Shoot us a Text.Episode #1110: Today we cover Trump's sweeping auto tariffs, Tesla's not‑so‑autonomous “Robotaxi” rollout, and the rise of agentic checkout in online retail.Show Notes with links:President Trump's country-by-country auto tariff deadline has arrived, setting off a new round of trade negotiations and recalibrations for global automakers.Canadian tariffs rise to 35%, though most USMCA-compliant vehicles dodge the hike.Mexico earns a 90-day delay on new tariffs, holding at 25% on non-U.S. content.Japan and South Korea cut tariffs to 15% with total pledges of $900B to U.S. industryJapan is also willing to take American imports based on U.S. standards, meaning American OEMs don't need to make a different car.“You can take the car you make in Detroit, put it on a boat and send it,” said U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.Tesla's long-hyped “Robotaxi” expansion into the Bay Area looks more like a rebranded Uber than a self-driving revolution. The cars run under Tesla's app but still rely on humans behind the wheel.Each car has a “safety monitor” in the driver's seat, making it equivalent to an Uber driver using Tesla's supervised Full Self‑Driving system.The California DMV and Public Utilities Commission expressed concern after hearing Tesla employees discuss an imminent Robotaxi launch, even though the company has not applied for the required permits.Politico reported that Tesla's counsel reassured regulators, claiming the rollout was limited to employees, friends, family, and select members of the public.Tesla is now actively recruiting “vehicle operators” in nine additional U.S. cities to replicate the Bay Area service.“Agentic checkout” is the latest frontier for artificial intelligence. Payment giants, tech platforms, and retailers are all racing to build systems that let AI handle more of the shopping journey.Mastercard, Visa, Google, and PayPal are each rolling out agentic checkout platforms, designed to let AI act as a shopper's digital assistant.PayPal is upgrading its decades‑old systems to handle the heavier transaction loads expected from AI‑driven commerce.Experts say the winners will be payment providers and e‑commerce platforms that build the infrastructure for AI agents rather than compete with them.Michelle Gill, GM of small business and financial services at PayPal said that The general sense in the industry is that “rather than competing, these stakeholders increasingly collaborate to harness the potential of agentic AI.”Mastercard's Co‑President of Global Partnerships, Sherri Haymond, said retailers won't need to replace entire platforms: “I would encourage merchants to have an open mind, and to lean in and do the work to make their environment accessible in this Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Allegations by Donald Trump: Former President Donald Trump is quoted calling for an investigation into Nancy Pelosi, accusing her of using insider information to amass wealth through stock trading. He claims Pelosi has achieved returns “practically in the history of Wall Street” and suggests this is due to her access to non-public information. Financial Discrepancies Highlighted: Pelosi’s government salary is cited as $174,000/year, yet her net worth is reported to have grown from $114.7 million in 2018 to potentially $413 million by 2024. The file references sources like OpenSecrets, Investopedia, and The Times to support these figures. Paul Pelosi reportedly earned between $7.8 million and $42.5 million in 2024 from stock trades. Stock Performance: The Pelosi portfolio allegedly returned 54% in 2024, outperforming the S&P 500’s 25% gain. Notable trades included early investments in Nvidia and Palo Alto Networks, and timely sales of Microsoft and Visa. Pelosi’s Response: In a CNN interview with Jake Tapper, Pelosi deflects the insider trading question, emphasizing her focus on the 60th anniversary of Medicaid. She denies wrongdoing, stating: “I’m not into it. My husband is,” and accuses Trump of “projecting.” Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

This week on Anime Pulse we got round three of summer previews, another end of a vtubing era, and flat tires. Up first Joseph recounts his time driving home on a flat tire, and Andrew reached High Master. Then in the industry news Vshojo shuts down with plenty of drama, and VISA gets told down by Japan to quit throwing around its weight. And finally the previews get Joseph reincarnated into a land of trash as a water magician who brings the Apocalypse, and Andrew goes swimming in a game center wearing nothing but stockings with a garterbelt.
To those of us in the hawkishly pro-Israel camp, the name Hillel Fuld is well known as an unapologetic supporter of Israel and the Jewish people, but in early June, the government of Australia, quite possibly, made Hillel Fuld the most prominent Jew on the planet. Invited to speak at a fundraiser for Magen Dovid Adom about how Israel is a world leader in high tech innovation, the Australian Department of Home Affairs revoked his visa days before he was set to depart from Israel. His crime? They justified their decision on the grounds that he might use the platform to incite hatred “against the Islamic community” based on his social media commentary about the Israel-Hamas war. These baseless allegations were based on tweets and other social media posts made by Hillel, including: “There was no massacre (of Gazans) in the humanitarian zone in Gaza,” which was later confirmed by the Washington Post and other “mainstream” media outlets. Hillel also posted that in a world where there are 1.8-2 billion Muslims, and according to polls and all available data, 10-15% of them are radical Islamists, that means there are hundreds of millions of violent Islamist extremists dedicated to destroying the West, “so it is NOT an irrational fear or “Islamophobic” to fear them.” According to Hillel, after several failed attempts to have his Visa ban rescinded, using diplomatic and media support, including a letter from US Ambassador Mike Huckabee, he said that he felt like he was “experiencing 1930's Germany level of antisemitism.” Just to gain a little perspective on what life is like for Jews in Australia living under a government SO concerned about public discourse and harmony, Jewish Australians experienced more than 2,000 anti-Jewish incidents between October 2023 and September 2024, including shul and Jewish day school bombings. In February of 2025, two Muslim nurses bragged on social media about killing or wanting to kill Jewish patients. Under PM Albanese, Australia has adopted a more critical tone toward Israel in international forums. His government supported a U.N. General Assembly resolution in December that called on Israel to end what it described as its “unlawful presence” in the “Occupied Palestinian Territory,” including eastern Jerusalem.

