In the past few years, as street drug makers increasingly cut fentanyl into drugs like cocaine, there’s been a rise in overdoses among people who aren’t addicted to opioids. Nashville, in particular, has seen overdoses rise among tourists. The city has worked to get overdose reversal drugs into downtown bars and music venues. We'll learn what the uptake process was like. Also: a bond market checkup and a pullback in corporate sponsorship at Pride events.
We’re continuing to comb through the evolving big package of tax cuts and spending being worked out by Republicans in the Senate. Today, we explore what the effects could be on businesses. Plus, after Israel launched attacks on Iran's nuclear capabilities, open warfare in the region is forcing money to shift on financial markets. And, President Donald Trump is acknowledging the toll immigration raids are having on some industries that rely on immigrant workers.
From the BBC World Service: In a dramatic heightening of tensions, Israel's military said it had struck "dozens of military targets, including nuclear targets in different areas of Iran." The strike had led to a 10% rise in oil prices. And later on the program: Investigations are continuing to look into what exactly happened to Flight AI171 between Ahmedabad and London Gatwick, which crashed soon after take-off, killing nearly everyone on board.
The Senate is working through the massive tax and spending bill. The House has passed its version, but the two plans still have to be reconciled. Today, we'll dig into what the legislation could mean for your own personal tax bill and the national deficit. Also on the show: Inflation remains tame despite pricier shipping rates, and booming sales of the Nintendo Switch 2 bode well for the gaming industry.
Many labor unions were once wary of immigrants, viewing them as low-cost competitors for union jobs. Now, changing demographics and common interests have resulted in unions playing a more prominent role in immigrant workforces and communities. We'll hear more. Plus, a bill before the House would claw back more than $9 billion in funding, and a United Nations report shows nearly 138 million children are working worldwide.
From the BBC World Service: U.S. President Donald Trump's economic policies have rattled markets and dented consumer confidence. Few corners of the American market have been spared, from fast food chains to high-profile horse racing events — including the Preakness Stakes, one of three races comprising the Triple Crown. We went along last month to learn what the attitude of race-goers can reveal about the current economic mood. Plus, a review of Washington's multibillion-dollar submarine deal with Britain and Australia.
Hurricane season starts in two and a half weeks. Last year, hurricanes caused $124 billion in damage. This year, the Trump administration is making cuts to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Today, we head to Houston to hear how community "hub houses" offer support during disasters. Plus, the U.S and China appear back on track toward a trade truce and Trump administration policies are causing chaos for rural solar businesses.
A summertime gig can be a rite of passage for many, and summer hiring of teenagers crests right about now. Seasonal jobs may be harder to find this year though amid tariffs, travel restrictions and general economic uncertainty. And when teens don't find a summer job, there can be long-term consequences. Also on the show: the Forest Service is down firefighters ahead of wildfire season and a look at what's next for cooling U.S.-China trade relations.
From the BBC World Service: The U.S. and China say that, during talks in London, they’ve sketched out a framework to dial down their trade fight after slapping big tariffs on each other. But those trade tensions aren’t doing the global economy any favors; the World Bank has slashed its global growth forecast. And later, we hear how a tea plantation in India is fighting climate change with rock dust.
Undocumented workers form a key part of the economy in a number of industries — including domestic work, agriculture, hospitality and construction. As immigration raids and protests in Los Angeles continue, we'll examine what increased immigration enforcement will mean for the job market, both locally and nationally. Plus: a dispatch from a supermarket in Japan amid rising rice prices and a trial in London with big implications for the business of AI.
After over a decade of litigation, a federal judge has signed off on a settlement allowing schools in the power conferences to issue direct revenue-sharing payments to athletes. Now, universities face large costs and hard choices about which sports benefit and which are left behind. But first: Hedge fund manager Ray Dalio shares why he's worried about government debt and the potential for a "bond market heart attack."
From the BBC World Service: Japan is facing a rice emergency. Prices are soaring, supplies are tight, and it's already cost one government minister his job. So what's going on? It's a mix of bad weather, fewer rice-farming households, and booming demand from tourism and dining out. We'll unpack. Plus, a Danish drugmaker is closing a Copenhagen factory that produces antibiotics for Europe. We'll learn about the causes and implications.
Get an X-ray or ultrasound with a hospital-affiliated doctor and you may note a so-called facility fee on your bill ranging from $15 to several hundred or more. The additional charges are showing up on more patients' bills, now that some 40% of doctors work for hospitals. But this year, 15 states are trying to limit these fees. But first: Why do people tip more in Delaware than they do in California?
Mortgages comprise about 70% of household debt. We're told to pay off that debt before retiring. But over three decades, data shows more people are still paying their home loans after retirement, and what is owed has increased dramatically. We'll learn more. But first, we'll hear what's on the agenda for today's U.S.-China trade talks in London and discover why investors are flocking to money market funds.
From the BBC World Service: Figures out today for May show China's exports to the U.S. dropped sharply, down nearly 13% from April. That data comes before officials from both countries are due to meet in London for high-stakes trade talks. Last month, talks in Geneva resulted in significantly reduced tariffs. Plus, in Italy, it's the second day of voting on whether to alter residency requirements for citizenship.
Call it an "it could have been worse" jobs report. In May, 139,000 more people drew paychecks, which is higher than expected. Job growth was up in sectors like teaching and health care, but immigration policy is hurting hiring in construction and retail. What sort of picture does this paint of the economy? And later: The BBC's James Graham explores what it takes to shut down a fraudulent e-commerce website.
It's a public breakup of sorts: Elon Musk thinks President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" is bloated and financially destructive. In response, Trump is threatening moves that will hurt Musk's companies including SpaceX and Tesla. We'll discuss what it says about how companies manage their CEOs. Plus, try not to finish all the popcorn before the movie starts. AMC says it will show even more ads ahead of feature films starting in July.
From the BBC World Service: Financial regulators from the United Kingdom, Australia and the United Arab Emirates are teaming up to crack down on questionable financial advice on social media, targeting so-called "finfluencers." Then, India’s central bank has made its steepest rate cut in five years. And, how can you spot if a website is fraudulent and what can you do to take it down? We take a look at scam websites.
The trade deficit — the difference between what the U.S. imports and what it exports — shrank by the most ever recorded in a single month in April. That news follows the largest widening of the trade deficit on record in the first quarter. We'll unpack what to make of it all. Also, service sector activity falls as tariffs take a bite, and predictive contracts raise questions around gambling regulation.
Expect the White House to keep trying to claw back money that Congress appropriated and that the Trump administration is supposed to spend. Administration officials think they’ve found a loophole in the law that runs out the clock on federal funding through a process known as rescission. We'll hear more. Plus, a group of Altadena homeowners who lost houses to this year’s wildfires are banding together to try to keep rebuilding costs down.

