"This final note on the way out today in which markets kind of shook off the geopolitical news of the day. Stocks we talked about already generally up. But I kind of thought oil would have reacted to the reports of Russian rockets killing two people in Poland, very not good, I think, is the official international relations phraseology for something like that. Still, even with oil being especially geopolitically sensitive, both the U.S. benchmark West Texas intermediate and the global benchmark Brent North Sea crude only up in the neighborhood of a percent or so. All right, we're going to go here though is your moment of economic context just because Matt Levin was talking about housing earlier. Saw this item from Redfin, the real estate brokerage that said your average home buyer has to make just over a $107,000 a year a 107 grand. To afford the $2600 monthly mortgage payment that comes with a typical home in this economy. And here's the kicker. That a $107,000 is up from $73,000 just a year ago. Higher mortgage rates, sticky home prices, lather, rinse, repeat, right?

"The national labor relations board is a federal agency tasked with making sure workers can organize. To improve their working conditions, wages, form a union, but the NLRB says some employers are using technology to prevent or discourage workers from doing just that. The agency released a public memo, saying it plans to protect employees from, quote, intrusive or abusive electronic monitoring and automated management practices. Things the NLRB says are increasingly happening as the technology gets better and companies seek more oversight of what their workers are doing, especially with more people working remotely. Jennifer bruzzo is general counsel for the agency and author of the memo, and she told me about some of the new surveillance methods that concern her. You know, these advances have dramatically expanded employer's ability to monitor and manage employees within the workplace. So we're not looking at any one particular tool we're actually looking at all of them to see what sort of impact the use of those tools may have on workers rights. Can you give us a scale or sort of an idea of the scope of tools that employers have at their disposal to sort of keep an eye on what employees are doing? And warehouses, for example, they can record conversations, they can track movements through cameras, in call centers, they can record keystrokes, you know, certainly even before an employee becomes an employee and is an applicant, they can pry into private lives by scrutinizing social media, by giving personality tests to try to determine their propensity for, let's say, union support, for example. So there's any number of technological tools that they can use that may impact the rights of workers at the workplace. And actually even beyond the workplace at their homes. So why release this memo sort of flagging that the NLRB is paying attention to this, why put this out now? What we decided to do was put out a public memo that offer transparency to employers to labor organizations to work our advocacy groups and workers writ large that the NLRB in particular is looking at these technologies and the use of them as well as the use of the data that they accumulate to see if the impact on workers rights is such that it is interfering with their ability to communicate with one another at the workplace and try to improve their wages or their working conditions because if in fact there is interference that is a violation of our statute. You talk about improving work situations specifically, this memo mentioned surveillance tech potentially being used to stop workers from organizing in their workplaces, maybe to form a labor union, what sort of surveillance behavior are you seeing in that regard? So there's always been for an extended period of time a violation of the act if there is actual surveillance or if you give the impression of surveillance and through the expansive use of these technology tools that track the movements of workers, record their conversations, record their keystrokes. There are never becomes a time or a place for workers to actually feel comfortable without feeling that they either are being surveilled or could be surveilled and we haven't really got into algorithmic management, which may preclude people from actually taking breaks with one another or at all, and therefore they're unable to actually engage with one another at the workplace to talk about workplace issues. This term you've used a couple times, algorithmic management, I think a lot of people may not be familiar with that term. Can you say a bit more about what it is and why it concerns you? Sure. So I mean, it is using technological tools to drive decision making. Those decisions, as I said, they happen oftentimes in real time. So there's a very breakneck pace of work and if workers are not able to keep up, they will be disciplined for that. Could even be fired because of that. So the data that is obtained through these technological tools are detrimentally affecting workers, not only their terms and conditions of employment, Vis-à-vis whether they can go on breaks or not, but it is also affecting whether or not they'll actually be able to remain in the workplace because they could be disciplined or otherwise terminated for not meeting whatever or efficiency standards are put in place. How do you try to balance what might be justified surveillance in the workplace either to do things like prevent theft or make sure people are doing the jobs that they're paid to do versus the kind of surveillance or monitoring that potentially violates employees rights. You know, certainly employers have their managerial interest to maintain production and discipline. An employer can show that the practices are actually narrowly tailored to address legitimate business need. The board will conduct a balancing test to determine whether the employer's business needs outweigh the interference to employees, workplace rights. But I think that when you're talking about electronic monitoring and algorithmic management, if in fact, the board finds, yes, the employer's managerial interests outweigh the section 7 rights of employees in this particular instance. The employer still nonetheless should advise employees of the technology that it's using. What's being used, why it's being used and how that data is going to be potentially affecting their working conditions, then employees can intelligently exercise their rights and take appropriate measures to preserve the confidentiality of their actions because oftentimes people want to keep their actions confidential until a time where they feel comfortable in addressing the concerns with their, with their employer.

