We got the latest reading of jobless claims today. Last week, 199,000 people filed for first-time unemployment claims.

We'll discuss how these job losses can be tracked and more of this low-hire, low-fire economy we can't seem to shake.

Veronique de Rugy argues autonomous vehicles like Waymo could reduce road fatalities by 94%, yet their adoption is stalled by opposition from trial lawyers and unions. Unions fear job losses for taxi, truck, and delivery drivers, though de Rugy argues automation historically transitions workers into higher-paying, less tedious roles. She emphasizes that driverless cars would provide life-changing accessibility for rural and elderly populations who currently lack reliable transportation options. (16)LA FIESTA DE LOS ANGELES

Despite decades of rapid Chinese growth, it's over the past year that European politicians have begun to talk of facing what's been dubbed the ‘China Shock 2.0' — as surging Chinese exports and the impact of higher technology Chinese growth increasingly affect the heartlands of European industry — particularly German car and machinery manufacturing. Germany's industrial output has fallen around 10% since 2022, and the country is estimated to be shedding some 10,000 industrial jobs every month; Volkswagen has just outlined up to 100,000 possible job cuts. Much of the blame has been placed on Chinese overcapacity, and what Europe sees as unfair subsidies and an overvalued Chinese yuan. And amid fears that job losses could further boost the rise of the far right in European politics, there have been calls for new import restrictions and higher tariffs on Chinese imports to Europe. The European Union and China have just begun three months of trade talks in an attempt to find a solution — but will Europe dare to take tough action in the face of China's stranglehold on sectors like rare earths and legacy chips — and is China prepared to compromise? Joerg Wuttke of the consultancy DGA Albright Stonebridge Group, for many years president of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, and former Vice President for China at the German chemicals giant BASF, discusses the roots of the crisis and the chances of finding a solution.Image © European Union, 2025 / CC BY 4.0For information about the SOAS China Institute Corporate Membership scheme, please contact SCI director Steve Tsang: steve.tsang@soas.ac.uk________________________________________The views and opinions expressed on this podcast are those of the speakers and are not necessarily those of the SOAS China Institute.________________________________________SOAS China Institute (SCI)SCI BlogSCI on XSCI on LinkedInSCI on FacebookSCI on Instagram________________________________________Music credit: Sappheiros / CC BY 3.0

The St. Louis Morning Brief serves up a full plate of local accountability stories, starting with outrage over the Progress St. Louis Action Fund — fined just over $236,000 for hiding campaign contributions in the 2021 city elections, yet able to wipe the slate clean by paying a mere 10%. Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge call out the dark-money hypocrisy, tracing outside cash from a California charter-school nonprofit straight into races for Tishaura Jones and other city progressives. Then some good news: Governor Kehoe is signing a bill creating the Interscholastic Athletic Oversight Commission, finally giving families a real appeals process against MSHSAA rulings. But it's not all wins — Nature's Bakery is shutting down its Hazelwood facility, costing 300 workers their jobs as the company relocates to tax-friendly Nevada, a cautionary tale Marc ties directly to Missouri's own Amendment 5 debate. Plus, a St. Louis tech startup's new no-sensor vital-sign app, and city officials stalling on downtown data center regulations. It's local news that matters, delivered straight, on the Marc Cox Morning Show. Governor Mike Kehoe joins live at 7:06 — text your questions to 314-241-9797.

Dean of the College of Business and Economics at Anderson University, Steve Nails, returns to discuss the dramatic timeline of AI tech disruption. Nails predicts that 9.2 million white-collar knowledge-worker jobs will be fully eliminated within the next five to seven years, heavily impacting legal research and entry-level accounting. He emphasizes that upskilling in prompt engineering and data analytics is vital for Gen Z. Turning to global headlines, the show dives into a damning 180-page UK gang rape inquiry report, alleging that Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Labor Party systemically covered up a massive, decades-long human trafficking scandal to protect political interests.

By the time Leisha found the podcast, she had already done all the things people say should work. She had lived frugally, sacrificed constantly, sold belongings, skipped experiences, and spent years trying to budget her way out of stress. Still, the cycle kept repeating itself. What caught her attention wasn't another rigid money plan. It was hearing conversations that treated money as part of a real human life instead of a math problem disconnected from everything else. Leisha shares with Erin and Keri how discovering Get The Hell Out Of Debt changed far more than her bank account. While paying off debt across two countries, navigating complicated family dynamics, surviving four layoffs, and rebuilding her confidence from the inside out, she slowly stopped seeing herself as someone who was “bad with money.” Thanks to Erin and the support of our online community, she learned what becomes possible when you finally believe your future can look different than your past.

