tv Closing Bell CNBC April 3, 2020 3:00pm-5:01pm EDT
3:00 pm
this is life in 2020 >> everybody b is welcome to my house. >> i did this wrong. >> everybody is welcome to my house. thank you all so much for watching have a good weekend where ever you are, be safe >> closing bell picks up our coverage now >> i have a coffee and water, but cheers from sara and i to you both for an outstanding show and outstanding week of coverage we still have an hour left of trade of this crazy week on wall street once again and we are sitting red at the moment for the session and week as a whole. down 1.7%. down 2.25% for the week as a whole on the s&p 500ment rhett aes have a look at what's driving the action today disstressing news on job front the first decline in nearly a decade oil continuing its rebound as president trump sits down this hour with executives from u.s. energy companies and relief on the way to some small businesses slightly haphazard way, but none is less, some are getting it, as
3:01 pm
the banks and government begin to roll out a $350 billion loan relief package >> consumer staples just turned positive rest of sectors are negative 59 minutes left of trade coming up on the show, we'll speak exclusively with jeffrey katzenberg we'll ask him about the coronavirus impact on the entire entertainment industry plus, the ceo of go daddy yoins us with a look at how small business clients are dealing with the kris and of course with job losses but we begin with breaking news in washington. president trump meeting this hour with executives from energy giants like exxon and chevron at the white house. brian sullivan joins us now with more about what we know, brian, about this meeting >> yeah. what we know, what we don't, thank you very much. a couple of things here, one of which is obvious, one less obvious. these oil executives, the ones we've talked to, that i've talk
3:02 pm
ed to off the record, said they're not looking for a bailout. they don't want any kand kind of a bailout. they're being requested to come white house, probably, everybody's suggesting, to get some kind of a deal that they're not going to destroy each other and there are some of the names. exxon, chevron, occidental, devin energy and others. they're not going to destroy each other remember there's an opec virtual meeting theoretically planned for monday trump's been talking with the saudis, so likely he's looking to round up the u.s. troops and say what's your status so he can go back to the saudis and maybe the russians and say u.s. producers agree maybe to cut back again, i'm speculating and we'll see. the other thing, guys, which is a little weird, is this idea of suspending the jones act, which requires all shipping in america to be done by american owned, american crude and american ships. you say what the heck does that have to do with oil? here's why you care. there's only about 100 jones act ships out there in the united states they're about three times more
3:03 pm
expensive to charter than foreign owned ships. so if you suspend that, it would allow american companies to use foreign flagged ships to say send u.s. oil from houston to new jersey right now, it's hard to do that or impossible so you end up buying foreign oil importing foreign oil. even when you've got too much u.s. oil so if you suspend that jones act, theer etically, i know it's admiralty law 101, if you suspend that, it might make it cheaper to move american oil between american ports >> yeah, which would sound appeal iing a at a time like th, brian. what about the opec plus meetings on monday president trump talking to joe kernen yesterday suggesting that they're going to make a deal russia and saudi arabia. what are the chances of that and what's in the market at this point? >> chances are okay, sara, as
3:04 pm
long as, not discounting what the president said, 10 to 15 million by saudi and russia isn't going to happen, but if he's talk iing about a coordinae deal where the united states, those seven executives we talked about plus the other 9700 oil producers in the united states, make some kind of coordinated effort to reduce or at least not increase output, that may soothe the saudis and russians enough that saudis can use their power to influence over opec to agree to some maybe six to seven million barrel a day cut so we have to be very clear. i've been talking to people inside the saudi coalition for the last 36 hours. the saudis aren't going to do anything unless u.s. producers are also involved, guys, to share the pain wilfred likes the term glow pec.
3:05 pm
we can call it vopec scheduled theoretically for monday and i'll be virtually covering it for real >> glow pec, both you kind of need to get the gl and vn all at once not quite sure how we managed that >> that would sound russian. >> at least brian got dressed for us today >> perfect brian, fully dressed good to see as always weekend we look forward to you at the top of the next show at 5:00 p.m. eastern time we'll keep you updated on the meeting throughout the show if there are any headlines from it. oil by the way, set for the best week ever, up 32%, but still down 54% year to date. meantime, let's drill down on the other big stories. steve liesman has more details on the dire jobs number this morning and mike is tracking today's market moves steve, kick it off for us. >> yeah, wilf, the nine-year, five movie month expansion in the job market came to an end in march.
3:06 pm
with the jobs report picking up more of the initial part of the downturn that -- already made more starting by the idea that the numbers ahead are almost certainly worse and we captured a little bit of what's happening now, but it maybe shows what the leading industries and what's going to happen. let me show you some of the sectors and eck plaxplain what'n on le hospitality. a complete collapse of the restaurant and bar business. health care social assistance. that's doctors office. dentists they closed down relatively quickly apparently along with child care support that's social assistance professional business services employment offices temporary help that all closed down retail, you see there. you know much more, much worse is to come there as well as construction let me show you the other side of the report. the household side
3:07 pm
1.5 million additional workers part time for economic reasons 1 million on temporary layoff. 250,000 more not at work because of illness and 250,000 declined in the self-employment. what can i tell you, guys? all this is about to get worse talking about jpmorgan said today, they see a jobless claims number next week of 7 million on top of the ten million who have already applied for jobless claims >> mike is joining us at the top of the next hour my question which we've been s discussing throughout the day, any way, if all of these programs the government's announced wered to try and keep people in work, to what extent with these programs going to be desperately inefficient, firing off millions of bullets just to hope that couple of them hit the target the nuances of the paycheck protection program as we've discussed does actually allow them to get a loan and have it forgiven provided they hire certain people back, but none
3:08 pm
the less, they're throwing so much money out and you're seeing unemployment rates spike significantly. >> you know, wilf, i think inside your question is the answer i covered the attempts of the prior administration to get up and running programs that would help regular people main street and it was very, very hard of course the political atmosphere was very different back then with a lot of opposition from the republican side this time, they haveeverybody together to go and do it so the issue now is you know, it's already too late in the sense that ten million people have already filed for jobless claims and there's a question as to whether or not you want to bring them back. the question is down the road, can they get this thing up and running. i know small business is desperate for the money right now. but honestly, a couple of days, two or three days, it dupt m doesn't matter as much as if they can get this thing up and running in a week's time to really provide the assistance and keep people from being unemployed even further than the large numbers we have.
