The focus, were being told, is the shooting of blake and the ongoing unrest that has followed. And today, the First Court Hearing was held for an illinois teenager accused of killing two protesters in kenosha. Hes now being charged as an adult with homicide. Were going to have the latest on that case in just a few minutes as well. All of this unrest is the simmering undercurrent of the general election which begins frankly in earnest today. President trump, who will rally supporters in New Hampshire in a few hours, appears to have found the message he thinks will carry him to another four years.

Rocket and get rid of you for a while. Thank you very much. Good afternoon.

Sort of he seemed a bit, i get, jovial for him today as he gets ready to go to michigan. This is an uncomfortable time to be going there. They have this flood issue with the dams that broke on top of obviously the virus. And its been a politically, shall we say, polarizing time in michigan as well, and the president s visit may contribute to that. Yeah.

So you think about that. The oil at 10 million barrels. And you think about the manufacturing. All you used to hear is that were losing our manufacturing jobs. Jobs are being taken out of the country. Theyre coming back and theyre coming back fast. Projections for Capital Investment and wage growth have also set new alltime records.
