Podcasts about Make America Great Again

What if everything the "experts" told us about globalization, economics, and the future was wrong? Dr. Steve Turley, the "Patriot Professor" and author of over 20 books, joins Robert Bortins to discuss his latest work "America Awakened: The Collapse of Globalism and the Return to Faith, Family, and Freedom." They explore why globalism is collapsing after decades of dominance, how civilizational populism is rising worldwide, and what the new post-secular civilization will look like. The conversation covers the spiritual revival happening globally, the importance of classical education in preserving traditional values, the role of AI and technology in returning us to more human-centered approaches, and how the "people versus the permanent political class" realignment is reshaping politics. Dr. Turley explains why he's optimistic about America's future and how MAGA represents a uniquely American expression of the global return to faith, family, and freedom.   Resources: https://www.youtube.com/@DrSteveTurleyTV   https://turleytalks.com/   America Awakened: The Collapse of Globalism and the Return to Faith, Family, and Freedom https://www.amazon.com/America-Awakened-Collapse-Globalism-Freedom/dp/B0FFCWKH2R   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by: Have you heard?

Ladies and gentlemen, gather ‘round for a dose of reality so potent, even CNN's fact-checkers would need a lie-down afterward. We are living in the era of Donald J. Trump—a man who, against all odds, against all media hysterics, against every late-night host's nervous breakdown—continues to operate at a level that makes mere mortals look like extras in the background of Idiocracy.Now, I wasn't always a Trump acolyte. I didn't have a "Make America Great Again" hat collection in 2015. But here's the thing about reality—it has a way of humbling even the most skeptical among us. And what we're witnessing isn't just a presidency; it's a masterclass in how to dominate the global stage while your opponents are still trying to figure out why their latest smear campaign flopped harder than CNN+.Let's talk about the man's mind.

With political landscapes across Europe shifting, in this edition of International Report we explore the growing influence of Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" movement on the continent's politics.  Conservative think tanks, whose influence was once limited to Washington's corridors of power, are now establishing connections with political actors and organisations in countries such as Poland and Hungary, working to shape Europe's future. This report delves into the activities of the Heritage Foundation and its burgeoning alliances with groups including Ordo Iuris in Poland and the Mathias Corvinus Collegium in Hungary. These organisations advocate for conservative cultural and economic reforms, sparking heated debate over national identity, the structure of the European Union and the future of liberal democracy across the region. Can Europe withstand the ripple effect of the MAGA political wave? As alliances form and agendas clash, a crucial question looms: are these movements charting a course toward genuine European reform, or steering the continent toward greater division?  Voices from both sides share their perspectives, revealing the complexity behind this transatlantic ideological exchange. Our guests:  Chris Murphy, Senator (D, Connecticut) Kenneth Haar, researcher at Corporate Europe Observatory  Zbigniew Przybylowski, development director at Ordo Iuris Rodrigo Ballester, head of the Centre for European Studies at Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC)

Huldeblyke stroom in vir die WWE-legende Hulk Hogan, wat in die ouderdom van 71 dood is. Nooddienste het 'n oproep van sy huis in Clearwater, Florida om 10-uur Donderdagoggend ontvang oor 'n hartstilstand-geval, en hy is later in die hospitaal dood verklaar. Hogan, oftewel Terry Bollea, was die grootste professionele stoeier van die 1980's en '90's en het roem bereik in die World Wrestling Entertainment, of WWE formaat. Hy het ook omstredenheid veroorsaak en is uit die WWE heldesaal geskop oor rassistiese aanmerkings. Hy is hertoegelaat in 2020, toe hy aktief geword het in Donald Trump se “Make America Great Again”-beweging. Hogan het in 2012 met die BBC gepraat. Luister self.

Presa europeană comentează pe marginea unui subiect controversat din perioada de campanie a președintelui SUA, Donald Trump. Acesta a promis desecretizarea documentelor din scandalul „Epstein”. Jurnaliștii internaționali privesc cu scepticism această promisiune, întrebându-se dacă Trump se va ține de cuvânt. Semnul întrebării rămâne ridicat, iar discuțiile continuă. „Sub lupa propriilor susținători”, titrează ziarul britanic The Independent. „Maestrul teoriilor conspirației este acum el însuși amenințat de o teorie a conspirației”, scrie The Independent: „Pentru prima dată, baza nu cumpără ceea ce vinde Donald Trump. (...) Deși ieri a anunțat, în cele din urmă, că i-a cerut procurorului general Pam Bondi să elibereze dosarele „pertinente” (...) mișcarea ar putea fi prea puțin și prea târziu. (...) Nu este chiar ca în cazul Dr. Frankenstein, să piardă controlul asupra monstrului pe care l-a creat, dar dacă trăiești prin teoria conspirației... așa cum a făcut Trump... poți muri și prin ea.” The Conversation ridică o întrebare directă: „Se clatină loialitatea mișcării MAGA?” Criminologul Robert Dover comentează: „Întrebarea dacă mișcarea Make America Great Again este acum mai mare decât Trump va rămâne. Pentru un președinte care a glumit odată că ar putea «să stea în mijlocul Fifth Avenue și să împuște pe cineva fără să piardă niciun votant», loialitatea și flexibilitatea susținătorilor săi sunt cruciale. Mișcarea MAGA nu este monolitică în convingerile sau acțiunile sale. Dar dacă Trump pierde loialitatea unei părți a trupelor sale, sau dacă acestea refuză să se conformeze, așa cum au făcut până acum, acest lucru l-ar putea costa scump din punct de vedere politic. De dincolo de mormânt, Epstein ar putea foarte bine să fi inaugurat o nouă eră în politica americană.” Cei de la CNN nu au ezitat să se alăture comentariilor despre scandalul care îl implică pe Trump. Ei au formulat cinci întrebări privind apropierea dintre Trump și Epstein, precum și posibilitatea ca fostul președinte să fie menționat direct în documentele desecretizate: „Ce știa Trump despre înclinațiile lui Epstein?”, întreabă jurnaliștii CNN. „Întrebările despre cine știa, ce și când în legătură cu comportamentul lui Epstein persistă de mult timp. Proprietatea Mar-a-Lago a lui Trump a fost fundalul unora dintre fărădelegile lui Epstein. Iar legăturile sociale dintre Epstein și Trump se învârteau adesea în jurul femeilor.”  The Washington Post notează tranșant: „Trump a supraviețuit multor scandaluri, dar povestea Epstein este un cu totul alt test.” Politico își începe articolul cu un mesaj direct adresat activistei de extremă dreapta Laura Loomer, care susține că Trump nu are legătură cu dosarele Epstein: „Ne pare rău, Laura Loomer. Este extrem de puțin probabil ca Departamentul de Justiție al președintelui Donald Trump să dea curs apelului comentatorului de extremă dreapta de a numi un consilier special care să gestioneze dosarele Jeffrey Epstein, din motive atât practice, cât și politice: pentru a face acest lucru ar fi nevoie de o răsturnare de situație de proporții atât de mari încât pare aproape imposibil de imaginat.” Jeffrey Epstein, un businessman apropiat al lui Donald Trump, a fost arestat în 6 iulie 2019, sub acuzația federală de trafic de minori în scopuri sexuale, în beneficiul mai multor apropiați ai săi. Epstein s-a sinucis în închisoare nu mult timp după aceea, la 10 august 2019, potrivit Wikipedia.   Articol redactat de Cezar Ionuț Ionescu

C dans l'air du 17 juillet 2025 : Epstein, Poutine, droits de douane… Trump lâché par les siens ? Emission présentée par LORRAIN SÉNÉCHALLa base électorale de Donald Trump est-elle en train de le lâcher ? Depuis quelques semaines, certains partisans du président des États-Unis lui reprochent le bombardement de l'Iran ou l'envoi d'armes supplémentaires à l'Ukraine. D'autres critiquent sa grande loi budgétaire et sa politique migratoire. Mais aucun sujet n'a provoqué autant de divisions au sein de la sphère "MAGA" (Make America Great Again) que le dossier Jeffrey Epstein, depuis la publication par les autorités, le 7 juillet dernier, d'un mémorandum concluant à l'absence d'éléments susceptibles de relancer l'enquête.Jeffrey Epstein, financier américain accusé d'avoir exploité sexuellement des mineures pendant des années, avait été retrouvé pendu dans sa cellule à New York en 2019, avant d'être jugé. Depuis, l'affaire alimente de nombreuses théories complotistes. Donald Trump avait promis de faire toute la lumière sur ce qu'il qualifiait de dossier "répugnant", s'il revenait à la Maison-Blanche. Mais l'annonce récente de la justice affirmant qu'"aucune liste de clients" secrète n'existe a été perçue par une partie de ses soutiens comme une trahison.Sur les réseaux sociaux, certains internautes vont jusqu'à se filmer en train de brûler leur casquette rouge "Make America Great Again". Des photos d'Epstein aux côtés de Trump refont surface et sont largement partagées. La gêne gagne même certains élus républicains, tandis que la polémique enfle.Face aux critiques, Donald Trump accuse les démocrates de manipuler l'opinion publique et s'en prend à ses anciens soutiens qui s'écartent de sa ligne. "Laissez ces mauviettes faire le jeu des démocrates (…) je ne veux plus de leur soutien !", a-t-il lancé. "Ils sont stupides", a-t-il insisté mercredi depuis le Bureau ovale.Dans le même temps, le président a relancé la guerre commerciale, menaçant d'imposer des taxes supplémentaires de 30 % sur les biens en provenance de l'Union européenne et du Mexique à partir du 1er août, à défaut d'accord commercial d'ici là. Donald Trump a également annoncé avoir lancé un ultimatum à Vladimir Poutine, donnant 50 jours à la Russie pour mettre fin à la guerre en Ukraine, sous peine de sanctions économiques sévères.LES EXPERTS : - Anthony BELLANGER - Éditorialiste - Franceinfo TV/ Spécialiste des questions internationales- Georgina WRIGHT - Conseillère spéciale, spécialiste des questions transatlantiques/ German Marshall Fund- Lauric HENNETON- Spécialiste des États-Unis - Maître de conférences à l'Université Versailles-Saint Quentin- Marie-Cécile NAVES - Politologue, directrice de recherche - IRIS, spécialiste des États-Unis

When convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in a New York jail in 2019, conspiracy theories about his death began circulating. Now, some of Donald Trump's Make America Great Again supporters are furious that the US president is refusing to release files linked to a sex trafficking investigation, which many think contain a list of Epstein's high profile clients. Today, John Barron, co-host of the ABC's Planet America program, on why the president's usual playbook for getting himself out of trouble isn't working this time. Featured: John Barron, co-host of Planet America

Six ans après sa mort, « Jeffrey Epstein est en train de semer la zizanie dans la coalition trumpiste, » écrit le Figaro. Le scandale couve depuis plusieurs jours, sans s'éteindre, au contraire : il semble s'étendre, et gagne la presse des deux côtés de l'Atlantique. Il faut dire, souligne le Guardian, que Donald Trump « peine à contenir la crise politique naissante au sein de sa base Make America Great Again, habituellement loyale ». En cause ? « Des soupçons, selon lesquels l'administration cache des détails des crimes d'Epstein », accusé de diriger un réseau de trafic sexuel pédocriminel avant de se suicider en prison. Et ce silence serait orchestré « pour protéger les riches élites avec lesquelles Epstein était associé, dont Donald Trump ».  Au premier abord, l'affaire a tout de la « théorie du complot, » reconnaît le New York Times. Pourtant, on le sait désormais, c'est bien vrai : « parmi les associés d'Epstein se trouvaient beaucoup des personnes les plus puissantes de la planète ». Bill Gates, le couple Clinton, ou encore le prince Andrew en font partie. Au point, retrace le Figaro, de devenir « une obsession chez nombre de membres de la faction d'extrême droite trumpiste (…). C'est un des éléments fondateurs de la philosophie de leur mouvement : les élites dirigeantes sont capables du pire, puisqu'elles ont pris la défense d'un ramassis de pédophiles ». Le camp MAGA a donc réclamé sans relâche la publication d'une supposée « liste de clients » qui permettrait d'y voir plus clair.  L'arroseur arrosé  Après avoir remué le sujet pendant sa campagne et « généré une profonde paranoïa » chez ses soutiens, écrit le Guardian, voilà que l'administration du magnat « affirme qu'il n'existe pas de liste de clients d'Epstein à publier ». Conclusion, constate le Figaro : « Donald Trump est coincé : s'il n'y a réellement pas de liste, cela signifie qu'il a menti, et exploité une affaire sordide à des fins politiques ; si elle existe, cela laisse entendre qu'il veut cacher son contenu, car elle comprend des noms qu'il veut protéger – dont peut être le sien ». Par ailleurs, renchérit le Washington Post, si les électeurs « ultra » de Trump « pensent que Trump peut trahir leur confiance pour protéger ce qu'il y a dans les supposés "dossiers Epstein", ils pourraient commencer à se demander si [le président] leur a menti à d'autres sujets », là aussi dans l'objectif de protéger ses amis « riches et puissants ».  Pendant un temps, Trump et son entourage ont espéré que « la controverse se calme avec le temps, » comme cela a toujours été le cas jusqu'à présent. Raison pour laquelle, rappelle le Guardian, le président a balayé les interrogations, déclarant par exemple qu' « il ne comprend pas pourquoi cette affaire plutôt ennuyante intéresserait qui que ce soit ». Sans succès.  Une nouvelle stratégie  Inspirée du célèbre dicton selon lequel la meilleure défense, c'est l'attaque, le président américain vise large : « il s'en est pris à ses propres supporters, raconte le Guardian, qu'il a qualifiés de "faiblards naïfs" ». Surtout, il fait ce qu'il sait faire de mieux : il s'en prend aux démocrates. « Dans son scénario, analyse ainsi le New York Times, les dossiers ne font plus partie d'un complot, mais sont en réalité un "canular" et une campagne de diffamation des démocrates à l'encontre de son administration ». La colère de ses soutiens ne serait plus liée à la gestion de l'affaire, mais, « un stratagème mijoté par la gauche ». Là encore, sans succès. Pour le Post, ce moment est crucial pour les démocrates qui ont l'occasion de « rappeler aux votants que le véritable populisme consiste à demander des comptes au pouvoir, même quand il réside au Bureau ovale » - et pour ce faire, les élus de gauche devraient, juge le titre, « traiter l'affaire Epstein comme un scandale de corruption orchestré par les élites » plutôt que « comme une théorie du complot ». La gauche pourra-t-elle, avec cette affaire, éloigner certains électeurs du camp MAGA ? Seul l'avenir le dira, mais, une chose est sûre, pour le Figaro : « des tensions sont apparues ces dernières semaines » et « pas seulement sur l'affaire Epstein ». Bref, « cette rébellion de la base ultra semble signer la fin de la lune de miel avec le président ».

Dave McCormick—United States Senator from Pennsylvania—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap yesterday's successful Energy & Innovation Summit where CEOs from some of the biggest tech companies in the country pledged to invest $92 billion in Pennsylvania, much of which will go towards energy infrastructure allowing for the domestic development of artificial intelligence. 3:45pm- While speaking to the press on Wednesday, President Donald Trump said that people claiming his administration is preventing the release of Jeffrey Epstein files are being “foolish.” 4:05pm- On Wednesday, New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani visited with several Democratic members of Congress—including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Andre Carson, and Pramila Jayapal. While speaking with the press, Carter downplayed Mamdani's past calls to “globalize the intifada.” Carter suggested that some people use the phrase “symbolically.” 4:40pm- Matt says “F1” starring Brad Pitt is the best movie he has seen all year—which might be the least crazy thing he has said in a while.

Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba is now investigating Murphy over those comments. 5:20pm- Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) has announced that he is conducting an independent investigation into Gavin Newsom's response to COVID-19. The investigation will definitely be objective, right? Plus, Newsom now insists he LOVES the Second Amendment! 5:30pm- Chinese-based Unitree Robotics has brought “The Rizzbot” to Los Angeles, California. The Rizzbot is a gay humanoid robot that stands 4 feet tall and weighs 77 pounds. 5:40pm- Several reports have suggested that President Donald Trump plans to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

The writing is on the wall. As Gaza ceasefire talks flail, if not fail for the umpteenth time, a series of vignettes tell the story of Israel's increasingly shrinking support base in the United States and Europe. Alarmingly for Israel, the vignettes reflect mounting criticism of the Jewish state in US President Donald J. Trump's Make America Great Again and America First support base, as well as among European leaders. To be sure, Chirstian Zionists and pro-Israel Evangelicals remain an important segment of Mr. Trump's base. Similarly, European leaders have yet to put their money where their mouth is. Even so, failing to do so is becoming increasingly difficult. That realisation may be registering on Israeli radars. Not that it will change Israel's indefensible conduct of the Gaza war. Instead, Israel's response resembles Hans Brinker, the boy in Mary Mapes Dodge's 19th century children's novel, who puts his finger in a Dutch dike to prevent a major breach.

This episode tackles the fallout from President Trump's proposed tariffs on foreign production—from the perspective of a Ian Poake navigating uncertainty in Hollywood. We unpack how a 100% tariff on work done outside the U.S. could drive up production costs, scare off greenlighters, and threaten countless jobs in pre- and post-production. Hear why these policies, despite aiming to “bring Hollywood home,” risk alienating international partners, stalling new projects, and sparking market volatility. Our guest shares firsthand concerns about the ripple effects on acting opportunities, the global supply chain, and the delicate balance of tax credits that once lured crews abroad. Whether you're an actor, filmmaker, or industry insider, this conversation delivers a clear-eyed analysis of policy impacts and offers strategies to advocate for a sustainable creative economy.

