Thats right. So the question this morning is, what does this all mean for you . Obviously, these numbers are going to give people some pause in terms of choosing perhaps this vaccine. Dr. Fauci says vaccines, though, still, whatever you can get, the best way to keep this virus from evolving further. Officials in South Carolina also have just confirmed the nations first cases of the south africa variant. The new model shows the pandemic could claim nearly 654,000 lives by may 1st. Lets begin with the j j breaking news. Our senior medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen is with us. Can you explain what that means for everyone watching . The bottom line is, if the Johnson Johnson vaccine gets authorization from the fda and you are looking for a vaccine, and youve looked for moderna and pfizer, which are better, theres no question, but you cant find them because theres not enough of them but you can get Johnson Johnson, experts are telling me, get it. Do not hesitate to get it. It is still a good vaccine. It still gives protection. Its just not quite as good as pfizer and moderna. But it is still good. Remember, there are plenty of vaccines out there that have the level that Johnson Johnson is giving for other things. The flu shot, for example, sometimes only 50 effective. And Johnson Johnson is way better than that. So lets take a look at what Johnson Johnson found. When they were looking at the ability of Johnson Johnsons vaccine to prevent moderate to severe cases, they found it was 66 effective. Modernas was about 95 effective in that realm. Now when you look at what matters even more which is preventing severe cases, keeping people out of the hospital, keeping people alive, Johnson Johnson was 85 effective. Six months ago if we thought wed have a vaccine that was 85 effective, wed all be jumping up and down in joy. Moderna and pfizer are 100 effective, or nearly 100 effective in preventing severe disease. Johnson johnsons vaccine is quite good, if you can get it. Once its approved, if its approved, you should for sure get it. You can always get moderna and pfizer later. Theres nothing that precludes you from doing that. One expert said thats what i would do. If i could get j j now, id get it and then get moderna and pfizer later when i was able to get it. Poppy, jim . Elizabeth cohen, thanks for breaking down the data here. Joining us now to speak about this more is the Infectious Disease expert, Michael Osterholm director of research and policy at the university of minnesota. Always good to have you on. Good to be with you. Help us break through this data for folks listening here who are constantly bombarded with information and this good in the good news character. Theres another option coming out from Johnson Johnson with the advantages of being one shot versus two. Do you agree with the guidance that, listen, if this is the one that comes available to you first, take that one. Take what you can get, even though its slightly lower efficacy than moderna and pfizer. Well, first of all, let me just say that if i were in the General Public right now, my first reaction would be, i want the one that protects me the most. We havent really done a god job, i think, of explaining to the public that the immune response that occurs with the vaccine sometimes takes months to mature. And what all of these studies you are hearing about are really what happened in the two months after the last dose was administered. And for example in the Johnson Johnson study, which hasnt really been discussed, this protection got better the farther you got out from the vaccination. And that actually if we had followed this several more months, it might have been an equal, if not superior vaccine to what were seeing with moderna and pfizer. So weve got to do a better job of helping the public understand these are really in my mind, three almost equivalent vaccines. The advantage here is the Johnson Johnson vaccine is much more stable. We can keep it in our refrigerators longer. We dont have to worry about the extreme temperature issues. And for many clinics out there, this is going to be the ideal vaccine to have. One dose. Stable vaccine. Use it. That is so helpful dr. Osterholm. A key difference is that j j is a little bit more like a flu vaccine because it is made from a weakened virus, right . Its not the mrna or the rna. Should that matter to people . Right. Its not actually like the glu vaccine but what it is, its another vaccine where it uses another virus piece. Basically what we call an adno virus to help cause the antigen or material we were trying to vaccinate you against, how it enters into the body and how it then presents itself to the immune system. So it is a tried and true method and again, it has been well researched for many, many years. So from that standpoint, we think this is a very positive development. Okay. Now i dont want to get ahead of ourselves because right now were still struggling to get a first vaccine option into the arms of americans. But if it gets to the point where all of us, and it will get to that point, where its widely available, any of these vaccines is widely available, do you agree with the guidance that, lets say you get j j vaccine first. That does not preclude you at a later date from getting the pfizer or Moderna Vaccine to add to your immunity . Does that make sense for folks as they think about this longer term . Let me just say right now were on a vaccine journey. Were going to be learning a lot about these vaccines over the course of the next three to six months. And what i mean by that is, for example, weve already seen that the variants in south africa can surely have a big impact on how well these vaccines work. Were going to also have more information eventually on whats happening