A New York Times report explores growing calls for an AI “safety net” as artificial intelligence reshapes work faster than expected. Economists and policymakers argue that new supports — from job retraining to income assistance — may be needed to protect workers displaced by rapid AI adoption. The White House is considering a plan to vet advanced AI models before they are publicly released, according to a Reuters report citing The New York Times. The proposal aims to reduce risks tied to powerful AI systems, including misinformation and national security threats, but could face pushback from tech companies over innovation and government oversight.

Andrew Yang — entrepreneur, bestselling author, UBI pioneer, and former Presidential candidate — sits down for a wide-ranging conversation covering everything from the existential threat of AI-driven job losses to the Democratic Party's identity crisis, cancel culture, fatherhood, and his bold 2028 election predictions. Yang opens up about his new book, addressing public perception, celebrity status, and life after a presidential run. He breaks down why cancel culture is more complex — and more damaging to society — than most people admit, and why Democrats urgently need to understand the politics of strength if they want to win again. On artificial intelligence and the future of work, Yang sounds the alarm: millions of jobs are at risk due to AI advancements, and the gains won't be shared equally unless we act now. He revisits his core argument for Universal Basic Income (UBI) and equitable distribution of AI's economic benefits. Yang also dives into Noble Mobile, his venture to slash cell phone costs and share profits directly with users — a real-world example of putting economic power back in everyday hands. Plus: Yang reflects on the challenges of fatherhood and shifting personal priorities, shares his outlook for the 2028 presidential race — including which candidates are best positioned to win — and explains why staying personally optimistic in dark times comes down to relationships and community.

Kamala Running Again is Madness. Labor Sec Chavez-DeRemer Resigns. Tim Cook Out Too. Dozens of Vets Arrested in Capitol. Tucker Done with Trump. Dua Lipa Steps Up. Welcome to Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff, Episode 499—an all‑new, all‑gas, no‑brakes conversation with entrepreneur, anti‑poverty activist, Forward Party founder, candidate for President and NYC Mayor, and Noble Mobile CEO Andrew Yang. From Nas and Knicks heartbreak at Madison Square Garden to Mets misery at Citi Field, Paul and Andrew break down why basketball, baseball and hoops culture offer a positive, global vision of the America we could be—while Trump's chaotic presidency, Iran war “mayhem,” and a broken two‑party system drag us backward. They talk New York fandom, James Dolan's facial‑recognition surveillance, pricing regular people out of the Garden, and why the NBA is one of America's best cultural exports right now. Then they go deep on the issue Andrew warned America about years ago: AI. Paul presses Andrew for a blunt strategic assessment—“how fucked or not fucked are we?”—and Andrew lays out three core pillars: AI gutting jobs and super‑charging corporate profits, Washington's utter failure to build real guardrails, and data centers quietly becoming the “new humans” as they devour power and water. They dig into AI in the nuclear kill chain, Anthropic's internal moral fight, “tax the bots,” and why Dario Amodei says AI will wipe out half of white‑collar entry‑level jobs. Andrew also unveils Noble Mobile—his new effort with Scott Galloway to lower your phone bill and your screen time—and explains how the Forward Party, open primaries and a fast‑growing independent ecosystem can finally give Americans a real alternative to Trump's MAGA GOP and an out‑of‑touch Democratic establishment -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Ditch your expensive carrier and support Independent Americans!

Not one but two negative payrolls. That's what we got from the latest update on the employment situation, a double dose of flat Beverage amidst a historic week in the oil market and another major escalation in the private credit bust. And all these things go together. The looming oil shock is coming at the worst possible time with employment already in this bad shape. And private credit, well, as I've been telling since last summer, negative payrolls would change everything.

For the past several years Germany has been deconstructing their fossil fuel energy production and replacing it with far more expensive alternatives. This has led to large increases in overall energy prices, and downstream increases in manufacturing costs. The consequences have been snowballing throughout 2025, while cheap competitive alternatives coming into the EU from China have compounded their problem. Recently a survey of major industries was conducted in Germany to determine the forecast for 2026, the results are not good. Approximately half of the industrial sectors in Germany are anticipating job losses, cuts or layoffs this year. 22 out of 46 business associations are preparing to downsize their labor force. Only 9 of the 46 are expected to increase hiring. Job losses are expected in auto manufacturing, the textile sector, wood and paper fabrication. Job gains are expected in aerospace, shipbuilding and defense production – i.e. the war machinery. When the largest and most developed industrial economy in Europe is pinning its economic survival on war machinery, a particular momentum is created. It is never a good outcome for Europe when Germany becomes reliant on war to maintain employment.

