Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Hot Topics at 10. We have so much to dig into. I know we're a little bit late, but we're getting some stuff together. I kind of switched the show around a little bit. I was going to start with Donald Trump talking about, you know, the apparent assassination attempt and politics. But I want to start with something that's going to affect all of you, and then we need to exhaust this Diddy story. So we're going to talk about what's going on with Diddy. As you know, he was in court yesterday. We're going to talk about MAGA's obsession with children. And we have a couple of clips from our friends over at Morning Joe and on other networks talking about this and some of the anti-women and racist aspects of what's going on.
And as I said, we're going to exhaust the Diddy story. Remember yesterday, you know, when the U.S. attorney read out what was in the indictment, it mentioned getting these IV drips, where we actually have Diddy getting an IV drip. And we have him also talking about his kids who have been prominent somewhat in this story. And then we're gonna talk about, did you guys see this? These pagers that went off to, it was supposed to be for members of Hezbollah. just exploding. The way they did this, it's like a science fiction or an action movie. It's unbelievable, okay? So today, the feds are supposed to cut rates, and everyone's wondering. I know this isn't as interesting for you guys. It's not pop culture. It's not, you know...
provocative, but it affects you guys. Oh, yeah, I see someone is asking about Godfrey was hilarious yesterday. We're going to talk about Godfrey as well, his appearance on the show yesterday. He's going to weigh in, okay? We're going to play some of that. But this rate cut could really affect Everyone. It's not could affect everyone. It's going to affect everyone. If you're sitting around saying, I'll never be able to afford a house. My credit card bills are too high. This is going to be the first time, I believe, in four years that there is a possible rate cut. How does that affect you? Here is a report this morning explaining somewhat what is going to happen with this rate cut and how it might be politicized, but what it means to you.
Watch this.
The central bank expected to cut U.S. interest rates for the first time in four years, a move that's meant to lower borrowing costs for American consumers and businesses. That could mean cheaper mortgages, credit card rates and auto loans. It signals that the Fed does think inflation is under control and it's shifting attention to the job market, which has shown some signs of weakness. The expected decision comes less than seven weeks from Election Day. That breaks a norm. to leave interest rates alone in the months leading up to a presidential election. Donald Trump and Kamala Harris both trying to get out ahead of the Fed's announcement on the campaign trail. The economy is now not good. And interest rates, you'll see they'll do the rate cut and all the political stuff tomorrow, I think.
And, you know, will he do a half a point? Will he do a quarter of a point? But the reason is because the economy is not good. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to do it.
as of today we have created over 16 million new jobs over 800 000 new manufacturing jobs is the price of groceries still too high yes do we have more work to do yes so annie linsky okay so there's a lot of work to do all right so whatever the size of the cut according to cbs and to the financial experts i'm not a financial expert but i've been through this you know i've been around for a while whatever the size of the cut the fed's first rate reduction since march of 2020 will provide some welcome relief for consumers who are in the market for a home or auto purchase, as well as for those carrying pretty pricey credit card debt, okay?
