Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just said the part Canada does not want on loop: You cannot be in a tit for tat with a country 13 times larger than you are. Watch the clip. Then watch what he said next. On CNBC from the G20 in Asheville, Bessent was asked if America is now in a trade war with Canada. He waved it off. Mark Carney, he said, turned a deal into a political shouting match because it helps Carney and the Liberal Party — not Canadian workers. The United States offered what Bessent called the best trade deal of any country on the globe. Carney walked away at the last minute. Now Ottawa wants to talk toughness while sitting next to an economy an order of magnitude bigger. “We're not at war with Canada. How are we going to be at war with Canada? What, are they going to take their two submarines from the Edmonton Mall and sic them on us?” Pat also covered: It's SEPTEMBER!
“Your $100 bag of groceries. What if it was $300? That's where we're going with 50% tariffs.”Kevin O'Leary warns the U.S.-Canada tariff standoff could have a brutal cost for consumers. But he's also flipped his stance on Mark Carney and is now making a bold bet on Canada.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is trying to force down US Treasury yields with surprise bond buybacks — and it isn't working. In this video we break down Bessent's activist debt management strategy, why doubling the Treasury's long-dated buybacks is a bet on falling interest rates funded by short-term bills, and why his old boss Stanley Druckenmiller publicly tore the plan apart in a Wall Street Journal op-ed ("Let the Bond Market Speak"). We look at the collision with new Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh after Jackson Hole, the 50% tariffs on Canada and the Mark Carney feud, "Operation Economic Outcast" and the secondary-sanctions problem with China and Iranian oil, the GENIUS Act and crypto's role in sanctions evasion, and Stephen Miran's case for the defense. The through-line: you can't trade around arithmetic. When a government goes to war with market prices, the bond market has an infinite balance sheet — and prices tend to win.Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3eerLA0Derivatives For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3cjsyPFCorporate Finance: https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC Ways To Support The Channel:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyle
Enes Kanter Freedom vs the WNBA, the Supreme Court's 6 to 3 mail in ballot ruling for Trump, Mark Carney and the Canada tariff war, and new records in the Austin Metcalf and Karmelo Anthony case. Warren Smith of Secret Scholar Society joins Jillian Michaels for the one episode this week where every story has a second layer nobody is talking about.The WNBA banned Enes Kanter Freedom from playing. He asked them one question. They still haven't answered it, and Warren explains why they never will.The Supreme Court sided with Trump on mail in ballots and Democrats say he's rigging the midterms. Jillian pulls up the actual order. There's one detail in it that flips the entire argument, and it's the same detail CNN left out of their report.Canada cannot win a trade war with the United States. Jillian has the numbers. Mark Carney has the numbers too. So why is he fighting? The answer is on his resume, and in a hire he made in February that Canadian media barely covered. Once you know what her job is, the tariffs make sense. Just not the way you think.Austin Metcalf's school records are out. Karmelo Anthony's texts are out. Both sides are using them. Warren spent years teaching kids exactly like these two, and what he says about them is the hardest thing in the episode to hear.Also: Trump's DEI speech, the moment at Emerson that changed how Warren teaches, and the grad school conversation that ended with a professor changing a grade she'd sworn she wouldn't.
This Friday's show is packed with political chaos, viral moments, and some genuinely unsettling stories. Trump's fight with Canada reaches a new level as he trolls Mark Carney, takes aim at Canadian trade policies, and renames Lake Ontario “Lake America,” triggering backlash from Canadian leaders and Democrats at home.The Chicks also dig into the growing controversy surrounding Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's claims about measles deaths after local officials raised questions about the reported causes of death.Then, Sam Altman and major AI companies issue an urgent warning about cyber defense, sparking a much bigger conversation about artificial intelligence, automation, and just how many American jobs could disappear in the coming years.Later, the Lindsay Clancy murder trial takes center stage as prosecutors deliver their closing argument and lay out their case that Clancy understood right from wrong when her three children were killed.Plus: Abdul El-Sayed's deleted Green New Deal posts resurface, Gavin Newsom faces questions about his property dealings, Kamala Harris hints at another run, Ben Shapiro mocks Tucker Carlson, and the latest conservative media infighting gets even messier.For a limited time only, receive 20% off your entire Laundry Sauce order when you use code CHICKS20 at https://LaundrySauce.com/Chicks20Save an additional 10% off practical food for your pantry with the ReadyWise 4-Can Protein Bundle at https://ReadyWise.com with promo code CHICKS10.Make the switch and feel the difference of truly fast, modern antivirus protection with Webroot— for a limited time, save 60% when you go to https://WebRoot.com/ChicksSubscribe and stay tuned for new episodes every weekday!Follow us here for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:YoutubeFacebookInstagramTikTokXLocalsMore InfoWebsite