3:09 pm
>> thank you the dow currently trading lower by about 411 points, so we've dropped about 100 points just in the last few minutes or so let's send it over to mike for more on today's sell off and the sell off for the week, which was small ner magnitude, but still very painful for investors >> yeah, sara, not so much as intense in velocity. more like the market has slouched lower gave back not quite half of the gains from the reflex rally. this is a two year chart there was the strong three-day rally and we've rolled over since then what areas are we looking at in terms of whether we're going to give up on this rally? well some are saying like 2450 where the downside acceleration started. so there's all these different lines you can point to and suggest that maybe that's kind of make break at least in the short-term i've had people point this out to me. december of 2018, you did also have a little bit of a rollover
3:10 pm
after an initial rally and went up from there. i would characterize that as utter best case scenario because more damage was done i don't think necessarily we can be smoothed by the federal reserve chairman as we were back then this was the high yield bond etf. these are always linked assets, but just look at how tight the leadersh relationship has been. what this means is the credit outlook is sensitive to the duration of any economic shutdown we're in right now. and that seems to be what whether there's a lead or a lag, doesn't really hmatter which one credit erosion, default rates, that part of the implication is what we're going through now is very much an acute interest to the bond market. the corporate debt market. i would say, lots of issuance of cor corporate debt >> mike, where is the consensus right now on how long this
3:11 pm
economic pain is going to last and whether investors can see over to the other side feels like until we have any sort of clarity or mass testing in the united states or antibody testing, it's really hard to figure out that question of a bottom without knowing what's going to happen to this country. >> right the consensus is confusion is the way i would characterize it right now. i don't think anybody has a very high conviction guess about what that duration looks like i think really the argument is what is the market already priced in in terms of a length of a shutdown and you know, i think it's tough to be precise about that as well but i would suggest that we're now talking about three quarters of shutdown u. that is not price d in, but something more modest than that. maybe we're in the zone, especially if you look at hardest hit sectors just getting obliterated. energy, retail, travel and the rest
3:12 pm
>> thanks for that we've got 49 minutes left. we are down 2% right on 2% on the s&p 500 as we stand for the week that means down 2.5% we have been getting some relief for small businesses we've been see iing that roll o today. and we will discuss how it's been processing with the consumer bankers soassociation ceo, rich hunt that's coming up there are times when our need to connect really matters. to keep customers and employees in the know. to keep business moving. comcast business is prepared for times like these. powered by the nation's largest gig-speed network. to help give you the speed, reliability, and security you need. tools to manage your business from any device, anywhere. and a team of experts - here for you 24/7. we've always believed in the power of working together.
3:15 pm
walmart under some pressure. breaking news on that name courtn courtney >> yes so the headlines crossing here from the here from the wus journal looks as if they were able to get some documents and walmart sales in stores are up 20% over the last four weeks while walmart.com orders appear to be up over 30% from the past eight weeks. this is according to a report from "the wall street journal" and while 30% sounds like a lot for walmart.com, i went back and looked and some of the quarterly numbers they've put up here in the u.s. here for net sales growth have been significantly above 30% in the most recent
3:16 pm
quarter, up 35%. no doubt the in store sales up 20%. very significant as walmart is a key essential retailer >> now starting today, small businesses can apply for up to $350 billion in loans available through the economic relief package from congress. many of the big banks have delayed accepting those applications citing late guidance from the treasury department but bank of america as of this morning and jpmorgan as of this afternoon are up and running with bank of america saying they've received 60,000 applications totalling $6 billion. that's as of last hour bank of america's ceo brian moynihan weighed in on cnbc earlier this morning >> it's a testimony to the speed at which we can move and so speed is of the essence here for these types of small businesses.
3:17 pm
ppe is meant to keep their payroll consistent going against some of the discussion you were swr just having on jobs and other impacts in the economy which we expect to see in april the money will start to go out the door once the applications are processed over the next short period of time >> joining us now is richard hunt, consumer bankers president and ceo. very good afternoon to you thanks so much for joining us. i guess i've been speakinging to lot of the banks this week and i know it's been a monumental tas b k to get this program up and running. some are running, some are not who's to blame for the fact we're not fully up and running as of this morning, which was the original target, wh it was too optimistic or not? >> yeah, look. here's what i do now every hour, it's getting better. we have more banks online. we expect ooen more money out the door sometimes this afternoon this is a huge effort by the banks. banks worked overnight
3:18 pm
until about 6:30 last night, they worked overnight to put all the compliance or regulations in place. and also the compliance. i'm very proud of what the banks have done so far i think this gets better next week where we're going to process hundreds of thousands of loans. that number you just quoted from bank of america, 60,000 loan applications since 9:00 a.m. the amount of loans the sba processed all of last year so we're going to do about 2 million loans in two weeks >> i know. the numbers are astonishing, rich as you said, the banks didn't get the final guidance until last night, so it's very difficult to expect all of them to have been ready and up and running. but how unfair is this potentially on certain small businesses that may have needed the money today and were expecting it today, particularly an extra factor that this is a
3:19 pm
first come first serve basis program and it's quite plausible the 350 billion could run out and some could be excluded by virtue of who happens to be their banker >> yes we are encourage eing existin t customeringing to go to the bank where you have an existing business first because we can get them through the pipeline faster so we can get to people who are newer customers to the bank. high, high buying, two to three million applications we're working night and day to make sure all small businesses who need assistance do receive it we don't think we're going to run out of money the treasury has done computations about how much payroll is needed. and if we do run out of money, i am sure congress when they return on april 20th or sometime in that area, will replenish the funds. it is our effort to move heaven and earth to protect the small businessmen and women who are the backbone of our economy.
3:20 pm
>>. >> those who are not participating in this program and if so, why do they have legal risks here that they take on or any kind of other financial risk that might make it unattractive for the banks? >> yeah, sure. so the vast majority of banks are participating if they are a sba certified lender first off we're asking all 2,000 banks to participate since it's such a a high volume to do it for those not participating, they may have liquidity problems don't know, but we're going to do everything we can from the cba standpoint to make sure small businesses can get it. we're asking for a little bit of patience again not even 24 hours into this process. we have more loans already in the pipeline than were made all of last year, we're going from $20 billion in distribution to 350 billion.
