Summary

In their first show from the same studio in over a year, Joe, Becky, and Andrew digest headlines from the long weekend: a cyber attack on a meat producer, a retail crypto trading frenzy in China, and airlines, back on the flight paths. Congress may be on recess, but CNBC’s Eamon Javers reports that the Hill is still abuzz with infrastructure bill negotiations. The New York Times columnist Tom Friedman discusses government spending and politics around the world, from China’s Covid-19 origin story to Israel’s and Palestine’s impact on the American Democratic Party. Plus, on the other side of the pandemic, shoppers are back in stores. Shopify President Harley Finkelstein talks entrepreneurship and says a vaccinated public won’t hinder the e-commerce boom. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
