By almost all accounts, the historic trade deal that was reached between the United States and the 27 nations of the European Union is far better for the United States than it is for Europe.Jeanna Smialek, the Brussels bureau chief for The Times, explains why the European Union gave in to President Trump and the blowback that's causing.Guest: Jeanna Smialek, the Brussels bureau chief for The New York Times.Background reading: Is the European Union's tariff deal with the United States good for Europe?The framework agreement is not likely to do much for economic growth on either side.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Europe didn't do a anything to take on Hamas after the October 7th attacks, instead they push Israel to surrender.  Europe is historically tied to evils like the Holocaust, Nazism, Stalinism, and Marxism, now conquered by radical Islamists through open borders. The Biden administration, Democrats, left-wing forces in media/academia, and isolationists undermined Israel, who could have ended the war sooner without interference. What's happening in Gaza is that people are going without food. Why? Israel isn't starving them. This is a last desperate move by Hamas to save itself by slaughtering its own people. Later, EPIC City, a proposed Muslim-focused community in Texas initiated by the East Plano Islamic Center, is still raising concerns about potential Sharia law governance and "no-go zones." It prompted investigations by Texas officials and the Justice Department, though the federal probe closed as the project remains in planning.  These developments should be opposed to preserve American values. There is an incompatibility of Marxism and fundamentalist Islamism with American values. America was founded on Judeo-Christian beliefs fused with Enlightenment ideals like limited power, representative government, and individual sovereignty under God. Those like Zohran Mamdani, Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and AOC are hypocrites for living luxuriously while promoting Marxism, Islamism, anti-Semitism, and anti-Americanism. They employ negative language as a tool for thought control, enforcing uniformity and ideological conformity rather than open debate.  In breaking news, a gunman armed with a rifle stormed a NYC Midtown skyscraper opening fire and killing at least five people, including one NYPD officer, while injuring several others. The suspect barricaded himself on the 33rd floor, where he was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound amid other victims. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In today's episode, we cover Democrats Admit Trump's Tariffs Worked Even liberal voices like Bill Maher now acknowledge that Trump's tariffs didn't tank the economy, despite widespread predictions of disaster. Meanwhile, Europe is reeling from the new U.S.-EU trade deal, calling it a humiliation and bracing for economic pain. Democrats Hit Lowest Approval in 35 Years A new Wall Street Journal poll shows the Democratic Party at its lowest favorability since 1990. Senator Mark Kelly blames messaging, but Bryan highlights six stunning stories, from migrant crime to teacher union extremism, that point to deeply unpopular policies. Nuclear Warning to Putin President Trump authorizes the transfer of U.S. nuclear weapons to a base in the UK and gives Vladimir Putin a 10–12 day deadline to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine. New tariffs, and possibly more, are on the table if Moscow fails to comply. Russia Restarts Flights to North Korea A direct air route opens between Moscow and Pyongyang for the first time in 30 years. While publicized as tourism, analysts warn it may serve as a covert weapons pipeline, just as Trump escalates nuclear posturing in Europe. Zelensky Retreats on Anti-Corruption Rollback After global backlash and pressure from the White House, Ukraine's president backpedals on a controversial move to weaken anti-corruption agencies. Still, the episode deepens Western mistrust of Kyiv's leadership.

