guys you can still buy names that matter that pay you cash every quarter. [closing bell rings] ted oakley, of ox bow, thank you so much. a record for the nasdaq. how about that? 35th record of the year that will do it for "the claman countdown." melissa: making it official apbecoming the first american company to close with a two trillion dollar market cap. the stock is up almost 100% since the pandemic low in march. tech leading major averages higher. the nasdaq closing at the new record high, 35th of the year, 135th record close since the election of president donald trump. s&p 500 has been up more than, was up more than 14.93 points to mark a new closing high. we'll see when it settles there. i'm melissa francis. this is "after the bell." connell? connell: melissa, i'm connell

mcshane. didn't quite get there on the s&p. we're live from joe biden's hometown. scranton, pennsylvania. ahead of the presumptive nominee's speech tonight at the democratic national convention. i spent a lot of the day speaking to owners and business leaders in the area. you will hear a lot of that throughout the hour. first the top stories. fox team business could have with gerri willis keeping an eye on markets blake burman at the white house as usual gerri, we start with you. >> what a difference in the markets and what a difference the a day makes. they are shrugging off recovery concerns. the dow powering ahead. the dow on pace to snap a three-day losing streak. it did just that. s&p up three of the last four sessions. nasdaq was the star here. you remember back in march we

were under 7,000? closing at 11,264 to be exact. apple, guess what, they have the two trillion dollar crown. that is new market cap for apple. shares hitting all-time high. unbelievable at 2,012,000,000,000. apple is the first u.s. company to close above two trillion dollars. this is happening against a backdrop of jobless claims, coming back above one million. 1.1 million. not good news. investors didn't care. as i go i want to explain one thing to you here, a big story everybody is reporting at this moment, uber and lyft which threatened to shut down operations in california. it is not happening anymore. an appeals court judge putting in place an emergency stay order which pauses a ruling that required ride-hailing companies to classify their workers as guess what? employees. so with that off the table, it looks like uber, lyft, they will

be open for business over the weekend. back to you. connell: fair enough, thank you, gerri. you may have heard this by now. turns out the only ones not spending time around joe biden's hometown. president trump is campaigning in the area. and speaking at this hour, the current president taking aim, no surprise at the former vice president. more on that as we get live to blake burman. blake. reporter: look over your head for air force one we await a big speech by the democrat nominee joe biden. what did president trump do today? he got out of white house, got on board air force one and landed the plane in scranton, pennsylvania, the home town of joe biden. president campaigning in old forge, pennsylvania. he is drawing a distinction between his presidency and what you will hear tonight from joe biden. watch. >> if you want jobs, you want a

lot of police and you want a lack of crime, you know, if you take away new york, and chicago and some of these terrible cities -- you want law and order. you got to have law and order. you can't have what is happening in portland. did you see the kid -- reporter: different kind of legal matter that was a bit uncomfortable for the white house today as the president's former campaign head, the former chief strategist at one point over here at the white house steve bannon was charged by federal prosecutors in the southern district much new york for wire fraud and money laundering. this involves $25 million that bannon and three others raised privately to build part of the border wall. president trump tried to distance himself from bannon. saying he hasn't dealt with bannon in years. saying he was sad to learn about the charges. connell, back to you. connell: blake burman on the north lawn. melissa. melissa: for more on the

president's speech here is bill mcgurn from the "wall street journal." he is also a fox news contributor. so what do you think of this strategy? there is a place, old forge pizza, pick up a few slices up for me. what do you think about the president making a speech. he says joe biden was not really from scranton. he was only here for a small period of time. he left and been in washington robbing you blind ever since. i'm paraphrasing but -- >> i think it is good idea to go to scranton, it's a swing state. joe biden likes to associate himself with scranton, hard-working middle class, working class americans. i think a lot of those are swing voters. also on the economy, it is interesting, that in one of the very few areas where donald trump is leading joe biden, it is on credibility on the economy. so i think it is good to go there but i would like it to be not just attacking joe biden,

