The Business News Headlines and Bridges of Iowa 20 October 2025

We start things off today with a quick story about why Wall Street had such a tremendous day. It's all about earnings and a huge dash of hope.  This is the Business News Headlines for Monday the 20th day of October, thanks for listening. In other news, Amazon cloud services experienced a major hiccup and we’ll share what we know.  Consumers are paying plenty for beef…and now the president thinks he has a solution.  Smoke pot and own a firearm?  The Supreme Court is about to weigh in on that topic.  China says the U.S. employed a cyber attack back in 2022. It’s becoming a major problem. Americans can no longer afford their vehicles. We’ll check the numbers in The Wall Street Report and Americans remain sour about job prospects. For the conversation you’ll meet Jeff Lamberti the Chairman of the non-profit long term substance abuse program, Bridges of Iowa.  But, first the news.

Thanks for listening!
