bret: he said this morning ryan priebus did about moderators and choosing moderators, throughout the day he dialed that back a tad. i don t know if he is a lawyer. he followed a very good lawyer s rule. if you can t get the witness to change his testimony, if you can t cross-examine him and get him to recant, at least expose his biases and police prejudices and it will be obvious to the jury. that s what he has done all week. and nobody has come to nbc s defense. not even our friend chuck todd, who gets a paycheck from them would come to their defense. on the other hand, i don t think these movies are are going to win a single vote for her. they will probably end up losing votes for her. the race is going to be determined by the republican nominee and his or her ability to state the case for change, not a movie that nbc or cnn makes. bret: when we do other republican primary debates, can i promise you that questions will be just as tough as they were the last time. yes. bret:
trading yesterday but as i was just saying, slipping back a tad. it s below $1428 at the moment. andrew? it was all about the high oil prize of 24 hours ago or so which hurt markets in the u.s. it was a pretty weak start to the week, based on high energy prices, also a lagging tech sector but the news of greece s credit rating downgrade doing nothing to help sentiment on the street. here s how the numbers settle. the dow dropping 0.66%, the nasdaq dropping 1.4. semikon duconductor makers were downgraded. what can we expect today? it looks like a higher open when trading begins later this day. this is where the market currently stands. you re looking at futures. the dupe by 0.3% no doubt helped by the weaker oil prices. staying on wall street.
