>> hi, how are you, jim? i've been watching your show for many years you've been very helpful. >> thank you, jeffrey. we're out there every day, man. >> i enjoy it. you're a good man. this is regarding crown castle cci symbol i was on your show july 21st and it was a recommendation on it. the next day i bought it at 169 and it has been going down since and then yesterday it stopped trading. i take it around 159 i didn't check it today. i would like to know -- >> well, look, here is what happened these guys are -- they're in a tussle with elliott, which is a very smart group of people they told a good story but elliott management i think tells a better one personally and i think that if they say to elliott we're going with your group, you got a chance to go to 180, 190 instantly or take a little while to get there. >>> the dow is now indicative of the world of today there is still more work that needs to be done that can take some time. on "mad" tonight are consumers stocking to coverage now that covid lockdow

it's game on airlines no one >> the point is the right one, jim.here are you going is the question the only other thing is you're going to face delays while they escort people off the plane who refuse to wear a mask. >> united arab emirates there is a flight to milan where they will be testing you, a five-night flight, but of course americans can't go we have off limits in all the british virgin islands right now, off limits in the caribbean in a lot of places we are not welcome so that hurts flying if you are not welcome. carl, there is a big -- we can't go anywhere. >> no. vegas running into troubles as we know and then, jim, tonight with disney maybe we will get some guidance on how at least they view the progress of reopening parks. >> i hope so i mean, we know one thing that if you want to be covid-free you do what adam silver did with the nba. i think it's remarkable. if you watch the nba it's almost as if there has never been covid. you have to take those -- you have to take those precautions and it's really terrific that we can see what hap

jim: yes.are you suggesting that -- when schools have names, usually the students at some point have to learn why the school was named after that person and that person becomes in a sense the role model you were describing, annette. should we be suggesting that every curriculum should also consider to include a critique of the person for whom the school is named, no matter who it is? david: well, almost you have to, don't you? [laughter] there was a place in texas i think decided, i am forgetting where it was, decided to change all of the stonewall jacksons and robert e. lees to names from nature. the only safe way to go. get off people. birds, nature. [laughter] why not? street names, the same thing. i was just going to say really quickly, after the charleston massacre in 2015, and after the panels on memories and monuments and so on, i decided i would go to every audience with three principles. i didn't get very far with this, the first principle was you had to have a deliberative process. th

>> reporter: good morning, jim. well, the city of miami mayor frances suarez says there will be a gap, a disruption in both testing and the flow of information. testing sites closed through the weekend. the locally supported sites plan to rebuild today and resume testing tomorrow. there are 15 state-supported sites in miami-dade, broward, palm beach and st. lucie counties. hopefully the flow of testing and information there helps. when you look at the situation in the state of florida overall, according to the florida department of health, they reported more than 7,000 new cases yesterday. that is a drop. we haven't seen the state of florida report that low of a number since early july. here in miami-dade county where i am, this is still the epicenter of this crisis, accounting for 25% of the now near 490,000 cases in this state. take a look at the hospitalizations because they have dropped a bit. now the number of patients is under 2,000, but when you look at the number of icus, those are still over 500 and ventila

let's bring in jim stewart and kne nelay.e best answer for some of these hawkish concerns, the idea there's no real way to put a lid on tiktok's u.s. ops and it's somehow this trojan horse from the chinese to infiltrate domestic tech? >> i think some of the concerns are well founded we've been hearing them from the security founders for a long time they've been hiring employees in the united states, up to 1500 people they've been doing a lot to hedge against the concerns but their ties to the parent company in china, and they share data with their parent company, it's real there's a lot of reason to look at this. i do not think for one second we should pretend the white house has a logical or consistent policy for using sifius to evaluate i think donald trump was mad that teens ruined his rally and is punishing that company. we should be clear-eyed about what happened here >> huh jim, do you -- you have to admit it's a bit of a stretch to think the guerilla tactics of teenage users made its way to the white house and resulted

it's interesting, jim. no one here owns salesforce. you hear everybody raving about it nobody owns it joe, why not back back to the home depot. it's the same type of mentality. why don't i own it i just don't have room in the portfolio. i would be in pal al networks. i think it's important to understand security moving forward i think salesforce has more of a market share in their particular space i look at all these names collectively and view them as defensive in nature when thinking about technology. you're always asking yourself a pullback in spending, where is corporations, and it's not -- >> why not you keep saying i would, i would -- >> i don't have room in the -- i said that, scott i don't have room in the portfolio unless you said to send me a nice big loan where i could expand the amount of holdings i just don't have room for them. i have 29 holdings, that's my max. i'm at it. i can't think of what i would be taking out of the portfolio to add something in like this there are many names where you could say i would like to own