in brazil with that particular variant. And so i think right now, suffice it to say, get your first doses. Well have to keep sorting this out. Not sorting out to look at safety. Not sorting it to look at whether you should get it or not. Get it. But were going to be constantly reevaluating it. Whats the best way to protect the most people over time . And that may be that you will be getting a booster dose on a routine basis with one or more vaccines. So i know its confusing right now, but i think, get your first dose now. Protect as many people as possible. For sure. Probably the most Important Message anyone is going to hear today on this is that. You said definitively the worst is still ahead of us in this. Can you put that into context with this j j news we just got today . Well, one of the challenges we have right now is time. You know, people are talking about running a race with these Variant Viruss to get people vaccinated. If thats the case, weve already lost. Theres no race. If you look at what we can deliver in the United States with vaccine, literally in the first 65 days after the inauguration, not 100 days, and make that the 100 million dose goal, if you look at that, thats only about 12 of our population will be vaccinated. And protected. And so from this perspective, if the variants take off, as i believe this one from the uk is going to do in the next 3 to 4 to 5 weeks, by the time we get into february and march well still only have 12 of the u. S. Population vaccinated, and we can see case numbers far exceeding anything weve had to date. This really, i think, is the darkest hours of this pandemic. We have to acknowledge that. Thats what we need to start getting ready for. When we go from 150,000 cases a day, far beyond 300,000 cases a day, far beyond 120,000 hospitalizations a day. Far beyond 4,000 deaths a day. And i think thats all likely to happen in the next upcoming months. Just such a shame all the lost time in getting a handle on this. Final question, if i can, dr. Ashish jha who youre familiar with had an interesting thread on twitter talking about variants here. And making the point that variants tend to show up in countries that have not gotten this under control. That have let the virus do its work and mutate to a point where they could become more transmissible and possibly, we dont know yet, more deadly. I wonder, do we have a handle on whats happening in the u. S. . We dont do a great job of tracking the Genetic Signatures of these variants. Are we get anything better at seeing if were developing our own more transmissible variants . Yeah, well, in fact, wherever this virus is is reproducing, which right now is worldwide, youll see variants develop. And weve had a number of variants. Variants are not uncommon. What were most concerned about are the variants that cause more frequent disease transmission, more severe disease or evade our immune response from vaccine or infection. Here in the United States, we do not have a good understanding of whats happening with the variant movement. We were right now 42nd in the world by countries in terms of Doing Sequencing of this virus. I know this is a high, high priority for the new administration to basically upour game substantially. We need that data very, very badly. And so right now, we dont have a good handle on whats happening in our country. It is such a hill to climb to get everyone vaccinated, distribute it and sequence the way we should be. Dr. Osterholm, were grateful for you this morning. Thank you. So much lost time. Still to come fractures inside the gop have many republicans asking, is it still the party of trump . Is that a good idea . Plus, the capitol riot suspect, insurrection, really, who sat at speaker pelosis desk, has been denied bail. More on new Security Efforts around the capitol. Later this hour, we speak with four young women all members of a club no one wants to join. Each of their husbands only in their th30s or 40s have died fr coronavirus. For weeks after he passed, i would wake up suddenly in the middle of the night, and i would reach for my Phone Thinking i missed the call. I missed a call from the hospital. And then you realize, no, you know, he already passed. You have to like tell yourself the story again. Their strength is remarkable as they raise their Young Children without fathers anymore. Youll hear their stories ahead. This morning, a growing battle for the direction and soul of a fractured Republican Party. Former President Trump out of office, but clearly not out of power. At least when it comes to his own party. He and his allies are now targeting the ten House Republicans who voted for his second impeachment, including ramping up attacks on the number three ranked republican in the house. That is congresswoman liz cheney. Republicans, though, are staying mostly silent despite pressure by democrats to rebuke the qanon supporter and peddler of just the most ridiculous Conspiracy Theories you could imagine, congresswoman, shes a sitting congresswoman, Marjorie Taylor greene. Greene under fire for stunning often abhorrent comments calling the parkland shooting a false flag operation. Shes also talked about a giant laser from space that caused the fires on the west coast. Were not making this up. Cnns Lauren Fox Is On capitol hill for more on this. And i wonder, we talk about Kevin Mccarthy saying hes going to have a conversation with Taylor Greene now, sort of reminds me of the way i might talk to a 9yearold if they spoke back to me. Is there any real effort within the party to do something about her, or is she going to just go on and theyre going to hope we forget about it . Were not seeing a big effort in the Republican Party at this moment. Obviously, there are some democratic efforts to both remove