Monday, June 3, 2019 Two CEOs Talk Manufacturing and Tariffs Welcome to our first ever sponsored edition, where politics meets business! In the spirit of The Flip Side, we wanted to provide two different perspectives at the same time on a given topic. We were thrilled to have the opportunity to sit down with the founders of retail companies Stuart & Lau and Wool & Prince. We discussed the nuances of manufacturing overseas vs. in the US, and how the recent trade war with China is impacting their operations – a timely topic as President Trump is considering imposing a 5 percent tariff on all Mexican imports and US-China tensions continue to escalate. Without further ado, here’s a recap of our conversations. Made overseas Matthew Stuart Co-Founder What inspired you to start your own company? My co-founder Jimmy and I were both living in cities that required a certain level of mobility. I was in Hong Kong and he was in New York – and we were fed up with the bags we were carrying. The options at the time for quality men’s briefcases were either all leather, waxed canvas, or ballistic nylon. All of them were heavy and none were weatherproof. So as a passion project, we decided to make our own briefcase that mixed functionality (think umbrella holder) with a classic, effortless style. So you had this idea to make men’s bags. Then what happened? Jimmy worked on shapes and designs, and sketched things out. He’s very talented on the conceptual, drawing side, while I have a knack for knowing how to pull things together during the construction process. We made an all-star list of all the features we wanted in a bag, and began assessing how we could integrate them into a timeless, versatile design that truly transcends place and occasion. Shortly before we launched our first briefcase, we realized how much we enjoyed the process of building products, so we both left our jobs to pursue this full time. Walk us through your process of finding a factory. Where do you even begin? Honestly, this is where a lot of startups have the most difficulty. Finding a factory is easy, but finding the right factory is hard. We naturally looked to China, both because of our connections there and because it’s where the majority of bag production is done, everything from cheap mass-produced bags to those of the highest-quality construction. There’s a network of sourcing agents who act as middlemen to help you find factories and other resources. The first factory we used was sourced through one agent, but ultimately it was not a good fit. So we kept searching for the right partner, and eventually found the factory we work with today. They’ve become a true member of the team, not just a supplier. What sometimes gets lost in this debate is that only a handful of companies own the factories that make their products. Most do not, and instead work with the partners available to them. For a whole host of reasons, we wish there were options in the US, but there weren’t many to be found and those we were able to find didn’t align with our needs. There are a few factories in the garment districts of New York and Los Angeles for example, but they’re geared toward small batch production for sample-making or fashion shows. China, on the other hand, offers us a whole ecosystem of suppliers. It’s not just about finding one factory; it’s about the entire network that supports it. And our product category, that network unfortunately no longer exists in the US. Even after an extensive search, we couldn’t find a way to make it work here. In your experience, what were the tradeoffs going with a factory in the US vs. abroad? I have to travel to China every 5-6 weeks, so if we had production options locally that would definitely make things easier! Overseas production can also present problems around communication and lead times. But the system works and we’re able to deliver a competitive product at the highest possible quality, which we would not be able to do domestically because the skillset, technology, equipment and expertise no longer exists at scale in our product category. Are you affected by the recent tariffs? If the trade war continues indefinitely, how would that affect your company? We are. In the short-term, we have to eat the additional costs, but if the trade war goes on, we may have to think about other options. The manufacturing community in China is worried; there’s chatter among companies about moving production to Vietnam or Thailand or other developing countries. To my knowledge, no one is onshoring back to the US. These tariffs also impact us and other smaller brands by thwarting our ability to grow and compete with larger companies. While a small brand may produce a similar product at the same factory with the same materials as a larger competitor, it often pays that factory a much higher price per unit because their volume is smaller. When the finished goods are imported, they’re declared at that higher price, and since tariffs are a percent of price, we end up paying much higher tariffs than larger competitors. Using real numbers, tariffs are 17 percent for bags such as ours. Let’s assume a smaller brand might pay its factory $100 per bag, while a larger brand can pay $30 for essentially the same product. In this case, the small brand pays $17 and the larger brand pays $5 in tariffs for each piece they import. That’s already a significant spread, and that’s before we add the additional 25 percent tariff. Including this, a smaller brand would pay a total of $42, whereas the larger brand would pay a total of $12 in tariffs — thus widening the gap dramatically. Maybe this is just the nature of the beast, but the impact of tariffs on small businesses is exponentially larger for this reason and acts as a major headwind for our business moving forward. Made in USA Line* Mac Bishop, Founder *Note: Wool & Prince’s main line is made globally. The following perspective is focused on their experience with their Made in USA line. What inspired you to start your own company? I had just graduated from college and was working at Unilever. Everyone in the office wore the traditional Brooks Brothers or J. Crew shirts. But you can only wear those once or twice before they have to be washed. Being a cheap recent college grad, I was looking to get around the dry cleaning bills, so I started wearing a vintage wool shirt to the office. My family owns a woolen mill, so I’ve known the benefits of wool for a long time – like the fact that it’s wrinkle and odor resistant. It then occurred to me that there must be others like me who are looking for an alternative to the traditional cotton button-down, so I decided to leave Unilever and take a crack at modernizing the wool shirt for the workplace. So you had this idea to make wool shirts. Then what happened? I talked with a buddy of mine from Portland, Oregon, who does graphic design and branding. We worked together on the name, color scheme, and logo. I had another friend who does apparel design and sourcing, and she came up with the initial patterns. Five months after leaving Unilever, I launched a Kickstarter campaign with a video of myself wearing the same shirt for 100 days without washing it, and it went absolutely viral. We sold 3,000 shirts in 10 days. It was the golden era of Kickstarter. Jay Leno and David Letterman had a couple of jokes about us. We were featured on the Today Show, CNN, and the Huffington Post. Walk us through your process of finding a factory. Where do you even begin? When you’re pretty small like we were, it’s advantageous to go with a factory you trust. So we started with who we knew from my family’s wool business. We have two supply chains: one for our globally sourced products which is our main line, and one for our Made in USA line. The Made in USA line is a passion project of mine, with a smaller selection compared to the main line. My goal was to make a wool shirt that was 100% sourced domestically. That meant: Starting with the material, the sheep are all raised in the US The wool is sheared, cleaned, spun, and woven in the US All the raw materials are found in the US, down to the buttons and labels. (Buttons are super difficult to find in the US) I was lucky to be able to source the wool from my family’s business, but the rest was hard to piece together. It was a ton of Googling, sending cold emails, and getting on the phone to figure out where a supplier’s operations actually are. A lot of vendors say they’re ‘Made in the USA,’ but when you get into the details, you find that’s not actually the case. I would ask for photos of the manufacturing process and some vendors wouldn’t answer. As an aside, did you know that the military has policies about where they can source their clothing and materials? The military is a crucial customer and supporter of domestic. apparel manufacturing. In your experience, what were the tradeoffs going with a factory in the US vs. abroad? The profit margins are much smaller for our Made in USA line. The reality is that costs are simply higher in the US compared to overseas. But the hard work pays off in other ways – between Oregon, Washington, Texas, North Carolina, and Florida – we can trace all of the materials and hard work that go into making these shirts. I encourage local supply chains as much as possible. It cuts down on the carbon footprint. It means less money spent on transportation. There’s also something to be said for knowing where the things you own come from. I think people have a greater appreciation for something if it’s made locally, since they feel a connection to it. I do think the business case is there, but only if we can scale it up. For now, we’ll continue our small collection and look for ways to create efficiencies. Are you affected by the recent tariffs? If the trade war continues indefinitely, how would that affect your company? We are. I love our Made in USA line, but the reality is that most of our product is sourced from Asia, with about half coming from South Korea and the other half coming from China. With shirts coming from China, we already pay a 17 percent tariff, so if something costs $100, we pay a total of $117. With the additional tariffs, it’ll come out to about $142 total for $100 worth of goods. In the immediate term, we’ll try to negotiate with the factories. They’re of course watching the trade negotiations closely, and doing their best to make things work. If the tariffs continue indefinitely, we’re discussing several other options, including trimming our product lines, raising prices, and finding a factory in Vietnam or elsewhere. Thanks so much for reading this special edition. If you know of any retail companies whose supply chain is operating at scale in the US, give us a shout — we’d love to talk to them!