We act like the missiles decide their targets. As if the Hellfire drone strike has free will. But in modern warfare—and in modern narrative warfare—the target isn't a target until someone paints it.Laser-guided munitions don't wake up one day and say, “That guy.” They wait. For a signal. A beam. A blinking beacon hidden under the floorboards. The ordnance doesn't think. It follows.And in our endless info-war of vibes and virality, it's the same. Redditors, TikTok rage reels, MeidasTouch-style echo chambers—those are just the munitions. They're not autonomous. They're reactive. What matters is: Who painted the target?Was it a whisper campaign? A blue-checked influencer who switched lanes? Was it a newsletter, a leak, a leak about a newsletter? Who snuck past the perimeter and aimed the dot?This is the essay.We don't talk enough about the targeting package. The long-range recon patrol who slips behind lines to mark something—someone—as worthy of outrage. Maybe they parachuted in. Maybe they're already embedded. Either way, their job is to illuminate.Then comes the kill chain:Think tank report (intel)Atlantic op-ed (authorization)Twitter thread (delivery)TikTok (warhead)You never even saw the spotter.One day, Trump is the darling of Manhattan media, a beloved caricature. The next, he's worse than Hitler. Bin Laden? Our Cold War asset. Saddam? Our oil-stabilizing friend. Gaddafi? Photographed with Condi Rice's mixtape on his nightstand. Then: all painted. All vaporized.Even Putin was “New Russia” once—mining nickel, flirting with NATO. Now he's an eternal villain, an ex-KGB fascist oligarch.

Donald Trump was elected on the promise of putting America first and staying out of foreign conflicts. So the US President's decision to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities caused the first and very public split among his Make America Great Again base, with influential figures like Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon leading the charge against US involvement.Today, senior political correspondent for the Wall Street Journal Molly Ball on the fighting MAGA factions and what it means for Trump. Featured: Molly Ball, senior political correspondent for The Wall Street Journal

Host of “Bannon's War Room” Steve Bannon joins to discuss how President Trump can move forward from this. Glenn and Steve also discuss how the MAGA movement can broker its own ceasefire. Are we in the kinetic part of World War III? Glenn brings up the dangers of sleeper-cell agents in America, brought in under Biden's abysmal border policy. Glenn reveals how he reacted when he first heard the news of a potential ceasefire between Israel and Iran and how it quickly fell apart. Glenn and Stu discuss the impossible task President Trump is facing and whether the Israel-Iran conflict is too far gone to be saved. Glenn reacts to the claim that Trump violated the Constitution by striking Iran. The guys discuss Israel's expert tactics so far in this war, as Stu reveals the part of the ceasefire he didn't understand. Glenn reacts to a heartwarming message from a World War II veteran.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, President Trump announced a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, ending a 12-day war. What will it be about this agreement to ensure they don't violate it? Iran should face unconditional surrender due to its weakened military and lack of support from allies like China, Russia, or Arab nations. Trump's decisive military actions prevented Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, which no other president, including Clinton, Obama, or Biden, was willing or able to accomplish.  Without Trump's intervention, Iran would have become a nuclear power, potentially arming groups like the Houthis and enabling terrorist sleeper cells in the U.S. to acquire dirty bombs. Also, Trump's actions on Iran have ensured peace for a period. But there's a group of individuals—Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, and others—who are undermining Trump and aligning with radical left ideologies, including anti-Israel sentiments. These figures, supported by liberal media, aim to sabotage Trump's movement and the next election. Later, Marc Thiessen calls in to discuss a Reagan Institute poll showing that MAGA Republicans strongly support U.S. global leadership, rejecting isolationism. The poll indicates 90% of MAGA voters prioritize preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, aligning with Trump's decision to join Israel's strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. The claims of a splintering MAGA base over Trump's Iran policy are exaggerated, as isolationist critics represent a small minority within the GOP. Finally, Lee Smith calls in and discusses how Trump's political opponents, particularly within the Democratic Party and aligned institutions, have pursued strategies aimed at humbling America to counter his influence. These efforts stem from a belief that Trump's "Make America Great Again" rhetoric and policies threaten their vision of a globalized, progressive world order. Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Jason as he explains how the WNBA has evolved into a modern soap opera, albeit a poorly scripted drama. Caitlin Clark is the lead in this soap opera, as both the protagonist and antagonist. Joy Taylor's recent take proclaiming that Clark's fame is thanks to Angel Reese is the current plot that Jason highlights, along with the ever-present Alphabet Mafia policing WNBA broadcasts. Steve Kim joins the discussion to pontificate on the fact that the league doesn't Make America Great Again; Max Kellerman teaming up with Dana White and returning to the media stage for a major boxing match; and Tyrese Haliburton proclaiming he wouldn't change his decision to play through a calf injury that eventually led to a year-long sideline. Last, the NFL seems to deepen ties with Jay-Z. Make sure to tune in to Harmony afterward, as Jason explains why Genesis 12:3 has become a topic of conversation, as well as the ongoing stories in the Middle East. Jason also explains recent spats involving Tucker Carlson, Ted Cruz, and Elon Musk. ​​Today's Sponsors: Relief Factor With Relief Factor, you'll feel better every day, and you'll live better every day.

It's Monday, June 23rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Christian persecution pervades Christian-majority nations in Africa & Latin America Many Christians across Africa and Latin America continue to suffer for their faith because of Islamic oppression, dictatorial paranoia, and criminal cartel organizations, reports International Christian Concern. Large populations in Cuba, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mexico, Mozambique, Nicaragua, and Nigeria are predominantly Christian. Yet, many Christ followers in these nations are often brutally attacked for following Christ, and their governments are failing to protect them.  In Congo, Christians represent 95% of the nation's population, yet they are being slaughtered at alarming rates. Much of the killing is being done by Islamist groups like ISIS-DRC, also known as the Allied Democratic Forces. Likewise, in Mozambique, 62% of the population is composed of Christians, yet Islamic extremists still target them for their faith. According to Open Doors, these extremists have “target[ed] Christian places of worship, abducted religious leaders, and killed numerous believers.”  And in Cuba, the Catholic Church estimates that 60% of the population practices Catholicism. Cuban churches that publicly oppose the government's human rights abuses are targeted by authorities for harassment and intimidation. British House of Commons passes dangerous bill legalizing assisted suicide Members of the British House of Commons voted Friday to pass a dangerous bill to legalize assisted suicide, reports LifeNews.com. In a vote of 314 to 291, Members of Parliament put their stamp of approval on the bill that will likely result in pressuring disabled and elderly people to kill themselves. Isaiah 59:7 says, “Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.” Tim Dieppe, Head of Policy at Christian Concern, was outraged. DIEPPE: “Once you legalize assisted suicide, you will put pressure on vulnerable people. Vulnerable people will feel like they're a burden to others. People will be suggesting assisted suicide. Doctors could suggest it. I mean, that's horrific. You know, my wife died of cancer three years ago. I can't imagine what it would be like if her consultant had suggested suicide.” Labour legislator Diane Abbott said she's concerned that for-profit companies will run assisted dying businesses that take advantage of killing people for money. Members of Parliament had only 10 hours to consider over 130 amendments to the bill, or less than 5 minutes per change. America bombed Iran's nuclear facilities On Saturday, the U.S. military bombed three sites in Iran, directly joining Israel's effort to decapitate the country's nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe amid Tehran's threat of reprisals that could spark a wider regional conflict, reports the Associated Press. TRUMP: “A short time ago, the US military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise. Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror. “Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier. For 40 years, Iran has been saying, ‘Death to America, Death to Israel.'” The decision to directly involve the U.S. in the war comes after more than a week of strikes by Israel on Iran that aimed to systematically eradicate the country's air defenses and offensive missile capabilities, while damaging its nuclear enrichment facilities. TRUMP: “I want to thank and congratulate [Israeli] Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before, and we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel. I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done. And most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades.” (Learn more about the timeline that led up to America's bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities.) Iran threatens to block Strait of Hormuz, blocking 20% of oil shipments In response, Iran is reportedly saying it will block the Strait of Hormuz and stop oil shipments for what amounts to 20% of the world's daily oil flow and up to $1 billion, which will send oil prices soaring globally, reports NewsMax. Needless to say, Iran has no legal authority to block traffic through Hormuz, and blockage would mean direct combat with U.S. naval assets, including the U.S. Fifth Fleet warships patrolling the region. Dear Lord, We pray for peace. Amen. The 30,000-pound bunker bomb that made the difference In a post on TruthSocial, Trump said, “There is not another military in the world that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!” Indeed, America's 30,000-pound bunker buster bomb offered the best chance of destroying heavily fortified sites connected to the Iranian nuclear program buried deep underground. Appearing on ABC News, Retired Lt. General Doug Lute explained. LUTE: “The original purpose of building this bomb was actually concern about the North Korean deeply buried nuclear related sites. So, this didn't originally have anything to do with Iran. But most recently, it's the only bomb in our inventory, or frankly, in the global inventory, that promises some prospect of actually penetrating the mountainside in which the crown jewel of the Iranian nuclear program, the Fordow site, is located. So, this is our best technological advantage in terms of trying to get to that site.” 90% of Trump Republicans say “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon” Appearing on Fox News Channel with Dana Perino, Chris Stirewalt summarized Trump's mindset about Iran. STIREWALT: “I think that Donald Trump has never wavered from the ultimate objective, which is that the Iranian nuclear program has to end. It has to be dismantled. It has to be destroyed. The only question has been whether it's done militarily or whether it's done voluntarily. “He gave them a 60-day deadline. They let the deadline pass, and so Israel began bombing on Day 61 and now he is basically holding out. ‘This is your last chance. The time for negotiation is over. There's not going to be any kind of deal.' “This is a question of whether Iran cries ‘amo,' which is Persian for ‘uncle,' and allows U.S. to come in and blow up Fordow from the inside, or we do it from without, from the skies above, with B2 bombers. But I think there is zero chance that the Fordow nuclear facility survives this encounter.” Stirewalt asserted that the Make America Great Again crowd is supportive of Trump's decision to bomb Iran. STIREWALT: “The idea that there's a schism in the Republican Party, or that the Trump Coalition is breaking up is completely absurd. The Reagan Institute is coming out with a new poll this weekend. 90% of self-described [Make America Great Again] Republicans say Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. 80% say that Israel's security is vital to our security. 64% support Israel bombing the nuclear facilities. There is absolutely no daylight between Donald Trump and the  [Make America Great Again] movement. The MAGA movement is absolutely behind Donald Trump in getting rid of this nuclear program.” On Truth Social, President Trump posted, “I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal.” He concluded, “This is an historic moment for the United States of America, Israel, and the world. Iran must now agree to end this war.” Texas answers  “What is a Woman?” in state law Last Friday, Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott signed into law the “What is a Woman Bill” also known as House Bill 229, reports Texas Values. Now, in Texas, men can no longer pretend to be women. The law accurately defines the terms “man”, “woman”, “boy”, and “girl” by scientific definitions and biological reality. The effect would be that biological  women will have their rights, opportunities, and privacy protected by law. Genesis 1:27 states,  “So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.” While Texas already has laws protecting women's sports, there have been many other threats to women's prisons, sororities, and private spaces like locker rooms.  Hockey player gives glory to God after winning Stanley Cup The Russian-born goaltender of the National Hockey League's Florida Panthers, Sergei Bobrovsky, gave glory to God upon his victory after his team won the famed Stanley Cup, the championship trophy in the NHL, for the second year in a row, reports LifeSiteNews.com. REPORTER: “What makes this one special?” BOBROVSKY: “I mean, it's amazing feeling, and I want to say glory to the father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. I want to thank him for everything I have, for my parents, for my family.” Worldview listener in California is grateful the whole family can listen I invited Worldview listeners to share what they enjoy about the newscast in 2-6 sentences by email.  You can share your thoughts — along with your full name, city and state — and send it to adam@TheWorldview.com Carri Andry in Morgan Hill, California wrote, “Hi Adam!

