Hello and good morning. Let's go. It's Tuesday, April 8th, 2025. It's first thing with Kevin Man.

I'm just a real quick look at all the headlines organized and delivered efficiently as you start

today. And the show starts right now. And we always start with the top story. Back to the stock market.

Yesterday was a chaotic day for stocks. They bounced

between gains and losses. In the end, U.S. stocks ended lower. There were rumors of a tariff pause at

one point in the day, so stocks spiked. The White House then called it fake news and they dropped

again. Other countries are feeling it too. Europe markets are down. Stocks in Hong Kong had their worst day since 1997.

Although, as of the time I'm recording this, it does look like Asian markets rebounded

a bit when they opened this morning.

One of the main reasons for all of the uncertainty is the ongoing back and forth between

the U.S. and China with these tariffs.

China hit back with retaliatory tariffs.

So President Trump said,

we'll increase tariffs on you by an additional 50% of you don't stop.

They accused him of bullying.

Nobody is quite sure how this is going to shake out, how it's going to end.

And the markets continue to be nervous.

We will see what today brings.

Let's go.

All right, okay, on the sports.

First of all, congratulations to the Florida Gators.

They beat the Houston Cougars last night in the March Madness Championship game.
