The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- Congressman Mike Kelly—Representative for Pennsylvania's 16th Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to talk about his work as Chairman of the Bipartisan Task Force Investigating the Attempted Assassination of Former President Donald Trump. Rep. Kelly says that based upon the evidence, Trump has been very fortunate that both would-be assassins were “amateurs” and not professionals—“we can't let our guard down” and there can't be any more Secret Service security lapses. 5:20pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Iran's attack on Israel consisting of nearly 200 ballistic missiles. What happens next? Dr. Coates is the author of the upcoming book: “Battle for the Jewish State” which features a forward from Senator Ted Cruz. 5:40pm- Debate Night Preview. In preparation for the debate, The New York Times studied Tim Walz's past debate performances. Rich and Matt think the most telling line from the article is a plea to temper expectations for Walz. It seems like even The New York Times—which endorsed Kamala Harris earlier this week—expects J.D. Vance to win handily. 5:50pm- What Does Gina Raimondo Do All Day? While speaking with Becky Quick of CNBC's Squawk Box, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said she's “not very focused” on the dockworkers strike.

In this easy to listen to, charming, and informative episode of "The Bill Walton Show," host Bill Walton engages with Mercedes Schlapp and Matt Schlapp in a dynamic discussion about the pressing issues facing America today. Together, and with humor, they dig into the upcoming elections, economic priorities, and the shifting political landscape. Of course, as Trump supporters, the trio delves into critiques of Biden/Harris' leadership, the importance of economic growth, and why minority communities are increasingly supporting conservative policies. They also highlight the work that CPAC has been doing with the worldwide movements for freedom and liberty. With optimism, they address concerns about election integrity and the power of respectful discourse. This conversation offers valuable insights into topics shaping the nation's future—it's a discussion you won't want to miss.  Key Takeaways:  (00:25) The episode kicks off with Bill Walton likening the show to "Seinfeld," but instead of "nothing," it's a "show about everything," signaling a deep dive into pressing global issues.

[00:30] A World on Fire (55 minutes) Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo called for Trump to be “extinguished for good” this morning on live television. The U.S. Senate report on the Pennsylvania assassination attempt exposes the Secret Service's many critical missteps leading up to the moment Donald Trump was almost murdered. Newly released transcripts prove that military leadership stonewalled Trump's attempts to protect the Capitol with troops on Jan. 6, 2021. Meanwhile, major American cities like Philadelphia and Chicago are battling a migrant crime wave that Kamala Harris still pretends doesn't exist, and domestic gangs are facing off against foreign gangs like Tren de Aragua. Also, the P. Diddy scandal threatens to implicate high-ranking individuals throughout politics, media and entertainment, including Barack Obama. As the New York Post illustrated on its front page this morning, our world is on fire.

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show!   Brett kicks off the program by talking about a political discussion, expressing skepticism about the effectiveness of the U.S. Secret Service in protecting presidential candidates, suggesting they should be retrained for different security roles. Brett advocates for allowing presidential candidates to hire private security, funded by the government, due to perceived threats against figures like Donald Trump.  He criticizes comments made by Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, who spoke about "extinguishing" Trump, and reflects on the general state of the political landscape, including remarks from Nancy Pelosi regarding Trump and Kamala Harris. Winterble concludes by highlighting Trump's charitable actions during the Maui fires, contrasting his approach with governmental inefficiencies.  We're joined by Coach Matt Doherty from to talk about the current political landscape, particularly focusing on the upcoming election featuring Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. And the impact of public perception, and the role of sports and community in political engagement.    Bo Thompson  from Good Morning BT is also here for this Wednesday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about the upcoming presidential election, highlighting the frequent visits of candidates to Charlotte and the significance of North Carolina as a battleground state. They mention the heightened political activity, especially in light of recent news surrounding Mark Robinson  The conversation shifts to an approaching hurricane, with Thompson reminiscing about Hurricane Hugo from 1989 and its lasting impact on Charlotte, including power outages and damage from fallen trees. They explore the differences between storm types and the challenges they pose Bo also shares what He and Beth Troutman have coming up Thursday on Good Morning BT!  Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 As America waits to hear what Kamala Harris has as a vision for the country, cue the media for the assist! Why is David Muir moderating tonight? Buckle up! CNBC is getting louder by calling out Kamala's surrogates - this time - Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo. And how hurling accusations of "racism" underscores the Democrats' desperation. Can Maxine Waters and Dan Goldman convince you you're racist if you're opposed to America's alien invasion?

