is a truckload will see continued strength and momentum higher >> okay. steve, what have you got for us. >> porsche the stock off from its highs it's good to take a risk i believe it's down because of what's happening in germany and the company so much more than that great buy here the exchange is now. cheap hope it's an attempt to retialize the business social giants set to testify again in front of congress gamestop nothing burger earning report we begin with today's markets overall.

>> as you can see the dow industrial 3,2732,704 half a pen advances for the s&p 500 three quart es of 1% decline that level stands at 13 is 33 and change if you look at the s&p 500 versus the semis it's been a huge performance gap between the two. take a look at that. 101% advance there for the semiconductors we're seeing alittle bit of that give back today but bullish news on semiconductors we'll see if trend plays out maybe the stock move of the day so far it's an eye catching one to the downside this is one of the best performing stocks in the s&p 500. the best performer over the last year entering yesterday's trade.

it's now down 18% today after big decline yesterday. that brings its total decline to roughly 27% from the highs we saw just two days ago. thaw news sending shares down. i spoke with ceo in his first broadcast interview as the company's new ceo and asked how we will know if he's on track at the end of this year >> we'll give i understand caters along the way of customers committed to the foundry. some will be customer accounts probably give some metrics

around how many start commit ms we have for customers. things that allow investors to say they are doing what they said they would. we want it to be extraordinary we'll say something and over deliver in a consistent way. if customer x haears that y and have kplited design, that will build conference on their part as well. >> i ask if this poses a risk if the gap between supply and demand closes. >> i believe that the world has a ten-year good cycle in front of it, john. when you think about every industry is becoming more

digital. our human existence is becoming more digital the covid was a big accelerate tore that claerly there's different gaps in supply that you work through. we're leaning into that because these capacity decisions need to be made years in advance and part of our current shortages are the decisions that the industry didn't make several years ago. we're saying we will lean into that aggressively. s >> joining me is senior semiconductor. you're literally not buying it that's at about 63 it would seem if there's any time to bet on intel now would be that time why are yo unimpressed

>> i -- cheap is never a reason to buy tech all buy itself you need more than cheap i like pat pat can bring hope he can give credibility. maybe he can do something on the hr side and keep it there and everything these are all good things they can do it's interesting part of the bull case on the stock like two or three months ago is they were going bad light. now it's like we're going to double down on everything we have been having execution issues plus we'll out source and

enter this brand new business and go led to head the general transition economics will get worse they already lowered guidance this year. the hope is they can give some certainty for what earnings will be we don't know what the top earnings are >> let me ask you the inverse of the question that i asked him.

if i step back, interest rates are low. there's more reason than ever for the u.s. government and government in europe to support what intel is trying to do he is on paper, the guy for this job, but as you point out, they have failed at foundry before and the full year guide doesn't look great how will we know if pat is fail at the end of 2021 >> he got there five, six weeks ago. they didn't throw this together in five or six weeks they have to have been working on this before i don't think bob swan could have sold this to the street he's got the credibility that's probably one reason pat had to go. this is not a dumb thing they are doing.

if it fails, they don't have to give the tools back. they have a structurally higher capex. it's not for the foundry business if it'sgoing to be running that high, if they can get some money to help offset, that's not a dumb thing that's a very smart plan in that sense. in general, like i said, the costs are going up the economics are going to get worse. we'll just have to see what they see in terms of monitoring this stuff. we're really not going to see anything in terms of like actual like numbers that you can really tie into it until 2023 or beyond that the road map for the next several years is baked the amd story, they will still be taking share. apple will be moving away.

>> hard to argue with what you're saying. what's interesting about the microsoft story over the past decade is the multiple expansion came before the real shift in numbers. we got do leave it there for now. quite a lot for investors to take in whether to eat these chips. mark zuckerberg testifying before the house energy and commerce committee tomorrow on misinformation on their platforms. what might be done about it. the ceos releasing their testimony today. mark zuckerberg saying we are committed to keeping people safer safe and protecting free expression

joining me now are two members of the committee demanding answers. welcome to both of you what's the most important thing you think we can learn from this process aside from the posturing that we sometimes see here and the testimony that's already been written down. >> one thing we don't want to hear is ceos tell us excuses and say we weren't aware of that and we'll get back to you. we had them in front of the committee before they testified in front of us before we were concerned about censoring at that point. they are protecting by section 230. it's very open it means that you're not monitoring the con tent. this goes back to the public square are you hammered and nailed your messages down and the people there providing the property or the post weren't held liable for what was said.

we extended section 230 to these platforms because we seen it as the modern say public square what we seen with facebook, what we seen with google, twitter, is they are continuing to monitor what is said and choosing to remove posts that they deem not acce acceptable that's not what section 230 does there's a difference between disagreeing with a view or having a vulgar post there as sexual contact or something immediately inciting violence.