"All right, we are going, but here's your moment of economic context. Shares of the pharmaceutical company, Eli Lilly fell four and a half percent today. Why I hear you ask because somebody with 8 bucks and a couple of images of the official company logo paid Elon Musk to get a verified account. And then yesterday afternoon, that account, which was verified, but not really verified. Tweeted out that insulin was free. Funny? I mean, yeah, I guess so, but four and a half percent taken off a company with a $334 billion market capitalization. Pretty soon you're talking real money. It's all fun and games, right?

"Diagnosing and containing a disease outbreak or the health effects of a disruptive event like a natural disaster can be a huge task. A study out today from New York University suggests a new machine learning model could improve health officials ability to respond to future, say pandemics and other public health crises. The research was a partnership with Carnegie Mellon and New York City's Department of Health and mental hygiene. Daniel Neal is a computer science professor at NYU and the director of its machine learning for good laboratory, which released the study. And he walked me through how this machine learning model works. Our approach uses textual data from emergency department visits. So in particular, the main thing that the patient has come to the emergency department for. And that textual data contains a lot richer data than just a person has flu like symptoms. We might know exactly what kind of symptoms they have or what they've been exposed to. And so by detecting patterns in this textual data, we can surface new outbreaks, things that public health was not already looking for, as well as other sorts of events. How might this algorithm be deployed in health department to maybe identify new or unidentified disease outbreaks? The hope is that public health departments would actually be running this sort of approach on a daily basis where each day the algorithm would surface clusters in the past, let's say, 24 hours of data that public health could look at and if necessary respond to. It can also help public health deal with all of the myriad things that they have to address on a daily basis, which could be a cluster of cases comes in from smoke inhalation. Or there's some sort of chemical exposure or we're seeing a new cluster of drug overdoses because of some new synthetic drug. So again, the goal is to give them day to today awareness of everything that's going on in their jurisdiction. So maybe you might spot a, I don't know, an outbreak of something like legionnaires disease. Earlier than you would otherwise. Yeah, that's right. That's a nice example of something with rare symptoms. And you can also imagine if something comes along with novel symptoms, things we've never seen before, like it's causing people's noses to turn blue and fall off. Now it shouldn't take very many cases of something like that for us to realize that we've got something new and different that public health needs to deal with. But the irony is that typical disease surveillance systems will just map those to your existing syndrome categories and essentially miss the fact that they're actually something novel there. So what we provide is a safety net to catch all of those sorts of events that other systems might miss. What happens if there's a lapse in the data, or just don't have people talking about their symptoms? That's right. That's absolutely a limitation of the system, which is its dependent on data quality, data availability, and data timeliness. So for example, if a jurisdiction is not getting emergency department data from local hospitals in a timely fashion. That's going to impact all of their ability to respond to any patterns in that data. Similarly, if there were major errors in the way data was collected, those have the potential to propagate into what we can detect using that data. Also, you're absolutely right. Things that might not result in emergency department visits would not necessarily be detectable through this particular data source. There are, however, a wide variety of data sources that public health do use for outright detection. One of the ways you all test it out this algorithm was looking at data that came into hospitals after hurricane sandy. Can you walk me through what you saw and how the algorithm responded to it? Sure, we found a very interesting progression of clusters of cases in New York City emergency departments. In the day or two after sandy hit, we saw kind of what we'd expect, which is a lot of acute cases, people coming in with leg injuries or shortness of breath or other things that are kind of direct results of the hurricane's impact. A couple of days after that, we started seeing clusters of cases related more to mental health issues. So people coming in with things like depression and anxiety. And then a few days after that, we saw yet another type of cases. We saw people coming into the emergency department for things like dialysis, or methadone maintenance. Now, these are all things that typically would not be dealt with in a hospital emergency department. But because all of the outpatient clinics were closed, people essentially had to use the ED for those reasons as well. So what this really shows us is the progression of different stresses on an emergency department in the aftermath of a natural disaster. And I think it's very informative to hospital 80 personnel knowing what they might need to anticipate and be ready for and have adequate resources to address all of these different sorts of problems. Why is using machine learning a better tool for this particular set of public health problems than the way that we've been doing it before? By no means is this a task where AI should be replacing humans. So what our system does is it makes the humans the health epidemiologists aware of events that are emerging in the data that they might not otherwise see. So surfacing what is important in all of this massive complex data, if that a human might care about and might want to respond to is really the key.

They're going to do everything they can Due to disguise the coverage is because they're gonna try toe confuse Tom Brady. They're also gonna be applying pressure on a guy who's got some of the best pocket presence that any of the quarterback in the league take a listen to Frank Clark, though, describe why it's so hard to take down Brady. You got these shows. Have you ever seen Tom Brady shoulders when he ended Crockett? Come on, man. You gotta put the film up for this. Y'all got attached to film me this video to the shoulder's been crazy sometime. I ain't got nothing against nobody, You know, a 43 year old age range around those aides.

