especially as Musk has repeatedly criticized judges on his social media platform, calling them “corrupt” and “evil.” Some judges have received anonymous deliveries, like pizzas, in what authorities see as intimidation tactics. Musk's posts, along with calls from Republican lawmakers to impeach certain judges, have coincided with a rise in violent threats, particularly against judges who have blocked parts of the administration's plans to cut government jobs and aid programs. One judge, Amir Ali, received death threats after ruling against a Trump executive order, with online users calling for his execution. The American Bar Association and the Federal Judges Association have condemned these attacks, warning that continued intimidation could undermine judicial independence. Since 2020, threats against federal judges have more than doubled, and legal experts caution that targeting judges for their rulings could destabilize the rule of law.Exclusive: Judges face rise in threats as Musk blasts them over rulings | ReutersTwo Trump EPA nominees are facing Senate scrutiny over the agency's possible plan to roll back the 2009 “endangerment finding,” which forms the legal basis for regulating greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. The nominees, Aaron Szabo and David Fotouhi, would oversee efforts to reverse this finding, which has supported climate regulations on power plants and vehicle emissions. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has recommended reconsidering the finding to the White House, though details remain undisclosed. While the Supreme Court's 2007 ruling in Massachusetts v. EPA confirmed greenhouse gases as air pollutants, the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act further solidified the EPA's authority. However, the EPA under Trump previously avoided overturning the rule due to industry resistance. Some industry groups, like the Edison Electric Institute, have expressed reliance on EPA authority for emissions regulation, while automakers have yet to take a position. Zeldin acknowledged the EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse gases but suggested it is not obligated to do so, fueling debate over the agency's future climate policies.Top EPA nominees face Senate scrutiny over plan to undo key climate finding | Reuters This is a public episode.

Ce mercredi 5 mars, François Sorel a reçu Pierre Vannier, directeur général de Flint, Clément David, président de Theodo Cloud et Jérôme Marin, fondateur de cafetech.fr, ont évoqué l'annonce de Donald Trump sur la suppression du "Chips Act", le plan massif de subventions pour les semi-conducteurs, dans l'émission Tech & Co, la quotidienne, sur BFM Business. Retrouvez l'émission du lundi au jeudi et réécoutez la en podcast.

On today's podcast: 1) President Trump promises golden age but warns tariffs could cause disturbance, President Trump defended his tariff plan, saying it would raise "trillions and trillions" in revenue and rebalance trading relationships, despite acknowledging potential economic pain. The president touted his tariff moves as effective in bringing jobs to the US, threatened to impose new tariffs, and announced plans for domestic energy production and an office of shipbuilding at the White House. 2) Trump calls for a repeal of the Chips Act. The president touted his tariff moves as more effective at bringing jobs to the US than Biden’s efforts, which included the Chips and Science Act and its billions in subsidies to spur domestic semiconductor manufacturing. Trump urged lawmakers to eliminate the Chips Act and said he would not give chipmakers any more funds from the law. 3) Job cuts are on the way at Disney. The Walt Disney Company is eliminating roughly 200 jobs across its ABC and entertainment TV networks, according to an internal memo. The majority of the cuts affect the ABC News division in New York. Production units including ABC News Studios, 20/20 and Nightline will be consolidated and the impacted employees will be notified on Wednesday, according to the memo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Democrats would do well to listen to the leaders in their party who know how to communicate. Whether on the economy, green jobs, or the future of chip manufacturing, former Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan has a way of talking about these issues that resonates and makes sense to people. He joined Jen Psaki in this episode to share some insights into how Democrats can rethink and reframe the issues that matter most to the party. They also take a beat to talk about JD Vance, the nostalgia of small-town America and the importance of self-reflection to a party that lost.Want to listen to this show without ads?

