Summary

Lawmakers are attempting to pass a funding plan in time to avert a government shutdown on Friday. The debt ceiling is expected to be part of that debate, but strategists do not expect it to be resolved at the same time. As for the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi expects it to be passed this week. However, CNBC’s Ylan Mui says voting may be pushed back from today's promised deadline. There will be a return to “normal life” within a year according to Pfizer CEO and Chairman Albert Bourla, who added that it’s likely annual Covid vaccination shots will be necessary. Former FDA commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb discusses what normal life may look like after boosters, vaccines for kids, Covid therapeutic pills, and a drop in Covid-related deaths. A co-founder of media company Ozy allegedly impersonated a top YouTube executive in an investor call with Goldman Sachs, according to a report by The New York Times. NYT also wrote that Ozy has been padding its online traffic stats while raising millions of dollars in funding. Plus, Facebook announced today it’s pausing its work on Instagram for kids, after facing a slew of backlash from users and lawmakers. In this episode: Scott Gottlieb, @ScottGottliebMD Ylan Mui, @ylanmui Joe Kernen, @JoeSquawk Becky Quick, @BeckyQuick Andrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkin
