steven nickerson, another of her childhood buddies, was surpriseu to see her. >> it was good, because i hadn't seen her in probably, like, six to eight months. and we caught up.pr >> reporter: the group met up at an apartment. >> and then around 11:00 or 11:30 we went down to the bars.1 >> reporter: the bars were in an upscale shopping mall in the town of plano.pi it was hopping. the group headed to a bar called henry's tavern, then closed down another called scruffy duffy's. at about 2:00 a.m. christina, steven, and a few others went back to the apartment where they'd started. >> reporter: how drunk was ep everybody? >> i mean, we were all pretty drunk. it was myself, i probably had 10 to 12 shots and a couple beers when i was out. >> reporter: too drunk to drive, steven wanted to crash on the couch and sober up. but christina hadn't had much th drink at all and she just wantee to get home. it was now about 3:30 saturday 3 morning. >> she wanted me to take her he home. >> reporter: she wanted you to take her home and you say, i can't, i've had too much to drink. why don't you stick a

steven: i think there is definitely the possibility. with some groups, by age or by other risk factors, there will be enough people expose for a short time that that will affect -- it can stop it going up quickly because the key groups that have been driving, this is the possibility. have soy groups can many infections that they change things going up. but there is nothing there to rely on from a public health point of view. peopleic message, it if don't have a way of controlling the virus, we should expect it to go up and we should expect pressure on our health care system until people change their behavior. is aine: i know it difficult question because we don't understand 100% the pattern of this virus, and we also don't know whether once you have the vaccine you can still catch it, pass it on without being sick. given what you know so far, when will we have -- when will we stop having lockdowns, social distancing, and masks? how long does it take from that first vaccine to going back to normal? francine: you can approach -- steven: y

steven major relocating to hong kong for hsbc.te a statement from the bank on their research capability going forward. we have the political issues of hong kong. i don't want you to comment on that. i understand that's inappropriate. but i want you to comment on the dollar as a compensating factor given interest rate movement. you do follow foreign-exchange. because of that, do you buy weak dollar given the calls for higher yield? a very interesting fact, that total return for dollar-based investor, whether he be holding chinese bonds, european bonds, u.k. bonds, u.s. bonds, whatever, in dollar terms has been between 7% to 10% this year so far. so with a broad-based index of everything, you have had 7% to 10%. in the case of buying china, recently of course, you will know that a good 5% of that has come from the currency because the chinese currencies have had a good run. that is after the dollar probably went too far. so for a fixed-income investor, fact that there is no yield apparently, apparently there is no yield on offer, yo

steven: i don't think so. i think there is still a mixture of the short-term impact of the disease, obviously accelerating in the u.s. and at levels in europe. some optimism that things are coming, but i think the market actually once to see it in practice, and i think there is increasing concern and uncertainty that even if we managed to deal with the disease, a lot of companies are going to be left with a lot of debt and balance sheet issues that will linger for much longer than the actual disease concerns will. so the answer is it is not totally priced in by any means. it or shouldould it be priced the most, if we look past the debt levels in the short-term? where does the vaccine optimism need to be priced? steven: i think one way of looking at it would be if you take a look at different indexes of covid sensitive stocks, how the airlines are doing, how the hotel chains are doing, movie theaters are doing, they have made some progress in recent weeks, but they are still way off where they were back in febr

there's reason to be concerned -- you've been doing this a long time steven we all have. that when everybody's on one side of that proverbial shift you've got to look to the risk you can't just assume there's no risk because goldman and everybody else are raising their price targets on the s&p 500 if you had to lay out the one or two risks to all that great historical data, the risk to the market, what would the top one or two risks be? elevated multiples the virus sticking around? some kind of war >> it has to be what's happening -- >> ryan, you first and steven, follow up. ryan, go ahead >> let's hope it's not a war multiples clearly are stretched. and just overall sentiment like we said. record flows everybody's bullish. money coming in. that is whatnot we saw back in march and april. we're not seeing a major, major market correction at all after a 65% rally honestly a 10% correction sometime in the first quarter might be perfectly normal and honestly healthy. >> go ahead, steven. the risks. >> i can see a risk or a pullback in the market in the first or second quarter

steven hopkins said it had been to catch some deer. so as we were looking at it william bradford, as he went about, it gave a sudden jerk up, and he was immediately caught by the leg and hoisted into the air. winslow went on to admire the snare, pretty device, made with a rope of their own making and having a noose as artfully made as any roper in england can make. bradford did not mention the episode at all, and it probably did nothing to improve his view of the natives. it's important to remind ourselves that not all of the colonies held to the same beliefs and principles. while sharing many european attitudes winslow always seemed interested in the native inhabitants and developed a close relationship with usumeqwen. in the early chapters of his history he wrote of them as safr vague barbarians, ready to fill the pilgrim's side full of arrows, he described the landscape a hideous and desolate wilderness, full of wild beasts and wild men. but his harshest views were confined to his poetry. in one poem castigating the natives as a peo

we saw steven hahn go in there earlier when the meeting was supposed to start. expectations were high. the commissioner wanted it to be over a phone call, mark meadows insisted he come in person. really what we heard was amounting to a progress report on what's going on, why the emergency authorizations haven't been approved yet. you can't ignore that it comes amid backdrop of a president demanding to know why it hasn't gotten emergency approval. we knew when they applied november 20th it would take time. the outside advisory panel that will review the data is not set to meet for another nine days or so. however, the president was getting impatient and making clear he has pressured the fda to move faster on things like this. it is notable because a few months ago when we were reporting things like this out, the white house denied the president was pressuring the fda. now he blatantly, proudly admits he is pressuring the fda. they believe it will be a tense meeting. steven hahn said it is not he has makes the decision, it is career scientists that make the decisi

stevens did not want to be vice president. and he proved how much he hated the vice presidency by becoming the vice president of the confederacy and spending four years fighting with jefferson davis. stevens might have been fun as a vice-president for the union, too. whatever it was, he was going to be in a fight about it. so the idea is, okay, douglas is the northern popular sovereignty guy. johnson is willing to accept it. he's a southerner. it balances the ticket. today we don't think much about that. in terms of geographic balance. in the 19th century in particular, it mattered a lot. the southern democrats say, okay, we're not nominating douglas. they go with john breckenridge. trivia break. he was 35. youngest man elected to the vice presidency. if he had been elected, he would have been the youngest. he was buchanan's vice president. he is split with douglas who he had once been at least a quasi ally if not an ally. he runs on the platform of dred scott is fine. we want a slave code for the territories. bring your slave
