| 0:00.0 | Market moving insight and analysis join Jim Kramer, David Faber, and me, Carl Kintania, on the opening bell hour of CNBC Squawk on the Street. |
| 0:12.0 | Good Thursday morning. Welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm Carl Kaintena with Jim Kramer and David Faber, the New York Stock Exchange. |
| 0:18.0 | Futures are weak. Dow looks to go flat for the year once again as the number of coronavirus cases leaps by 1,000 overnight. We've got earnings from Coke, Verizon, Tesla, Facebook. We'll get to all of it. Europe's down about a percent, 10-year 157 now as Q4 GDP prints 2-1 and the weakest annual growth since 2016. Our roadmap begins with the virus fears hitting the street, |
| 0:39.6 | border closings, flight cancellations, business closings as the number of cases now surpasses |
| 0:45.0 | the total number of SARS cases in the 03 epidemic. We'll talk to the new head of the White |

| 1:46.2 | So this led to some positive but shallow sentiment towards us and towards the company. |
| 1:51.7 | And my goal for this next decade isn't to be liked but to be understood. |

| 2:01.3 | Jim, kind of an evolution of what they've been telling us for several quarters. |
| 2:06.9 | Yeah, that was the pull quote from the entire, it actually is a metaphor for what they're saying, |
