“Dark day for press freedom”; Wall Street vs. Main Street

from Here's the Scoop · host jonathan allen, yasmin vossoughian, christine romans

The Pentagon is emptying out today after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth implemented new rules for members of the press. Reporters can now have their press passes revoked if they publish information that the Pentagon hasn’t authorized for release. After the vast majority of publications refused to comply, reporters turned in their badges and left the Pentagon. NBC Senior National Politics reporter Jon Allen joins host Yasmin Vossoughian to explain what this means for reporting on the U.S. military. PLUS there’s a tale of two economies when you look at Main Street versus Wall Street. While consumers face steeper costs and a weakening job market, the stock market is hitting record highs.  What’s causing the stock boom? The trillions of dollars being invested in A.I. But there are serious concerns this could be a tech bubble ready to pop. NBC News Senior Business Correspondent breaks this all down on the show. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
