Tech Slide Continues but at a slower pace

The turkey is carved, the traffic is wild, and deals are in flight—will shoppers go big or keep budgets tight? Nationwide's Ben Ayers and Daniel Vielhaber join the cheer, to unwrap if inflation will Grinch up the year. From Black Friday frenzies to tariffs that bite, we’ll sleigh through the numbers and keep spirits bright. [NFM-22911AO]

Holiday Shopping Outlook: Why Santa may tighten his belt this year

Leslie welcomes back Scott Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, for a preview of the newly released 2025 'Made in America Holiday Gift Guide.' (link: https://www.americanmanufacturing.org/blog/the-2025-made-in-america-holiday-gift-guide/)
 
This year's guide makes it easier than ever for shoppers to find U.S.-made products and support American workers this holiday season.

New polling released with the Gift Guide shows overwhelming demand for locally made goods, with 81% of Americans saying they’re as likely or more likely to buy American-made products this year. The vast majority (83%) of shoppers say they would buy more Made in USA goods if these products were more widely available. The Gift Guide bridges that gap, connecting consumers with the craftsmanship, quality and well-paid jobs that come from buying Made in America.

In its 12th year, the 2025 Guide features 148 manufacturers and makers from across all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. There’s an American-made gift for everyone, with finds ranging from model airplane kits and stocking stuffers to jewelry and grills.

Shoppers can browse the guide by state or product category, and a new segment this year highlights brick-and-mortar stores specializing in state-made goods for in-person shopping. Additionally, AAM’s Made in America Directory spotlights 873 companies and their products that are not featured in this year’s Guide.

Leslie and Scott highlight five of the companies and their gift offerings for just a taste of the guide.  Here they are:

1 - WicR
2 -  Alaska Glacial Essentials Skincare
3 - Made-Plus Footwear
4 - High Strung Studios
5 - Cycle Dog

Lastly, Leslie and Scott talk about Project MFG. What's Project MFG?  Think Top Chef — but for welders, machinists and engineers. Ray Dick, founder of Project MFG and creator of the YouTube reality show 'Clash of Trades,' is inspiring the next generation of manufacturers through hands-on competition and community engagement.

Tech stocks soar driving markets higher

This week, editors Peter Suderman, Katherine Mangu-Ward, and Nick Gillespie are joined by Reason senior editor Robby Soave to discuss President Donald Trump's unexpectedly warm White House meeting with New York mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and why he now describes the socialist's agenda as "practical." They examine what this moment suggests about Trump's shifting political instincts, how it fits with his recent comments on tariffs and the state of the economy, and what the disbanding of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) signals about his governing approach.

The group then looks at Trump's attempt to influence the pending Warner Bros. merger and the broader media landscape, including worries about misinformation and new reporting that major MAGA influencer accounts on X are operating from overseas. The panel also considers the implications of six Democrats telling service members they do not have to obey illegal orders and the ensuing backlash. A listener asks how to reconcile consumer benefits from intense market competition with the need to preserve incentives for long-term innovation and investment.

Eps 520 Disrespecting the Colonizers

TSX Hits Record High and then pulls back

Time continues to pass in the Miller household. It doesn't seem very long ago I was introducing episodes about impending parenthood, kids being born, sleeping habits of babies and interactions with other parents. But here we are with one son studying engineering in his second year of college and another in his last year of high-school with plans of becoming a doctor.

I do now find myself considering the world that will be left to them. Conflicts first covered in this series 70 years ago are still raging and political machinations from the past are being repeated, with similar outcomes seemingly inevitable. Meanwhile, the planet burns or is under water.

I wanted this series to be a journey through our collective past and a celebration of human achievement. Is it fast becoming an obituary or a lengthy epitaph? Am I the voice of wisdom or is this just the negative, cynical ramblings of an old fool?

Welcome to the next tick of a clock, the next beat of a heart, the next rising of the sun.
