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

Join us for an engaging conversation with Michael Bedenbaugh, a respected voice in historic preservation, community development, and constitutional governance. As the former president and executive director of Preservation South Carolina and current host of "Reviving Our Republic," Michael brings a unique perspective that bridges America's founding principles with modern political challenges. About Our Guest Michael's impressive background spans military service (five years in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS South Carolina), corporate leadership (former CEO of Post No Bills, Inc.), and grassroots governance (city council member and county Board of Zoning Appeals chair). His dedication to community revitalization earned him South Carolina's highest civilian honor, the Order of the Palmetto, awarded by Governor Henry McMaster. Episode Highlights In this thought-provoking discussion, we explore Michael's bold proposals for constitutional and electoral reform, including: Campaign Finance Reform: Restricting political donations to qualified individual voters only Legislative Transparency: Ending omnibus bills and requiring single-subject legislation Electoral System Overhaul: Implementing ranked choice voting and reforming the Electoral College Constitutional Amendments: Distinguishing between natural persons and corporations in law Federal Debt Management: Creating definable plans for debt reduction State vs. Federal Power: Repealing the 17th Amendment and strengthening state governance Military Service Reform: Establishing state-based home guard training programs Key Discussion Points We dive deep into the tension between federal influence and state sovereignty, examining why Americans often overlook state government importance despite its closer connection to daily life. Michael challenges conventional wisdom about voting reform, government accountability, and the role of states in preserving constitutional principles. Why This Matters Michael's perspective offers a fresh take on bridging political divides through constitutional originalism and community-focused governance. His approach combines historical reverence with practical solutions, making complex political theory accessible and actionable.

Housing and Revolution Housing prices exploding in relation to income.  Bankers, Local and State Government, and Builders all have a vested interest in keeping housing prices high. The inability to provide for one's family is a primal cause of revolution.  The left will have an answer: Government owned everything. The Christian answer is to abolish the Fed and abolish fractional reserving banking and watch housing prices collapse.  We are in a revolutionary time -- Christians must have radical solutions.

When it does, it should consider successful regulatory reform efforts that have been underway in the states for several years. This panel will focus on two of the most successful state regulatory reform initiatives, in Virginia and Indiana, and explore how similar reforms might be enacted federally.

Since American president Donald Trump was elected to a second term, it is common to hear citizens, journalists, and public officials distinguish between the laws and leaders of their states and the national government. Those who oppose Trump's policies with regard to reproductive rights, gun violence, LGBTQ+, education, police, and voting often present state constitutions, courts, laws, culture, and leaders as a bulwark against Trump's autocratic rule.  But Professor Stephen H. Legomsky sees it differently. His new book, Reimagining the American Union: The Case for Abolishing State Government (Cambridge University Press 2025) argues that – if we care about democracy – we should imagine an America without state government. No longer a union of arbitrarily constructed states, the country would become a union of one American people. Reimagining the American Union understands state government as the root cause of the gravest threats to American democracy. While some of those threats are baked into the Constitution, the book argues that others are the product of state legislatures abusing their powers through gerrymanders, voter suppression, and other less-publicized manipulations that often target African-Americans and other minority voters. Reimagining the American Union interrogates how having national, state and local legislative bodies, taxation, bureaucracy, and regulation wastes taxpayer money and burdens the citizenry. After assessing the supposed benefits of state government, Professor Legomsky argues for a new, unitary American republic with only national and local governments. Stephen H. Legomsky is the John S. Lehmann University Professor Emeritus at the Washington University School of Law. Professor Legomsky has published scholarly books on immigration and refugee law, courts, and constitutional law. He served in the Obama Administration as Chief Counsel of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and later as Senior Counselor to Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson. He was a member of President-Elect Biden's transition team, has testified often before Congress, and has worked with state, local, UN, and foreign governments.

I am writing to ask that you please help make this happen.  I know that the idea of a government commission focused on helping boys and men sounds strange at first. When you look at the statistics, and you hear the real stories of struggle, though, it becomes clear that a commission on boys and men is indeed warranted and needed. Its work and recommendations will help amplify ongoing efforts to improve outcomes around education, homelessness, incarceration, suicides, mental and physical health, drug and alcohol abuse, family cohesion, and other important issues.  If possible, I strongly recommend checking out the work of Richard Reeved and his American Institute for Boys and Men, along with his book Of Boys and Men. I also want to point out that Democratic governors in multiple states have recently used their State of the State addresses to talk about the importance of supporting boys and men – including governors Wes Moore (Maryland), Gretchen Whitmer (Michigan), and Ned Lamont (Connecticut).  Thank you for your open heart to care for all Washingtonians, including boys and men, and for looking at what role you can play in bringing about the creation of a Washington State Commission on Boys and Men.  For more information on the grassroots advocacy campaign to establish a Washington State Commission on Boys and Men visit WABoysandMen.org and WIBM.us. — Check out my foundation, Higher Hope: Higher Hope Foundation: https://www.higherhope.org/  Shop my Merch! https://kendallrae.shop This episode is sponsored by: Hiya Quince Nutrafol - promo code: KENDALLRAE Check out Kendall's other podcasts: The Sesh & Mile Higher Follow Kendall!
