Jimmy Barrett and Shara Fryer take you through the stories that matter on the morning of 7/18/2018, including: Has Wall Street become numb to Trump? President Donald Trump's unorthodox behavior continues, but a veteran Wall Street banker told CNBC that it doesn't really matter. "In a weird way, Trump can basically do whatever he wants, and the market doesn't even wince.” The NASDAQ is soaring to new heights despite all the negative news that used to freak everyone out. Instead of selling off, Wall Street is climbing higher. What gives? Has Trump become "background noise" to investors?; Beto O'Rourke, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas, raised more than $10.4 million over the past three months, he announced Wednesday, revealing a sum that takes his already massive fundraising to new heights. And the El Paso congressman again vastly outraised the Republican incumbent, Ted Cruz, who took in less than half of his challenger's haul — $4.6 million — in the same time, according to his campaign. O'Rourke also took a decisive lead in cash on hand over Cruz with four months to Election Day, $14 million to $10.4 million. Does money = success in the campaign? If so, should Cruz be concerned?; The high cost of catering to SJW’s on campus: dwindling enrollment and finances. Schools like Evergreen State College, the University of Missouri and Oberlin College are all notorious for their tendency to pander to social justice activists — and now they are paying the price. Although college enrollment is slightly declining throughout the country, these institutions have seen massive declines over just the past few years; A Customs and Border Protection spokesperson claims the deployment of National Guard troops along the US border with Mexico has led to over 10,000 “deportable alien arrests.” Because guardsmen are military personnel and not law enforcement officers, they cannot apprehend illegal immigrants. But CBP officers and Border Patrol agents apprehended thousands of people that guardsmen helped point out. The National Guard's presence also helped lead to the interception of more than 3,300 others who were turned back before they crossed into the U.S.
