TikTok has denied reports that it's developing a separate app for the U.S. market. So how can the company resolve its prolonged standoff with Washington? Washington says a deal with Beijing is nearly done. But Beijing isn't exactly on the same page. Is this really just a business move or a high-stakes political gamble? What's the likely endgame? And what could it mean for the future of global tech?Host Tu Yun joins Dr. Zhou Mi, the Deputy Director of the Institute of American and Oceania Study, Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation; Edward Lehman, Founder and Managing Director of China-based law firm Lehman, Lee & Xu; and Warwick Powell, an Adjunct Professor at Queensland University of Technology in Australia for a close look.

The United States has announced new tariffs for over half of the member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, China's largest trading partners, which analysts said is a calculated escalation of Washington's efforts to reconfigure global supply chains away from Beijing.美国宣布对中国最大的贸易伙伴东南亚国家联盟（Association of Southeast Asian Nations）一半以上的成员国征收新关税，分析人士表示，这是华盛顿有意将全球供应链从北京重新配置的升级。The prospect of higher US tariffs could translate into higher prices for US consumers already grappling with persistent inflation and would undermine the stability of global supply chains, they added.他们补充说，美国提高关税的前景可能会转化为已经在努力应对持续通胀的美国消费者的更高价格，并将破坏全球供应链的稳定性。US President Donald Trump on Monday set out plans for a 40 percent tariff on goods from Myanmar and Laos, a 36 percent tariff on goods from Thailand and Cambodia, a 32 percent tariff on Indonesia, and a 25 percent tariff on goods from Malaysia.美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周一制定了对缅甸和老挝商品征收40%关税、对泰国和柬埔寨商品征收36%关税、对印度尼西亚商品征收32%关税和对马来西亚商品征收25%关税的计划。"These tariffs appear designed to make it economically disadvantageous for these Southeast Asian countries to maintain deep supply chain links with China, forcing a decoupling by increasing the cost of their exports to the US market if Chinese inputs or intermediate goods are involved," said Chen Wenling, former chief economist at the China Center for International Economic Exchanges.中国国际经济交流中心前首席经济学家陈文玲表示：“这些关税似乎旨在使这些东南亚国家与中国保持深厚的供应链联系在经济上处于不利地位，如果涉及中国的投入或中间产品，则通过增加其对美国市场的出口成本来迫使脱钩。”。The new tariffs will take effect on Aug 1 unless these countries can broker new trade deals with the White House. Trump threatened to raise rates even higher if any of the countries sought to evade the US duties by shipping through other nations.新关税将于8月1日生效，除非这些国家能够与白宫达成新的贸易协议。特朗普威胁称，如果任何一个国家试图通过其他国家运输来逃避美国的关税，他将进一步提高税率。Zhou Mi, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, said, "Additional tariffs will inevitably impact everyday affordability for US families."中国国际贸易经济合作研究院研究员周宓表示：“额外的关税将不可避免地影响美国家庭的日常负担能力。”"Moreover, they will disrupt global supply chains, compounding the challenges facing the already fragile global economic recovery," Zhou said.周表示：“此外，它们将扰乱全球供应链，加剧本已脆弱的全球经济复苏所面临的挑战。”。According to Trump, there will be no tariff if these countries or companies within the countries decide to build or manufacture products within the US, and that "in fact, we will do everything possible to get approvals quickly, professionally and routinely — in other words, in a matter of weeks".特朗普表示，如果这些国家或国内公司决定在美国境内生产或制造产品，将不会征收关税，“事实上，我们将尽一切可能快速、专业和常规地获得批准——换句话说，在几周内”。Earlier this month, Washington already made a deal with Vietnam, an ASEAN country that would see its exports to the US face a 20 percent tariff — lower than the 46 percent Trump had threatened in April.本月早些时候，华盛顿已经与东盟国家越南达成协议，越南对美国的出口将面临20%的关税，低于特朗普4月份威胁的46%。But Vietnamese goods would face a higher 40 percent tariff "on any transshipping", when goods shipped from Vietnam originate from another country, such as China.但当从越南运来的货物来自中国等其他国家时，越南货物将面临“任何转运”40%的更高关税。Guan Jian, a partner at Beijing Grand Win Law Firm, said the US approach toward Vietnam, imposing steep tariffs on goods suspected of being transshipped from another country, including China, could very well become a standard playbook in its future trade negotiations.北京大赢律师事务所合伙人关建表示，美国对越南采取的做法，对涉嫌从包括中国在内的另一个国家转运的货物征收高额关税，很可能成为其未来贸易谈判的标准策略。Chen, former chief economist at the China Center for International Economic Exchanges, said that China has forged tightly knit industrial and supply chain ties with ASEAN countries, which have become China's top trading partners for five consecutive years. In some ASEAN nations, over 70 percent of the intermediate inputs in their manufacturing sectors are sourced from China.中国国际经济交流中心前首席经济学家陈表示，中国与东盟国家建立了紧密的工业和供应链关系，东盟国家已连续五年成为中国最大的贸易伙伴。在一些东盟国家，其制造业70%以上的中间投入来自中国。"The numbers tell the story. It's not easy for Washington to undermine the market-driven integration," Chen said.陈说：“这些数字说明了问题。华盛顿不容易破坏市场驱动的一体化。”。reconfiguren.重新配置/ˌriːkənˈfɪɡər/standard playbookn.标准策略/ˈstændəd ˈpleɪbʊk/

