It’s being hailed as the largest private sector investment in state history. Tech giant Amazon has announced it will spend $20 billion on two data center complexes in Pennsylvania. President Donald Trump has posted on social media about the proposed sale of US Steel of Pittsburgh to Japan-based Nippon. But details are still vague, and a deadline to complete the deal is a week away. A proposal to fund mass transit in Pennsylvania would involve a fee attached to the price for rideshare services, such as Lyft or Uber. With the summer driving season underway, gas prices seem to have settled in for the time being. We have the current trends at the pump. The US Supreme Court has rejected a Republican appeal and left in place a ruling allowing voters in Pennsylvania to cast provisional ballots when their mail-in votes are rejected for not following technical procedures in state law.

Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party-Komeito coalition and Nippon Ishin no Kai (Japan Innovation Party) agreed Thursday 29th May to remove up to 110,000 redundant hospital beds across the country, in an effort to reduce social security costs. The three parties will formalize the agreement soon, aiming to include the reduction in the government's upcoming economic and fiscal policy guidelines, which will be adopted in June. Nippon Ishin estimates that reducing 110,000 hospital beds would save around 1 trillion yen in medical costs. "The three parties share the same recognition (about the effect of reducing hospital beds)," Ryohei Iwatani, secretary-general of the party, told reporters after meeting with officials from the LDP and Komeito earlier on the day.

Here are the three big things to know this hour—   Number One— We are continuing to learn—what all of us already knew—Joe Biden was not running the country during his time in office—in fact he was barely present for most of it—especially the last 2 years—   Number Two— Ukraine is calling for a ceasefire in its war with Russia—and is hoping to map that out in Turkey this week—BUT it comes after one of the most violent weeks on both sides since the war began—   Number Three— As you already know I was aboard Air Force One with President Trump on Friday—as he went to Pennsylvania to rally with Steelworkers there to celebrate a $14 billion investment into United States Steel by the Japanese firm Nippon—

Președintele Donald Trump a anunțat că SUA vor dubla tarifele la importurile de oțel și aluminiu de la 25% la 50%, începând de miercuri. Vorbind la un miting din Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Trump a declarat că această măsură va contribui la stimularea industriei siderurgice locale și a ofertei naționale, reducând în același timp dependența de China. Presa internațională privește cu scepticism această mișcare. După cum transmite BBC, ”anunțul este cea mai recentă schimbare de direcție în abordarea lui Trump privind tarifele vamale. Până acum, tarifele impuse de Trump au adus în mare măsură la haos economic global. Comerțul și piețele au fost răsturnate, și multiple fisuri s-au format - sau s-au lărgit - în relațiile dintre SUA și alte țări, inclusiv unii dintre cei mai apropiați parteneri ai săi”.Reuters amintește că SUA sunt cel mai mare importator de oțel din lume, excluzând Uniunea Europeană, cu un total de 26,2 milioane de tone de oțel în 2024, potrivit Departamentului Comerțului.Prin urmare, noile tarife vor crește probabil prețurile oțelului în general, afectând atât industria, cât și consumatorii.NBC News observă că ”Trump a vizitat U.S. Steel după ce a indicat săptămâna trecută că va autoriza o fuziune controversată cu compania japoneză Nippon. Investitorii și membrii sindicatelor așteaptă răspunsuri din partea președintelui cu privire la forma acestei fuziuni.Președintele Joe Biden a respins acordul în ianuarie. El a blocat achiziția propusă de Nippon din motive de securitate națională, argumentând că aceasta ar pune în pericol lanțuri de aprovizionare critice”.Iar Le Monde notează că ”operațiunea, căreia și Donald Trump însuși i s-a opus de mult timp, s-a aflat în centrul campaniei prezidențiale americane din 2024. Aceasta, deoarece privește în primul rând Pennsylvania, un stat strategic din punct de vedere electoral, care este și leagănul industriei siderurgice din Statele Unite”.*Donald Trump și-a luat oficial rămas bun de la aliatul său, Elon Musk, care a părăsit rolul său extrem de controversat de la Departamentul pentru Eficiență Guvernamentală (DOGE). Prilej de comentarii sarcastice în numeroase publicații.”Un Donald Trump așezat la masă în timp ce Elon Musk stătea în picioare, protejat de un bust al lui Abraham Lincoln”, notează El País, citat de Courrier International.„Scena a amintit de o altă apariție celebră în Biroul Oval, din februarie, când președintele și magnatul au justificat primii pași ai DOGE. Cu excepția unui detaliu: de data aceasta, cel mai bogat om din lume, căruia i-au trebuit patru luni să sufere aceeași soartă ca majoritatea celor care se apropie prea mult de soarele lui Trump ca să-și ardă aripile, nu a fost însoțit de fiul său de patru ani”, remarcă ironic cotidianul spaniol.Ziarul belgian Le Soir consideră că alianța dintre chiriașul Casei Albe și Elon Musk a eșuat.”Donald Trump nu este prost. Iar anturajul său are grijă să păstreze puterea absolută.Prin urmare, Elon Musk a fost nevoit să abandoneze DOGE și poziția de oficial neales”Trump este ”conștient de daunele colaterale: creșterea impopularității, exasperarea crescândă în rândurile republicanilor cu o personalitate abruptă și un rol de sperietoare care ar putea dăuna taberei prezidențiale în timpul alegerilor parlamentare de la jumătatea mandatului din noiembrie 2026”.