Monday, June 3, 2019 Possible Tariffs on Mexican Goods Last week, President Trump announced that “he will apply tariffs of 5% on all Mexican goods on June 10, and increase the rate in coming months to 25% if Mexico does not substantially halt illegal immigration across the U.S.-Mexican border, which is at a decade high this year.” Reuters “Mexican Economy Minister Graciela Marquez said on Sunday she would meet with U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in Washington on Monday, as the two governments begin holding talks to resolve the issue… Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador hinted on Saturday that his government could agree to tighten migration controls to defuse Trump’s threat, and said he expected ‘good results’ from the talks in Washington.” Reuters From the Left The left is critical of the policy, arguing that tariffs can’t solve the immigration crisis, and that this latest surprise undermines our negotiating power in the global economy. “It’s worth emphasizing at the outset that it’s an open question as to whether these tariffs will actually be imposed. Trump says they will be, but Trump says a lot of things, only some of which reflect reality in a meaningful way… Complicating matters, it’s an open question as to whether the president even has the legal authority to impose these tariffs… [But let’s] say they’re legal. Will they have the desired effect? Almost certainly not… “Part of the problem is that no one has any idea what the metrics for success might be. In Trump’s tweets, he said he intends to undermine trade between the United States and one of our largest trading partners ‘until the Illegal Immigration problem is remedied.’ But in practical terms, what exactly does that mean? How do officials intend to define ‘remedied’?… For that matter, how does Team Trump intend to define ‘illegal’? U.S. law has an asylum process, which some seeking entry into the country can legally make use of. How is Mexico supposed to ‘stop’… asylum seekers altogether? No one has any idea and the White House has made no effort to explain.” Steve Benen, MSNBC “It’s hard to see what more Mexico could do to appease the Trump administration. In the first three months of this year alone, Mexico arrested 31,000 and deported another 22,000. The country’s dealing with a lot of internal corruption that makes enforcement even harder… a lot of the immigration Trump wants stopped isn’t coming from Mexico, but through Mexico: Central American refugees fleeing economic crises, political upheaval, and especially drug cartel violence that the Mexican government can’t do anything about… “And if Trump’s new tariffs do succeed in inflicting significant economic pain on Mexican businesses, who will bear the brunt of that? Mexico is not exactly known as a labor-friendly place. Many of those newly unemployed workers will likely make their way north, making the job Trump wants to foist on Mexican authorities even harder.” Jeff Spross, The Week “Mr. Trump might succeed in pressuring Mexico to take stronger steps on immigration. Tariffs, however, are a very crude tool… Mr. Trump persists in the falsehood that tariffs are paid by America’s trading partners. The truth is that Mexico would no more pay this tariff than it is paying for the construction of a border wall. The evidence is clear: Mr. Trump’s tariffs are taxes being paid by Americans.” Editorial Board, New York Times “Trump’s use of tariffs as a pressure tactic isn’t exactly shocking. But that he chose to take this step while trying to get the USMCA passed is somewhat strange… The administration has insisted that the two issues are unrelated. Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said on a call Thursday that ‘these are not tariffs as part of a trade dispute, these are tariffs as part of an immigration matter, the USMCA is entirely separate.’ But eliminating tariffs and other trade barriers is supposed to be one of the perks of trade agreements, and if Trump keeps going around that by invoking national security concerns, the US becomes a far less attractive trading partner to Mexico, Canada, and just about everyone else.” Jen Kirby, Vox “If you are working in a trade ministry in Brussels, Tokyo or Ottawa, how much confidence would you have that any deal you strike with American negotiators will have staying power?… Even if the new tariff is canceled before it is scheduled to begin, the action sends a signal that any cross-border supply chain — for decades a crucial strategy for large multinational firms and quite a few smaller ones — is inherently risky.” Neil Irwin, New York Times “A tax increase imposed by sudden executive fiat, in pursuit of an irrational conflict with a neighbor and close ally, counterproductive for the White House’s own declared priorities — this epitomizes the kind of erratic presidential rule the Constitution intended to prevent. We are experiencing the downside of past legislation delegating ‘emergency’ international economic power to the executive branch; Congress must, on a bipartisan basis, take it back.” Editorial Board, Washington Post From the Right The right is divided, with many arguing that this is an ineffective way to tackle illegal immigration, while some defend it as a strategy worth pursuing. Critics posit that “Mr. Trump is blaming Mexico for a mess it can’t solve. The real cause of the recent border chaos is the lure of U.S. asylum policy… Mr. Trump is right that Democrats refuse to help, but then why change the subject to Mexico? Our southern neighbor is already helping by agreeing to hold asylum seekers inside Mexico. Perhaps it could better control its border with Guatemala, but the caravans north are often led by gangs that know how to bribe or avoid police. Blaming Mexico is a distraction that lets Democrats off the hook.” Editorial Board, Wall Street Journal “I generally support Trump’s goals of controlling our borders, reducing illegal immigration and resetting U.S. trade deals with other countries so that U.S… The trouble with Trump is that he’s pursuing all of them simultaneously with no apparent strategy other than to cause another country pain and force it to negotiate. That strategy is likelier to succeed if he were to pick off one country or issue at a time, focus on that and have allies to back him up… “If winning the battle with China is a top goal, then other battles with players who can help the United States [should] be put aside. That means dropping current trade fights with Japan and the E.U. to enlist their aid in the standoff with China. It also means not picking a new fight with a potential ally as crucial as Mexico when the USMCA is not yet in force… Without Mexican cooperation on China, Beijing could agree to a trade deal with the United States and then circumvent that by signing a separate deal with Mexico… the administration seems incapable of understanding Strategy 101.” Henry Olsen, Washington Post “Ever since Trump’s new trade war with China, he has had to spend more money bailing out angry farmers hurt by his tariffs than he has taken in revenue from the tariffs themselves. So no, tariffs haven’t worked in fixing problems directly related to trade. But then why does Trump think they will be more effective in solving problems unrelated to trade — specifically, the much thornier issue of immigration?” Editorial Staff, Washington Examiner “Mexico has played ball with Trump on immigration policy more than anyone would have expected at the outset of his presidency, but there are limits to the Mexican government’s effectiveness and its willingness to subordinate its interests to ours… If Trump’s tariff threat gets Mexico to sign such an agreement, we will be the first to congratulate him on his successful brinkmanship. But it is more likely that Mexico will make some assurances that will be enough to get Trump to relent, while not changing anything fundamental on immigration. The worst-case scenario is getting no action from Mexico whatsoever and the imposition of spiraling, disruptive tariffs, whose costs will in fact fall, to a great extent, on Americans.” The Editors, National Review Supporters of the policy, however, argue, “There are no easy solutions to the ongoing border security crisis, but placing a tariff on Mexican goods will at least force Mexico to take responsibility for its role in creating the problem. At times, the Mexican government has taken steps to prevent the flow of illegal immigrants to the U.S. by discouraging migrants from traveling north. Sadly, however, these efforts have been few and far between. A tariff on all imports from Mexico will give our southern neighbor a strong incentive to improve its behavior and start making sincere efforts to help Washington solve the illegal immigration crisis once and for all.” Steven Rogers, The Daily Caller “Such bold action against a key trade partner carries risks. But the far greater danger lies in tolerating an unmitigated flow of economic migrants… at a recent rate of over 100,000 per month… It is neither xenophobic nor small-minded for any country to determine the standards and processes to become a legal immigrant. Nor is it in any way compassionate to encourage or tolerate lawlessness along a porous border, which has led to horrific human exploitation, especially within Mexico… If Mexico desires real friendship with the United States, including the benefit of selling into the world’s greatest consumer market, then it must share in the burden of confronting this migrant calamity.” Steve Cortes, RealClearPolitics On the bright side… 8 kids won the 2019 Spelling Bee and people are absolutely baffled.