In February 2023, U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo was deciding whether or not to sign off on a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for $39 billion in direct semiconductor manufacturing incentives. But this NOFO had several unconventional provisions: a pre-application (pre-app) to the actual application, upside sharing provisions to align incentives, and funding milestones so that only awardees making progress would receive additional funds. The funding had been made available through the U.S. Department of Commerce by the CHIPS (Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors) and Science Act passed a few months earlier. Raimondo's team had proposed additional measures that would help the U.S. regain technological leadership while protecting taxpayer funds. Should Raimondo move forward with the “innovative” NOFO, despite the risks?

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss the third night of the Democratic National Convention and more. They comment on Bill Clinton's decline, the fictional Tim Walz highlighted at the DNC vs. the one with a real & disturbing record as governor, the Dems projecting the fantasy that they are the party of freedom, and Biden's commerce secretary giving a bizarre reaction to a lousy jobs report.First, after commenting on Clinton's speech that was underwhelming and way too long, they dissect the "strikingly shameless" portrayal of Tim Walz as an everyman and good neighbor instead of the far left politician who coddled rioters, threatened anyone reluctant to take a Covid vaccine, added a Covid snitch line, and has had a cozy relationship with China for decades.Next, they shake their heads as Democrat after Democrat pretended that they are the party of freedom and that Republicans are the party of federal intrusion into our lives. And yet, there's only a couple of "freedoms" that they really care about and got repeated over and over Wednesday night.Finally, they laugh as Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo accuses Donald Trump of issuing the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report showing the government overestimated the number of jobs created over the past year by 818,000. When confronted with the truth, Raimondo claimed she was not aware of the report.

The Department of Commerce's Tech Hubs program, a key initiative supported by the CHIPS and Science Act, aims to bolster federal research and innovation in emerging technologies, especially in areas outside major cities. Senior Biden administration officials discussed the program's impact during a call announcing 12 new initiatives that will receive funding. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo emphasized the need to decentralize the tech ecosystem, noting that 90% of new tech jobs have been concentrated in just five cities over the past two decades. Key focus areas for these Tech Hubs include uncrewed aerial systems, IT, semiconductors, high-performance materials, and grid resilience systems. Among the recent grant recipients are the Elevate Quantum TechFund in Colorado and the Wisconsin Biohealth TechHub. In other news, the General Services Administration (GSA) has announced a request for proposals for the Alliant 3 Governmentwide Acquisition Contract, notable for its unprecedented no-ceiling dollar amount. This contract seeks to cover a broad range of IT services, including AI, biometrics, quantum computing, and more, with a focus on emerging technologies. Greg Godbout and Noah Kunin, former leaders of the GSA's 18F digital team, join The Daily Scoop Podcast host Billy Mitchell to discuss their new initiative, info2insight. This open-source community aims to foster data-driven decision-making in government and accelerate the adoption of data analytics. They highlight the progress in government digital services and the need to pivot towards data analytics to manage the increasing information from AI and ML technologies. They share their vision for info2insight as a collaborative platform for civil servants, private-sector technologists, and academics to drive better governance through data insights.