¿Cuáles son los retos que tiene para la Inversión Extranjera Directa (IED) que alienta la economía costarricense, la pretensión de Donald Trump de que las empresas estadounidenses regresen a su país mediante la aplicación de políticas de incentivos y castigos? Cierto, el entorno global para la atracción de IED siempre ha sido altamente competitivo y Costa Rica, pese a ser un país tan pequeño, se ha destacado a punto de ser la nación con la IED más alta del mundo en relación con su Producto Interno Bruto (PIB). Pasamos de $2.320 millones, en el 2018, a $3.291 millones en el 2023, con prominencia en manufactura de dispositivos médicos y servicios empresariales. Pero la inversión es volátil, los flujos se llevan a regiones según tendencias, ventajas competitivas, intereses empresariales y, claro, geopolítica. La tendencia global es a la baja, dada la reconfiguración de las cadenas de valor, los avances tecnológicos, la digitalización y los incentivos especialmente en energías renovables, semiconductores, infraestructura digital y el “nearshoring” (estrategia de traslado de empresas a países más cercanos) para acortar las cadenas de producción. A pesar de que el país ha demostrado tener muy buen músculo en la consolidación de la IED, las nuevas condiciones (incluida mayor incertidumbre) podrían incidir en la disminución de las apuestas, particularmente para la producción de semiconductores, dada la amenaza de Trump de revisar la legislación de CHIPS Act. Para poner en balanza este tema conversamos mañana con el economista y ex presidente del Banco Central, Rodrigo Cubero Brealey.

“Deploy, deploy, deploy. More than half a trillion dollars has been invested in the United States since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act and the bi-partisan Infrastructure Bill. These laws have made investing in America irresistible. They have made the energy transition inevitable - and inexorable.” Speech by Jennifer Granholm Federal-level developments have delivered a series of blows, leaving many of us questioning the future of clean energy, sustainability and climate action. If you're feeling that uncertainty, this week's episode is for you.   Listen to this powerful speech by Jennifer Granholm, 16th U.S. Secretary of Energy (2021-2025), who used her final public address in office to herald the clean energy revolution underway in the U.S. Her words will leave you feeling optimistic and inspired by the opportunities this transition is creating, as it also makes communities more resilient to the ravages of climate change that we have all been witnessing.   Granholm lays out three powerful reasons to believe that the clean energy transition is built to last. She delivers a powerful reminder about how the Inflation Reduction Act, the Infrastructure Bill, and the CHIPS and Science Act have sparked investments across America, driving record-breaking economic growth (including mostly in Republican-dominated states) with an energy revolution that she says is here to stay.You'll hear about: Powerful statistics from the Department of Energy, such as how 98% of the programs have received at least one round of funding under the existing regulations. The 900 new clean energy manufacturing facilities and expansions across the country, many in communities that previously suffered from job losses. Advancements made in battery supply chains, nuclear power, and other clean energy technologies. How the baton is now handed to us, to advocate for these laws and ensure their continued support through our representatives in Congress. Plus, career advice from Rachel McCleery, former Senior Advisor, U.S. Treasury Dept., Office of the Inflation Reduction Act, featured in Joan Michelson's Forbes piece on How Women Can Look At Their Careers Differently In 2025, Especially In Climate, Energy. “You have to have a little bit of fearlessness at this stage of your career. You have the ambition, you have the drive, you know how to do it, you have the confidence. But confidence and fearlessness, to me, they are two very different things. And in order to take that step, you have to be able to take some risks and you have to assume space that you haven't before.” Rachel McCleery on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan's Forbes articles here. You'll also like: Gina McCarthy, Fmr. White House National Climate Advisor & Climate Policy Head, on how climate policy boosts the economy Heather Boushey, White House Council of Economic Advisors, on how federal funding is expediting the energy transition while helping to avert the worsening effects of climate change Tara Giunta, Global Co-Chair of ESG & Sustainable Finance Practice at Paul Hastings Law Firm, on climate risk disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission Lisa Jacobson & Tara Narayanan, Bloomberg New Energy Finance, on why the energy transition is in full swing despite headwinds Halla Hrund Logadottir, Director-General, Iceland's National Energy Authority, on how the country has become 85% renewable energy.  Want to hear more from us?

America's Stone Age Ports: How Unions Block Progress   One Year, Big Results! How Javier Milei Freed Markets, and Reduced Inflation One year ago, libertarian Javier Milei was elected president of Argentina. How has it worked out Amazingly well! In his first year, Milei has already cut government spending by 30%, eliminated entire ministries, fired thousands of government workers, slashed subsidies, and deregulated the economy. Today, inflation is down, the federal budget is in surplus, and the country's housing shortage crisis is over. “When Milei came into power,” says Ian Vasquez of the Cato Institute, “There was 40% poverty rate. There was an annual inflation of over 200%. Now inflation is down. The economy started to recover... Milei is showing that his libertarian policies are working." Years of big government had left Argentina in crisis. Pundits and the media claimed Milei couldn't fix any of that. They were wrong. Milei's success shows that freedom works! Maybe our politicians will learn from him.

