some time this week, has it? Spoke on CNBC, I think.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
The Schumer shutdown is likely to add some time this week.
But I can tell you that if it doesn't. If
it doesn't, if the story that we've been basically hearing
from moderates that look, we just can't do it in
front of the No Kings rally, if that ends up
not being true, that I think that the White House
is going to have to look very closely, along with
russ vote at stronger measures that we could take to
bring up to the table.

He gave us his outlook ahead of this week's earnings.

Speaker 5 (03:30):
It is still a very constructive earning season, and we
think we should probably see that continue as we push
through the rest of the earning season because we've certainly
seen solid consumer data, solid activity data, so this should
be a fairly solid earning season is how it starts.
Seems to be shaping up.
