I’m pleased to announce that I’m scheduled to be back tonight on the nationally syndicated “CBS Eye on the World with John Batchelor.” Our subject – the crucial question of whether recent U.S. moves bythe Trump and Biden administrations represent a worrisome new lurch toward destructive trade protectionism, or efforts to defend and promote legitimate American – and sometimes global – interests.

No specific air time had been set when the segment was recorded this morning, but the show – also featuring co-host Gordon G. Chang – is broadcast beginning at 10 PM EST, the entire program is always compelling, and you can listen live at links like this. As always, moreover, I’ll post a link to the podcast as soon as one’s available.

I’m pleased to announce that I’m scheduled to be back tonight to the nationally syndicated “CBS Eye on the World with John Batchelor” – with a difference. Since it’s Saturday, the segment will appear tonight on the program’s podcast page, not on the radio. Our subject: The implications of a report that Apple has decided to speed up its plans to move some of its massive production out of China.

I’m not sure when the pre-recorded segment will be on-line, but I’ll post a link once it’s up.

In that podcast vein, the recording is now on-line of yesterday’s interview on the also-nationally syndicated “Market Wrap with Moe Ansari.” The segment, which dealt with what the midterm results (which aren’t all in yet!) will mean for the U.S. economy – and the manufacturing sector in particular. It begins about 22 minutes into the program, and you can listen at this link.

Note: My forecast of significant Republican gains in the House and Senate seems to have been on the over-optimistic side, but of course, many key races remain undecided.

I’m pleased to announce that I’m scheduled to return tonight to the nationally syndicated “CBS Eye on the World with John Batchelor” to discuss China’s future and the outlook for Sino-America relations. 

At links like this, you can listen live to a discussion with me, John, and co-host Gordon G. Chang that will be especially timely given the conclusion of China’s latest Communist Party Congress and dictator Xi Jinping’s doubling down on his repression at home and expansionism abroad.

I don’t yet know exactly what time the segment will air, but John is on between 9 PM and midnight EST, and the entire show is always compelling. If you can’t tune in, as usual, I’ll post a link to the podcast as soon as one’s available.

In addition, RealityChek has just copped a second award from the widely followed Feedspot.com website! On the heels of being named one of its “45 Best Chemical Weapon Blogs and Websites,” RealityChek has been ranked as one of its “60 Best Recession Blogs and Websites” (coming in 29th, and ahead of other economics and business news sources like the PBS NewsHour, Benzinga.com, and Quartz.com).

chemical weapons, Feedspot.com, Making News, Market Wrap with Moe Ansari

Here are two kind of unusual entries for “Making News”:

The first is a video of my latest interview on the nationally syndicated radio program “Market Wrap with Moe Ansari.” I’ve already posted a link to the audio podcast, but I had the chance to do this segment with Moe in studio in Newport Beach, California – an opportunity I take up whenever possible because IMO the conversation goes so much better when both participants can pick up on body language and other visual cues. (P.S. It’s also better than Zooming.) So here’s your chance to see for yourself if I’m right.

In addition, I can now say that RealityChek is an award-winning site! It’s just been included on FeedSpot.com‘s list of “45 Best Chemical Weapon Blogs and Websites.” The list is “curated from thousands of blogs on the web and ranked by traffic, social media followers, domain authority & freshness.” I don’t consider myself a chemical weapons maven, and don’t write on the subject that much, but I have dealt with it a bit in the context of the Ukraine War. Therefore, it was gratifying to come in 22d, especially since the list contains quite a few mainstream news sites. Click here to see it.

And of course keep on checking in with RealityChek for news of upcoming media appearances and other developments.
