Shall observe. You will see the memorial event unfold throughout our program today. The stock market trading begins at 9 30 a. M. And were at a modest gain after yesterdays late and very big selloff, the dow is probably going to be up 90 in the modest gain for the s p of 37 on the nasdaq. That is at the open. We have no idea how the market closes today. Look at this, peloton, the stock of the day if not the week terrific Earnings Report, huge increase in sales and a rosy projection for the future. Watch that stock go. Peloton is up 9 at 97. I have three quick headlines for politics and money. Microsoft says russian chinese and iranian hackers are targeting the 2020 election. No impact on the stock of course but this is a clear warning. Joe biden is embroiled in a teleprompter dispute. Does he use one to help them answer questions. Surely that is out of balance but articulate president ial candidate. In the nfl is back completely protest into and thumbs you will see it all. September 11
Hes expected to speak this hour. Joe biden and mike pence are both attending memorial events in new york. Greeting each other with an elbow bump as their paths crossed. Biden heads to pennsylvania this afternoon and well also hear from Kamala Harris this hour. She is set to deliver remarks at a ceremony in fairfax, virginia. Todays solemn rituals come as the country confronts a tragedy that has been even deadlier. The coronavirus pandemic as of this morning has killed more than 193,000 americans. Im Hallie Jackson in washington. Joined by nbcs rehema ellis and mike memoli. Carol lee is at the white house, ali witt talvitali in virginia. The 9 11 remembrances this year look different than they have in the past, right . Indeed it does. The pan democrat sick for the pandemic is forcing americans to change the way how they remember the lives that were lost on this day. This year there is no central stage. For the last hour or so, what people have been hearing at Memorial Plaza is the prere
I dont want to jump up and down and start screaming death, death, because thats not what its about. Well, lets begin in washington. Cnn White House Correspondent john harwood joins us. We know, john, that following the revelations in the atlantic piece about the president s reported comments about the military that he was upset, concerned, tried to push back very hard. What is his level of concern now that his own words were caught on tape downplaying this .

That well always remember their names and well remember their actions that day and this was a must do. This needed to be done and im so glad it was. Sandra you wrote a piece on the 15year anniversary of 9 11. This is 19 years now since these attacks. Next year, of course, will be 20 years and it is hard to believe this time has passed. But at 15 years, brad, you wrote america is at our best when were tested as a nation.