POLITICO PLAYBOOK
POLITICO Playbook: Trump lands in London — and blasts the city’s mayor
By JAKE SHERMAN, ANNA PALMER and DANIEL LIPPMAN
06/03/2019 05:47 AM EDT
DRIVING THE DAY
A THOUGHT BUBBLE … Sen. TED CRUZ (R-Texas) and Rep. ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ (D-N.Y.) had a moment on Twitter last week, in which they agreed to work together to craft a bill to ban former members of Congress from lobbying. It’s not a new idea — various members have proposed this over the years. But the pairing of Cruz and AOC was novel.
REALITY CHECK: Companies are not going to suddenly decide they don’t need former members of Congress to represent their interests in Washington. A ban could just push the entire industry into the shadows, and encourage former lawmakers to work as unregistered “consultants” who effectively perform the same duties as their card-carrying lobbyist competitors. (Many do this already.)
FEW IF ANY PEOPLE running for office get into public service with the express intent of wanting to schlep around the Capitol asking their former colleagues for favors or meetings when they are no longer serving in government. Talk to any former member, and they usually cringe at the awkwardness of it all. But, often, after a career in Washington it is the thing they are most qualified to do.
GREETINGS FROM THE GUEST … THE PRESIDENT landed in London just before 9 a.m. there — before 4 a.m. in D.C. He had this to say about Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, just before he landed:
— @realDonaldTrump at 3:51 am.: “.@SadiqKhan, who by all accounts has done a terrible job as Mayor of London, has been foolishly ‘nasty’ to the visiting President of the United States, by far the most important ally of the United Kingdom. He is a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in London, not me……”
… “….Kahn [sic] reminds me very much of our very dumb and incompetent Mayor of NYC, de Blasio, who has also done a terrible job — only half his height. In any event, I look forward to being a great friend to the United Kingdom, and am looking very much forward to my visit. Landing now!”
— GABBY ORR in London: “Ahead of Trump state visit, it’s déjà-U.K. all over again”
— DAILY TELEGRAPH: “Mr. Trump and his wife Melania landed in Essex just before 9 a.m. on Monday as it emerged he would no longer have a lengthy bilateral meeting with Theresa May.
“The U.S. President had been scheduled for a private sit down with Mrs. May but this has now been reportedly taken off the agenda. They will still conduct a joint press conference on Tuesday.” Daily Telegraph
WAPO’S KARLA ADAMS and GRIFF WITTE in London: “As Trump’s state visit looms, Britain seems a reluctant host”: “Britain is gearing up for this week’s state visit by President Trump as only Britain can do. There will be an official greeting ceremony at Buckingham Palace, a lavish banquet with the queen’s best china, a gun salute fired from Green Park and the Tower of London.
“It will all be suitably over-the-top. But there is also a sense that British officials are slightly less than enthusiastic about this particular round of state visit grandeur.
“Some of the traditional trappings — such as staying over at Buckingham Palace, a royal welcome at the Horse Guards Parade and a gold carriage procession down the Mall — are notably absent.” WaPo