her from congress or try to kick her off of her committees. Now ultimately, a decision to kick her off the committees she serves on would be a decision for kev in mccarthy, the House Minority leader. In the past hes taken those kinds of actions against former congressman steve king. He kicked him off his committees and eventually king could not win his reelection. So that can have a massive impact on a members ability to fundraise, a members ability to win votes back home in their own district. So thats certainly an option if republicans wanted to take it. But the Republican Party is doing a lot of soul searching. They are trying to figure out where to go in a posttrump era. You saw sKevin Mccarthy down in florida taking that photo with the president , a sign hes not ready to move on as he eyes 2022 and trying to take back the house of representatives. We also saw this playing out in wyoming yesterday. Matt gates a conservative member of the Freedom Caucus who was literally campaigning against liz cheney, a member of his own leadership. Heres what he said in wyoming. We are in a battle for the soul of the Republican Party, and i intend to win it. You can help me you can help me break a corrupt system. You can send a representative who actually represents you, and you can send liz cheney home. Back home to washington, d. C. And we should note theres just such a juxtaposition in what youre seeing out of House Republicans right now. Especially Kevin Mccarthy, their leader, n what youre seeing from Mitch Mcconnell who has not spoken to the former president since december. A clear tdivide here in the pary and house and some in Senate Republican leadership. Something to keep an eye on as they continue battling this out for not just days and weeks but potentially months and years. Do republicans have the votes to remove cheney at this point from the Leadership Position or is that still an open question . I still have sources telling me this is a very steep climb to remove her from her Leadership Position. That doesnt mean theyll not talk about it next week when they have a Conference Meeting to discuss this potentially and other issues, but i definitely think its still a very steep climb. And its a big question mark. And i think a large part of it will depend on where Kevin Mccarthy lands. Hes clearly stood by her side through this process. If he gets pressure from the right to move beyond her, i think that could have an influence on where the party goes. Well see. Mccarthy has moved before on this. Sometimes within the same day. Lauren fox, thanks very much. Joining me to discuss is olivia troy, former Homeland Security counterterrorism and task force adviser to mike pence and elizabeth newman, former assistant secretary of counterterrorism. They are both part of a group of republicans and Trump Administration alums forming the republican Accountability Project which plans to support lawmakers who voted to impeach trump and to go after republicans who continue to support the former president. Thanks for joining us. Good to have you on. Thanks for having us. So the republican Accountability Project, its main goals to try to protect republicans who you say had the backbone to vote to impeach the president , give them resources, et cetera, but also hold republicans accountable who have bought into the big lie about stolen election, et cetera. If i can begin with you, elizabeth, given how much of the base is still loyal to trump. You dont have a 10 problem here within the party. You have like an 80 problem, right . Do you believe you realistically have the resources and the backing to win this . To win this battle . Well, i have two answers to that. One, i dont know that 80 of the Republican Party are diehard trump supporters. I think the number is much, much less. Theres a difference twbetween holding your nose and voting for someone and voting for policy. After january 6th, seeing where the rhetoric has led to realizing that character really does matter, i think theres a softening happening right now. And i think some of these leaders in congress are misreading cues. They are probably having a little bit of abused Spouse Syndrome where theyre scared of his shadow. This is their opportunity to separate and redefine the party away from trump and aside from all of that, you know, the reason we did this project, it wasnt because were trying to save the party. Its because what they have done and in participating in President Trumps lies, it led to violence, and they need to be held accountable and Tell The Truth that the election was not stolen and apologize to their constituents if they want to have a political future. Olivia troye, what republican lawmakers have said to me in private, though, its only a handful willing to say it in public is, yeah, all this is damaging. Yeah, the man the old man is crazy, but if i say that in public, ill never be elected again. So i get that you always have overreach, right . Parties always overestimate to some degree their mandate here. But how do you fight that dynamic, right . Because the ten who voted to impeach him, seven already are going to be primaried. Well, i think thats why its important to hold the people accountable. The main players who enabled the narrative of the big lie and who led us down the path of what happened on january 6th. And i think its important also to remind these republicans who are elected officials in office that this is a culmination of four years under donald trump. This didnt happen overnight. And so these, behind closed door conversations that i have personally witnessed while working in the white house with a lot of these republicans and other political operatives and the politicals that work there, can only go so far. But you have to at some point take a stand. Having