It's been a week. Canada/US relations have never been so low. Attacks on each other's trade strategies, attacks on our sovereignty, even a pathetic, rather lame attack on one of the Great Lakes that shares our joint border.

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Are the US and Canada still allies? For generations, the U.S.-Canada relationship was one Americans rarely had reason to question. Now tariffs, collapsed trade negotiations, Donald Trump's “51st state” rhetoric, and growing Canadian resistance are putting that assumption under strain. Michael examines both sides: NATO, NORAD and Five Eyes cooperation remain intact, while Canada is reconsidering defense purchases, Canadians are cutting U.S. travel, and Prime Minister Mark Carney is drawing firm lines around trade and sovereignty. Today's poll asks whether the alliance remains as strong in practice as it does on paper - Michael will, later today, ask former US Ambassador to Canada David L. Cohen that question as well.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmDonald Trump is accelerating America's transformation into a banana republic, most recently by instigating a trade war against Canada and compromising the integrity of U.S. economic statistical agencies. In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss: * Why Donald Trump keeps doing the same kind of stupid shit over and over again;* What Congress (maybe the next Congress?) could do to stop him;* The extent to which this is driven by corruption vs. Trump's own personality disorders.Then, are Trump's power rivals letting him off the hook too easily? Why are Democrats supporting protectionism for cattle ranchers rather than attacking Trump's cronyism or attacking his broader protectionist regime? Why are civil servants silent as he calls the reliability of official U.S. economic and demographic indicators into question? Why is the Supreme Court letting him impose illegal policy for months or years at a time? And what would it take to correct all of these failures?Answers are available in full to listeners and viewers on YouTube. Check out our new channel, or upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.Further reading:* Matt's paean to Mark Carney. * Brian wants Democrats to borrow from Trump's playbook for normalizing power grabs, but to soften the public for court expansion.* Jared Bernstein sounds the alarm over the political infiltration of the Census Bureau.
Convidada: Cristina Pecequilo, doutora em Ciência Política pela USP, professora de Relações Internacionais da Unifesp e comentarista da rádio CBN. O presidente dos Estados Unidos afirmou que esta segunda-feira (24) seria o “Dia D” da guerra econômica que está promovendo contra o Irã. E o Departamento do Tesouro americano de fato anunciou sanções contra pessoas e organizações ligadas ao regime de Teerã e ameaçou fazer o mesmo com países que mantenham qualquer transação econômica com o Irã. O governo iraniano reagiu e afirmou que parceiros comerciais como China e Rússia estão a seu lado. Já nesta terça-feira (25), o Canadá anunciou que irá promover um tarifaço em retaliação às tarifas impostas por Trump aos produtos canadenses – serão alíquotas de até 50% em cerca de 700 produtos importados dos EUA, um impacto de quase R$ 20 bilhões. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery entrevista Cristina Pecequilo, especialista em relações internacionais. Cristina descreve como o primeiro-ministro canadense Mark Carney enfrentou Trump sob a lógica do “dólar por dólar” e os efeitos do atrito para as economias dos dois países. Ela também explica a tentativa americana de sufocar o Irã com sanções comerciais – e o que Teerã planeja fazer como reação.
Encore Episode. Calling Trump a "fascist" or a "Nazi" has become far more commonplace in the past few months. But is it correct?