i'm jim sciutto. as trump administration officials reportedly raise the possibility of rushing vaccine before important late-stage trials are finished, dr. anthony fauci is warning that that would be a mistake. he says doing so could damage efforts to develop other vaccines and crucially get people to take them with confidence, and even as parts of the south are seeing signs of hope, that's important. look at those green states there, officials are looking at potential surge in america's heartland, more on what is causing those worries in a moment. even is a the country sees more than 177,000 coronavirus deaths and counting, the gop last night was touting president trump's pandemic response during that first night of the republican national convention. there were also many attacks on joe biden and a dark future, they say the country faces, if he wins in november. lots of hyperbole last night. we're also following new developments as protests in wisconsin are ramping up after a black man was shot by po

so you're so right, jim.here is so much more to a student's experience and school when we think about investing in education, we want to think about the whole hild kids can't learn if they are hungry, homeless or don't have the support they need. so really what we're doing with the students' success hub are providing that work.com technology and that's really a command center administrators can see real-time data to make an informed decision it contact tracing so schools can track the spread of a virus and enable schools to manage facilities we know there is so much going on with the students and schedules and you think back to your own learning career with bells going off. it chaotic and crazy and including giving schools the ability to see if faculty and staff are healthy and the most important piece, it allows schools to manage critical communications quickly to reach families via email, text or phone and helping counselors and support staff remove the barriers to suntudent success giving a view of the pro

are we done worrying about the consumer, jim? or are we still waiting for congress to assemble something that the white house can pass? >> i think we're not done. i think that there are still lots of smaller businesses that are holding on and are still open but i think that the moves that we're seeing and the wall marts and target are arbenjuwhae going to come. remember, there's ton of small businesses associated with every university, but there always is a target or a walmart lurking and i think that this is going to be the push comes to shove where we're going to see the indebted retailers have a very hard time. i think that, look, you can get an easy comparison from quarter to quarter for something like a kohl's or an l brands but those are short-term trades. this is about either getting a lot of inventory in from the guys who went under. that's tjx and burlington and ross stores or about the champs amazon, target, home depot, let's not forget lowe's, right and then, of course, walmart it's the winners get bigger. on the wall,

i'm jim sciutto. we have another busy news day, developments on the outbreak and violence in two american cities. we'll break down exactly how far and wide these stories extend, what's isolated and what's more widespread. the u.s. surpasses 183,000 coronavirus deaths, and three people are dead after clashes in two cities, portland and kenosha, wisconsin. we are waiting for more information on the police shooting of another black man, jacob blake, and this morning duelling messages on the state of the nation. democratic presidential nominee joe biden expected to take on president trump in a speech today and pose this question, are you safe in donald trump's america? biden accuses the president of dividing the country and inciting unrest for his own political gain. over the weekend, president trump praised these people, far right pro-trump caravans and slammed protesters after the violence in portland. do scenes like this help? he is set to head to kenosha tuesday despite the governor's plea for him to

. >> i'm jim sciutto. this morning, we're learning about a surge of infections among children here in the united states and a new report shows a 90% increase in covid-19 infections in kids just over the last four weeks. a small number but still alarming number. 90 children have died from the virus over several months. still, president trump is downplaying the risk to children as he pushes for schools to reopen. really demands they do again, falsely claiming they don't get very sick from the virus, that they don't catch it easily and that they don't transmit it easily to other people. just not true. overnight here on cnn a top health expert had this warning. >> and there's every reason to suspect that this virus, even it can kill you, it behaves like a cold virus in terms of transmission. who drives colds? children drive colds. >> wow. in one georgia school district, more than 800 of the students and 42 employees are quarantined this morning. 50 students and staff have tested positive since schools reopened