He took over the tradition from bassist William “Keter” Betts and maintained it for nearly two decades. This year marked an abrupt departure from that longstanding commitment. “When I saw the name change on the Kennedy Center website and then hours later on the building, I chose to cancel our concert,” Redd told The Associated Press. The Trump-Kennedy Center is pursuing a $1 million lawsuit against jazz musician Chuck Redd after he withdrew from his annual Christmas Eve concert at the last minute, citing the recent addition of President Trump’s name to the venue.

This pledge represents a fraction of historical U.S. contributions, which have reached up to $17 billion in recent years, with voluntary funding often in the $8-10 billion range. Administration officials describe the amount as sufficient to keep America as the world's top humanitarian donor while demanding greater efficiency from UN agencies. The funding will flow through an umbrella mechanism controlled by the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), allowing targeted distribution to specific crises and countries. Initial priorities include 17 nations such as Bangladesh, Congo, Haiti, Syria, and Ukraine. Notably absent from the list are Afghanistan and the Palestinian territories, with officials stating Gaza aid will tie into ongoing peace efforts. Source: discernreport.com War/Peace Did US Land Strikes On Venezuela Begin Last Week & No One Knew It? President Trump on Friday in a radio interview disclosed something which missed the attention of the US and global media. He let slip that a large land site had been knocked out by a strike from US forces in the Caribbean – however without specifying which country was hit (whether Venezuela or perhaps Colombia). o According to the full remarks in context, the president said: “But every time I knock out a boat, we save 25,000 American lives. It’s very simple. And what’s happening is they’re having a hard time employment-wise, they can’t get anybody. And we just talked out, I don’t know if you read or you saw, they [Venezuela] have a big plant or a big facility where the ships come from. Two nights ago, we knocked that out. So we hit them very hard. But drugs are down over 97 percent. Can you believe it?” Some unnamed American officials suggested to the New York Times that the Commander-in-Chief was referring to a drug facility in Venezuela: Trump did not name the location of the facility, though American officials told the New York Times that the president was referring to a drug facility in Venezuela that was eliminated. The president's comment is the only report of such an attack. No other Latin American government, including Venezuela, has disclosed a strike of this sort. : Source: zerohedge.com Zelensky Wants 50-Year(!) Security Guarantee From Trump A major point of disagreement remains security guarantees. Ukraine has been pushing maximalist demands for something akin to NATO Article 5 protections. It would be like getting all the benefits of being in NATO but without being a formal member of the Western military alliance. The Ukrainian side has revealed that President Trump had offered security guarantees for 15 years following a peaceful settlement, but Zelensky considered this much too short to protect from future potential Russian aggression. But in classic Zelensky fashion, he wants way more than this. Also, maximalist demands are something that European leaders have backed him on all along – and they may have even put him up to. According to The Wall Street Journal: Kyiv had asked for security guarantees to last up to 50 years after the end of the conflict during weekend discussions. In the documents currently being discussed, the U.S. offered a 15-year guarantee with the possibility of extension, Zelensky said in audio messages to journalists on Monday.

Now you add two parents, that’s $180,000. Now you add your in-laws $250,000.” “You continue to add this and you wonder what are the services being provided? So a lot of providers came and said fraud is occurring because we said we weren’t going to rubber stamp this paperwork.” “So they went to other providers, their home health care networks saying we’ll make it worth your while. Well, sounds like a kickback to me.” “So we really need to investigate the Medicaid system and how much it’s increased since the Somalian population came and who really needs critical care because that’s meant for our disabled, our elderly and people who really need it, not to just live off our system.” “And that’s what’s happening in Ohio. I think it’s ridiculous. I think it’s despicable, but authorities are now looking at it from the Attorney General’s office to the U.S. Attorney’s office.” “I flagged them all because this is Ohio tax dollars and we have to take it seriously.

