With President Donald Trump bent on initiating a trade war by hiking tariffs on imports from major trading partners such as China, Mexico, and Canada, an infamous piece of legislation passed in 1930 is piquing Americans' curiosity. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act imposed the highest duties in U.S. history on roughly one-fourth of all imports. It contributed to a steep falloff in global trade and exacerbated the Great Depression. Just when world commerce needed stimulation, many countries erected tariff barriers, often in retaliation for Smoot-Hawley. In this episode, economic historian Phillip Magness of the Independent Institute delves into the reasons why U.S. leaders once believed high tariffs were beneficial and how the executive branch obtained broad power to manipulate tariffs in the decades since.

The COVID-19 pandemic swept the world in 2020, resulting in most governments locking down their countries in an effort to slow the spread, so hospitals didn't get overwhelmed at once.

In COVID-19: Lockdowns on Trial, author and researcher Michael Betrus provides you with a fast-paced journey through the pandemic and its spread.

In this book, you will see: --Lockdowns by state--and many countries--and what the government actions were --The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and state data with insight from medical sources, like The Lancet and medRxiv --Analysis of actual COVID-19 deaths and how they were counted--The most important data point to determine COVID-19’s death impact, and that it’s never talked about --How the lockdowns triggered record unemployment and economic ruin, and future deaths and despair in likely excess of the COVID-19 deaths --A breakdown of how the media covered the pandemic, driving panic in the American public and keeping politicians from reopening after the lockdowns --Social consequences of the lockdowns: increasing domestic violence, distance learning challenges, suicides --The anti-lockdown protests and the struggle to reopen states --More than 100 charts, graphs and tables included to illustrate the data Read COVID-19: Lockdowns on Trial, to see what was really happening during the pandemic of 2020... and then you be the judge.

Computers can calculate huge amounts of data much more efficiently than a human brain. But, can they make decisions? Are they intelligent? Are they creative? Perhaps most intriguing, do they have a conscious? With the recent crashes of the two Boeing 737 MAX airliners, the discussion of whether or not industries like aviation have become too automated and complex has once again resurfaced. With President Donald Trump tweeting that airplanes have "become far too complex to fly" a very real debate has re-energized: is automation and complex software changing the industry for the better, or for the worse? Join me, LO, as I explore some of the basics behind why some people feel that computers and software lie at the heart of the two recent 737 MAX crashes, among others. I will also dive in to difficult, almost existential questions, such as, at what point does a computer go from being a programmable logic machine, to one that has a conscious, and is able to be aware of itself; to make intuitive decisions? While this discussion can quickly get way out of the scope of The Aviation LO Down/ATC Memes, Books such as Gödel, Escher, Bach have attempted to tie it all together, with the idea being that systems of consciousness and recursion can emerge from seemingly meaningless components, and I encourage anyone interested in chewing on the idea of real artificial intelligence to explore that book. I'll also dive into some of the people from the past who have also echoed their concerns on automation and machines; some of them may surprise you! From Karl Marx, to Will Smith, to Donald Trump, this episode will get your thinking caps on, and your autopilot systems off.

President Ronald Reagan appointed two men for the Supreme Court in 1987. The first, Robert Bork, was rejected by the Senate by a 42 to 58 margin for his conservative views on personal privacy and the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that protects access to legal abortion. Reagan’s second nominee, Robert Kennedy, confirmed by a 98-0 majority, set off a firestorm in Washington, DC last month when he announced he was retiring from his post as the Supreme Court Justice long considered the “swing vote” by observers on both sides. With President Donald Trump announcing former Kennedy clerk Brett Kavanaugh as his nominee on Monday, the highest court in the land appears poised to make a major swing towards conservatism. But according to reporter Mark Walsh of the Peabody Award-winning SCOTUSblog, that all depends on whether Kavanaugh receives at least some of the bipartisan support that led to Kennedy’s 1987 Senate confirmation, or if his long record of opinions as a federal appeals court judge will doom him to the kind of year Robert Bork had. In this week’s episode of “TrumpWatch” on WBAI, host Jesse Lent talks to Mark about his fascinating first-person account of the announcement of Kavanaugh’s nomination, “A ‘view’ from the East Room: The Brett Kavanaugh story,” and asks him to examine which kind of 1987 fate that Trump’s nominee appears to be heading for.

With President Donald Trump less than an hour away from addressing Congress for the first time, we preview what he's likely to say and how he's been performing in The White House so far. Three months on from India's surprise decision to remove high-valued banknotes from circulation, we examine how the economy has been affected with British economist Roger Bootle. Despite frequent reports that 'Milennials' are finding it difficult to get onto the housing ladder, a report from HSBC suggests that home ownership may not be all that out of reach for young adults in the 21st century. The survey of 9000 people in nine countries indicates that 40 per cent own their own home and 83 per cent of those that don't are planning on buying in the next five years. Should stars of stage and screen get involved in politics, or is it best left to the professionals? Following the Hollywood awards season, where many a political viewpoint emerged among the acceptance speeches, we ask whether celebrities have a part to play in the political sphere and do people actually listen to them? And joining us to discuss all that are Andrew Peaple, Deputy Asia Finance editor for the Wall Street Journal and Katie Long, of Marketplace (Picture Credit - Getty)