Get Fauci away from those chickens !!
Elite did a Maui on Pacific Palisades.
lack of imported labor raises labor costs, read opening the border and cheap labor pours in, the lower end workers make less money. How does that help the poor? Cesar Chavez was against the inflow border crossing cheap labor because it lowers the incomes of all but the corporations. Ask your Democrat politician why Biden hates labor. While you are at it, ask Nancy Polosi why she too hates having to pay the higher amount for local labor and insists on open labor borders.

Although baccarat appears to be a fairly straightforward, simple game that is completely dependent on chance, it has remained very popular for many years. The most difficult part of the game is counting points when the winner is determined, but in offline casinos this is done by the dealer, and on online platforms everything happens automatically.

Humanitarian aid to Gaza so they can repeat?
If I spent , borrowed, then dumped that borrowed money into the market, as much as the Federal government does, the inflation would grow exponentially. The key is that the inflation is based on the difference between taxes income and money spent. If government borrowing covers the over spending each borrowed dollar lowers the value of each dollar already in the market, since the tax income doesn't change. Ergo inflation. Consumer spending increases the market value by the exchanging of dollars.
Why not improve public schools rather than drag Private Schools down.
Using Biden style overseeing. See no Evil, Hear no Evil, Say nothing about the Evil, such as Biden's control over the FBI and the CIA. Nancy Pelosi must be proud of the use of child labour as she promoted border crossing of all the children to do various kinds of work. Can you list all the things children can do? I knew you could. Such a good neighbor.
Nothing like semi- slavery to save on labor costs. Elites develope vaccines to have low wage autistic laborers for duties that would have cost more for non-autistic labor. You missed a table.
Take the money and run, sounds like a Leftist. I didn't know Biden was an artist.
Hitler thought a war and Holocaust was worth getting art.
Downtowns anywhere in California are exposed to the security that is not provided by the Democrat political powers in California and the fear of Downtown attacks prevents wise businesses from operating in downtown areas.
Human trafficking is dangerous since you would be competing with the Biden administration directly as they are flying in and bussing in migrants themselves.
People, some of the 7,000,000 that left Venezuela, can tell Democrats why changing the USA to Socialism/Communism is so dangerous. Not the change they want but have been herded into.
