## Resource

Ed Yardeni made a big call for a rate hike in July. He joins us to explain his case. Plus – President Trump says he’s postponing a “scheduled attack of Iran tomorrow.” We get instant reaction to that news from Hightower’s Stephanie Link and JP Morgan’s Meera Pandit. And, star venture capitalist Rashaun Williams from Value Investment Group tells us which company will be the clear winner in the AI race to go public.