a behind closed door conversation is actually not going to do whats right for the country when this moment really matters. And weve just had an insurrection on the u. S. Capitol and a whole population out there who believed the lies of these elected individuals and, you know, that is important. We need to, you know, hold these people accountable for what theyve done. Theres that principled argument, elizabeth, there, right . Theres also the political argument. And its interesting, amy walter made the point yesterday about mccarthys visit to trump and trumps potential help in 2022 that the fact is, trump doesnt help a lot in these races when his name is not on the whether the. Didnt help in 2018, as you know. The republicans lost 40some odd seats in the house. From a purely lets set aside principle for a moment. So easy to do in washington. And just go at the politics here. Is there a political argument you make to these candidates saying, guys, its not going to work for you . Well, i think you have heard many commentators talk about nobody can beat trump but trump. Even what matt gates did yesterday is a clear attempt to try to be like trump. Marjorie Taylor Greene, her, you know, the stuff that she tries to do online, the little video clips she posts, shes clearly trying to build a brand and a following like trump. Nobody is going to be able to repeat what trump did, and i think they are eventually going to fail in their attempts and what they my argument to them would be, look, now is the time. Theres white space if you will. Theres this pause before the Real Campaign starts. You could actually lay out principles and policy positions and gather a following. You could do something called lead as opposed to following your base. And theres a lot of serious issues in this country that if they would focus less on their video viral feeds and the outrage and more on the psholic i think the country wants that. Most republicans want to get back to normal dialogue about politics and policy. I think they do. The trouble is the current process doesnt seem to reward that. Olivia, before we go, you do have something of a push, if you can call it that within the republican to somehow hold Marjorie Taylor greene responsible for, you know, propagating the big lie about the election but a whole host of whackadoodle crazy conspiracies. Yesterday was this giant laser from space that caused the wildfires in california. Its real. Its out there. What does it accomplish for the gop, though, to, you know, disavow her but still embrace the number one peddler of the big lie. The former president. That speaks to the future of the Republican Party. And what direction they want to go in. And do they want to continue to be the enablers and subscribers to conspiracy movements like the qanoners who theyve elected or are they going to ask them to resign and purge the gop of these entities, beginning with donald trump which is why weve called for his conviction. We need to remove him from coming back again and we need to show the example of Holding Someone like that accountable in this situation so that we can get rid of the rest of these people who are part of the same problem. Well, it is remarkable. And we should remember that, that here we have two republicans serving the administration who says, listen, this shall not stand. Olivia troye, elizabeth newman, thanks to both of you. Well be right back. E to se . At morgan stanley, a global collective of thought leaders offers investors a broader view. We see companies protecting the bottom line by putting people first. We see a bright future, still hungry for the ingenuity of those ready for the next challenge. Today, we are translating decades of experience into strategies for the road ahead. We are morgan stanley. This is what Community Looks like. Caring for each other, protecting each other. And as the Covid Vaccine rolls out, well be ready to administer it. We are standing by for a briefing at the white house, but we are expecting questions on President Trumps covid relief bill. White house Chief Of Staff ron klain now expresses confidence saying the bill is, quote, gaining a lot of momentum on capitol hill. Lets go to Jeremy Diamond at the white house with more this morning. That would be a significant turn if they think theyve got enough to maybe get this on a bipartisan basis. I wonder what has changed to get that. More targeted payments. What is it . Heres the reality. More than a week into the white houses push for this 1. 9 trillion Coronavirus Relief bill, we havent gotten any indications from any republican lawmakers that they are willing to sign on to a package of that size. Despite that, though, the white house Chief Of Staff ron klain saying yesterday that he believes he is seeing Momentum Building on capitol hill. Listen. Its hardly dead in the water. I think its gaining a lot of momentum on capitol hill. Weve been here seven days, and i think weve done more to advance the bill in seven days than any administration in history. Now hes right. This legislation certainly isnt dead in the water, and the white house is signaling that they would prefer a bipartisan deal. President biden himself has said that repeatedly and sources have told me the white house is willing to pare back that 1. 