Tariffs aren’t just policy — they mark a structural shift in the global order. On CNN NewsNight, I explained how 145% tariffs on China signal a break from post-WWII trade norms. Stagflation is the near-term risk. But what comes next — an American industrial revival or a collapse in... trust in the U.S. risk-free asset? Behind the scenes: A pleasure to meet Van Jones — kind and a class act; Shermichael Singleton — brilliant and a pleasure to speak with; Ashley Allison — friendly, engaging, and very sharp. And “the boss” herself, Abby D. Phillip — thank you for having me on. Also great to see Steve Moore again! See you next month — I’ll be back. Watch: StoneX Group Inc.show more

@CNN I'm going to leave this graph right here. Tariffs are taxes on everyday Americans, not corporations or owners. They pass it on to buying public!!

@MrShermichael @CNN He always talks about black men who voted for Trump. 72% of BLACK MEN did not vote for Trump. Mr Singleton stop posting your false narratives of black men. FYI, a whole bunch of black me are starting to regret their vote.

Bill Ackman Bill Ackman on markets and tariffs. Bill Ackman gives his optimistic take on what he expects over the next 6 -9 months: - Ukraine / Russia war to be resolved. - Some kind of resolution in the Middle East with Iran. - Inflation largely run out of the economy and will stay down. On tariffs: "I think tariffs, if they ultimately get resolved will increase the cost by a percentage of some products - but it's not like inflation that will compound - it's more like a one time reset." "I think what's important is that tariffs get resolved in the relative short-term." What does "resolved" mean on tariffs? "I would say Trump has gotten the world's attention on trade imbalances and unfair trading practices with our partners." "My argument is, made the point with China, but 145% tariff means we're ceasing doing business with China. That has very negative repercussions for China and for U.S. small businesses and others." "The right thing to do, in my view, is we pause on China - let's give it a little more time - maybe it's 180 days because we're going to be busy here. What that does is it stabilizes the risk to the U.S. economy and small businesses around the country. But China is now highly incentivized to make a deal."

🇺🇸 A new chapter in U.S. trade policy is taking shape The Trump administration is replacing expiring tariffs with new Section 301 duties tied to forced labor investigations, expanding their reach to dozens of countries. He says markets have largely taken the latest tariffs in stride, but legal challenges and investigations into industrial overcapacity could determine what comes next for U.S. trade policy and relations with China. The latest moves suggest tariff policy will remain a key part of the administration's broader trade strategy. Source: Bloomberg Television YT / Writer: Val

Long overdue. Shermichael Singleton refuses to let Abby Phillip bulldoze him during a debate on voter ID. Phillip kept trying to cut him off and talk over him, but Singleton wasn’t going to allow himself to be steamrolled. SINGLETON: “I think most Americans would say, yeah, you got to show an ID in order to vote—” PHILLIP: “Just to be clear, it’s not just voter ID bill.” SINGLETON: “Let me finish my point.” PHILLIP: “It bans mail-in voting, which Republicans use.” SINGLETON: “Let me finish my point. Let me finish my point!” PHILLIP: “In states like Utah and Florida...” SINGLETON: “Let me finish my point, Abby. I understand that there’s nuance to the legislation—” PHILLIP: “It’s important because you can’t just take a poll on voter ID. That’s not going to cut it.” SINGLETON: “But the point is, though, which I was going to make if you would have allowed me to. I understand that there’s nuance to the legislation. There’s always nuance to legislations.”

🇺🇸Trump’s Tariff Plan Explained: Destroy or Help The US Economy? Trump describes tariffs as his "favorite word." To understand the concept, think of it like this: Imagine you’re an accountant seeking business referrals. You meet someone who sells auto insurance, and you agree to exchange referrals equally. A month later, you’ve given them five referrals, but they haven’t given you any. You now have a "referral deficit" while they have a "referral surplus." This is similar to a trade deficit versus a trade surplus. Now, on a larger scale, the U.S. has a global trade deficit of $1.1 trillion, meaning it has provided $1.1 trillion more business to other countries than it has received. China, on the other hand, has a trade surplus of $823 billion, receiving more business than it gives. Trump’s use of tariffs is an attempt to address these imbalances and renegotiate trade deals. Tariffs are tools that governments can use to create leverage in trade negotiations. Historically, tariffs have been used as a form of taxation on imports, dating back to the Roman Empire and becoming prominent in the mercantilist policies of the 16th and 18th centuries. Economist Adam Smith, known for his book Wealth of Nations, argued that tariffs can disrupt free trade, but he noted 2 exceptions: protecting industries critical to national security and counteracting tariffs imposed by other nations. These points remain relevant in modern trade discussions. When examining trade surpluses and deficits globally, China leads with a significant surplus, while countries like the U.S., UK, and India experience deficits. Tariffs can serve as leverage to balance these relationships and ensure fair trade practices. Understanding tariffs and trade negotiations is key to grasping how governments seek to protect their economies and industries in a globalized world. Source: Patrick Bet-David , @ValuetainmentTV

Newsom: But every few hours, every news cycle, there’s another zig and zag. It’s chaotic. I’ll give you a specific example: just this morning, in anticipation of meeting with Chinese counterparts in Geneva, he decided to negotiate against himself—the great negotiator—from 145% tariffs imposed on China, now he says, “Well, maybe it should be 80%.” Who knows what happens in the next few hours? And if you’re someone buying goods from overseas—from China—how do you make a decision? Maybe you wait another week, maybe another month, and see if it gets down to 10%, like it is in the UK.

WOW! CNN Abby Phillip believes she can dictate what the answers need to be on the show and Shermichael Singleton refuses to bend the knee. Abby: I mean, listen, Michael. You're a friend of the show. You're my friend. Please answer the question! Shermichael: You're not going to dictate the way I answer questions on this show. You may not like the way I answered the question, but I gave an answer. This is a clear example of how fatal Trump Derangement Syndrome can be.

Trump Raised Tariffs on South Korea — Here’s the Real Reason. You Can’t Have U.S. Troops and Side With China. President Trump just raised U.S. tariffs on South Korea from 15% to 25% — and this had nothing to do with trade paperwork. This was a strategic warning. In this video, I break down why South Korea crossed a red line by declaring “neutrality” between the United States and China, why U.S. protection is no longer free, and how Trump is rewriting the rules for American allies. Using hard trade data, I show why South Korea’s economy actually depends more on the U.S. than China, how Beijing steals IP from Korean firms like Samsung while trying to replace them, and why China will never truly trust Seoul because of North Korea.

In a trade war, SIZE MATTERS — and the U.S. economy has the upper hand. People keep asking me, “What if China sells off U.S. Treasuries?” My response? Go ahead. Because here’s the reality: when hundreds of thousands of jobs are at risk in China, the pressure doesn’t land on the U.S., it lands straight on Xi Jinping’s desk. This isn’t a war of bombs. It’s a war of economics. And in that battle? Money talks. Everything else is just noise. If we hit back with 25%… 400% tariffs… AND shut down the markets? You’ll see how quickly the conversation moves to Geneva. That’s how leverage works.