On June 13th, Israel launched attacks on several military and nuclear facilities in Iran, marking the beginning of a 12-day war between the two countries. The United States followed with targeted strikes on Iranian nuclear sites to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power and posing a threat to regional and global stability. China's involvement in the conflict was limited to condemning the Israeli and US use of military force and calling for de-escalation. Beijing offered only rhetorical support for Tehran. To discuss what the Israel-Iran war reveals about China's relationship with Iran, its evolving strategy in the Middle East, and the broader implications for US-China competition, we are joined by Yun Sun on the podcast today. Yun is a Senior Fellow, co-Director of the East Asia Program and Director of the China Program at the Stimson Center. Her recent piece in The Wire China entitled “How China Sees Iran's Future” offers provides a nuanced take on Beijing's calculus during and after the war. Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:34] China's Diplomatic Strategy Toward the Middle East[05:00] A Limited Chinese Response and China's Regional Role[08:19] Chinese Perceptions of Iran's External Strategic Blunders[15:00] Trickling Chinese Investment into Iran[20:10] Chinese Concerns About a Nuclearized Iran[25:09] Implications of the Israel-Iran War for China's Energy Security[32:04] Trump's Response Shaping Chinese Views of the United States 

In the 22nd episode of "Are We All Clear? Facilitating Security Clearances," host Marina O'Brien is joined by Washington, D.C., International Trade attorney Andrew McAllister to help break down the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency's (DCSA) changes to the Standard Form 328 (SF-328), also known as the Certificate Pertaining to Foreign Interest. Mr. McAllister explains that the main goals of the updates are to reduce processing timelines by placing an emphasis on more thorough submissions as well as align with the expanded efforts to assess and mitigate foreign ownership, control or influence (FOCI) following the implementation of Section 847 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). One of the most significant changes to the document is in Question B, where the threshold of foreign revenue has been lowered from 30 percent to 15 percent, which will qualify a much higher number of companies. Importantly, Mr. McAllister clarifies that listeners who have previously submitted documents should not be alarmed — if you submitted or signed an SF-328 form prior to May 12, 2025, the old form is acceptable — but moving forward, any new actions must be conducted using the new form.

New Zealand isn't likely to get a better deal than we're currently getting, when it comes to trade with the US. Almost all goods to the US now face a 10% base tariff rate. Donald Trump's announced a 25% tariff rate for Japan and South Korea from the start of next month and may also raise tariffs on other trading partners. Business NZ Advocacy Manager Catherine Beard told Heather du Plessis-Allan New Zealand probably can't negotiate a tariff rate below the 10% rate we're facing. She says if that's the best rate going, it's probably not worth New Zealand trying to get into a "David and Goliath" battle with the US.

According to the latest data, the U.S. economy shrank at an annualized rate of 0.5% from January to March. Being the first contraction in three years, it's raising fresh concerns regarding the strength of U.S. consumers, the impact of high interest rates, and the resilience of the broader economy. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, China posted a stronger-than-expected 5.4% GDP growth in the same period of time. The country's economic engine appears to be strong and gaining momentum. What's really driving this divergence? What are the main engines of the Chinese economy? What role do monetary policy, trade dynamics, and geopolitical shifts play in shaping this economic narrative?Host Zhao Yang spoke with Yan Liang, Professor of Economics, Willamette University; Dr. Zhou Mi, Senior Research Fellow with Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation; Andy Mok, senior research fellow at the Center for China and Globalization.

