I’m pleased to announce the publication of my latest freelance article.  Posted this morning at TheAmericanConservative.com, it presents never-before-seen statistics (gleaned from official U.S. government data) showing alarming U.S. vulnerability to cutoffs of vital medical goods from abroad. P.S.  It makes clear that the problem far transcends China.

I’m pleased to report two new national media appearances.

This past Saturday, the 21st, Chris Matthews of Marketwatch.com quoted my views on the tremendous possibilities for reviving domestic U.S. manufacturing – including of  healthcare-related goods needed to fight the CCP Virus – that would be created for President Trump through full use of the Defense Production Act.  Here’s the link.

Click here, meanwhile, for a March 19 article from The Epoch Times in which I note the strong start in restoring healthcare security in manufacturing created by Mr. Trump’s America First trade policies.

Sorry this is a little later than usual, but if you click on this link, you’ll be able to listen to the podcast of my Wednesday night appearance on John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show describing U.S. manufacturing’s response to the CCP (for Chinese Commnist Party) Virus crisis.

The segment, co-hosted by Gordon G. Chang, dealt both with the gaps exposed by the crisis in America’s healthcare products supply chains (discussed in detail here and here on RealityChek), and with domestic industry’s potential to reshore this production and re-jigger their stateside factories to deal with the surge in demand for pharmaceuticals, their chemical building blocks, medical devices, and surgical instruments and supplies.

I’m pleased to announce that I’m scheduled to return to John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show tonight to talk about U.S.-China relations “in a time of Wuhan Virus.”  (Spoiler alert:  They’re not good.  And barring a sea change in China’s behavior, they shouldn’t be.)

The segment, which will also feature co-host Gordon G. Chang, is slated to start at 10:15 PM EST and you can listen live here.  Can’t tune in tonight?  I’ll be posting a link to the podcast as soon as one’s available.

Speaking of podcasts, here’s one of a “Breitbart News Tonight” interview from last Friday night on the economics and politics of this coronavirus era, with a special focus on the implications for small-government Republicans and conservatives.  Click here and scroll down till you see my name.  Moreover, if you’re not into podcasts, you can read a fine summary at this link.  FYI, I don’t use the phrase “extinction event” often.

Finally, my views were covered recently in two Epoch Times articles.  In the first, from March 3, I emphasized the importance of trade and related economic policies needed to ensure that the United States regains its ability to supply its own pharmaceutical and medical device needs.  In the second, I similarly observed that the very idea of globalizing and offshoring the domestic manufacturing base has become more urgent than ever to challenge given emerging threats like pandemics.

I’m pleased to announce some new media appearances over the last week or so.

Just today, IndustryToday.com reprinted this morning’s report on the U.S. economy’s biggest exporters and importers for 2019, and how these results compare with that of 2016, the last year of the Obama administration – which not so coincidentally was also the last year of the U.S. trade policies that President Trump is seeking to overhaul.  Here’s the link.

Yesterday, Tom Ozimek of The Epoch Times quoted my views on the latest annual report of the White House Council of Economic Advisers – and on how the Trump economy has differed so far from the Obama economy.  You can read his piece here.

On February 12, Tom devoted an entire article to my first analysis of the final 2019 full-year U.S. trade figures.  Click on this link to read.

This past Wedensday night, I was interviewed on Breitbart News Tonight on Sirius XM Patriot radio on the impact of the coronavirus on the Chinese, U.S., and global economies.  To listen, click here, and then scroll down till you see my name for a February 19 segment.

On Valentine’s Day, Breitbart.com‘s John Carney cited my explanation for some of American manufacturing’s output performance in January.  Here’s the link.

I’m pleased to report that I got quoted in this morning’s Washington Post on the new Federal Reserve industrial production figures (released yesterday).  Reporter Heather Long mentioned my observation that U.S. domestic manufacturing’s recent recession seems to be over.  She could have also noted the evidence I’d presented indicating that this slump never even happened, but what the heck.

Also yesterday, I was interviewed on “Market Wrap with Moe Ansari” on the new trade deal President Trump has signed with China.  You can listen to the podcast at this link;  my segment begins just after the 27-minute mark.