>> what we know is this, jim.igation on behalf of the blake family that witnesses reported that jacob had no knife in his hand and that the police tried to suggest to justify this unjustifiable use of excessive force and the fact that you literally see him in the video pulling up his pants. all jacob blake was trying to do was get in his car and get his three little boys away from a volatile situation. he did not pose a threat to law enforcement as he was walking away from them. he did not verbally threaten them in any way and we don't want to let people get caught up in this tactic that is often used by law enforcement and authorities where they try to change the narrative. what is important, jim, is what we see on the videos. we see on the videos that he constantly tried to get away from the police. never ever threatened them based own what we see. now look at video from a couple of nights later where a young white supremacist comes with an assault weapon and shoots protesters killing two of them and then walks

>> caller: hey, good afternoon, jim. thanks for helping i want to say thanks for helping keeping us calm for understanding the market. >> sure trying hard for me, too, man. >> caller: my question is about ping after the report last week, it fell and just kind of sat there. is this something i should hold? >> no, the whole group octa leads but there are so many companies in the identity business people are starting to freak out there is too much competition and ping is a very expensive stock. let's go to justin in michigan, justin >> caller: hey, jim cramer king of chill. >> yeah, i'm the chill man >> caller: i feel honored because you just answered my question on that last action alerts plus on thursday. >> oh, thank you good call. >> caller:nformative call. hour and a half call i do. thank you. >> caller: the stock i didn't get a chance to ask about is royal p pharma. >> i interviewed that pablo, that is what is known as a general company. the big sponsor and great pe firm i like that company very much. they do a lot of

jim? >> sara, so many questions there. thanks for staying on top of that and we'll bring you all of the details as sara gets them on the ground and we do. in just a few moments, as well, i will speak to the attorney for jacob blake's family. to a developing story. to texas and louisiana officials, they are bracing for hurricane laura. it is now a major category 3 storm and it could become a category 4 by the time it makes landfall late tonight or early tomorrow morning and a lot of warm water that strengthens these storms. 700 workers from the red cross are on standby now with relief supplies. we have team coverage tracking the system. first, let's go to cnn meteorologist chad myers at the weather center. chad, it's over the 90-degree water right now as we speak that strengthens these storms and describe what kind of force this will hit the coast with later today? >> reporter: well, i have some numbers that will scare you if you live anywhere near lake charles in the 120 mile per hour rang

jim wright is his first takedown, jim wright becomes the embodiment of everything is been saying since 1974. he draws the picture, , createsa character and then brings him down. and i think fast forward to after bill clinton is elected, he very much does our or attemo do the same with bill clinton. he made bill clinton the embodiment not so much of a corrupt democratic establishment. he had moved on to a morally corrupt establishment or culturally too far left establishment, whatever he wanted to focus on, i think you then tries to do the same. i'm sure his experience with jim wright embolden him to saint we can move forward with an impeachment and it might very well work. >> that the move for gingrich was in 1994, right? talk about how that campaign takes shape. was it really a national election. how big a a role does the contt with america play? how does gingrich spend that massive to? >> it is an important election, and one of the things that gingrich does is he nationalizes the midterm campaigns very effectively and he uses the things he learned in the '80s about why the media is u

jim, david, back to you. >> rick, thank you rick santelli. give you a look at the market here we will head to break. jim and i on the other side i want to talk qualcomm if we get a minute because an important victory in an appeals court there that is worth mentioning this morning a lot more "squawk on the street." coming right back. >>> welcome back we did want to look at shares of qualcomm it was such a tumultuous year for that company, but one of the keys was that loss in court over that ftc case that ruled they had monopolized the use of their chips. they got a very favorable ruling in the peals appeals court, that -- were anything more than lawful attempts at profit maximization >> this was so overlooked by the analysts i thought this was gigantic. this has always been a patent situation. we know that mallonkof is more of an engineer type than a salesperson, but whole cow, what a move there were people wanting to buy it >> yeah. listen, i mean, they were involved in so much litigation through the years. >> with the chinese. >> so many thi

jim?and one the confederacy lost. let's get more on all of this with cnn chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta. sanjay, the world is on the verge of passing 20 million confirmed coronavirus cases, just a staggering total. but a quarter of those cases, as we've all been talking about, right here in the united states. 5 million cases when this pandemic started several months ago. did you ever think we would end up in this situation here in the u.s.? >> uh, no, jim. i never imagined that we would have a quarter of the world's infections in this country. i mean, i knew there was a contagious virus that was likely to spread the but the fact that we've been hit so disproportionately hard in this country, i did not expect that. we're an affluent country. we have lots of resources. but this speaks to just i think how many mistakes candidly have been made along the way. jim, i think the thing is now you've got to keep in mind that when we decided to go in some sort of shutdown mode back in t