David Rothkopf joins Joanna Coles for a blistering tour through Trump's increasingly chaotic presidency, from the icy public display between Donald and Melania Trump to the White House's seemingly endless staff exodus and the growing sense that the president's power is slipping away. They cover Trump's disastrous Iran war, the shifting alliances reshaping the Middle East, and Mark Carney's emergence as a formidable counterweight to Trump after Canada refuses to bend to his demands. Rothkopf also reveals why Jared Kushner's secret meetings with Democrats could signal panic inside Trumpworld, what Pete Hegseth's trip to Iowa says about his presidential ambitions, and why Trump's cabinet may be the most disastrous collection of officials in American history. As more countries, businesses and political opponents begin standing up to Trump, Rothkopf argues that the president's bullying tactics are finally backfiring—and that his transformation into a lame duck may already be underway. #ad Ready to reach your goals?

Donald Trump launched a trade war against Canada expecting them to fold, and instead Mark Carney and Doug Ford are fighting back. Steve Schmidt breaks down why Trump has picked the wrong fight.

Trump has since announced that on January 1st, 2027, tariffs on Canadian cars, trucks, auto parts, and steel go to 50 percent. Carney says Canada will match them dollar for dollar. CNN's Daniel Dale ran the fact check. Canadian unemployment is 6.4 percent and has been falling for three months, not 10 and rising. Canada does 72 percent of its trade with the US, not 95. And the trade deficit runs on crude oil imports, with roughly 97 percent of American agricultural exports entering Canada tariff free. Ontario Premier Doug Ford responded in terms Hawk wishes American institutions would use, and Trump answered with a post about Ford's late brother. Steve Forbes lays out what an actual trade war between the two countries would look like. Elbows up.

‘We recognise sometimes its signature is written in pencil'With these words Canada's prime minister Mark Carney declared a trade war with its unreliable neighbour, the United States.On Free State today, we look at why so few want to assert what Carney stated so baldly, that America under Donald Trump cannot be trusted.This is a reality the world knows but the leaders instead of acknowledging it, run from it as they try and pretend the world is still the same.A reminder that on Sept 3rd, Free State will be live in Belfast with Paul Howard to talk about his brilliant new book ‘A Nation Once Again'.

Gaius and Germanicus: Germanicus attributes these failures to a psychological myth of omnipotence that has "suckled" every post-Cold War president: George H.W. Bush dipping a toe into Somalia, Bill Clinton's cruise missile war on Serbia, Barack Obama's targeted killings, Donald Trump mesmerized by unlimited power despite "mature" advisers, and Joe Biden's "feckless adventure" in Ukraine, sputtering that the US was the "greatest nation with the biggest military of all time." The failed campaign to defeat Russia should have been the alarm bell; instead the establishment stayed blind, and the current president—driven by instant gratification and poll rises, as in the first-term Miami meeting with Xi Jinping where he launched cruise missiles at a Syrian airport while serving chocolate cake—has proven American power "evanescent," "brittle," and "superficial." The hosts then catalog the petty feuds with "subkings" that Rome would have discouraged: the aggressive feud with Canada and Mark Carney despite a century of shared history; threats to invade Greenland, prompting the Danes to enlarge their army; disparaging loyal South Korea while courting Kim Jong-un, a "fratricidal cretin" whose flattery Germanicus calls "creepy"; threatening to throw steadfast Oman "into the ocean"; and destroying the bridge built by Giorgia Meloni, the EU's effective "Trump whisperer." Rather than championing an end to Europe's migration crisis, the president has backed the Sultan of Morocco over Ceuta and Melilla, inciting one of the continent's worst flashpoints—conduct Germanicus reads not as dementia but as narcissism grown into "incipient and growing megalomania," in sharp contrast with the implicit rules of the "divine Augustus," whose disregarding heirs Caligula and Nero did not last long.

