Everybody. Well see how the nasdaq settles. It is just about at that level right now. Look at big tech titans, microsoft, amazon, alphabet, facebook, apple, all those individual stocks down significantly today. Apple down nearly 7 . Apples market cap falling below the two trillion dollar milestone as well. On top of that, it is the worst day for oil in three months, sliding to the lowest level since june. Well cover all angles of this. Fox Business Team coverage, blake burman at the white house, gerri willis and Edward Lawrence standing by with their reporting. We begin market panel, carol roth and gary kaltbaum, kaltbaum Capital Management a fox news contributor. Let me start, gary, with the big rotation out of the big cap momentum stocks, particularly technology, the last three sessions i guess and it continued in a big way today. So where do you see all of this going . Well, look, the only thing more overdue than a correction in technology is if my knicks win the. [banba championship. We had a magnificent run in tech. I called for a meltup in tech for a while. Big institutions, that drive the market, they went from buyers to big sellers quickly. It is continuing here. Not that anything is wrong or anything changed. It is a gargantuan rally. Nasdaq is up over 30 this year in the midst of a pandemic. We really do forget when things are so good corrections do happens. Sometimes they go into the teens. I think you will see that here in tech. I wouldnt be surprised to see the nasdaq down near the 10,000 first before we can turn back up. Connell right. That is a quick 10 off of that high reached just last wednesday, carol. All of that happening with the calendar saying we have an election on november 3rd. How is positioning for that playing into that. You start thinking about Capital Gains and start thinking about sectors that might do better under one scenario than the other . What about election positioning in the market . Welcome to september, particularly in year a lot of concern beginning of november, we might not even know who the president is. So i think that this is one of those times when fear is spiking up. Why youre seeing this rotation. In terms of positioning, i do think it is prudent to add a little bit of insurance to your portfolio, if you have not been doing so. The fear gauge right now is going crazy and the fact that we have all of this conflicting information, not a lot of really great information coming now, what were seeing in oil, what weve heard from the fed, concerns about china, there is just a lot of concern, fear, uncertainty in the market. So i agree with gary, you could see this going lower again before it goes higher. Connell if thats the case then, gary, how do you position yourself for that . If youre taking some facebook profits, say, for example, where does that money go . Where is a sensible place to park it for now . All i can tell you on thursday i went from 90 invested down to 10 invested because im a technology guy. I saw what was coming. I know the opposite side of good in technology can be very bad. So what i simply do right now i keep score on a daily basis what names are holding up best in the worst of markets because when things turn, the names that hold up best will lead coming back up and typically it is those names that have the strongest earnings and sales growth. I have them in a bunch of software names. I have names like amazon and facebook and the like have very good numbers. Even apple, not the greatest of numbers but for their size some pretty darn good stuff but right now you have just to recognize that sellers have the upper hand. These stocks got so overowned and overleveraged right now. That is why youre seeing a little sharper downside than the norm. My other worry though right now is financials are, never really got going, theyre starting to gag too. I think this is a correction that will have some teeth at least into september. Well reevaluate in a few weeks. Connell, if i can add on the Technology Front there was that unmasking so to speak of the nasdaq whale as softbank going in and buying not only Large Technology positions but significant amount of options. There is a lot of fear from professional investors that the unwind of that trade could have a big impact on the market. So just in terms of it needing to take a breather, i think that is one of the big catalysts. Once that gets out of the market, that is when you also can see a turnaround. Melissa yeah. That is a great point without question. Meanwhile no spark. Tesla plunging, closing down more than 20 after not being included among the Companies Joining the s p 500 on friday. Gary, i mean the stock had been on a tear, was up Something Like 400 yeartodate but at the same time, you know with four, i believe it was consecutive quarters of profitability, there were those who thought that it would become part of the nasdaq, of the index. What are your thoughts . Teslas stock went up 50 on the announcement of the stock split. There is no way that can continue up. So this is the comeuppance. Also you know, the larger the split, not that the greatest characteristic of a continuing bull market in there. So again all the