the companies are going to say we don't remove posts because of people's political opinions. as a matter of fact, the democrats are arguing that we leave that stuff up to much and we remove stuff when there's harm threatened to individuals things like that it seems everybody is attacking 230 but nobody seems to agree on how to fix it. >> yeah. it's tough to fix it you want to try to keep the platforms as open and free as possible but also these companies need to be leld accountable when they do things that put the public's safety and health at jeopardy i also think that there's a ton

of conservative content on all of these platforms if you go to twitter or facebook you find all of these guys the company needs to make sure we don't have repeats of what happen on january 6th. they have an obligation to make sure they are not allowing content on there >> we sort of heard two ends of this to some extent. congressman, even aside from section 230, look at parlor. they weren't really having a heavy hand byfully stretch of the imagination in monitoring the content and amazon web services said, you know what, that's a problem apple said that's a problem. you're not behaving according to

our terms of service >> we're not digging into that in energy and commerce tomorrow we probably won't be talking about antitrust. if they choose who can and can't be on their platform if they don't dagree with what they are posting, that's an issue we agree on what we're talking about.

they wouldn't allow them to post the story. how is that not censoring the c content that's there you have candace owens removed from twitter when she criticized the governor of michigan about the mask mandate that's her opinion she's voicing her opinion. that's called free speech. they removed that content. it wasn't her. >> that's the environment in which it stood congressman, clearly this, we're not coming to agreement here what progress do you think can be made coming out of this hearing? >> i think they need to be able to articulate to the committee

how they will have a platform are people can share information and it can be open but it's not to the detriment of people's health there's things that are being spread around on facebook, for instance urging african-americans to not get the vaccine for covid-19 a lot of this information that's being spread throughout facebook and twitter is false it's saying all these things that will happen it needs to be fair and open i don't care if there's conservative content on there. i think the sites have an

obligation to pull it down whether it's on the left or right. >> facebook said that they aim to take down misinformation on vaccines not sure how that applies to opinions thank you congressmen. >> thank you coming up, the bond market seems to be stabilizing this week yields moving lower. does that mean the text ch sect is getting ready for a rebound cruise lines have new plans to get around cdc guidelines. it's good news for the industry but bad news for u.s. jobs. we have details. ♪ ♪ it's not "pretty good or nothing." it's not "acceptable or nothing." and it's definitely not "close enough or nothing." mercedes-benz suvs were engineered with only one mission in mind.

>> the book is based on the principal of micro steps we find a lot of companies, executives are overwhelmed if you ask them to do anything to improve their well being and performance, it overwhelms them even more. we have broken it down into what we call micro steps too small to fail there are hundreds of them in the book if we start steps we build new healthier and more productive habits let me give you my favorite which is based on the latest neur neuroscience it takes 60 seconds to go to stressed anybody who is watching now is stressed we're not going to eliminate stress from our lives but we can

eliminate cumulative stress. we can avoid that by having the 60 second resets during the day. between zoom meetings, have you sever stressful news, before you go to bed. 60 seconds before you go to your phone in the morning in our work with morning in our companies we put reset at the center including with call centers. you know, call centers are some of the most stressed out parts of our economy but if you feed this 60-second thrive calls to the operators it really changes both the stress levels and customer success. >> well, i hope as people return to the office that it proves an opportunity for employees and companies to make some reset decisions. arianna, thank you so much for joining us jon? >> thank you. still ahead, with more than 45 million americans fully vaccinated offices, schools and

but to reopen safely and to stay open we use the modification of a previous platform and already in this platform of using health to determine access control since then we have been partnering with the yankees and angels and other venues like offices, schools and corporate events and testing and vaccine verification which are important components of safety going forward. >> how does this work for a corporate campus looking to reopen maybe you swiped a badge to get into a building. what are the added pieces that a system like cleared for, the software platform, can help to monitor and what needs to be in place to do the job? >> sure. the office is great office but we use the platform to integrate into anything. we don't have a traditional app per se we are the middle ware that integrates into other people's apps and software platforms

alike corporate websites so we use the software to identify who the person is, use the health information that they put and then follow the business rules for each individual client like for in new york city there's different rules to come back than other states so we use the states and business rules of the facilities to really perform what the company or the client of any sort of a venue doo to get back into the office and reopen. >> what is your expectation how long this software and these processes remain a part of our society? some people might say by the time most people are vaccinated we don't need this anymore yrnd we continue playing for it? >> there's issues here and it's a layered question so if you think about it, there's so many issues that are relevant to the question what's the rate of vaccination 14% with both shots already and this will roll out over time and what is the ultimate by august

60%? 90%? we don't know. if you look at the polls 40% of people are reluctant to get vaccinated and we'll see how that is after the summer when people see that it's fairly safe to do. you also mentioned how long will we be livinging with this? >> abdelkader be a while i definitely get your point. we will have to have to leave it there unfortunately but thank you, doctor. >> okay. thank you. that does fit "the exchange."
