Financial planner Paul Curtman talks about the Dow momentarily hitting 40,000 for the first time ever on Thursday, but most Americans feel like they're still struggling to make ends meet. He also looked at Gov. DeSantis signing a bill removing "climate change" from state laws, banning offshore wind power, and relaxing rules on gas pipelines, showing once again how he's ahead of the curve.

The Missouri Legislative Session ends this evening at 6pm, basically leaving the IP petition reform plan out in the cold once again. That means voters will not be permitted to decide if there should be a higher standard to amend the state's constitution. 

We discuss the VP possibilities for President Trump. Tim Scott? JD Vance? Ben Carson? Tulsi Gabbard? Doug Burgum?

MORNING NEWS DUMP:

The Missouri Legislative Session ends this evening at 6pm, basically leaving the IP petition reform plan out in the cold once again. That means voters will not be permitted to decide if there should be a higher standard to amend the state's constitution. 

The White House is blocking the release of Biden's special counsel interview audio. The transcript is available to the public. Story here: https://redstate.com/bonchie/2024/05/16/biden-blocks-release-of-embarrassing-special-counsel-interview-admits-hes-doing-for-political-reasons-n2174269

Meanwhile, as the House Oversight Committee passed a resolution to advance the contempt resolution against Attorney General Merrick Garland for failing to comply with that subpoena to turn over the audio recordings of Biden's October interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur, there were some wild exchanges and fiery meltdowns between Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX). Hilarity ensued!! Enjoy the kerfuffle here: https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2024/05/17/mtg-aoc-and-jasmine-crockett-go-at-it-in-fiery-meltdowns-at-garland-hearing-about-contempt-n2174305
