Bring in show music please.

This is Squack-Pod from CNBC.

I'm producer Cameron Costa and here's what we're talking about today.

Edging closer to the 2024 election and staying

laser focused on interference from around the world. Cybersecurity expert

Chris Krebs on threats, social media, and geopolitics.

Where Russia has been very dominant in pushing propaganda, fake news, disinfo info for years and years, now China's getting into the game, kind of copying the Russian

playbook.

And a public health check-in.

Respiratory illness is surging. Pemonia in Ohio, RSV in China. We're

gauging the risks with Dr. Kavita Patel, Stanford, Professor of Medicine.

Here what we're seeing in Ohio, I'm sure we'll see in other states, but not at that kind of

simultaneous emergency crisis we saw a year ago.

Those conversations plus today's headlines. The Israel-Hamoss war resumes. Disney is

gearing up for a proxy fight on its board and cyber trucks delivered. Elon Musk's

EV pickup is finally heading to the streets for its first few customers.

This reminds me more of like a Hummer, somebody who wants to make a statement when they're going

on the street.

Right.

Look at me. Statement car. It's right. Look at me. Statement car.

It's Friday, December 1st, 2023, and Squawk Cloud begins right now.

Stand Becky by in 3.