jim? >> it's why you do the science over time, right? it's why this is part of the process. elizabeth cohen, thanks very much. joining me to discuss this and a whole host of other issues dr. richard besser, former acting director of the cdc. thank you for helping us cut through the politics as it mixes with the science. let's start from a public health perspective. is there enough data to support today the use of convalescent plasma? >> jim, what really concerns me, last week this question was raised, and some of our smartest minds, frances collins, tony fauci said there wasn't enough data to move forward with this emergency use authorization, and a big concern is that with the emergency use authorization in place, it will be harder to do the clinical trials. there will be less plasma available, fewer patients available to do these studies. as elizabeth was saying, the studies so far haven't compared people who got this product to people who didn't. it compared people who got it early to p

jim and poppy? >> yeah. it certainly has. at least we are seeing some of those positive indications. ed, thank you very much for the reporting. >>> negotiators will be back at the table today to discuss a new hoped for stimulus package. house speaker nancy pelosi says they are making some progress. >> this is after a top democrats and senior members of the administration met for two hours yesterday. let's go to our congressional reporter, lauren fox. she's on capitol hill. what does some progress mean? i think i saw the last headlines was nancy pelosi said it's $4.3 trillion. >> yeah. one big sign of who's going on behind the scenes they are actually trading proposals at this point. that is significant. they also agreed that everybody needs a deal. here's what house speaker nancy pelosi said yesterday. >> we all have agreed that we need to have an agreement. and we will have an agreement. but we're not going to do it at the expense of america's working families. we are making some progress, we are u

jim, you're in the lead on that. >> i don't know, you're the top, carl >> jim, let's get your take onrazeneca today. the ft over the weekend saying that the u.s. is considering fast tracking that vaccine candidate out of the uk in coordination with oxford "fortune" says astrazeneca says we had no conversations but how significant is it, jim >> look, i think that there's a surprise that the president just went to do that one and not others i mean, certainly two american companies that are ready, i think. pfizer is very close very good article today about pfizer please, don't send me a bad e-mail the one i'm surprised about is regeneron. they are in trials right now i am surprised, for instance, if the nfl which is having a little problem should just go and everyone should get this antibody i think if you don't want to do that but i want the antibody test they're not offering it to people who are not at risk but, david, anybody and something you have spoken about endlessly, that is the frontier, not the vaccine. >> it can be i have spoken about the antiviral specifically and the merck d

>> jim, i really don't know.e started with a trillion dollars, we agreed to increase that in several areas in an effort to compromise i think as you know they started at $3.5 trillion, they actually increase it had to $4 trillion, they said that wasn't enough and then they basically said unless we publicly say at least $2 trillion so they didn't -- they didn't come down, they never made us a proposal at $2 trillion, they never gave us a line by line counter you know, there's a deal to do here if the democrats want to be reasonable i'm concerned about the politics in all this, but i'm speaking to the senate republicans, mark and i are speaking to the members in the house every day and i think there's a lot of people on both sides in the senate and the house that would like to see both republicans and democrats that would like to see people come together and get a deal done that's good for the american workers and the american public. >> mr. secretary, do people understand that just because walmart and home depot h

i'm jim schutte, o. racial justice, police violence, politics, all coming to a potential inflektion point in america, the divisions getting no better, arguably worse in this country. this morning the father of jacob blake, the man shot multiple times in the back by police in kenosha, wisconsin in front of three of those children pictured there gave an emotional interview to cnn describing the first time he spoke to his son in the hospital and noting this fact. his son though paralyzed from the waist down, is shackled by his leg to his bed. >> when i got to his side, he grabbed my hands and began to weep, and he told me he thought he was a lose nating, and he said i love you, daddy. daddy, i love you. >> yeah. that's -- that must be so hard to see him in this condition. >> yes. then his next question was why did they shoot me so many times? i said, baby, they weren't supposed to shoot you at all. >> of course, you don't have an answer to that, and none of us have been given an answer to that? and we sprea

