Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down Trump's chaotic attempt to rebrand the economy as he mocks “affordability,” confuses inflation with deflation, and delivers a meandering Pennsylvania rally full of distortions. They examine how Americans view Trump's economic record compared to the end of the Biden presidency and why his messaging isn't matching voters' lived experiences. Kander and Gupta also dig into Trump's $12 billion farm bailout sparked by his own tariffs, and the criticism that foreign competitors—not American farmers—benefited most. They explore Trump's push for a sweeping national AI rule to override state protections, as well as his surprising reversal on advanced chip exports to China. Plus, they look at Miami's first Democratic mayor in decades, the GOP's internal fight over Obamacare subsidies, and escalating MAGA infighting heading into 2026.

This morning, Don is taking a hard look at the state of the economy, and let's be honest, it's bad. Prices keep climbing, families are feeling the squeeze, and according to a new AP-NORC poll, Donald Trump's approval ratings are continuing to fall. Despite the mounting evidence, the Trump administration is still insisting everything is fine. Reality says otherwise. Then we pivot to breaking news out of Congress: Marjorie Taylor Greene is reportedly trying to oust Speaker Mike Johnson on her way out the door. Yes, really. Even as she prepares to leave Congress, she's lighting one last match, and the MAGA infighting just keeps devouring itself. Economic denial. Political chaos. A movement eating its own.

In this episode of America's Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano uncovers the forgotten story of Tench Coxe, the hidden economic architect who helped secure America's independence. From his unlikely transformation from Loyalist sympathizer to patriot strategist, to his fierce push for American manufacturing, to his powerful defense of the right to keep and bear arms, Coxe shaped the foundations of the nation far more than history remembers. His warnings about foreign economic dependence and the loss of individual self-reliance speak directly to the challenges America faces today. This compelling narrative brings Coxe's influence to life and shows why his ideas are essential for understanding the past and protecting our future. Episode Highlights: How Tench Coxe helped build the economic backbone that allowed the United States to survive and thrive Coxe's powerful defense of the Second Amendment and the role of an armed citizenry Why Coxe's warnings about dependency and national weakness are more relevant than ever today  

The modern West is in decline. Economic stagnation, rising tax burdens, moral disorientation, political corruption, bloated bureaucracies, and soaring levels of poverty, drug addiction and homelessness, all point to a faltering civilization. While many agree that the West is faltering, explanations as to why vary; some blame the collapse of religion and the loss of […] The post Why Weak People Create Hard Times – The Biological Decline of the West first appeared on Academy of Ideas.

So here's what we're wrestling with in this episode: What if economics isn't just a topic theology comments on, but actually the bigger framework that shapes what's theologically possible? That's the question that sent Brian McLaren searching, and it's what led him—and us—to the Japanese philosopher Kojin Karatani and his game-changing framework about modes of exchange laid out in his book, The Structure of World History We're talking about how nation, state, and capital work together as these integrated energies, and how if you try to critique just one without seeing the others, you end up reproducing the very thing you're trying to escape. The biblical narrative becomes this fascinating case study—starting with naked hunter-gatherers in a garden with no religion, state, or market, and ending with the New Jerusalem coming down with no need for a temple. And maybe, just maybe, understanding these modes of exchange—the symbolic, the coercive, the economic—helps us see what kind of future we're actually moving toward. It's the kind of conversation that makes you realize the church's learned ignorance about economics might be the source of its greatest spiritual crisis, and you know what? That's worth paying attention to. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube You can find the YouTube playlist of videos outlining Karatani's work here. Joining me for this conversation is... Guillermo Bervejillo is an economic geographer and community organizer who bridges critical theory and social movement practice.