That same day, Breitbart.com‘s John Carney gave me a very nice shout-out in his very important piece noting new research showing that he (and I) have been right all along about the Trump trade wars having minimal-at-best effects on prices for consumer goods.  Incidentally, Post reporter Heather Long also deserves much credit for first reporting these academic findings.  Read the piece here.

On Thursday night, the U.S.-Israeli TV network i24News also interviewed me on that “Phase One” China trade deal.  To watch the interview, click here and download the file.  As usual with i24News, be sure to download the link within a week, because after that, your freebie access will be gond.

I’m pleased to announce that I was interviewed this morning on the new U.S.-China trade deal on “The Joe Piscopo Show” on New York City’s AM 970 The Answer radio station.  Sorry that I could only give limited advance notice, but the podcast is on-line already!  Special bonus:  Jersey Joe and I also dealt with the Major League Baseball cheating scandal, too!

In addition last night, I was back on John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio program to discuss the so-called Phase One agreement with John and co-host Gordon G. Chang.  You can listen to the podcast here.

Tuesday night, I was interviewed on a wide range of foreign and domestic issues on “Breitbart News Tonight.”  Click on this link and scroll down till you see my January 14 segment.

The Breitbart.com folks were also kind enough to write up some portions of this segment in website items here and here.

On Tuesday, meanwhile, Breitbart‘s excellent economics and finance editor John Carney quoted me in his detailed analysis of the latest U.S. government report on consumer prices – which reveals whether the Trump trade wars have sparked any meaningful inflation.  You can read it at this link.  (Spoiler alert for everyone who hasn’t been paying attention to RealityChek‘s own coverage of this issue:  They haven’t.)

Meanwhile, The Epoch Times has quoted my views recently on energy security and what it means for America’s policy in the hopelessly dysfunctional Middle East, and on the progress made in reducing the U.S. the trade deficit.

On January 6, IndustryToday.com re-published – at this link – my recent blog post on the latest data undermining the claim that President Trump has betrayed his working class and middle class voters.  (Another spoiler alert:  These data indicate that he hasn’t.)

Finally, on January 2, the popular finance website AlphaWeek.com posted the video of my December RealVision.com interview on the virtues of an America First approach to U.S. foreign and trade policy – and whether Mr. Trump’s measures fit the bill.  Catch it here.

Making News: Podcast Now On-Line of a Trade Policy Debate with Obama’s Former Top Economic Advisor

I’m pleased to start off the New Year by announcing that a podcast is now on-line of a major debate over trade and globalization in which I participated in late this fall.  It was sponsored by Munk Debates – a series of policy exchanges that since 2008 have featured some of the world’s leading thinkers and policymakers in head-to-head events dealing with issues like the future of capitalism, the China threat, the rise of populism, and the emergence of political correctness.

I wasn’t crazy about the clickbait-y title (“Be it resolved, tariffs are terrific.”).  But I say “major” because my interlocutor was no less than Jason Furman, whose previous positions include chief economic advisor to former President Barack Obama. In addition to clashing over various individual on Trump tariffs (e.g., on metals), we also crossed verbal swords over the possibility and desirability of decoupling America’s economy from Chiina.

You can listen to the debate at this link, and given the importance of the subject and the prominence of my opponent, I’d be especially interested in your own reactions.

I’m pleased to announce that a lengthy, detailed interview focusing on my views on the need for a (much more) America First-focused U.S. trade policy has just been posted on The Epoch Times website.

If you’re not familiar with it, The Times is a publication founded in 2000 by “Chinese-Americans who themselves had fled communism [and] sought to create an independent media to bring the world uncensored and truthful information.”  Since then, it’s established a strong reputation as a source of reliable reporting and analysis, especially on China-related subjects, and I’m very gratified by their interest in my work.  Here’s the link.

In addition, yesterday, the popular finance website SeekingAlpha.com posted a long write-up of my recent video interview with RealVision.com on the merits of and need for America First policies on both the trade and foreign policy fronts – and on my assessment that President Trump has a long way to go before his own approaches fully merit the label.  You can access it, along with a video of the interview itself, here.

Finally, on December 20, the Hoover Institution published a blog post by noted China watcher Gordon G. Chang that cited my views on the state of the U.S.-China trade conflict.  Read it at this link.