Beyond shifting the paradigm of Middle Eastern geopolitics, Israel's dramatic strikes against Iran are likely to shape the outcome of a battle within the Trump administration over US policy towards the region. The battle, with Israel at its core, pits Make America Great Again proponents against pro-Israel figures in the administration, with Iran constituting a major battlefield. Putting Iran on the front burner, Israel's attacks have presented US President Donald J. Trump with his most serious foreign policy conundrum to date. Mr. Trump's problem is foreign and domestic.

In this episode of Ellis Conversations, co-host Jamil Ellis sits down again with his father, retired federal magistrate Judge Ronald Ellis, to mark Loving Day — the anniversary of Loving v. Virginia, the 1967 Supreme Court case that struck down bans on interracial marriage. What starts as a reflection on Loving Day quickly becomes a powerful and wide-ranging discussion about: How distorted historical narratives fuel today's rollback of civil rights Why anti-DEI forces rely on historical erasure The forgotten legal barriers against women The dangerous nostalgia embedded in the “Make America Great Again” slogan A look at Project 2025, the Federalist Society, and how today's Supreme Court is targeting many of the Warren Court's civil rights decisions From All in the Family to Sidney Poitier, from welfare state debates to voting rights, Judge Ellis breaks down the legal and cultural legacy at stake.   Relevant Links & Resources: Loving v.

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu may be grasping at straws in his hope that US President Donald J. Trump will continue to back his refusal to end the Gaza war and resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The prime minister is placing a risky bet that Mr. Trump's recent suggestion that he is focussing on Iran nuclear negotiations, China, and Russia rather than Gaza means that the continued rise of Make America Great Again protagonists within his administration will not shift the president's attitude towards the war. Speaking about his feud with billionaire Elon Musk, Mr. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, "Honestly, I've been so busy working on China, working on Russia, working on Iran... I'm not thinking about Elon Musk.” By implication, Mr. Trump suggested that he was also not thinking of Gaza by not mentioning the war as part of his agenda. To be sure, by doing so, Mr. Trump was allowing Mr. Netanyahu to continue the war. Nevertheless, Mr. Netanyahu could be on shaky ground with pro-Israel figures in Mr. Trump's administration losing battles to Make America Great Again proponents.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Newt Gingrich takes readers inside the most significant political comeback in American history and explains where the Trump movement goes from here.Despite a nine-year effort to destroy him, President Donald J. Trump succeeded in a historic comeback victory in the 2024 presidential election. This was Trump's Triumph. Winning the popular and electoral votes, President Trump became the first president to be nonconsecutively re-elected since President Grover Cleveland.This all happened because President Trump was never a typical political candidate. He is the leader of a movement, which he recognized in the American people. To be clear: President Trump did not invent the Make America Great Again movement, he intuited it.Meanwhile, elites in media, academia, government, and politics learned a big lesson: Americans no longer trust them. President Trump assembled a massive coalition of Americans from all backgrounds who were tired of being told what to do, say, and believe. He made historic in-roads with voter groups which have not traditionally voted for Republicans. President Trump survived court cases, impeachments, outright lies - and two assassination attempts. All the while, the elites described a future which every day Americans did not want.The Joe Biden-Kamala Harris (and later Harris-Tim Walz) tickets represented three failures through which the American people were actively suffering: high inflation, a full-blown immigration crisis, and a prevailing elite ideology which they found at best confusing and at worst insane.Trump's Triumph puts all this into context, explains how President Trump overcame it all, and describes the future of the Make America Great Again movement.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy analizamos el paso, efímero, de Elon Musk en DOGE. Hoy los dos darán una rueda de prensa. El empresario sudáfricano, que estaba llamado a liderar el Departamento de Eficiencia Gubernamental, lo deja apenas cinco meses después. En plena campaña, Donald Trump suelta el bombazo: el dueño de Tesla lideraría el departamento junto al magnate farmacéutico y financiero Vivek Ramaswamy. Musk entonces tenía una misión. “Allanar el camino para que su Administración desmantelará la burocracia gubernamental y así salvar a América” escribía entonces en Truth Social el presidente norteamericano. Su Capitán América particular tomó las riendas de forma oficial el 19 de enero y lo hacía entre vítores de un público republicano rendido a sus pies y con la ilusión de un Trump que presentaba a Musk como si fuera su fichaje galáctico. Así Musk se enfundó la gorra roja de Make America Great Again y se dispuso a luchar cual Don Quijote contra esos molinos que “amenazaban” la estabilidad económica de la nación. Aunque los problemas legales no tardaron en aparecer. Apenas un mes después, la polémica saltó: Elon Musk pedía acceder a los datos de los contribuyentes del Servicio de Impuestos Internos. Una petición curiosa teniendo en cuenta que desde La Casa Blanca aseguraban que Musk no era un empleado de DOGE. A pesar de esto, los pesos pesados del Gobierno seguían confiando en el multimillonario sudafricano y en su estrategia con el IRS. Su afán por meterse a arreglar este supuesto despilfarro le ha salido muy caro a Musk. Muchos países hicieron boicot a Tesla por la participación de su dueño en el Gobierno y en respuesta a los aranceles. Además, los accionistas ya le venían pidiendo que redujera al mínimo su participación en DOGE. Ahora Musk asegura que abandona la Administración Trump por sus desavenencias con la Reforma Fiscal. Para Ignacio Vacchiano, country manager en Iberia de Leverage Shares, el paso de Musk ha sido decepcionante. Mucha polémica ¿Pero qué medidas de Musk han salido adelante? La eficiencia empezó con los despidos, donde redujo el 12% de la plantilla federal civil, equivalente a aproximadamente 260,000 empleados. Recortó también el 50% de la plantilla del Departamento de Educación. Aunque sin duda, la más polémica fue la cancelación del 83% de los programas de la Agencia de los Estados Unidos para el Desarrollo Internacional. Todo esto deja un panorama de demandas federales al que tendrá que enfrentarse Trump en los próximos días.