most famous, greatest names that could overown are now will stay under pressure for a while. And it will be my job to sit back to wait and see where buyers finally get the upper hand. I can tell you were not near there yet. I suspect there will be some more just remember a lot of these stocks are margined heavily. Margin has to come off first before that occurs. I cant say it enough. These things had monsterous move. The old line about trees growing to the sky, they can get to the sky but eventually they come back down. That is all youre seeing right here. Dont be the last one in. Let them come down. You find them cheaper. Melissa carol i think i said nasdaq. I had nasdaq on the brain, i meant the s p. You know what i meant. What do you think about this move, do you think this stock is grossly overvalued where it is . I think this is a cult of personality stock. While i applaud tesla for doing the things that it has done, we all left it for dead, not too long ago and it has come roaring back, it is really all about elon musk. Unfortunately from a governance standpoint, that is not necessarily a great thing. I think that is part of why the S P Committee decided to leave it out and it is not just the type of stock i like to own. I think it is too impossible to value. There are a lot of fan investors so to speak. They are investing in it because they believe specifically in elon musk. I just think he is too much of a wild card for it to be a meaningful investment for Something Like me who is more of a long Term Investor instead of a trader. Melissa i completely agree with you. That is why i think they left it out as well. Interesting to see how those things work. Carol and gary, thanks to both of you guys. Connell. Connell all right, President Trump on the move, melissa. The president just wrapping up in florida this hour. Now he will head to north carolina. He has a Campaign Event in that key swing state this evening that is the backdrop as we bring in blake burman live at the white house with more on the president. Blake. Reporter connell, rarely does a election go by in state of florida where issue of offshore oil drilling doesnt become a front and center in that state. President trump made it very clear, extended moratorium on the west coast of florida and also expanding it to floridas east coast along with the coastlines of florida and georgia. The president contending it will not impact his desire to have the Country Energy independent. Watch. Thanks to my administrations proamerican Energy Policy we can take this step, the next step, remaining the number one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world. Were the largest producer now in the world by far. Were number one in the world. We are energy independent. Reporter President Trump off to the swing state of north carolina. He will give a speech there later today. Back here in Washington Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell released what is being described as a skinny relief bill which his office says is roughly 300 billion. It calls for just to name a few things, that 300dollar federal unemployment benefit through the end of the year. Ppp loans up to two billion dollars for the hardest hit businesses. 50, 105, rather, billion dollar education stabilization fund. Now democrats say lower, the price tag, republicans initially came out with a one trillion dollar plan. Now it is 300 billion. Democrats say lowering that price tag is a nonstarter, absolute nonstarter. I just heard back from a white house official, melissa and connell, who described this to me as a serious targeted proposal. At least for the moment the white house is standing behind what Mitch Mcconnell put forward. Back to you. Connell all right. More on that a little bit later in the hour. Blake, thank you. Melissa. Melissa here now to discuss is James Freeman from the wall street journal. He is assistant editor of the editorial page. He is also a fox news contributor. James, thank you so much for joining me. What do you think of how much the gap has closed in florida . You know that would imply that we think the polls are accurate or at least that the trend is accurate. I dont know how you feel about that. If you have anymore faith in them now than we did a month ago what do you think . Certainly a tight race. I think the trump team has got to be excited about that new nbc marist poll showing the race tied, with trump with an edge among latino voters. You mentioned he likes to stress the economy wherever he goes. He is trying in his florida trip, especially. I think well hear it at other places to talk about conservation versus environmentalism which is increasingly defined by joe biden and others as really making big changes to the economy, phasing out fossil fuels. The president is talking about, sort of air and water issues maybe closer to home. Cleaning up the everglades. Maintaining national parks, this sort of thing. Well see if that sings to that voters. Melissa yeah. I mean i thought that was interesting as well. Does it, do you feel like the research and the vibe and everything supports, it must, otherwise i dont know why he would be out doing it and saying it right now . Is it surprising to you that is what the audience wants to hear. It is a moratorium on drilling, when we continued to talk about how important drilling is, but leaning towards fracking and also talking about they have had a huge problem with red tide and those other issues along the florida coast. Certainly that is a huge part of everyones Property Value and livelihood and the tourist industry and all of that kind of stuff . Well i think he is trying to strike a balance. We talked about on this program how a lot of times when you poll people on environmental issues, particularly the climate, they express a great deal of sympathy with doing something about it, but not so much enthusiasm about spending tons of money. I think this is part of the strategy. The president obviously had a lot of success in terms of limiting regulation, putting in reforms to allow Economic Growth but i think he also wants people to nope that he is not talking about just, sort of no rules environment where they cant depend on clean air and clean water. I think that is what he is trying to do here. He will also talk about a bill he signed last month to dedicate some of the royalties the federal government collects from energy, oil and Gas Development to improving national parks. A lot of the maintenance that has been ignored for years and years. This of all years, people are heading out camping a lot more. I think that might resonate with some people. Melissa no, yeah, that is a great point. Real quick before we run out of time, there is a lot of talk today about the president putting money into his own campaign. This idea that he has spent a ton during the coronavirus. He says to battle back against the lies that democrats are telling. At the same time, you cant change the channel or go anywhere without seeing a joe biden ad. Theyre pretty compelling. A bunch of the ones i see have him looking directly into the camera. My son walked by the tv what are they showing . He thought it was a speech. The way they shot it, it doesnt feel like an ad. He is doing better job than he might normally reading prompter, talking offthecuff perhaps. Is this an Effective Campaign . Do you think it will make a difference . I dont know. The money raised by joe biden has been impressive, that is for sure. The president told reporters today before leaving for florida that he is going to spend whatever it takes to win. He says this is the most important election in years or maybe ever but melissa ever. I wonder how much paid advertising really matters to a, in an environment like this where you have so much media that is hostile to the president , im not sure buying the additional hostile messages on some other Cable Networks is really going to move the needle but the president says he is ready to match biden on the spending. Melissa well, far be it from me to criticize Television Ads that pay my salary. So i will leave it there. Thank you so much. Dont bite the hand that feeds you man. Connell .

Melissa a dose of help. U. S. Health experts are waiting to find out if the company can have a safe and effective vaccine by the end of the year, maybe sooner. Our own Edward Lawrence is live in washington with details. Edward . Reporter melissa, two companies have publicly said they will have enough date to submit for approval of the vaccine in october. Talking about astrazeneca and biontech. Moderna will not be far behind. All three vaccine makers in phase three trials around the globe. President trump making sure that voters know that. Weve done a great job with covid. Weve done a great job with the china virus a great job. Whether it is ventilators or whether it is vaccines which you will be seeing very soon or therapeutics, weve done a great job. Reporter an to justify early approval, nine vaccine makers signed a pledge that they will follow guide loons established from the regulatory agencies from the fda. The guidelines some on the screen. Using diverse clinical group. People in trials will not know if theyre getting a vaccine or placebo. Over the weekend senator Kamala Harris said she would not trust President Trump on the vaccine. Vice President Joe Biden says sometimes the president gets the facts wrong, that it fosters doubts in peoples mind about the safety of vaccine. Today dr. Anthony fauci saying unlikely but possible we could see a vaccine in october. Hhs administrator alex azar says theyre filing the science. What do we know . We think it is credible that weville tens of millions of doses in the fda Gold Standard vaccine by the end year. We will get data when clinical end points are met. Reporter the cdc is reasking states to relax regulations to have Distribution Centers in every state that could possibly get ready for november 1st. They want them to be operational. There are hundreds of thousands of doses already on the shelves that have been made through help by the federal government. Back to you, melissa. Melissa edward, thank you. Connell . Connell all right, dr. Lloyd minor is with us now. Dr. Minor the dean at the Stanford School of medicine. Weve had so many of these discussions over the last couple weeks about timing, whether the vaccine is ready to go