Oil giant Exxon Mobil reported quarterly results today that beat expectations. Ahead of the presidential election next week, Exxon CEO Darren Woods discusses oil prices, supply and demand, tariffs, Donald Trump’s “drill baby drill” perspective, and the California lawsuit over Exxon’s plastics waste. Next, Arthur Brooks, author and AEI president emeritus, gives a mood check on the country as we head into the election. He says, don’t let the election “ruin your life.” Plus, shares of Amazon and Intel are rising after earnings beat estimates, Boeing and its machinist union have negotiated a new contract offer, Sony is suing CBS over game show revenue from Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, and economists are parsing a “noisy” jobs report.
