Taking their claims of economic injustice straight to the financial district. They are marching past wall street and the famed bull statue. Just moments ago, we got video of this to ensure that their miss ja message is heard loudly and clearly. Here are live pictures of groups gathering at this hour in los angeles. St. Paul, minnesota. And right now, the protests do appear to be peaceful at the moment. That, of course, is the way many of the protests around the nation actually began yesterday before descending into chaos in cities from new york to louisville to washington, d. C. Macys Flagship Store in Herald Square among the businesses attacked by looters. Today, businesses are bracing for another night of unrest. Lands end ceo is here to tell us how hes protecting his retail outlets while juggling the Coronavirus Crisis over the past couple of months. Images of looters attacking rodeo drive, one of the worlds top luxury destinations, has Beverly Hills just one hour away from a citywide curfew. Beverly hills councilman and former mayor joins us in a fox business exclusive to reveal his citys plans to maintain order and safety. Markets are sizing up all this political unrest and choosing to focus instead on the prospects of increasing economic activity. An asset which has been down earlier is now joining the dow and s p 500 in positive territory. The dow up 159. It and the s p near threemonth highs. What the looters didnt know about those iphones they stole from apple stores and how it might come back to bite them. Plus charlie breaks it on the billionaire who has both wall street and main street watching and listening during this time of crisis. Less than an hour to the closing bell, lets start the claman countdown. Liz all right. I know that we are looking at green on the screen and that is certainly a good feeling when it comes to investors and we are going to be going to our traders in just a moment. But we are looking at the looting in the wake of protests over the death of george floyd. It has spread across major swaths of retail but look at macys stock. It was already up 42 this quarter and it is showing real resilience, up another 9 right now despite looters last night, you see on your screen, ripping off the plywood that had boarded up this iconic Flagship Store in new york citys Herald Square. The looters did swarm in, stole merchandise, many of them were promptly arrested. Pharmacies were not spared. Walgreens Boots Alliance owned duane reade had to shut down a number of stores that were damaged. These are stores, by the way, that had worked so hard to remain open in all kinds of neighborhoods during the Coronavirus Crisis to fill peoples prescriptions and make sure they could serve their communities. The stock is up about. 25 . In the luxury end of the market, a rolex store located in manhattans soho shopping district got hit and hit badly. Police say looters stole nearly 2. 5 million worth of the swiss brands very high end watches. Simply made away with it. Well, as you see the shattered glass there and stolen rolexs, maybe rolex should consider this. You see this picture of an allegedly looted iphone . Apple has attached software to the stolen phones and electronics that not only disable and track the devices, but they also alert authorities. You can say it says please return to apples walnut street store, this device has been disabled and an alarm has been sounded. Apple, which had just begun to reopen stores postcoronavirus, now forced to close the majority of its u. S. Stores across the country including here in new york city because they have become targets of looters. The stock is flat on the session, standing at 321. 89 a share. All right. Now we take you to midtown manhattans diamond district. The countdown producer just shot footage of these major retailers such as the nhl store, gap and starbucks along with some of the other mom and pop stores, many of the Jewelry Stores on 47th street are independently owned. Windows boarded up and of course, that is there to protect against looters. 700 of whom were arrested last night alone in new york city. Retailers everywhere worried their stores might fall victim to a second night of looting. Lands end has 26 brick and mortar locations across the u. S. Which were already really struggling by multiple pandemic related closures like the rest of retail in this nation. Lands end ceo Jerome Griffith joins us live. Welcome. Thank you so much for being here. As if Coronavirus Crisis hadnt done enough damage, as the leader of a company with storefronts across america, how are you now working to get ahead of the possibility that violence and looting could come to your doorsteps . First of all, thanks for having me today. I really appreciate it. Its just a shame right now coming on the back of the coronavirus epidemic, now this for retailers. One of the things which is a little bit unique for us