STREAMING MAKING JBS, FEATURING GIORDON CHANG, JIM HOLMES, GREG SCARLATOIU, VICTORIA COATES, 6-1-26.1905 SHANGHAIThe provided transcript features a series of discussions between John Batchelor, Gordon Chang, and various experts regarding the strategic and economic challenges posed by China and North Korea. Early segments focus on Kim Jong-un's tactical shifts, specifically his strengthening of internal security and the tacit acceptance of North Korea's nuclear status by China. The dialogue then shifts to maritime strategy, analyzing the expansion of the People's Liberation Army Navy and its ambition to field a fleet of aircraft carriers to rival the United States. Further segments examine the critical importance of Taiwan and the global reliance on TSMC for advanced semiconductors, which creates a high-stakes bottleneck for artificial intelligence. Finally, the speakers address economic security, highlighting the Pentagon's blacklisting of Chinese firms and the push for country-of-origin labeling to combat forced labor and military entanglement. Throughout the text, the experts emphasize that Chinese diplomacy and industry are inextricably linked to the state's military and geopolitical objectives.

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-10-26.Greg Scarlatoiu analyzes Xi Jinping's visit to Pyongyang, noting that Kim Jong-un now views himself as a strategic equal to Xi and Putin. Despite sanctions, North Korea's economy shows a facade of growth fueled by billions made exporting artillery and special forces to Russia. Kim is also modernizing his security apparatus into a structure similar to Russia's FSB. (1)Professor Jim Holmes discusses the naval balance between the U.S. and China, suggesting the PLA Navy aims for six aircraft carriers to project power in the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean. While China has made strides in naval aviation without the heavy losses the U.S. historically endured, Holmes believes they still lag behind in technological sophistication and human tactical proficiency. (2)Victoria Coates highlights Taiwan's indispensable role in the global AI revolution through TSMC's high-end chip production, which the U.S. and China currently cannot replicate. She emphasizes that Taiwan's engineering "super workers" are a state secret. Coates also discusses the political friction in Washington regarding arms sales and the need for Taiwan to increase its own defense spending. (3)Victoria Coates addresses the Pentagon's decision to list major Chinese companies like BYD and Alibaba as security risks due to their military ties. She argues for clear country-of-origin labeling on products to inform American consumers. Furthermore, Coates criticizes the Biden administration for prioritizing climate goals over addressing China's use of forced labor in the solar panel supply chain. (4)Natalie Ecanow details Qatar's massive $400 billion investment footprint in the United States, including high-profile real estate like New York's Park Lane Hotel and significant orders for Boeing aircraft. She argues these investments are not merely financial but serve to buy long-term political influence and goodwill with American policymakers, regardless of party affiliation, by embedding Qatari wealth into the U.S. economy. (5)Natalie Ecanow explains that Qatari wealth is controlled by the Al-Thani autocracy, whose values often conflict with U.S. interests, such as their support for Hamas and the Taliban. She highlights the lack of transparency in Qatarifunding, citing a lawsuit that revealed nearly half a billion dollars in undisclosed money sent to Texas A&M University, and calls for stricter U.S. disclosure laws. (6)Joel Kotkin examines the definition of fascism, arguing that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is not a fascist because she respects democratic norms. He identifies China's government-led economy as the closest modern parallel to historical fascism. Kotkin also warns of "techno-fascism," where a small group of global tech companies exert unprecedented control over public opinion and information through surveillance tools. (7)Joel Kotkin disputes the label of "fascist" for the MAGA movement, noting it lacks the youth-driven, paramilitary organization characteristic of movements led by Mussolini or Hitler. He describes MAGA as a chaotic coalition of various interest groups held together by Donald Trump's personality. Kotkin emphasizes that using the term as a political slur ruins the possibility of necessary civil discourse. (8)Michael Bernstam discusses a looming glut of liquefied natural gas driven by record U.S. shale production, which is stabilizing energy prices in Europe. Regarding Russia, he explains that while crude exports continue, Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries have created a domestic manufacturing crisis, leading to fuel shortages for Russian agriculture and industry that are difficult to repair under sanctions. (9)Michael Bernstam reveals that China has significantly reduced its oil imports by nearly half by drawing on massive strategic reserves of 1.4 billion barrels and increasing electric vehicle adoption. Simultaneously, the U.S. has reached record domestic oil production of nearly 14 million barrels per day. These factors combined help lower global oil prices despite declining inventories in other OECD countries. (10)Tal Fortgang explores Justice Scalia's legal philosophy through a biography by James Rosen, focusing on Scalia's dissent in Lee v. Weisman regarding religious benedictions at public graduations. Fortgang explains how Scaliapopularized "originalism" and "textualism," arguing that the Constitution should be interpreted based on the original public meaning of the text rather than through subjective "moral readings" by judges. (11)Tal Fortgang discusses the "Scalian revolution" that shifted the Supreme Court toward judicial restraint. He notes that while Scalia faced a hostile press and "nasty" internal criticism from colleagues like Harry Blackmun, his ideas eventually prevailed. Fortgang also observes that the modern partisan venom in confirmation hearings began during Scalia's era with the contentious treatment of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas. (12)Simon Constable reports from France on falling global commodity prices for food and energy due to supply meeting demand. He then shifts to the immigration crisis in Britain, where violent incidents in Belfast and Southampton have fueled public outrage. Constable attributes the unrest to a failure of both major parties to manage unfettered immigration and the lack of cultural integration. (13)Simon Constable discusses the declining popularity of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the potential rise of challengers like Andy Burnham. He highlights a dramatic shift in British public opinion, with polling by Lord Ashcroftshowing that a vast majority of Labour, Liberal Democrat, and Green voters—and even a third of Conservatives—now favor rejoining the European Union after a decade of Brexit. (14)Bob Zimmerman tracks the transition to commercial space, noting that private companies like Vast are leading the race to build stations to replace the aging ISS. He discusses Amazon's struggle to launch its satellite constellation due to rocket delays, contrasted with SpaceX's efficiency. Zimmerman also reports on a milestone for SpaceX, as a single Falcon 9 booster successfully completed a record 35th flight. (15)Bob Zimmerman highlights discoveries by the James Webb Space Telescope, including a black hole 6 billion times the mass of the sun located 10 billion light-years away. He also describes a "flickering" quasar from the early universe that challenges current Big Bang theories. Finally, Zimmerman provides an update on the Curiosity rover as it travels through the "Grand" valley on its ascent of Mars. (16)Two name fixes: Joel Cotkin → Joel Kotkin (7, 8) — the urbanist/scholar's correct spelling Natalie Eacano → Natalie Ecanow (5, 6) — the FDD scholar's correct spelling

