Last month, Conn-Selmer – a manufacturer that's said to be the last to produce brass musical instruments in the United States – announced that it would be closing its plant in Eastlake, Ohio.And while it's not exactly an unfamiliar story, this situation has a bit of an interesting twist: the production is reportedly going to a Conn-Selmer plant in China, and the company's owner, John Paulson, has been an outspoken critic of offshoring.On the line are 150 union jobs and Conn-Selmer workers, members of UAW Local 2359, are predicted to lose their positions at the end of June. According to the union, they'd planned to bargain a new contract last month when, instead, they were told the plant would close. Leaders called it “a slap in the face.”A recent report by the BBC cited union workers who claimed Conn-Selmer has had a plan in the works for a while. They said the company opened a new facility in China last year and the Ohio plant's workload gradually began to shift overseas – even though workers were allegedly told that the China plant would not have an impact on the U.S. factory's workload.#ConnSelmer, #ManufacturingNews, #Offshoring, #USManufacturing, #MadeInUSA, #FactoryClosure, #UnionJobs, #UAW, #OhioManufacturing, #BrassInstruments, #MusicIndustry, #JobLoss, #LaborNews, #SupplyChain, #ChinaManufacturing, #IndustrialNews, #AmericanJobs, #EconomicNews, #PlantClosure, #ManufacturingIndustry, #CNBC, #BBCNews

Mike Covers Trump's Address and the Morning's Economic News

I know you shouldn't count your chickens before they hatch, but can we just take a minute to look at the good economic news coming out? Government books aside, tomorrow's GDP read will show we bounced back with a spring in Q3 - close to 1 percent growth, they reckon. What's more, that shocking read for Q2 should be revised down because it wasn't actually as bad as the topline number we were given to begin with. Today, consumer confidence is on the rebound. This is according to the Westpac McDermott Miller survey. It's up 5.6 points - to its highest level this year. Still slightly below 100 - which means more are still glass-half empty than full, but it's going in the right direction. As are Seek job ads and as are most of the numbers that move first when a recovery is underway. Now, I say all of this completely aware that we've been here before and fired a blank. We've had many a false dawn and false start. But barring any major cock-ups, this recovery feels like its real and happening. The missing ingredient of course is house prices, which are either sideways or backwards for most regions. That's the liquor in your Irish coffee that really gets things moving on the economic front. But this recovery will happen without it. It won't be soaring property prices that give birth this recovery, it won't start in an auction room with the hammer going down on a $44 million two-beddy in Sandringham. What's going to drive this recovery, and make it a very gradual one, is confidence in our agricultural exporters, our lower mortgage rates, and, I think - more than anything - a feeling that we're just sick of being in this position. The ironic truth of it is that in order to get us out of the malaise, we must spend money, rather than save it. We must go out and buy stuff. So this Christmas, take that confidence to your nearest shopping mall. Tonight, I'm doing exactly that. Westfield is open till 10pm. I've found a tent, I've been eyeing it up today, and I'm ready to push play on summer and on spending and an economic Christmas miracle.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers China's interference in the New York City mayoral race, the stalled government funding battle in Washington, new data showing a resilient U.S. economy, dangerous foreign truck drivers on American roads, and spy games unfolding in Silicon Valley.   China Meddles in the NYC Mayoral Race: The Chinese Communist Party is boosting socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani on TikTok while suppressing content from rival Andrew Cuomo. Bryan calls it “bonkers” that America still allows a Chinese propaganda platform to shape its elections and urges Congress to shut it down immediately.   Democrats Block Government Funding Again: The Senate has now voted twelve times to reopen the government, and twelve times Democrats have said no — rejecting a bill to pay essential workers unless new health subsidies are included. Bryan says, “They're holding America's workers hostage for political gain.”   U.S. Economy Beats Expectations: Manufacturing activity rose for the fourth straight month, and Trump's tariffs show no inflationary impact. Mortgage rates dropped to 6.19%, their lowest of the year, while consumer spending remains strong among wealthier households. Bryan warns, however, that working-class families are still struggling under high costs.   Chinese Knockoff Airbags Kill Americans: At least six people have died after counterfeit Chinese airbags exploded during crashes, sending shrapnel through vehicles. The NHTSA is investigating, with cases tied to used Chevys and Hyundais.   Foreign Trucker Crisis Deepens: Indian nationals driving illegally in the U.S. are causing deadly crashes after repeatedly failing licensing tests. Bryan reports on one driver who failed ten times but still obtained a CDL through a corrupt Washington State program.   Silicon Valley Honeypot Spies: China and Russia are planting operatives — often young women — inside Bay Area tech firms to steal AI and defense secrets through seduction and marriage. Bryan shares a chilling real-life CIA story illustrating the tactic's human toll.   AI and the Power Problem: OpenAI's massive Texas data center will now run on its own natural gas plant, while the White House expands geothermal energy projects across the West. Bryan calls it “good news for your electric bill — and bad news for America's enemies.”   Good News for U.S. Workers: Provalus, a call center company, is bringing jobs back from India to rural America, paying $40,000 salaries for customer service roles. Bryan says, “It's proof that good business and good patriotism can live in the same company.”   Medical News — Social Media and the Brain: New research shows teens who spend more time on social media score lower in reading and memory tests, suggesting digital overstimulation harms brain development.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Keywords: TikTok China interference NYC mayor race, Zohran Mamdani Andrew Cuomo, Senate Democrats block funding bill, Trump tariffs manufacturing growth, U.S. mortgage rates 6.19, Chinese counterfeit airbags NHTSA, illegal Indian truck drivers Washington State CDL, Silicon Valley honeypot spies China Russia, OpenAI Stargate Texas natural gas, geothermal energy leases Nevada Idaho, Provalus rural call centers jobs, social media brain research teenagers

