What with the State of the Union address and the ongoing Border Wall/government shutdown showdown and the Virginia political scandals, it’s been a more amazing last week or so than usual to be administering RealityCheks to the national scene.  As a result, I’ve fallen behind on tracking media appearances, so in this posting I’ll be catching up.

I’m especially pleased to report that an interview I was recently privileged to conduct with former Mexican Foreign Minister Jorge Castaneda has just gone on-line at the Henry George School of Social Sciences website.  As some of you may know, I’m a Trustee of the School, and the session was the latest in its “Smart Talk” sessions with some of the world’s leading economic thinkers.

The interview was conducted in late November, but trust me when I say that clicking on this link will bring you to a great conversation about numerous issues still in the headlines – especially concerning the continuing immigration crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Last Friday, I appeared on Joe Piscopo’s morning drive-time radio talk show on New York City’s AM 970 The Answer to preview the State of the Union and discuss the state of the economy.  Special bonus:  We also briefly reviewed the big New York Knicks trade of injured star Kristaps Porzingis that was announced the day before!  Here’s the link.  My segment begins just past the 35-minute mark.

Finally, on January 22, IndustryToday.com published an detailed analysis of mine on which American manufacturing industries fared the best and worst last year in terms of job and wage growth.  Click here to read.

Making News: Two National Radio China Trade Podcasts — & More!

I’m pleased to announce some new broadcast appearances.

Last night, I returned to John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show to provide an update on the U.S.-China trade talks that are taking place in Washington, D.C. right now.  Click here for a timely discussion involving John, me, and co-host Gordon G. Chang.

Incidentally, you might notice that John was not sounding like his usual chipper self.  He’s in the middle of some radiation treatment, and although he’s obviously a strong believer that “the show must go on,” he’ll be taking a break for several weeks to complete the regimen.  He says his prognosis is bright, but I’m sure you’ll all join me in wishing him a speedy and complete recovery.

Also, on Monday, I got a last-minute invitation to appear on Breitbart News Tonight to discuss the China trade talks as well as a bizarre New York Times article pretending to explain why more manufacturing can’t be returned from China to the United States.  Here’s the link to this radio interview.

Finally, tonight I’m scheduled to appear on Israel’s i24News tonight to analyze the China talks.  This television network offers only paid content on-line – including streaming videos of previous segments. But if you’re a subscriber, I hope you’ll be able to tune in live at 7:30 PM EST.

It’s been such a busy week that I didn’t get a chance to post the podcast of my interview Monday night on John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show.  The subjects:  Will America’s manufacturers be able to capitalize on opportunities created by President Trump’s tariff-centric trade policies toward China? And how far and fast can Beijing let the automation revolution proceed?

Click here to listen to a great discussion of these issues with John, co-host Gordon G. Chang, former Michigan Republican Congressman Thaddeus McCotter.

I’m pleased to announce the publication of a new op-ed piece – an article in this morning’s Washington Times explaining why the best U.S. policy toward direct investment from China (i.e., Chinese buy-ins to U.S. companies and other hard, non-financial assets) is to keep it simple and ban it all.  Here’s the link.

In addition, the podcast is now on-line of Monday night’s interview on John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show updating the U.S.-China trade conflict – with a special focus on manufacturing. Click here to access the segment on this fast-moving story.

Happy New Year one and all, and I’m pleased to announce that 2019 is scheduled to get off to a great start with a return to John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show to provide an update on the U.S.-China trade conflict.  The segment is slated to begin at 10:30 PM EST, will also feature co-host Gordon G. Chang, and you can listen live on-line at this link.

As usual, if you can’t tune in, I’ll post a link to the podcast as soon as one’s available.

Speaking of podcasts, here’s one of a radio interview I did December 27 on Breitbart News Daily on tumult in the U.S. stock markets and the outlook for the U.S. economy.  Sorry to be so late with this one, but I think you’ll find it still timely.  Click on this link and scroll down a bit till you see my name.

Finally, I got some good news this morning: My Twitter following hit 4,000.  Since then, it’s dropped by 3, but the underlying trend remains strong.  If you like RealityChek, I’m confident that all of you not yet on board will enjoy it greatly.
