The story follows a mysterious and highly skilled assassin, known only as the Jackal (Edward Fox) , hired by a paramilitary group seeking to eliminate de Gaulle due to his controversial policies towards Algeria. As the Jackal meticulously plans the operation, he adopts various disguises and utilizes advanced tactics to evade detection. Meanwhile, French authorities, alerted to the potential threat, assign a determined police detective, Claude Lebel, to track down the assassin. The film intricately weaves suspense as Lebel races against time, piecing together clues to prevent the assassination. With its gripping narrative and realistic portrayal of espionage and counter-terrorism efforts, "The Day of the Jackal" explores themes of political intrigue and the relentless pursuit of justice, culminating in a dramatic climax that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

On this show we take a journey through the challenges facing our world's forests. What does it take to protect tropical rainforests in places like the Amazon from illegal logging? What about the corporations profiting off the illegal logging trade? Host Jack Eidt speaks with Forest Policy Specialist Scott Paul on his transition from activism with Greenpeace to corporate sustainability with Taylor Guitars. Many of the woods traditionally chosen to make acoustic guitars are under pressure due to a range of factors, including rising global consumption patterns and land conversion, and too often in many parts of the world, a lack of dedicated governance. Stressing the importance of ethical wood sourcing for musical instruments, Scott Paul shares how Taylor Guitars' innovative projects in Cameroon and Hawaii are setting new standards for environmental responsibility in the music industry. We hope to uncover the intricate relationship between forests, guitars, and global sustainability.

Leslie is joined by Scott Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), a partnership established by some of America's leading manufacturers and the United Steelworkers union. First, Scott explains how high interest rates and trade deficits are stifling U.S. factory jobs growth. Second, Leslie and Scott move across the globe to discuss China, where U.S. Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, is wrapping up a five day trip. Scott begins this discussion by highlighting how Beijing's economic success remains tied to U.S. market access, and how that offers America leverage. Next, Leslie and Scott discuss the increasingly high risk that China will flood the globe with EVs and green tech thanks to their government subsidized overcapacity in both industries. During her current trip to the Communist nation, Secretary Yellen says that the concern about excess capacity is shared by many other countries in addition to the U.S., both developing as well as rich ones. “This is not anti-China policy,” she said. “It's an effort for us to mitigate the risks from the inevitable global economic dislocation that will result if China doesn't adjust its policies.” Finally, Scott shares the advice he provided to a panel convened last week by the Washington International Trade Association (WITA) about Chinese auto imports. To summarize, he encourages the U.S. not to wait for China's heavily subsidized car to arrive here.  But instead, to be PROACTIVE!

Rachel Slade, the author of Making It in America, joined the America's Work Force Union Podcast to discuss the subjects of her recent book, Ben and Whitney Waxman, and how they created an American-made apparel company with a United Steelworker-organized workforce. Scott Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, joined the America's Work Force Union Podcast to discuss the premiere of the documentary, Relighting the Flame. Paul also discussed the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Situation Summary and how reliance on Chinese-made ships is being met with union opposition.

In a recent landmark ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the decision of the former Trump administration regarding steel tariffs, thereby diverging with the stance of the current Biden administration. This stems from an appeal brought to the fore by USP Holdings, which alleged that the lower courts were mistaken in their rejection of their contention that the instigation of the tariffs was unwarranted. The opposing perspective came from the Biden administration, which stood against USP Holdings and various other steel importers that argued that the tariffs were grossly hurting their operations. As a note of continuity, the current administration has persisted with the existing tariff level, despite these remonstrations. Scott Paul, the president of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, clarified the Biden administration's stance regarding tariff-lifting. He emphasized that lifting steel tariffs without a substantive alternative solution could generate adverse effects such as job losses and factory shutdowns. This would likely have a wider impact, both on the economy and on the political scene in states like Pennsylvania and Ohio, among others. As a backdrop, the Trump administration's rationale for tariffs arose from Section 232 of the Trade Act of 1962. This provision allows for the imposition of restrictions on the importation of such goods that could be critical to national security. At this juncture, the administration believed these tariffs were essential to reinforce domestic steel production, in order to reliably manufacture airplanes, ships, and other military materials.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tariffs are in the news again! Why does that term generate such vitriol from some quarters and joy from others?! This week, we explore that question with Scott Paul, the President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing.  Scott and host Lori Wallach discuss how increasingly Democrats and Republicans alike now view tariffs as just another policy tool. For most of U.S. history, this was the American perspective. Tariffs - charges collected at the border on imported goods - were the main source of government revenue when the country was founded.   It seemed useful to unpack what tariffs are and who is generating the negative hype about them given the recent wave of news stories attacking the very concept. Spoiler alert: Tariffs are not a scary, dangerous thing lurking in your economy in the middle of the night!