It's because companies that embrace “ESG” woke investing end up prioritizing politics over innovation. Intel, once a leader in the tech world, wasted millions on ESG goals. Now, it lags behind its competitors. Its stock is down more than 70%. “You have a company that's absolutely failing!” Says Matt Cole, CEO of Strive investment managing. Even BlackRock, which led the “ESG” push, now backs away from ESG investments. “What you're seeing today,” says Cole, “is ESG funds shuttering at record speed.” Our new video explains why John Stossel 1.03M subscribers 559,189 views Jan 21, 2025 . ————————— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe —————————   Why Students Are Miserable: The Coddling of the American Mind https://youtu.be/MtuKanQI5bQ?si=G5lq-gbvFq70C67L John Stossel 1.03M subscribers 432,262 views Jan 7, 2025 Many colleges no longer teach critical thinking. They teach censorship. And victimhood. These ideas make students depressed and anxious. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— The new documentary, “The Coddling of the American Mind,” ( thecoddlingmovie.com ) tells stories of students who fell for the indoctrination. Before college, Kimi Katiti was full of confidence. But at the Art Institute of California, she learned she was a victim. “I was introduced to microaggressions,” she explains. “This set of thought processes was really unhealthy and was making me miserable.” Lucy Kross at Stanford was taught that Ben Shapiro's ideas "put black, brown, trans, queer, and Muslim students at risk." She found that embracing woke language made her more popular. “When I started to use the vocabulary of like, marginalized, intersectional, hegemonic…People just kind of smiled a little bit more.” Over time, she, and others, concluded that such ideas hurt her. Our new video looks at their experience navigating campus indoctrination, and how they escaped it.   The White Pill: Big Government Can Be Defeated (Just Ask the Soviet Union) https://youtu.be/ELftaF5ANKg?si=dj0aJM_GW53ex3Zn John Stossel 1.03M subscribers 141,337 views Dec 17, 2024 People have been “black pilled” to think the world is doomed. Michael Malice says there's hope. In his book, “The White Pill,” he argues that tyrannical regimes, like the Soviet Union, can be toppled. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— Today, media and universities distort history, and push socialism. It used to be worse. The New York Times once covered up Stalin's famine, even as millions starved. Why? Malice says it's because NYT star reporter Walter Duranty liked communism's utopian promises, and status he got from his exclusive Stalin interviews. Malice says the fall of the Soviet Union should give us hope that America can resist the universities and media's brainwashing – or any tyranny that someone is “black pilled” about. Our video above explains Malice's “white pill” and why you might want to take it.   Why Government Can't Build Broadband or Charging Stations… Or Anything! The government promised to expand broadband, build hundreds of thousands of EV chargers, and to bring back semiconductor jobs. They delivered delays, waste, and failure. Why? Because they spend your money, not their own. After three years and $65 billion spent to expand broadband, not a single person has yet been connected. Also, two years into Biden's $7.5 billion EV charging stations initiative, which was supposed to build 500,000 stations, only seven have been built. The CHIPS Act promised to bring semiconductor jobs back to America. But the money got tied up in DEI quotas, climate pledges, and union mandates. When bureaucrats spend other people's money, they have little incentive to spend it carefully. Our new video explains why government should leave building things to the private sector.

That innovation upsets unions. International Longshoreman's Association president Harold Daggett says they'll soon strike if automation isn't completely banned. "If I don't get that, I'm not coming back to the table!” Daggett shouts. He has been clear about the harm that will impose on Americans. "Guy sell cars can't sell cars because the cars aren't coming in off the ships… constructions workers get laid off because the materials aren't coming in." The union boss wants to protect his union's jobs, but there's a cluelessness to his demands. Banning automation will also hurt his members. "They'll save some jobs today," economist Liya Palagashvili explains, “but they'll destroy a lot more jobs in the future." That's because shippers have choices. They'll just send goods to the more efficient, automated ports. That's just one of the things unions get wrong about automation. Our new video explores how automation will make the future safer and richer, if only unions get out of the way.