in october. Dr. Fauci saying unlikely before the election. Others say it will be here by the end of the year. What should we takeaway in terms of just in regular person looking at the odds of a vaccine and when it might come out . When should we be realistically expecting do you think . I think realistically it is unlikely a vaccine will be available for wide distribution in october. Now by the end of the calendar year i think there is reason to be optimistic. I think we have to emphasize that the regulatory bodies, the fda, the cdc, have put in place some very careful guidelines that have been seasoned and tested for many other vaccines and therapeutics. We need to make sure those guidelines are followed, which is the purpose of a phase three trial and the submission of data for review. If those guidelines are followed, then i feel confident when a vaccine is ultimately released that it will be safe and effective and it should be used widely in the country. Connell do you have any reason to believe that the guidelines wouldnt be followed and is stanford participating in any of these vaccine trials . I have no reason to believe that the guidelines would not be followed. Certainly it is important to emphasize the importance of those guide lines. Yes, we had stanford are participating in two of the trials thus far, the janssen, Johnson Johnson trial and also the novavax trial. And enrollment for us in those trials will begin in september or october and were also looking at other trials that we could participate in as well. Its important that as was emphasized on the report just previously that diverse populations be tested with the vaccines because that way well know for what groups each vaccine is the most effective that will guide then ultimately the distribution of the vaccines when they are approved by the fda. Connell now there are different types of vaccines, right, that different companies, whether it be Johnson Johnson and moderna down the list . Is there anything we should know about the types of vaccines being tested, how they relate to normal vaccines we take for other viruses or diseases and whether that should make someone more likely to be accepting this time . Because at the end of it, will be a big part, right . Buyin from the public . Whether or not theyre willing to go out and get the vaccine . Absolutely. The buyin and the trust of the public will be critically important. That is why emphasizing the guidelines put in place, having our federal officials speak to those guidelines and assure all of us that they will be followed and making sure that the data is transparent. That experts from around the country have the opportunity to review the data being submitted by the pharmaceutical companies. There are a lot of different approaches to Vaccine Development that are being deployed for covid19. Thats a good thing. Were not reliant just on, were not relying just on one method or one approach. In particular it is important to note that some of the vaccines, the moderna, the pfizer vaccine, because they represent a new approach, theyre using genetic material, rna, those vaccines have to be kept cold. So what the cdc recommended last week of setting up a Distribution System is a smart thing to do because well have to have what is called a cold chain to be able to safely get those vaccines where they need to be. Connell all right. That is an interesting component of it all. Well watch that and everything else, dr. Minor, good to have you on again. Thank you, well check back in as the process continues.

Melissa Northwestern University in illinois deciding to reverse course, keeping first and secondyear students off campus after the school reported its highest weekly number of confirmed covid19 cases. Administrators deciding to give the students a break on tuition. Grady trimble is live in evanston, illinois with more. Grady. Reporter melissa, those freshmen and sophomores will take all online classes. Because of that as you said the university is offering them a break in tuition. Northwestern is reducing the tuition for the fall quarter by 10 . That likely only amounts to a couple thousand dollars for most students but it is still quite a bit more than many colleges are doing which is charging the full amount for a virtual education. Northwestern made this decision to keep underclass men off campus and out of dorms just days before they were set to move in. The university is also keeping sorority and fraternity houses closed. Theyre doing so to have more space to quarantine the upper class man if it comes down to that. Administrators rough wags cases rise on other campuses across the country. Other big 10 schools like the university of wisconsin are restricting what students can do on campus to essentially going to class and getting food. The university saying in a statement, weve reached the point where we need to quickly flatten the curve of infection or we will lose the opportunity to have campus open to students this semester. And elsewhere, West Virginia university announced that it is going all online through september 25th as cases rise at that campus and the officials there are blaming it once again on parties.