At the annual security forum in Singapore, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth characterizes China as a threat.

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss the US Court of International Trade's ruling saying that Trump overstepped his authority when he used the Emergency Economic Powers Act to justify his tariff policy. And they talk about a Boston-based judge extended her block of the Trump Administration's efforts to stop Harvard from enrolling foreign students. Then they discuss President Trump's use of the pardon, including his recent pardon of Paul Walczak, a nursing home executive who was convicted of stealing $11 million in payroll taxes and whose mother contributed more than $1 million to the Trump campaign. Plus, they mull over NPR filing a suit against the Trump Administration, claiming efforts to defund the network abridge the company's right to free speech. Next, Carl Cannon talks to National Journal White House correspondent George E. Condon about President Trump's practice of inviting foreign leaders to the Oval Office for sometimes fiery exchanges before the press. And finally, Andrew Walworth talks with Guy Ciarocchi, contributor to RealClear Pennsylvania and a Senior Fellow at the Commonwealth Foundation, about the recent approval by President Trump of the merger between Nippon and US Steel, and Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro's strategy for winning the Democratic Presidential nomination in 2028.

Senator Jay Costa calls in to break down Gov. Shapiro's proposed 50M pitch toward innovative sciences and comments on the newest deal between Us steel and Nippon.

S&P Futures are displaying strong move higher this morning in reaction to President Trumps announcement that he will be pausing the pending EU tariff hikes until July 9th.

The U.S. & Iranian talks ended with both sides agreeing to continue discussions.

De ene dag is het hosanna omdat er weer hoop op een deal is, de volgende liggen beleggers in duigen na een vernietigende uitspraak van president Donald Trump. Sommige topmannen kunnen de spanning niet meer aan. Die zien extreme koersreacties en willen de controle terug over hun bedrijven. Ze willen niet meer afhankelijk zijn van Trumps' economische oorlogvoering. Vooral in de retailsector blijken een heel aantal ceo's erover na te denken om hun beursnotering op te zeggen. En die houden daarom hun ogen open voor eventuele kopers. Welke beurs-exit kunnen we binnenkort verwachten? Dat hoor je in deze aflevering. En dan hebben we het ook over het beunhazen-deal waar de EU genoegen mee lijkt te gaan nemen. Na het dreigement van de VS om importheffingen van 50 procent in te voeren op alles dat uit Europa komt, voelt Brussel de druk om zo snel mogelijk een deal te sluiten. De Europese Commissie zou daarom eerst de focus willen leggen op de kritieke sectoren voor Europa. Daar moet als eerste een akkoord voor worden gesloten. Verder trekken we de voorsprong van BYD op Tesla in twijfel. In China gaan ze namelijk minder streng om met de verkoopcijfers dan we dachten. Autobouwers hebben loodsen vol onverkochte modellen staan. Maar om de verkoopcijfers wel op peil te houden hebben ze een constructie gevonden. En daardoor kan het zomaar zijn dat je een tweedehands Chinese auto met 0 kilometer op de teller vindt. En je komt erachter dat Apple toch wat minder lang nodig heeft dan verwacht. Het zou de rest van het jaar bezig zijn met de productie van India naar China verplaatsen. Maar de export vanuit China naar de VS kelderde afgelopen maand al. En die vanuit India ziet een ongekende stijging.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode examines I Just Didn't Do It, a 2007 Japanese film written and directed by Masayuki Suo. In the film, 26-year-old Teppei Kaneko (played by Ryo Kase) is traveling to a job interview on a packed Tokyo commuter train when a 15-year-old school girl, who was standing in front of him on the train and whom Kaneko hardly noticed, wrongly accuses him of groping (chikan). Kaneko is  arrested. He is advised by a lawyer to plead guilty and pay a small fine, after which he will be freed. But Kaneko maintains his innocence and decides to fight the case, even though he is told that nearly everyone who takes their case to trial in Japan is convicted. The film then documents Kaneko's nightmare odyssey through the Japanese criminal justice system, where he is detained for months and ultimately convicted despite significant problems with the prosecution's case. I Just Didn't Do It provides important insights into the Japanese criminal justice system and a critique of how it operates, including its treatment of the presumption of innocence.Timestamps: 0:00   Introduction2:52     Background on the Japanese criminal justice system5:19      The crime of groping (chikan) in Japan8:57      The pressure to plead guilty17:12     The interrogation of suspects18:46    Criminal defense lawyers in Japan22:31    Why defendants tend to testify at trial23:52    The prosecution's disclosure obligations28:30    How bail operates in Japan31:04    The rotation of judges in Japan34:06    The incentives in favor of conviction38:44    Finding the defendant guilty despite reasonable doubt43:20    The lay judge (saiban) system in Japan46:54    A critique of Japan's treatment of the presumption of innocenceFurther reading:Aronson, Bruce E. & Johnson, David T., “Comparative Reflections on the Carlos Ghosn Case and Japanese Criminal Justice,” 18 Asia-Pacific Journal 24(2) (Dec. 15, 2020)Doi, Kanae, “Inquiry Needed into Japan's Flawed Criminal Justice System,” Human Rights Watch (Nov. 4, 2024)Japan Federation of Bar Associations, “The Japanese Judicial System”Keiichi, Muraoka & Toshikuni, Murai, “Citizens on the Bench: Assessing Japan's Lay Judge System,” Nippon.com (June 26, 2019) Meehan, Susan, “I Just Didn't Do It,” The Japan SocietyLaw on Film is created and produced by Jonathan Hafetz.

