Good evening. The show begins tonight in Las Vegas, where I learned from Jeff Bliss.

The search for an NBA franchise is getting closer and closer.

Right now, the NBA has commented that it's looking to expand.

Three cities are mentioned.

Mexico City, Seattle, that had a team once, the Sonics,

and Las Vegas. Jeff believes Las Vegas is a strong choice. That is the

last piece of the puzzle they need along with baseball and football.

And then to remembering Governor Jerry Brown, twice Governor in the 20th century, twice Governor in the 21st century.

Big plans, common sense, very different from the way California is led

today by a supermajority in the legislature and a governor who's expert at being non-transparent. Small Business America, the

declining mortgage applications are the tail of the slowdown.

Gene Marks reporting.

Also, Gene recommends 401k plans for every small business under 50 employees.

The government will help you. It's nearly free. It enhances your

employment possibilities. 401k is for your employees and for yourself. Only 24% of the small business in America have so far taken advantage of

what this looks to be a great idea. France, Emmanuel McCrone is challenging the national rally. France. If the National Rally gets in and it's likely that it will, it then needs to govern and won't look so wonderful to those from the outside.

It will look like government, which is necessarily messy and slow and compromise failed

not a spear thrower and then a conversation about America's economy,

Things looking rosy.

Restaurants filled, stores filled, people busy, people working, young families. Doesn't sound like a slowdown.