>> yeah, i remember that, jim. and i remember coming into paypal and a lot of people had their doubts it was at that point a 15-year-old tech company, a lot of people thought we have a lot of technical debt, that our service was on a path towards commoditization, and we really tried to fundamentalty redefine ourselves, and not just a checkout button, but a platform of capabilities, services, tool sets that would enable businesses to move into a digital economy, and that would allow consumers to safely and easily both shop and consume digital services and we knew eventually that digital was going to take over in terms of leading our economy. that's, again, accelerated maybe three to five years forward in three to five months' worth of time but all of the things that we worked on, including building our brand trust, building all of our product experiences, acquiring quite a number of leading edge companies, all came together and, you know, as some cumulative total has added up to something very different than when we

let's go to jim first. for jim from john in belgium going international. think about boeing's future >> yeah, i still think the future is bright at this point all of disaster priced into the commercial aerospace side of it you have a great defense business with call option on the commercial air space side. frankly, the 737 max is starting to pick up steam they are getting some flight test done with the european union and canada maybe that call option is worth something. i'm staying long, boeing >> next up, steve. you bought brookfield renewable partners, any promise in solar for long >> even though a lot of these stocks are at their 52-week high, this is the trend going forward getting away from fossil fuel brookfield has the added benefit of being with the top alternative manager in the world. i think these stocks go a lot higher >> next up for jon from karen in texas. buy, sell, hold draftkings >> hold onto this one. i know it got downgraded today i know pen got downgraded add well i am not a buyer of either of those thesis i think both of them go higher

there were other stuff too, jim. he said the entire city of worrell portland were ablaze all of the time. and that's not true. there have been some violent protests but it's tended to be confined to a specific area of the city. most portland residents are simply going about their lives. he also accused biden of telling what he called a monstrous lie that rioters are peaceful protesters. biden condemned rioters and quite simply pointed out most of the protests we've seen since the death of george floyd have been peaceful so he made a distinction. he also said biden's speech was strange and specifically criticized him for not naming antifa. it's true biden didn't mention ab teefia, this broad collection of fascists but he mentioned violence and looting of all kind. yes, he didn't say the word but it's not like he carved out an exemption for antifa. this was a broad-based combination of antifa-like tactics. >> that's right. he certainly did. throughout that speech we heard the former vice president condemn the rioting a

>> so it's been remarkable, jim. i want to make sure i'm heard by the employees that made this happen. we have hundreds of men and weap women that put on masks and did other precautions and came into work every day and was at 50/50 retail and food service. today we stand at 88% retail and 12% food service we're not a digital company. we had to move physical assets to make that happen. so we're moving pieces of equipment. we're taking food out of boxes that has been prepared for food service and putting them into retail packaging these men and women about that day after day and it drove record sales we had our first quarter of over $113 million in sales in net revenue. if you look at the trends that were occurring in retail, they were absolutely remarkable our household penetration grew 40% from january up until today. that's a remarkable increase you look at the buyer rate for households not only are more households coming into the brand but they're also now spending more per household. repeat rates are up 50%. veloc

. >> i'm jim sciutto. sadly we begin today with the deadliest single day so far and a dire prediction from the cdc warning that the pandemic combined with the flu season could ravage the country like no health crisis before. >> i'm asking you to do four simple things. wear a mask, social distance, wash your hands and be smart about crowds. if we don't do that, as i have said last april, this could be the worst fall from a public health perspective we've ever had. >> the worst fall this country's ever had. that's a remarkable warning. wednesday alone, this country saw nearly 1,500 deaths that's the most since may. and you can see the graph rising again there. 56,000 new cases in a single day as well. >> wow. fears over reopening schools in person, this comes amid a growing pandemic. those fears are becoming a reality as schools are reopening. one school district outside of atlanta which fully opened last week has more than 1,100 students and staff in quarantine. still, the administration overnight they did

>> that's right, poppy and jim. this is the first time the president was meeting with his full coronavirus task force in a comprehensive way since april, and so it's been months and months since he's had this kind of sitdown meeting and what it sounds like that what the president was demonstrating behind closed doors of this oval office meeting and it is sort of what like what we hear when he goes before cameras and talks to the american people. in a closed-door office meeting the president, quote, still doesn't get it. with this conversation i had with this person saying he does not get it and essentially what was going on during this meeting is members of the task force as they often try to do try to impress upon the president the severity of the outbreak and during those exchanges the president would try to change the subject in the words of this source familiar with the meeting, he starts talking about something else, and so when the president gets out there on fox news or at one of these coronavirus task force

