 Bottom of the hour break, of course, comes up before long, and that includes a Bloomberg money mint and our daily recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, then TV9 meteorologist Corey Thompson, extended conversation with KXEL's Tim Harwood about the chance for severe weather, which is definitely in the forecast for today. So all that and more as we blend the past, the present, and look ahead to the future on this Monday morning.