3:21 pm
every small business understands when you expand your group, it's going to take some time to get through the process. >> i want to end on a very big, broad question, which may be on fair on certain individual banks, but i think it's broadly fair on industry as a whole to say last time around, '08, '09, the banking industry was bailed out. is it fair to expect the banks this time around, regardless of what's happened in the 12 years in between, to go above and beyond and potentially take some losses expensive costs to make sure the economy keeps going. >> not only sure we're going to this is our time to help out the consumer who have been with us for decades. we're going to do the right thing. we are reaching out to small businesses everywhere. we're not waiting for them to call us. we're calling them we want to lead in this recovery we understand people are both
3:22 pm
fiphysically and po-- associate press well so this is an opportunity for the banking industry small, regional, large even credit unions to lead the way back in this economy >> richard, thanks for joining us >> thank you kate rogers has been speaking to small business owners all day, all week, about their experience with the loan program. she joins us now with the loan program. what are you hearing >> well as this program gets underway, small business owners are anxiously waiting aupdates from their lenders we spoke with the ceo of omg accessories. she's cut her staff from 20 employees down to 50 as customers cancel orders of her signature unicorn backpacks. >> i'm hoping these loans are going to give us the necessary funds to bring back all of our staff and have everything
3:23 pm
functioning the way it did before all this happened >> many of the business owners e we've spoken to are in the same boat they've prepped these applications they're anxiously awaiting any word from their banks and lenders. this program is first come first serve so as you can imagine, there's a lot of stress going on on main street i've canvassed businesses all over and i have yet to hear from one who got a loan i hope that changes because a lot of people have a lot riding on this. back to you. >> thanks so much for that developing story i'm sure we'll be back with you over the next couple of days. now news on the fed. hey, steve >> the new york fed out with its schedule for next week saying the it's going to reduce the amount of treasuries from 75 billion down to $50 billion. and also the amount of mortga s
3:24 pm
mortgages, from 30 to 40 billion down down 25 billion for monday and maybe a part of next week. i think there's two reasons what's going on here one is there has been as you reported, will f and sara, some improvement in the credit markets but also some negative things, the fed buying so much for example. the mortgage bankers have been squeezed as a result of that, so there's some backing off by the fed, which is a good sign for some improvement in the credit markets. >> steve, thank you very much. >> i'll take it, steve we saw treasury yields tick up on that news just a bit from the lows of f the session. we've got here just about 36 minutes left of trade. take a look at stocks now. the s&p is down 2% the dow is down 2% 426 points all the sectors are in the red consumer staples are sort of flat utilities and financials at the bottom of the pile up next, we'll speak with the ceo of go daddy about the impact that covid-19 is having on his
3:25 pm
company's bottom line and how his customers, which are all small business, are doing. we'll be right back. have you noticed how well all the departments have been working together since we've gone mobile with the now platform? there's no friction at all. it's neat to see the office running so smoothly. servicenow. the smarter way to workflow. but right now, the world needs all the good that we can do. to everyone working to keep america strong, thank you.
3:27 pm
welcome. thank you for joining us i think you have what, 19 million clients, most of which are small businesses what are you seeing out there in terms of the pain? >> thank you for having me go daddy has over 19 million customers and many are micro businesses ch smaller than small. the domain and website are
3:28 pm
essential tools especially in this time with foot traffic being low, small businesses need to be online to get word out and the services we offer tend to be amongst the last things that customers give up. in terms of what we see with our mers themselves, it's a difficult time for our customers and godaddy being in the fortunate position that it is in in terms of our offerings, we're just focused on doing the most we can by puttinging offers out there that they can use this this difficult time. >> to what extent have you seen websites and e-mail traffic pick up because of the work from home culture that's in place at the moment >> in particular segments we're definitely seeing websites pick up in the nonessential segments, we're seeing a bit lower traffic to websites, but what we see is a ton of businesses expressing interest to get online and frankly a ton of businesses wanting to know what offering is out there for them so, we've put together a resource center for
3:29 pm
them of open we stand.org where small and micro businesses can come and look at our offers from godaddy and our partners and find the offers that work for them at this moment, this is critical for them >> unfortunately, we had a pretty bleak preview with the b jobs report today of which industries are getting hit the hardest. lieu sure and hospitality at the top of the list. which businesses do you see being able to weather it better and just overall ability to survive? >> yes, i think leisure and hospitality is hurt u. in terms of businesses that can survive, what we are finding is really, really innovative sort of offerings from our customers. they're quickly moving to shipping products. to offering services online and we need to do that in every
3:30 pm
sector and if we do that that, we're going to see better results aa cro across the board we made sure we keep our employees safe, we keep them purposely working and we give them financial certainty so we're not rlaying off anyone. that allows our employee base to really focus on creative solutions for our customers. >> i would imagine that the cost subscription to go daddy for providing a website or domain name is probably pretty small for a small business as a percentage of total cost it's also probably pretty crucial. you'd think it's the last thing they want to cut to rent which may might not be using their building anymore that said, are you having to have conversations with those business owners? are they seeking flexibility because you might be able to offer it to them in a way rent may not be given that level of flexibility?
3:31 pm
>> these assets that are domain name, really the last thing you want to give up. especially in these times. but for customers with hardship suppo support, we are offering capabilities we see low turn rates historically and low turn rates now. i want to it will you about businesses that are formed in hard times the reason we think our business at godaddy is resilient is because we looked at the past because we know businesses are formed and close in good times and bad. when we look at 2008 during the financial crisis, the businesses formed at that time did as well as the businesses that were formed in 2007 in fact, yesterday at our annual -- we shared those businesses have spent 1.5 billion with us so we feel this is a great time to come onloin and start a business we can't forecast what the
3:32 pm
recovery will be, but i think people, human creativity will take over and people will form great ideas. >> how do you think about what this is going to mean for your own bottom line and your own forecast i know you held a virtual investor day what did you tell investors who see the headlines about small business shutting down and therefore, think that's going to severely impact your own business >> yes, so what we've told investors yesterday is that we see minimal impact in q1 and 25 to 30 million which is small in terms of revenue but we created the resilient nature of our business, the fact that the products we offer, 18, $20 on average for a year for a domain name, little very a website. the return for our customers is huge so we feel the business is resilient and we reenforced the guide for 2022, where we said look at the past we think this will be over at a
3:33 pm
certain point and for 2022, we actually called it the 411 on godaddy. which is in 2022, 4 billion in revenue on an organic basis so that sort of gives you an idea of how strongly we feel about this business over the long-t m long-term. >> thank you for joining us. >> thank you very having me. >> appreciate it 28 minutes left of the trading session. take a look at the s&p sector heat map the one green spot in the market right now, consumer staples. just barely positive utilities and financials are the hardest hit followed by communication services and technology the three outperforming sectors today, consumer staples, energy and health care, the only three that are positive so far this week energy at the top of the list. up almost 6% for the week. but obviously, wilfred, has been brutally hit down 50% so far for the year >> and to all those that said
3:34 pm
you think oil is going to bounce buy the commodity rather than betting on x which companies, energy sector only up 6% time for a coronavirus update. scott wapner has it for us >> appreciate it the u.s. supreme court says it will not be hear iing the oral arguments it had scheduled for this month nbc news reporting that court will decide all its cases this term based only on the written briefs among those cases is the fight over president trump's financial records. france's death toll has now surged above 6500 as partial data on deaths in nursing homes get added to that total. total cases now above 6400 new york governor cuomo says he is using his authority to seize medical equipment from private hospitals and companies that aren't using them to relieve severe shortages >> i'm not going to let people die because we didn't
3:35 pm
redistribute ventilators the national guard are going to be deployed to pick these up, which are all across the state and deploy them to places where we need them sx >> that's the governor of new york for more, head to cnbc.com >> and be sure to tune in tonight's special report with scott, the path forward. 7:00 p.m. eastern time he'll . still to come, jeffrey kstzebberg's company set to debut and also the coronavirus impact on hollywood and the world of entertainment here's a check in on bonds treasury yields taking a yield lore the benchmark yielding around 0.61% as we stand. we'll be right back.
