Think all wealth managers are the same? Fisher Investments is clearly different. As a fiduciary, Fisher always does what's best for its clients. They don't sell commission-based investment products or make commissions on trades. Their fees are structured so they do better when clients do better.

Did JD Vance just test the waters for a 2028 campaign? Plus, investors hold their breath before today's pivotal US inflation report, and we'll look back on 25 years of the global war on terror.

It's Friday, September eleventh. I'm Luke Vargas for the Wall Street Journal, and here is the AM edition of What's News, the top headlines and business stories moving your world today. Доз Д. Д. Ванц ванна бе президент?
I gotta say it's it's pretty cool to hear a crowd that is this fired up chant your name. So go ahead and do it again.
The vice president delivered a primetime speech at Republicans' midterm convention last night and met with chance of forty-eight, a reference to a potential campaign to succeed Donald Trump. He tried to change the topic but didn't put those rumors to bed.
Can we please we gotta take care of business this November, then we'll worry about what comes next.
Vance is a leading presidential contender according to early polls, as is Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was notably absent from the GOP convention as he wraps up a diplomatic tour of South America. Pressed by reporters, Rubio said he doesn't know what the future holds and has, quote, no plans at this time. In California, Governor Gavin Newsom has signed over a dozen bills regulating addictive social media features and AI-driven chatbots used by kids.
This is about actually addressing the problem, the scrolling, the algorithms. This is about addressing the substantive issue around the engineering. And that's what makes this truly. A significant and consequential bill, and truly something we're proud to claim is a nation leading bill in terms of addressing social media harms to our kids sixteen and younger.
The legislation targets features such as autoplay and technology that relies on user information to decide which content to show.

California is also leading the charge on regulating AI chatbots with a new law requiring parental controls and suicide crisis protocols, expanding child privacy protections, and targeting AI-generated sexual depictions of minors. The push follows Meta's recent $18 billion legal settlement over its platform's impact on teenagers, though tech companies maintain that delivering a tailored experience is part of what makes the platforms valuable for teens. It's CPI day with U.S. consumer inflation data due out at 8:30 a.m. Eastern. It's a final key data point ahead of next week's closely watched Fed meeting, the outcome of which remains uncertain.
