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: New National Radio Podcast on Tariffs and China Trade Now On-Line…& More!

Once again I got a sort-of-last-minute request last night from Breitbart News Tonight to appear on that radio show.  But thanks to the invention of the podcast, you can listen to the interview on-line.  So click here (the segment with my name on it is right near the top), for a great discussion about how President Trump’s tariffs are (and aren’t) impacting the American economy and its manufacturing sector, and about whether a truce in the U.S.-China trade war is in the offing.

In addition, it was great to be quoted yesterday on the trade implications of the latest Federal Reserve industrial production data by Breitbart‘s John Carney – the only other analyst I’ve seen who has consistently been reporting on the message being sent by official U.S economic data on the tariffs’ actual impact on the U.S. economy.

Finally, IndustryToday.com this last week re-published two recent RealityChek posts – on how supposedly tariff-vulnerable metals-using industries generally have been claiming even more job openings than the rest of the manufacturing sector; and on a possible big new reason why manufacturing wages have lagged so far beyond job creation.

Last night I got another late-night national radio opportunity, so I couldn’t clue you in beforehand. But thank goodness for podcasts, because now you can listen on-line to my interview with Breitbart News Tonight on the U.S. economy and next week’s midterm elections.  Click on this link and then scroll down a fair ways until you see the episode with my name on it.

Also, it was great to see IndustryToday.com re-post my October 25 offering on a Wall Street Journal pundit who just unwittingly reminded Americans why a Trump-style course change in U.S. China trade policy was urgently needed.

I’m pleased to announce that I’m scheduled to return to John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show tonight at 9:30 PM EST.  You can listen live here as John, co-host Gordon G. Chang, and I talk about President Trump’s China trade policies with a special focus on public opinion.

If you can’t tune in tonight, as always, I’ll post a link to the podcast as soon as one’s available.

Also, it was great to see IndustryToday.com re-post (with permission, of course!) my column from earlier today on U.S. trade policy’s culpability for the Central American migrants’ crisis.

I’m pleased to announce that my views on U.S.-China trade relations have been cited once again in one of Gordon G. Chang’s pieces on the subject. Click on to this link to read the American Conservative article – which anticipates that my recommendation that the United States start to disengage economically from the People’s Republic will steadily become more mainstream.

In addition, IndustryToday.com reprinted yesterday’s post on the detailed May U.S. trade figures.  Click here to have a look.

And last, but certainly not least, tonight I will be participating in a debate on using tariffs to protect U.S. defense and defense-related industries.  It will take place tonight on the George Washington University campus in Washington, D.C. and is sponsored by The Fund for American Studies.  My interlocutor will be Prof. Donald J. Boudreaux, an economist at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University and a strong advocate of conventional trade policies.

The event isn’t open to the general public, but it will be recorded, and I’ll post a link to the streaming video as soon as it’s available.

I’m pleased to announce that the podcast is on-line of my Thursday night interview on John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show. In case you missed it live, click here to listen to a fascinating discussion among John, co-host Gordon G. Chang, and me, about the Trump administration’s recent decision to prevent semiconductor manufacturer Broadcom from taking over fellow chip-maker Qualcomm.

Also that day, I was quoted in this Marketwatch.com post on the President’s controversial claim that the United States currently runs a trade deficit with Canada.

In addition, on March 12, I was interviewed at length on the Voice of America (VOA) about President Trump’s China trade policy. Since the segment was broadcast on one of VOA’s Chinese-language TV channels, you’ll be hearing a simultaneous translation of my remarks with my own English version only somewhat audible in the background. But although it’s nearly impossible for a non-Chinese speaker to know what’s going on, here, for the record, is the link. My segment begins just before the 23-minute mark.

Finally, on March 6, IndustryToday.com re-ran my recent RealityChek post on naive (or disingenuous?) claims that there’s lots of free trade in the world steel market. Here’s the link.

I’m pleased to announce more recent media appearances.

On January 31, IndustryToday.com re-published my post that day the ambiguous data put out by the Labor Department on American workers’ pay broadly defined. Here’s the link.

Two days before, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ran a feature article largely based on my latest analysis of manufacturing wages – and why they’ve been performing so poorly. Click here to read. It was also good to see this piece picked up in msn.com‘s “Money” section.

Finally, on January 25, Gordon G. Chang quoted me in this DailyBeast.com post on where we stand with President Trump’s approach to the world trade system.
