Summary

In remembrance of September 11, 2001, New York Times foreign affairs columnist Tom Friedman, Cantor Fitzgerald and BGC Partners CEO and chairman Howard Lutnick, and CNBC’s Contessa Brewer reflect on that tragic day, how the world was shaped by it, and what’s next, at home and abroad. Lutnick remembers over two thirds of the Cantor Fitzgerald employees lost in the 9/11 attacks, and speaks to the Cantor Fitzgerald-BGC Partners annual Charity Day, in support of their families. CNBC’s Contessa Brewer reports on the physical, emotional, and financial impact, far beyond Ground Zero and far beyond 2001. Tom Friedman, author of ‘From Beruit to Jerusalem’ reflects on how 9/11 changed the players and the moves on the international, geopolitical stage. Plus, in light of today’s Covid-19 crisis, President Joe Biden has outlined a broad plan to increase Covid vaccination rates in the U.S. He announced a mandate that federal employees get a Covid vaccine, with no option for regular testing, and for health-care facilities that get Medicare and Medicaid funding to have staff fully vaccinated.