AI adoption, dollar weakness and tax savings from the Big Beautiful Bill are some of the factors boosting our CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson's confidence in U.S. stocks.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. Today on the podcast I will discuss what's driving my optimism on stocks. It's Tuesday, July 29th at 11:30am in New York. So, let's get after it. Over the past few weeks, I have been leaning more toward our bull case of 7200 for the S&P 500 by the middle of next year. This view is largely based on a more resilient earnings and cash flow backdrop than anticipated. The drivers are numerous and include positive operating leverage, AI adoption, dollar weakness, cash tax savings from the Big Beautiful Bill, and easy growth comparisons and pent-up demand for many sectors in the market. While many are still focused on tariffs as a headwind to growth, our analysis shows that tariff cost exposures for S&P 500 industry groups is fairly contained given the countries in scope and the exemptions that are still in place from the USMCA. Meanwhile, deals are being signed with our largest trading partners like Japan and Europe that appear favorable to the U.S. Due to the lack of pricing power, the main area of risk in the stock market from tariffs is consumer goods; and that's why we remain underweight that sector. However, the main tariff takeaway for investors is that the rate of change on policy uncertainty peaked in early April. This is the primary reason why earnings guidance bottomed in April as evidenced by the significant inflection higher in earnings revisions breadth—the key fundamental factor that we have been focused on. Of course, the near-term set up is not without risks. These include still high long-term interest rates, tariff-related inflation and potential margin pressure. As a result, a correction is possible during the seasonally weak third quarter, but pull-backs should be shallow and bought. In addition to the growth tailwinds already cited, it's worth pointing out that many companies also face very easy growth comparisons. I've had a long standing out of consensus view that the U.S. has been experiencing a rolling recession for the last three years. This fits with the fact that much of the soft economic data that has been hovering in recession territory for much of that period as well—things like purchasing manager indices, consumer confidence, and the private labor market. It also aligns with my long-standing view that government spending has helped to keep the headline economic growth statistics strong, while much of the private sector and many consumers have been crowded out by that heavy spending which has also kept the Fed too tight. Meanwhile, private sector wage growth has been in a steady decline over the last several years, and payroll growth across Tech, Financials and Business Services has been negative – until recently. Conversely, Government and Education/Health Services payroll growth has been much stronger over this time horizon. This type of wage growth and sluggish payroll growth in the private sector is typical of an early cycle backdrop. It's a key reason why operating leverage inflects in early cycle environments, and margins expand. Our earnings model is picking up on this underappreciated dynamic, and AI adoption is likely to accelerate this phenomenon. In short, this is looking more and more like an early cycle set up where leaner cost structures drive positive operating leverage after an extended period of wage growth consolidation. Bottom line, the capitulatory price action and earnings estimate cuts we saw in April of this year around Liberation Day represented the end of a rolling recession that began in 2022. Markets bottom on bad news and we are transitioning from that rolling earnings recession backdrop to a rolling recovery environment. The combination of positive earnings and cash flow drivers with the easy growth comparisons fostered by the rolling EPS recession and the high probability of the Fed re-starting the cutting cycle by the first quarter of next year should facilitate this transition. The upward inflection we're seeing in earnings revisions breadth confirms this process is well underway and suggests returns for the average stock are likely to be strong over the next 12-months. In short, buy any dips that may occur in the seasonally weak quarter of the year. Thanks for tuning in; I hope you found it informative and useful. Let us know what you think by leaving us a review.

Can healing yourself really help heal the world?This week, Thomas sits down with Amandine Roche, a human rights and women's empowerment expert with more than 20 years of experience with the United Nations and European Union. Amandine's extensive work in conflict zones worldwide was driven by a deep, personal quest for healing from childhood trauma. But the work itself took a toll on her mental and physical health, leading her on a journey of healing that uncovered an essential core truth that she now works to spread: we must have inner peace if we want to work for outer peace.Amandine shares beautifully honest details from her own personal struggles and offers a unique perspective on embracing femininity in human rights work and all forms of leadership. She and Thomas explore the need for collective spaces and new skills to digest world events and prevent the repetition of painful social and political patterns.It's an empowering conversation that highlights the absolute necessity of self-alignment and inner healing in humanitarian work and any type of effort toward peace and harmony in a world in crisis.✨ Click here to watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:

