Podcasts about slashing

Slashing honors programs and making exams easier in the name of equity and inclusion dumbs everyone down. You don't fix a broken ladder by removing the top rungs. Real equity lifts people up —it doesn't level them down. Bring back meritocracy and give all students what they need to succeed. Join Dr. Phil as he breaks down real headlines, investigates the implications of these changes, and confronts the tough questions about fairness, performance, and the future of American excellence. #DrPhil #TheRealStory #EquityVsExcellence #Meritocracy #DEI #EducationReform #CancelCulture #WokeCulture #LoweringStandards

We simply do not have enough time to discuss all the accomplishments President Trump and his administration achieved last week and over the weekend. In Geneva, along with Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, President Trump was able to reach a trade agreement with China. By May 14th, the United States and China will lower tariffs by 115 percent. Both countries will suspend the 34 percent reciprocal tariffs, while the U.S. will retain its 10 percent fair-trade tariff. This is a huge step in rebalancing the massive trade deficit the Biden administration allowed to take place. In 2020, President Trump put in place an excellent trade agreement with China that Biden did not enforce. President Trump was able to negotiate a ceasefire between two nuclear armed countries, Pakistan and India over the weekend. The president was able to negotiate with trade deals in mind when bringing the immediate ceasefire to the two countries. At home, President Trump reduced drug prices by 30 - 80 percent. By creating a "most favored nation" policy, President Trump is ensuring that Americans will pay the same price as the nation that pays the lowest price in the world. President Trump also secured the return of the last remaining American hostage in Gaza, Edan Alexander. Just as the historic trade deal with the U.K. and the surrender of the Houthis last week, the Trump administration steamrolls an incredible amount of accomplishments over the weekend. Meanwhile, lunatic Democrats stormed an ICE facility because they were concerned about the safety of the precious gang members and criminals they love so much.

Donald Trump's return to the White House has brought with it a seismic shift in transatlantic dynamics, with rising trade tensions, reduced diplomatic engagement and growing uncertainty over the future of Western alliances. So what has been the early impact of his second term on EU–US relations and how is Europe responding? With Trump's administration wasting no time in rekindling the “America First” doctrine, this time with fewer diplomatic niceties, tensions over trade, diplomacy and the long-term stability of the transatlantic alliance quickly arose. From the imposition of sweeping tariffs on EU goods – 20 percent across the board, covering all exports from France and other member states – to a reduction in support for Ukraine, Trump's early moves have sent a clear message: Washington's priorities have shifted – and not in Europe's favour.Brussels' response, while restrained, has been firm, and the sense that Europe can no longer rely fully on Washington is taking root.Trump's tariffs come into force, upending economic ties with EuropeRetreat, rather than reformOne of the most striking aspects of Trump's second term so far is his rapid dismantling of traditional US diplomatic structures.Former US diplomat William Jordan warns that the institutional capacity of American diplomacy is being hollowed out. “The notion of America First risks turning into America Alone,” he said.“Everything that's been happening since 20 January has largely demoralised and damaged the State Department."There has been an exodus of seasoned diplomats, alongside a wave of politically motivated "loyalty tests" handed out to charities, NGOs and United Nations agencies as part of the State Department's review of foreign aid – asking them to declare whether they have worked with "entities associated with communist, socialist, or totalitarian parties, or any parties that espouses anti-American beliefs".European allies rally behind Ukraine after White House clashThe cumulative effect of this threat to the impartiality of America's foreign service, Jordan notes, is a profound erosion of trust – not just within US institutions but among global partners.“There are worries in the intelligence community that longstanding partners can no longer share sensitive information with the United States,” he added, raising concerns about the durability of intelligence alliances such as Five Eyes, comprising the US, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.Trump's decision to scale back overseas missions and USAID funding has also left vast vacuums of influence – particularly in Africa, where both China and Russia are stepping in to fill the void.“It's not just that it's being done – it's how it's being done. Brutally. Recklessly. Slashing and burning institutions that have taken decades to build,” Jordan told RFI.Amid this weakening of America's traditional soft power influence, however, Jordan also cautions that the country's soft power strategies have not always been effective, pointing to congressional inertia and overlapping funding mandates which have dulled strategic impact.Still, he maintains, a haphazard retreat does more harm than reform.A dressing-down in MunichEurope's discomfort was visible in February at the Munich Security Conference, where US Vice President JD Vance delivered a remarkable rebuke to European leaders, accusing them of wavering on democratic values.The message was harsh, and the delivery even more so – an unprecedented public dressing-down in a diplomatic forum. The reaction in Munich embodied Europe's growing unease.European fears mount at Munich conference as US signals shift on Ukraine“Certainly the language was something that you wouldn't expect,” Mairéad McGuinness, the former EU Commissioner for Financial Stability told RFI.“This is somebody coming to our house and telling us they don't like how we run it. It's not what you expect between friends and allies. Was it a surprise? Maybe not,” she added. “But it's not normal."The incident underscored an increasingly assertive US posture under Trump 2.0, and the deepening fissures within the Western alliance, reflected in the new administration's willingness to publicly challenge long-standing relationships.European allies rally behind Ukraine after White House clash'Confidence in the US is eroding'The EU has responded with a measured approach – "how the European Union tends to do its business,” according to McGuinness.“What is problematic is trying to understand exactly what the US side wants,” she continued. “We're hearing not just about tariffs, but also about food safety, financial regulation – areas where Europe leads globally."Rather than caving to pressure, the EU is showing signs of a more confident and coordinated strategic posture – in a similar vein to its response during the Covid-19 crisis and its rapid support for Ukraine following Russia's 2022 invasion.One consequence of these shifting diplomatic sands has been a rise in investment in European defence, following the US decision to suspend military aid to Ukraine.EU Commission chief calls for defence 'surge' in address to EU parliamentWith EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announcing that, under the Rearm Europe plan announced by  on 6 March, EU member states can boost defence spending, European arms manufacturers are seizing the opportunity to compete against their US rivals.While not a wholesale pivot away from the US, it signals a broader awareness that over-reliance on any single partner carries risks.William Jordan put it bluntly: “Confidence in the US as a reliable partner is eroding, and not just in Europe.”For him, this moment could present an opportunity for Europe to build a more independent and robust security architecture – one less vulnerable to the whims of any one American president.

