The Business News & More 15 August 2019

Some days ya just don't know where to start. It was projected that the Dow was going to open strong this morning. That didn't happen but what did happen is our first story:

• It's enough to make you shiver;
• To drive customers into its store J.C. Penny will sell....
• General Electric a "fraud bigger than Enron"? Yikes;
• Big back to school items are...bullet proof. We're not kidding;
• Walmart "open" to the discussion of banning assault weapons.

Those stories plus a conversation with Dr. Chris Draper the author of Violicity Economics...where we start out but the main focus of our visit is about "deep-fakes" and making sure what you have created is what you created and when it was created. Sound...deep? Meet the founder of Trokt and Hang on this will be something for you to hear.