Connell fox business alert own the nasdaq officially entering what we call a correction, meaning it is already down 10 from a recent high and that recent high was a record close it hit just last wednesday. So that was fast. The dow plunging more than 600 points. Today the s p down nearly 3 on the day. It is the steepest threeday decline for the has in six months, the largest threeday loss in three months for the dow and s p 500. Melissa. Melissa a pair of new york city politicians joining forces with restaurants to demand Indoor Dining resume at half capacity. The group filing a lawsuit against Governor Andrew Cuomo and mayor bill de blasio that says they are acting in an arbitrary manner, no kidding, by keeping Indoor Dining closed and they want a judge to intervene. With me is one of those politicians, Republican State Assembly woman, nicole maletakis. She is currently a candidate for u. S. Congress. Thanks for joining us. This isnt just a new york issue. This is what weve seen across the country with a local government saying they will follow the science and ignoring the science. We have been down below a 1 infection rate for a month now, and there is no timeline whatsoever when they will open Indoor Dining. It is crippling the local Small Business owners, the working poor. People who work in restaurants for minimum wage and delivery guys, all of it, it is crippling the Restaurant Industry. Do you think you have a chance of fighting back . We absolutely do and today we were joined by restaurants that have had enough. They have met the metrics, we as a city have met the metrics set by Governor Cuomo, yet were the only municipality in the state of new york that is not allowed to have any form of Indoor Dining. As you mentioned there have been 30 straight days, less than 1 . We actually have a lower positive of cases in terms of testing than other municipalities in the state that are open but because we have a mayor who is saying that, dining is somehow just for the affluent in his personal beliefs, not scientific or not the metrics, we are not allowed to open like the rest of the state. I would like to point out that 200,000 individuals who rely on the Hospitality Industry here in new york for jobs, to support their families, to put food on the table for their families. That is who the mayor and the governor are truly hurting in addition to those hardworking proprietors that put their blood, sweat and tears into their restaurants. Melissa it is really hard to understand why theyre doing this and if you look at a comment from the governor he says it is better to have people unhappy than sick, which just seems to be totally out of touch with whats going on. You have the mayor as you said saying that Indoor Dining is about upper middle class and upper class people, was the comment he made which is completely insane because what it is about people trying to work in the restaurants and the people who own those restaurants and have their entire lives tied up in them, makes me wonder what do you think is behind their unwillingness to reopen inside restaurants . Because they dont have the science on their side and theyre really angering their constituents. I wonder, is it about politics . Is it about wanting to the keep the city shut . Do they just not is it about power . Do they not realize there will be nobody left in the city to pay taxes any longer and the entire city is crippled . What do you think motivates them honestly . Most of the people i speak to believe it is about control, it is about dictating what they think is best for this population. Again there is no Science Behind it. In fact we meet the metrics set by the governor. We have better metrics actually than some municipalities around the state that are open. This is about mayor de blasio and Governor Cuomo wanting to keep new york city shut down for their own personal reasons. Look, we know, we all want to be safe. We want to make sure were doing this wisely. That we are taking precautions. We know so much more about this virus than we did six months ago and we know how to take steps to be safe. I think this is about trusting your constituents, trusting new yorkers, that they want to do what is in their best interest of their restaurants, of themselves, of their patrons, of their employees but we cant continue to just shut down this entire industry because you can just go to the neighboring municipality. Whether that be new jersey or whether that be long island and dine indoors. Meanwhile new york city where we have such a vibrant Restaurant Industry is being shut down. This should concern people all around the country. New york city serves as an economic engine for the rest of the country. If our economy tanks it will be detrimental to the entire nation. Melissa we ourselves went to new jersey this weekend to dine inside, there were so many people out, in the malls there were literally thousands of people right next to each other. Those industries are thriving. Those people might be putting themselves in danger and the city is a ghost town. It is totally bizarre. Nicole, thank you so much. We appreciate your time. Good luck to you. Connell. Connell we have a story coming up on hightech sanitation. It is the latest trend that could help businesses get up to full capacity. Were testing it out today.