In today's episode, we discuss Microsoft's commitment to take full responsibility for security failures, as detailed in Brad Smith's House testimony (https://www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/microsoft--security-failures-house-testimony/718853/), YouTube's testing of harder-to-block server-side ad injections affecting ad blockers like SponsorBlock, along with the potential solutions (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/youtube-tests-harder-to-block-server-side-ad-injection-in-videos/), and the new "Sleepy Pickle" attack technique that targets machine learning models, posing severe supply chain risks (https://thehackernews.com/2024/06/new-attack-technique-sleepy-pickle.html). Tune in for a detailed analysis of these pressing cybersecurity issues and their broader implications. Thanks to Jered Jones for providing the music for this episode. https://www.jeredjones.com/ Logo Design by https://www.zackgraber.com/ Tags: Microsoft, President, Security, Cybersecurity, Brad Smith, House testimony, Security failures, State-linked cyberattacks, U.S. federal agencies, Cyber attack, Machine learning, Sleepy Pickle, Pickle format, Supply chain risk Search Phrases: Microsoft security failures, Brad Smith House testimony, U.S. federal agencies cyber attack, State-linked cyberattack Microsoft, Measures to improve Microsoft cybersecurity, Sleepy Pickle machine learning, Protecting machine learning models, Cybersecurity in Pickle format, Supply chain risks in cybersecurity, Advanced server-side ad injection YouTube Microsoft will take full ownership for security failures in House testimony https://www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/microsoft--security-failures-house-testimony/718853/ ---`- Microsoft's Accountability: Brad Smith, Microsoft's vice chair and president, commits to taking full responsibility for recent security failures in his written testimony to the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security. This is a critical move for transparency and accountability in the cybersecurity sector. State-Linked Cyberattacks: The testimony follows two significant state-linked cyberattacks on Microsoft. Hackers from the People's Republic of China targeted Microsoft Exchange Online, compromising 22 organizations and 500 individuals, including high-profile figures like U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo. Another attack from the Russia-linked Midnight Blizzard group compromised senior executives' credentials, impacting federal agency security. Preventable Breaches: A report by the U.S. Cyber Safety Review Board criticized Microsoft for prioritizing speed to market and new features over security, labeling the attacks as preventable. This highlights the importance for cybersecurity professionals to balance innovation with robust security measures. Security Recommendations: The Cyber Safety Review Board issued 25 recommendations to improve security, 16 specifically for Microsoft. These recommendations are essential for Microsoft and the broader cloud security industry to address vulnerabilities and prevent future breaches. Phishing Attack Surge: Nation-state cyber activity has intensified, with Microsoft experiencing 47 million phishing attacks against its employees and 345 million daily attacks against its customers. This underscores the importance of phishing awareness and training for all cybersecurity professionals. Enhanced Security Measures: To bolster internal security, Microsoft plans to link senior executive compensation to meeting security goals, demonstrating a commitment to accountability. Additionally, the company has invited the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to its headquarters for a detailed briefing on their security strategy. Industry Implications: Critics argue that Microsoft's dominant position in federal systems should be re-evaluated given its security lapses. This raises questions about the broader implications for vendor accountability and the need for stringent security standards in government contracts.` YouTube tests harder-to-block server-side ad injection in videos https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/youtube-tests-harder-to-block-server-side-ad-injection-in-videos/ ---`- YouTube Ad Blocking Challenge: YouTube now injects advertisements directly into video streams (server-side ad injection), making it tougher for ad blockers to filter them out. (Source: BleepingComputer) This method integrates ads seamlessly into the video content, creating a continuous stream that includes ad segments. Impact on Ad Blockers: Traditional ad blockers, which rely on blocking JavaScript scripts for ad insertion, will struggle with this new approach. SponsorBlock, a tool that crowdsources data to skip sponsored content, reports that server-side ad injection disrupts its functionality. Technical Breakdown: YouTube uses smaller video segments, or "chunks," stitched together to create continuous playback. A manifest file dictates the sequence of these chunks, including both content and ads, complicating the ability to skip or block ads. SponsorBlock's Response: Currently, SponsorBlock blocks submissions from browsers with server-side ad injection to avoid data corruption. Future solutions may involve calculating ad durations via metadata and YouTube's interface elements, though these systems are still in development. Potential Solutions for Ad Blockers: Ad blockers might need to evolve by developing sophisticated detection algorithms, analyzing metadata, and employing advanced pattern recognition techniques to identify ad segments.