The Business News Headlines and Rural Living 3 August 2026

Now some 25 states have sued the Trump Administration over the latest round of tariffs and that is where we start today. This is The Business News Headlines for Monday the 3rd day of August, thanks for being with us. In other news, Wall Street had another big day. It looks like Todd Blanche will become the next Attorney General. After years of delay the FAA gives the OK to Boeing and it’s new 747 jet. We’ll check the numbers in The Wall Street Report and for the conversation we welcome back Deb Brown from SaveYour.Town and the release of the 2026 Survey of Rural Challenges and what is it really like living in a rural community around the world. And, yes, you are invited to take the survey.

Thanks for listening!