Bolstered by sustained policy support for trade-in programs, China's consumption is likely to continue its robust growth momentum in the second half of the year, better underpinning the country's stable economic growth amid mounting external uncertainties, analysts said.分析人士表示，在对以旧换新项目的持续政策支持的推动下，中国的消费可能会在今年下半年继续保持强劲的增长势头，在外部不确定性日益增加的情况下更好地支撑该国的稳定经济增长。China still has ample fiscal headroom to reinforce its trade-in initiative later this year should consumer demand exhaust its initial 300 billion yuan ($42 billion) allocation, they said, emphasizing that similar policy incentives could be extended to the service sector to foster more sustainable consumption growth.他们表示，如果消费者需求耗尽其最初的3000亿元人民币（420亿美元）的拨款，中国仍有充足的财政空间来加强其以旧换新计划，并强调类似的政策激励措施可以扩展到服务业，以促进更可持续的消费增长。On Tuesday, the Ministry of Finance announced the issuance of 11 ultra-long-term treasury bonds in the third quarter, with four of them seeing their timelines accelerated compared with the previous plan released in April. This will help maintain a continuous flow of funding to support policies meant to boost consumption, analysts said.周二，财政部宣布在第三季度发行11只超长期国债，其中4只的发行时间比4月份发布的计划提前。分析人士表示，这将有助于保持持续的资金流动，以支持旨在促进消费的政策。According to the National Development and Reform Commission, China's top economic regulator, the third group of fiscal funding through ultra-long-term treasury bonds for the consumer goods trade-in program is scheduled to be allocated in July.周二，财政部宣布在第三季度发行11只超长期国债，其中4只的发行时间比4月份发布的计划提前。分析人士表示，这将有助于保持持续的资金流动，以支持旨在促进消费的政策。The central government has earmarked 300 billion yuan in ultra-long-term treasury bonds to support the trade-in program for the whole year. The first two groups of fiscal funding, totaling 162 billion yuan, were allocated in January and April.中央政府已指定3000亿元人民币的超长期国债，以支持全年的置换计划。前两批财政资金共计1620亿元，分别于1月和4月拨付。"If the remaining 138 billion yuan runs out ahead of schedule, the possibility of unveiling additional funding this year cannot be ruled out," said Zhao Wei, chief economist at Shenwan Hongyuan Securities.申万宏源证券首席经济学家赵表示：“如果剩余的1380亿元提前用完，今年不排除推出额外资金的可能性。”。"As the trade war initiated by the United States still weighs on China's economy, efforts to shore up domestic demand will be of paramount importance to mitigate external shocks and maintain steady growth," he said.他说：“由于美国发起的贸易战仍对中国经济造成压力，提振内需对于缓解外部冲击和保持稳定增长至关重要。”。By avoiding a one-time, large-scale fund injection that could disrupt market dynamics, the phased allocation of the fiscal funds helps create a stable and supportive environment for the consumption recovery to take hold throughout the year, Zhao added.赵补充道，通过避免可能扰乱市场动态的一次性大规模资金注入，财政资金的分阶段分配有助于为全年的消费复苏创造稳定和支持性的环境。In late June, the People's Bank of China, the country's central bank, also pledged to leverage various tools in support of the trade-in programs, such as increasing credit support for recycling companies and home renovation suppliers and fast-track financing for manufacturers of energy-efficient smart home products.6月下旬，中国央行中国人民银行还承诺利用各种工具支持以旧换新计划，例如增加对回收公司和家居装修供应商的信贷支持，以及为节能智能家居产品制造商提供快速融资。"Boosted by the trade-in programs, sales of household appliances, furniture and communication devices have registered rapid growth. Sales related to trade-ins have surpassed 1.4 trillion yuan so far this year," said Li Chao, a spokeswoman for the National Development and Reform Commission, when addressing a news conference on June 26.国家发展和改革委员会发言人李超在6月26日的新闻发布会上表示：“在以旧换新计划的推动下，家用电器、家具和通信设备的销售额实现了快速增长。今年到目前为止，与以旧换旧相关的销售额已超过1.4万亿元。”。According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, China's consumer spending in May posted its strongest monthly growth since 2024, with retail sales of consumer goods expanding 6.4 percent year-on-year in May, a 1.3 percentage point increase from April.根据国家统计局的数据，中国5月份的消费支出出现了2024年以来最强劲的月度增长，5月份消费品零售额同比增长6.4%，比4月份增长1.3个百分点。Experts cautioned that although the trade-in policies have been effective in driving sales of consumers goods, they also carry the risk of front-loading consumer demand, which could create challenges down the line.专家警告称，尽管以旧换新政策有效地推动了消费品的销售，但它们也带来了提前满足消费者需求的风险，这可能会在未来带来挑战。"Providing similar consumption incentives to promote service sector spending could become a key policy lever going forward," said Jiang Zhao, an associate researcher at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation.中国国际贸易经济合作研究院副研究员江赵表示：“提供类似的消费激励措施来促进服务业支出，可能会成为未来的一个关键政策杠杆。”。Jiang noted that development patterns in advanced economies indicate that upon entering high-income status, nations typically experience a gradual rise in the proportion of service consumption. As China approaches this threshold, its consumption structure is transitioning from being focused on goods to being focused on both goods and services, he said.江指出，发达经济体的发展模式表明，进入高收入国家后，服务消费的比例通常会逐渐上升。他说，随着中国接近这一门槛，其消费结构正在从以商品为重点转变为以商品和服务为重点。Nevertheless, service consumption spans diverse sectors such as elderly care, tourism, fitness and healthcare, implying that subsidy programs would demand substantial fiscal funding and pose significant oversight challenges, Jiang said, adding that any decision to implement such incentives would require prudent assessment based on practical conditions.然而，江表示，服务消费涵盖了养老、旅游、健身和医疗保健等多个领域，这意味着补贴计划将需要大量的财政资金，并带来重大的监管挑战。他补充说，任何实施此类激励措施的决定都需要根据实际情况进行审慎评估。fast-track financingn.快速融资consumption structuren.消费结构

The US Court of International Trade ruled last month that President Trump does not have the authority to unilaterally implement this year's tariffs under emergency powers, throwing the president's newest trade levies into legal limbo. As the case winds its way through the appeals process, the international trade environment hangs in the balance. In this episode, we talk with Ilya Somin, Professor of Law at George Mason University and co-counsel in the recent tariff case at the US Court of International Trade, about the legal pathways for enacting tariffs, last month's ruling, and his predictions for trade policy once the dust is settled.

