I’m pleased to announce that two podcasts of recent radio interviews are on-line.

Here’s a link to the first – my interview Wednesday night on John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show on the latest phase in President Trump’s China trade policy.

And here’s a link to the second – an interview early this morning on Breitbart News Daily on Sirius XM Patriot radio on those possible new Trump auto tariffs and their impact on the effort to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

Moreover, the video is now on-line of my Wednesday appearance on a Voice of America Chinese-language TV show, during which I tried to explain the Trump China policies to a Chinese audience. My English-language remarks are almost impossible to hear beneath the translator’s voice, but I thought some of you might get a kick out of this segment anyway. Click here to see it.

In addition, I was interviewed later this morning on the new North Korea nuclear crisis developments – including the on-again Trump-Kim Jong Un summit? – on the Ray Horner Morning Show on Akron, Ohio’s WAKR-AM. Unfortunately, WAKR doesn’t post many podcasts.

Even so, keep checking in with RealityChek for news of upcoming media appearances and other developments.

Heckuva busy day here at RealityChek!  And it’s not over yet!

Later tonight, I’ll be back on John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show to talk about the newest developments in President Trump’s China trade policy.  The segment is slated to begin at 10:15 PM EST.  You can listen live at this link to what’s sure to be an informative discussion involving John, me, and co-host Gordon Chang.  And if you’re doing something else (like watching The Americans?  Game 7 of the Washington Capitals’ playoff series?), I’ll post a link to the podcast as soon as one’s available.

This morning, I was interviewed on the same subject at CNNMoney.com.  I haven’t yet found the video on-line, but if I do, I’ll certainly let you know.

And in the afternoon, I appeared live on the Voice of America’s Chinese language broadcast to the People’s Republic in an effort to explain the Trump China trade policies.  Although you’ll have a hard time hearing the English discussion beneath the translation into Chinese, I’ll post this video ASAP as well.

In addition, my views on welfare reform were quoted in this news analysis yesterday by Brendan Kirby of Lifezette.com.  Click here to read it.

And here’s a link to an in depth interview I conducted (for a change) on a subject that should be near and dear to the hearts of everyone who holds a job or who hopes to secure employment:  whether revolutionary technologies already coming on stream will dramatically reduce the number of jobs for us humans.

The interview is part of the “Smart Talk” series sponsored by the Henry George School of Social Science – a New York City-based economics research and education organization on whose Board I serve.  My guest was Robin Gaster, a leading economics and technology consultant, and even though the subject of automation and employment has been covered extensively in the media, I have no doubt you’ll be astonished by many of Robin’s findings and insights.

I’m pleased to announce that I’m scheduled to return to John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show tonight to discuss the latest – and arguably the strangest – twists and turns in President Trump’s China trade policy.  Click here to listen live on-line to what’s sure to be a lively segment with John, co-host Gordon G. Chang, and me at 10 PM EST.

Also, Gordon has been good enough to quote my views in two articles he published on this subject yesterday .  The first, a Washington Post op-ed focused on the threat posed by China’s predatory policies to the global trade system. You can read it at this link.

The second, a column for TheDailyBeast.com, analyzed the President’s bizarre decision to let off the legal hook a Chinese telecommunications entity convicted of violating American sanctions on countries like North Korea and Iran. (I refuse to use the word “company,” or “business” when describing these outfits because they have nothing to do with free market capitalism as practiced in the United States or anywhere else in the world.)

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 that a new op-ed of mine was published yesterday – a post on the website of the foreign policy journal The National Interest on some of the more fundamental issues raised by the Trump administration’s tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. Click here to read my argument that the uproar over the levies reveals a major disagreement tension between the ideal of free trade and the ideal of free markets.

In addition, I’m scheduled to reappear on John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show tonight on the Trump administration’s decision to block a foreign takeover of the U.S. semiconductor company Qualcomm. The segment is slated to begin at 10:15 PM EST, and you can listen live at this link. As usual, I’ll post a link to the podcast as soon as one’s available.

And I just found out that on March 8, Ted Evanoff of the Memphis (Tennessee) Commercial Appeal quoted me in a piece on the economic impact of the Trump tariffs. Ted is one of the country’s best manufacturing reporters, and his 2010 book At the Crossroads is a superb history of the modern American automobile industry and why its fortunes sank so sharply through the outbreak of the financial crisis. So I’m always flattered to know that he’s keeping up with my work.
