The United States and China wrapped up the third round of high-level trade negotiations earlier this week. American and Chinese negotiators met in Stockholm on July 28 and 29. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described the talks as constructive and wide ranging. He acknowledged that an extension of the 90-day tariff pause was discussed but said that the final decision was up to President Trump.  As of today – August 1 – Trump has remained mum. The Chinese side's readout was devoid of details, although China's vice minister of commerce said that both countries would continue to push for an extension of the reciprocal tariffs and Chinese countermeasures.How should we assess the dynamics in the trade talks, including the balance of leverage between Washington and Beijing? And how might the trade negotiations shape the future of the US-China relationship? To discuss these questions, we are joined by Dr. Scott Kennedy. Scott is senior adviser and trustee chair in Chinese Business and Economics at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Timestamps[00:00] Start[02:06] Lessons Learned from Trump's First Administration[05:20] Chinese Outlook on Future Economic Policy[09:28] Who's Winning the Trade War?[14:30] China's Reactions to Transshipment Provisions[18:18] Bessent's Rebalancing Plans [24:14] Challenges to Chinese Investment in the US [29:15] China's Trade Deal Goals

We face a special challenge in America.James Naughtie speaks to veteran US politician John Kerry about the state of American politics and his long career at the top of global affairs.As well as standing for president himself as the Democratic candidate in 2004, he served as Secretary of State in the Obama administration and as Joe Biden's climate envoy. Secretary Kerry was at the centre of some of the most significant global crises in recent history from Iraq to Iran and Syria. He still believes one of America's greatest foreign policy mistakes was invading Iraq in 2003 without first seeking formal approval from the US Congress.He is forthright in his views on America today, saying he has never seen anything like what the country is living through. He describes politics as defined by greed and insensitivity, and guided by the lowest aspirations. For his Democratic party to return to power once more, he challenges them to face and address the issues the American people care about, including immigration.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of July 25th Publish Date: July 25th Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast Today is Friday, July 25th and Happy Birthday to Walter Peyton I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Kelvin King running for secretary of state Woodstock wants your opinion on its transportation plan Cherokee acquiring right-of-way for Highway 140 improvements Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on diabetes We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Commercial: Ingles Markets 6 STORY 1: Kelvin King running for secretary of state Atlanta businessman and Air Force veteran Kelvin King has announced his candidacy for Georgia secretary of state. King, who previously ran for the U.S. Senate, aims to bring "new leadership" by supporting hybrid voting with hand-counted ballots, cleaning up voter rolls, and overhauling business licensing systems. He joins State Rep. Tim Fleming in the Republican race. Incumbent Brad Raffensperger, who gained attention for rejecting Donald Trump’s 2020 election claims, has not announced if he will seek a third term, as he reportedly considers runs for governor or Senate. STORY 2: Woodstock wants your opinion on its transportation plan Woodstock will host an open house on July 28 from 6 to 6:45 p.m. at the Chambers at City Center to gather feedback on its updated 2025 Comprehensive Transportation Plan. The plan includes 41 active or planned projects and 74 conceptual ones, focusing on roadways, sidewalks, crosswalks, parking, and traffic flow improvements. Key projects include the Brownlee Road Connection and Haney Road Extension II. Residents, businesses, and visitors are encouraged to attend or provide input online at woodstockga.gov/transportation. STORY 3: Cherokee acquiring right-of-way for Highway 140 improvements Cherokee County is acquiring right-of-way for improvements at Highway 140 and Univeter Road. The project includes dual left-turn lanes and road widening, with 80% funding from GDOT. The county transferred easements from an old fire station property, which won’t be affected by construction. Federal funding of $1.19 million, with a $297,431 county match, supports the design phase. Final plans are expected by May 2026, with construction starting in fall 2026 and completion by summer 2028. This project is part of efforts to improve Highway 140 until it’s widened to four lanes. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. Break: HISTORY CHEROKEE STORY 4: Canton, Woodstock and Holly Springs supporting Milton in lawsuit appeal The Georgia Supreme Court is reviewing Milton’s appeal of a $35 million wrongful death lawsuit related to a 2016 crash where Joshua Chang died after hitting a planter on city property. Canton, Woodstock, and Holly Springs have joined other cities in an amicus brief supporting Milton, arguing the ruling contradicts sovereign immunity precedents. The planter, in place since 1992, was deemed 93% responsible for the crash. The Supreme Court will address whether the planter’s placement constitutes a municipal defect and if immunity applies. Cities fear the ruling could impact right-of-way management statewide. STORY 5: Woodstock City Council to consider 34-home subdivision Woodstock leaders are reviewing a proposal by Park Place Developers to build 34 single-family homes on 11 acres along Putnam Ford Drive. The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners approved expanding the city’s growth boundary to include the site, which features a 172-foot telecommunications tower. The developer seeks annexation, rezoning, and variances, including reduced tower setbacks. The subdivision would connect to Summit at Towne Lake and include one- and two-story homes with 10% rental limits and 27% open space. The Woodstock Planning Commission will review the plan on Aug. 7, with the City Council set to decide on Aug. 25. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on diabetes Commercial: We’ll have closing comments after this.

