As Gaza's humanitarian crisis deepens and ceasefire talks stall, French President Emmanuel Macron says his country will formally recognize a Palestinian state— becoming the first G7 nation to do so.

Consider This from NPR - How have RFK Jr.’s vaccine policies impacted America’s public health?
Before he entered politics, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made a career out of stoking doubt about vaccines, promoting theories contradicted by mountains of scientific evidence on common vaccines which have been studied for decades and safely administered to hundreds of millions of people.
Now, six months in as head of Health and Human Services, he has instituted a number of policy changes on access to vaccines for both children and adults.
NPR's Mary Louise Kelly and health correspondents Rob Stein and Pien Huang talk through how these changes could impact public health and the public's wallets.

The Gist - Phil Gramm Hearts Capitalism, From Dickens To The New Deal
Former Senator Phil Gramm joins to defend capitalism’s record, arguing that the Industrial Revolution improved lives, the New Deal prolonged the Depression, and modern welfare undermines work. He supports Keynesian stimulus in theory—but only if governments also run surpluses, which he says they never do. Plus, Gaza aid failures, Macron’s recognition of Palestine, and why peace requires clear-eyed power dynamics, not symbolic gestures. And in The Spiel: Benjamin Crump returns to the spotlight in a viral police beating case, and renewed concern over noose reports reveals our reflex to dramatize the ambiguous. Produced by Corey Wara

Native America Calling - Tuesday, July 29, 2025 – Reclaiming and growing Hawaiian kapa traditions
After a period of colonial suppression, traditional kapa making is enjoying a sustained resurgence. In recent decades, a growing number of Native Hawaiian artists have mastered the labor-intensive process of harvesting, scraping, and soaking the bark of the wauke plant and embellishing the resulting fabric with colorful traditional designs. A new generation of artists is benefiting from this reclaimed expertise.
This is an encore show so we won’t be taking listener phone calls
Dalani Tanahy (Native Hawaiian), Hawaiian kapa artist
Lehuauakea (Native Hawaiian), Hawaiian kapa artist
Roen Hufford (Native Hawaiian), Hawaiian kapa artist
Here’s an extended interview with 2023 National Heritage Fellow Roen Hufford (Native Hawaiian). She spoke with producer Sol Traverso about her favorite part of the kapa making process and being taught by her mother Marie Leilehua McDonald.

Planet Money - The President’s Golden Share in U.S. Steel
LIVE SHOW ALERT: August 18th, NYC. Get your tickets here.
When news broke that a Japanese company, Nippon Steel, was buying the storied American steel company U.S. Steel, it was still 2023, just before an election.
And right away, politicians from both sides of the aisle came out forcefully against the deal, saying the company should remain American. Before leaving office, President Biden even blocked the sale.
But in a dramatic twist a few weeks ago, President Trump approved it. With a caveat: the U.S. would get what Trump called 'a golden share' in U.S. Steel.
On our latest show: what even is a "golden share"? When has it been used before, and why? And, could deals like this be a good way to get foreign investment in American manufacturing...or is it government overreach?

- When Uncle Sam owned banks and factories
- How Big Steel in the U.S. fell
This episode was produced by Willa Rubin and edited by Marianne McCune. Research help from Emily Crawford and Emma Peaslee. It was fact-checked by Sierra Juarez and engineered by Robert Rodriguez. Alex Goldmark is our executive producer.

Marketplace All-in-One - AI and ‘surveillance’ pricing
Dynamic or 'surveillance' pricing is a relatively common practice. But what's changed is the sheer volume of our personal data available online, and how good AI has become at connecting the dots. With news that Delta Airlines plans to use AI to set up dynamic pricing for a large share of its flights, Marketplace's Kimberly Adams explores how widespread this practice already is in other industries. But first: social media buzz sent an eclectic mix of stocks, or 'meme stocks,' on a volatile ride this week. We look at why traders are making such risky bets. Plus, a snapshot of how things are looking for mortgage brokers and farmers right now.

Marketplace All-in-One - We have a trade deal with Japan, right?
Earlier this week, President Trump announced a “massive” trade deal with Japan. But as Japanese officials clarify some of the terms, it’s not clear how concrete the deal actually is. We’ll explain. Also, some wealthy Democrats who stand to benefit from Trump’s tax cuts are rallying against them. Plus, we’ll play a round of Half Full/Half Empty!
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- "Cracks widen in Japan and US’s interpretation of tariff trade deal" from The Financial Times
- "Trump’s Tariffs Are Being Picked Up by Corporate America" from The Wall Street Journal
- "Rich liberals do not want their big Trump tax cut" from The Washington Post
- "AI has come for the fragrance industry" from Marketplace
- "Want to pay down the national debt? The US government will take Venmo" from The Verge
- "Meme stocks have staged a surprising return" from Marketplace
- "Restaurants Are Trying to Tariff-Proof The Menu" from Eater