ABOUT NEWT GINGRICH AND TRUMP'S TRIUMPH: AMERICA'S GREATEST COMEBACK #1 New York Times bestselling author Newt Gingrich takes readers inside the most significant political comeback in American history and explains where the Trump movement goes from here.Despite a nine-year effort to destroy him, President Donald J. Trump succeeded in a historic comeback victory in the 2024 presidential election. This was Trump's Triumph. Winning the popular and electoral votes, President Trump became the first president to be nonconsecutively re-elected since President Grover Cleveland. This all happened because President Trump was never a typical political candidate. He is the leader of a movement, which he recognized in the American people. To be clear: President Trump did not invent the Make America Great Again movement, he intuited it.Meanwhile, elites in media, academia, government, and politics learned a big lesson: Americans no longer trust them. President Trump assembled a massive coalition of Americans from all backgrounds who were tired of being told what to do, say, and believe. He made historic in-roads with voter groups which have not traditionally voted for Republicans. President Trump survived court cases, impeachments, outright lies - and two assassination attempts. All the while, the elites described a future which every day Americans did not want. The Joe Biden-Kamala Harris (and later Harris-Tim Walz) tickets represented three failures through which the American people were actively suffering: high inflation, a full-blown immigration crisis, and a prevailing elite ideology which they found at best confusing and at worst insane. Trump's Triumph puts all this into context, explains how President Trump overcame it all, and describes the future of the Make America Great Again movement. ABOUT NEWT GINGRICH Speaker Newt Gingrich is Chairman of Gingrich 360, a multimedia production and consulting company based in Arlington, Virginia.

In deze aflevering van de Holland Gold Podcast spreekt Paul Buitink met econoom en vaste gast Kees de Kort over de terugkeer van Donald Trump als bepalende factor in geopolitiek en economie. Waarom wordt zijn beleid zo vaak verkeerd begrepen? En wat is volgens De Kort het échte plan achter ‘Make America Great Again'? Het draait volgens Kees niet alleen om macht, maar ook om een multipolaire wereldorde waarin Amerika z'n grip probeert te herpakken.Kees de Kort fileert de Amerikaanse schuldenproblematiek en legt uit waarom Trump volgens hem nog altijd perspectief biedt, ondanks zijn chaotische stijl. Ook de risico's van zijn handelspolitiek komen aan bod: werkt confrontatie beter dan diplomatie? En welke gevolgen heeft zijn koers voor Europa, China en de mondiale stabiliteit?Tot slot bespreken Paul en Kees hoe beleggers grip kunnen houden in deze onzekere tijden. Waarom zijn de goudmarkt en de obligatiemarkt volgens hen de échte barometers van het mondiale systeem? En hoe groot is het risico dat de VS straks haar status als veilige haven verliest?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- Jack Ciattarelli—Republican Candidate for Governor of New Jersey & Former New Jersey State Representative—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to offer reaction to President Donald Trump endorsing him last night. In a post made to Truth Social, President Trump stated: “Jack Ciattarelli is a terrific America First Candidate running to be the next Governor of a State that I love, NEW JERSEY!...Jack Ciattarelli is a WINNER, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement – HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, ELECT JACK CIATTARELLI!” 5:20pm- While speaking from Riyadh, President Donald Trump announced that Saudi Arabia will be investing $600 billion in the United States economy—focusing on technology development and including a $142 billion defense sales agreement. He insisted: “my preference will always be for peace and partnership whenever those outcomes can be achieved.” While condemning Iran for the “past chaos” caused by its leaders, Trump promised Iran can have a bright future if they denounce terrorism and cease their attempted development of nuclear weapons. 5:40pm- While promoting his new book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” CNN's Jake Tapper revealed that a White House physician informed then-President Joe Biden's aides that he might require the assistance of a wheelchair in his second term if he were to continue falling. While Tapper is reporting on these stories now, why wasn't he doing so prior to Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election?