9 trillion price tag, but the question right now is whether they are willing to bring it down far enough to get any republican support in the senate. And as of now, it appears more likely that the white house would be, and Senate Democrats would be able to pass this using that Budget Reconciliation Process along partisan lines than actually being able to get a bipartisan deal. But well have to see. The white house is continuing to make this push, and significantly, they are also pushing to get in line all of the democratic caucus. Yesterday the Vice President Kamala Harris doing local tv and newspaper interviews in the states of West Virginia and arizona where senators joe manchin and kristenen is ma are two kitcritical Democrats Who T need to pass this. That was interesting to see her there for sure. Jeremy diamond, thank you very much. A federal judge comes down hard on those accused of the insurrection at the u. S. Capitol. The chief federal judge in washington, d. C. , ruled one of the suspects, Richard Barnett, will stay in jail, no bail for him, as he awaits trial. Hes the man putting his feet on a desk in House Speaker Nancy Pelosis office during the violent insurrection. Cnn justice correspondent Jessica Schneider joins us from washington. This judge was blistering. Yeah. In his criticism of the rioters, the insurrectionists, i suppose we should call them. Thats right. This judge is often outspoken, but judge barel howell poured into the january 6th insurrection. The first time were hearing a federal judge comment on the capitol attack. This was not a peaceful protest. Hundreds of people came to washington, d. C. , to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. Were still living here in washington, d. C. , with the consequences of the violence that this defendant is alleged to have participated in. She got into what happened on january 6th. Whats interesting here, she also denied a decision by a federal Magistrate Judge to release Richard Barnett on bail. She ordered him held in jail pending a trial here and pointed to some of the evidence from prosecutors saying that Richard Barnett himself had bragged to reporters about putting his feet on the desk, leaving a nasty note, in his words, for nancy pelosi and prosecutors also point to the fact they have receipts from a stun gun they say he bought and may have brought with him to the capitol. This is all coming at the same time the acting chief of the Capitol Police is calling for more permanent fencing around the capitol and, guys, we also have a memo from the acting House Sergeant at arms talking to lawmakers telling them to continue remaini ing vigilant a saying theyll get stepped up security at airports from tsa. A lot going on at the capitol. These warnings are harrowing. Clearly theyre concerned about the safety of members of congress. Giving them money for bulletproof vests. Ahead for us they had young, healthy husbands and then covid took all of it away. Coming up, four young widows reflect on their stunning loss and the legacies their beloved husbands leave behind. Im thankful i have the boys. Yeah, because ultimately, i have a piece of him here with me. Theyre half of him. So i got lucky. Theyre here with me. If these beautiful idaho potato recipes are just side dishes, then im not a real idaho potato farmer. Genuine idaho potatoes not just a side dish anymore. Always look for the Grown In Idaho seal. Sofi made it so easy to pay off my student loan debt. They were able to give me a personal loan so i could pay off all of my credit cards. I got my mortgage through sofi and the whole process was so easy. Express yourself express yourself welcome back. Every morning, jim and i tell you about the rising number of covid infections. We tell you about the rising death toll. But what we all need to remember is that these numbers arent just statistics. They are people who had lives and families. This is the story of whitney, pamela, christina and diana. They are all young widows, and they are all trying to navigate a new life as single mothers while they endure the isolation of covid. But an unexpected letter brought these women and hundreds more together. He just always carried on this, like, light into a room. Frank was like a huge teddy bear. He was going to take me to a lighthouse on our sixth anniversary, but it was a total surprise, and i didnt even find out about it until he had passed away. He just he made me a better person. Reporter whitney, pamela, christina and diana have never met but theyve had to welcome each other to a club none want to be a part of. He called me and he was like sobbing, and ive never heard my husband cry. And he just said hes so scared. Reporter their husbands, all young, only in their 30s or 40s, are all now dead. I just remember going, i just got a call two days ago. He was doing better. Why did it all happen so fast . Reporter these are the women covid has left behind. The widows left to pick up the pieces after the pandemic shattered their world. They are also all mothers. Strong for their children and kept strong by them. He just loved being a dad. That was his biggest joy of his life. Row your boat i just wonder where you find that strength, pamela. Because i know that martin would want me to be happy and live my life, i kind of think about that every day with the kids. They are running in the huge yard that our house has, and that was what he envisioned when we puttbought this house. He did everything from take her to the zoo to take her to the little gyms. I never had to ask him to help me with anything. He thought the floors werent clean, hed just sweep them. He sounds amazing dianas husband juan was taken to the hospital in the middle of the night. He never came home. For their 5yearold daughter mia, it changed everything. She tells me, im afraid something is going to happen to you. Im afraid youre going to die. And so she, you know, she just cant go to sleep. I just remember calling her in the room and i, you know, i was crying, and she was just like, whats wrong . Is daddy okay . I was just like, daddy passed away. Hes not going to come home. But she is so much like her dad. So logical. Like, well, you know, daddys not here, but i dont think he wants us to be sad all the time. And i am like, yeah, thats true. How