Another October 7th & Trillions in Debt Loom 10/07/24

Under either Presidential candidates’ economic plans the federal debt will soar, but Fmr. Pres. Trump’s plan could cost twice as much as Vice Pres. Harris’s, according to a new report by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Retired Goldman Sachs Partner Abby Joseph Cohen discusses the state of the economy and the election’s impact on the markets. Next, on the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attacks against Israel, Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt talks about the rise in antisemitism in the past year and how to honor the lives lost. Plus, Starboard Value has taken a roughly $1 billion stake in Pfizer and Trump returned to Butler, Pa. this weekend for a rally after the assassination attempt this summer at that same location.