is most of our business is transacted online. Luckily we only have a very small amount of stores. But we have also been in areas that have not been majorly affected so far. We have been very lucky. Liz thankfully. Yeah. Yeah. I would think so. But clearly, as the leader of a company that has some two dozen or so storefronts and then you have your major part of your business that is online, is there anything in particular that you are doing as the ceo of a company that, like many other retailers that we are seeing on the screen right now, were probably not expecting to be hit and they were in a very very difficult way . The biggest thing is keeping our people safe. Thats number one. Our thoughts, our employees have gone through a lot in the last few months between furloughs, not being at work, they had to work remotely, now this. Our number one thing has been making sure our employees are safe, not just from the violence but also from the virus thats been out there. Liz you know, you were not only hit when it comes to the coronavirus by people who suddenly were worried if they had lost their jobs, they werent going to shop online for anything unless it was a necessity, but also, you provide at lands end the uniforms for many airlines. Can you talk about that business . Because the airlines have been down for the count certainly as we went from basically 180 to zero when it came to people flying for quite some time. Its pretty interesting. Youve gone from a very Strong Economy as we were coming out of 2019, then going into the beginning of fiscal 2020, our business was up in double digits. However, once march hit, it was a complete changeover, whereas before you would say oh, we had done a great job by being close to the travel industry and providing uniforms to the top airlines in the world, now you have gone to a situation where we are working with them to make it through to the other side. Liz im very very focused certainly on partnerships because we have talked to some companies, for example, realogy had a plan to partner with amazon and that kind of went up in smoke for a couple of reasons, but of course, the coronavirus shutdown did not help. Are you still on track for the partnership that you were expected to forge with kohls . Yes, we are. Its interesting, if you look a few years ago, you can only buy lands end product on our website or at sears. As we wound down the sears relationship which was worth about 300 million to us, we have looked at other places in order to gain that money back which has been through organic growth on our website through a partnership with amazon and through a few stores of our own. Now with kohls its opened us up to a much larger audience that has the same demographics. We will have our full assortment at kohls. Com and with about 150 stores we will have a smaller seasonal assortment. Liz i was looking at your stock, up 42 quarter to date. It is obviously slightly down today because of numbers that have come out that show you guys were affected certainly by coronavirus, but whats your message to investors and shareholders at this point as we look forward to what we hope is a better year . Many people talk about the apparel industry and have talked about some of the lows thats been in the apparel industry over the last two years. My opinion is its such a great time to be in the business. Theres so much new technology out there and so much innovation that if you are thinking forward and thinking of whats going to happen with consumer demand over the course of the next 12 to 18 months, theres a lot of opportunity out there. You just have to take ahold of it. We went into this quarter, you know, we had a lot of optimism. Then coronavirus very quickly brought that optimism down. As we work our way through april and the back half of april where we started to see lower double digit demand increases, then through may, where we saw higher double digit demand increases, then going into june, i think potentially, the economy has a very Good Opportunity to get right back on track. Liz do you believe in brick and mortar in the future . I think theres a percentage of customers out there that want to interact with a brand in brick and mortar or in a tactile way. I think the problem today is many retailers have overstored or oversized and they are in a bad way. I think for us, luckily, we really started out as an Ecommerce Company and the brick and Mortar Stores were really kuft mocustomer service centers. You have to figure out whats the right size, where should they be and how many do you need. We will always have to have them but we are taking a pause until we see what consumer demand will look like over the next year. Liz jerome, thanks for joining us. Its great to see leaders like you with measured messages and a good stock story, at least certainly as we look forward. Thank you for being with us. Thanks rgs liz. Liz any time.