it's corporate darwinism at work, jim.ing basically a three-month high i'm curious, it's another example, deere was the other one last week, jim, where we had down grades going into the print. >> yes. >> smucker's' case it was morgan stanley they went to 107 said they would be a lesser beneficiary of food demand, the print proved the exact opposite. >> this is 50% -- organic sales up 11%, 70 cent beat, pet up three. a lot of people felt that their pet offering is not that competitive. cafÉ dunkin' bustelo one of my favorites. people have coffee at home and buy the well-named brands. i was a uvan guy at one point, that was when i didn't sleep on tuesdays david? >> all right no sleep tuesdays. >> no sleep tuesdays. >> i remember those. >> taco thursday, no sleep tuesdays >> guys, quick faber report. wading back into the drama that is tiffany and lvmh, remember that deal, of the course, signed last november, 135 bucks a share all cash, remember they moved up at the end, something that bernard arano the richest man in europe r

gingrich hated him in many ways as much as he hated o'neill and speaker jim right. >> around the partyeadership instead of blocking him to get the message out, because about the media, right? talk about using the media of the 1980s to get that message out. >> that is a big part of the book. this was really before the conservative media world we know exists. there is conservative talk rad radio, my story doesn't exist yet, there's no internet website yet like breitbart so he uses the mainstream media, newspapers, cable television as his tool so one of the stories we tell in the book, which i used to tell, kevin and i taught a class and i would always tell this story and i realize it's probably a good book care. it is in 1984 and he and his group, the conservative opportunity society, they relate of the end of the day, anyone is allowed to go at the front of the house and make a speech. one minute speech, special order speeches. they're not reserved for people just with power and anyone can do it. they started going to the floor and they make these speeches and they started to say democr

>> reporter: good morning, jim.s we've been reporting for the last several weeks, tracking the medical data here in texas has been rather difficult. it has been a highly fluctuating target, but the latest numbers suggest that the positive infection rate of coronavirus cases being reported now stands at 11%. this comes after a couple of weeks where we saw it jump from 12% up to almost 25% volatile fluctuations in that positivity rate. this as the number of tests being reported was also plummeting here in this state, but over the course of the last few thousands more tests of backlog have been reported. there have been reports over the weekend suggesting that it was some sort of coding error that prohibited a full report of just how many tests were being done over the last few weeks and because of that, now the state of texas is reporting an 11% infection positivity infection rate at this point, and this is significant, bauve reported, this is one of the numbers that health experts across the country really look at to

jim, thank you for having me on. i think what it shows is president trump is willing to step up and lead when congress doesn't. we have seen him exert more of a broader use of executive power. we talked about the air traffic controllers. we've seen a number of times even with president trump early on taking on actions regarding deregulation we need to help people. >> this is exactly what he said about president obama's use. this is president trump when he was running for office four years ago. >> obama goes around signing executive orders. he can't even get along with the democrats. it's a basic disaster, you can't do it. we have a president that can't get anything do, so he keeps signing executive orders all over the place. i hay what obama does with gun legislation. he doesn't talk to anybody. he just signs executive orders. in theory you're supposed to be something people agree on. i don't think he tries anymore. i think he just signs executive actions. >> jason, why doesn't the president get everybody in the room

i'm jim sciutto. new words of caution from dr. anthony fauci this morning as the nation races for a vaccine. his words don't rush the science as trump administration officials raise the possibility of doing just that. but fauci says that could damage efforts to develop other vaccines and get people to come out and take it. and when it comes to cases in the u.s., there is some good news. and some bad news as well. some places across the south are seeing signs of improvement. officials are though raising concerns about america's heartland. everyone has to stay on top of this. we are following all of those headlines. plus, on the first night of the republican national convention the party looks to tear up the dismal picture democrats have painted of trump's presidency. an example, speakers touting his response to the pandemic, but they made no message of the more than 170,000 lives lost in this country. what was messaged? plenty of attacks on joe biden as well as doom and gloom scenarios if biden wins in

jim. >> jeff zeleny, thank you for that. let's bring in political correspondent dana bash with political correspondent abby phillip. biden and harris are keeping relentless focus on coronavirus pandemic during these early days on the campaign trail together. this looks like their message heading into the fall. >> why wouldn't it be? it's the only thing that matters right now, because it has so many tentacles into people's lives, whether it is their kids' education or their job or going -- being able to go to the store or watching sports. i mean, you name it, it affects everybody in this country. the fact of the matter is, it has been a bumpy ride to say the least for the president and his team. if you are somebody like joe biden who has decades of experience in government, including being in the administration during a time where they had the threat of a virus to go -- to be like we're seeing now potentially, and i'm talking about the ebolavirus, why wouldn't you use that as a contrast to show voters this is what you have an