The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is urging holidaymakers to be aware of CITES regulations – the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora – which protect endangered plants and animals from illegal trade. Many people don’t realise that everyday souvenirs—such as ivory trinkets, coral jewellery, reptile skin products, certain orchids, and traditional medicines—can be illegal to bring into Ireland under CITES regulations. These items may seem harmless, but their trade threatens endangered species. Jerry spoke to Dr Noeleen Smyth of UCD.

China's recent expansion of its visa exemption program and its refined tax refund policy, coupled with the country's upgraded manufacturing capabilities, have sparked a surge in shopping enthusiasm among international travelers, experts said.专家表示，中国最近扩大了免签证计划和完善的退税政策，再加上该国制造能力的升级，引发了国际游客购物热情的激增。"The sight of foreign tourists arriving in China with empty suitcases, only to leave brimming with purchases, has become a prominent talking point," Jiang Zhao, associate researcher at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, told China Daily.中国国际贸易经济合作研究院副研究员赵在接受《中国日报》采访时表示：“外国游客带着空行李箱抵达中国，却带着满满的东西离开，这已经成为一个突出的话题。”。Jiang noted that this "shopping in China" phenomenon has been fueled by a confluence of factors, including the nation's extended visa-free policies, its world-class manufacturing capabilities, and the sheer variety and value proposition of consumer goods on offer.江指出，这种“在中国购物”现象是由多种因素共同推动的，包括中国延长的免签证政策、世界一流的制造能力以及所提供的消费品的种类和价值主张。"Since last year, China has expanded visa exemptions for citizens from a growing number of countries, significantly facilitating international visitors' shopping experiences," Jiang said.江说：“自去年以来，中国扩大了对越来越多国家公民的签证豁免，极大地促进了国际游客的购物体验。”。So far, China's 240-hour transit visa-free policy has been extended to people arriving from 55 countries, according to data released by the National Immigration Administration earlier this month.根据国家移民局本月早些时候公布的数据，到目前为止，中国的240小时过境免签证政策已扩展到来自55个国家的人。On top of the visa-exemption, China has also fine-tuned its departure tax refund policies, in an effort to optimize its consumption environment for global visitors.除了免签证外，中国还对离境退税政策进行了微调，以优化全球游客的消费环境。Key changes include lowering the minimum spending threshold for claiming a refund, raising the ceiling for cash refunds, expanding the number of eligible retailers and widening the scope of refundable goods.主要变化包括降低申请退款的最低消费门槛，提高现金退款的上限，扩大符合条件的零售商数量，扩大可退款商品的范围。At the heart of the new policy is a "refund-upon-purchase" model, which allows foreign tourists to claim value-added tax refunds instantly at the cash register, rather than waiting until they leave the country.新政策的核心是“购买后退款”模式，允许外国游客在收银台立即申请增值税退款，而不是等到他们离开该国。One month after the nation introduced its revamped departure tax refund policy on April 27, the number of processed refund transactions soared 116 percent year-on-year, while sales at participating stores surged 56 percent, data from the State Taxation Administration showed earlier this month.国家税务总局本月早些时候的数据显示，在国家于4月27日推出修订后的离境退税政策一个月后，处理的退税交易数量同比飙升116%，而参与商店的销售额飙升56%。Meanwhile, China has made significant strides in technological innovation and industrial upgrades in recent years, resulting in a remarkable improvement in the competitiveness of Chinese products, Jiang said.与此同时，近年来，中国在技术创新和产业升级方面取得了重大进展，使中国产品的竞争力显著提高，江说。Jiang noted that foreigners' shopping lists have evolved from traditional items such as silk and tea to high-value-added products such as drones and smart wearables. Chinese manufacturers now offer diverse, quality goods at competitive prices.江指出，外国人的购物清单已经从丝绸和茶叶等传统商品演变为无人机和智能可穿戴设备等高附加值产品。中国制造商现在以有竞争力的价格提供多样化、高质量的商品。Moreover, activities like wearing traditional Chinese attire and experiencing intangible cultural heritage tours have generated new consumption demand as foreign visitors explore Chinese culture, Jiang said.此外，江说，随着外国游客探索中国文化，穿着中国传统服装和体验非物质文化遗产旅游等活动产生了新的消费需求。"Moving forward, we should create more tourist-friendly commercial zones featuring multilingual signage, guides, and specialized shopping and dining maps catering to foreign visitors' preferences," Jiang said.江说：“今后，我们应该创建更多的旅游友好型商业区，配备多语言标牌、导游和专门的购物和餐饮地图，以满足外国游客的喜好。”。Additionally, promoting convergence between commerce, culture, tourism and sports can diversify consumption scenarios, ultimately elevating China's appeal as a global shopping destination, Jiang added.此外，促进商业、文化、旅游和体育的融合可以使消费场景多样化，最终提升中国作为全球购物目的地的吸引力，江补充道。Amid rising protectionism and intensifying geopolitical tensions globally, China's pursuit of a shared community for global consumption carries profound significance, Jiang said.江说，在保护主义抬头和全球地缘政治紧张局势加剧的背景下，中国追求全球消费共同体具有深远意义。"It cushions protectionism and enhances global trade resilience," Jiang said. "While certain nations impose trade restrictions and advocate supply chain decoupling, which fuels trade instability, China's expanded openness helps safeguard normal international economic cooperation and trade security."江说：“它缓冲了保护主义，增强了全球贸易的韧性。”。“虽然某些国家实施贸易限制并倡导供应链脱钩，这加剧了贸易不稳定，但中国扩大开放有助于维护正常的国际经济合作和贸易安全。”visa exemptionsn.签证豁免geopolitical tensionsn.地缘政治紧张