` New Attack Technique 'Sleepy Pickle' Targets Machine Learning Models https://thehackernews.com/2024/06/new-attack-technique-sleepy-pickle.html ---`1. Discovery of Sleepy Pickle Attack: Trail of Bits researchers discovered a new attack technique called "Sleepy Pickle" that targets machine learning (ML) models. Unlike traditional attacks, Sleepy Pickle focuses on corrupting the ML model itself, posing a severe supply chain risk. Mechanism and Risks: The attack leverages the Pickle format, commonly used in ML libraries like PyTorch, to carry out arbitrary code execution during deserialization. Sleepy Pickle can insert backdoors, control outputs, or tamper with processed data, leading to dangerous consequences like misinformation or data theft. Attack Delivery Methods: Attackers can deliver the payload using techniques such as adversary-in-the-middle (AitM) attacks, phishing, supply chain compromise, or exploiting system weaknesses. When deserialized, the payload modifies the model in-place, making detection very difficult. Recommendations for Mitigation: Only load models from trusted users and organizations. Use signed commits and consider alternatives to Pickle, like TensorFlow or Jax formats with auto-conversion mechanisms. Potential Impact: Hypothetical scenarios include generating harmful outputs (e.g., unsafe health advice), stealing user data, or manipulating news article summaries to redirect to phishing sites. The attack can maintain surreptitious access to ML systems, evading detection by modifying model behavior dynamically. Broader Implications: Sleepy Pickle highlights the need for stronger supply chain security and awareness of vulnerabilities in widely-used software components. The attack's ability to corrupt local models without appearing as an ML model broadens the attack surface significantly.`

The United States is intensifying its tech war against China. In yet another act of "economic coercion" targeting Chinese companies, the US has revoked export licenses that allowed tech giants such as Qualcomm and Intel to supply chips to Chinese telecommunications equipment company Huawei, which Washington has already put on a trade restriction "entity list" since 2019 on the grounds that it poses national security risks to the US.美国正在加紧对中国的科技战争。在针对中国公司的又一次“经济胁迫”行动中，美国撤销了允许高通和英特尔等科技巨头向中国电信设备公司华为供应芯片的出口许可证，而华盛顿已经自2019年起将华为列入贸易限制“实体名单”，理由是华为对美国构成国家安全风险。The move comes after the Chinese company unveiled its first AI-enabled laptop last month, and announced that its first-quarter profits surged more than fivefold year-on-year, making some China hawks in Washington to complain that previous US crackdowns on the Chinese company have not yielded the intended results. They have pushed for the US administration to further tighten the screws on the company.此前，这家中国公司上个月推出了首款支持人工智能的笔记本电脑，并宣布其第一季度利润同比增长五倍以上。这让在华盛顿的一些鹰派人士抱怨说，美国此前对中国公司的打压并未取得预期效果。他们要求美国政府进一步收紧对中国公司的限制。Speaking before the House Appropriations Committee on Wednesday, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo made no bones about Washington's abuse of export controls. "I tell semiconductor companies that they can't sell their chips to China," she told the panel.5月8日，商务部长吉娜·雷蒙多在众议院拨款委员会上公开阐述了华盛顿滥用出口管制的行为。她对小组成员说：“我告诉半导体公司，他们不能把芯片卖给中国。”The new sanctions will certainly undermine the smooth development of Sino-US relations, which the two sides have managed to stabilize since last year through a series of high-level visits. The latest move not only runs counter to the World Trade Organization rules, but also belies the commitment the US has repeatedly made to China that it does not seek to "decouple" from the country or to contain its development.自去年以来，中美双方通过一系列高层互访成功稳定了两国关系，新的制裁措施必将破坏两国关系的顺利发展。最新举措不仅违背了世界贸易组织的规则，也有悖于美国多次对中国做出的承诺，即美国不寻求与中国“脱钩”，也不寻求遏制中国的发展。The fact that the latest US restrictions are targeted at purely civilian consumer chip products exported to China also makes the promise that US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen made during her visits to China that US national security actions in the economic sphere are narrowly scoped and based on clearly defined national security concerns sound empty.美国最新的限制措施针对的是出口到中国的纯民用消费芯片产品，这也使得美国财政部长珍妮特·耶伦在访华期间做出的承诺，即美国在经济领域的国家安全行动范围狭窄，且基于明确界定的国家安全关切，沦为空谈。There is increasing evidence that the US is trying to erect a technological "iron curtain" to isolate China from the rest of the world in the realm of high technologies.While unveiling US International Cyberspace and Digital Policy Strategy at a major tech forum in San Francisco on Monday, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken declared that the US intends to enhance international technology collaborations — or "digital solidarity" — with its allies and partners in technological advancements ranging from artificial intelligence to quantum computing, which obviously is aimed at countering China's progress in these fields."