fair game, for all his spending and kind of crazy economic platform with all the crazy spending and stuff but just to talk to the forgotten americans. you know we're always saying we're in it together but a lot of men and women sitting at home because they can't get back to their jobs. you know, it is interesting to me watching the democrats talk with all of these small businessmen who are struggling during covid. well a lot of them are struggling because they're in democratic states that kept them closed down. i think that is a contrast the president needs to make, that i'm the guy who will get the economy up and running. i'm not the guy who wants to keep everything locked down. there are intelligent ways to get the economy moving again and open up businesses that would mean a lot for the people who are not working. we always hear we're all in this together. melissa, we're not in it together. i'm sitting here at home. i draw my paycheck. i count myself blessed to have a

job that can do that. you go on our main street in my town in new jersey, a lot of people really suffering from the small businesses being shut down or forced to operate at 25% capacity. melissa: no, you're so right and it would be such an obvious point to hit because while they're hitting him on you're getting hurt because this pandemic went out of control and he didn't have a plan, you know, you're right, i was talking to a business owner 30 minutes ago who said, you know, they can't fight their way through the regulation that is being put in front of them now. you can reopen but at 25% and you need this inspection. they're saying nobody is equipped to do that. hit hard on the message, i'm for smart business and safety but regulation by people who have never earned an honest dollar or done a payroll or been in business doesn't make any sense. that would be a very strong point. hopefully he will hit it next week. along those lines, let me ask you while you're here. new york city teachers are now

threatening to strike or bring legal action unless the school district, which is the largest in the u.s. implements very rigorous testing plan. they want every student and every teacher and every person on the campus tested before it reopens which all of the experts have said is impossible. that you can't test every single kid and everybody, you do it once, what is that worth? you would be exposed the next few days. what is interesting about the fight, you have bill de blasio sitting there fighting with the union and it is funny to watch him getting crushed from his left which is almost impossible to do. >> right. melissa: but, what do you make of this fight? when do you think is going to happen? >> well, melissa, i think you nailed it before. even bill de blasio is calling this for what it is. it is a threat. de blasio said we care more about kids and parents as these games. this is a game. covid has exposed the real priorities of the teachers

unions which are themselves and not you know, the children they're supposed to serve. look at the other demands some of these unions. not just in new york, making defund the police and so forth. they're designed to be impossible demands for the authorities to meet and keep them closed. note only do they want to be closed, they want to keep other schools, like catholic schools from reopening because they can't afford to be shown up, right? i think one of the most distressing things as an american is to watch, i applaud schools trying to reopen, trying to put into place -- not like they're ignoring guidelines. they're trying to work within the cdc guidelines and have a safe environment. we should be rooting for them to succeed right? i just feel there are a lot of people that don't want them to succeed because then it would highlight what they're doing. melissa: yeah. so one of the smartest things that i heard a bunch times over the past couple days whether

from restaurants or business owners, salon owners, people at schools, you have to give people a reason to come back to these cities. >> right. melissa: new york is one where people have gone away for the summer. they have been away since march. they were coming back for the opening of school but now for those private schools, some of them that aren't opening, those are rich people who will stay in the hamptons, stay in florida. they have enrolled in other schools. they have eventually let the schools here know yet. you have to give people a reason to come back. if you don't, the knock-on effect of that, we'll have restaurants out of business. these teachers who are on strike, they will not have a job because the schools, there won't be as many schools because not as many people here. >> right. >> how do you drive home that point, keeping things shut down, you're driving away the rich people and my heart really hurts and i'm concerned for the people left behind who can't afford to leave? there won't jobs? what happens? >> it is not just rich people. it is middle class people and so

forth. like a lot of people i'm working from home in new jersey. i realize i don't have to be in manhattan to do my job. even to appear on fox, right? melissa: right. >> then you might think, gee, why do i have to be in new jersey? maybe i could be in that or texas or some other low tax, no-tax state. that is going to have huge implications for revenue. i think one of the answers to what you're saying, you're so right, we're not considering these people that don't have alternatives, right? that is one of the reasons the republicans for example, the aid bill was trying to tie the aid to the parents so the parents could choose, you know some other alternative to the children rather than give it to the public school institution. give it to the parent who might say, i'm going to try to private school, this pa parochial school in class. i hear all stories people moving this way. they should be, if the purpose of education is to educate children and not support the teachers unions, there is no reason we shouldn't, we

shouldn't redesign the system to improve flexibility and opportunity. melissa: no. it is really true. a lot of catholic schools taken advantage of that. they decided to open. they have gotten more students that way. they have been aggressive opening. when teachers listen to the unions, don't go back to work, it is not safe, you will get paid if you don't go. what they are not telling them you will end up losing your job. what will you do? can you afford to move to a new community where schools ostensibly are open? bill mcgurn, you are so brilliant. connell, over to you. >> thanks, melissa. connell: look at tesla. we've been watching this company topping $2000 share now. first time we've seen it, $2000 a share for elon musk's company. the recent gains kicking off announcing a five for one split last week. not for long. up 120 bucks, $2,000 a share.

