| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's Kramer and this is my morning take on the market from today's |
| 0:05.0 | CNBC Investing Club morning meeting. |
| 0:07.0 | Jeff, you know we've got kind of a, what I would say a very, very big day if we pull this off. |
| 0:17.0 | And the reason I say that is because the big numbers, the PCE and of the PMI were cool |
| 0:24.8 | and weak enough that we can actually start going back and thinking that the Fed might be able to do |
| 0:30.7 | two cuts instead of one. And that's why the NASDAX moving up. Yeah, you know, I look, my my view on |

| 1:22.6 | an underground economy of 8 to 10 million people who come to the country, |
| 1:26.6 | some legal, some illegal, who are now propping up the country, although they're driving up the price of rent, propping up the country because they take the jobs that had been going begging for a long time. |
| 1:38.3 | Just an important thing I watch because I'm a small business person in real life. |
| 1:41.3 | Now, I want to talk about a stock that should be up more |
