This is Quack Pod. I'm C. M. C.C. producer Katie Kramer. Today on our

podcast Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO on a pandemic. We thought things would

take 10 years that have occurred in one year.

Consumer patterns have changed, people are online.

I don't think we're going back the way it was a year ago.

Look guys, if these systems have not been in place, our lives collectively as citizens of America

would be in much, much worse shape.

And COVID-19 is a long story.

The virus will be with us in one form or another

for the rest of our lives, hopefully under control,

just like the flu.

And the Republicans kick off Night one of the 2020 National Convention betting big on the

Plus big changes to the Dow and Joe, Becky and Andrew on anxiety.

It's 2020, this is 2020. Everything happens in 2020. It's 20-20. It's 20-20. Everything happens in 2020.

It's Tuesday, August 25, 2020, gangs all here, sort of.

Tune in at 6.30 for Joe Kernan's hair.
