  • These Are the Signs Xi Is Losing Power in China | Gordon Chang
    Aug 16 2025

    As the Trump administration gives China another 90-day extension on elevated tariffs, I’m sitting down with China analyst Gordon Chang to get his read on U.S.–China trade talks, signs of infighting in Beijing and trouble for Xi Jinping, and the recent destruction of a Chinese coast guard vessel by a Chinese navy warship.

    Chang is the author of “Plan Red: China’s Project to Destroy America.”

  • The Movie Beijing Doesn’t Want You to See | Yan Ma
    Aug 15 2025

    Canadian-Chinese filmmaker Yan Ma knew from the outset that he was putting himself at risk for making a political thriller about a lab leak in China. “The Unrestricted War” is a movie that was inspired by the cover-up and outbreak of COVID-19 and spotlights how the Chinese Communist Party coerces its citizens, and even foreigners living within China, to achieve its ends.

    Officials pressured Ma’s family members back in China in attempts to coerce him to stop the project. His Chinese team members faced similar pressure. Ethnically Chinese actors refused to participate in the film for fear of the Chinese regime targeting them, ruining their careers, or threatening their families. The actor cast as the lead of the project abruptly backed out just three days before filming, leaving Yan and his casting director scrambling to audition a new lead.

    In this episode, we dive into some of the extraordinary challenges Yan and his team faced to make this movie a reality, and why he feels it was all worth it.

  • Impact of Trump’s Trade, Tax, Energy Policies | Mark Skousen
    Aug 13 2025

    “As an economist, it’s extremely important to look at the data, rather than just on a theoretical basis,” says Mark Skousen. “We should be in a recession. Well, we’re not in a recession; looks like we’re coming out of slow growth, which is really important.”

    In this episode, I sit down with economist Mark Skousen to discuss taxes, tariffs, trade, and energy.

    “I think somewhere in between what the Fed wants and what Trump wants is a more reasonable approach to keep this economy on an even keel,” says Skousen. “The other thing that’s really positive is President Trump’s support for nuclear power, the small nuclear power plants, which don’t cost as much and can be done much more efficiently. This is a breakthrough.”

    We also discuss his latest book, “The Greatest American: Benjamin Franklin, The World’s Most Versatile Genius.”

    “There were many critics of Franklin, but he had a very interesting point of view. He said enemies will teach you a lot about yourself,” says Skousen. “So, you should be grateful for the enemies you have.”
