do good work on things like cancer, alzheimer's and other things. their growth rates are pretty strong, too. finally, convertible bonds. you have a foot in both camps. they have done better than credit -- liz: michael, thank you for joining us. that will do it for "the claman countdown." connell: we are in record territory on wall street and the nasdaq has ended on a record high. second day in a row that that has happened. the nasdaq composite index hit the 10,000 mark earlier in the trading session but it fell closed almost 50 points close to that level. still a record. good to be with you. i'm connell mcshane. melissa: this is "after the bell." a bit of a pullback on the dow. the s&p 500 also down slightly, still about 5% away from its record high. fox business team coverage, blake burman is in washington

and lauren simonetti is watching the markets. let's start with blake with the latest from the white house. reporter: hi, there. there is a debate taking place in washington up on capitol hill about the future of the $600 federal uninsurance benefit that came about during the cares act. we will give you a live look right now at the senate finance committee, the labor secretary eugene scalia testifying there. republicans and the white house argued that benefit has become a hindrance for businesses since some people are actually making more money on unemployment. democrats, though, are making the argument to republicans saying how can you say more people are coming back into the work force, yet this is also a hindrance? they are saying that doesn't really work hand in hand. they are also saying that this $600 plus-up should continue until the end of the year. watch. >> when secretary scalia failed to offer a plan to give benefits out in a timely way, democrats proposed a flat sum solution.

$600 per week. >> the $600 benefit was an extraordinary measure to help americans who were shut out of the workplace in a closing economy. as the economy reopens, i appreciate that members of this committee do not want the cares benefit to be a deterrent. reporter: at their weekly policy lunch today, senate republicans discussed potential police reform legislation. tim scott will lead the effort for republicans, the republican senator. he tweeted after that meeting quote, i just finished up a productive lunch discussion on police reform and retraining package proposal. my colleagues and i will be releasing more details on the draft in the near future. i am hopeful this legislation will bring much-needed solutions to quite literally click open an e-mail, give me a second here, because fox has now told that president trump will soon have a list of potential reforms regarding policing that could be implemented. we are told that is coming soon.

that is the reporting of my colleague john roberts literally as of seconds ago. this is of course the issue that has been talked about here in washington over the last especially couple days now with democrats putting forth their proposal yesterday and republicans today were talking about what to do next. now we know tim scott is going to be part of that effort for republicans and that president trump could potentially unveil what he wants to see going forward soon. back to you. melissa: look forward to that. thank you. let's go to lauren for more on the markets. lauren? lauren: it was a mixed market at the close. investors loaded back up on tech shares. you saw the nasdaq for the first time ever breach the 10,000 level. didn't hold the milestone at the close but nonetheless, look at that. up 29 points. record high for the nasdaq. the dow down 1% or 300 points, snapping a six-day winning streak. take a look here. dow components home depot, amazon and apple all surging to

record highs today. and other popular tech names like microsoft came very very close. just a couple cents away from an all-time high. facebook also came close. 3% gain for facebook. macy's shares, they rallied out of the gate after their preliminary earnings showed stronger than expected sales at hundreds of their reopened stores but then macy's said sales wouldn't return to 2019 levels until late next year. look at the volatility in the stock today. it closed down. tiffany say sales fell 45% in the quarter but surged in may, particularly in china, one of their biggest markets, where they were up 90%. tiffany up 2% today. signet jewelers, however, down 16%. they are permanently closing 380 stores. boeing was the biggest loser on the dow jones industrial average. it lost about 6%. it booked nine new orders last month but here's the rub. 18 cancellations. so double the number of

cancellations. i want to end on a positive and it's this. look at this one-month chart of boeing. it's up 54%. this month alone. back to you. melissa: we'll take it. lauren, thank you. connell? connell: let's talk about the road to recovery now as small business owners are becoming more optimistic and are expecting any recession to be short-lived according to a new survey from the national federation of independent business. liz peek joins us to talk about that, the foxnews.com columnist and fox contributor. good to see you. this whole, from an economic perspective at least, everything we have been through the last few months seems to be centered around small business. as they get more optimistic, are you getting more optimistic that we have officially turned the corner here? >> well, what we have seen is a steady stream of reports that come in better than expected. this nfib report definitely exceeded expectations. small business owners are looking mainly i think at the pace of opening up the states

