b"One day after the tech sell-off dragged Nasdaq to its lowest levels since June, Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber led off the show with an in-depth look at Facebook: The stock tumbled Monday after Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp experienced outages for hours -- which followed allegations from Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, who accuses the social media giant of allowing the spread of misinformation and putting profits ahead of the public good. The anchors discussed what to expect from Haugen's Tuesday testimony before a Senate subcommittee, what's at stake for CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook stock, a survey indicating Instagram is losing popularity among teens, and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey appearing to take a shot at Facebook in a one-number tweet. On the pandemic front: Johnson and Johnson officially asked the FDA to approve its COVID vaccine booster shot for emergency use -- and Southwest joined the list of airlines requiring employees to be vaccinated. MGM Resorts CEO Bill Hornbuckle joined the program from the Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas. Contessa Brewer and the anchors interviewed him about everything from the state of gaming in Vegas and Macau to DraftKings' bid to acquire Entain of the U.K. Also in focus: Cramer's take on buying the dip, what teens are saying about Netflix in a survey, Nike and the China effect, supply chain concerns, PepisCo rises on earnings, and a look at the energy stocks helping to lead the S&P 500 higher."
