That we are looking at, much like we did yesterday where we were talking a great deal about the possibility of a new record even intraday or all time on the s p. Yesterday it was that bizarre russian vaccine news and i think we can all term it bizarre, but today its moderna signing a deal with the u. S. Government which is signing a lot of deals to make sure that there is manufacturing capacity in place to deliver a lot of doses of a vaccine if and when it does get through phase three trials into i was listening to meg tirrell this morning and i was looking at an email how much is regeneron getting. 500 million in july i would say, david, is there any amount that you wouldnt spend on these companies to get this thing beaten because if were spending 2 trillion to just try to stay in place we have got to flood the market with money. Make it so its worth wise for everybody. I have emerging bio tonight, they would be helping making a lot of these giant doses and i dont think i think that y
As big as apple and starbucks and shut down a major form of personal communication between the u. S. And china. Doubtsre increasing about an agreement on another round of stimulus. The president now expected to bypass congress with more executive orders. Microsoft leading some of the declines today. Scarlet fu has been following the market action. Talk to us about the trading moves on the back of all this tension rising between the u. S. And china. Scarlet fridays in august are not usually known to be heavy news days, but we had a jobs report today and we had President Trump stepping up his campaign against chinese Tech Companies. The stock market closed mixed with the s p and dow little changed. Between a huge contrast small caps and the nasdaq. Focus really on gold. The relentless rally in gold prices and the selloff in the dollar, the better than expected jobs report reverse that trade. Gold still finishing the week up. The dollar finished up 0. 5 . There is concern that that jobs r
I got some sleep you didnt miss much this last week. Kind of Nothing Happened not really actually. What week so much happened. What week are we in its going to be 52 for 52 at the end of 2020 in terms of crazy weeks. Thats true. S p was almost closing at a high im faking now like you. Im not in new york city do you like my backdrop . What do you think of it . Thats what im saying. You look great you look great you look fabulous. Okay. Is this are you old enough to remember huntly and brinkley what are we . What are we trying to pass our self off as here what do you think . Chancellor and tv people were probably trying all right who knows who knows. Let me tell everybody about the craziness of what happened in yesterdays market because the swings were wild stocks were up, as joe was mentioni mentioning, we flirted with the height of it most of the day but then turned late lower late we closed lower later in the day.

Happen late. These briefings of course have been quite controversial with the president sometimes contradicting the scientists standing right next to him and also pushing treatments that have not yet been proven. The president as of yesterday has started urging americans to wear masks, saying to do so is patriotic. All that said, stocks, mixed picture today. Tech leading the losses. Abigail doolittle has been breaking it down and watching the action. Abigail another jittery day and another day where this is not a satisfactory answer, it does not feel like a satisfactory answer to some. It is very hard to say that yesterday was risk off and therefore you had technology and stayathome leading, and today is risk on. If it was a strong cyclical rally and the sectors that were higher were those cyclical sectors such as energy, financials, industrials. A stronger gain has to do with that tech laws. Nasdaq down 1 . More jittery action, that tells you lots of uncertainty as we head into the st

Tell us about your relationship with facebook and free speech. Im going to throw a big question to launch this off. Guest it is good to be here again with some virtuosi. Like a lot of things you cannot just tease out any one problem of facebook dna in its origins. In the case of trump obviously it wasnt something they talked about but by the time the campaign got rolling in 2015, this became an issue for facebook blather on top of the way that it dealt with controversy and it first came out in 2015 when he po
