Ground in gaza nor the latest in just a bit. But first, we want to start this hour with muchneeded good Economic News this week. On wednesday, the Commerce Department announced the u. S. Economy grew at a 4 rate in the spring. Thats a big turnaround from what had been a winter slump. On friday president obama touted the jobs numbers. Were now in a sixmonth streak with at least 200,000 new jobs each month. Thats the first time that has happened since 1997. Things are getting better. Our engines are revving a little bit louder.

Obama outlined the economic challenges the country still faces. Im glad gdp has grown. Im glad that corporate profits are high and the stock market is booming.

Details next in a report from a busy new york hub. And we begin with protests in california outside of both of Donald Trumps rallies, the first in fresno, then 350 miles to the south in san diego.

Despite the large number of latino protesters, trump again called for a border wall and even chanted along with supporters at a rally in san diego, just 20 mi
Establishment and yet today happened. In just a few hours, donald trump will walk into the lions den in detroit, where ted cruz, marco rubio, john kasich are likely champing at the bit to tear him apart in the debate. But do they have a tough act to follow. We saw something quite unprecedented today. The Republican Partys most recent president ial nominee unloaded on his own partys frontrunner for this years nomination. Ripping open the civil war of a trumps candidacy. And take a guess, do you think trump was ready to respond . Quite frankly, all hell broke loose today. Were just getting started. Right to what happened. Began when mitt romney, the partys 2012 nominee, delivered a scathing attack on the frontrunner, donald trump, today at university of of utah. Needless to say he pulled no punches.

It was the first time armies used poison gases for mass killings on the battlefield. The armenian civilian population was decimated in a genocide. P. O. W. Camps turned into basically starvation pens where thousands of people were tortured and died. It was hell on earth. It was hell. And everybody agreed that it had been hell. That it had been an unprecedented manmade hell on earth when it finally ended at the end of those four terrible years. But then 2
