John malone with the legendary media icon has to say about the covid19 virus, direct to consum consumer, streaming, so many other topics we hit in our hour long shutdown. The ceo of goodrx, we had him last week, since then, amazon came into the business what does it mean for his business carl, well ask that question amongst others. Yeah, thats good stuff for this hour, guys. Jim, we talked for last week and a half about the fact that a path to the vaccine would face some setbacks and clearly new york city schools, new state of emergency in wisconsin, speak to that i think that one of the things that we needed was a bridge, which would be stimulus, to the vaccine we dont have the stimulus were getting terrible numbers, we have half the country that thinks the numbers are okay, given the fact that the death rate hasnt skyrocketed. We have the other half, were saying, look, if we dont do something about it, then the Healthcare System is going to be overwhelmed. In that scenario, it is ver
Gap, set to speak again and the fate of a preelection aid package could come by the end of today. And the race for a cure, moderna saying its experimental covid19 vaccine could be ready for emergency use in december. Carl jim, just crossing the wires now, doj has filed the suit against alphabets google, and heard you talking to becky a moment ago, reiterating what you said for a long time, this lawsuit essentially is a strange kind of value creator. Yeah, look, i mean, arguably theyre saying there are ties to exclusionary business deals that google has done. Look, google has opened the books time and again to the government it is not their first rodeo. They have understood this. If theyre trying to break up google, all theyre trying to do is exactly what ive been hoping for, which is that to bring out the value in google, you have to break it up. So if the department of justice is going that route, theyre a great investment banker. I joke with david, there is situations where the sum o
Markets sort of whipsawed by the tweets last night from the president trying to figure out exactly where we are how are investors supposed to take this today . Well, you know, i truly do believe, scott, even after the president s tweet yesterday that sent the markets down almost 500 points in a very short period of time, the last hour and 15 minutes of the day, i still belief theres the possibility we have out there, and i brought this up last time i was on with you guys, the idea i thought we would get one done by the weekend or through the weekend obviously with some of the tweets and so forth, but then the president immediately seemed to have flipped back around and be a part of this whole thing. I do think we will see a stimulus at some point in the not too distant future because of that, i think it gives you a great opportunity on that dip yesterday, and obviously youre seeing a pretty nice rise today. We know what the temperature is of the markets and what people want to hear and
Say the least after a bit of a rebound the other day when i was on with you, yesterday i was not here for what was a decline overall in all the markets. I think we are in a new era of volatility. Every single time we get an up opening people say, okay, i guess that selloff is over and when we get the printed selloff people say this selloff is going to go on for ages. I urge people to step back and recognize we are in a period where theres a lot of vacuum, a lot of people trying to buy when its going up, a lot of people trying to sell when its going down and just interpret that as just being enthusiasm, greed and then fear and accept it that its here to stay because its really the undercurrent behind these moves. Okay. And what does that mean in terms of this socalled playbook that you often offer people who listen to what you have to say sure.