3:38 pm
23 minutes left of trade here is where we stand on friday afternoon trade. stocks are lower akrcross the board. s&p's down b about 2%. off the worst lows of session. still down 455 points. all sectors now are lower and we are looking to end the week lower after last week's rally. up next, we're going to dive deeper into today's sobering jobs number. 701,000 jobs lost in this country and how much worse the unu employment situation could get in america
3:40 pm
3:41 pm
into an all in yes. allegra. live your life, not your allergies. welcome back today's dismal jobs report only reenforcing the pain in the economy. paul, great to see you as always or list ton you as always. what do you make of the pace with which we've seen unemployment claims spike and clearly a disappointing jobs number this morning and what that means for whether we're going to have to see bigger or different government support programs >> i think what the job data tells us and what everything else that we can look at the
3:42 pm
window and see tells us is that we are at war. our country has to think in terms of being on war footing. and essentially, the american people are being drafted in fighting this war, fighting this virus but being told to stay home so you can look at the unemployed as unemployed or look at them as draftees into a war against the virus. and accordingly, i think it's going to get worse because we can't let the draftees go back to work until we win the war and between here and there, it is the moral duty of our country effectively to pay them. there are lots of various ways to do that but if you look at the unemployed people as draftees in a war against the coronavirus, then it's pretty logical that
3:43 pm
the bank of uncle sam, which is the combination of the treasury and the fed, needs to send out checks and send them out with all haste. that simple. >> and we're seeing them do that, paul can we look to any historical precedent to figure out how long it can take to come back from this hole or are we just in totally uncharted territory? >> i think that we're uncharted territory when you're looking at historical experiences but i think that we can apply logic here in that we have our economy in a state of suspended animation and that will last until we win the war. but on the other side, we will want to go back to being a vibrant, growing, capitalistic economy, so that's basically the game plan and between here and there, we need to keep our capacity as an economy, which is
3:44 pm
not just machines but organizations intact so we want to keep it so when we can go back to normal times, then we have an infrastructure broadly defined that's ready to go the real sort of disaster which can be avoid and i think will be avoided, is to allow the infrastructure of our economy broadly defined to be destroyed during this war we just simply need to sustain it financially and organizationally, which is why i'm such a huge fan of the small business program because essentially, it means that even if your workers can't come to work because they didn't have any work to do, keep them on the payroll as draftees in this war against covid and uncle sam will
3:45 pm
pay their salary it makes a world of sense so as on the other side, we have a going concern economy. >> pa >> paul, to that point though, how easy will it be to go back to a fully normal economy? it would be a nice problem to have as it were because we got through the worst of it, but how hard is it going to be for the government to remove some of these policies once people have experienced them >> i think it's going to be very difficult, actually. and the also going to be intensely political, which otherwise is known as democracy in action. in that what we've exposed is the severe holes we have in our social safety net and in emergency time, we can flood those holes for being displayed and i think the american people will learn that we have more
3:46 pm
capability than we thought we did from the standpoint of enhancing the social safety net so that will be the political tug of war on the other side if you want to scale back because we are a capitalist economy, but sat the same time, i would like b to believe that we will have a more enlightened, a kinder, gentler, if you will, safety net on the other side and i think that's what we're going to get i think that's direction of the country. when we come out of this thing, we want not just to go back to quote unquote normal but a better normal from this standpoint of social justice >> paul, thanks for joining us >> thank you >> up next, we bring you uninterrupted coverage of the b nafil minutes of trade when we take you inside the market zone. stay with us what do you see? we see a billion more people breathing free. we see access to fresh food being the global norm, not the exception.
3:47 pm
3:48 pm
3:49 pm
you should be mad they gave this guy a promotion. you should be mad at forced camaraderie. and you should be mad at tech that makes things worse. but you're not mad, because you have e*trade, who's tech makes life easier by automatically adding technical patterns on charts and helping you understand what they mean. don't get mad. get e*trade's simplified technical analysis. we're not closing bell market mike here to break down these crucial moments of the trading
3:50 pm
day and today, we've got credit suisse strategist as well. >> another volatile week for stocks with the dow, s&p 500 and nasdaq all on pace to post their third week of losses u.s. payrolls fall iing by 701,0 in march and the unemployment rate increasing to 4.4% from 3.5% the report mark iing the first decline in growth since september 2010 jonathan, the reaction actually you know stocks started off the morning strong, looked like we were going to have an up day and even with down day of 2%, it's not the sort of eight or nine or 10%. how do you think the market now is going to be processing these very ugly data releases?