PREVIEW — Steve Yates (Heritage Foundation) — Beijing's "Wolf Warrior" Aggression and Regional Economic Threat. Yates analyzes Beijing's escalating "wolf warrior" diplomatic aggression directed at Japan and the broader Indo-Pacific region, characterizing this as systematic coercive pressure combining military intimidation with economic and informational warfare. Yates argues that China's blended military and civilian-sector capabilities threaten control over approximately 50% of global container shipping traffic and maritime commerce, transforming this geopolitical conflict from an internal Chinese regional matter into a pressing global economic and security crisis affecting international commerce, supply chains, and energy security. Yates warns that Beijing's coercive strategy represents a fundamental threat to rules-based international commerce and global economic stability transcending bilateral China-Japan relations.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 The Trump Corollary: Reasserting Influence in the Western Hemisphere: Colleague Mary Kissel analyzes the new National Security Strategy, praising its focus on the Western Hemisphere to counter Russian and Chinese influence in Venezuela and Cuba, warning against accepting separate global spheres of influence and emphasizing that the U.S. faces a coordinated threat from China, Russia, and Iran globally. 1015-1030 Europe's Defense Dilemma and Demographic Decline: Colleague Mary Kissel attributes Europe's inability to fund Ukraine's defense to decades of relying on U.S. protection while prioritizing generous welfare states, citing "scary statistics" regarding France's aging population and pension burdens, arguing that Europe must pursue economic growth rather than government handouts to survive security challenges. 1030-1045 Europe's Economic Stagnation and the Innovation Gap: Colleague Joseph Sternberg discusses Europe's economic decline relative to the U.S., driven by high energy costs and excessive regulation, noting a growing debate in Brussels about deregulation but arguing Europe lacks a unified vision to encourage the entrepreneurship and healthcare innovation seen in the American system. 1045-1100 Angela Rayner's Return and Labour's Economic Struggles: Colleague Joseph Sternberg analyzes the political return of Angela Rayner and her push for a "workers rights bill" despite Prime Minister Starmer's plummeting popularity, arguing this move highlights internal Labour Party conflict and risks imposing policies detrimental to an economy already struggling with inflation and stagnation.THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Paul Manafort and the Origins of Modern Foreign Lobbying: Colleague Ken Vogel chronicles how Paul Manafort revolutionized the lobbying industry by merging political consulting with foreign representation, creating a model later adopted by Tony Podesta and others, explaining how the fall of Ukraine's Yanukovych and subsequent investigations exposed the industry's widespread failure to comply with FARA regulations. 1115-1130 Robert Stryk's Risky Lobbying Missions in Somalia and Venezuela: Colleague Ken Vogel details lobbyist Robert Stryk's dangerous mission to Mogadishu to secure U.S. aid for Somalia's President Farmajo during the Trump administration, also describing Stryk's controversial efforts to represent Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, illustrating the lucrative and often perilous nature of foreign influence peddling in unstable regions. 1130-1145 The Revolving Door: Democratic Insiders and Foreign Influence: Colleague Ken Vogel explains how Democratic operatives like Anita Dunn and Antony Blinken leveraged government experience for lucrative consulting roles at firms like SKDK and WestExec, also discussing Hunter Biden's pardon regarding Chinese business dealings and Robert Stryk's representation of sanctioned Russian defense executives. 1145-1200 The Decline of FARA Enforcement and Politicized Justice: Colleague Ken Vogel argues that enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act is weakening, citing Rudy Giuliani's work for sanctioned Balkan leaders and Attorney General Pam Bondi's potential decriminalization of FARA, suggesting the U.S. is returning to a "Wild West" era of unregulated foreign influence where laws are flouted. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Reviving the Monroe Doctrine via the Trump Corollary: Colleague Gregory Copley analyzes the Trump administration's National Security Strategy, which reasserts the Monroe Doctrine to counter Chinese and Russian influence in the Western Hemisphere, arguing that "gunboat diplomacy" off Venezuela effectively restores U.S. sovereignty, signaling a shift toward self-reliance and away from traditional alliances like NATO. 1215-1230 European Leaders Scramble to Support Ukraine Amidst Domestic Crises: Colleague Gregory Copley discusses the meeting between UK, French, and German leaders with Zelenskyy, noting they are using the Ukraine war to distract from domestic political failures, tracing Europe's defense dependency to U.S. post-WWII policies and suggesting Zelenskyy is leveraging European fears against Washington to secure his future. 1230-1245 The Strategic Implosion of China and Global Realignments: Colleague Gregory Copley asserts that the People's Republic of China has strategically collapsed due to economic failure and demographic decline, claiming Xi Jinping is no longer effectively in power, noting that Russia is distancing itself from Beijing and Western leaders like Albanese are pivoting back toward Washington. 1245-100 AM King Charles, Environmental Realism, and UK Political Instability: Colleague Gregory Copley observes that King Charles avoids political climate statements despite Bill Gates' recent realism regarding environmental alarmism, discussing political instability in the UK and suggesting Prime Minister Starmer faces challenges from the left that could force new elections, potentially benefiting reformists like Nigel Farage.

Keywords Diabetes, D-PAC, Medicare, GLP-1 medications, patient advocacy, healthcare access, insulin pumps, CGMs, diabetes technology, legislative reform AI info below: Summary In this conversation, George Huntley, CEO of the Diabetes Patient Advocacy Coalition (D-PAC), discusses the critical role of advocacy in improving diabetes care and access to technology. He highlights the challenges faced by patients, particularly regarding Medicare coverage for insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), and the implications of recent legislative changes. The discussion also covers the potential of GLP-1 medications in diabetes management and the importance of patient stories in advocacy efforts. Takeaways D-PAC focuses on affordable and equitable access to diabetes care. Advocacy is crucial for influencing healthcare policies. Competitive bidding for diabetes technology could limit access for seniors. Patient stories are essential in legislative advocacy. GLP-1 medications show promise in reshaping diabetes treatment. Economic factors play a significant role in healthcare access. The aging population of type 1 diabetes patients requires urgent attention. Collaboration among advocacy groups is vital for success. Healthcare costs are driven more by major medical expenses than by drug prices. Continued advocacy is necessary to protect patient access to care.

The Donald Trump administration revealed the US empire's new plan for global dominance in the 2025 National Security Strategy. The goal is to impose hegemony in the Western Hemisphere, reviving the colonial Monroe Doctrine, to move supply chains out of Asia and bring manufacturing into Latin America via "nearshoring", in order to economically decouple from China and prepare for conflict in Cold War Two. Ben Norton analyzes the important document.

EU Integration as Deeper Western Engagement Than NATO — Anatol Lieven — Lieven argues that European Union membership offers Ukraine more comprehensive integration into Western institutional and economic structures than NATO alliance membership alone, though EU accession requires massive institutional economic reforms and governance restructuring. Lieven documents that Russia strategically demands that Ukraine conduct new democratic elections to validate peace settlements and ensure regime commitment to negotiated agreements. Lieven notes the strategic paradox that the United States conspicuously avoids pushing for electoral validation that could provide democratic legitimacy to negotiated territorial compromises. 1936 MUNICH
