The Operator: Good evening. We have two items in the packet tonight.

The Operator: First from CNBC Markets: according to CNBC Markets, President Trump has threatened tariffs on trade surplus countries unless the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, escalating pressure on Chairman Kevin Warsh ahead of a likely rate hike. Administration officials argue that economic growth and supply-side investments offset inflationary pressures, challenging the Fed's focus on persistent price increases. He posted about the jobs report about 16 hours before this.

The Operator: Second from CNBC Technology: according to CNBC Technology, Adobe has named Anil Chakravarthy as its new CEO, replacing Shantanu Narayen. The leadership change occurs on December 1, while Narayen transitions to executive chair. This comes amid investor concerns over AI disruption, which have contributed to Adobe's stock falling 18% in 2026. Top executive David Wadhwani has also announced he is exiting the company.

The Operator: That is all we have for you tonight.

The Operator: That's the show. We're on Spotify and YouTube — if this earned it: like, subscribe, tell a friend. And housekeeping: the machine that writes this gets tuned constantly for cleaner news. The numbers are real; the jokes are not.