You can see right now that there is a protest that appears to be very peaceful at the moment. There are police cars. There are police who are facing the actual protesters who are holding signs. Again, this does appear to be very peaceful at the moment. Lots of people with signs. You know, the thing about the looters that all the experts and Law Enforcement have noticed is they come in cars, not by foot. They are coming in cars with the license plates of those cars covered. In los angeles alone, they had multiple cars, 19 vehicles of looters that were connected to the looting that were impounded. That was just in one area. You have the National Guardsmen in los angeles as mayor Eric Garcetti requested their presence. But you look at the markets. Dow jones industrials up 145 points. Both the dow and the s p look to close at their highest levels in three months. For the past few sessions, markets have pretty much ignored the chaos all around the globe, not just in los angeles, and of course, in america. Cities around the country are preparing for another night of protesting and potential riots. Superimpose that over investors emotion and how do they separate whats happening on the streets and on their Television Sets to what their portfolio is doing and what they should do for their portfolio . Lets bring in our traders. Phil, you guys are experts certainly and tim as well, on how to separate the emotion from the actual moves when it comes to peoples money. What advice do you have for investors watching right now . You know, sometimes its very difficult, but what i always tell people is always try to drive looking through the front windshield. Dont try to look in the rear view mirror or get too impacted about whats happening right now. Because you have to look back in history. We have been through these type of uprisings before. We have been through this turmoil before. What we found out on the back end of it, you know, we usually come out to be okay. Thats not to minimize at all the emotional stress and the economic stress thats going to hit a lot of people over the next couple weeks and months, but generally speaking, we believe that once these protests stop, these businesses are going to rebuild and its going to have a minimal impact on the economy. Thats what the stock market is telling you. Its telling you to look at the big picture. We are going to get through this. I really believe in americans. People are angry, they are hurt, i understand that. But i think at the end of the day, we will come back together. We are going to be a better country after this is over and i think the stock Market Investors can see that and thats why i think we are performing so well. Liz thats a possibility, tim anderson. You have been down at the nyse for many many years. As you have watched different situations unfold, whether they be terrorist attacks or natural disasters, youve got to look at these things and then separate those emotions. What tricks do you have . What advice do you have for the viewers right now who are kind of concerned after having been through the ringer with the coronavirus . Well, i just couldnt agree with phil any more. I think he put it perfectly. This is really a text book example of the stock market and the economy or in this case, the News Headlines being two totally different dynamics. I think that with all of the protests and much of what has turned into rioting has shown people is that we are pretty much done with the lockdown from the coronavirus. I mean, were not really hearing anything about it for the last few days and most the states are moving now, a lot more rapidly than they were a week ago to get back to normal business environment. Now, businesses have another big challenge to deal with also, the potential looting, if they have big operations in major urban areas. But lets be realistic. This is not this is probably going to be going on for a few more days, not a few more weeks. So i think that the market is discounting where were going to be down the road. I would agree, too. Liz we see some real winners here. We also see a few losers. Tiffany and company, coty. When you start to look at the overall picture, i think youre right. I think the market is always a couple months ahead of what is in the here and now. S p 500 as we say on pace to close at the highest level since march. When we know what was going on in march, gentlemen. Its certainly a sigh of relief in that regard. Thank you so much, tim and phil. See you next time. We do have that closing bell ringing in about 40 minutes. We have our eyes, of course, on all thats happening but specifically the numbers. Financial markets are lifting the stock market. Specific financial stocks. Why is all of these except for jpmorgan down slightly are higher . The yield on the tenyear treasury rising, higher longterm rates usually benefit the big banks and so we have 2 gains for citi and morgan stanley. Goldman bringing up the rear, up 1. 5 . Bank of america up. 33 . Up next, the Worlds Largest asset manager jumping feetfirst into the inequality debate. Charlie gasparino has exclusive details on what blackrock chairman and Ceo Larry Fink plans to do and say next. Charlie breaks it when the claman countdown comes right back. Liz breaking news. We want to take you back to los angeles, because that previous protest that we showed you from the Helicopter Shot of kttv courtesy, you can see that it continues to be peaceful but they are now on the move and marching. Police are on the scene. What is rather stunning is that, you know, in just the area of hollywood alone, the precinct in hollywood broke their record for the largest number of arrests in a single day, 585. Now, many of them, were told, were curfew violations but some were for suspicion of looting. They impounded dozens and dozens of cars. Thats just one individual area. Here we have this protest and there are many across the city and across the county from venice to burbank. As americans face what could be depending on the area another night of potential unrest, one