JONATHAN SWAN STRIKES … FIRST EPISODE OF AXIOS’ HBO SHOW’S NEW SEASON: “Exclusive: Jared Kushner on MBS, refugees, racism and Trump’s legacy”: “Kushner passionately defended Trump against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s charge that the president is a racist. I asked him whether Birtherism is racist. He wouldn’t answer the question — saying repeatedly that he wasn’t involved in Birtherism and that he knows who the president is. He also ducked whether Trump campaigning on a Muslim ban was an example of religious bigotry.” Swan asking Kushner about whether the president is a racist
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION — “A ‘Bridge’ to China, and Her Family’s Business, in the Trump Cabinet,” by NYT’s Michael Forsythe, Eric Lipton, Keith Bradsher and Sui-Lee Wee: “The email arrived in Washington before dawn. An official at the American Embassy in Beijing was urgently seeking advice from the State Department about an ‘ethics question.’ ‘I am writing you because Mission China is in the midst of preparing for a visit from Department of Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao,’ the official wrote in October 2017.
“Ms. Chao’s office had made a series of unorthodox requests related to her first scheduled visit to China as a Trump cabinet member, according to people with knowledge of the email. Among them: asking federal officials to help coordinate travel arrangements for at least one family member and include relatives in meetings with government officials.
“In China, the Chaos are no ordinary family. They run an American shipping company with deep ties to the economic and political elite in China, where most of the company’s business is centered. The trip was abruptly canceled by Ms. Chao after the ethics question was referred to officials in the State and Transportation Departments and, separately, after The New York Times and others made inquiries about her itinerary and companions.” NYT

POMPEO VS. JARED … WAPO’S JOHN HUDSON and LOVEDAY MORRIS: “Pompeo delivers unfiltered view of Trump’s Middle East peace plan in off-the-record meeting”: “Secretary of State Mike Pompeo delivered a sobering assessment of the prospects of the Trump administration’s long-awaited Middle East peace plan in a closed-door meeting with Jewish leaders, saying ‘one might argue’ that the plan is ‘unexecutable’ and it might not ‘gain traction.’
“He expressed his hope that the deal isn’t simply dismissed out of hand. ‘It may be rejected. Could be in the end, folks will say, “It’s not particularly original, it doesn’t particularly work for me,” that is, “It’s got two good things and nine bad things, I’m out,”’ Pompeo said in an audio recording of the private meeting obtained by The Washington Post.” WaPo
TALKING TO IRAN … WHAT DOES ‘NO PRECONDITIONS’ MEAN? — “We are prepared to engage in a conversation with no preconditions, we are ready to sit down,” Mike Pompeo said of Iran on Sunday. But it’s not clear what exactly the secretary of State means by that. Some analysts noted that Pompeo quickly added that the U.S. expects Iran to behave like a “normal nation,” suggesting the 12 conditions he laid out in the past still apply. More from Nahal Toosi … NYT’s Ed Wong in Switzerland
COMING ATTRACTION? — “Dems hope Pelosi’s resistance to impeachment will crack in June,” by Kyle Cheney and Andrew Desiderio: “For the House’s growing impeachment caucus, June is shaping up to be the most critical month to make their case to a reluctant Speaker Nancy Pelosi. A month packed with subpoena fights, hearings on obstruction of justice and legal battles over Trump’s financial records is certain to provide fresh ammunition to grow the pro-impeachment ranks.
“‘The temperature’s rising, the plot is thickening. It’s hard for me to imagine Congress certainly leaving for the August recess without some closure on this,’ said Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.), who supports impeachment. ‘The Hamlet act is, I think, wearing thin, and it’s becoming untenable and intellectually strange.’ But Democrats eager to launch impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump fear they’re running out of time to persuade Pelosi to change course before presidential politics consumes Washington.” POLITICO

2020 WATCH … THE STEP BACK — DAVID SIDERS in San Francisco: “It’s 2 primaries now: Biden and everyone else”: “With the introductory stage of the Democratic presidential primary now over, the lines of engagement are beginning to take shape. And what is emerging is a primary that is no longer one nominating contest, but two. The first, occurring wherever Joe Biden materializes, is the front-runner’s campaign against himself — his history of failed presidential elections, his propensity for gaffes, his need to adhere to new ‘boundaries of protecting personal space.’
“The other includes everyone else. Nowhere were the two tracks of the primary more stark than over the weekend, when Biden positioned himself in Ohio, far from the horde of other Democratic contenders. While more than half the field jostled at the Californian Democratic Party convention here — the largest single state party gathering in the nation — the former vice president had the lectern to himself at a Human Rights Campaign dinner on Saturday, contrasting his candidacy not with any Democrat, but with the Republican president.
“His counter-programming appearance served the latest reminder that, with large leads in national and several early state polls, Biden is running a race in a vacuum, adhering to his own rules and schedule. The biggest threats to his campaign at the moment aren’t his rivals so much as his advanced age and ability to remain disciplined in an era where missteps are under heightened scrutiny.” POLITICO