Conversamos con la abogada Yeniffer Sánchez sobre las nuevas reformas migratorias en España, vigentes desde mayo de 2025, y que han transformado profundamente el sistema de extranjería y la manera de regularizar a los migrantes en el país.
En el episodio de hoy de VG Daily, Eugenio Garibay y Andre Dos Santos desmenuzan los reportes frescos de Visa y Starbucks, el dato de empleo privado ADP y la sorprendente cifra del PIB estadounidense. Desde la resiliencia operativa de Visa y la presión sobre los márgenes de Starbucks, hasta el rebote en el empleo liderado por grandes empresas y el crecimiento del 3% del PIB —muy por encima de lo esperado—, el análisis va más allá de los titulares, sumando contexto, riesgos y lo que realmente está moviendo a los mercados este miércoles. Además, la dupla discute las señales mixtas en el consumo, el impacto de las importaciones en el PIB y cómo Wall Street reacciona ante estos datos. Un episodio imperdible para quienes buscan entender qué hay detrás de los números y hacia dónde mira la economía en la segunda mitad del año.

Today, we look at the downdraft in the euro and European stocks yesterday and wonder if this is merely a kneejerk reaction to the EU-US trade deal or the start of something bigger. We also run down a few big movers in the US yesterday as the AI theme remains strong in the "shovel" space in AI (those who make the hardware driving AI data centers). Finally, we use Visa's valuation to demonstrate the rich valuation in US equities, look at levels for major Euro crosses and gold and silver, break down the US macro data up today and more.

It’s a system that channels foreign wealth into U.S. businesses: creating jobs and boosting our economy without costing taxpayers anything. Like most programs in D.C. the program is now the center of controversy. Fake news, misinformation, and sensationalistic rhetoric is now being spread about the EB-5 visas. It may come as no surprise, but do NOT believe what you hear. The system is a win for Americans. We get wealthy, freedom-loving foreigners who are willing to invest in American businesses in return for the ability to come and live here. Which means instead of importing poverty to America, like the previous administration, we import entrepreneurs who will help America grow and prosper. Congress established the EB-5 visa program in 1990. It’s designed as a fast track to permanent residency for foreigners who invest significant capital in U.S. businesses. Those businesses must create at least 10 full-time jobs for American workers. The EB-5 program fuels the growth of small business in America. And small business is at the heart of our economy. I have seen firsthand, EB-5 investment in poor rural areas in America as well as inner city areas that are both plagued with unemployment. The investors often put up at least $800,000 dollars or more often in places few Americans are willing to invest in. The entrepreneur seeking a residency in America gets no guarantees except the shot at receiving a green card, provided they meet the strict requirements. What critics refuse to tell you is that this program has already pumped billions into our economy, generating tens of thousands of jobs, all while maintaining a pristine record of investor integrity. As a business owner I see how the program turns foreign capital into American opportunity. Between 2008 and 2021, EB-5 generated $37.4 billion in foreign direct investment, funding projects like hotels, infrastructure, and real estate developments. These aren’t pie-in-the-sky schemes; they’re concrete contributions to American communities that need it most. The EB-5 program employs a rigorous application process because we want to ensure we are only inviting in pro-America, pro-freedom investors. Applicants must follow strict protocol: proving their funds are lawful, undergoing extensive background checks, and sustaining their investment for years. If EB-5 visa holders don’t live up to requirements, their visas are revoked. The program’s track record speaks for itself. I can’t find any evidence of EB-5 visa holders being convicted of crimes or causing problems in America. In 2005, government investigators found fraud on behalf of program operators not the investors. Those responsible were arrested and prosecuted. In 2022, Congress refined the EB-5 visa system leading to better oversight and vetting of potential investors. As a result, program compliance rates are now reaching all time highs. This isn’t a wide-open floodgate to America either. The EB-5 program has an annual allocation of fewer than 10,000 visas. In 2024 we saw that many foreigners use the Biden era CBP One app to enter America each day! Unlike other visa programs, it doesn’t displace American workers; it creates jobs for them—over 1.7 million between 2016-2019 alone. These are American jobs created with foreign money, that could have been spent elsewhere. The EB-5 visa program is self-funded, with zero cost to the taxpayer. It’s a model of what immigration policy should be: selective, merit-based, and America-first. Under President Trump’s leadership, the program was strengthened, with investment thresholds raised in 2019 to ensure only serious investors qualify. The 2022 reforms added more transparency and accountability. The program proves, we can have secure borders and economic growth. We don’t have to choose. EB-5 visa holders are investors, not freeloaders. They don’t drain our government services, they create a tax base to help pay for those services. These are America-loving investors who want to build America with us. The EB-5 program proves it’s possible to uphold conservative principles while harnessing global wealth for American prosperity. Congress should expand this program, maximize its potential, and send a clear message: America is open for business, not for open borders.
