Is the global manufacturing economy headed for a crash, or is it entering a historic resurgence? In this episode of Manufacturing Think Tank, host Cliff Waldman sits down with top economists Mark Vitner (Founder of Piedmont Crescent Capital) and Jeremy Leonard (Director of Industry Services at Oxford Economics) to break down how the conflict with Iran is transforming the global manufacturing outlook. Despite major geopolitical uncertainty, the U.S. manufacturing sector has shown surprising resilience. Our guests explain the hidden economic forces at play—including massive waves of domestic reshoring, the build-out of massive AI data center infrastructures, and the critical differences in energy independence between the U.S. and Europe. Tune in to discover which sectors are set to benefit from defense replenishment and domestic chemical production, why automotive and consumer durables face heavy demand destruction, and what the ending of the war could mean for the future of global supply chains.

India has established a strong foothold in the emerging clean fuels industry, leveraging its low-cost renewable energy resources to position itself as a competitively priced producer of renewable hydrogen and ammonia for both domestic industrial use and large-scale exports to buyers seeking to secure future supplies of low-carbon fuels. However, recent geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, have disrupted supply chains and pushed up costs, posing risks to project timelines and cost estimates. Despite these near-term challenges, India's long-term outlook remains robust, supported by the global shift from conventional fuels, an emphasis on energy security, and net-zero targets across major economies that are expected to drive future trade in renewable fuels. Ruchira Singh, Editor—Energy Transition at S&P Global Energy joins Nishaanth Balashanmugam, CEO and Director of GH2 India--a trade body focused on accelerating renewable hydrogen in the country--and Vipul Garg, Senior Hydrogen Price Reporter at S&P Global Energy, to discuss the factors shaping the sector, including the evolving business environment, regulatory landscape, and emerging markets for renewable hydrogen.

The attack on Pearl Harbor instantly unifies the American public and merges separate global conflicts into World War II. Lindbergh immediately offers his services as a loyal citizen, but FDR personally blocks his return to the military. Roosevelt refuses to allow his chief critic to become a military hero, leaving Lindbergh to serve as a civilian consultant. Labeled a "Nazi fellow traveler," Lindbergh surreptitiously flies unauthorized combat missions in the Pacific to train pilots and test aircraft. He lived until 1974, with his legacy forever defined by his bitter pre-war struggle against the Roosevelt administration. (8/8)1936

Are We Closer to Global War Than Anyone Realizes? Trump Faces Pressure as Iran Crisis Intensifies Russian Ship Mystery Sparks Nuclear Fears China Accused of Fueling Iran's Missile Program Generals Reportedly Confront Trump Over Iran Strategy DESCRIPTION Global tensions are reaching dangerous levels as reports emerge of a mysterious Russian cargo ship possibly carrying nuclear submarine reactors to North Korea. Today's episode dives into escalating threats involving Iran, China, Russia, and North Korea — and why some military leaders believe America is approaching a historic geopolitical breaking point. EPISODE SUMMARY In today's episode, the discussion centers on growing fears surrounding global military escalation and the geopolitical alliance between China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The conversation begins with reports surrounding a Russian cargo ship that allegedly sank near Spain under mysterious circumstances while potentially transporting nuclear-related materials intended for North Korea. The episode ties the incident into broader concerns over missile proliferation, long-range weapons development, and threats to American military installations. The host also discusses recent tensions involving Iranian missile capabilities, fears surrounding electromagnetic pulse (EMP) scenarios, and warnings from intelligence and military officials regarding strategic vulnerabilities facing the United States. Attention then shifts to Benjamin Netanyahu and growing calls from military analysts for Israel to intensify operations against Iran. Retired General Jack Keane is referenced advocating for stronger military action and expanded efforts to secure vital shipping lanes near the Strait of Hormuz. The episode also explores frustration over diplomatic engagement between Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping amid accusations that China has indirectly supported hostile military operations and weapons supply chains tied to Iran.

Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. https://RushToReason.com HOUR 1 Global Conflict, Economic Anxiety, And America's Energy Future Collide. Hour 1 of Rush To Reason features John Rush, Andy Peth, and financial expert Jordan Goodman in a rapid-fire discussion of global war threats, economic uncertainty, energy policy, and political power. They examine how rising tensions with Iran could impact oil prices, inflation, airline travel, and global stability. The conversation asks if the world is edging toward wider conflict and how much America's economic future hinges on events in the Strait of Hormuz. The hour also sharply critiques the Federal Reserve and Jerome Powell, debating interest rates, housing, inflation, and the political forces shaping economic decisions. Other topics include Spirit Airlines' collapse, blocked mergers, LNG exports, Colorado's natural gas, Cuba's ongoing crisis, and the political fallout from rising utility bills. From energy independence and airline bankruptcies to inflation and geopolitics, Hour 1 highlights how deeply interconnected today's major systems are. HOUR 2 Colorado Republicans Face A Political Identity Crisis. Hour 2 delivers a candid look at Colorado's Republican Party and its candidates, spotlighting the divide between ideology, strategy, and electability. John Rush and Andy Peth assess Greg Lopez, Victor Marks, Scott Bottoms, and Barb Kirkmeyer, raising the tough question: who can win statewide in today's Colorado? They cover campaign charisma, debate strategy, abortion politics, voter psychology, caucus influence, and whether splitting the conservative vote unintentionally helps Democrats. John and Andy discuss how unaffiliated voters influence elections, why emotional political movements struggle to expand beyond their base, and how internal Republican divisions could affect congressional races. They also examine the decline of Colorado Republican leadership, criticizing infighting, failed strategy, and divisive figures. The hour ends with a warning about political reality, messaging, and whether Colorado Republicans will adapt or keep losing statewide influence. HOUR 3 Candidate Vetting, Party Chaos, And The Fight Over Colorado's Republican Future. Hour 3 dives into candidate vetting, political credibility, and the growing feud within Colorado's Republican Party. John Rush, Andy Peth, and Eli Bremer discuss the controversy surrounding former CD8 candidate Adam DeRito and what his story reveals about the party leadership and candidate screening in Colorado. They explore allegations about DeRito's military history, dishonesty, and fabricated stories, showing how flawed candidates can still rise inside activist circles. The discussion then broadens: Colorado Republicans are accused of empowering emotional factions and unelectable candidates while alienating the unaffiliated voters needed to win statewide. They also discuss Ron Hanks, Dave Williams, caucus politics, donor fatigue, lawsuits, and party cronyism, highlighting frustration with a system that rewards activism over electability. The hour ends with a warning about political incentives, failed leadership, and whether Colorado Republicans can rebuild credibility before losing statewide relevance for good.

Bill Press interviews psychologist Dr. John Gartner about a new ABC/Washington Post poll finding 59% of Americans believe Donald Trump is mentally unfit for the presidency and a physicians' letter urging Trump's lawful removal due to an unsanctioned war and his sole authority over nuclear weapons. Gartner argues Trump is a “malignant narcissist” with worsening frontotemporal dementia, claiming his disinhibition, tangential speech, confabulation, language errors, and loss of social context are increasingly visible, citing clips about “SEA” vs “SEE,” a Sharpie story, and graphic remarks to schoolchildren. He links Trump's self-glorification (coins, passports, building names, images as Pope/Jesus, a triumphal arch) to delusions of grandeur and warns of escalating war and possible first-use nuclear action, doubting political checks like the 25th Amendment or Senate conviction.

The manufacturing sector has been hit hard over the past few years, but ongoing global conflict has worsened current market conditions. Average profit margins have plunged to 31.53 percent, the lowest since records began in 2018. This has resulted in more manufacturers clearing out their warehouses, with stock on hand dropping to historically low levels. Unleashed Head of Product Jarrod Adam says the challenges to the supply chain are being worsened by the Middle East conflict, and experts are unclear on what will happen next.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said the war in Ukraine was nearing an end on the first day of a United States-brokered ceasefire, despite mutual accusations of violations. Editor of New Voice of Ukraine Euan McDonald told Mike Hosking, "Putin makes these statements occasionally but, what we haven't seen really, is any major change in the situation. "So there's not really any evidence that the war could be coming to an end. In fact, it actually seems to be escalating a bit." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well the war seems live now, doesn't it. The Americans officially want our help. Which brings us back to the original question - if this encounter ends up ridding Iran of the ability to produce nuclear weaponry, has it been worth it? No, they didn't see the Strait of Hormuz being the mess it is. You can debate that forever if you want, but ultimately there is no question Iran is done for and it's just a matter of time before they fold. The price is high, inflation is up, the supply chains for a lot of stuff like fertiliser and plastics and ceramics and oil doesn't look good. The economic damage is virtually everywhere. Is that the price we are prepared to pay to see Iran neutralised? Here is the tricky question; given no one asked us, why would we help now? The great diplomatic cock-up from the Trump administration is they didn't get buy-in. Unlike other conflicts no coalition was built. What made it worse was when he realised he was in trouble, Trump started whining about the lack of help. NATO and Britain got a good going over. Can you unilaterally start a war with global economic implications and then whine that we aren't too thrilled about lending a hand? In other words, does the so-called "favour" he has done us by finishing off Iran allow us enough positivity towards him to come to his aid? Also at play is the cold, hard reality of geopolitics. We are kind of obliged to help. We are in the American camp and if push came to shove they would help us. So we sort of have to assist when asked. And the fact we are tiny doesn't help our cause because we need all the help we can get. As the Prime Minister told us the other day when I asked, almost in a way that he knew this was brewing. He offered the idea that our Boeing P-8A Poseidon could do some patrolling. We have sort of answered the question before it even needed to be asked, haven't we? Are we in? What choice do we have?