What happens when a major newspaper publishes a summer reading list where only five of the 15 books actually exist? Blake and David explore this real example of AI-generated content gone wrong and what it means for accounting professionals who increasingly rely on automated tools. They break down QuickBooks' latest price increases, demonstrate how AI can now build complex consolidation spreadsheets in minutes, and discuss why Excel skills still outrank AI knowledge in finance hiring. Plus, they examine the legal challenges facing Trump's tariff policies, alternative CPA pathway expansion, and hear from accounting student Jason Farley about the dangerous gap between classroom education and real-world cloud accounting practice.SponsorsPayhawk - http://accountingpodcast.promo/payhawkKeeper - http://accountingpodcast.promo/keeper REFRAME 2025 - http://accountingpodcast.promo/reframe2025 TeamUp - http://accountingpodcast.promo/teamupChapters(00:48) - Summer Reading List Mishap (02:52) - AI and the Future of Fact-Checking (05:27) - AI Video Generators and Fake News (08:20) - QuickBooks and AI Pricing Debate (09:16) - Elon Musk and Government Efficiency (10:41) - The Big Beautiful Bill and Its Implications (18:29) - Tariffs and Trade Wars (39:48) - Excel vs AI in Finance (42:42) - The Rise of Excel: A Brief History (43:44) - Introducing Perplexity AI: A Versatile Tool (53:56) - Alternative CPA Pathways and Legislative Changes (55:07) - The Role of the PCAOB in Audit Quality (59:25) - Controversies Surrounding IRS Commissioner Nominee Billy Long (01:03:59) - The Future of Accounting Internships and Outsourcing (01:20:20) - Perplexity's Onboarding Process: Results and Insights (01:24:38) - Upcoming Conferences and Closing Remarks  Show NotesChicago Sun-Times fake summer reading list article https://www.chicagosuntimes.com/fake-summer-reading-list-2025South Carolina passes alternative CPA pathway legislation https://www.scstatehouse.gov/cpa-pathway-legislation-2025New Jersey alternative CPA pathway bill https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/bills/cpa-alternative-pathway-2025Oregon CPA licensure reform legislation https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/cpa-pathway-reform-2025Minnesota CPA education requirements change https://www.revisor.mn.gov/cpa-education-requirements-2025Illinois CPA pathway legislation https://www.ilga.gov/cpa-pathway-bill-2025Trump tariffs constitutional challenge court ruling https://www.reuters.com/legal/trump-tariffs-constitutional-challenge-2025Court of International Trade blocks global tariffs https://www.cit.uscourts.gov/trump-tariffs-ruling-2025International Emergency Economic Powers Act tariff authority https://www.treasury.gov/ieepa-tariff-authority-analysisPCAOB elimination provision in tax bill https://www.congress.gov/bill/pcaob-elimination-provisionBilly Long IRS Commissioner confirmation hearing https://www.finance.senate.gov/billy-long-confirmation-hearingBilly Long tribal tax credits promotion controversy https://www.irs.gov/tribal-tax-credits-fraud-warningFederal Tax Updates podcast with Danny Werfel https://federaltaxupdates.com/danny-werfel-interviewSolutions Magazine Excel vs AI survey https://solutionsmagazine.com/excel-ai-finance-survey-2025Microsoft Excel 40th anniversary analysis https://www.technologylab.com/excel-40-years-anniversaryQuickBooks pricing increases for AI features https://quickbooks.intuit.com/pricing-changes-ai-features-2025Puzzle AI accounting platform pricing https://puzzle.io/pricingDigits AI bookkeeping service costs https://digits.com/pricing-plansUplink AI bookkeeping pricing structure https://uplink.com/ai-bookkeeping-pricingAltman Dublin AI accounting company funding https://altman.ie/series-a-funding-announcementPerplexity Labs spreadsheet creation feature https://labs.perplexity.ai/spreadsheet-toolsMicrosoft Office bundling strategy vs Lotus 123https://www.computerhistory.org/excel-lotus-competitionMeet our Guest, Chayton FarleeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chaytonfarlee/Need CPE?Get CPE for listening to podcasts with Earmark: https://earmarkcpe.comSubscribe to the Earmark Podcast: https://podcast.earmarkcpe.comGet in TouchThanks for listening and the great reviews!