3:51 pm
>> it's funny t the vix which is still at extraordinary levels, has come down quite a bit, which means that we're less likely to see these 5 to 10% kind of moves, but still a 3% move up or down on a given day is quite disruptive and in many cases, it's almost independent of the news flow. if you look at the last two weeks on the days when you had these horrific unemployment claims, the market traded up so a bit of a disconnect from day-to-day between the news and the market reaction. >> mike, with nine minutes left in trade, we've been hopping around got down to 2.5, now to 1.4% so clearly a lot of market making happening >> there's there's been a lazy bid late in the day the past few days. i don't know if i want to make too much of that, but the market is basically in a slower way, just acting a little heavy this
3:52 pm
week and it was not surprising it was going to give back some of that very strong three-day bounce but here we've given back more than a third of it and i think we're going to come to a level where perhaps either buyers have to step and really want this or just more kind of a visual for those lows. that's going to be the debate coming out of the weekend. >> mike, you know what, i just wanted to bring up something interesting this week, which is a huge divergence in sector performance for the market i mean you see groups like utilities and financials for the week down 7% 6.5% then energy, staples and health care higher by a few percentage points. what does that tell you? >> there's some separation going on this is not just the wholesale get me out it's a little more >> i'm just going to interrupt president trump been in that meeting with the oil ceos. let's listen in to some of the comments >> the industry as the pandemic
3:53 pm
brought on by global economy it's an incredible thing that's happened nobody thought this was possible we had the greatest economy in the world. probably were doing all of the best ever. everybody was doing the best ever then all of a sudden, they said you have to shut down the country and had to shut down the world because the whole world shut down. not the country. the whole world. 151 countries. probably is higher than that now. that was as of a week ago. so the entire world has shut down, trying to get rid of this scourge and we'll do it. i thought what i might do is go a around the room and if you'd just introduce yourself to the media real quickly then we'll have a discussion. our $2.2 trillion relief package includes provisions to allow businesses to deduct their losses this year against taxes which gets you a lot of liquidity and a lot of xaeps need it right now and hopefully,
3:54 pm
we'll be back in business very soon we're going to be open very soon this country wasn't built to be closed and essentially, we have a closed country nobody's ever heard of a thing like this, but this was a, it was something the leading proflsales and they say not since 1917 has there been anything like this 1917 was a time when i guess you could say 50, 75 or 100 million, people died. 100 million. maybe 100 million people died so they had no communications they weren't able to shut things down like we are doing but that was a plague. that was a plague. started here, actually went to europe we were badly afgt aed, but europe was really affected so that was the worst and so not since 100 years ago, more than 100 years ago, has a thing like this happened. i want to start by say iing it's an honor to be with you. i know most of you one way or the other. i know all of you by seeing you
3:55 pm
on the covers of all the business magazines and the magazines and you've done a great job and we'll work this out and we'll get our energy business back. i'm with you 1000% honestly, you've been very fair. you've kept prices reason bable for a long period of time. we've done gone a long period of time with reasonable energy prices so i want to thank you all for being here and maybe we'll start with mike. please >> all right mike wood with chevron corporation, mr. president proud of the work our people are doing to support health care providers, first responders and all the other vital industries that keep our economy going. thank you. >> thank you very much >> vicki thank you for allowing us to be here today and thank you for all you're doing >> thank you very much thank you, vicki >> dave from devin energy. independent owned gas company out of oklahoma city thank you so much for the leadership you're providing during this challenging time you're the right man at the right time to balance the
3:56 pm
priorities and we're going to be back p we'll get it done, david, thank you very much. >> mr. president, again thank you for great leadership in this pandemic crisis and all that you've done on the stimulus package. really for the american economy. proud of our employees, they're working to provide nrnl and improve lives. >> we think it's going to come back quickly it's ready and we've got the right packages out there. so we're looking at a, i think we're going to be really looking very seriously at an infrastructure package, where it's so important for our country. as of this moment, darren, we have 7 trillion plus in the middle east for what for what reason. and we don't put money in our county country, so we're going to do a big package on infrastructure fairly soon i think.
3:57 pm
>> darren woods, exxon mobil i'd like to add my appreciation and i think all our companies are in line with your objective, which is to get the economy moving and make lives around the world better >> thank you >> darrell, chairman of continental resources also out of oklahoma city thanks for having this moeeting it's to timely and necessary really appreciate your leadership also the friendship that you've kept with the saudis saudi prince and also putin. i know those haven't been easy sometimes, but at this time, it was particularly needed. i we're about 10,000 companies of individuals it's great, great
3:58 pm
job you're doing i think putin and the crown prince want something to happen badly. it's certainly terrible for them, too. i've spoken to both of them and we'll tell you about that later on thank you very much. >> jeff hildebrand, founder of chairman of appropriate energy we're the only private company here this is the company that's base ed in houston. domestic only exploration of production company and i'm really here today to represent the independent energy companies. the family owned businesses that are in this industry and to give you really that perspective and add to the conversation in that regard. so thank you for your leadership appreciate it. >> appreciate it >> mr. president energy transfer. we're the only -- company so we try to do business with everybody in this room
3:59 pm
i'm pleased to do it actually. so. >> president trump hosting a number of executives from the oil industry at the white house today to talk about that industry's big problem with the sharply lower price of oil and the shutting down of the economy as a result of the virus we'll monitor for you, see if any head loins come out as they relate to the price of oil and the president's energy policy. in the meantime, you've been lookinging into the market internals and energy has been a big part of the story this week. >> they have and definitely to the upside that's one of the reasons that the up versus down volume on the exchange today is more mixed than just profoundly negative. it's about 3-2 on the negative side really just persistent selling in the russell 2000. it's almost back to its lows for this run >> thanks so much for that
4:00 pm
24 seconds left of the session for today and the week and we are down 1.5% as we stand on the s&p 500. dow down 1.8%. 384 points lower the low of the session was down about 538 points well off the lows as we approach the close. the s&p down 2% for the week 1.6% today some real dif rentuation over the course of the week as a whole with utilities and financials down 7% for the week versus energy and consumer staples up 3 or 4%, but at the close today, we are down 1.5% on the s&p 500 down 2.1% for the week as a whole. sara >> and welcome back, everyone, to closing bell. if you are just joining us, we're here with mike take a look at how we finished up the day of trading. down for the dow 1.67% so really off the e lows of the session that was a loss of 358 points on
4:01 pm
the day. the s&p 500 losing 1.5%, down 38 points we started the morning little bit higher looks like we were going get an up day then it sort of fell apart. we close d off the highs. nasdaq down 1.5%, the small caps, russell 2000, also lower on the day t been underper foming and it did today. down 3%. banks are a big part of that index and they were some of the hardest hit part of the market today and as on the week as a whole, some of the safe spots also the yutilities, real estate some of those places where people go when bond yields are lower as we've been seeing they got hit pretty hard coming up this hour, fameded hollywood producer, jeffrey katzenberg is with us to discuss his new streaming service. how he plans to compete in this very competitive industry as that service prepares to go l e
4:02 pm