In today's episode, we cover Make-or-Break Week for the Economy From tech company earnings to job reports, inflation data, and a critical Fed meeting, this week will set the tone for the rest of the year. President Trump also just landed a major trade win with the EU that could reshape global commerce and inject billions into the U.S. economy. New EU Trade Deal Brings Cash and Concessions The European Union agrees to a sweeping deal with the U.S., 15% tariffs on European goods, zero tariffs on American exports, and massive European investments in American energy and manufacturing. Trump's team calls it a “sovereign wealth fund without the oil.” Humanoid Robots for $5,500 A Chinese firm unveils a Jetsons-style household robot that's both affordable and autonomous. The rise of cheap, AI-infused machines signals a major shift in labor markets and a looming culture war over their place in society.

After a flood of backlash, the airline denies the plan, but lawmakers are already drafting legislation to ban it. Chinese Spy Ship Off Alaska The U.S. Coast Guard catches a Chinese “research vessel” inside American maritime territory in the Arctic. Experts warn it's part espionage mission, part probe of U.S. response times, reviving concerns about coastal security and covert tech threats. Gaza Aid Blocked, Tensions High Secretary of State Rubio calls for a strategy overhaul as Hamas continues to block humanitarian aid and hold hostages. Israel pauses combat operations while launching aid drops, but the White House signals that Hamas's days may be numbered.

Trump steps in, warning both sides to cease fire or face punishing tariffs. The region watches closely as China backs Cambodia and the U.S. leans toward treaty ally Thailand.

Alligator Alcatraz and ICE Raids Spark National Debate Polling shows over 60% of Americans support deportations, including a growing number of Hispanic voters. At Florida's “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center, migrants complain about conditions, while LA officials criticize ongoing ICE raids. Meanwhile, left-wing attacks on ICE officers escalate, and Democrat senators propose unmasking agents. President Trump slams the idea, calling it dangerous and un-American. Trump Offers Tariff Discounts to African Nations That Accept Deportees President Trump is using tariff policy to pressure countries to accept U.S. deportees. In a bid to ease deportation backlogs, he offers lower tariffs and increased investment to African nations like Gabon, Senegal, and Guinea-Bissau if they agree to resettle illegal migrants. Some leaders appear open, especially where economic incentives align with rare earth mineral access. Brazil Tariffs Escalate as Trump Responds to Free Speech Crackdown Trump imposes a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods in response to President Lula's treatment of former conservative leader Jair Bolsonaro. Brazil threatens retaliation, which could affect prices for key imports like coffee, beef, and rare earths. Bryan supports Trump's leverage strategy but cautions against alienating allies without diplomatic finesse. Tariffs Not Driving Inflation, But Price Pressures May Be Coming Despite fears, Axios reports that tariffs have not significantly raised consumer prices. Most U.S. companies are absorbing the costs or adapting supply chains. However, 77% say they may raise prices within six months. Bryan celebrates being right about his “Costco analogy” and urges listeners to watch corporate earnings next week for updates. Microsoft Lays Off Americans, Hires Foreign Workers, and Embraces AI Microsoft plans to lay off 15,000 U.S. workers while replacing them with AI and 14,000 foreign hires, mostly from China and India, via H-1B visas. Critics argue the program is abused to undercut American wages. Bryan warns of growing youth unemployment and calls for policy changes before AI and outsourcing further erode the U.S. labor market.

Trump's Five Bucket Strategy appears to be paying off, with reshoring announcements from GM and new investments in American nuclear energy. Tariff Court Ruling and China Deal Reshape Trade Landscape A U.S. appeals court allows Trump's tariffs to stay in place through July 31, buying time for ongoing negotiations. A new U.S.-China deal sets tariffs at 55 percent for Chinese goods and 10 percent for American exports. China resumes rare earth shipments and regains student visa access, though FBI officials remain concerned about security risks. Leftist Riots in LA and AOC's Dismissive Response Riots continue in Los Angeles, though quieter for now. Trump ramps up ICE arrests. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez downplays the violence as “kids throwing rocks,” despite Molotov cocktails and injuries. GOP lawmakers and the DOJ are investigating who is funding the unrest. Trump Welcomes Legal Immigrants President Trump releases a new video message to naturalized citizens, offering encouragement and affirming they are “part of the American family.” His remarks come amid deportation efforts targeting illegal immigrants. Middle East Tensions Rise Over Iran and Qatar Jet Deal Qatar has not yet transferred the promised 747 to Trump for Air Force One. Meanwhile, U.S. embassies in the region prepare for possible Iranian missile strikes. Some military dependents and diplomats are being evacuated, as peace talks appear to be collapsing. Xi Jinping Launches Austerity Crackdown Ahead of Possible War China's president is disciplining party members for luxury spending as he prepares the nation for economic hardship and possible military conflict.
