colonial pipeline, anne neuberger word would like to remind you, is a "private company." as a matter of principle the white house does not get involved in the affairs of private companies, not unless private companies were to use the wrong pronoun in a sentence in which case the fbi would arrive with a s.w.a.t. team and televise an arrest, but in cases where the mere fuel supply of the entire eastern seaboard is at stake, anne neuberger and her friends at the white house strongly prefer a hands-off approach. they are situationally libertarian that way. what is this about? well, you know come on some level, let's be honest about it the white house approves of this disaster.es yes, some gas stations are closed tonight, but soon enough the lunatics plan to close all of them. close every gas station in the entire united states, shot it forever, to make way for some new, as yet not quite defined means of transportation that will magically replace the gasoline engine we have used for more than 100 years. this is a green revolution so who cares about some old pipeline? remember

at how we need to harden or necessary infrastructure, and that includes cyberthreats, and at anne neuberger was here yesterday, saying this 5d manufacturing is taking an all hands on deck, and senior is my y -- secretary mayorkas is here to tell us morning. >>> jennifer granholm saying a decision on whether to restore the pipeline will be made as soon as tomorrow in the meantime she warns americans, do not hoard oil. no need to hoard toilet paper at the beginning of the pandemic, no need to hoard oil at this point. oil is up slightly higher. on the equity side of things we were just a couple pennies away from its highs hit on friday, but mostly lower now. >>> coming up, retail is coming back if you want to bet on the retail revive, our next guest will tell you how to play it >>> the stunning reversal by palantir following the quarterly results, but now it's up limb 8%, on pace to break a ten-day losing streak. despite today's move, it's still down about 15% year to date. courtney, i'll send it back to you. >>> thank you very much, rahel now let's mo on to retail. so far this year the retail

i think the team led by the deputy national security adviser anne neuberger, they pulled together a reallymbitious plan. if they lock it in, if they nail it, it's going to make a democratic difference in the security of our u.s. government systems. but the most interesting aspect of the executive order is if it's done properly, if it's implemented properly is there is such a thing as leverage on the defensive side where the software, the very software that the u.s. government buys, whether it's from your desktops, laptops or whatever it is, it's the same software that we buy at home. it's the same stuff that companies buy. and so by using the procurement power, the power of the purse of the federal government, we're going see dramatic improvements in the security of the software that we all use. so it's kind of a flex, and i'm really excited to see the team roll it out over the next 18 months or so. >> i think a lot of people who are following the news about the colonial pipeline hack are disturbed that something that important seemed to be so vulnerable to this type of ransomeware attack.

that needs to change i've got a lot of confidence that what you heard out of anne neuberger and the biden administration will start using more of the authorities and levers that they can pull to put an end to this digital pandemic. >> you know, these ransomware -- pandemic, it is. they keep piling up, both against the government and against private businesses if this is a cyber war, are we losing it? >> well, you know, i wouldn't call it a cyber war, but it is absolutely a national security threat this is, frankly, the cybersecurity threat that the average american experiences on a regular basis. you don't always see china and russia cyber spies messing around on your networks, but you do see it when a hospital goes down, when you lose access to refined product like this, when your kids have to stay home or they can't log into their school networks this has been going on for years. they're getting much more sophisticated. they're getting diversified. i mean it's kind of like ocean's 11 where you've got the safe cracker, the getaway guy, the person monitoring the i.t. networks same thing g
