In Washington, President Trump's suggested tariff dividend of at least $2,000 being clarified a little bit by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant on ABC. The $2,000 dividend could come in lots of forms and in lots of ways, George. You know, it could be just the tax decreases that we are seeing on the president's agenda.You know, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, deductibility of auto loans. So, you know, those are substantial deductions that, you know, are being financed in the tax ...

No surprise that this weekend was insane. Government shutdown. The weather, how much does that affect the airlines themselves.It does affect the airlines because, one, you have to all these passengers who are stranded do. You've got aircraft and crews that are out of place and that means you have sort of relocation flights.

But could this be really it.No, I don't think it is. To be honest. I mean, I think if you put it in context, I mean, revenues are up about 17% in local currency, about 22% in US dollar terms for October is trending in line with the guidance they gave when they gave the Q3 update.So I think this is where we're expecting it to be and it will be well, it wa ...

The BBC's director general Tim Davie is well to resign amid allegations that the broadcaster misled viewers by editing President Donald Trump's remarks in a documentary. While the clip made to Trump appeared to say that his supporters should, quote, walk down to the capital and fight like hell. In fact, he said, they should cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women.Why the fight like hell remark was from a different part of the speech. War News chief Deborah Turness has also quit over the contro ...

I'm always overreacting here to the possibility of an end to the shutdown. So it doesn't seem like this is really such a great catalyst for the size of the moves that we're seeing. Asian markets had a really good session.We had things like The Cosby Rising 3% everywhere you look. You know, it's very a risk on in a way that we don't always see. You've got all of the commodities pushing higher as well.As you were saying, Lizzy, equity futures are up, too. I mean, and the only thing that's changing really is I ...

Well, like you said, there's 10,000 flights cancelled or delayed today. And just to give you a scale in 2025, this is the 11th day with the most cancellations. So it's no, we're not, you know, the worst day in the US this year.And a lot of it is, of course, due to the staffing shortages for air traffic controllers. But you have other factors that are making things worse. You have the winter storm in Chicago, and that's one of those the biggest airports in the US. And and there's, you know, decades of hiring ...
