Summary

President Trump is meeting with President Xi Jinping in China. One of the main topics is China’s interest in Taiwan, which remains a key issue in U.S.-China relations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel is planning legal action against The New York Times, alleging the paper has published anti-Semitic content. Jerome Powell will remain on the Federal Reserve Board after serving as Fed Chair. Kevin Warsh has been named as the new incoming Fed Chair. Mark interviews economist Steve Moore. Steve discusses Taiwan’s strong economy compared to China, noting this as a possible motivation for China’s interest in Taiwan. He also points out that China receives more oil through the Strait of Hormuz than the U.S. does. Steve mentions the current global shortage of fertilizer and suggests that President Trump could consider lifting tariffs on fertilizer imports. President Trump is most likely taking extra security precautions in China due to concerns about surveillance, including the possibility of microphones in hotels and meeting rooms. Dr. Anthony Fauci, prominent in the U.S. COVID-19 response, has faced criticism regarding some of his guidance during the pandemic. A left-leaning leader currently leads the UK government. Mark suggests that if UK voters become dissatisfied, there could be a shift toward more conservative policies, which could also be reflected in future U.S. elections. Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. Jimmy comments that the liberal leanings of most late-night TV hosts may be contributing to declining ratings and affecting public perception. He and Mark also discuss the popularity of Johnny Carson’s former home and why it attracts so many visitors.