of the largest investment houses on wall street is looking to open up a real dialogue on the racial tensions that ignited both the violence as well as the many peaceful protests. Charlie gasparino has the story right now of blackrock and larry fink, who is lately unafraid to take on big issues. Charlie . Charlie yeah. Theyre not just one of the biggest money managers, they are one of the Worlds Largest, i believe 6 trillion under management. A big firm, larry fink built it from zero. Today, employees received an email alert that fink and several other executives will hold a global town hall to address racial equality and that town hall will occur on thursday between 10 00 and 11 00 a. M. Again, its interesting, a lot of ceos have put out statements about whats going on right now with the racial strife, the protests, the rioting and essentially, you know, saying that we need more diversity in the work force, that there are some underlying economic issues. As far as i know, larry fink is the first ceo essentially to do Something Like this. Its interesting in lot of ways. You can say its muchneeded dialogue. I would agree with that. But its interesting because i have been speaking with some blackrock executives and they are a little more cynical on this whole thing. They point out a couple things. Larry fink is a longtime democrat. Larry fink has always wanted to be treasury secretary, is what theyre telling me. They see this as a way to enhance his standing within the Democratic Party to get his name out there and they say he still wants to be treasury secretary if joe biden wins and this could be a possible springboard, a way to enhance his profile if that happens. Again, there are two ways of looking at this. A lot of people saying this is larry, larry believes in this stuff, believes in dialogue, hes been leading an effort internally for inclusion and to appoint more women and minorities to senior posts. But others are very cynical and they say, you know, its just a little its a step too far. Its beyond just trying to appoint people of color to various positions in executive ranks. This is taking another step. Its coming at this time, its coming during an election. Most people who know him say he would like a role in a Biden Administration so they take a cynical view of it. The other cynical view is, you know, larrys a smart guy but hes good at running money. How much more is he bringing to this debate. Its an interesting dialogue thats going on behind the scenes at blackrock when they got this email. Im not saying i agree with either side. I have known larry for a long time. Decent guy. He does have a social conscience, i will say. But thats what people are saying internally. Well see, if hes the first, the only or if other ceos take the tact. Some people are also internally saying listen, we are having these protests and riots, these protests are going beyond protests, they are going into riots. This is a Law Enforcement issue right now. So maybe nows not the right time. Listen, theres a vibrant debate inside blackrock over this. Liz what is the right time . Thats the thing. I applaud larry fink, i really do applaud larry fink for being a voice on wall street just like Tracy Maitland yesterday with advent capital. At what point do these guys make their money and do well which is fine, we are capitalists here, we are all for profits, but also, be part of the solution versus the problem. I think what larrys doing charlie let me ask you this. Liz its very valuable. Charlie let me ask you this. Blackrock is very good at running money. We know that. This is the cynical view. What is larry fink really going to do to add to this debate . What . Liz that is so cynical. What, hes not allowed . Its like saying that hollywood stars arent allowed to make a comment. You know, they are citizens, too. Charlie theres something known, this is the cynical view. Not saying i ascribe to it. Theres something that was very cynical. Everybody is for racial equality. You know, find some people, find anybody thats against it, i will buy you dinner. It just, its liz they wont admit it. Charlie theres debate whether this is just a little too cute on larrys part as hes trying as hes obviously, as they say, he obviously wants to have a role, political role in the new administration if biden does get elected. Im just giving you both views here. I know larry pretty well. Liz i get it. Charlie he does have a social conscience. Liz well, i will say this. Consider the alternative. Part of the problem with the occupy wall street situation that was sparked is this wealth gap where people take the money and run. Listen, again, we are procapitalist here but i think you cant just have inaction. Charlie just be real clear here. When wall street was digging itself out of 2008, who do you think made all that money helping the fed manage its Balance Sheet . It was larry fink at blackrock. Liz i get it. Of course. Hence, that makes it even better that he is also trying to be part of a solution to a burning, open wound. Charlie the skeptical view is that larry fink is virtue signaling. Theres a degree of limousine liberalism here. We are all for racial equality. The question is, this bad situation, do you use it to enhance yourself politically. That is a debate inside that firm. Im telling you people are saying it. I dont think its an absurd debate. Im telling you personally, i know larry does have a social conscience. Although i will say, you know, how much is he really going to add to this debate . I mean, you know liz all right. Im glad its a debate. Charlie i do, too. Liz you know what, despair doesnt work if people are also indifferent. Good on larry fink. Charlie, great story. Thank you very much. Charlie gasparino. Again, we still hold on to triple digit gains, paring back a bit for the dow jones industrials. Still up about 112 points. When we come back, Beverly Hills is 28 minutes away from a full curfew. 1 00 p. M. Pacific. We are going to Beverly Hills and the former mayor and current city councilman. Dont go away.