and that has been probably the single biggest surprise to economists, not just that consumers are sitting there with some money ready to spend and they are beginning to spend it, but that governors around the country are exceedinacceding to wishes of their constituents and opening the flood gates. i think this is very there are really entrenched activity so this is a very good meeting. it. >> and his governors do that, opening up the floodgates as you call it, we have seen some activities that work maybe a phase three activity. in some states go to phase two. these are happening maybe a little faster than we thought a month ago or so . does that bring risk within . some of the states that have opened early, we have seen and don't think this is a surprise, but we have seen a number of covid-19 cases start to go up in places like texas and georgia, florida and south carolina. is this something to be worried about. or just keep an eye on it for

now. >> we have actually seen an increase over the past two days for example in texas. a real surge of cases and hospitalizations. i think hospitalizations main boat lots more. there's a lot of noise in this data because we don't know what the result of increased testing is. and you have more testing, you have more cases being reported . the has been an increase of hospitalizations. i think investors are watching that very closely even as the coronavirus headlines had receded connell and with the way the latest cnn poll, when registered voters are asked to rank what concerns the most and but will direct the voting in november, interestingly coronavirus is now way behind the economy and race relations and other issues that a month or two ago were really not that significant. so i think the attitude has changed. and what are we going to make of a surge of cases even in texas.

they have big demonstrations, just a few days ago and is this upturn in cases being reported because of that or because of businesses being allowed to function again. we really don't know. i think consumers, think voters are more comfortable with the fact that fatality rates seem to be going down pretty treatments seem to be improved. let's face it, everybody has been watching tv and sing people out there by the thousands congregating and a lot of people are sing women, if you can do that, what can i not go to a baseball game. connell: there has been a conversation and i also think i understand that we will pull back a little bit on the dow. the nasdaq had another record high today. investors are looking at this. and even the things that you've mentioned in the seem to be a better now that even if we do see a spike in cases, that we won't see a second, even if we see a second wave of the virus which may be a serious medical story. that we won't see a second

shutdown of the economy. do you agree with that . that the likelihood of that is quite unlikely now by the investment community. liz: i do. yes, i think the people are basically saying that since not going to happen even if there are more cases. and again most mortality rates really change, i don't see that we going to see a new shutting down of the economy and partially because we are not isolated. yet to look at what is going around the world. china, one of the reasons are market is so positive right now, there seems to be a global accelerations and economic activity including in china this whole thing began. i think a lot of people are saying wait a minute, if other countries can get a grip on this, as other countries are moving forward with their expansion without enormous risk, is the same thing likely to be true here. i think there is more confidence again in our medical community's ability to deal with this and be a think that there is too much momentum. of the distinct is backwards now.

connell: thank you good to talk to you. >> the final journey home. george floyd memorialized today in houston texas will instead want to grow up. on the ground with more on the very touching service for a man now we know start date movement. reporter: absolutely melissa a man known as big floyd but he was also a son, brother and father and grandfather. and today he is been eulogized by local and national dignitaries including the democratic presidential candidate. the mayor of houston asked those in attendance today a question. he said that he grew up in the third ward housing project. who would've thought that his name would be spoken around the world. >> he begged and pleaded many times.

but you just pushed harder. why would the system be corrupt. african-americans, the system has failed. these laws need to be changed. no more hate crimes. someone said make america great again . but when has america never been great. melissa: that was his knees in the fountain of christ church filled with 500 people due to the coronavirus limits. the man who lost his life under the name of the now former minneapolis police officer today remember is not only a basketball player in high school football player but a human being. as 6 feet 6 inches tall and 200 points, they described him using his formidable size to break up fights . but in the end, was failed without one. today his niece called at the moment he was killed.