— ELENA SCHNEIDER: “Gillibrand sticks it to Fox News in scrappy town hall”: “In an hour-long town hall in Dubuque, Iowa, she parried questions on President Donald Trump’s border wall, her conservative House record and the trade war with China. She even attacked the network itself for what Gillibrand called its spreading of a ‘false narrative’ on abortion rights.
“But Gillibrand’s biggest moment — and a potential viral clip — came during an exchange with Fox News’ host Chris Wallace, who asked Gillibrand to explain her tweet from December 2018, when she said the future was ‘female’ and ‘intersectional.’ ‘We want women to have a seat at the table,’ Gillibrand said. At that, Wallace jumped in and asked: ‘What about men?’
“‘They’re already there — do you not know?’ Gillibrand said, greeted by one of the biggest rounds of applause of the night. ‘It’s not meant to be exclusionary, it’s meant to be inclusionary,’ she said. ‘All right, we’re not threatened,’ Wallace responded.” POLITICO

BEYOND THE BELTWAY — “In the Kentucky Governor’s Race, It’s an Unpopular Man vs. an Unpopular Party,” by NYT’s Campbell Robertson in Pikeville, Ky.: “Under normal circumstances, the Kentucky governor’s race would be all but over except for the concession phone call. The incumbent running for re-election this year is a conservative Republican in a state that has recently become as red as hot coal, where unemployment is as low as it has been in nearly two decades and most of the voters are still crazy about the governor’s ally, President Trump.
“But. ‘This is not a normal governor’s race,’ said Paul Patton, a former Democratic governor, sitting in his memento-filled office at the University of Pikeville. ‘We’ve got an abnormal governor.’” NYT

THE NEW YORKER’S JON LEE ANDERSON: “Venezuela’s Two Presidents Collide: Juan Guaidó’s uprising, backed by the U.S., failed to depose Nicolás Maduro—but his supporters remain loyal. Will the country’s divisions lead to an international crisis?”: “There are a few rules for how to topple a government. Make sure that you have the military on your side, or at least enough of it to dissuade unsympathetic soldiers from intervening. Spread money around, to inspire loyalty. Determine which part of the populace will join your uprising, which part will resist, and which part will stand aside and watch.
“Neutralize the resistance quickly; take over the media so that you can disseminate orders. Once the ruler is displaced, kill him or hustle him out of the country as fast as you can. When Juan Guaidó, the leader of Venezuela’s uprising, announced the ‘final phase of Operation Freedom,’ on April 30th, he seemed to have done none of those things.” The New Yorker
TRUMP INC. — NYT A1: “‘Everything Is Stalling’: Inside a Troubled Trump Project in Uruguay,” by Jesse Drucker and Manuela Andreoni in Punta Del Este, Uruguay: “President Trump’s company had high hopes for a Uruguayan condominium development.

THE DAILY SIGNAL

Jun 03, 2019
Good morning from Washington, where The Daily Signal is grateful that
we’re about to mark our fifth anniversary of covering and commenting on
public policy that makes a difference in Americans’ lives. Our
editor-in-chief, Katrina Trinko, looks back—and ahead. In Laredo, Texas,
Fred Lucas finds a border barrier that works. (It’s not what you
think.) Josh Nelson talks with the artist behind a mural depicting an
inspirational abolitionist. Plus: Bill Walton on standing up to China,
David Harsanyi on climate alarmists, and John Stossel on the “unsafe”
epidemic.
Commentary Five Years In, What The Daily Signal Has Achieved Five
years ago today, we launched The Daily Signal because we believed there
were too many stories of how policies affected Americans never being
told by the mainstream media. More News There Is No Evidence Weather Is Increasingly Threatening to Human Lives Last
year saw below the 30-year average in deaths not only by tornadoes and
hurricanes, but also from heat, flooding and lighting. More News What 1 Community College By the Border Did to Stay Safe “This
little fence that seems like it’s small—before that, you would actually
see illegal immigrants and drug mules running through the school
campus,” says Border Patrol’s Narcizo Ramos. More Analysis Podcast: Training the Next Generation of Solutionists We
talk to C.J. Sailor, director of programs and development for The
Gloucester Institute. He’s helping to train the next generation of
leaders to be solutionists in their own communities More Special Feature Harriet Tubman Mural Stops Onlookers in Their Tracks “I
wanted to capture that moment, that moment when Harriet Tubman reaches
out to the enslaved person and offers that hand and says, ‘Let’s go.
Take my hand,’” says the mural’s artist. More Commentary China Continues to Violate Human Rights Americans’ theory that more trade with China would open up the country to more democracy has been proven wrong. More Commentary The Weaponization of Feeling ‘Unsafe’ People
call themselves “victims,” knowing they can get results they want by
saying they are traumatized by the presence of their enemies. More Commentary We Hear You: Preserving Freedom and Other Pressing Concerns “Thank
you for Kelsey Bolar’s video report on the transgender high school
runners. I am a gay male and I do realize that I’m not transgender, but
it severely bothered me that Connecticut is actually allowing this to
happen,” writes John Gullotti. More

Good morning, Here is all the news conservatives need to know to start their day. At 4pm ET, you can catch me on radio to bring you up to speed on developments throughout the day. You can listen live here. Are We Allowed to Warn Without Punishment? The GOP won in 2016 because Hillary Clinton was on the ballot for the Democrats. She was well known and deeply hated and ran a terrible campaign. If Joe Biden is the Democrat candidate this time, Team Trump won’t be able to define Biden because Biden is well known, not hated, and won’t make Clinton’s mistakes. You can talk up the economy all you want and think that’ll be a shield, but the Dow has not been doing well these past six weeks and tariffs with Mexico and China risk disrupting a very good Trump credited economy. Just as he has taken credit for the good turn, he will be blamed for the bad. The post Are We Allowed to Warn Without Punishment? appeared first on The Resurgent.

