Stocks don’t just keep hitting historic highs month after month..hmmm who knew.

It blows my mind that this is a tight race.

This guy does a much better job than Kristen Welker. He deserves the Sunday show.

[JohnOhkumaThiel]

The RFK Jr. story is too bizarre. There is something seriously wrong with that man.

[RobertEskew]

Yamiche, I find it *very difficult* to believe, as you assert, that Vice President is still considering up to a dozen V.P. candidates.
No other media outlet, including NBC News as reported in this morning's newsletter, is reporting that.
From all indications, the finalists are Govs. Josh Shapiro and Tim Walz.

Narcissists think they are perfect, thus they don't need God--- they are God.

When a Hurricane hits, the air pressure drops, that raises the "water table."
Most of Florida is less than 100ft above the normal "water table." The water has no where to drain to.

What would a Billionaire want for America? Better wages for you or them? Why would a lot of money not make them greedier???

[TammySmith-msgf]

We are definitely in the last days people..wars, and 'rumors' of wars

[cruzincondo]

Then there’s one about a retired gigolo politician who wants a Sunday talk show named….
‘Meat Depressed’

When the stocks drop below 15% it is time to buy some stocks.

[meilyn]

Interest rates shouldn't be reduced. Everything is still expensive. If I don't see houses going back to 2020 prices, then this is nothing.

[lisarozzz]

Why would Trump diss Kemp and his wife? Crazy

[terrystokes]

New fast food chicken sandwich....
The McDonald 😂

[TS-jjwi]

Stocks do well when you pump that basement printed money in them, over blown, build that bubble 😅😅😅😅 when it pops weeee wee 😂

[willzsportscards]

oh noooo! 1000 points! sensationalism at its finest. yawn.

[jascdp]

I hate when they report on record unemployment. Many people have to work 2-3 jobs just to afford a roof over their head. So of course the number is low!!! People can't afford to live! Ugh!!!

[johnkennedy]

Any of the V.P. picks are an excellent chose,

[hapwyatt]

The market fell in the U.S. because of Japan and the world economy. China is in really bad shape. The AI stocks were sold off because the technology is struggling. The Fed said he will probably cut rates in September.

White man for Harris checking in. <3