I've been in London this week talking to America watchers about the current situation in the United States. First up is Edmund Fawcett, the longtime Economist correspondent in DC and historian of both liberalism and conservatism. Fawcett argues that Trump's MAGA movement represents a kind of third way between liberalism and conservatism - a version of American populism resurrected for our anti-globalist early 21st century. He talks about how economic inequality fuels Trumpism, with middle-class income shares dropping while the wealthy prosper. He critiques both what he calls right-wing intellectual "kitsch" and the left's lack of strategic vision beyond its dogma of identity politics. Lacking an effective counter-narrative to combat Trumpism, Fawcett argues, liberals require not only sharper messaging but also a reinvention of what it means to be modern in our globalized age of resurrected nationalism. 5 Key Takeaways* European reactions to Trump mix shock with recognition that his politics have deep American roots.* Economic inequality (declining middle-class wealth) provides the foundation for Trump's political appeal.* The American left lacks an effective counter-narrative and strategic vision to combat Trumpism.* Both right-wing intellectualism and left-wing identity politics suffer from forms of "kitsch" and American neurosis.* The perception of America losing its position as the embodiment of modernity creates underlying anxiety. Full TranscriptAndrew Keen: Hello everybody, we are in London this week, looking westward, looking at the United States, spending some time with some distinguished Englishmen, or half-Englishmen, who have spent a lot of their lives in the United States, and Edmund Fawcett, former Economist correspondent in America, the author of a number of important books, particularly, Histories of Liberalism and Conservatism, is remembering America, Edmund. What's your first memory of America?Edmund Fawcett: My first memory of America is a traffic accident on Park Avenue, looking down as a four-year-old from our apartment. I was there from the age of two to four, then again as a school child in Washington for a few years when my father was working. He was an international lawyer. But then, after that, back in San Francisco, where I was a... I kind of hacked as an editor for Straight Arrow Press, which was the publishing arm of Rolling Stone. This was in the early 70s. These were the, it was the end of the glory days of Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco, the anti-war movement in Vietnam. It was exciting. A lot was going on, a lot was changing. And then not long after that, I came back to the U.S. for The Economist as their correspondent in Washington. That was in 1976, and I stayed there until 1983. We've always visited. Our son and grandson are American. My wife is or was American. She gave up her citizenship last year, chiefly for practical reasons. She said I would always feel American. But our regular visits have ended, of course. Being with my background, my mother was American, my grandfather was American. It is deeply part of my outlook, it's part of my world and so I am always very interested. I read quite a bit of the American press, not just the elite liberal press, every day. I keep an eye on through Real Clear Politics, which has got a very good sort of gazetteer. It's part of my weather.Andrew Keen: Edmund, I know you can't speak on behalf of Europe, but I'm going to ask a dumb question. Maybe you'll give me a smarter answer than the question. What's the European, the British take on what's happening in America? What's happened in this first quarter of 2025?Edmund Fawcett: I think a large degree of shock and horror, that's just the first reaction. If you'll allow me a little space, I think then there's a second reaction. The first reaction is shock and terror, with good reason, and nobody likes being talked to in the way that Vance talked to them, ignorantly and provocatively about free speech, which he feels he hasn't really thought hard enough about, and besides, it was I mean... Purely commercial, in largely commercial interest. The Europeans are shocked by the American slide from five, six, seven decades of internationalism. Okay, American-led, but still internationalist, cooperative, they're deeply shocked by that. And anybody who cares, as many Europeans do, about the texture, the caliber of American democracy and liberalism, are truly shocked by Trump's attacks on the courts, his attacks on the universities, his attack on the press.Andrew Keen: You remember, of course, Edmund, that famous moment in Casablanca where the policeman said he was shocked, truly shocked when of course he wasn't. Is your shock for real? Your... A good enough scholar of the United States to understand that a lot of the stuff that Trump is bringing to the table isn't new. We've had an ongoing debate in the show about how authentically American Trump is, whether he is the F word fascist or whether he represents some other indigenous strain in US political culture. What's your take?Edmund Fawcett: No, and that's the response to the shock. It's when you look back and see this Trump is actually deeply American. There's very little new here. There's one thing that is new, which I'll come to in a moment, and that returns the shock, but the shock is, is to some extent absorbed when Europeans who know about this do reflect that Trump is deeply American. I mean, there is a, he likes to cite McKinley, good, okay, the Republicans were the tariff party. He likes to say a lot of stuff that, for example, the populist Tom Watson from the South, deeply racist, but very much speaking for the working man, so long as he was a white working man. Trump goes back to that as well. He goes back in the presidential roster. Look at Robert Taft, competitor for the presidency against Eisenhower. He lost, but he was a very big voice in the Republican Party in the 1940s and 50s. Robert Taft, Jr. didn't want to join NATO. He pushed through over Truman's veto, the Taft-Hartley bill that as good as locked the unions out, the trade unions out of much of the part of America that became the burgeoning economic America, the South and the West. Trump is, sorry, forgive me, Taft, was in many ways as a hard-right Republican. Nixon told Kissinger, professors are the enemy. Reagan gave the what was it called? I forget the name of the speech that he gave in endorsing Barry Goldwater at the 1964 Republican Convention. This in a way launched the new Republican assault on liberal republicanism. Rockefeller was the loser. Reagan, as it were, handed the palm to Rocket Goldwater. He lost to Johnson, but the sermon they were using, the anti-liberal went into vernacular and Trump is merely in a way echoing that. If you were to do a movie called Trump, he would star, of course, but somebody who was Nixon and Reagan's scriptwright, forgive me, somebody who is Nixon and Reagan's Pressman, Pat Buchanan, he would write the script of the Trump movie. Go back and read, look at some of Pat Buchanan's books, some of his articles. He was... He said virtually everything that Trump says. America used to be great, it is no longer great. America has enemies outside that don't like it, that we have nothing to do with, we don't need allies, what we want is friends, and we have very few friends in the world. We're largely on our, by our own. We're basically a huge success, but we're being betrayed. We're being ignored by our allies, we're being betrayed by friends inside, and they are the liberal elite. It's all there in Pat Buchanan. So Trump in that way is indeed very American. He's very part of the history. Now, two things. One is... That Trump, like many people on the hard right in Europe, is to some extent, a neurotic response to very real complaints. If you would offer a one chart explanation of Trumpism, I don't know whether I can hold it up for the camera. It's here. It is actually two charts, but it is the one at the top where you see two lines cross over. You see at the bottom a more or less straight line. What this does is compare the share of income in 1970 with the share of the income more or less now. And what has happened, as we are not at all surprised to learn, is that the poor, who are not quite a majority but close to the actual people in the United States, things haven't changed for them much at all. Their life is static. However, what has changed is the life for what, at least in British terms, is called the middle classes, the middle group. Their share of income and wealth has dropped hugely, whereas the share of the income and wealth of the top has hugely risen. And in economic terms, that is what Trumpism is feeding off. He's feeding off a bewildered sense of rage, disappointment, possibly envy of people who looked forward, whose parents looked forward to a great better life, who they themselves got a better life. They were looking forward to one for their children and grandchildren. And now they're very worried that they're not those children and grandchildren aren't going to get it. So socially speaking, there is genuine concern, indeed anger that Trump is speaking to. Alas, Trump's answers are, I would say, and I think many Europeans would agree, fantasies.Andrew Keen: Your background is also on the left, your first job was at the New Left Reviews, you're all too familiar with Marxist language, Marxist literature, ways of thinking about what we used to call late-stage capitalism, maybe we should rename it post-late-stage-capitalism. Is it any surprise, given your presentation of the current situation in America, which is essentially class envy or class warfare, but the right. The Bannonites and many of the others on the right fringes of the MAGA movement have picked up on Lenin and Gramsci and the old icons of class warfare.Edmund Fawcett: No, I don't think it is. I think that they are these are I mean, we live in a world in which the people in politics and in the press in business, they've been to universities, they've read an awful lot of books, they spend an awful lot of time studying dusty old books like the ones you mentioned, Gramsci and so. So they're, to some extent, forgive me, they are, they're intellectuals or at least they become, they be intellectualized. Lenin called one of his books, What is to be Done. Patrick Deneen, a Catholic right-wing Catholic philosopher. He's one of the leading right-wing Catholic intellectuals of the day, hard right. He named it What is To Be Done. But this is almost kitsch, as it were, for a conservative Catholic intellectual to name a book after Vladimir Lenin, the first Bolshevik leader of the Russian Revolution. Forgive me, I lost the turn.Andrew Keen: You talk about kitsch, Edmund, is this kitsch leftism or is it real leftism? I mean if Trump was Bernie Sanders and a lot of what Trump says is not that different from Sanders with the intellectuals or the few intellectuals left in. New York and San Francisco and Los Angeles, would they be embracing what's happening? Thanks, I've got the third again.Edmund Fawcett: No, you said Kitsch. The publicists and intellectuals who support Trump, there is a Kitsch element to it. They use a lot of long words, they appeal to a lot of authorities. Augustine of Hippo comes into it. This is really kind of intellectual grandstanding. No, what matters? And this comes to the second thing about shock at Trump. The second thing is that there is real social and economic dysfunction here that the United States isn't really coping with. I don't think the Trumpites, I don't think the rather kitschy intellectuals who are his mature leaders. I don't think they so much matter. What I think matters here is, put it this way, is the silence of the left. And this is one of the deep problems. I mean, always with my friends, progressive friends, liberal friends, it's terribly easy to throw rocks at Trump and scorn his cheerleaders but we always have to ask ourselves why are they there and we're here and the left at the moment doesn't really have an answer to that. The Democrats in the United States they're strangely silent. And it's not just, as many people say, because they haven't dared to speak up. It's not that, it's a question of courage. It's an intellectual question of lacking some strategic sense of where the country is and what kinds of policy would help get it to a better place. This is very bleak, and that's part of, underlies the sense of shock, which we come back to with Trump after we tell ourselves, oh, well, it isn't new, and so on. The sense of shock is, well what is the practical available alternative for the moment? Electorally, Trump is quite weak, he wasn't a landslide, he got fewer percentage than Jimmy Carter did. The balance in the in the congress is quite is quite slight but again you could take false comfort there. The problem with liberals and progressives is they don't really have a counter narrative and one of the reasons they don't have a counter-narrative is I don't sense they have any longer a kind of vision of their own. This is a very bleak state of affairs.Andrew Keen: It's a bleak state of affairs in a very kind of surreal way. They're lacking the language. They don't have the words. Do they need to reread the old New Left classics?Edmund Fawcett: I think you've said a good thing. I mean, words matter tremendously. And this is one of Trump's gifts, is that he's able to spin old tropes of the right, the old theme music of the hard right that goes back to late 19th century America, late 19th century Europe. He's brilliant at it. It's often garbled. It's also incoherent. But the intellectuals, particularly liberals and progressives can mishear this. They can miss the point. They say, ah, it doesn't, it's not grammatical. It's incoherent. It is word salad. That's not the point. A paragraph of Trump doesn't make sense. If you were an editor, you'd want to rewrite it, but editors aren't listening. It's people in the crowd who get his main point, and his main point is always expressed verbally. It's very clever. It's hard to reproduce because he's actually a very good actor. However, the left at the moment has nothing. It has neither a vocabulary nor a set of speech makers. And the reason it doesn't have that, it doesn't have the vocabularies, because it doesn't have the strategic vision.Andrew