Emperor Meiji of Japan’s reign began in 1867, and it marks a time of significant change in the country’s history. After the emperor and his consort died in the early 20th century, the Meiji Jingu shrine was built to memorialize them.

Linda Levitt, Master Gardener Volunteer, rejoins Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley with Flower Power Retrospective (Part 3) . In this episode you'll hear two previously aired short segments about flowers that have been compiled together for easier listening. In the first segment, Linda discusses how to grow popular fall flowers that include Mums, Asters and Montauk Daisies. Including these beautiful plants in your flower gardens will bring lots of fall color to your landscape. Chrysanthemums are a large genus in the Asteraceae (daisy) family. The plants can grow 2-4 feet tall with blooms that are white, yellow, or pink in the wild species, but also come in multiple cultivars with many colors and shapes of flowers. Mums are divided into garden hardy and exhibition types. Garden hardy mums can be planted in gardens while exhibition mums are more florist types and need special growing care. Garden mums are often sold in the fall but can be planted in the garden for the following year. They need organic soils in full sun but can tolerate some shade in the south. Be sure to cut the plants back in summer to encourage bushiness and a later bloom time. Use in the border, in pots, or on the patio or porch for fall color. Asters are also members of the Asteraceae family. They have daisy-like flowers and come in a variety of colors. They are easy to grow and require minimal maintenance. They typically bloom in late summer and fall, adding color as the seasons change. They have mounding as well as erect varieties and may be propagated by seeds, division, root cuttings, or stem cuttings. Deer, rabbits, and other mammals may nibble at the flower buds but they don't tend to eat the entire plant because of its pungent smell, bitter taste. The plant tolerates the nibbling, which serves as beneficial pruning. Asters are an important food and nesting source for wildlife. The Montauk Daisy (also known as the Nippon daisy) is native to Japan but cultivated as an ornamental elsewhere. This perennial tolerates light shade in hot climates. New growth may be cut back slightly in spring to maintain plant compactness and encourage bushy form. Removing spent flower heads may promote additional blooms. Divide clumps every 2-3 years to maintain vigor. It produces wonderful, long-lasting fresh-cut flowers. They are also good for drought-tolerant gardens. The second segment features Holiday plants including how to care for them. Amaryllis, Holiday Cactus and Poinsettias are all discussed. Amaryllis bulbs, native to Africa, come in various sizes. Amaryllis may be purchased as bare or planted bulbs, and are prized for their exotic trumpet-shaped flowers (typically red, white, pink, salmon, apricot, rose, or burgundy) on leafless stalks that can be 1-2 feet long. They add dramatic color to homes and gardens and make wonderful gifts to gardeners from beginners to experts. Amaryllis flowers, which can be single or double) range from 4 to 10 inches in size. The holiday cactus is a genus of succulent plants in the cactus family (Cactaceae) that are native to Southeast Brazil. This genus includes the Christmas and Thanksgiving cactus. It has fleshy stems, showy flowers and grows well as a houseplant, preferring moisture but adapting to a variety of home environments. It thrives in bright, indirect sunlight, but doesn't like direct sun. Periods of lower light in the fall will encourage winter blooms. They may be propagated by stem or root cuttings.The poinsettia is native to Mexico and Guatemala. In the United States, it is typically grown as a potted plant and is popular as a decorative flower (available in shades of red, pink, and white) during the holidays. The plant grows best in part shade at temperatures of 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Water the plant when the soil surface feels dry, but do not overwater. The cup-shaped yellow "flowers" bloom in the winter through the spring and cluster above showy red leafy bracts or modified leaves. We hope you've enjoyed this retrospective series. As Linda Levitt reminds us "don't forget to stop and smell the flowers'".

EPISODE 133 | Cult Pop Suicide: Japanese Cults Japan is a land of many contradictions - very forward-looking but also retrograde. And when it comes to the spiritual side of things, quite a few people seem to fall for various cults, scammers and charlatans. And just offbeat beliefs, like that Jesus' brother died on the cross while He moved to Aomori Prefecture in northern Honshu, where he married and taught and lived until 106. Like what we do?