Join Jim and Greg for Monday's 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the steep drop in violent crime in Baltimore, President Trump's new trade deal with the European Union, and a bizarre lawsuit blaming the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels for terrorizing a cat in its final days.First, they examine the dramatic decrease in Baltimore's murder rate since voters ousted soft-on-crime prosecutor Marilyn Mosby in the 2022 Democratic primary. Her replacement, Ivan Bates, pledged a return to aggressive prosecutions, and the numbers show it's working. Under Mosby, there were 334 murders in 2022. Last year, the total dropped to 202, and the city has recorded just 68 homicides so far in 2024. Jim and Greg argue it's no mystery what's driving the improvement.Next, they dissect President Trump's trade agreement with the European Union, which includes lowered tariffs and major commitments from Europe to buy U.S. energy and weapons. Jim says this deal is a significant relief given what would have happened later this week without a deal. But he's still concerned that American consumers will end up paying more for a lot of things.Finally, they lambaste the crazy cat lady, who decided to sue the Blue Angels for disturbing the final days of her cat, as it died from heart disease. Jim is flabbergasted that anyone could blame the progression of heart disease on noise from planes. He's also greatly annoyed that the lady is referred to as that cat's "human mother" in news reports.Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

As mainstream media accused Donald Trump of misusing taxpayer funds for a luxury golf vacation in Scotland, the former president shocked critics by unveiling a historic $1.2 trillion trade agreement. The deal includes $750 billion in U.S. energy exports to Europe, $600 billion in European investment in America, and unprecedented tariff parity. The hosts dissect the media's failed narrative, contrast Trump's pro-America economic strategy with the globalist “Uniparty,” and warn of the deep state's escalating battle against him. Also on the horizon: new revelations in the Epstein case.

The long-buried truth behind the Russia collusion narrative is finally coming to light. In this explosive segment, hosts dive into recent revelations from former Congressman Devin Nunes, who confirms that top Republicans knew in 2017 the Trump-Russia conspiracy was a hoax—but it was hidden behind classification. From the weaponization of the FBI and CIA under Comey and Brennan, to the Mar-a-Lago raid's true purpose—seizing intelligence Trump may have kept—this episode reveals how the intelligence community allegedly conspired to protect Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump. Also covered: America's stark contrast with Europe in defending citizens against violent attacks, and why the fight for justice may just be beginning.

A devastating car crash in Wisconsin exposes the deadly cost of sanctuary policies, as an illegal immigrant with a prior DUI kills two teenagers while driving drunk—despite a standing ICE detainer. The tragedy ignites outrage over Democrat-run jurisdictions that prioritize politics over public safety. Meanwhile, Trump-era intelligence leaders are dismantling the Russia collusion hoax, revealing it was a Hillary Clinton–approved smear campaign buried by Brennan, Comey, and Obama's inner circle. Across the Atlantic, Europe descends into authoritarianism as the UK launches a government-backed censorship force to arrest citizens for criticizing migrant crime. Yet Donald Trump, standing beside UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, says what Brits now risk prison time for merely posting online. From lawless immigration to weaponized intelligence and mass censorship, the fight for truth and sovereignty has never been more urgent.

As surveillance technology tightens its grip on everyday life—from Ring cameras to vehicle GPS and genetic databases—committing murder and getting away with it has become nearly impossible in populated areas. This thought-provoking monologue explores how killers may increasingly target remote locations like national and state parks to evade detection, citing a tragic double homicide in Arkansas's Devil's Den State Park. The discussion touches on groundbreaking crime-solving techniques, the inevitability of digital footprints, and why rural America may become the new front line in violent crime. Plus, a sharp detour into Europe's energy crisis and media bias, capped by a bizarre story tying deviant criminal behavior to political hypocrisy.

This fiery commentary dissects how mainstream financial experts and media outlets—from The Wall Street Journal to Fox Business—predicted economic disaster under Trump's tariff policies, only to be proven wrong by record-breaking stock market highs and historic trade victories. It highlights Trump's renegotiation of global trade agreements, the transformation of NATO funding, and Europe's reluctant reckoning with its own defense spending. The conversation also exposes media bias, government overspending in Ukraine, and the alleged misuse of U.S. aid—all wrapped in a narrative of vindicated economic nationalism and elite accountability.

Financial elites, media pundits, and globalists warned of economic catastrophe—predicting a Great Depression-level crash, runaway inflation, and global fallout from Trump's tariffs. But they were wrong. In this sharp rebuke of conventional wisdom, the transcript reveals how Trump's bold trade moves led to record stock market highs, the largest trade deal in history, and a long-overdue end to post-WWII economic imbalances. Europe opened its $20 trillion market, accepted U.S. industrial standards, and agreed to major energy purchases—all because Trump dared to question the system. The conversation also unpacks NATO reform, European defense dependence, and how Ukraine's corruption is finally triggering EU backlash—now that it's their money on the line.