Trump: Mexico ‘Abuser’ of U.S. Last week the president announced a proposal that would put a 5% tariff on goods coming in from Mexico. On Sunday he tweeted, “The problem is that Mexico is an ‘abuser’ of the United States, taking but never giving. It has been this way for decades. Either they stop the invasion of our Country by Drug Dealers, Cartels, Human Traffickers, Coyotes and Illegal Immigrants, which they can do very easily, or our many companies and jobs that have been foolishly allowed to move South of the Border, will be brought back into the United States through taxation (Tariffs).” The tariffs will go into effect on June 10 and increase over time. From Fox News: “Fox News has learned that the tariffs, on all goods by land, sea, and air from Mexico, will hike up to 10 percent on July 1, 15 percent on August 1, 20 percent on September 1, and to 25 percent by October 1. Tariffs will permanently remain at the 25 percent level unless and until Mexico substantially stops the illegal flow of aliens coming through its territory,” the White House said in a statement this week. But upon the announcement of the new tariffs, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador dispatched his foreign relations secretary to Washington on Friday, as the country scrambled to negotiate a solution with the U.S. Over the weekend, though, Obrador said he expects “good results” from the upcoming talks in Washington and reportedly suggested he is open to reinforcing efforts to stem illegal immigration. Obrador said that Mexican officials plan to convey to the Trump administration what they have been doing to stop illegal immigration, and added that they are open to additional measures “without violating human rights.” Meme At Your Own Risk The Daily Beast is totally stoked about their scoop… hunting down a private citizen who put a funny video on the internet and then posting his name, photo, and where he lives. From The Federalist: “In his article, [The Daily Beast’s Kevin] Poulsen made it seem as if he was looking for the “Russian troll” behind the video, but instead of finding Boris or Svetlana, he found a 34-year old African American man who works as a day laborer and lives in The Bronx, New York. The article identifies him by name, combs through his Instagram posts, and provides various other personal details, including his prior criminal history and that there is an active warrant for his arrest in California for not complying with the terms of his probation. What am I missing? The guy posted a silly video to make a politician look drunk. The Daily Beast thought the appropriate response was to contact Facebook to find out who was responsible, dig into his background and tell the world about him being on probation for a domestic battery dispute and that there is a warrant for his arrest in California? That’s not journalism, and it sure as hell is not newsworthy. It’s exposing someone because you don’t like that he made fun of someone on your side. This was a hit piece, plain and simple.” June Lifestyle Favorites! Always my favorite monthly column to write.

What’s your morning routine?
I’m an early riser because I run multiple businesses. I get up at 4:30am
every morning. I head downstairs to my office and start doing some
writing, whether for a magazine or an online article. I work at my desk
until 6:30am, and then workout for an hour. Then I shower and get back
to my office, and I shutdown at 5pm each day.
What book, movie or TV show did you last recommend to a friend?
I just started watching a TV show that a buddy of mine recommended called Stranger Things.
I know that it’s been out for a while, but I don’t watch much TV. I
like it though because it uses good ole’ fashion horror and doesn’t rely
on a ton of blood and guts and special effects. So, I just recommended
this to another friend of mine.
What’s the last picture you took on your phone?
Interestingly enough, I hardly take any pictures on my phone. My wife is
usually snapping 8,000 pictures. But, the last picture I took is
actually a very cool one. I live in a small town in Utah where the rodeo
is a big deal. During one of the nights of the rodeo, they do something
called, “Mutton Bustin” where kids climb on the back of a sheep and see
how long they can hold on. As someone who grew up just outside of the
Washington, DC area, we never had things like this, so I think it’s
great. The picture I took is my 5-year-old daughter about to leave the
gate. (My 4-year-old son wimped out.)
What’s a spy skill everyone should be putting into practice every day? Observing everything around you. Most people are walking zombies whose eyes are glued to their phones. If you keep your head up and observe the people and things going on around you, you’ll learn a lot. For instance, I was just in the airport and when I walk around, I try to describe the people I see such as, “white male, 6 feet, black shirt, green pants, long strides.” It keeps your brain fresh. What career advice do you most often share? Everyone always asks me how they can get a job with the CIA. I tell them the “secret” is actually getting your Top Secret security clearance anyway you can. So, get a job with any Federal Agency that’ll give you a TS clearance and then try and do a lateral transfer to the CIA. Of course, I also say not to do drugs, don’t be an alcoholic and don’t get into debt if you want to work for the CIA. |

The President and First Lady’s trip to Japan gave us a ton of memorable looks. From John Binder’s Fashion Notes: “First Lady Melania Trump set Tokyo, Japan, ablaze, stylistically of course, in her final day in the island country wearing vibrant orange and yellow hues. Mrs. Trump was electric in a bright orange printed Dries Van Noten coat that she belted with a giant white patent leather belt over a beige shift dress. The statement coat was paired with Christian Louboutin yellow patent leather pumps which retail for about $600. Whether visiting American troops stationed in Japan or boarding Air Force One, Mrs. Trump’s Louboutin stilettos took center stage contrasted against her sunkissed complexion.” |
I loved seeing the President match his tie to Melania’s outfit!
It’s hard to find a match for this beautiful coat, but here are some similar looks: Orange and white floral print maxi dress, $42 (Forever 21) Floral tie-front dress, $52.99 (Macy’s) Calvin Klein Pointy Toe Pump in Lemon Leather, $65.37 (Nordstrom) Tatiana Pointy Toe Pumps in Yellow Leather or Patent, (Nine West) Pointed Toe Ballet Flats in Yellow (Amazon) Mondays with Melania is a weekly feature that highlights what the First Lady is doing and wearing.

Good morning,If the 2020 election for President were held today, Joe Biden would have a 43% to 36% advantage over Donald Trump. Five percent (5%) would choose a third option, 5% would not vote, and 11% are not sure what they would do.The
president is tied with Bernie Sanders at 38%. He has a slight advantage
over Kamala Harris (38% to 33%) and Elizabeth Warren (40% to 33%).Biden’s
numbers are better than the other hopefuls primarily because only 4% of
Democrats would vote for a third option if Biden is
the nominee. That number jumps to 14% for Warren, 15% for Sanders, and
15% for Harris. A similar pattern is seen among Independent voters.If
any of the other leading Democrats were to win the nomination,
Democratic voters would likely become more supportive and their poll
numbers against the president would improve.Biden is viewed favorably by 50% of voters and unfavorably by 35%. Among Democrats, Biden is viewed favorably by 75% and unfavorably by 14%.Sanders is viewed favorably by 41% of all voters and unfavorably by 44%. Warren gets positive reviews
from 34% and negative assessments from 37%. Harris gets good marks from 33% and not so good marks from 29%.Among
Democrats, Sanders is viewed favorably by 67% and unfavorably by 21%.
The numbers for Warren are 57% positive 16% negative. For Harris they
are 54%/9%.Biden is the only one of these candidates with net positive numbers among Independent voters.A poll conducted last Thursday and Friday found that 44% of voters nationwide believe President Trump should be impeached and removed from office. Forty-three percent (43%) disagree while 12% are
undecided.That’s a
slight uptick in support for impeachment following Special Counsel
Mueller’s public statements last week. Prior to that just 41% favored
impeachment and 45% were opposed. This might be the start of a new
trend or merely statistical noise. We will have updated data to report
for tomorrow’s Morning Update.Finally, today’s Number of the Day looks
at one of the great challenges for any healthy political system:
balancing the rights of individuals against the desires of the
majority. Seventy-two percent (72%) of voters nationwide believe it is
more important to respect
the individual rights and freedoms of all Americans than for the
government to do what a majority of voters support. Thank you for your interest in our work,Scott

