Welcome back and great to be with you for this the Tuesday Edition of the Business News Headlines for the 14th day of May.  Coming up some of the top business news stories of the day plus a bit of audio with the (now) retired broadcasting legend Harry K. Smith who spent years with CBS and NBC making all of us a little smarter. Make sure you click through for that. Meanwhile if you want to reach out to us on Social Media you can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram. Facebook? Sure were there too.  Here's what we've got for you today:

• Tariffs, China and EV's;
• The Producer Price Index and what that means;
• Fed Chair Jerome Powell talked about interest rates;
• They're back! Meme stocks that is;
• Do not do this drivers...really!
• The Wall Street Report;
• And, Google invests big in new AI items.

For the interview a short clip with broadcaster Harry K. Smith who, last week, spoke to members of the Greater Des Moines Partnership during our DMDC2024 trip. I was able to catch him for a bit. I know our conversation could have gone much longer.  Harry was in that mood but Partnership staff was giving us the hook. Something about boarding a bus for the airport.  To listen to our visit CLICK THIS LINK.