David Seymour joined Mike Hosking as acting Prime Minister while Christopher Luxon is in Singapore. They discussed the big topics coming into this week including the war in Iran and the USA's call for support, and ACT's new immigration policy. On the potential of NZ involvement in Iran Seymour told Hosking, "We're not going into a conflict zone, but if there was genuine, cross-partisan support for us to join a coalition of like-minded nations to ensure that trades on the seas can continue, that is in New Zealand's interest. "We're a trading nation. We need freedom of navigation." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How close are we to a new global conflict? In this episode, journalist Hannah Lucinda Smith speaks with global defence commentator Peter Apps about his new book The Next World War: The New Age of Global Conflict and the Fight to Stop It. From Ukraine to Taiwan, and from cyber warfare to space, Apps argues that the foundations of a new kind of global conflict are already in place. Drawing on reporting from the corridors of power in Washington, London, Moscow and Beijing, as well as frontline perspectives, Apps maps the fault lines shaping today's geopolitical landscape. He explores the return of great power rivalry, the rise of ‘hybrid' warfare, and the growing role of technology in reshaping how conflicts are fought. At its centre is a stark question: are these tensions containable, or are they leading towards a wider and more dangerous confrontation? Apps sets out how governments, militaries and societies are preparing for the possibility of large-scale conflict — and what might still be done to prevent escalation. Peter Apps is a global defence commentator at Reuters. He is the author of The Next World War: The New Age of Global Conflict and the Fight to Stop It. His podcast, Battle for the Next World War, will release soon.  Hannah Lucinda Smith is a journalist and foreign correspondent reporting on global politics and conflict.

Was the clock already ticking before conflict with Iran began? Tara connects the dots between a reported weapons deal with China, global trade choke points, and why Donald Trump may have acted sooner than expected. ⚡ EPISODE SUMMARY Tara delivers a high-stakes breakdown of escalating tensions involving Iran and China, arguing that a critical turning point came just days before open conflict. Citing reporting from Reuters, the episode explores claims of a pending missile deal that could have shifted the balance of power in the region. The discussion frames Iran not as a standalone actor, but as part of a broader geopolitical strategy involving Chinese investment, infrastructure, and influence. Tara highlights how control of key routes like the Strait of Hormuz and disruptions near the Red Sea could reshape global commerce. A major focus is on economic warfare—specifically sanctions, oil flows, and financial pressure. Treasury actions led by Scott Bessent are described as a turning point, targeting not just Iran but institutions tied to Chinese trade. Tara also discusses emerging concerns about global control systems, referencing companies like Huawei and the spread of surveillance infrastructure tied to economic agreements.

As the war in Iran creates chaos in every domain of life, the already-fragile energy systems of many countries find themselves on the brink of crisis after spending decades investing in natural gas infrastructure, largely supplied by Middle Eastern countries. With projected natural gas prices now spiking across the world, a growing number of nations are re-prioritizing energy security over energy convenience – calling into question the types of electricity generation needed for their citizens as they look to the coming decades. Could this lead to calls for a nuclear power revival in the West, and if so, would Western countries have the capacity to build such complex infrastructure?  In this episode, Nate welcomes back Dr. Chris Keefer, president of Canadians for Nuclear Energy and host of the Decouple podcast, for an impromptu exploration of the possible role of nuclear power for energy security amidst destabilizing supply chains and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Looking back to the energy shocks of the 1970s, Chris highlights how these disruptions reshaped electricity generation globally, including the rapid expansion of nuclear power for several countries, such as Europe, the U.S., Japan, Taiwan, and Pakistan. But without the energetic, material, and civic availability of fifty years ago, Chris calls into question whether most free-market based countries would be able to coordinate and effectively respond in the same way today. Ultimately, both Chris and Nate highlight how energy security is reshaping every aspect of our lives as we are forced to adapt to a world of lower material throughput.  Why is nuclear power such a potent piece of energy infrastructure – resulting in cheap, abundant electricity when built correctly? How are the health impacts of nuclear power accidents misunderstood, and do the risks outweigh the benefits? And ultimately, does society today possess the political, financial, technological, and institutional capacity required to build and sustain large-scale nuclear systems?   About Chris Keefer: Dr. Chris Keefer MD, CCFP-EM is the host of the Decouple podcast, where he explores the most pressing questions in energy, climate, environment, politics, and philosophy. Additionally, he is a practicing emergency physician in Toronto, a medical instructor, and a lifelong advocate for social and environmental causes. Chris is also the founder and president of the grassroots non-profit Canadians for Nuclear Energy, as well as the Director of Doctors for Nuclear Energy.   Show Notes and More   Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

Are we focusing on the wrong threats while ignoring the ones growing right inside our own communities? Join Mike, Tim, and Seth as they dive deep into the biblical definition of the Antichrist, the manipulative power of fear, and how the modern church often aligns itself with worldly systems rather than the Kingdom of God. This episode moves beyond traditional labels to explore what it actually means to live in a cosmically contested space. In this conversation, the team unpacks the startling New Testament reality that antichrists are often plural and internal to the church, rather than a single external boogeyman. We discuss the recent tragic events in Iran and how nationalistic rhetoric often blinds us to the suffering of others. By looking at the life of Jesus through the lens of security versus threat, we explore why the church is so easily led by fear and how we can begin to resist the systemic powers of individualism, tribalism, and redemptive violence.