There's a great chance that that happens much like it did last year. You don't even have to worry about laying the spread.

CNBC's Fast Money
CEO, Chairman of MGM Resorts Jim Murren steps down
"We've got to kick it off with broken last hour on. MGM CONTESSA BREWER BACK CNBC HQ with some numbers and a big executive departure contestants Brian Big news from Mgm Resorts Chairman and CEO. Jim Marin is leaving. He's been at the helm of this organization. Since two thousand twelve in fact was mentored by founder Kirk Kerkorian and will remain in this post. I'm told until a successor is found. This comes at a time fraught with uncertainty for the company it's Casinos Gino's or closed in Macau because of Corona Virus Far East visitors aren't playing Bacharach in Las Vegas. The way they used to that led last quarter do an eighteen percent drop in table. Able Games those headwinds have caused the company to withdraw. Its full year guidance. It's expanding massive energy effort dollars to secure gaming license in Japan for an integrated resort. It's new casino in Springfield Massachusetts is struggling. SNP were out with a note questioning MGM's credit and its ability to sustain long-term Corona virus disruption without raising its risk of default. And then you have activists investors like Keith Meister. Who was named to the Board Board last year? Really Agitating for change here. Three hundred million dollars. In big cost cutting initiatives at MGM resort they're selling premier properties like the Bellagio and MGM. Am Grand on this trip. This is a company Brian in the midst of upheaval. The call has just started. I'm going to jump on on bringing back any headlines that I find please do contests a thank you very much charlie. Let's talk about this guy's not a segment. We talk about too much but tim kind of an odd departure. MGM Yeah The stock up eighteen percent over six months which is good did not as good as the market. It's outperformed Las Vegas Sands not like this company's been tanking but now and as it should it certainly would the focus that's been on Makara remember. MGM Reminding Audience Audience. There are about thirty percent of the revenues coming from China whereas you know win seventy five percent so very different profile on risk as was just talked about the fact that. MGM has been doing everything they can to improve their balance. Sheet makes the stock a lot more defensive so again the sale of the ground they sold their property at fifteen point. Fifteen and three quarters times multiple a on ebitda which is which is very attractive and I think something that gets them down to that one times leverage they were trying to do so I think casinos thrown around here. A lot of these stocks were breaking gap before we got into Corona virus and again those that actually are exposed. I like casino. I should have said this Karen WYNN resorts up eight and a half percent a year. MGM's up twice. That I mean it's again it's not like this spin some horrible underperformer well. There's one thing in the released today. That was really interesting. The tender offer that MGM announced to the Doing one point to five billion and a tender off a Dutch tender. So you can somewhere between twenty nine and thirty four so they're basically giving you somewhat of a floor for at least some portion of the companies thirty even while they're saying we have no idea what. The outlook is based on corona virus. That's sort of interesting to me that they're willing to do that. At a time of such uncertainty sort of goes to your point of I mean they must also stocks undervalued. If they're willing to step up in that way right now so interesting couple of Friday's go Scott hosted the show we were. It was probably not the peak necessarily Sara Corona virus. But obviously we were talking about it in Las Vegas Sands vacillating around the sixty five level and we talked about that being your level for an entry point being that it was the previous high back over the summer. Scott question US correctly. Why would you step in here and to Tim's point because a lot of these names have gotten bludgeoned on the back of it I mean? LVS CBS was absolutely breaking out to the upside prior to this and we talked about that sixty five. They'll now here at seventy one. I think it does take out that. Recent high of seventy I five and it's cheaper than GM nineteen times words MGM's probably premium into space close to twenty two and a half so I'm not saying Fitch MGM here. But I am. I'm staying stay long. LVS The idea being that eventually hopefully sooner than later corona virus will be a footnote in history. Let's hope sooner than later. And and the one thing we've learned about the consumer whether it's the American consumer or somebody Macau or wherever else does a casino if they WANNA go. They're going to go and they're gonNA it comeback quickly and the consumers healthy and the consumer at least we can talk all we want about household debt and certainly some of the sensitivities are interest rates but but if you think about where casinos were after the financial crisis in two thousand eight into nine the consumers in a totally different place they had. They had repaired the balance sheet and that was not a place to come in and buy casinos again. So as you pointed it out this is this is a High Avis. Certainly going to be an awful February Gross gaming revenues in January. We're down eleven point three percent they're going to be significantly worse in February for those exposed to Akao but this is not something that doesn't correct itself. I think as you get through into the second quarter assuming we get through this and I know that's that may be insensitive to the to the to the health issues that are out there. But we've seen this before in terms of Asian assets coming through the SARS virus. Yeah because I would assume tim you would say and I don't WanNa go anything on our coverage coming up in a couple weeks when the next starting sees it as out but you gotta just right off the first quarter right. I mean first. Quarter you
