august. that would have given the candidates a chance to contrast themselves with donald trump. but trump is not even coming. the idea that he s not going to be on stage for the first debate is the leading candidate is something i don t think we have seen before. so everything that s happening now across the aisle and the primaries is really a case of first impression. donald trump with a trim crown indictment is the leading candidate on the republican side for president. we re waiting to see about the debate stage with trump. i appreciate your time. i know this is a powerful and poignant day for you and the families. congressman, thank you. thank you. quite a day for them. that s for sure. we re minutes away from the labor releasing the july jobs report. we re going to tell you what it says and what it mean for the economy. a zoo in china struggling to convince the sun bears are bears. i never said it wasn t a