back to where we are, scranton, pennsylvania, joe biden's hometown. he is local guy some ways. earlier we were outside his childhood home. he left scranton for delaware when he was 11 years old. talking to voters, as the sign says scranton loves joe. we fund some of that. we also found it might be close to this area. president trump has plenty of support around here as well. who are you for. >> i'm things forebiden. things got to change. he is compassionate person. and has the experience, knows how to run the government. semiretired. concerned about my social security and my health insurance. connell: who are you going to support? >> trump. because i think he has done a good job. i think he's fought against every person who didn't like him. he is a businessman.

the united states has needed a businessman to run the country for years. connell: who are you for? >> for biden. connell: tell us why? >> why. because i think he is better guy trump -- as far as i'm concerned. >> i. [inaudible] connell: what are you looking at in. >> look at both candidates. i have 401(k). stock options how it will make a difference for me. connell: you done pretty well untrump? >> very well. connell: make it likely -- >> you know. joe biden is a local guy. connell: so you're for biden. tell us why? >> well i think we need change. i'm not a trump fan. although you know he is a good businessman but no, i don't think he is a good person. i think we need someone who is going to care about the american people and try to fix things, try to reunite us. connell: the pulse of the people i guess. more to come from here in lackawanna county. this county was huge democratic

area for years. barack obama eight years won by 27 points. hillary clinton only by three. president trump hopes to build on that strength running against joe biden. we'll continue the coverage talking to the general manager of lockheed martin's nearby plant about that. the jobs market amidst the opinion pandemic. that is coming up next. melissa. melissa: escalating tensions on the world stage. iran's latest high-tech threat. how the u.s. is responding to protect our national security. stick around for that. ♪. sure. okay... okay! safe drivers save 40%!!! guys! guys! check it out. safe drivers save 40%!!! safe drivers save 40%! safe drivers save 40%!!! that's safe drivers save 40%. it is, that's safe drivers save 40%. - he's right there. - it's him! he's here. he's right here. - hi! - hi. hey! - that's totally him. - it's him!

that is a big part of what joe biden has made his message, if you notice. build back better. connell: right. >> so many people in northeastern pennsylvania make their livings in the building trades. so that is going to be music to their ears. connell: it is interesting. we've been in wisconsin. now we're here. we'll be in a few other states next week. we have found, i didn't know they existed, exist more than i thought, urn decided voters out there in states like this, they will decide the election. a number of them voted for president trump last time. they will tell you up front, i'm not a huge fan now. i'm not sure what i will do. but those voters are not always sold on biden for one reason or another. one is economic. the complaint on that side, contrasting, i don't know. i kind of like my taxes where they are. biden and harris they will hike them up big time. what do you say to the voters? >> you know what? one constant in american politics, we have a lot to be proud off in this country, one is our identity. part of our identity in politics

is that we like change. we vote for change. you remember, that was obama's explicit theme for his campaign. that was what president trump offered. certainly hillary clinton would not be change candidate. connell: i don't know it al plies to taxes. i don't met many people that want higher tax. >> make my life better is what people are always looking for. i think, you know, yeah, there will be a certain segment that are disappointed it didn't happen under president trump but then there is going to be the crowd that won't leave him no matter what. connell: right. he has solid base of support you know about it. you represent the area. final point, biden wins, you obviously predict it in pennsylvania. how does he do it? how does he turn around pennsylvania, put it become blue final point. >> by trimming margins in places like this. you know, he is not going to completely reverse those numbers from 2016 around here but if he cuts them in half, that is pretty much all he needs to do.