with him, jim.et's start off on the broader markets this morning as we often do at this time as you give a look here at what's coming up in a half hour when we open kind of a mixed bag, but we are talking about new potential highs for the s&p, jim are you a believer still >> i think that what's happened is it's been a broadening out. now, the question is is there enough money to go around to buy 3m today and also buy let's just use -- let's just pick nvidia, okay and the answer is that's to be determined there is a lot of newer money coming into the market, we will be talking about splits later today and the nature of the alchemy of it all but the thing that i'm most excited about, david, is there are industrials doing better than expected we have to stay focused on that because when we think about 3m making a come back, think about where they were and that is the -- you know, that is the -- and they're having some good numbers this morning, that's what stood out to me and it makes me think nat indu

jim wright was furious because he said he may be a criminal. he basically presented as someone who should go to jail and he believed in using the language. one thing he wanted to shape how people saw the democrats in a particular way and using the language by that he used to say that the media likes more indiana jones and i think that he believes that. gingrich took over in 1944 and it was a defunct political committee essentially and he used it to distribute to teach them what to do and in 1990 if you want to speak, these are the kind words you nee of words youe when talking about the democrats through his use as a leader it legitimated looking at search and twitter feeds you will see his smile still present resignations. in the '90s when fox news is formed in 96, but i his relationship with the new conservative meaning? >> guest: when the talk radio is flourishing and 77, 78 and 79 they amplify the message. they call it a tea party revolt and all over the country they are lashing out and it helps gingrich in this cause. in those years he is t

why don't we go to bill in new york, bill >> caller: hi, jim boo-yah. >> boo-yah >> caller: jim, my companyanged its name. the ceo took most of the company private but left this one. what do you think? >> i'd do work on that one you can run but you can't hide ir don't kn i don't know we can do work on that stock it's like -- okay, that, ladies and gentlemen is the conclusion of the lightingeni round. >> announcer: the lightening round is sponsored by t.d. a ameritrade ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >>> what can i say about the upcoming airbnb ipo? it will be a steal i'll tell you why. i hate the cold. wasn't always like that. who doesn't want to go sliding down a hill or make a snow man on a snow day, build a warm fire that was then when we were younger and the kids were still at home. at my age winter in new york is bleak and the sun is too weak to entice us to stay. we don't want to huddle where it's freezing out waiting for schipt to deliver. this weekend my wife resolved to get a place in south florida for a couple months. why not get away for a couple weekends she wouldn't hear it she wants to leave she wa

jim? >> lord. good to have you on the story.s very much. >>> with me is andy berg from district 10. thank you. is there any place for armed vigilantes from out of state in your community? do you see them as -- the police chief was saying trying to resolve the situation. >> well, i mean, using the same logic, if he wasn't here we wouldn't have had what the situation occur. if we don't have the vigilantes walking around the streets this situation wouldn't have occurred. how many businesses did they protect? >> do you welcome the vigilan vigilantes, are they welcome in kenosha? >> no. some people welcome them, but absolutely not. the overwhelming majority of us do not want anybody coming from out of town to come in to burn down our city or to riot or loot or to do vigilante stuff. >> so what happens now? right? i mean, it's an open carry state so constitutionally police can't stop them. i mean, how do police bring both the rioters under control and these groups coming from outside the state? what are they going to do about it? >> w

i didn't understand it because i was told hey jim carrey wrote a memoir.i'm like oh man, i'm excited then i read the book and called the person, i said is this real, they were like it is but it isn't. you can explain what you have written. >> i approach everything i do as something that could be completely untrue. and yet there will be parts of it that will be things that will be absolutely authentic. >> okay, maybe that is a blanket statement. but in this case, you know, this was the best way to get my truth out there, everything to say everything i need to say and do it in a way that is completely entertaining and you know, harkens back to dante and all of those wonderful stories of king arthur and nights of the round table. and i just love that concept. so when we started writing together, dana and i started writing we were really just having a conversation, a friendship, and such wild ideas came out of that, that we had to go with it. we had to go with it. we didn't want to do a memoir. we didn't want to take stock of all the things that have happened
