| 0:00.0 | Brian Stewart, Seeking Alpha's Director of News, happy Friday. |
| 0:14.9 | Happy Friday. |
| 0:15.5 | Great to be here. |
| 0:16.3 | Always great to do a Wall Street roundup with you. |
| 0:19.3 | Yesterday, I did my first episode of the Cannabis Investing |
| 0:23.0 | podcast on Trump's Executive Order. It was our first episode since April, but not much |
| 0:30.3 | market movement, honestly, just to the slightly negative side. So not top of mind, though, |
