I’m pleased to announce several new recent media appearances.

Yesterday, I returned to the nationally syndicated “Market Wrap with Moe” to talk about those supply chain snags that are roiling the entire economy and pushing up prices, and about whether we’ve seen peak U.S. domestic manufacturing at least for now. Visit this link and click on the play button under “Current Market Wrap” to listen to the podcast.  My segment starts at about the 21:30 mark.  

In his Tuesday op-ed for TheHill.com, Gordon G. Chang quoted my views on whether or not the world economy is going to resume globalizing and generally coming together economically, or keep de-globalizing. You can read the article here.

Also on Tuesday, IndustryToday.com re-posted (with permission!) my RealityChek report on how the new Federal Reserve industrial production figures indicate that, at least for the time being, domestic manufacturers have succumbed to recent CCP Virus-related and other obstacles to growth. Here’s the link.

On September 30, Jeremy Beck of the immigration realist organization NumbersUSA posted an item on the group’s website that took off from a prior offering of mine to spotlight the intellectual fakery of many mainsteam economists on the subject of mass immigration’s impact on the wages of U.S. workers. Click here to see that the situation is even worse than I thought.

Finally, on September 28, a post by the Cato Institute’s Ted Galen Carpenter (full disclosure: a close personal friend) used some of my arguments on China phone calls made by U.S. Army General Mark A. Milley, President Biden’s top uniformed military adviser, to explain why they should worry the heck out of all Americans. Click here to read.

Sorry this is a little late, but I’m pleased to announce that I appeared on Tuesday, August 3, on Moe Ansari’s nationally syndicated “Market Wrap” radio program.

Click here and scroll down till you see my name for the podcast of the segment –  which dealt with leading economic issues ranging from the latest developments in U.S. trade policy to the health of our domestic manufacturing base to the prospects for major new federal infrastructure spending and what kind of boost it may give to the nation’s growth rate, its job creation, and its productivity.

The interview begins at about the 21:40 mark of the August 3 program.

Making News: A New Piece on the U.S.-China Meeting, an Upcoming Radio Interview…& More!

Alaska, Biden administration, China, Eamonn Fingleton, Making News, Market Wrap with Moe Ansari, The American Conservative, The National Interest, Trade, Trade Deficits

I’m pleased to announce that my latest article for an outside publication: a piece for The National Interest on the outcome of last week’s U.S.-China meeting in Alaska. Click here for an analysis that follows up my assessment of the session’s first day, and explains why Presiden Biden’s emissaries undermined America’s position vis-a-vis the People’s Republic.

Special background tidbit: My suggested headline was “Half-Baked in Alaska.” But media outlets themselves typically claim the final word on titles, and rightly so, since marketing considerations are involved. But I’d be curious whether RealityChek readers prefer The National Interest‘s choice or mine.

In addition, I’m scheduled to appear today on Moe Ansari’s nationally syndicated “Market Wrap” radio program to discuss the Alaska meeting and its implications yet further. The segment is likely to air at about 8:30 PM EST, and you can listen live at this link. As usual, if you’re not able to tune in, I’ll post a link to the podcast as soon as one’s available.

Finally, it was great to be quoted in veteran British economic journalist Eamonn Fingleton in his latest article for The American Conservative. Click here for an informative treatment of why America’s continuing, towering trade deficits matter decisively.

I’m pleased to announce that the podcast is now available of my interview yesterday with Moe Ansari on his nationally syndicated “Market Wrap” radio program. This was a real corker of a segment, turning into an awfully intense (but always civil!) debate about the best way for the United States to deal with the Chinese economic and national security threat – by relying on its own devices (a la, more or less, President Trump) or by building international coalitions (the preferred approach of President-elect Biden). Click here to listen and go to the “Current Market Wrap: link. My segment begins at about the 27-minute mark.

Making News: Podcast On-Line of NYC Impeachment & Economy Interview, New Appearance Coming Today … & a Correction

I’m pleased to announce that the podcast is now on-line of an interview last night in the wee hours on New York City’s WABC-AM’s “Other Side of Midnight” program. Click here for a timely conversation with host Frank Morano on the possibility of a Trump impeachment, the political impact of the Capitol riot, and what the latest official U.S. trade report told us about the health of the economy and the effects of Mr. Trump’s tariff-centric policies. (You’ll see my segment right at the top.) 

In addition, I’ll be discussing the same subjects later today on Moe Ansari’s nationally syndicated “Market Wrap” radio show. Click here and then on the “listen live” link on the right starting at a few minutes before 8 PM EST. My segment will probably begin about halfway into the hour-long program. And if you can’t tune in, as usual I’ll be posting a link to the podcast as soon as one’s available.

As for the correction, in yesterday’s post laying out the case against impeaching the President, I stated that the Mueller report into the Trump-Russia collusion charges presented on p. 89 of its second volume the argument that mitigating against accusing Mr. Trump of obstruction of justice was abundant evidence that the President lacked criminal or corrupt intent.

This argument was indeed made, but not on that page. Instead, you’ll find on pp. 7, 47, 51, 56, 57, 62, 76, 97 and 157, descriptions of episodes indicating that the President acted out of a genuine belief that he was being framed and due to other legitimate considerations.  And on p. 7, you’ll find the explanation that the obstruction statues require “consideration of [such] motives for his conduct.”  You can also read these passages in this post.

I apologize for the error and for any confusion caused. Thanks to the careful, sharp-eyed reader who caught the mistake!

I’m pleased to announce that the podcasts are now on-line of my two national radio interviews yesterday on U.S. trade policy under a Biden administration.  The special focus:  whether the United States should be worried that 14 Asia-Pacific countries – including all of America’s main regional allies – have just signed a Chinese-organized agreement to set up a free trade zone called the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).

My appearance on Moe Ansari’s “Market Wrap with Moe” can be found at this site, and clicking on the play button of the “Current Market Wrap” (“Cold War with China”) episode.  The interview begins just before the 23-minute mark.

I’m pleased to announce that I’m scheduled to return to national radio tonight when I guest on The John Batchelor Show.  The subjects for John, co-host Gordon G. Chang, and me will be China, trade, manufacturing, and the election.

The pandemic is still forcing John and Gordon to pre-record segments, so I’m not yet sure about air-time.  But it seems that you can listen live to the show on-line at this all-purpose link starting at 9 PM EST.  And of course, if you can’t tune in, I’ll post a link to the podcast as soon as one’s available.

In addition, yesterday, I was interviewed on the popular Market Wrap with Moe Ansari radio show on the election (including the debate!), trade policy, the future of the entire U.S. economy, the fate of CCP Virus relief legislation, and a surprising recent example of collusion with Russia.  To listen to the podcast, click here and then on the show with my name on it.  My segment starts at about the 23:38 mark.

Finally, my friend Ted Galen Carpenter has just published in the Cato Journal a fascinating piece on the history of U.S. news coverage of U.S.-China relations – which certainly has seen its ups and downs in recent decades.  It was great, moreover, to see Ted cite two of my writings along the way.  Here’s the link.