President Trump is reportedly mulling slashing tariffs on Chinese imports, but Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that the country won't act unilaterally. In Europe, the Kering crisis continues, as Gucci first quarter sales slide by 25%. Meanwhile, Adidas bounces back, posting its strongest start to a year following the company's turnaround plans. BNP Paribas posted a first quarter beat and confirms its guidance, with CFO Lars Machenil telling CNBC that the French lender is outperforming on all key units.

New reports indicate Donald Trump is considering slashing tariffs on Chinese goods by more than half. No announcements have been made yet- but tariffs could reportedly come down to between roughly 50 percent and 65 percent, according to one senior White House official. Asia Business Correspondent Peter Lewis says China has signalled it's open to trade talks - as officials believe this is the US blinking first in the trade dispute. "They see it as vindication of President Xi's strategy - which is to hang tough and not to be bullied and not to negotiate under duress."

P.M. Edition for April 23. We exclusively report that President Trump is considering cutting steep tariffs on Chinese imports, a move that could de-escalate the trade war. WSJ chief China correspondent Lingling Wei tells us what that means for the broader relationship between the U.S. and China. Plus, not even a U-turn on the trade war would erase concerns over erratic economic policy that may make U.S. assets seem riskier to some foreign investors.

The acting assistant administrator for global health at USAID, Nicholas Enrich, was placed on administrative leave in early March.Before his departure, he had made a series of chilling predictions in memos concerning the consequences of the Trump administration's gutting of the agency.These include some 18 million additional cases of malaria and 166,000 resulting deaths. One million children who will remain malnourished. And 200,000 additional children paralyzed by polio. And he placed the blame squarely at the feet of USAID leadership, the State Department, and DOGE.We discuss what the world will look like without American aid to help address global problems.

Send us a textWelcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast—where we take the dumpster fire that is the Pentagon's latest news and roast it to perfection. Here's your daily dose of WTF is happening in the military:

I'm Josh Kopel, a Michelin-awarded restaurateur and the creator of the Restaurant Scaling System. I've spent decades in the industry, building, scaling, and coaching restaurants to become more profitable and sustainable. On this show, I cut through the noise to give you real, actionable strategies that help independent restaurant owners run smarter, more successful businesses.In this episode, I dive into why most restaurants struggle to make money and what we can do about it. The hard truth? Discounting isn't the answer. Slashing prices might get people in the door, but it conditions your guests to expect deals instead of value.

Did you know that patients in some healthcare systems wait up to six months just to see a specialist? This isn't just an inconvenience—it's a healthcare crisis affecting millions of patients, leading to poorer outcomes, increased ER visits, and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Slashing the winter fuel allowance, maintaining the two child benefit cap, cutting international aid, cutting the civil service, axing NHS bureaucracy, possibly slashing welfare expenditure... you'd be forgiven for thinking the Conservatives were in power. But no, these are all policies pursued by the current Labour government. So on today's Saturday Shots Cindy Yu asks Michael Gove and James Heale, is Keir Starmer a Tory? While Michael admits to giving Starmer a 'painful' two cheers, he does say there is historic precedent for Labour government enacting right-leaning measures: from Jim Callaghan's migration policies to the economic ones of Ramsay MacDonald. How has Starmer got away with it? And what does his premiership of pragmatism tell us about the future direction of Labour? Michael sets out a number of tests to judge Starmer's success by: the tests of Fraser Nelson, Robert Jenrick, Ernie Bevan, Denis Healey and Bob Mellish...  Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Cindy Yu.

In this episode we discuss a controversial topic that could shake the foundations of medicine: NIH budget cuts. With proposed funding reductions for medical research, we explore what this means for scientific innovation, medical education, and residency funding. Could these cuts limit opportunities for new doctors? Will private corporations step in to fill the gap—and at what cost? We break down the potential long-term consequences of slashing government funding for medical research and what it means for patients, physicians, and future healthcare providers. Takeaways: NIH budget cuts could drastically impact medical education, residency funding, and future scientific research. Slashing research funding could open the door for more corporate influence in medicine, raising ethical concerns. Medical advancements rely on publicly funded research, and cutting it could slow innovation for years to come. External motivation works in the short term but can reduce long-term internal motivation—as Will learned the hard way with his basketball incentive plan. The balance between motivation and bribery is tricky, and parenting is one long experiment in figuring it out. — We have an active survey going.

Chris Cuomo breaks down how Medicaid has become the battleground for political and economic fights in America, exposing the hypocrisy of conservative states that rely on federal funding while opposing government spending. He explores how Medicaid expansion has reshaped red and blue states, the real impact of cutting healthcare for the poor, and whether Trump will go along with Republican efforts to gut the program. With millions of Americans—including pregnant women, children, and people with disabilities—depending on Medicaid, Cuomo warns that slashing it for tax cuts will have serious consequences and explains why this issue could become a major political trap for Trump in 2025.