Small moves have been made that could help achieve a Gaza ceasefire - but no certainty. The US President hosted Israel's Prime Minister at the White House, as the world holds onto hope the war will end. Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu expressed interest in working together for peace in the Middle East, but seemed to downplay the prospect of Palestinian statehood. Former Secretary of State Chief of Staff, Matt Terrill, says their shared dinner today was a good step in the path towards a deal. "Obviously a ways to go here, but his administration feels good about where they're at - and about the direction forward here." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 124: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: The new Trump plot to beg, borrow, or steal a third term has dropped (that makes four different) and it follows the others in that a) somebody besides Trump has suggested it AND b) they've made it seem harmless AND c) they've made it seem like Trump has nothing to do with it and probably won't do it anyway AND d) they'll leave it to the will of the people to decide to convince him to, reluctantly, violate the Constitution. The twist in this new one is, it's positioned as: "The Constitution is Unconstitutional!" - namely, that because only the presidency is term-limited among federal offices, this must be invalid and overturned. Not that Trump wants it to be overturned. No, YOU want it overturned. Not that HE wants to stay on. But YOU will want him to. People are still not taking it seriously and still see the 22nd Amendment as a bulwark against any possibility of it happening. I'll review the other three plots and the fact that they've been working on them since at least 2017, and why you should never ever keep your eye off their machinations, nor forget the Trump Political Mantra: I'm going to do it - TRY AND STOP ME. STATE SECRETS PRIVILEGE: Trump and Stephen Miller are so scared that they won't get away with renditioning Kilmar Abrego Garcia that they have now thrown up the "State Secrets" crap to further stall his return. And they're talking about kidnapping people off our streets and sending them to Libya or Ukraine. And Trump's craziness continues to double as we get the back story on the movie tariffs and a redux on windmills and it makes me mad enough to SING ABOUT THE WINDMILLS IN TRUMP'S MIND. B-Block (49:30) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The far right's open racism is on display as a Minnesota woman calls a five-year old the N-word and a million dollars is raised to defend her. Laura Loomer employs one of Hitler's first catchphrases. And they so distrust the Deputy Secretary of State that they won't let him touch the thermostat in his office. C-Block (58:22) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: This time of year in 1997 I saw a ghost. I know who he was. I know why he was there. I know why he was silently laughing at me. And I did what he wanted me to do. His name was Glenn Corneliess and there's a reason the new facilities of WVBR-FM in Ithaca, N.Y. are the Olbermann-Corneliess studios.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From her early years investigating extremist groups, to making Michigan's motor vehicle department a national model for government efficiency, Jocelyn has defied preconceived notions of what is possible in public service. A fearless advocate for Michigan, Jocelyn will bring accountability, people-driven solutions and a progressive vision for Michigan's future to make our state the best place to be a kid, raise a kid, stay, and call home. The daughter of two special education teachers and raised in a working-class family, her parents instilled the values of hard work, opportunity, and serving others. She took those values with her when, as a student at Wellesley College, she was the first college student ever to be elected to the governing body for the town of Wellesley, Massachusetts. After college, Jocelyn went to Alabama to investigate undercover domestic terrorist cells that had emerged following the Oklahoma City bombing, then to the United Kingdom where she studied the international links of modern, white supremacist and neo-Nazi movements, and finally to Detroit, where she continued her commitment of service and civil rights through a clerkship with the Honorable Damon J. Keith.  At 35 she was appointed dean of Wayne State University Law School, making her the youngest woman to lead an accredited law school in American history. As Dean she raised significant funds to ensure all students could pay for their education, lowered costs by freezing tuition and expanding scholarships, and built a team rooted in honesty, integrity, and service of people. As a result Wayne Law became one of the country's leading law schools. When Jocelyn became Secretary of State in 2019, she got to work on day 1 to make life easier for every Michigander. Under her leadership, operations at the Secretary of State's Office drastically improved, and the department went from having some of the longest wait times in the country to a model for state services. She eliminated wait times, created over 150 self-service stations to serve Michiganders in every corner of the state, all while implementing initiatives to make Michigan's elections the most secure and accessible in the nation. And, in the face of threats to both herself and her colleagues, Jocelyn oversaw two of the highest turnout and most transparent elections in the state's history. Jocelyn knows firsthand that the government only works well if it works for the people.
