HOLD OFF ECONOMIC TURMOIL,
SENDING SERIOUS JITTERS ACROSS
WALL STREET AND NOW CONCERNS
ABOUT INFLATION, CAUSING A
RECESSION SENT THE MARKETS
REALLY IN TODAY JASON COLTHORPE
IN THE NEWSROOM FOREST TONIGHT
FOLLOWING A ROCKY DAY. REALLY
ALL ACROSS THE BOARD. ROCKY IS A
GENTLE WAY TO PUT IT HERE, AND
IT WAS LIKE A BOUNCING BALL FROM
THE DOW TODAY. MASSIVE SWINGS
MARKED THE DAY BUT ALL IN THE
RED, THE ONLY THING THAT WAS UP
MORTGAGE RATES. LET’S LOOK AT
THE DOW’S CLOSED, WHICH WAS
LITTLE MORE THAN AN HOUR AGO.
NOW THE INDEX DOWN 874 POINTS.
IT STARTED THE MORNING OFF MORE
THAN 800 POINTS AND HAD WILD
SWINGS OF SEVERAL 100 POINTS IN
SHORT TIME FRAMES. THEN THE TECH
HEAVY NASDAQ DROPPED BY AS MUCH
AS 4% IN THE MORNING TRADING AND
FINISHED THE DAY DOWN. 530. THE
S AND P. 500 WAS OFF MORE THAN
3% DURING THE DAY AND CLOSED
DOWN 150 POINTS. IN FACT, THE S
AND P ENDED THE DAY IN BEAR
MARKET TERRITORY, WHICH IS MEANS
IT’S OFF MORE THAN 20% FROM ITS
JANUARY HIGH. MUCH OF THIS
SELLOFF, BY THE WAY, ATTRIBUTED
TO INVESTOR CONCERNS THAT THE
FED WILL CONTINUE RAISING
INTEREST RATES TO TRY AND COOL
INFLATION. AND IT WAS ALSO A
PRETTY BAD DAY FOR
CRYPTOCURRENCY AS WELL. BITCOIN
LOST MORE THAN 15% OF ITS VALUE
AFTER ONE OF THE LARGEST LENDERS
PAUSED WITHDRAWALS IN THE
NEWSROOM TONIGHT. HOPEFULLY
WE’LL HAVE BETTER NEWS ON THIS
TOMORROW. JASON COLTHORPE LOCAL
4. ALRIGHT, THANK YOU, JASON.
JUDGE DENIES PERRY JOHNSON’S
REQUEST TO GET ON THE AUGUST
PRIMARY BALLOT. THE CHALLENGE
WAS DENIED JUST TODAY. THE JUDGE
SAYS IT WAS ON ACCOUNT OF THE
CAMPAIGN’S FAILURE TO
DEMONSTRATE THAT THE MICHIGAN
BUREAU ELECTIONS DID NOT
ADEQUATELY ASSESS THE VALIDITY
OF THE SIGNATURES SUBMITTED TO
GET ON THE BALLOT. YOU’LL RECALL
JOHNSON’S CAMPAIGN TURNED IN
MORE THAN 23,000 SIGNATURES, BUT
BUREAU OF ELECTION STAFF FOUND
AROUND 9400 OF THEM TO BE
INVALID, LEAVING JOHNSON SHORT
OF THE 15,000 REQUIRED TO BE ON
THE BALLOT. BARRICADED GUNMAN

THEM TO CHECK WITH LOCAL POLICE.

DOMESTIC ABUSERS TO BUY GUNS.