live >> jonathan golub and michael peroli joins us as well. looking forward to lahis latest estimates on the economy mike, to you first of all. you mentioned how we'd seen a bit of buying into the close on certain days, but again on other weeks, we've seen selli ining io the close on a friday afternoon. i guess you can frame it as quite encouraging. >> you can take it that way. for the week, down 2% for the s&p 500. down about 5% from the highs of the prior thursday, which was after that really strong bounce. and you can look at it and say wow the market did absorb a lot of awful news. yes, some expected, but did not fall apart that being said, didn't really prove much of anything that that investors collectively see great value here just because the outlook is still opaque so i think you have to reserve judgment as to whether that low from last week is going to be truly important and decisive one for this run, but not a terrible
4:03 pm
showing i would say for a down 2% week in the s&p >> so jonathan, if you add it up, we're down what, 27% or so from the high. dow down 29% from the record high tally the damage for us. just what kind of bad dmus is factored in there in terms of the economy and jobs and this virus, which is picking up steam in many parts of the country >> if you look at the last two weeks or so, it's really been a battle between a deteriorating situation and unbelievable stimulus on the part of both the fed and the u.s. government and i would stha this round goes to the u.s. government if not for their actions, this would be substantially worse. if we look at what first quarter earpings are tracking to be,
4:04 pm
it's something probably down 15 to 20% in the first quarter based on the way the analysts are being adjusted and the first quarter is going to be nowhere near as bad as the second given that january and february weren't really affected. so that's going to be the story over the next couple of weeks and i think the market is going to have a harder time because the good news from the government and fed is probably more behind us than ahead of us. >> mike, lots of employment related data over the last couple of days sum up your latest expectations of the realistic level of unemployment in this country and where it's heading for the next couple of months >> yeah, the news over the last two days has been much worse than was anticipated and we are in the process of rethinking just how high the unemployment rate can get, but certainly double digits now seems to be b a more reasonable expectation for the unemployment and we may get there as soon as we're able
4:05 pm
to ort report, which will be reported a month from, not a month from now so we had you know expegting a little weakness from the first half of march. this morning, we saw a lot of weakness in first half of march and that was many times on this program today, the survey that predated this big jump in jobless claims we could see a double digit unemployment rate and job loss in excess of ten million pr one month so, certainly the news is coming in you know fast and bad and so i think we're all in the process right now of marking down our expectations with the economy to do here in the second quarter. >> i mean we have to process that more than 10 million job losses in the month of april? the unemployment rate double digits how do you think about how that
4:06 pm
reverses can those jobs come back on the other side of this >> the last two weeks, we saw ten million initial jobless claims that's for two weak weeks out of four or five for the month a claim doesn't map one for one into a job loss, but it might be pretty close this time and again, we have a couple more weeks of 24. how do we recover ipg the first part is obviously public health measures have to sk seed. and then the stimulus will help and hopefully enough businesses have liquidity buffers to survive through this and hopefully the sfus can provide in that regard we're thinking the government may need to do more before all is said and done just given the magnitude of loss of income we're experiencing in april and probably into may. >> mike, even if we're all
4:07 pm
discussing terrifying forecasts like that already, can the market really bottom until we actually see that reported, whether that's a couple of weeks from now or a month from now to get the firm next unemployment rate >> it's unclear, wilf. obviously when you go down 30 something percent from an all time high, obviously the market was in its way, bracing for something like this, but until you really do have i think the metrics and enough data to where you're able to track the trajectory of the economic pain and when we might see things improve, it's just almost a guess to say whether the market has figured that out yet i think there's wear and tear on psychology as we go through and kind of absorb all this new information. i think we have to see how the market does and what happens on the credit side of things that keep coming back because the longer it goes, the more companies fall by the wayside in terms of insolvency and things likethat
4:08 pm
that's where things break along the way as we wait for things to bottom out and get better. >> it's been another wild week on wall street let's check in with bob pisani for all the biggest movers over the day and the week, bob. >> wide despairty between the winners and losers if you take a look at the sector laggards, it's all those impacted by people who couldn't pay their mortgages or utilities frek, so banks, retail, ewe t l utilities and re its retailers, problem is nobody's in the stores right now. if you look at the dow lagrd, boeing's moving toward it is lows that it had a couple of weeks ago. new rait ontrading j.pmorgan is is lucky. home depot down 6% gainers for the week, energy is a a standout nobody believes that's going to last, wu but the rest of the group is defensive the dow gainers is a very odd
quote
4:09 pm
group. obviously chevron and exxon, but walmart, cat pill lear was an outstanding stock and johnson & johnson up 8%. we did rally into the close four of the last five trading days. lower volatility guys, have a good weekend. >> you, too. thank you. meantime, energy executives have been meeting with president trump. aim eamon, what is the update? >> that meeting is going on now and we've been talking about the potential talking points the president just hit on one of those, this idea of filling up the straenlgic petroleum reserve. saying hey, look, oil prices are as cheap as they've been in decades. now is the time to really fill up that reserve. he said we should fill every nook and cranny with oil that we can right now. the president also hear frg senator cramer from north dakota here an interesting one because cramer was say iing the united
4:10 pm
states spending billioning of dollars a year in defense and security for middle east rn country, but didn't name it, but clearly implying saudi arabia, saying why should we continue to spend all that money on defense for these countries if their going to treat us that way so there's some real frustration here that you're hearing from some of the members of congress who are meeting with the president about the u.s. saudi relationship and what the saudis have done in terms of oil prices around the world that's really impacting some people in north dakota, which is senator cramer's home state, so a lot of tension there in the room the big thing is going to be whether they can come up u with any kind of dmomestic production cuts back to you. >> thank you jonathan, energy, is that a reliable source of strength for the market going forward now this president trump has been meeting with his executives and has been geting involved in this stand off between saudi arabia and russia
4:11 pm
>> well, fifrl, oil prices are up 40% from 20 to 28 over the last couple of day ss a very positive thing what we think about as higher gas prices may be, the u.s. is oil exporter and there are other industries that actually benefit and it keeps people employed in important areas of the economy, but everything cyclical, energy, material, industrials, if we have a weaker economy, they're quoing to come under pressure independent of what happens between saudi arabia and russia. >> how important is the small business program that began today and if we see that really take off in terms of saysful loan issuance to small businesses over the next week, could that spend the big spike we've seen in unemployment data? >> it could. i think the idea behind it is well structured in terms of getting basically giving company money so long as they keep their
4:12 pm
payroll close to previrus levels i think the question, the big question and we'll find out if it's really hard the to tell, but i think the question we'll find out about is is whether that will actually be effective in terms of the structures it's complicated when you have almost 5.5 million small businesses many of whom don't have banking relationships or relationships through the small business administration so i think if for those companies that actually ak cements this murngs i think it should help. the question is whether it will reach enough companies and it can be done quick enough in time to save those jobs >> we'll leave it there, guys. >> that's a live question. >> thanks for joining us >> still to come, congressman ro khanna discusses a group of small businesses that may be running into roadblocks as they