Furthermore, the experts analyze a potential summit between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, questioning whether such a meeting is appropriate while China supports adversaries like Iran and Russia.

A brief take on Ta-Nehisi Coates's move into Marvel Comics, highlighting how his Black Panther run bridges African American literary continuums and comic storytelling while expanding the scope of Black artistic production across forms. Written by Howard Rambsy IIRead by Kassandra Timm

May we resolve to live not by lies, political correctness, wokeness, or ‘repressive tolerance‘ by any name. May we live by the Truth alone, and may God have mercy on us. Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to. — Theodore Dalrymple (Anthony Daniels) Frontpage Magazine interview (August 31, 2005) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. — Romans 10:8-13 KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. — John 14:6 KJV Links Videos / Clips [x] = Played Triggered!

After a wave of high-profile pledges to bring pharmaceutical manufacturing back to the United States, a clearer picture of what reshoring actually looks like is starting to emerge. Tens of billions of dollars have been committed to new U.S. plants, but those investments are unlikely to translate into immediate gains in domestic production. In this week’s episode of "The Top Line," Fierce’s Eric Sagonowsky sits down with Rosemary Coates, executive director of the Reshoring Institute, to unpack where the trend stands today and what comes next. Coates explains why the pharma industry is uniquely positioned to bring supply chains back to the U.S., and the challenges companies face as they try to do it.

1. HEADLINE: China's Strategic Role in Global and Middle Eastern ConflictsGUEST: Victoria Coates, Gordon ChangSUMMARY: Experts discuss China's strategic presence in global conflicts, including its reliance on Gulf oil and support for Russia. They analyze China's limited effectiveness as a mediator between the U.S. and Iran. (1)1852 ARABIA

STREAMING THE MAKING OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SGOW, FEATURING GORDON CHANG, VICTORIS COATES, JIM HOLMES, CHARLES BURTON, 4-1-2016.1920In this transcript from The John Batchelor Show, host John Batchelor and analysts Gordon Chang, Victoria Coates, and Charles Burton evaluate China's pervasive influence across global flashpoints, specifically the Middle East, Ukraine, and the Americas. The discussion highlights the "not so invisible hand" of Beijing as it seeks to undermine United States authority while simultaneously grappling with its own vulnerabilities, such as energy security risks in the Strait of Hormuz. Coates argues that while China attempts to exert control from Caracas to Tehran, its actual effectiveness is waning as it struggles to protect its partners and secure stable oil supplies. The participants also examine the domestic threat of Chinese subversion within North America, citing the funding of radical activist groups by figures like Neville Roy Singum to destabilize democratic discourse. Finally, the dialogue addresses the geopolitical implications of a potential meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, questioning whether trade concessions can coexist with the reality of an ongoing New Cold War.

Former Deputy National Security Advisor Victoria Coates joins Sid to discuss the Iran conflict, where Coates argues timeline ambiguity is useful and says U.S. objectives center on disabling nuclear sites and addressing highly enriched uranium, while noting potential continued engagement if the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked. She emphasizes a second, economic front as Iran shuts down the internet, banks, and markets, predicting severe capital flight when restrictions lift. Coates contrasts Japan's constitutional limits and growing defense posture with what she calls Europe's disgraceful lack of naval capability and will, criticizing UK leader Keir Starmer's behavior and forecasting political upheaval. She also expects Trump's China trip to be postponed due to war and China's dependence on Gulf energy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