In this episode, guest host Dean Karayanis fills in on The Derek Hunter Podcast to tackle pressing national and international headlines, focusing on economic policy, foreign relations, and domestic political discourse. U.S.-Canada Trade Relations: Dean examines the media coverage of President Trump's tariffs, arguing that critics ignore long-standing Canadian trade protectionism in sectors like dairy and lumber. He critiques Canadian political figures, including Mark Carney and Justin Trudeau, for pursuing economic ties with Communist China despite human rights concerns while opposing U.S. policies. Geopolitics & Defense Spending: The discussion highlights foreign policy realities, noting that international maritime security and North American defense are heavily subsidized by U.S. taxpayers, while NATO allies often fail to meet agreed-upon defense spending targets. Border Policy & Immigration Realities: Dean compares strict border and third-country asylum enforcement in Canada and Mexico with U.S. border security debates, challenging narrative double standards surrounding immigration, as Tom Homan proclaims himself an equal-opportunity deporter who has sent aliens home to 180 countries. Domestic News & Political Rhetoric: The episode covers political rhetoric surrounding corporate workplace incidents, media framing of counter-terrorism efforts by law enforcement, and the importance of grounding political arguments in historical context and verifiable facts.

El comercio entre Canadá y Estados Unidos mueve entre 800.000 y 900.000 millones de dólares cada año. Funciona desde hace años a las mil maravillas gracias a la cercanía geográfica, la infraestructura compartida, el idioma común y unos estándares empresariales similares. Ambas economías no solo intercambian productos terminados, también los fabrican juntas. La industria del automóvil, por ejemplo, está tan entrelazada que las piezas cruzan la frontera varias veces, el energético también, Canadá aporta cerca del 60% de las importaciones de petróleo estadounidense. Esa relación, ya deteriorada desde el año pasado, se rompió la madrugada de este sábado. Minutos antes de expirar el plazo fijado por Trump, las conversaciones se interrumpieron porque los negociadores canadienses decidieron levantarse de la mesa. El primer ministro Mark Carney aplicó su máxima de que mejor es ningún acuerdo que uno malo. Días antes, Trump había anunciado precipitadamente un acuerdo que rebajaba los aranceles del acero y aluminio (del 50% al 25%) y del automóvil (del 25% al 15%). Pero una serie de detalles hizo que descarrilase en el último momento. Los fabricantes de derivados del acero y el aluminio exigieron mantener los aranceles sobre los transformados. A ello se sumaron exigencias de última hora sobre los etiquetados en francés, una lengua que es oficial en la provincia de Quebec, y sobre el automóvil, donde Estados Unidos se empeñó en excluir a los camiones medianos y pesados del alivio arancelario. Carney lo denunció como una cuestión de soberanía con una frase corta y sentenciosa: "pedían demasiado y ofrecían muy poco”. Trump recurrió a la Sección 338 de la Ley Arancelaria de 1930, algo que nunca se había empleado antes, alegando discriminación comercial. La excusa es muy débil. El déficit comercial que Estados Unidos tiene con Canadá se debe en exclusiva a las importaciones de crudo pesado para el que muchas refinerías estadounidenses, especialmente del medio oeste, están adaptadas desde hace mucho tiempo. El daño inmediato es relativamente asumible, afecta al 5% de las exportaciones y eleva el tipo efectivo del 5% al 7,5%, pero desigual, los plásticos, los químicos, la madera y la maquinaria cargarán con lo peor. Lo más grave es la desconfianza que se ha instalado en la relación bilateral en un momento económicamente muy delicado para Canadá. La represalia, prevista para el 8 de septiembre, podría empujar la inflación hasta el 4% y destruir unos 90.000 empleos. Carney disfruta por ahora de un amplio apoyo interno pero tiene que equilibrar un tablero político muy complejo. En octubre se celebrará un referéndum en Alberta en el que podrían plantearse la independencia y poco antes habrá elecciones provinciales en Quebec y los nacionalistas encabezan las encuestas. Su apuesta consiste en ganar tiempo. Ha retrasado dos semanas las represalias y espera que las elecciones de medio mandato devuelvan a Trump a la mesa de negociación. Pero es una apuesta, no una certeza. La firmeza tiene fecha de caducidad y esa viene marcada por el bolsillo de los canadienses. Carney ha comprado tiempo a cambio de dinero, y ese tiempo solo juega a su favor si Trump lo ve muy negro en noviembre.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles go inside a White House where Melania Trump's rare appearances, her increasingly lucrative personal brand, and her complicated relationship with Natalie Harp are raising fresh questions about who is really closest to the president. Wolff explains why the press took so long to catch up to the Harp story, why Trump's legal threats may be doing exactly what they're designed to do, and how his massive White House ballroom could become a permanent monument to his presidency before the courts ever make a final decision. Then, as Canada's Mark Carney walks away from Trump's demands, Wolff reveals why the president may be facing something he hates most: a world that is finally learning how to call his bluff.

The Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, has said the trade war with the United States isn't Canada's choice, but his country is ready to retaliate. Talks between the neighbours collapsed late on Friday, with each accusing the other of seeking last-minute changes to a proposed trade deal. Also, the editor-in-chief of the US military newspaper, Stars and Stripes, raises concerns over censorship after he was dismissed by the Department of Defense for "insubordination". South Korea is sending a commercial vessel on a trial voyage to Europe via the Arctic in an effort to find alternative shipping routes because of war in the Middle East.

Gregory Copley analyzes China's recent ICBM test in the South China Sea, interpreting it as "Wolf Warrior diplomacy" designed to signal naval reach to the US and regional neighbors. Australia is countering this threat through the AUKUSand Five Eyes alliances, though Copley notes a lack of cohesion between current heads of government. He highlights Canada's significant pivot under Mark Carney toward independent defense spending, reaching 5% of GDP to secure the Northwest Passage and Arctic interests. Regarding Yemen, Copley argues the Houthis represent the legitimate military weight of North Yemen, while the internationally recognized government is merely a "Saudi puppet." He suggests Western diplomacy should deal directly with the Houthis rather than adhering to Saudi preferences. Additionally, Copley provides a historical defense of Charles I, arguing his execution was an illegal abrogation of the social contract. He maintains that constitutional monarchies remain a viable and flourishing modern system. (3)
TABLE OF CONTENTS, JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-18-2026Liz Peek discusses the resilience of the American economy, noting that high-end consumer spending remains strong despite recession fears. Small businesses are reportedly "humming," with hiring and profitability reaching their highest levels since 2026. This economic momentum is increasingly driven by a massive boom in AI development, which has created an exponential demand for long-term capital. However, this appetite for money is pressuring the bond market, leading to higher mortgage rates that hinder the housing industry. Peek highlights a growing divide between red and blue states, where the former are more likely to embrace AI investment while the latter resist it. She also addresses the influence of Hasan Piker, a radical Twitch streamer who mobilizes young men for Democratic candidates like Abdul El-Sayed. Despite concerns about AI-related job losses, Peek argues it is a vital tool for productivity and medical advancement. (1)Jonathan Schanzer examines the fractured state of Hamas, noting the group currently controls only 30% of Gaza while facing internal discord over potential disarmament. International negotiators are discussing a "disarm first" condition, which Hamas leadership currently rejects, demanding an Israeli withdrawal instead—a term Schanzer deems unacceptable to any Israeli leader. The conversation turns to Iran, where Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Omandue to its perceived collaboration with the Iranian regime. Despite its "Switzerland of the Middle East" reputation, Oman hosts Houthi and IRGC headquarters, facilitating intelligence and weapon transfers. Schanzer warns that Iran is in "war mode," coordinating closely with its proxy network to prepare for future violence. He also details the rapid rearmament of the Syrian military under Turkish and Russian influence, which concerns Israel. Finally, a new Sunni alliance between Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia seeks to diminish Iranian Shiite power.

