Nice gain for the nasdaq though, all green at this point. Politics [laughter] can you say softballs . One after another, they were lobbed towards joe biden at the cnn town hall last night. Not very good preparation for the first president ial debate which is, by the way, 11 days away. The standout for me came when biden suggested that if the president had acted sooner on the virus, all those people would not have died. So the president killed 190,000 people .

Today biden goes to minnesota, an opportunity for him to clarify his position on urban rioting and defunding the police after the minneapolis disturbances. And get this, the president will also be in minnesota today. You can bet hell brung up law and order bring up law and order. Mr. Trumps press secretary,

All right, there is a mask and vaccine fought. President trump saws well have 100,000 next doses. That will be super fast. The cdc says, hold on, youll have to wait until the middle of next year, and joe biden says he doesnt trust trump, he trusts science. College sports, yeah, making a comeback. Ncaa basketball returns in november, big ten football in october. And sally, ouch. That storm has dumped more than a foot of run in some pluses and, get this, a storm named teddy is forming.