4:13 pm
4:14 pm
4:15 pm
billion market cap bank, $7 billion in assets. talk us through it how many applications have you had for this ppp loan program and are we right in saying you've already got one loan out the door and to your customer? >> great being with you guy us again today. yes, that's true we've gotten over 2,000 applications through 3:00 today. we were one of the first banks that reached out to our clients and started the process of building an application process and we believe we were one of the first to go through the door at the sba, get to confirmation number and fund our first sba loan supporting our local communities and we're so very proud to be a part of this program. >> well congratulations on making that work relatively smoothly 2,000 applications as of 3:00 p.m. today how many small business clintds
4:16 pm
do you have and where are you expgting that number to get over the next week? >> at connect one, we have an app, 10,000 business relationships so we don't know how many are going to apply for this program or not. certainly anyone who is going to apply, we encourage them to. we've had a an outreach out to our clients as to what they should do, how they should do it we've set aup portal to take in that information we expect the number to rise we also have a digital platform which we puchls ed last year which has over 10,000 applications on it and over $2 billion worth of loan applications on that platform. so we are affect iing quite a f clients. both here in the new york metro market locally with connect one bank and through bo fly on a
4:17 pm
national basis >> final question. do you think this program is going to work? do you think it's going to prevent more layoffs in companies going out of business? >> i think this program is incredibly elegant i think it's exactly the right thing we needed at the right time i think for small businesses to know they can stay in business if next couple of months, that they can pay their employees, give benefit to the folks who have helped them build their businesses, to be able to pay their rent, their mortgages, their light bills, their all their other expenses and then to have them paid while we're doing through this crisis, this is a really elegant way to keep the economy aploet and hope for better kay days. >> much preeappreciate it.
4:18 pm
>> thank you bye bye. we're going to stick with story here sochlt businesses with 500 employees or less are eligible for the small business loan program however, some venture and equity backed start ups could miss out on that relief our next guest is trying to make sure those companies get protected. joining us now is representative ro khanna from california. thank you for joining us so, just to be clear, are companies, small businesses, backed by venture capital exclude fd from this program? zpl initially because of the i filluation meaning if you had a venture capital investor in your start up, then you had to count not only the employees in your start up, but the employees of every start up that it was invested in, and that would be more than 500. fortunately, speaker pelosi and i wrote to steve mnuchin
4:19 pm
others called him as well. and my understanding is he has made it clear when it comes to the venture capital start ups, that he is going to waive that affiliation rule for this program. still waiting for the final guidance but if that happens, the start up community would be able to apply >> so you're not accusing the white house of purposefully excludeding. >> no, i think this has been the rule on the books for many, many years. the problem is that in a situation like this, they needed to modernize those rules i mean let's be clear who's going to get hurt. if start ups don't get these loans, the venture capitalists aren't going to get hurt they're going to be sitting on their hundred million dollar funds. the people that are going the lose their jobs are the administrative assistant as, the engineer engineers. the blue collar workers. first of all, venture
4:20 pm
capitalists aren't in the charity business so they may not get the money and second e, they may insist on layoffs to get the money so if we want these start ups to be able to maintain their payroll, they should be able to qualify tr these lopes >> give us a sense of what you're hearing from the start ups in california with the state pretty much shut down. it has been now for a while. it was one of the earlier states to do so how much pain is there out there? >> it's very hard. there's already the concept of the valley of death. for the first few years, they lose money the hardest time you had add to that this hit wrrks as a lot of start ups have gotten almost no revenue and they're really hurting we're talking about thousands of jobs in fact one report estimated that the total start ups of this were a million jobs potentially
4:21 pm
that could be lost i appreciate your previous guest as a bank getting these out. this is a matter of days they're making decisions on layoffs or not. >> yeah, we've heard all sort of reports. some have gone smoothly. some have hiccups. i want to ask you about the next potential phase of this relief package. what are you hearing how close are we heard everything from infrastructure to industries like cruise ships and restaurants that need to be included what are you fighting for? >> certainly infrastructure has to be part of it and for science and technology as well this was a public health crisis. i wish we had invested more in going after vaccine development and invested more in the cdc so we had tests infrastructure. the cdc is 1.5 of the amount we
4:22 pm
put in national defense aingd most americans realize now we need more public health protection to keep us safe the second thing is look the president talked about expanding medicare for those who were unemployed i want support him if he's serious about that if people have lost their health care, there are going to be almost 30 million people unemployed, why don't we give them medicare? that would cost less than all of the bout we did for industry my focus is this this is public health crisis. how do we make the appropriate health investments >> yeah, i mean it sounds like things are moving in a bipartisan way for a change, which is very good to see. prz. >> you know, that has been one thing that is true look, this is not a crisis that's political there are people literally dying. there are almost 40 people who have died in my district over 5,000 americans who have died and people are hurting they're losing their businesses.
4:23 pm
that they've spent their whole lives building they're struggling to pay rent they're wondering how they're going to pay their bills politics really doesn't matter at this time we're all americans. we need to just come together and do the best we can for people >> amen to that. congressman, thank you for join ing me ro khanna from california. quibby is making a big bet on mobile video streaming just as americans are confining themselves at home coming up, we will talk to founder and legendary hollywood producer, jeffrey katzenberg, about his plans to take it public as a reminder, you can always watch or listen to us live on the go on the cnbc app closinging bell one will be right back

4:26 pm
stocks chllose ining lower. let's send it to mike looking at daily infection growth and how it's been impacting the market >> investors have been b grasping for ways to rationalize and track the viral outbreak and what it means for the markets and how they relate to one another. this is from jason hunter at jpmorgan and it plots the number of countries with daily case
4:27 pm
growth that exceeds 10% so this is kind of the prevalence of highly fast accelerating viral outbreak along with the volatility index for stocks. now this is tracked pretty -- the shutdowns are going to last globally, it makes sense that the volatility index might have some links to it, but take it for what it's worth because hopefully not too long from now, the number of these countries is going b to be close to zero. the vix is not going to get close to zero. it shows one other thing the market is trying to track. in early 2009, it was the peaking of the foreclosure, single home foreclosure rate that roughly coincided with when the stock market bottomed. even though it wasn't going to get better for a very long time. >> that is amazing chart very indicative. strong correlation thank you. hollywood has been shutdown by the coronavirus. up next, we will ask jeffrey
4:28 pm
4:29 pm
4:30 pm
the dow losing 1.69% certainly off the worst levels of the session at one point, it was down more than 550 points. s&p having a rally, finishing lower by 1.5%. it was the u russell 200 index of small caps that was down double 3% ending the week lower for stocks overall, but not the kind of declines we've been used to getting down a little less than 2% for the week wraeking news here on jet blue phil >> we are about a half hour away from the deadline for air loins to submit an application to the treasury department seeking f d funds in that 25 billion that's been set aside in cash grants.
