    Katie Zacharia Is Out as White House Press Secretary

    10/16/2026 | 13 mins.
    P.M. Edition for Oct. 16. The Journal has learned that White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia is out, after facing sharp criticism following her first briefing earlier this week. Plus, drones have struck two ships in Romanian territorial waters of the Black Sea—the first attack of its kind, and NATO says Russia is to blame. As Journal Brussels bureau chief Dan Michaels discusses, Russia’s increasingly brazen attacks are putting NATO in a tight spot: offer a rebuke without escalating the conflict unnecessarily. And gas prices are up all over the U.S., but it’s not hitting all Americans the same. WSJ economics reporter Konrad Putzier discusses which states are getting hit the hardest by prices at the pump, and what impact that might have on the midterms. Alex Ossola hosts.

    10/16/2026 | 15 mins.
    A.M. Edition for Oct. 16. A string of AI safety incidents is exposing a gaping hole for the fast-growing industry: the lack of available insurance.

Plus, U.S.-Mexico trade talks hit a roadblock in Washington as WSJ’s Gavin Bade reports commerce secretary Howard Lutnick is refusing to cut tariffs on steel, aluminum and cars. And Tesla’s new Roadster takes flight, quite literally. Luke Vargas hosts.

    Big Banks Ride the AI Boom

    10/15/2026 | 6 mins.
    Bonus Episode for Oct. 15. Big U.S. banks opened earnings season with growing profits—and warnings that rising interest rates could stop the party. Still, bankers said higher rates have yet to dent consumer or business appetite to borrow and spend. JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Wells Fargo each reported higher third-quarter profit and revenue from a year earlier. WSJ banking and payments reporter Ben Glickman says that’s in part because of the near-endless need for financing related to the artificial-intelligence industry. Revenue across all four increased 9% to $115 billion.

    Pierre Bienaimé hosts this special bonus episode of What's News in Earnings, where we dig into companies’ earnings reports and analyst calls to find out what’s going on under the hood of the American economy.