are you teaching me about grief . Reporter christinas husband frank died on easter sunday. Their baby boy was just six months old. His older Brother Francesco not even 5. When christina read that Pamela Addison had lost her husband to covid, she put pen to paper and wrote to a woman shed never met about a grief she knew all too well. She knows exactly how i feel, and i know how she feels. I felt so alone after martin died. So i thought i was the only young widow. And crow really werent hearing the stories about the young people dying. When i opened up her card, i think one of the first things she said is, youre not alone. And at that moment, the weight of feeling alone was like lifted because now there was someone else who understood. Reporter because of that letter, pamela started the Facebook Group young widows and widowers of covid19. Shes my inspiration for why i decided to do it. Reporter it became a place for diana and whitney to go after their husbands juan and leslie died quickly from covid. You, diana, called juan the other half of my soul. How do you cope with that now with mia and with your little girl . You know, i try theres this empty silence where his words would once be, you know. I dont know if its coping, but i just kind of let myself feel that. Im thankful i have the boys. Yeah, because ultimately, i have a piece of heaven here with me here. Theyre half of him. So i got lucky that theyre here with me. And i am forever greateful for that. He was the one who gave them to me. Reporter a shared grief, but without a shared embrace, able only to comfort each other through the cold, hard screens of their computers. He was only here for 31 years, but he really did so much in those years. Reporter as the months pass and the world keeps moving on, these four women are left with their acute pain accentuated by their isolation. For weeks after he passed, i would wake up suddenly in the middle of the night, and i would reach for my Phone Thinking i missed the call. I missed the call from the hospital. And then you realize, no, you know, he already passed. You have to like tell yourself the story again. Reporter but alongside their profound grief is their deep belief that each of their husbands is looking down on them. Anything you want to say to them . Everything i do every day is to honor him. Im so glad to have spent the last 11 years of my life with him. Every time i hear him say dada, its like sitting on the couch having a cup of coffee. Their healing is only beginning but at least they now know theyre not alone. Separated by a pandemic but connected by their collective grief, they persevere. I was so struck, jim, speaking with these women. Especially because when i asked the first question, tell me about your husband, they went on and on and on for like ten minutes each pause i think they wanted to show me the full lives that their husbands lived, even in such a short period of time. And they just they opened my eyes to so much and to this profound grief for people of all ages in this crisis. I think they just want them not to be forgotten and its a reminder that number on the side of the screen, 433,216, folks just imagine thats a statistic. Of course, its not. They are real people with real loss. Yeah. And you remind us of that every day saying these are people, not statistics. And they are young people dying from this pandemic. And they, those women and all who have lost are in our hearts for sure. Were going to take a quick break. Well be right back. Were all finding ways to keep moving. And at fidelity, youll get planning and advice to help you prepare for the future, without sacrificing whats most important to you today. Because with fidelity, you can feel confident that the only direction youre moving is forward. And once again there is no stopping game stop stocks, surging as robinhood facing backlash after banning purchases by Mall Investors yesterday. And after that ban, for just regular investors they raised a billion dollars. Christine roman is here with how this is developing and exactly what is happening right now as the ceo of robinhood is out there doing the rounds defending this move theyre reversing it morning. Trying to explain why they have to put the restrictions on. The stock was moving so violently, that they have to make sure they have enough capital in reserves and cash requirements there. And this morning, robinhood has a list of restrictions for the companies. Amc, you could buy only 115 more shares and game stop only 5 and nokia. And there is two kind of themes here in terms of the online group of amateur traders taking on wall street. On the one hand theyre buying up companies that have been in the targets of short sellers and so they are crippling the short sellers and talking up stock thats are nostalgia plays. So those are the two themes. Im seeing from the s. E. C. Issuing a release telling friday that there is extreme Stock Price Volatility has a potential to cause rapid and severe losses for investors and that could undermine confidence and it is closely watching the platforms that are restricting transactions trying to mayor sure theyre doing so fairly and not disadvantaging any particular group of traders, guys. Your message for everyone going into this weekend. I just dont want anybody to lose their shirts on this, especially not experienced folks. No. This is all buyer beware. This is a game playing played out. And i know somebody who a friends son who made 20,000 on two days in game stop and paid off his student loans, woo hho come on, but this is gambling in investing at this point. The losers story far outweigh the winners. Thank you very much. A White House Briefing as the nation discovers a new variant of covid19. There is the podium there. Well bring it to you live.
