| 0:40.3 | Welcome to Motley Fool Money. |
| 0:41.4 | I'm Travis Hoyam, joined this week by Lou Whiteman and Jason Moser. |
| 0:45.5 | We have a lot to cover today from changes to Chrome, Meta's new AI glasses. |
| 0:50.3 | But we have to start with the elephant in the room, and that is the Federal Reserve. |