越来越多的证据表明，美国正试图在高科技领域设置一道技术“铁幕”，将中国与世界其他国家隔离开来。5月6日，美国国务卿安东尼·布林肯在旧金山举行的一个重要科技论坛上公布美国国际网络空间和数字政策战略时宣称，美国打算在从人工智能到量子计算等技术进步领域加强与盟国和伙伴的国际技术合作，即“数字团结”，这显然是旨在对抗中国在这些领域的进步。"Today's revolutions in technology are at the heart of our competition with geopolitical rivals. They pose a real test to our security," he said, adding "it is critical that we work with trusted vendors and exclude untrustworthy ones from the ecosystem".“今天的技术革命是我们与地缘政治对手竞争的核心。它们对我们的安全构成了真正的考验，”他补充说，“我们必须与值得信赖的供应商合作，将不值得信赖的供应商排除在生态系统之外，这是至关重要的。”The US has not achieved its goal of impeding China's technological advances with its sweeping technology restrictions in the past. It will not do so in the future.美国过去通过全面的技术限制阻碍中国的技术进步，但这一目标并未实现。今后也不会实现。semiconductor半导体sanction制裁US International Cyberspace and Digital Policy Strategy美国国际网络空间和数字政策战略

After achieving victory in the Cold War against the Soviet Union, US political leadership, starting with the Clinton Administration, has made a continuing string of strategic blunders that have brought the United States to the point where - after building China up for decades - we face an enemy determined to become the new global hegemon and that now possesses equal economic, military and diplomatic resources. To learn how this came about, in this episode Bill talks with  James E. Fanell and Bradley A. Thayer, Ph.D, authors of  Embracing Communist China: America's Greatest Strategic Failure.   Jim Fanell, a retired U.S. Navy captain and the former Director of Intelligence and Information Operations for the U.S. Pacific Fleet, is now a Government Fellow at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy.  Brad Thayer is an expert in Chinese grand strategies and the history of Chinese and Western strategic thought; and a former visiting fellow at Magdalen College, University of Oxford. “How did China go from an underdeveloped country in 1990 with about 0.6 of 1% of world gross domestic product to over 20% of world GDP today?” asks Brad. “The answer in large part is that the United States aided and abetted the rise of the Chinese Communist Party and kept it in power. That has never happened before in international politics where one state, the dominant state, has funded the rise of an enemy.” U.S. foreign policy toward the People's Republic of China (PRC) has been dominated by the so-called “Engagement School” since the end of the Cold War. They believed that U.S. political and economic engagement with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) would transform the PRC into a “responsible stakeholder” in the Western economic system and, ideally a democracy. Of course, none of that happened.   Instead, the Engagement School saved the CCP and ensured that the PRC became wealthier and more powerful year-after-year and used that power to re-make the international order to suit the CCP's interests and to threaten U.S. national security, allies, and partners.  “Engaging” with China has led to the offshoring of manufacturing jobs, the loss of intellectual property, and making the U.S. energy future dependent on China, just to name a few of our strategic blunders. “We thought we could make China and CCP become more like us, that they would see the value of the being part of a US dominated system created in the post-World War II era. We assumed they would just naturally drift into becoming a liberal democracy. So we didn't fundamentally understand communism. We didn't understand the Chinese Communist Party's commitment to that ideology,” explains Jim. The Trump administration began the difficult task of ending Engagement. However, under Biden, it has now returned in a supercharged form. The Biden “reset” began in earnest in May when CIA Director Nicholas Burns made a secret trip to Beijing to meet with his Chinese counterparts. Then began a cavalcade of visits to the PRC from senior Biden officials: Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Climate Czar John Kerry, and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo who was most explicit regarding why nothing could jeopardize the approximately $750 billion per year trade relationship with the PRC. “But the apotheosis of the engagement paradigm was the summit meeting in November between Xi and Biden. The meeting with Biden was just Xi's doormat to get to what really mattered: the meeting with the 400 business leaders,” explain Jim and Brad. “Never in our history have Americans so openly and brazenly celebrated a communist and murderous dictator. It was an appalling and shameful moment in American history.” “The U.S. has little to show in return for all these meetings, except for the loss of face and its own national power—again, year-after-year. It is stunning that so few Americans have asked what good has America received from the Engagement School. The elite have gotten wealthier, so they and the CCP are the winners. But it's the Chinese and American people that bear the costs.”