A bold, unapologetic breakdown of how Donald Trump's economic and foreign policy strategies defied expert predictions and rewrote global norms. From the media's dire warnings about tariffs and inflation to the reality of booming stock markets and record-setting trade deals, the narrative challenges the mainstream consensus. The segments delve into Trump's overhaul of U.S.-Europe trade relations, NATO funding, and military accountability, while exposing corruption concerns in Ukraine and the shifting financial burden to the European Union. Through it all, the transcripts highlight the deep disconnect between political elites, media narratives, and unfolding geopolitical realities.

Financial elites and media pundits warned of catastrophe—but the collapse never came. Instead, Donald Trump's post-“Liberation Day” tariffs helped usher in historic economic success, including a record-breaking stock market and the largest trade deal in U.S. history. In this episode, hosts debunk doomsday predictions from outlets like The Wall Street Journal and Fox Business, highlighting Trump's bold realignment of global trade, NATO accountability, and energy independence. They also spotlight Europe's sudden concern over Ukrainian corruption—now that it's their money on the line. This isn't just a policy shift—it's the end of post-WWII trade imbalance and the beginning of a new American-centered economic era.

Undr The Cosh is back for Season 21 (maybe 22…) and we're kicking things off with legendary ref Mark Clattenburg. Clattenburg opens up about his biggest refereeing mistake, involving our own Chris Brown, and breaks down what it was really like to ref the biggest games in football including Champions League finals, FA Cup finals, and facing the wrath of top Premier League managers. Digging into the mind games managers like Jurgen Klopp played and why Clattenburg says Klopp was one of the strangest managers he ever dealt with following a run in they had at Dortmund and Liverpool. While at the top of his game the Chelsea racism scandal involving John Obi Mikelnearly ended his career and why he believes it was payback for the fallout from John Terry and Anton Ferdinand Since retiring from referring Clattenburg has gone onto to work at Nottingham Forest as well as bringing clarity to what his role was there we dig into the chaos which was caused by the tweet from Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis following the game against Everton. Plus, he addresses Danny Simpson's claim that he wanted Leicester City to win the league, the truth about player manipulation, and the weirdest “gifts” he was offered in Europe and beyond. Huge thanks for Mark for coming and make sure you check out his podcast Whistleblowers. https://www.youtube.com/@WhistleblowersPodcast

On July 7th, Gerard and Laurent were invited to appear on the U.S. podcast Open Circuit, alongside Jigar Shah, Katherine Hamilton, and Stephen Lacey. It was an emotional reunion—Jigar and Katherine were part of the original Energy Gang, the very show that inspired us to create our own.We had a rich, two-part conversation. The first part revisited the Spanish blackouts, a topic we had already explored in Episode 185. The second part delved into Europe's energy security and the evolving dynamic between “Petrostates” and “Electrostates”—the main focus of this episode.Twenty years ago, Europe and the U.S. shared a broadly aligned energy landscape. But the rise of American energy dominance has since driven a wedge between the two, contributing to today's political fractures across the Atlantic.Together, the five of us explored the implications of this growing misalignment—and where we might go from here. It was a passionate and thought-provoking discussion.

With President Trump's tariffs putting a sharp focus on China, most will likely be closely watching negotiations between the two as they look to avoid a full-blown trade war. In the meantime, the EU also has its eye on China, as Beijing's wide trade surplus with the bloc and its backing of Moscow are key concerns. Brad Setser, the Whitney Shepardson senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations with an expertise in global trade, joins Thanos Davelis today as we take a closer look at how Europe is shifting when it comes to China.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Ursula von der Leyen tells Xi Jinping EU-China ties are at ‘inflection point'Wildfires rage in Greece and Turkey as extreme heat persistsNew legislation will grant legal status to Mt Sinai monastery