Should a president have unchecked authority to impose tariffs on foreign nations? In an excerpt from this week's Insider episode, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance discuss the Court of International Trade's unanimous ruling that President Trump exceeded his authority by invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose sweeping tariffs. Also on the Insider docket: – Harvard University's ongoing legal battle against the Trump administration over its efforts to ban international students from attending the school; and – A federal judge's ruling that struck down Trump's executive order targeting Preet's law firm, WilmerHale.

So when a libertarian (eg Rand) attacks the “deficit” impact of the bill they are attacking the tax cut. Of course, honestly accounted, extending current tax rates has zero deficit impact which is why the bill, because of its spending cuts, reduces the deficit. A second major point of confusion is what's actually in a reconciliation bill. It is not an appropriations bill, or a general budget bill. It provides no funding or authorization for 99%+ of the operations of government. It was written not by appropriators but some of the most conservative members of the House. It has not a single Democrat provision or vote.

I sat down with Victor Owen Schwartz back in February 2022, and this episode originally aired on my birthday, June 30, 2022. In light of recent developments in the international wine trade, I thought this would be a great time to revisit this episode and reintroduce you to the man who fellow podcast Alum Lyle Fass has described as a true “Mensch."Victor Schwartz, founder of VOS Selections, a small family-run wine importing company in New York, became the unlikely face of legal resistance against Trump's sweeping global tariffs. Schwartz runs the business alongside his daughter, Chloe, and imports wine, sake, and spirits from small-batch producers in countries such as France, Lebanon, and Japan. The Challenge: When Trump announced unprecedented global tariffs on almost all US trading partners, Schwartz described them as an "existential threat" to his small business. Unlike large corporations, small importers like VOS couldn't absorb the financial impact of sudden tariff increases.The Legal Battle: Schwartz partnered with the Liberty Justice Center, a libertarian advocacy group, and agreed to serve as the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit challenging Trump's authority to impose the tariffs. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of VOS and four other small businesses. VOS Selections: How a small, family-run wine company hit back against Donald Trump's tariffs | CNN BusinessThe Victory: A three-judge panel at the US Court of International Trade struck down Trump's sweeping global tariffs, finding that Trump overstepped his authority by invoking emergency economic powers to impose tariffs on China, Canada, Mexico, and other US trading partners. Schwartz was cooking a pasta dinner when he received the winning news from his lawyers.The Ongoing Fight: The Trump administration immediately appealed the ruling, and the case could end up in the Supreme Court. An appeals court granted the Trump administration's request to pause the lower court's ruling, meaning the legal battle continues. Schwartz's case represents a David-and-Goliath story where a small wine importer successfully challenged presidential trade policy, with implications for businesses and consumers worldwide.A huge thank you to Victor O.

While foreign governments have adopted a TACO strategy banking on Trump chickening out in their trade negotiations with him, Trump has now been forced to appeal his hand picked court, the US Court of International Trade, who just blocked his entire retaliatory tariff policy as unconstitutional. Michael Popok explains what specialty appeals court gets the case next, and why the Supreme Court may not bail him out this time.