4:31 pm
jet blue's ceo out with a letter to all of the employees at jet blue essentially saying we have applied to the treasury department we now enter into negotiations not saying how much they are asking for nor what they are offering in terms of stock warrants or equities within jet blue, but a couple of interesting notes within this letter one being they still are seeing more money going out the door in terms of f cash then coming in in terms of refunds versus new tickets being booked and also that the end of this, they make it clear it's uncertain what they will get from treasury and because of that, fewer hours to work for everyone and far fewer flights. total pay is likely to go down for both salary and hourly crew members. this is their way of saying we're glad to have the help from the government not sure how much we're dwoipg to get, but there are going to have to be changes from the structure of the airline because right now, this is an
4:32 pm
unsustainable business model for all the airlines the numbers are just staggersing in terms of the losses they've seen there are zero new bookings. >> thank you for that. now as people are adhering to stay at home protocols, nielsen finding americans streamed 400 billion minutes of television in the first three weeks of march up 87% for the same time a year ago. starting monday, viewers will have another streaming option with the launch of quibby. very good afternoon to you, jeffrey. thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. hope you all are safe and healthy. >> we are and like wooids we hope you are too jeffrey, we're going to get to qui brbby in a moment, but i wae the start if i may on the impact of covid-19 on the broader entertainment industry on hollywood more generally.
4:33 pm
how lasting will the damage be to sub sectors like movie theatres >> i think as for all of us, the situation is just changing every day and i don't believe i have a you know, a, i still all of us think have got a couple of tough months there are things that are going to have permanent changes, not just temporary adjustments but it's so early for us to you know, sort of look at a crystal ball and think we know what the
4:34 pm
world is going the look like four, six, eight months from now let alone a year or two from now. certain ly the industry has hunkered down. doing its best to keep iing the network and cable and streaming services are up and run ining ad delivering content to the viewers, but beyond the short-term, i don't have any real insight for you >> jeff fry, there's been a debate over the last couple of years about big screen motion pictures and whether they should all go on in movie theatres before they reach streaming services like netflix. do you think this might change that debate permanently? we've seen some movies have their release date kept and just go straight to streaming others like the james bond movie, like mulan from disney have been pushed back in the hope that movie theatres will be up and running again before too long >> i maybe have a slight sli different point of view about this i don't think these things are loosely exclusive. i think the idea of there being any great moviegoing experience
4:35 pm
of these certainly big high-end, big broad entertaining movies, i think there's a place for them today and there'll be a place for them tomorrow and i think there will be a place for them you know five or ten years from now. the analogy i would make is maybe where sports was if you think about it, 25 years ago, the yankees were playing at yankee stadium all of the new york tristate area was blacked out. you can't actually watch it on tv the fact is that you know fill up the stadium with 55,000 people, you don't have to black out 8 million people to have a successful business aingd sports found a way to embrace both a live experience and also to have a very robust experience for a broader audience and i think the movie business is now ready to embrace that idea that movies,
4:36 pm
movie theatre business that's not -- access to be seen maybe not day in day, but certain ly - >> remind us who you're target audience is. or kind of like those netflix numbers we mentioned at the top. because it's an at home service, whether it might be helpful environment. >> it's very specifically been created, designed for the 18 to 44-year-old, ma lillennial audie and there's no question i think meg whitman and myself and the
4:37 pm
three, four weeks ago look add at what was ahead of us. to continue on with the launch of it. people as you say right now today, i don't think we've ever as a country ever faced anything as dire and is impacting our day-to-day life. in such a really, really difficult time >> from day one, we've talked about it over the last year, year and a half, has been designed to inform and entertain and inspire people and we have been a able to gather together the absolute top, top best talent show and story tellers in hollywood to create a premium content unlike anything anyone has ever seen before all u designed to be beautiful on this phone.
4:38 pm
and our decision was that this is a moment in time they really need a distraction to have these places in the course of our days right now, where you know we're not hunkerhunker hunkered down home schooling our kids not answering e-mails, on video calls. that giving people these breaks in the course of their day as we all shelter in and to provide a little laughter and enterta entertainment, a little break from hard things we're dealing with their timing might be in many ways an opportunity. we decided that we were going to give it free to everybody for 90 days recognizing these are such difficult and unsettling times.
4:39 pm
we're going the make it available to everybody starting on monday. anybody can download the app and have it for the next 90 days >> there are so p other distractions we have and have been paying for. isn't the whole premise it was supposed to be for people on the go, they don't have time isn't that at odds with the world we're living in right now? >> no, not at all. i think here's what, here's how i would say, which is yes, it was designed for get up every day, leave your home and take a telephone with you, which is now a television and this is for those in between times. when you're waiting at school to pick up your kids. when you're online at starbucks. those were the in between times we had today, we actually have as many now, i'll make an argument, you have more in between times, they're just different and

they're different in that you're sheltered in and you're day is preoccupied with what are still a number of different activities that we have depending on whether you're locking after children or involved in business day-to-day, but you have many, many times during a course of the day, which you've got a five or ten minute break i can tell you for me, i don't have the time during the day to sit down and watch an episode of tiger king that, i do when i've got an hour or two when i can sit down and enjoy a series and so you know it's quite different and so i believe quibi is actually going to arrive at a moment in time in which it actually is going to you know, serve an opportunity >> tiger king, jeffrey, has captured the imagination of so many people in the last couple of weeks will you need one of your shows to do the same for this to be a success or is it more broadly
4:41 pm
that your platform and offering is different and that's what will define success? >> well, as you know, we actually have some of everything and that was in fact how it was designed just to begin with, we launched and in the first two weeks of f quibi alone, we had 55 shows and had almost 500 episodes. we have the wonderful really great movies with the best talent, best directors, best stars in hollywood we have quick bites of these especially sodic fun things. chance the rapper. doing a new version of punkeded or christie teaguen's. then the other part of it, which i think is not really appreciated yet, but will become monday is this thing called