He maintains that constitutional monarchies remain a viable and flourishing modern system. (3)Mary Kissel discusses the strained US-South Korea alliance, where disagreements over military funding have prompted Seoul to seek independent nuclear-powered submarine capabilities. She characterizes North Korea as a reckless actor that has committed tens of thousands of combat troops and ballistic missiles to aid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Kissel critiques the "transactional nature" of current diplomacy, noting that contradictory signals toward Kim Jong-unundermine national security strategies. Regarding Oman, she defends the nation as a moderate partner vital for counterterrorism and the release of detained Americans, viewing Trump's threats to bomb the country as an expression of frustration over Iran. Kissel also highlights political successes in South America, where center-right victories in Colombia and Chile represent a return to capitalist principles and closer ties with the US. She concludes by noting that environmental factors like El Niño will soon challenge regional stability in Brazil. (4)Joseph Sternberg addresses the looming "year of doom" in 2032, when the Social Security trust fund is projected to run out. Without reform, benefits could be slashed by 22% to match current payroll tax revenues, creating a massive political crisis. Sternberg explores potential remedies such as means testing for high-earners like Elon Musk or raising the payroll tax cap, though he warns these could impact broader economic growth. He highlights the generational fairness issue of asking younger workers to fund benefits that baby boomers were unprepared to pay for themselves. The discussion also covers the rise of Hasan Piker, a popular Twitch streamer who broadcasts far-left economic views to a younger audience. While Piker is photogenic and compelling, Sternberg describes him as a "popularizer" rather than a deep thinker. Piker's pugnacious approach serves as a bellwether for whether radical progressive ideas can succeed in general elections. (5)Thaddeus McCotter analyzes the recent Michigan Democratic primary, where Dr. Abdul El-Sayed narrowly defeated the establishment candidate, Haley Stevens. El-Sayed, an "anti-establishment" fighter endorsed by Bernie Sanders, capitalized on unhappiness within the Democratic base, particularly in counties with large young populations like Washtenaw and Kent. While El-Sayed distances himself from the "Socialist" label, he supports extensive economic regulation and holds anti-Israel sentiments popular in Ann Arbor. McCotter notes that the Democratic establishment is now rallying around El-Sayed to preserve their Senate majority, hoping a "common enemy" in Donald Trump will bridge internal divides. Republican candidate Mike Rogers, a former Intelligence Committee chair, plans to counter El-Sayed by focusing on manufacturing, border security, and the risks of "Medicare for All" to seniors. McCotter warns that Trump's messaging on the "Iran war" and rising inflation remains a significant hurdle for Republican candidates in the general election. (6)Bob Zimmerman reports on the successful recovery of a SpaceX Starship near Christmas Island, which remained seaworthy for 24 days after a vertical splashdown in the Indian Ocean. This achievement, along with SpaceX's record-breaking launch frequency, signals a "renaissance to American ingenuity." Zimmerman notes that Elon Musk's political involvement was a defensive reaction to the Biden administration's regulatory pressure on his companies. In the Ukraineconflict, Ukrainian missiles successfully targeted a Russian factory producing Soyuz-2 rockets, aiming to cripple Russia's military satellite and drone communication capabilities. Regarding spaceport expansion, Zimmerman details SpaceX's potential new site in Louisiana, which offers hundreds of square miles for operations. He also critiques government-funded spaceports, like those in Australia or New Mexico, which often fail because they lack dedicated rocket companies as customers. Finally, research on mice aboard the International Space Station suggests that weightlessness does not fundamentally damage the heart's contracting mechanisms. (7)Two corrections applied, pending your confirmation: Hasan Piker (transcribed as "Hassan," segments 1 and 5 — the Twitch streamer spells it with one s) and Washtenaw County (transcribed as "Washington," segment 6 — Ann Arbor's county, which fits the context of young Democratic voters; flag me if the audio genuinely said Washington).