Melissa very cool technology, jeff. Thank you for that. Connell. Connell it is very cool. We transition from that to the stimulus talks over on capitol hill. We actually had some news out of the hill today with Senate Republicans revealing a roughly 300 billiondollar relief package. Bring our man in on capitol hill. Foxs chad pergram joins us now. We have the bill. Well see where it goes, chad. You have a feeling it is a dogandpony show that is going nowhere fast. Take us through it if you can. Democrats are calling this a show vote. This will be a procedural vote. It is problem hi not going anywhere anytime soon, simply because republicans in the senate struggled all summer long to coalesce any sort of bill they could get 51 senators who could vote yes. If they had the votes this summer they would have taken the vote. Here is white house chief of staff mark meadows. I know as late as 9 00 last night i was on the phone with a couple of senators as well as Senate Leadership to make sure that we put forth a bill coming out of the senate at least provides a foundation for getting an agreement. I can tell you that there is more than we agree upon than what we disagree upon. Pay close attention to exactly what Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell says. He says quote, i will move immediately today to set up a floor vote this week. He didnt say a final vote. This is a procedural vote which needs 60 aice. Mcconnell has not been able to get 51 republican senators to support a final bill. Mcconnell doesnt need a Senate Republicans. He can blame democrats. Democrats will likely oppose a slimmed down bill. Maybe they will bring back their goldilocks act, say our multihundred billion dollar proposal is too small, or too skinny, eastern though democrats passed a piecemeal bill for the postal service. Connell so that is mcconnell, chad. It is interesting to see how all these things work. Interesting is the right word. Mcconnell setting things up there. To blame democrats. What do the democrats for their part saying about all of this today . Thats right. Theyre saying it is too narrow. That there is not enough for schools, education, food aid. Here is democrat vermont senator patrick leahy. Senator mcconnell put a socalled skinny bill before the senate. Take it or leave it. No amendments, no debate. This proposal isnt skinny it is anemic. Why are they afraid to vote . Reporter there will be this procedural vote on thursday but democrats in the senate indicate they still think the best bill is the 3 trilliondollar bill that the house of representatives moved backs in may. Connell . Connell ask you one more thing, chad. Weve been talking about everything with kind of backdrop of november 3rd there, usually referring to the president ial election but many of these senators have tough reelection fights as well. How does that play into it on the republican side, how they set themselves up and ultimately how they vote. Reporter that is key. Part of this vote on thursday, this is really designed for republican senators who face competitive reelection bids this fall. Look at joni ernst in iowa, Susan Collins in maine. The Republican Leadership wants to give those republican senators something to vote for and also put pressure on moderate Democratic Senators like joe manchin West Virginia senator, to vote yes or doug jones, he is the most vulnerable democrat this fall for reelection. Put pressure, can you vote for this bill, get them on the record. That is what this is really about thursday. Connell doug jones seat is big one, that republicans are targeting thinking they can take it back to their side. Always good to see you, chad pergram on capitol hill. Melissa.

Connell stopping evictions to stop the spread in well, the centers for Disease Control is banning most evictions through the end of the year to further prevent the spread of covid19. And its leaving landlords on the hook. Gerri willis with more on that story today. Reporter hey, thats right, connell. So the cdc out with a highly controversial proposal, actually an order that, essentially, theyre going to put in place an eviction ban that will stop or slow the spread of covid19. Heres the language from the order, housing stability, they say, helps protect Public Health because homelessness increases the likely hood of individuals moving into congregant settings such as homeless shelters which puts individuals at higher risk to covid19. Now, to qualify for what is not rent forgiveness, but a delay this having to pay rent, single renters must earn 99,000 or less and couples 199,000 or less. Unlike the cares ban on evictions which applied to 25 of the whole, this applies to 3040 million americans, so a lot. But tim road, a former fannie mae executive, says the policy leaves a lot to be desured. It doesnt do anything to forgive rent, and it places a burden on the backs of landlords who dont have any relief.

The National Multifamily Housing Council says this an Eviction Moratorium will ultimately harm the people it aims to help, but making it impossible for small owners to meet their financial obligations and continue to provide shelter to their residents. And guess what . Renters, too, have objections, saying the moratorium which will be in place, as you said, for 120 days, will likely kick the can down the road because by the time the end of that period comes, renters wont be able to make the payments they have to. Finally, connell, i think that down the road you will see legal challenges to this because already people are saying the cdc has overstepped its legal mandate. Connell hmm. Really interesting angle to watch on all of this. Gerri, thank you. Gerri willis with the reporting there. As we wrap up our hour, again, the big story the market selloff, the dow down 632 points.