Pacific time curfew, as the National Guard makes its way into los angeles county. The l. A. Times reports that mayor Eric Garcetti requested 1,000 troops, half to assist the lapd and the other to help the sheriffs department. So we understand that National Guardsmen have actually arrived in Beverly Hills as well after rodeo drive retailers from Alexander Mcqueen to gucci to riteaid were ransacked by looters and rioters who took over after Peaceful Protesters had finished. John mirish is a Beverly HillsCouncil Member and former mayor of Beverly Hills and a fourgeneration Beverly Hills resident. John, thank you for joining us. Explain how the curfew will work and whether you feel that Beverly Hills is prepared for what may come tonight. Well, i certainly hope we are and i think we are, as last night proved the curfew is a precautionary measure, very simply, because of what happened as you mentioned, the looting on saturday. And it takes effect as you correctly mentioned at 1 00 and that just means that everyone should stay home. Nobody should go out. People who are out are in violation of the curfew and of course, that allows the police and the, you know, to take advantage of that to be able to ensure that there isnt any rioting or any illegal activity going on. Liz sure. You know, that was what was so shocking and what were looking at right now, rodeo drive stores from cartier to Alexander Mcqueen to riteaid. Lets just be honest. Its not specifically the luxury names, but to see one of the worlds sort of most famous renowned shopping areas attacked in pretty much broad daylight, shocked a lot of people outside of Beverly Hills. What was going through the councils mind . I know you guys had an emergency meeting today. We had an emergency meeting before and to be quite honest, id say we werent well enough prepared. This is something that shouldnt have happened. You know, we obviously want to distinguish between legitimate Peaceful Protesters who are making a point and i think that the Beverly Hills council, but the whole community, stands in solidarity with the Africanamerican Community because of what happened to george floyd and their unique history of suffering, and i think theres no doubt about that, but the problem is youve got a few people who seem to almost strategically be able to take advantage of peaceful protests in order to commit crimes such as looting. They are almost using the protesters as human shields to follow through with their crimes. I think we were not well enough prepared. I think to me, there was graffiti and you know, to me its not good but its acceptable, i suppose. I think the line is crossed when its looting. Its not because its gucci, not because its riteaid, not because of the individual stores. But that creates a sort of atmosphere in which people dont feel safe in their own homes. Thats really the larger issue. Unfortunately, youve got a few bad eggs who are taking the tragedy of the George Floyd Murder and who are twisting it. Liz you get the sense that the residents are feeling safe at this point, because nightfall may come, we know what happened over the weekend on sunday, where Peaceful Protesters were amassing along beverly boulevard, fairfax, and as i understand it, they tried some of them to breach Beverly Hills, they were turned back, but later were able to somehow get in. I think the residents were shocked by those images and frankly, so am i. I never would have thought i would see that sort of violence in our city. And you know, without going into all of the specifics of it, i think that the goal has to be to avoid that kind of violence while allowing peaceful protest. The problem is now, of course, because of that, and because some of the looters and criminals are using the peaceful legitimate protesters as human shields, we have to institute a curfew. It ruins things for everybody in so many ways. I think that the residents did not feel safe when they saw those images. Clearly the next day, what we saw in santa monica and long beach was even worse. That did not add to anybodys feeling of, you know, security in their own homes. And everybody should feel safe within their own homes. Of course, thats a problem in parts of the country where people, including african americans, dont feel safe in their homes and these are societal problems that we need to address. But everybody deserves to feel safe in their own home. Im guessing since they saw pictures of the National Guard that were deployed yesterday and as said, you know, they wouldnt have seen this but i saw them walking, you know, Beverly Drive in the evening, but we did send out images of the National Guard and we did send out images of the National Guard, so i think people feel safe but i think everyone, its a little bit like a tinderbox. Everyone is still sort of reeling from not the curfew but from the stayathome orders for covid, everyone is reeling from what happened on saturday. People are a little bit on tinterhooks and i really hope and think we need a period of calming down and of healing so we can, you know, theres not going to be were not going back to the normal that was before. One, from a covid perspective, theres a pre and postcovid world. I think its fair to say theres also a pre and postgeorge floyd world as well. I hope we are going to learn something from it and i hope we are going to collectively do something about it. Liz john mirisch, old friend of mine and we much appreciate you joining us, john. Thank you so much. Beverly hills is now 17 minutes away from a full curfew, 1 00 p. M. Eastern. Something that is really, really shocking for somebody like me who, yeah, thats my