Leslie is joined by Scott Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), a partnership established by some of America's leading manufacturers and the United Steelworkers union. The two discuss why Chinese-based e-commerce company Temu, who's spending billions on ads, and has already reshaped how many American shop, isn't paying the United States any tariffs. Here's a brief explanation from AAM's latest blog on the subject: "The “de minimis” exemption in U.S. trade law allows anything valued under $800 to enter the United States duty-free. It was originally intended for one-off type things, like making it easier for tourists traveling abroad to bring souvenirs back from vacations abroad. But Temu and fellow Chinese e-commerce brand SHEIN have exploited de minimis because they send their merchandise direct-to-consumer, avoiding tariffs because their stuff is so darn cheap (remember, Temu's average transaction is $25!)." If you want to help protect American jobs, then please sign and share this petition telling your members of Congress to stop companies like SHEIN, Temu and Amazon from dodging U.S. trade enforcement, by visiting TinyURL.com/CloseLoophole. Scott and Leslie then chat about the grave danger being posed to the U.S. Auto industry from China, thanks to the communist nation's intentional industrial overcapacity. Next, Scott shares some moments from his great interview with Rachel M. Slace, Author of, "Making It in America." Finally, Leslie and Scott talk about a new study that "underscores how the embrace of a more muscular industrial policy under Democratic President Joe Biden could spread investments into regions left behind by decades of offshoring." For over 16 years, Scott Paul and AAM have worked to make American manufacturing a top-of-mind issue for voters and our national leaders through effective advocacy, innovative research, and a savvy public relations strategy.

Scott Paul, associate director of peace and security at Oxfam America, talks about why 20 aid organizations have issued a public letter protesting a pause in Western funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency  (UNRWA), the main aid agency in Gaza offering services that the aid groups says are indispensable in the current crisis. Oxfam, Save the Children, the AFSC and other aid groups working in Gaza say cutting aid to UNRWA will have devastating effects on what is already a humanitarian catastrophe.  The suspension of funds to UNRWA by 18 countries, including the United States, the Uniked Kingdom, Germany and others, follows still-unverified allegations that 12 of UNRWA's employees in Gaza may have links to the Hamas attacks on Oct 7.  UNRWA  employs 13,000 people in Gaza and 30,000 throughout the region and may be forced to cease operations by the end of February unless funding is resumed. The pause in aid to UNRWA come on the heels of the World Court ordering Israel to take measures to prevent genocide in Gaz and to provide more humanitarian aid. Margot Patterson talks to Chimène Keitner, an expert on international law and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Professor of Law at the University of California-Davis, about that ruling and its significance and impact.

Leslie is joined by Scott Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), a partnership established by some of America's leading manufacturers and the United Steelworkers union. Scott first shares his thoughts on 2023's weak manufacturing numbers in the U.S., why there's more to the data than meets the eye, and reasons that the future looks bright. He and Leslie then chat about not one but two(!!) new books on companies that have started up making apparel in the U.S. over the past decade. Both of these books--'Making It in America,' available now--and 'American Flannel'—available in March—are worth a read. Finally, Scott shares why he's more than a little worried by China's rise in automobile production, and why he believes it's an existential threat to American manufacturing jobs.

The apex judicial institution in the United States, the Supreme Court has thrown its weight behind ex-President Donald Trump on a case that touched on steel import tariffs. This case had been the centre of strong opposition by the current administration under the leadership of President Joe Biden. USP Holdings, a key player in the scenario, held the view that the tariffs implemented during the Trump era were out of line. However, the judicial courts lower in the hierarchy disregarded their appeal. On the other hand, the Biden administration broadly kept the tariff levels as they were, despite the pushback from USP Holdings and like-minded steel importers. These dissenters argued that the tariffs set in place had brought about negative effects on their operations. In essence, the tariffs were a thorn in their side. As a pro-manufacturing advocate, Scott Paul, the current President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, openly supported the stance taken by the Biden administration. He reasoned out that making a hasty move to scrap off the tariffs on steel imports without having an alternative plan in place could spell economic doom. In particular, critical states such as Pennsylvania and Ohio could bear the brunt of a sudden tariff lift, leading to massive layoffs and factory shutdowns. The ripple effect would be a socio-economic impact felt deeply by the residents in these states, extending to the political landscape.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Leslie is joined by Scott Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), a partnership established by some of America's leading manufacturers and the United Steelworkers union. The two examine what is now the most equitable economic recovery in American history. First, they break down data from a new Treasury Department report, which provides "new evidence that the recovery from the economic harm of the COVID-19 pandemic was the most equitable recovery in recent history. The report – which includes new Department research alongside new data released by the Federal Reserve Board – finds that the speed and strength of the response by the Biden-Harris Administration helped to thwart the worst economic outcomes anticipated from the COVID shock for Black and Hispanic families, and that, across a broad array of economic indicators, the financial well-being of Black and Hispanic families have remained strong relative to recoveries in recent history." (Link here: https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy1834) Second, they discuss a Twitter thread on what 'Bidenomics' is, and how it's going two years into the Biden administration. The data rich thread was posted by Heather Boushey, a Member of the Council of Economic Advisers & Chief Economist for the President's Invest in America Cabinet. (Link here: https://twitter.com/hboushey46/status/1715711474994422140) Finally, Leslie and Scott talk about why President Biden isn't getting more credit in the polls for the strong economic recovery that has happened under his leadership. This includes a Bloomberg article from Matthew Yglesias examining that exact topic.
