The Hive's hosts Jon Kelly and Kristen Scholer discuss the latest news in politics, business, and technology. From Hope Hicks' sudden departure from the White House to the Kardashian's impact on social media, we have you covered.
Vanity Fair's Tina Nguyen says that Hope Hicks has always had a special place in the White House, she just hadn't been pushed into the public eye. All that changed when her boyfriend, Rob Porter, was accused of assaulting his ex-wives. That, plus her testimony at a House intelligence briefing over "white lies" she's told seemed to put her over the edge and caused her to resign.
Plus, no one thought John Kelly could nuke out Jared Kushner...but he did! Kushner's security clearance has been downgraded this week and his future at the White House is uncertain.

American businesses that rely on Chinese goods are reacting with muted relief after the U.S. and China agreed to pause their exorbitant tariffs on each other’s products for 90 days. Many companies delayed or canceled orders after President Donald Trump last month put a 145% tariff on items made in China. Importers still face relatively high tariffs, however, as well as uncertainty over what will happen in the coming weeks and months. The temporary truce was announced as retailers and their suppliers are looking to finalize their plans and orders for the holiday shopping season. They’re concerned a mad scramble to get goods onto ships will lead to bottlenecks and increased shipping costs.
Shopping expert Trae Bodge discusses how talks between the U.S. and China is good news for now, but uncertainty remains for back-to-school and the holidays.