Keen: Yeah, and coming back to the K-word you brought up, kitsch. If anything, the kitsch is on the left with Kamala Harris and her presentation of herself in this kitschification of American immigration. So the left in America, if that's the right word to describe them, are as vulnerable to kitsch as the right.Edmund Fawcett: Yes, and whether it's kitsch or not, I think this is very difficult to talk to on the progressive left. Identity politics does have a lot to answer for. Okay, I'll go for it. I mean, it's an old saying in politics that things begin as a movement, become a campaign, become a lobby, and then end up as a racket. That's putting it much too strongly, but there is an element in identity politics of which that is true. And I think identity politics is a deep problem for liberals, it's a deep problem for progressives because in the end, what identity politics offers is a fragmentation, which is indeed happened on the left, which then the right can just pick off as it chooses. This is, I think, to get back some kind of strategic vision, the left needs to come out of identity politics, it needs to go back to the vision of commonality, the vision of non-discrimination, the mission of true civic equality, which underlay civil rights, great movement, and try to avoid. The way that identity politics is encouraged, a kind of segmentation. There's an interesting parallel between identity politics and Trumpism. I'm thinking of the national element in Trumpism, Make America Great Again. It's rather a shock to see the Secretary of State sitting beside Trump in the room in the White House with a make America it's not a make America great cap but it says Gulf of America this kind of This nationalism is itself neurotic in a way that identity politics has become neurotic.Andrew Keen: Yeah, it's a Linguistic.Edmund Fawcett: Neurosis. Both are neurotic responses to genuine problems.Andrew Keen: Edmund, long-time viewers and listeners to the show know that I often quote you in your wonderful two histories of conservatism and liberalism when you, I'm not sure which of the books, I think it may have been in conservatism. I can't remember myself. You noted that this struggle between the left and the right, between liberalism and conservatives have always be smarter they've always made the first move and it's always been up to the liberals and of course liberalism and the left aren't always the same thing but the left or progressives have always been catching up with conservatives so just to ask this question in terms of this metaphorical chess match has anything changed. It's always been the right that makes the first move, that sets the game up. It has recently.Edmund Fawcett: Let's not fuss too much with the metaphor. I think it was, as it were, the Liberals made the first move for decades, and then, more or less in our lifetimes, it has been the right that has made the weather, and the left has been catching up. Let's look at what happened in the 1970s. In effect. 30-40 years of welfare capitalism in which the state played ever more of a role in providing safety nets for people who were cut short by a capitalistic economy. Politics turned its didn't entirely reject that far from it but it is it was said enough already we've reached an end point we're now going to turn away from that and try to limit the welfare state and that has been happening since the 1970s and the left has never really come up with an alternative if you look at Mitterrand in France you look at Tony Blair new Labor in you look at Clinton in the United States, all of them in effect found an acceptably liberal progressive way of repackaging. What the right was doing and the left has got as yet no alternative. They can throw rocks at Trump, they can resist the hard right in Germany, they can go into coalition with the Christian Democrats in order to resist the hard right much as in France but they don't really have a governing strategy of their own. And until they do, it seems to me, and this is the bleak vision, the hard right will make the running. Either they will be in government as they are in the United States, or they'll be kept just out of government by unstable coalitions of liberal conservatives and the liberal left.Andrew Keen: So to quote Patrick Deneen, what is to be done is the alternative, a technocracy, the best-selling book now on the New York Times bestseller list is Ezra Klein, Derek Thompson's Abundance, which is a progressive. Technocratic manifesto for changing America. It's not very ideological. Is that really the only alternative for the left unless it falls into a Bernie Sanders-style anti-capitalism which often is rather vague and problematic?Edmund Fawcett: Well, technocracy is great, but technocrats never really get to do what they say ought to be done, particularly not in large, messy democracies like Europe and the United States. Look, it's a big question. If I had a Leninist answer to Patrick Deneen's question, what is to be done, I'd be very happy to give it. I feel as somebody on the liberal left that the first thing the liberal left needs to do is to is two things. One is to focus in exposing the intellectual kitschiness, the intellectual incoherence on the one hand of the hard right, and two, hitting back in a popular way, in a vulgar way, if you will, at the lies, misrepresentations, and false appeals that the hard-right coasts on. So that's really a kind of public relations. It's not deep strategy or technocracy. It is not a policy list. It's sharpening up the game. Of basically of democratic politics and they need to liberals on the left need to be much tougher much sharper much more vulgar much more ready to use the kinds of weapons the kinds of mockery and imaginative invention that the Trumpites use that's the first thing the second thing is to take a breath and go back and look at the great achievements of democratic liberalism of the 1950s, 60s, 70s if you will. I mean these were these produced in Europe and the United States societies that by any historical standard are not bad. They have terrible problems, terrible inequities, but by any historical standard and indeed by any comparative standard, they're not bad if you ask yourself why immigration has become such a problem in Western Europe and the United States, it's because these are hugely desirable places to live in, not just because they're rich and make a comfortable living, which is the sort of the rights attitude, because basically they're fairly safe places to live. They're fairly good places for your kids to grow up in. All of these are huge achievements, and it seems to me that the progressives, the liberals, should look back and see how much work was needed to create... The kinds of politics that underpinned that society, and see what was good, boast of what was and focus on how much work was needed.Andrew Keen: Maybe rather than talking about making America great again, it should be making America not bad. I think that's too English for the United States. I don't think that should be for a winner outside Massachusetts and Maine. That's back to front hypocritical Englishism. Let's end where we began on a personal note. Do you think one of the reasons why Trump makes so much news, there's so much bemusement about him around the world, is because most people associate America with modernity, they just take it for granted that America is the most advanced, the most modern, is the quintessential modern project. So when you have a character like Trump, who's anti-modernist, who is a reactionary, It's bewildering.Edmund Fawcett: I think it is bewildering, and I think there's a kind of bewilderment underneath, which we haven't really spoken to as it is an entirely other subject, but is lurking there. Yes, you put your absolutely right, you put your finger on it, a lot of us look to America as modernity, maybe not the society of the future, but certainly the the culture of the future, the innovations of the future. And I think one of the worrying things, which maybe feeds the neurosis of Make America Great Again, feeds the neurosis, of current American unilateralism, is a fear But modernity, talk like Hegel, has now shifted and is now to be seen in China, India and other countries of the world. And I think underlying everything, even below the stuff that we showed in the chart about changing shares of wealth. I think under that... That is much more worrisome in the United States than almost anything else. It's the sense that the United States isn't any longer the great modern world historical country. It's very troubling, but let's face it, you get have to get used to it.Andrew Keen: The other thing that's bewildering and chilling is this seeming coexistence of technological innovation, the Mark Andreessen's, the the Musk's, Elon Musk's of the world, the AI revolution, Silicon Valley, who seem mostly in alliance with Trump and Musk of course are headed out. The Doge campaign to destroy government or undermine government. Is it conceivable that modernity is by definition, you mentioned Hegel and of course lots of people imagine that history had ended in 1989 but the reverse was true. Is it possible that modernity is by-definition reactionary politically?Edmund Fawcett: A tough one. I mean on the technocracy, the technocrats of Silicon Valley, I think one of their problems is that they're brilliant, quite brilliant at making machines. I'm the machinery we're using right here. They're fantastic. They're not terribly good at. Messy human beings and messy politics. So I'm not terribly troubled by that, nor your other question about it is whether looming challenges of technology. I mean, maybe I could just end with the violinist, Fritz Kreisler, who said, I was against the telegraph, I was against the telephone, I was against television. I'm a progressive when it comes to technology. I'm always against the latest thing. I mean, I don't, there've always been new machines. I'm not terribly troubled by that. It seems to me, you know, I want you to worry about more immediate problems. If indeed AI is going to take over the world, my sense is, tell us when we get there.Andrew Keen: And finally, you were half-born in the United States or certainly from an American and British parent. You spent a lot of your life there and you still go, you follow it carefully. Is it like losing a lover or a loved one? Is it a kind of divorce in your mind with what's happening in America in terms of your own relations with America? You noted that your wife gave up her citizenship this year.Edmund Fawcett: Well, it is. And if I could talk about Natalia, my wife, she was much more American than me. Her mother was American from Philadelphia. She lived and worked in America more than I did. She did give up her American citizenship last year, partly for a feeling of, we use a long word, alienation, partly for practical reasons, not because we're anything like rich enough to pay American tax, but simply the business of keeping up with the changing tax code is very wary and troublesome. But she said, as she did it, she will always feel deeply American, and I think it's possible to say that. I mean, it's part of both of us, and I don't think...Andrew Keen: It's loseable. Well, I have to ask this question finally, finally. Maybe I always use that word and it's never final. What does it mean to feel American?Edmund Fawcett: Well, everybody's gonna have their own answer to that. I was just... What does it mean for you? I'm just reading. What it is to feel American. Can I dodge the question by saying, what is it to feel Californian? Or even what is to be Los Angelino? Where my sister-in-law and brother-in-law live. A great friend said, what it is feel Los Angeles you go over those mountains and you put down your rucksack. And I think what that means is for Europeans, America has always meant leaving the past behind.Edmund Fawcett was the Economist‘s Washington, Paris and Berlin correspondent and is a regular reviewer. His Liberalism: The Life of an Idea was published by Princeton in 2014. The second in his planned political trilogy – Conservatism: The Fight for a Tradition – was published in 2020, also by Princeton University Press. The Economist called it ‘an epic history of conservatism and the Financial Times praised Fawcett for creating a ‘rich and wide-ranging account' that demonstrates how conservatism has repeated managed to renew itself.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Difficile de croire que cela ne fait que cent jours que Donald Trump est de retour au pouvoir. Depuis son investiture le 20 janvier 2025, le président républicain impose un rythme soutenu en multipliant les décrets pour réformer l'État fédéral et « rendre à l'Amérique sa grandeur » (« Make America Great Again »). Chaque jour, ses opposants dénoncent une dérive autocratique et un danger pour la démocratie. Ses partisans, quant à eux, saluent ses actions visant à bouleverser le système : guerre commerciale, expulsions de sans-papiers, et coupes drastiques dans les dépenses fédérales orchestrées par Elon Musk.Quels enseignements pouvons-nous tirer de ces cent premiers jours sur la manière dont Donald Trump exercera son second mandat ? C'est l'une des questions qu'Alexis Buisson, correspondant de La Croix à New York, a posées à François Furstenberg, historien franco-américain à l'université Johns Hopkins à Baltimore (Maryland). Furstenberg est l'auteur de deux ouvrages : In the Name of the Father (Éd. Penguin Books, 2006) sur le père fondateur George Washington, et When the United States Spoke French (Éd. Penguin Press, 2014), qui traite de la naissance des États-Unis à travers les yeux de cinq Français.Dans ce premier épisode de la saison 4 du podcast "C'est ça l'Amérique", Alexis Buisson analyse la société américaine sous l'ère de Donald Trump avec l'aide d'experts francophones résidant aux États-Unis. Les invités discutent de l'impact de Trump sur la Maison Blanche et sur la politique américaine en général. Ils examinent comment ses décisions, en tant que président, ont influencé les débats sur l'immigration et l'économie. Les experts partagent leurs points de vue sur les changements significatifs apportés par l'administration Trump et comment ces changements continuent de façonner le paysage politique actuel.CRÉDITS :Écriture et réalisation : Alexis Buisson.

