an unannounced visit to afghanistan and announcement on troop withdrawal. two great whites threaten the coast of cape cod. now the hunt is on to find them before they claim a human life. good morning, everyone. i m randi kaye. it is 8:00 on the east coast. 5:00 a.m. out west. thanks for waking up with us. we start this morning with the economy and new jobs report. it wasn t quite what experts had hoped. just 80,000 jobs added in june. that fell below expectations and caused a ripple through the stock market. the dow down 124 points at the close. there was some good news. additions in manufacturing jobs was a highlight for the white house. 14,000 jobs were added in that sector. so how is this all playing on the campaign trail? we ll get into that at the bottom of the hour. there are a number of weather warnings across the country today. it s because it s going to be a scorcher for many of you. take a look at the map with me. if you live in these areas, and i m sure you pro