>> memories lost. this is for you. the date has come before you to fully grieve. unlike most, miss grieve in public. burn. the burden that is not your purpose to change the world for the better. in the name of george floyd. connell: thimelissa: this was td service that his family is shared with the world. the funeral procession after the services care at the fountain of youth church. they take a profession of 12 miles to the houston memorial gardens. and that's final mile, the procession. and they will transfer george floyd cast into a horse drawn the final trip to his burial site work will be late to rest next to his mother. that will be a service only for family and friends . no cameras and only for them. connellmelissa: thank you.

connell: as our coverage continues this hour, healing and justice in the minds of millions of people and as local leaders work to unite their communities and resort businesses across the united states, some officials fear it is not enough for these businesses to come back. to start coming up.

melissa: of new jersey lifting and staying home orders, the states governor phil murphy say he will raise the limit on outdoor and indoor gatherings. while many people are wondering if new york to just rip off the band-aid and fully reopen, instead of doing this two-week incremental openings that we been doing lately. mike huckabee former governor of arkansas, a fox news contributor as well . being in the great state of florida, as you are, florida took a completely different approach. and when people return from florida right now come they think this is like normal life down there . nobody is wearing a mask, the going to restaurants print going about life. looking at the stats from today. it seems like that number of patients who are hospitalized as it doubled.

this is in the past month or so since that reopening their pretty those new cases with the hospitalizations is more relevant step. also i noticed on the website, your at about 26 percent of capacity open for hospital beds. anything florida is doing so far. >> i think they have handled it differently and also i think they have handled it better. nothing is perfect because this is uncharted territory for everybody. the governor did the smart thing, he said he didn't say plus throw a blanket over the whole state and everybody do the same thing. he highly populated urban areas, and i would be very different than parts of florida like the panhandle where william. and is more sparsely populated. similar wanted decisions and of the local level to decisions made where people were being affected by those decisions. it was a smart thing. and the other side of that, a lot of people have piled into florida. they come from new york, new

jersey, and there has been a total lockdown. and some of them have brought coronavirus with them. and i think that is in part, but we are sing with the increased numbers. melissa: interesting. do you feel like in the end, florida will be able to say that they did it better. i know it is tough to predict the future but you are saying at first it the numbers were not increasing all the now lately they are going up even though you have a lot of beds open.. guest: i think there a lot of things happening, this is the tourist season. the population of the state is virtually doubling read people are coming because it is summer break. that is part of it live apart as we have a lot more testing that we did. so people who have may have had the virus and did not know it, now they get a symptom, they find out, they know it and it gets reported. i am not saying that is all there is because i don't know where it goes.

i am not a prophet or a set of a profit. i won't try to predict the future. i do think in the long term, florida look better than new york new jersey michigan, and where the mayor's just totally shut everything down. it is been bad enough here. i would hate to think how it would have been had it has been as tough as it was in some of the other states . speech of the flipside of that is a lot of people are wondering today if you look on social media as we see these in norma's process going on and you see this swellf humanity whether it's in la, or in new york or minneapolis. all kinds of people really close together. and if we do not end up saying the viruses spike in those areas, will we be asking ourselves, did we ship the thing down, was it worth it. should we have really done that. if you see florida as we said, opening. there increasing everywhere

except for the places where it has moved on pretty different nosiness mike, amongst the protesters, and we evaluate that. guest: i think there will be a lot of academic studies posted virus and try to figure out, it was this the right thing to do. cbs strict. some will say yes and others will say, we did more damage to people and their mental health and we did to the physical health read and just a thought, is that with all of the things that have been done, with think that we have learned is that there was a cure or vaccine. you seem to have found one. apprenticing in writing and losing. that's insecure the virus because the same officials is just down churches said it was okay to hit the streets without masks. i'm a shoulder to shoulder with tens of thousands of total strangers. so i guess we could say, praise the lord we found a cure. melissa: i always think that is the thing that unites the people who flush and foxbusiness.