Rachel Campos-Duffy, co-host of Fox & Friends Weekend and host of Fox Noticias, joined The Guy Benson Show today to break down her recent bilingual interview with former President Trump on Fox Noticias and Fox Nation, where she taught the president how to say "Make America Great Again" in Spanish. Campos-Duffy reflected on the unique experience of interviewing her husband's boss (Sean Duffy, now Secretary of Transportation) and shared insight on Trump's evolving immigration rhetoric, including his suggestion that peaceful migrants seeking the American dream should be distinguished from criminals. She also touched on Trump's vow to investigate foreign election interference, his "homegrown" deportation plans, and his personal lack of clarity surrounding multiple assassination attempts. on him.

It's Monday, April 14th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus U.S. missionary abducted at gunpoint while preaching in South Africa Josh Sullivan, a U.S. Baptist missionary, was kidnapped at gunpoint as he preached Thursday evening at Fellowship Baptist Church in Motherwell, South Africa, reports International Christian Concern. According to police, four masked gunmen entered the church late last night during a prayer meeting with about 30 attendees. The assailants stole two cell phones before abducting the 45-year-old pastor and taking him in his own vehicle, a silver Toyota 4Runner. The car was later found abandoned about a mile from the church.   A husband and father of six, Sullivan has been a missionary in South Africa since 2018. Sullivan and his family are members of Fellowship Baptist Church, an independent Baptist church in Maryville, Tennessee, where Sullivan has been on staff. His wife and children are among those who witnessed the kidnapping. Here at The Worldview, we're reminded of the inspiring words of Christ following Peter's bold affirmation. In Caesarea Phillipi, Peter said that Christ was “the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” That's when Jesus said in Matthew 16:18, that upon that revelation, He would build His church, and “the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” Join me and pray that the Lord would honor Josh Sullivan's preaching and safely restore him to his family. China raises duties on US goods to 125% Last Friday, China hiked its tariffs on imports of U.S. goods to 125%, hitting back at Donald Trump's decision to single out the world's No.2 economy for higher duties, while dismissing the U.S. president's tariff strategy as "a joke," reports Reuters. Investors had been waiting to see how Beijing would respond to Trump's move on Wednesday to effectively raise tariffs on Chinese goods to 145% while announcing a 90-day pause on tariffs on dozens of other countries' goods. Last year, China purchased $150 billion of U.S. goods. White House Press Secretary prays to Jesus before briefing White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is the youngest person to ever serve the president in that capacity at the age of 27. Not only is she an articulate champion for President Donald Trump and the “Make America Great Again” agenda, but she is also an unashamed follower of Jesus Christ. Listen to this simple, powerful, and unapologetic prayer to her Savior  just moments before she walks into the lions' den of the White House Press Briefing. LEAVITT: “Lord Jesus, please give us the strength, the knowledge, the ability to articulate our words, have fun, and be confident. In Jesus' name, Amen.” Gone are the days that a lesbian God-hater stands at that podium. Judge: Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported Last Friday, an immigration judge in Louisiana ruled that Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil can be deported from America because he is a national security risk following his pro-Hamas demonstrations at Columbia, reports the Associated Press. Immigration Judge Jamee Comans gave the green light to the Trump administration's desire to deport Khalil.  Without such deportation, the government contended that his presence posed “potentially serious foreign policy consequences.” Colorado Governor signs anti-gun law Democratic Colorado Governor Jared Polis, a self-professed homosexual who has entered into a faux marriage with his “husband,” has dealt a heavy blow to Coloradans' Second Amendment freedom by signing Senate Bill 3 into law, reports the Colorado State Shooting Association. This oppressive permit-to-purchase scheme is a direct attack on their Second Amendment rights, afflicting Coloradans with bureaucratic hurdles to block their God-given liberties, President George Washington declared, “The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference—they deserve a place of honor with all that's good.” RFK, Jr vows to know causes of autism epidemic by September As he sat in Trump's Cabinet meeting, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke to the autism epidemic and what he proposed to do about it. KENNEDY: “The autism rates have gone from one in 31 from one in 10,000 when I was a kid. At your direction, by September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic.” Kennedy noted that HHS has “launched a massive testing and research effort that's going to involve hundreds of scientists from around the world.”  Once they have identified the causes, hopefully by September, HHS will advocate for the elimination of those exposures. Libraries partner with Planned Parenthood to offer free sex health resources And finally, if you thought the library was a place to borrow books for a research paper or read the local daily paper, think again! Twelve Sacramento, California Public Libraries now feature “sexual health resource cabinets” inside public libraries to give the public, including children, access to items like condoms, Sexually Transmitted Diseases tests, and pregnancy tests, reports CBS News. These cabinets are being stocked by none other than Planned Parenthood, America's Abortion Giant, which killed 392,715 pre-born babies in 2023 alone.  In fact, QR codes on the free literature not only enables library patrons to easily find their local Planned Parenthood affiliate, but also to get their immoral worldview through their God-forsaken website. Michael Reed, a parent, was disturbed by the easy access to the sexual health resource cabinets, especially for kids. REED: “It's a little shocking. It seems a little inappropriate just to target children that way.” But Todd Deck, the community engagement services manager for Sacramento Public Libraries, thought the libraries were doing something wonderfully noble. DECK: "We want to remove the stigma around these resources. Libraries are essential to healthy, thriving communities. So, having resources that are of interest and needs of that community is really critical. I do believe it is our responsibility to help have an informed community regardless of the topic -- that way people can make informed decisions about their health." Greg Burt, Vice President of the California Family Council, rejected the librarian's absurd worldview. BURT: “Now parents would have to be concerned. Instead of coming back with a book, they're going to come back with a condom. “This is really about cutting parents out. It's about sexualizing our kids at younger and younger ages.” In Matthew 18:6, Jesus said, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in Me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Not surprisingly, the cabinets have been re-stocked multiple times since being installed six weeks ago as they have been set up both in the library's main hub and in the adult section. Elizabeth Johnston, a Christian mother of 10, is not surprised by the hostility to a Judeo-Christian worldview at the library. The American Library Association's one-time president Emily Drabinski, who served from July 2022 to 2024, was a self-avowed “Marxist lesbian.” She wrote a paper on “queering the catalogue” and said wildly inflammatory things about parents who do not want their children to read sexually inappropriate literature. So, keep in mind, the library is no friend of the family. Enter with caution.

If your head has been spinning since Donald Trump walked into the White House Rose Garden  and declared “Liberation Day” last Wednesday, we don't blame you. And not just because it was nauseating watching the stock market or your 401(k) crash down, but because it wasn't clear what exactly we were looking at.  As our guest today, economic historian and Free Press columnist Niall Ferguson, wrote in our pages last week:  "Depending on your worldview, you probably think Trump's tariff blitz is one of two things. Either a committed protectionist is trying to Make America Great Again by killing “globalism,” ending “forever wars,” and bringing manufacturing jobs back to the United States. Let's call this Project Minecraft. Alternatively, an unhinged demagogue is crashing both the world economy and the liberal international order, mainly to the advantage of authoritarian regimes…But here is what is actually happening: The American empire that came into existence after the failed autarky and isolationism of the 1930s is being broken up after 80 years. Despite Trump's imperial impulses—wanting to annex Greenland, calling for Canada to become the 51st state—he is engaged right now in a kind of wild decolonization project." Whether or not you agree with Niall's conclusion, there's no question that the real story here is not about the particular tariff rate for Cambodia or Taiwan; rather, it's fundamentally about reordering America's place in the world.  Over the past decade, there's been an intense debate over what role America should play on the world stage, in geopolitics, in trade, and in technology. Trump has made a very clear set of decisions on that question. And that's the case whether or not most Americans understand the consequences. So what are the consequences when the U.S. acts unilaterally to upend the global trading system? What is the outcome when the U.S. weaponizes its own economic power? What happens when the world order, as we know it, is upended? Will these actions embolden our adversaries, or weaken them? Will this ultimately make us poorer, or better off? Has the American empire reached its end? And, was this inevitable or self-inflicted?  One note: While Bari and Niall were recording this conversation, Trump announced a 90-day pause on the reciprocal tariffs. Notably, there's no pause on the tariffs for China. In fact, it went up to 125 percent. But the point remains. And the face-off between America and China has only heated up. What does that mean? Is the twenty-first century destined to be ours, or China's? All these questions and more with Free Press columnist Niall Ferguson.

These firms have been key drivers of market performance in recent years due to their size, influence, and heavy weighting in indices like the Nasdaq. Bessent suggests that the selloff is primarily driven by issues specific to these tech giants, such as overvaluation, slowing earnings growth, or sector-specific pressures (e.g., competition in AI or shifts in investor sentiment), rather than broader economic or political factors. "Not a MAGA problem": "MAGA" stands for "Make America Great Again," a slogan associated with President Donald Trump and his policy agenda, particularly following his re-election in November 2024. Policies tied to MAGA, like steep tariffs or deregulation, have been speculated to impact markets. Bessent, as Treasury Secretary in Trump's administration, is arguing that the selloff isn't a result of these Trump-related policies but rather stems from the dynamics affecting the Mag7 stocks. Stock Market Today: Dow down 1,200 points, S&P 500 and Nasdaq plunge as Trump tariffs roil markets; Apple, Nvidia and Nike slump; dollar and gold dive. https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1907769203714560132 https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1907782385141268493   VW Among Several European Automakers To Halt Vehicle Shipments, Raise Prices, In Response To Tariffs European automakers are hiking prices and shifting production to the U.S. in response to Trump's auto tariffs. Volkswagen will add import fees to vehicle prices, while Volvo and Mercedes-Benz are considering expanding U.S. manufacturing to avoid the 25% duties, according to Bloomberg. Mercedes may move production of a model to Alabama to offset tariffs and is weighing pulling its cheaper cars from the U.S. after a 58% sales jump in its top-selling import, the GLC SUV. Germany's economy minister backed EU talks with the U.S. but warned of a “clear and decisive response” if no deal is reached, calling the tariffs a risk to global stability. Volkswagen, which builds cars in Tennessee, still imports key models from Europe and Mexico. The U.S. now makes up 20% of its revenue, helped by a 7% sales boost in 2024. BMW imports 60% of its U.S. sales and depends on European parts for its South Carolina plant. Mercedes' Alabama factory faces similar supply chain exposure. Volvo plans to expand U.S. production,