After the federal court's ruling against Trump's reciprocal tariffs, and an appeals court's temporary stay of that ruling, our analysts Michael Zezas and Michael Gapen discuss how the administration could retain the tariffs and what this means for the U.S. economy.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Michael Zezas: Welcome to the Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michael Zezas, Morgan Stanley's Global Head of Fixed Income Research and Public Policy Strategy.Michael Gapen: And I'm Michael Gapen, Chief U.S. Economist.Today, the latest on President Trump's tariffs.It's Thursday, May 29th at 5pm in New York.So, Mike, on Wednesday night, the U.S. Court of International Trade struck down President Trump's reciprocal tariffs. This ruling certainly seems like a fresh roadblock for the administration.Michael Zezas: Yeah, that's right. But a quick word of caution. That doesn't mean we're supposed to conclude that the recent tariff hikes are a thing of the past. I think investors need to be aware that there's many plausible paths to keeping these tariffs exactly where they are right now.Michael Zezas: First, while the administration is appealing this decision, the tariffs can stay in place. But even if courts ultimately rule against the Trump administration, there are other types of legal authorities that they can bring to bear to make sure that the tariff levels that are currently applied endure. So, what the court said the administration had done improperly was levy tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).And there's been active debate all along amongst legal scholars about if this was the right law to justify those tariff levies. And so, there's always the possibility of court challenges. But what the administration could do, if the courts continue to uphold the lower court's ruling, is basically leverage other legal authorities to continue these tariffs.They could use Section 122 as a temporary authority to levy the 10 percent tariffs that were part of this kind of global tariff, following the reciprocal trade announcement. They also could use the existing Section 301 authority that was used to create tariffs on China in 2018 and 2019, and extend that across of all China imports; and therefore, fill in the gap that would be lost by not being able to use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to tariff some of China's imports.So bottom line, there's lots of different legal paths to keep tariffs where they are across the set of goods that they're already applied to.Michael Gapen: So, I think that makes a lot of sense. And with all that said, where do you think we stand right now with tariffs?Michael Zezas: So, if the court ruling were to stand then the 10 percent tariffs on all imports that the U.S. is currently levying, that would have to go away. The 30 percent tariffs on roughly half of China imports, that would've to go away. And the 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico around fentanyl, that would have to go away as well.What you'd be left with effectively is anything levied under section 232 or 301. So that's basically steel, aluminum, automobile tariffs. And tariffs on the roughly half of China imports that were started in 2018 and 2019. But as we said earlier, there's lots of different ways that the authority can be brought to bear to make sure that that 10 percent import tariff globally is continued as well as the incremental tariffs on China.But Michael, turning to you on the U.S. economy, what's your reaction to the court's ruling? It seems like we're just going to have a continuation of existing tariff policy, but is there something else that investors need to consider here?Michael Gapen: Well, I'm not a trade lawyer. I'm not entirely surprised by the ruling. It did seem to exceed what I'll call the general parameters of the law, and it wasn't what we – as a research group and a research team – were thinking was the most likely path for tariffs coming into the year, as you mentioned. And as we, as a group wrote, we thought that they would rely mainly on section 301 and 232 authority, which would mean tariffs would ramp up much more slowly. And that's what we had put into our original outlook coming into the year.We didn't have the effective tariff rate reaching 8 to 9 percent until around the middle of 2026. So, it reflected the fact that it would take effort and time for the administration to put its plans on tariffs in into place. So, I think this decision kind of shifts our views back in that direction. And by that I mean, we originally thought most of 2025 would be about getting the tariff structure in place. And therefore, the effects of tariffs would be hitting the economy mainly in 2026.We obviously revise things where tariffs would weigh on activity in 2025 and postpone Fed cuts into 2026. So, I think what it does for the moment is maybe tilts risks back in the other direction. But as you say, it's just a matter of time that there appears to be enough legal authority here for the administration to implement their desires on trade policy and tariff policy. So, I'm not sure this changes a lot in terms of where we think the economy's going. So, I'm not entirely surprised by the decision, but I'm not sure that the decision means a lot for how we think about the U.S. economy.Michael Zezas: Got it. So, the upshot there is – really no change from your perspective on the outlook for growth, for inflation or for Fed policy. Is that fair?Michael Gapen: That's right. So, it's still a slow growth, sticky inflation, patient Fed. It's just we're kind of moving around when that materializes. We pulled it into 2025 given the abrupt increase in in tariffs and the use of the IEEPA authority. And now it probably would come later if the lower court ruling stands.Michael Zezas: Right. So, sticking with the Fed. Several Fed speakers took to the airwaves last week, and it sounds like the Fed is still waiting for some of these public policy changes to have an effect on the real economy before they react. Is that a fair way to characterize it? And what are you watching at this point in terms of what determines your expectations for the Fed's policy path from here?Michael Gapen: Yeah, that's right. And I think, given that the appeals court has allowed the tariffs to stay in place as they review the lower court, the trade court's ruling, I think the Fed right now would say: Okay, status quo, nothing has changed.So, what does that mean? And what the Fed speakers said last week, and it also appeared in the minutes, is that the Fed expects that tariffs will do two things with respect to the Fed's mandate. It'll push inflation higher and puts risks around unemployment higher, right? So, the Fed is offsides, or likely to be offsides on both sides of its mandate.So, what Fed speakers have been saying is, well, when this happens, we will react to whichever side of the mandate we're furthest from our target. And their forecasts seem to say and are pretty consistent with ours, that the Fed expects inflation to rise first, but the labor market to soften later. So, what that means for our expectations for the Fed's policy path is they're likely to be on hold as they evaluate that inflation shock.And we'll keep the policy rate where it is to ensure that inflation expectations are stable. And then as the economy moderates and the labor market softens, then they can turn to cuts. But we don't think that happens until 2026. So, I don't think the ruling yesterday and the appeal process initiated today changes that.For now, the tariffs are still in place. The Fed's message is it's going to take us at least until probably September, if not later, to figure out which way we should move. Moving later and right is preferable for them than moving earlier and wrong.Michael Zezas: Got it. So bottom line, from our perspective, this court case was a big deal. However, because the administration has a lot of options to keep tariffs going in the direction that they want, not too much has really changed with our expectations for the outlook for either the tariff path and it's not going to fix to the economy.Michael Gapen: That's right. That's, I think what we know today. And we'll have to see how things evolve.Michael Zezas: Yep. They seem to be evolving every day. Mike, thanks for speaking with me.Michael Gapen: Thank you, Mike. It's been a pleasure. And thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review wherever you listen and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.