George Santos, R-N.Y., from Congress after the release of a damning report into the embattled Long Island Republican. "Chairman Guest feels that the evidence uncovered in the Committee’s investigation is more than sufficient to warrant punishment, and that the most appropriate punishment is expulsion," Republican Mississippi Rep. Michael Guest's personal office told Fox News Digital on Thursday. "So, separate from the Committee process and his role as Chairman, he plans to file an expulsion resolution during tomorrow’s 9:00 am pro forma session." The ethics committee released a damning report that accused Santos of having "used campaign funds for personal purposes" and "engaged in fraudulent conduct," among other allegations. Guest filing the resolution on Friday tees up an expected vote on whether to boot Santos from the House sometime after lawmakers return from the Thanksgiving break on Nov. 28. A 56-page deep dive into the allegations against Santos by the panel's Investigative subcommittee detailed campaign funds being spent at spas and luxury stores, among other questionable places. The bipartisan subcommittee unanimously agreed that Santos "knowingly caused his campaign committee to file false or incomplete reports with the Federal Election Commission; used campaign funds for personal purposes; engaged in fraudulent conduct in connection with RedStone Strategies LLC; and engaged in knowing and willful violations of the Ethics in Government Act as it relates to his Financial Disclosure (FD) Statements filed with the House." That includes $50,000 in campaign donations that were wired to Santos' personal account on Oct. 21, 2022, and allegedly used to, among other things, "pay down personal credit card bills and other debt; make a $4,127.80 purchase at Hermes; and for smaller purchases at OnlyFans; Sephora; and for meals and for parking." Santos also spent more than $2,200 at resorts in Atlantic City, New Jersey, from July 23, 2022, to July 24, 2022, according to the report, despite a staffer telling the subcommittee that "he was not aware of any events in Atlantic City and did not attend any campaign events in Atlantic City." Santos posted a lengthy response to the report on X, in which he announced he would not seek re-election in 2024 and accused the House Ethics Committee of bias. "If there was a single ounce of ETHICS in the ‘Ethics committee’, they would have not released this biased report. The Committee went to extraordinary lengths to smear myself and my legal team about me not being forthcoming (My legal bills suggest otherwise)," Santos wrote. "It is a disgusting politicized smear that shows the depths of how low our federal government has sunk. Everyone who participated in this grave miscarriage of Justice should all be ashamed of themselves." GOP lawmakers from New York previously moved to expel Santos earlier this month, but the effort failed along bipartisan lines. Most Democrats who said they voted to punt the measure explained they were waiting for the findings of the ethics committee report. https://dailycaller.com/2023/11/16/chinas-xi-receives-standing-ovation-american-business-leaders/ China’s Xi Receives Standing Ovation From American Business Leaders Chinese President Xi Jinping received a standing ovation from American business leaders during an exclusive dinner in San Francisco on Wednesday. Xi met with President Joe Biden on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) conference in San Francisco Wednesday and had talks on a broad range of issues, including military communications, fentanyl trafficking and Taiwan. During a private dinner in the city’s downtown Hyatt Regency hours later, Xi gave a speech about the need for China-U.S. cooperation and received praise from hundreds of high-level American business executives. “China is pursuing high-quality development, and the United States is revitalizing its economy,” Xi said during his speech. “There is plenty of room for our cooperation.” Among the leaders at the reception and dinner were Apple CEO Tim Cook, Blackrock CEO Larry Fink, Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk and a number of executives from FedEx, Qualcomm, KKR, Blackstone and Boeing, according to The Wall Street Journal. Tickets to attend the dinner started at $2,000 per person, up to $40,000 for a chance to dine with Xi at his table. “I think it’s important Americans and Chinese are meeting again face to face,” said managing director for China of McLarty Associates John L. Holden, who attended the dinner, according to The New York Times. “This is not a magic bullet, but it is something that can provide possibilities that wouldn’t exist otherwise.” “All of you here this evening remain keenly interested to do business in China, and to find ways to advance our bilateral economic relationship,” Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo told the audience at the dinner, CNBC reported. “I know that, because half of you have come to see me to tell me that.” During his speech, Xi claimed that China is “ready to be partners and friends” rather than adversaries with the U.S, according to the Times. He also evoked China’s history with the U.S., recalling American and Chinese cooperation to defeat the Japanese during World War II. Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom gifted Xi a Golden State Warriors Basketball jersey during the dinner, according to a Chinese Foreign Affairs spokesperson in attendance. In his meeting with Biden hours prior, Xi agreed to reestablish military-to-military communication lines with the U.S., which had been cut off in February. Xi also agreed to take steps to “dramatically curtail” the creation of fentanyl precursors created in China, which often end up in Mexico to be made into completed products and are subsequently trafficked into the U.S. Biden praised his Wednesday meeting with Xi and then called him a “dictator” minutes later. “Well, look, he is,” Biden said during a press conference Wednesday. Biden again calls Xi ‘dictator’ after Chinese prez warns against ‘turning back’ on Beijing-Play Clip The White House and China’s foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. https://www.foxnews.com/us/pro-palestinian-protesters-block-bridges-boston-san-francisco-rush-hour Pro-Palestinian protesters block bridges in Boston, San Francisco during rush hour Pro-Palestinian protesters blocked traffic on bridges in Boston and San Francisco during rush hour Thursday morning to call for a cease-fire in Gaza as Israel continues to target Hamas leadership more than a month after the militant group’s deadly incursion into Israel. On the Boston University bridge, the group IfNotNow, which says it represents members of Boston’s Jewish community, chanted "Cease-fire now!" and demanded that Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., support an immediate cease-fire and use her influence to stop the Israeli government’s military action in Gaza. The protest slowed traffic to a trickle on the bridge, which connects Boston and Cambridge, as the group held signs that said, "Let Gaza Live," and unfurled a banner across the roadway that read, "Jews say: Ceasefire now." "We care about Palestinian lives, we only want to hurt Hamas," one protester on the bridge told NBC Boston, while another said, "There can’t be peace for Jews unless there is peace for Palestinians." Meanwhile, Pro-Palestinian protesters also shut down the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, where President Biden was courting world leaders at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. The Arab Resource and Organizing Center planned the demonstration, in which protesters were heard shouting, "Free Palestine" and "We want justice." Others chained themselves to the bridge or lay in the road covered with sheets smeared with fake blood, FOX2 KTVU reported. Authorities had closed one lane on the bridge as a preventative measure during the summit, the station reported, citing the California Highway Patrol. Israel vowed to wipe out Hamas after the militant group launched its Oct. 7 surprise attack, in which at least 1,200 people died in Israel and around 240 were taken captive by militants back to Gaza. More than 11,200 Palestinians have been killed since the war began, according to the Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza. The protest came as Israeli forces dropped leaflets warning Palestinians to flee parts of southern Gaza, residents said Thursday, signaling a possible expansion of their offensive. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/11/15/nolte-miserable-chicagoans-drop-mayor-brandon-johnsons-approval-rating-to-28/ Miserable Chicagoans Drop Mayor Brandon Johnson’s Approval Rating to 28% In Wednesday’s glorious edition of Democrats Getting What They Voted For, newly elected Democrat Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has an approval rating of just 28 percent. Echelon Insights polled 800 registered voters in Chicago between October 18 and 22. So how is it possible that Johnson, who won a majority just seven short months ago, is now sitting with a dismal 28 percent approval rating, which is only one point higher than Lori Lightfoot (the sitting mayor he defeated) had in February 2023, which was only one month before she lost her reelection campaign? I think the answer to this disconnect is obvious. In Chicago, dead people can vote, but dead people cannot be polled over the telephone. When asked about Chicago’s worst issues, 69 percent of those polled said crime. That’s only a two-point decrease since February. Then came high taxes (31 percent) and homelessness (20 percent). Everything else was under 15 percent. When asked how Mayor Johnson is doing on those top three issues, only 21 percent approved of the job he’s doing on crime, while 66 percent disapproved. On economic development, only 32 percent