not necessarily right or left pretty solid together, we really hate hypocrites we really get outraged by people are sanctimonious on one hand but then go ahead and violate that. when i look at all of these pictures, i remember when we allowed to go outside because you may be willing to risk your life monument synagogue, you're risking the lives of the first responders will who will save you. who gets to decide when it cause was more than enough. the design people to a domain that some of these things are worth risking your life. some say it's worth it. lucas to define that. guest: apparently some of the government official say yes . but if you want to see how serious they are, in this role . in your public official and you

should down other people's job and income some of the new don't get to take up government to paycheck is a government official until the jobs of start up and they get their paycheck again. when you do that, i promise you blessed that there will be some very different decisions being made by government official because of one group of people that god made every week, without exception was a government people who made the decisions to set everybody else down. melissa: yes . justin by saying that in new york, you purchased we can't get a haircut right now. so there you go. thank you mike. connell: we're going to shift gears. new questions are being brought about that trump administration maximum pressure campaign. nuclear watchdog issuing a dire warning over iran and his nuclear weapon capability. at that coming up for youth next . i'm later, who is reopening in a number of locations and a of states across the country. we will be back.

seen, murders of 160 percent over last year . others 56 percent and chart car jacking says will have doubled. this what i don't live far from their . i'm going to a gas station. they're hard to find . the guy cities closing club because he keeps getting robbed . then there will be at a gas nearby. what happens when you don't have things like this to the businesses and services. guest: one of the things that happens that that chicago mayor is clearly very concerned about is people vote with their feet. they move out . and even companies begin moving out if cities cannot be brought under a condition of civil order. it we have that's back in the 70s and the 80s. then in places like new york city, they put in place placing under new york city was with greg kelly and william, called broken windows rated in the idea

was enforced heavy crimes because if you did not, the neighborhood, the city would deteriorate into a larger crimes. a lot of what the left is doing, is pushing back is the idea of broken windows. i don't like enforcing petty crimes such as the fellow who was arrested in the past couple of days or spraying graffiti on the front of st. patrick's cathedral. he was let's go by the city prosecutor's office. this is an idea called decriminalization. and it's catching on among prosecutors in places like new york, queens new york, philadelphia, boston and san francisco. the question is if you decriminalize activity of this work, you're just describing, are you running the risk that eventually these cities, their crime rates, and carjacking and stuff and arson will rise over time and then you start losing population. melissa: it seems like we were

of things going as well. connell: i want to talk about that. how do your numbers work. now that you have done in georgia a little bit pretty golf 30 percent capacity, you social distance people coming and spread them out. fewer people on staff. we've been able to work the numbers and how would you profitability in that environment compared to normal environment. guest: you're not going to make as much money real soon but at least you get the ball rolling. you get people who want to get back to work functioning. you start services and your loyal guests who loved and the of what you are doing, so you can control your labor. you have to ask more out of everyone. you run a tight ship. to me, i break everything down. i simple affiant and build a box. restaurant is a box pretty one way in and one way out pretty so we look at every aspect of this and we control it and we ask the guest if you're willing to spread out your your

reservation, based on hours, and the way you come at the time you come from every 15 minute intervals. so is normally 7:00 o'clock maybe will come at 730 per you normally come in at five, and you've got a, 530. so they all understand it. and they get out eagerly. and they go through the ritual and they feel like things are getting back to normal. and everything is happening. it's okay. connell: we've all learned to be flexible. in this environment. if you cannot say 730 instead of seven, he got something wrong with you if you haven't been out to eat and months for me is the one thing about the workers. you you switching around hours and different things . different answers come from different restaurant owners. how has it been getting people back to work. some restaurant owners say that because of all of the unappointed benefits, he will make 600 bucks extra week. it's a little because they can make more sitting home. have you written to that.

guest: that is a question they are all going to ask her to bed if you look at it and you bring back a lot of people, and you keep them part-time, they will still get those benefits and you wants use of as much ppe money right away. see you don't do how this will be. if you going to be busy or slow, you want to spread your pp e-money out. and you want your staff to instill benefit and be able to pay the bills and take care of their families and make ends meet. so going part-time, spreading it out and explain it to them, showing the number and understanding that we are in it together and thus do what we do and we do it best like no one else does. connell: see figure to the system and figured out how it works best for people . good luck willie. and especially to get back up
