We will bring you the rest of the tech titans in a moment, just wait till you see zoom and how much its worth. Politics, you are going to see a sharp contrast in Campaign Styles today. The president continues to fly all over the place answering reporters questions whenever possible. Hes off to North Carolina today.

Postpandemic academy dominated by americas big tech companies. This friday morning, stocks are going up somewhere, can you believe that, we dont know how were going to close the session but the opening bell the dow will be up another triple digit, over 100 points, s p coming up a series of records of another nine this morning and the nasdaq made 39 records and moving higher again as of right now. That is the market, that is financial history, cue the fireworks, spectacular way to close out the republican convention, they lit up the sky over the white house after President Trump accepted the nomination for second term. It was a long speech, 70 minutes, the president made his pitch, vote for me and ill keep the streets safe and restore prosperity. Joe biden would ruin the country. You will hear it all, and then there is this, senator rand paul and his wife leaving the white house after the speech into an angry mob of demonstrators. That was intimidation that bordered the very close to re

Fauci saying the data looked promising, but its being overshadowed by everything playing out in china, whether its the situation with hong kong and what is essentially being seen as something of a power grab through a National Security lens or intentions between the u. S. And china more broadly and some of the policies that weve seen start to come in this week as well its interesting to see in general how this week has played out in the markets because reopening from a week to date standpoint has really led the way here it is the russell 2,000, the small caps which are seen as a proxy for the reopening efforts now that we have 50 state
The final hour and we did get some strong earnings from industrial names like Rockwell Automation and speaking of the president s speech, we will have the first reaction from the white house right here on closing bell.