William Jacobson: “WHAT’S IN A NAME? Should Trump stop calling Elizabeth Warren “Pocahontas” and start calling her “Rachel Dolezal”?”
Kemberlee Kaye: “Back in the land of civilization and regular cell phone service. It’s highly overrated.”
Mary Chastain: “Mueller spoke. Basically told people to leave him alone and read the report.”
Leslie Eastman: “I

David Gerstman: “A few weeks ago Germany’s Bundestag passed a
resolution declaring that the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions
campaign against Israel is anti-Semitic. In reporting this important
development, The New York Times presented the
resolution as something sinister, noting “Some 60 academics signed an
open letter, saying the motion formed part of a worrying trend of
‘labeling supporters of Palestinian human rights as anti-Semitic.’” Of
course, BDS has nothing to do with Palestinian rights and everything to
do with negating Jewish rights. Further evidence of the campaign’s intent was recently published by
the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs in the form of a book
documenting the terror ties between the supposedly peaceable BDS
campaign and anti-Israel terror groups. These ties have been known for a
while, as Israel’s Strategic Affairs ministry published evidence of these ties back in February.”
Vijeta Uniyal: “Facebook and Twitter are taking down thousands of fake accounts
after a California-based cybersecurity company exposed an elaborate
online network being operated from Iran. Some of these accounts were
impersonating GOP congressional candidates, the firm disclosed. The
people behind these fake accounts were trying to influence U.S. media
coverage and policy making.”

MEET THE PRESS
From NBC’s Chuck Todd, Mark Murray and Carrie Dann
FIRST READ: Trump tests the “special relationship” ahead of state visit
“Nasty” might be the perfect word to describe President Trump’s arrival in London for his state visit to the United Kingdom.
After calling Meghan Markle, the duchess of Sussex, “nasty” (yes, there’s a recording), the president also lobbed the word at London’s mayor – right before he touched down in Britain.
And he followed up by singling out Khan’s stature.
Days earlier, Khan argued that Britain shouldn’t be rolling out the red carpet for Trump, writing that the president’s “divisive behaviour flies in the face of the ideals America was founded upon – equality, liberty and religious freedom.”
After arriving in London, Trump also attacked CNN and new parent company AT&T – obviously after watching some cable TV.
Afterward, Trump met with the Royal Family at Buckingham Palace.
And later today, Trump tours Westminster Abbey, has tea with Prince Charles and participates in a state banquet with the queen.

TWEET OF THE DAY: Up is down
Mulvaney admits Russia interfered in ’16 election
On “Meet the Press” yesterday, acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney admitted that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.
“The answer to the short question is, yes. Russia did attempt to interfere in our election. There’s no question. Let’s not lose sight of the fact that it was the previous administration that let that happen,” he said.
But let’s also don’t lose sight of the fact that Team Trump WELCOMED that Russian interference, and that it never picked up the phone to notify the FBI about Russia’ outreach.
- Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer on June 9, 2016 after Donald Trump Jr was told that the Russian government had dirt on Hillary Clinton.
- Trump himself asked Russia for assistance in the 2016 election: “If you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.”
- A Trump campaign associate – presumably Roger Stone – communicated with Russian intelligence.
- Stone appeared to have advance notice of the WikiLeaks releases of John Podesta’s emails before they first came out on Oct. 7, 2016: “It will soon [be] the Podesta’s time in the barrel.”
- And Trump eagerly campaigned on the WikiLeaks disclosures of Podesta’s emails, mentioning the word “WikiLeaks” some 140 times in the final month of the race.
Don’t forget what the Mueller report said: “[T]he investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts.”
2020 VISION: Golden State of Mind
Nearly the entire Democratic field was in California over the weekend – with one big exception.
Bernie Sanders took aim at Joe Biden’s absence, per NBC’s Gary Grumbach, Deepa Shivaram and Ben Pu.
“As you all know, there is a debate among presidential candidates who have spoken to you here in this room and those of who have chosen for whatever reason not to be in this room,” Sanders said.
Julian Castro, meanwhile, received his loudest applause during his criminal justice reform pitch.
And John Delaney got booed for two-straight minutes after he said “‘Medicare for All’ may sound good, but it’s not good policy.”
Oh, and a man interrupted Kamala Harris’ speech and grabbed her microphone before being escorted out.

On the campaign trail today: Pete Buttigieg, in Fresno, Calif., holds a town hall with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews at 7:00 pm ET… And Jay Inslee stumps in Iowa, hitting Des Moines, Ankeny and Urbandale…
DATA DOWNLOAD: And the number of the day is … two out of three.
Two out of three.
That’s the number of Democratic gubernatorial candidates this cycle who back tough abortion restrictions — at odds with the rest of the party.
In this off-year, gubernatorial races will be held in Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi.
In Louisiana, incumbent Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards just signed one of the strictest anti-abortion bills in the country.
And in Mississippi, expected Democratic nominee Attorney General Jim Hood is defending that state’s new anti-abortion law in court.

| Tim Pool, the bubonic plague, and how California proves Democrats can’t govern Posted: 02 Jun 2019 07:11 PM PDT California is a Democratic paradise. They have supermajorities in the legislation, a far-left governor, and radical progressives in the mayors’ offices of nearly every major and mid-sized city.