The monologue this time is about the flip flopping of Trump's policies. John discusses the Trump administration tariff policies which continues for now, after an appeals court put a hold on the ruling by the Court of International Trade which blocked his tariffs. And he talks about Elon Musk who, once again, announced he's leaving the Trump Administration and returning home to manage his hemorrhaging companies. Then, he welcomes back Rev. Barry Lynn to discuss Texas putting the 10 commandment in classrooms and Oklahoma trying to have Christian Charter schools funded by taxpayers. Next, he chats with Chris about more trouble in Trumpworld... they play a clip of FBI Deputy Dir. Dan Bongino telling Fox News that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. And a clip of Iowa Rep. Ashley Hinson who got booed from her constituents when she boasted about her support for Trump's big bad bill. Then finally, Beachside Bill talks about the race for Florida Senate District 19 which pits one of the architects of Florida's rollback of transgender protections - Republican Randy Fine - against a Democratic political newcomer running to become the state's first openly transgender state senator - Vance Ahrens.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, a tug-of-war over the Trump administration's sweeping tariffs imposed using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977. The Court of International Trade blocked President Trump's tariffs, arguing the act did not give the President unbounded tariff authority. The White House economic team is confident the administration will defeat this legal challenge, with an appeals court already ruling that these tariffs can remain in effect pending the appeal. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to highlight this legal challenge to the President's tariffs, Elon Musk's departure from the Trump administration, and investigations being launched into the Biden administration. President Trump wants a lot more nuclear power production in the United States, signing executive orders a week ago focused on quadrupling U.S. capacity within 25 years. Nuclear power has long been associated with high-profile disasters and fears of mishaps, but nuclear advocates say it actually is cleaner and safer than fossil fuels. Jacob DeWitte is the co-founder and CEO of nuclear technology company Oklo, and he was at the executive order signing. He joins the podcast to explain the strides made in making nuclear reactors safer and more efficient. Plus, commentary from FOX News Digital columnist David Marcus.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 130: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) BREAKING NEWS: A Reagan judge, an Obama judge, and a Trump judge walk into a courtroom and rule Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs - which not only crashed our economy but that of the entire world's - are not a legal use of the 1977 laws empowering him to take actions in the event of an economic emergency. This is not just any court. It's the United States Court of International Trade. Trump already appealed. Stephen Miller already called it a "judicial coup." The fact that America's corporations simply went along with Trump's crap when it knew - as the court knew - this was executive overreach - is its own problem. The halt on the tariffs will itself probably be halted by the appeals. So the re-shaping of the market will be re-re-shaped by the judges, and re-re-re-shaped by the further litigation. That, of course, is not Trump's problem. His only job is to break stuff. SPECIAL COMMENT: Now it's Governor Gretchen Whitmer has learned the lesson - twice. Never appease Trump, never negotiate with Trump, never cooperate with Trump, never support anything Trump wants, never do anything Trump wants. All that registers with him is: you are easier for him to destroy. She sucked up to him. She worked with him. He tricked her into appearing at his photo-op. She hid her face behind a folder like it was a perp walk. Now, he says he's looking into PARDONING THE TERRORISTS CONVICTED OF TRYING TO KIDNAP HER. There is only one way Gretchen Whitmer is going to SURVIVE Trump, Governor. Apple is going to SURVIVE Trump, Tim Cook. There is only one way Columbia is going to SURVIVE Trump, Claire Shipman. There is only one way the White House Correspondents are going to SURVIVE Trump, Eugene Daniels. If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’ll spell it out. Doing what he wants only tells him you will DO WHAT HE WANTS. So he comes back and gives you ANOTHER list of what he wants. He’s a blackmailer. He’s a crooked businessman. He’s a bully. There is only one way to SURVIVE Trump and that is to DESTROY Trump. In a world of White House Correspondents, be the PENTAGON Correspondents. In a world of Apples, be Wal-Mart. In a world of Columbias, be a Harvard. Put your hands on Trump’s shoulders and knee him in the groin. Stand up to him and you can then own HIM, like the Harvard newspaper op-ed writer who has proposed settling the disputes between her school and Trump by challenging Secretary of "Education" Linda McMahon, the wife of the wrestling slime bag, to a Steel Cage Match. ALSO: TRUMP CONFESSES to operating on Russia's behalf and to protecting Putin. HE LEARNS for the first time of the Wall Street analysts mocking him with the tariff acronym "TACO" ("Trump Always Chickens Out") and he chickens out. Turns out Tom Homan also worked for the top Private Prison company. A woman who contributed a million to Trump gets a pardon for her jailbird son. Anybody remember Rudy Giuliani's alleged boast he could sell you a pardon for two million, to be split between him and Trump. And a past president's grandson has died. The president he was the grandson of, left office in... 1845. B-Block (33:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Kristi Noem and the camel she rode in on. Jesse Watters and Rep. Tim Burchett try to make fun of men using straws not remembering there's a photo of Trump at Yankee Stadium using a straw. And boy did THIS sound familiar: Rupert Murdoch just buried a New York Post reporter who followed all the rules and instructions Murdoch's minions had laid out for him, because somebody didn't like the story... Just like in 2001 Rupert personally fired ME for doing exactly the same thing (C-Block 43:00 THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL). The punchline is the reporter's name is Josh Kosman and last September he was the guy at The Post who called and told me they were about to update the RFK Jr/Olivia Nuzzi sexting story by claiming I had lived with Olivia. So I busted his scoop and put the story out immediately. Now we're in the Rupert Isn't A Journalist Club. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
