Really really interesting day of single best idea and what we do on Bloomberg Surveillance. Sometimes we have breaking news headlines we have to get into where they're market moving. In this moment, the Dow one up two hundred points on futures. It was a Trump announcement on tariffs. So we have to short a guest. We really try to bring back guests that we've had to short soon.

the land of the Strategic Air Command. It seems ancient history, but it was when minute men missiles were important to America. We'll get mc molroy on again, and many other worthies as well.

One of the great secrets of how we make the sauce, how we make the spaghetti hair each and every day is that so many of our guests really choose to be with us.
