But what you've described is a future where any factory job that comes here is probably going to look a lot different, right?

Well, and how many, right?

I'm wondering, Keith, just to turn back to Trump's tariffs on China, if so far they haven't stopped the country from exporting so much stuff across the world, why is the Trump administration still trying to reinstate tariffs against China?

We've heard of these new investigations into unfair trade practices that supposedly will put the U.S.

on the path to slapping new tariffs on China.

Why do that?

If it doesn't actually seem that tariffs stood a chance...

Well, Keith, thanks so much for coming back on the show.

We'll be right back.

Here's what else you need to know today.

On Monday, President Trump said he was postponing strikes on Iran's power plants until at least Friday because the U.S.

and Iran were engaging in, quote, very good and productive conversations.

But Iran denied any direct talks with the U.S.

and cast the claim as a ploy by Trump to soothe markets and buy time for more military action.

Whatever the truth, the war continued to rage on multiple fronts.

The U.S.

and Israel said they'd carried out new waves of strikes on Iran, and Israel continued its offensive in Lebanon.

And the Senate voted Monday to confirm Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, a Trump ally, to run the Department of Homeland Security.

He'll be replacing Kristi Noem.

Two Democrats joined Republicans to confirm Mullen, who stressed his willingness to work with both parties.