06/03/2019 Share: Carl Cannon’s Morning Note Fake Hate; Loan Sharks; When Groucho Met T.S. By Carl M. Cannon on Jun 03, 2019 08:47 am Good morning, it’s Monday, June 3, 2019. On this date in 1964, Groucho Marx received a note confirming the invitation of “you and Mrs. Groucho” to dinner at an esteemed London address. A car would pick them up at the Savoy Hotel and bring them to dinner. The host — and the writer of the memo about logistics — was T.S. Eliot, who added a grace note intended to be both funny and self-deprecating: Word that Groucho Marx was coming “to London to see me has greatly enhanced my credit in the neighbourhood,” he wrote, “and particularly with the greengrocer across the street. Obviously I am now someone of importance.” The dinner that night would be the only pairing the two artists, which was predictable if one really knew Julius Henry Marx. “I get away with saying some pretty insulting things,” Groucho told one of his biographers. “People think I’m joking. I’m not.” The unlikely relationship between the British poet and the Hollywood comedian began in 1961 when Eliot had penned a fan letter to Marx requesting a photograph, and continued when Groucho obliged. Those early letters were humorous — and on their face touching — but things are not always what they seem with either poets or comedians. And moving beyond the pen pal stage proved problematic. I’ll have a more on this dinner party in a moment. First, I’d point you to RealClearPolitics’ front page, which presents our poll averages, videos, breaking news stories, and aggregated opinion columns spanning the political spectrum. We also offer original material from our own reporters and contributors, including the following: * * * AP Relies on SPLC to Spew BS About NW.

But Eliot was born to a socially prominent WASP family in St. Louis, a town Groucho Marx knew. The Jewish comedian also was aware that a strain of anti-Semitism ran through Eliot’s work. True to form, Groucho needled Eliot on both counts. First, a word about the anti-Semitism, a scourge that never seems to fully go away — even in modern U.S. politics. In 1934, a book of Eliot’s lectures was published called “After Strange Gods.” In it was this unapologetic passage: The population should be homogeneous; where two or more cultures exist in the same place they are likely either to be fiercely self-conscious or both to become adulterate. What is still more important is unity of religious background, and reasons of race and religion combine to make any large number of free-thinking Jews undesirable. Eliot was meeting Groucho Marx 30 years later, when so much had changed in the world. The Third Reich had risen and fallen and the Holocaust had shocked the world, with Israel forming in its aftermath. T.S. Eliot, like so many other intellectuals who casually said such things before the war, had come to regret them. In Groucho Marx, however, Eliot chose to correspondent with a man almost singularly unlikely to let him forget — or to ignore his Midwestern origins. “Dear Tom,” Marx wrote to the famous expatriate, “I think I read somewhere that your first name is the same as Tom Gibbons’, a prizefighter who once lived in St Paul.” Groucho also referred to Eliot as an “early American,” adding, “I don’t mean that you are an old piece of furniture, but you are a fugitive from St Louis.” Groucho’s letter continues in this vein for a while, ruminating that “the name Tom fits many things. There was once a famous Jewish actor named Thomashevsky. All male cats are named Tom — unless they have been fixed.” And when he first responds to Eliot’s invitation that they meet in London, Groucho invokes his own Jewishness by quipping that he might squeeze in a visit “on my way back from Israel.” Literary critic Lee Siegel, writing in 2011 about this exchange of letters, found them charming. He noted that Eliot was perfectly willing to play the straight man in the exchange of correspondence. “I envy you going to Israel,” Eliot replied to these humorous digs, “and I wish I could go there too if the winter climate is good, as I have a keen admiration for that country.” Other letters follow and the unlikely dinner date is set. It doesn’t go well, for reasons that are not completely understood — and may not have been fully understood by the participants themselves. Eliot, who died seven months later, never wrote about it. Groucho Marx did, in a letter to one of his brothers, although he only hints at the tensions of the evening. Although he reports that T.S. Eliot was “a dear man and a charming host” who poured the wine himself, Groucho never quite gets out of character, even when discussing it with his own sibling. Here is an excerpt from that letter Groucho Marx wrote to Gummo Marx: “Your correspondent arrived at the Eliots’ fully prepared for a literary evening. During the week I had read ‘Murder in the Cathedral’ twice, ‘The Waste Land’ three times, and just in case of a conversational bottleneck, I brushed up on ‘King Lear.’ “Well, sir, as the cocktails were served, there was a momentary lull — the kind that is more or less inevitable when strangers meet for the first time. So, apropos of practically nothing (and not with a bang but a whimper) I tossed in a quotation from ‘The Waste Land.’ That, I thought, will show him I’ve read a thing or two besides my press notices from Vaudeville. “Eliot smiled faintly — as though to say he was thoroughly familiar with his poems and didn’t need me to recite them. So I took a whack at ‘King Lear.’ … “That too failed to bowl over the poet. He seemed more interested in discussing ‘Animal Crackers’ and ‘A Night at the Opera.’ He quoted a joke — one of mine — that I had long since forgotten. Now it was my turn to smile faintly. … “We didn’t stay late, for we both felt that he wasn’t up to a long evening of conversation — especially mine. Did I tell you we called him Tom? — possibly because that’s his name. I, of course, asked him to call me Tom too, but only because I loathe the name Julius.” When he first wrote about these two famous frenemies in 2011, Lee Siegel decided that the cultural and artistic gap between the men was too much to bridge, and that the main problem was that the meeting was just an awkward dinner party, like a scene in a play co-written by Samuel Beckett and Neil Simon. Siegel later revised his view, however, writing that after rereading the letters several times, “I became aware of a simmering tension between the two men.” “It is curious that there was no thank-you note from Groucho to Eliot after the dinner,” Siegel concluded in 2014. “Then again, perhaps it is no surprise, if the dinner convinced each figure that his infatuated expectation that the other man was wholly different from his public persona had no basis in his actual personality. Both men, it turned out — Groucho the flagrant misanthrope and Eliot the restrained one — were those rare figures in whom public persona and private personality aligned.” Or, as Ted Mann wrote in The Atlantic, maybe it was a scene written by Samuel Beckett and Neil Simon, “but [it] could also be Larry David in a particularly punishing mood.” Carl M.