hometown. Closing bell, 17 minutes away as well. Up next, one of the business worlds big winners during the pandemic is about to reveal its quarterly results. Zoom Video Communications looks to up its security to cut down on those zoom bombings. Remember those . Thats straight ahead on the claman countdown. We are also watching the dow. Dont go away. vo since our beginning, our business has been people. And their financial wellbeing. Its evident in good times, with decisions focused on the longterm. And crucial when circumstances become difficult. That continued emphasis on people our advisors, associates, clients and communities gives us purpose, strength and a way forward. Today. And always. Liz folks, were about 11 minutes away from hearing that closing bell ring, but what i want to do right now is wind back the clock to this mornings opening bell, which in case you missed it, was out of this world. Astronauts Robert Behnken and doug hurley, who left our planet on saturday, via spacexs crew dragon capsule, joined by the commander of the International Space station, christopher cassidy, in ringing the nasdaqs opening bell this morning. Nasdaqs president called their journey a quote, Pivotal Moment in the development of the space economy and the new era of private human space flight. Good for them. Lets get to a company showing, well, call it out of this world gains during the pandemic. Video conferencing platform zoom, its stock popped to an alltime high yesterday and is adding another 2 on it today. Hitting 208. 48 at the moment. Ahead of Quarterly Earnings which are set to be released after the bell, we are waiting on this company, because it has been the king of stayathome and workathome stocks. Investors are expecting a hefty beat from the company that practically everybody has been using since the coronavirus closed businesses and schools across the nation. To Cheryl Casone in the fox business newsroom. I was looking at this, they are expecting Earnings Growth of 200 plus. Amazing. Cheryl the stock has rallied about the same. It really is incredible. Yep, they report after the bell. These are First Quarter numbers for the fiscal year. The question, though, here is this a oneoff earnings win for this company. Analysts say they are likely going to beat but by how much . Investors expect a big jump in paid subscribers and did they convert, heres the question, free users to paid users. Goldman sachs in a note said that is the biggest point to watch when these numbers come out. They are set to report earnings per share of nine cents and revenue of 66 cent surge. The stock has exploded this year, rallying 200 . The u. S. Going into lockdown in midmarch. They did reveal their user base had reached 300 million back in april and even though all 50 states have begun to relax their lockdown restrictions, not all workers are going to go back to the office. Some not for months, some next year, maybe, some never. That is definite workfromhome scenario could be the icing on the zooms earning cupcake later today. Facebook just to adhere, say they expect half their employees to telecommute for the next several years. There you go. Average target price on the stock as of now, about 128 a share. Its at 208 right now. I think you will get that. Youve got nine buy ratings, 15 holds, five sells on this one. Not everybody is so convinced that zoom is like the stock to own but at least today, if you own it, you are probably going to have a good, well, opening bell tomorrow, to your point. Back to you. Liz yeah. I dont know, though. Outdoing todays opening bell would be very very tough. Good to see you, cheryl. Did you notice this . We are now up 225. Just a moment ago we were up 175.

I want to quickly check the vix before we take you to heuston because houston right now has a protest at the moment. We do have courtesy of ktrk houston a shot of this. The volatility index is looking at the moment we have fear coming out of the markets. It is not really a bad picture at all. Were seeing on our screen, compared with no fear, down 4 for the volatility index, a very large crowd in houston appears to be very peaceful at the moments. Markets are perhaps playing at the moment what has been happening during the day where protests progress without violence, just that when the sun goes down and you start to secure fuse instituted. Santa monica, 1 00 p. M. Curfew, you will see the arrests happen and ramps up the violence markets have shrugged off the wave of protests but one thing that is going on the u. S.

Liz we can put in top holdings. Emerging markets, i keep hearing it is their turn, it us their turn. It hasnt been their turn. That is kind of a weak trade. What makes you think emerging markets will flex muscle around the globe that has real problems still . I think the dollar is part of the key. The relative evaluation argument has been in place for years. Emerging market value stocks have single digit pes. The u. S. Market with pes in the 20s. You have discounts, 60 to the u. S. You have similar growth rate. That argument has been in place for a while. The missing link has been the dollar. It appears the dollar could be rolling over. I think the dollar has a lot of different factors working against it. The technicals short term has been overvalued. It has been overvalued for a while. If you get the sentiment more riskon for investors, theyre definitely wall of worry still in place. We have to wait for that Inflection Point too. When that happens, the dollar gets weaker, i think you will see international outperformance. Liz yes or no, have we hit the absolute bottom of the markets . Is it now behind us . I think so, yes.