This year he focused on the country's youngest children and their families' need for high-quality child care.” The Obama administration was a gigantic money laundering operation. “The President explained the need in last Tuesday's address stating, “In today's economy, when having both parents in the workforce is an economic necessity for many families, we need affordable, high quality childcare more than ever.” “But the child care tax credit isn't all the President proposed.” “He would also significantly expand the Child Care and Development Fund(CCDF), a child care subsidy for low- and moderate-income families authorized under the Child Care Block Development Grant (CCDBG) Act. (CCDBG was reauthorized last year after 18 years.) By 2025, the proposed expansion would increase the reach of CCDF to an additional one million children, under four-years-old.” Taxpayers subsidies and grants for “childcare.” “The last part of the President's proposal, in typical Obama Administration-style, is a competitive grant that would promote innovation in the child care system. The proposed grants– totaling $100 million– would allow states to create pilot programs to determine the best ways to provide child care to vulnerable populations, including children with disabilities, parents who work non-traditional hours, and families who have difficulty finding high-quality child care.” https://newamerica.org/education-policy/edcentral/presidents-child-care-plan/ Taxpayers “grants” totaling $100 million (for starters) to be given to “vulnerable populations.” Can you say “Somali?” Taxpayers funding of “childcare,” was a “necessity” for the funding of the democrat party. The Somali community was always a hub of this “childcare” theft of taxpayers money. It was set up this way on purpose. A Somali community, governed by Somali's and protected by the democrat party. The Somali's were being brought into this country starting with the George W. Bush's presidency. But Obama began accelerating the number of refugees from Somalia along with other Muslim countries. Here's just the last year under Obama. “A total of 38,901 Muslim refugees entered the U.S. in fiscal year 2016, making up almost half (46%) of the nearly 85,000 refugees who entered the country in that period, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of data from the State Department's Refugee Processing Center. That means the U.S. has admitted the highest number of Muslim refugees of any year since data on self-reported religious affiliations first became publicly available in 2002.” “Just two countries – Syria (12,486) and Somalia (9,012) – were the source of more than half of fiscal 2016's Muslim refugees. The rest are from Iraq (7,853), Burma (Myanmar) (3,145), Afghanistan (2,664) and other countries (3,741).” https://pewresearch.org/short-reads/2016/10/05/u-s-admits-record-number-of-muslim-refugees-in-2016/ Obama was an installed puppet of Prince Alwaleed and was doing his bidding. Obama filled his administration with people tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, who were implementing their “civilization jihad.” These communities began electing corrupt representatives like Ilhan Omar. Infiltration not invasion. Taxpayers money was funneled into these communities through “childcare grants” and other “welfare programs,” in order to fund the democrat party. Minnesota is just the “doorway” into a much larger nationwide fraud scheme to fund the democrat party. A magnifying glass is about to be put on ALL state welfare programs that are receiving “federal funding.” These grants and benefits handed out to these crooks, are now the doorway to expose and bring them all to an end.

They must think that every day Americans have the same >IQ as Somali citizens.

Specific cases vary by act. ‘Ten-year stain:' Bondi asks prosecutors to probe Obama-Biden lawfare as criminal conspiracy FBI Director Kash Patel penned a memo predicating an investigation looking at the weaponization of intelligence and law-enforcement powers dating to the Russia collusion case as an ongoing conspiracy. Attorney General Pam Bondi asked the prosecutors to investigate the Obama-Biden era of lawfare as an ongoing election-meddling conspiracy that protected Democrats from criminal investigation and infringed the civil rights of Republicans like President Donald Trump and his supporters. An “ongoing conspiracy” and the statute of limitations Such an approach allows prosecutors to charge defendants with alleged crimes outside the statute of limitations because they were connected to an ongoing conspiracy, much like those cases brought against the mafia and drug cartels. “At my direction, our U.S. Attorneys and federal agents are actively investigating instances of government weaponization nationwide,” Bondi said. “This is a ten-year stain on the country committed by high-ranking officials against the American people.

They opposed the One Big Beautiful Bill because it funds ICE/US MIL, and they know Trump is going to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy troops to their cities to assist ICE in deporting the illegals. If the Dems can't cheat in elections, they lose access to our tax dollars, and thus they lose all their power. They never cared about diversity, equality, equity, inclusion, immigration or any of that shit. It was all just a transaction. Everything they say and do is just a means to justify their treasonous scheme to steal our tax dollars. That's why it's so important to nuke the filibuster, pass the Save Act, invoke the Insurrection Act, deport all the illegals, and arrest everyone involved. If we don't, the Dems will take complete control, we will become a one-party State, and they will eventually phase us out via mass immigration. That's why the Dems have been trying to destroy, obstruct, and kill Trump, ever since he came down the escalator. Because they knew that he knew about all this, and is on a mission to stop it. The American People are being replaced, and the Democrats are directly responsible for it. This is the battle for the Republic.