approved, while 43 percent disapproved. On housing and homelessness, only 18 percent approved, while 63 percent disapproved. On the specific issue of “management of immigrants transported to the city,” only 23 percent approved, while 64 percent disapproved. This question relates directly to His Fraudulency, Joe Biden, throwing the southern border wide open to millions of unvetted, third-world illegal aliens. On that same question, living Chicago voters were asked, “How do you feel about Mayor Brandon Johnson’s proposed plan to house migrants in ‘base camps’ made up of large, heated tents in various parts of Chicago?” Only 28 percent approved, while 63 percent disapproved. Those who said they “strongly oppose” on this question made up nearly half, 46 percent. When asked if they supported or opposed Chicago’s status as a sanctuary city, a majority of 52 percent opposed, while 42 percent supported. In February 2023, the month before Chicago voted Lightfoot out, 28 percent said the city was headed in the right direction. That number has now dropped to just 20 percent, while 65 percent say things are headed in the wrong direction. Now that cash bail has been eliminated statewide, it hurts Chicago more than any other city. Only 35 percent of Chicagoans support that policy, but the Democrat governor who instituted that suicide pact won around 80 percent of the vote in Cook County, which is where Chicago sits. This poll tells us that Chicagoans are getting exactly what they voted for and are quite upset over it, which tells you just how damaged Democrats are.

China is looking to drop an economic bomb on the U.S. economy.  We see China selling off U.S Treasuries, to force interest rates up, and crush the American government's ability to pay that interest on treasuries.  Our national debt skyrockets again, thanks to China and the Chinese Communist Party's growing war on America.  Sadly, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo seems oblivious to China's motives to crush America.  She is naive in thinking the CCP can be trusted, it can't.The New Federal State of China's founder Miles Guo made a stark prediction about China's real motives and why it may purposefully tank its own economy to drop an economic bomb on ours.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Plastic is just about everywhere, and there’s going to be a lot more of it. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development expects global plastic use to triple by 2060. So what are we to do with all the waste? Tossing empty iced coffee cups, peanut butter jars and blueberry containers into a recycling bin might seem like the obvious solution. But while the plastics industry has been working hard to promote recycling as a fix since the ’70s, it turns out our recycling systems are not equipped to handle the various plastics we use. “Think of your own home. On top of your washing machine, you probably have a bright orange, hard plastic detergent bottle. And then in your refrigerator, you might have a squeezable clear ketchup bottle. Those two plastic containers cannot be recycled together,” said Judith Enck, founder of Beyond Plastics and former regional administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. On the show today: the fundamental problems with plastic recycling and the ubiquitous chasing-arrow symbol, and what we should do about it. Then, we’ll discuss Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo’s visit to China, and why it may be time for Chinese officials to make a visit of their own. And is Yahoo is making a comeback? Later, we'll hear some listeners' thoughts on robotaxis. And this week's answer to the Make Me Smart question comes from one of the economists behind our favorite nerdy econ game, Tradle. Here’s everything we talked about today: “Plastic Recycling Doesn’t Work and Will Never Work” from The Atlantic “Toward a circular economy: Tackling the plastics recycling problem” from The Conversation “The recycling myth: A plastic waste solution littered with failure” from Reuters “Decades of public messages about recycling in the US have crowded out more sustainable ways to manage waste” from The Conversation “The Plastics Industry’s Long Fight to Blame Pollution on You” from Tahe Intercept “What a reporter learned after cataloging her plastic use for a week” from Marketplace “UN Agency Provides Path to 80 Percent Reduction in Plastic Waste. Recycling Alone Won't Cut It” from Inside Climate News “U.S. Does Not Want to ‘Decouple' From China, Raimondo Says” from The New York Times “How Yahoo is coming back from the dead” from Axios We want to hear your answer to the Make Me Smart question.

On June 16, the U.S. State Department discovered unauthorized access to its Exchange Online email services and reported it to Microsoft. Almost a month later, on July 11, Microsoft disclosed the attack, and attributed it to a China-based threat actor, which they call Storm-0558.