>> melissa, you're like martin scorsese. this is good stuff. i didn't know you had a background in theater. melissa: yeah. >> i'm with you all three of those points. also i hope if the weather is like it is today, quite frankly, here in the northeast, 80, sunny, at night, it goes down to the 70s, almost all these events outdoors. the south lawn, you've been there before, where they have the easter egg roll. that is quite iconic scene not quite pumping in crowd noise with major league telecast on fox, why not put a crowd in there. make it socially distant to have the right message in terms of the reaction. the dnc, melissa, in terms of numbers we're seeing on the broadcast side, remember this is during a pandemic. you can't go to a ball game. i can't do go to an indoor restaurant. i'm stuck at home. the average audience is

19 million. that is pretty good across six networks. the president's state of the union address pre-pandemic in january had twice the audience. so relatively not doing well with the pre-packaged homogenized speeches. joe biden's speech will be live t will be big for him. i have feeling it will be more comfortable in a basement he has been in for five months as opposed to 20,000 people. melissa: people look at those lower ratings, they have to remember ratings for almost everything have been higher. people are trapped at home. they're watching more television. the fact they lost so many viewers is shocking. i wonder how it translates afterwards whether or not they get the traditional bump coming out? i like your list a lot. be more authentic. which is an easy thing to say. harder to do. i was criticized by juan williams when i said kamala harris was not authentic. he thought that was a gender thing, that i was doing there,

being discriminatory. i meant you have to be less fake. i don't think that has to do with your gender. it has to do with not being fake. what did you mean how can you be more authentic? >> i like juan. he is a columnist for "the hill." i write for as well. nice guy. i don't know how you get to gender in terms of your point being authentic. plenty of people have authenticity problem on the male side that was kamala harris' whole problem. people call her a 2020 presidential candidate melissa. you can't even call her that. she didn't get to 2020. she started running january much 2019. she dropped out december of 2019. one of the main reasons why was because people felt she was not authentic that. is not because of melissa francis opinion. that is what people thought of her. to get to your point around authenticity. a lot of speeches since they're pretaped, you lose the energy when you're not speaking to a

crowd. also these things have been very disorganized considering they had a lot of time to put these things together. michelle obama, melissa, spoke on monday night, didn't even mention kamala harris. the reason why she apparently taped that more than a week ago before kamala harris was chosen as joe biden's runningunning ietietetheet sad hadad pcastca e dn hdn o insert tttt in in then wthat ath a probl p he this t shicr thicr thifffla f peopl pee but b cutould cn'tldl e.e wnith w0eo repeatsepea of of peopl peeo io little "ad "y brunch"ch schquar. this h to t be produced a lit al tter. i hai ha a feelinglinglingng rle looking erythinrygthinemocrats e ing. in thths what w don't do. the first element i think outdoors, at night, the white house in the background, a crowd of some kind there. and that will bring infinitely more energy than what we've seen over the last three nights. melissa: more energy. no. i agree with you entirely. people keep making the point it

is so hard to make a speech and to have energy when no one is in the room. that is what all the us do on television every single day. there is no one in the room with me right now. that is funny. that is what television is. >> joe in the basement, me and my dog at my feet, believe me. melissa: okay. >> you have to know how to turn it on. the problem with the biden campaign enthusiasm. we're seeing one point difference in 15 battleground states over a pandemic, rioting, you're only up one point in battleground states. it goes back to that word enthusiasm. >> they're screaming at me. joe concha, you have a lot of energy. thank you very much. connell. connell: in the basement or wherever else. coverage from battleground pennsylvania. we're on the roof of a business. that is where we're broadcasting from. this is drive in movie theater. the circle drive-n one of the longest running drive in

call now and get your free infokit in i think the democrats are going to unite and some republicans, because they've had enough. and i think we just, i think we need change. connell: back in scranton, the desire for change, melissa, we've heard that in talking to voters in some of these key swing states over the last couple of days. it's interesting because that's what president trump capitalized on four years ago, this desire for change. and now joe biden is hoping to do the same thing. you know, what the democrats, i think, are banking on speaking to democrats about this is that biden will do better than hillary clinton because he's not hillary clinton. they think not only was donald trump popular in states like pennsylvania, but hillary clinton was so unpopular that you had the anti-hillary vote. they don't think there'll be as much of that there, that's why

they're fairly confident, we'll see if they're right, that they can take back some of the states they lost the last time around. that's the logic at least. melissa: i think part of how they got surprised last time that president trump, as they said at the time, is not a traditional republican. so he sort of picked off these groups that democrats had taken for granted. he took away, you know, people that work in manufacturing plants. this time he's taking away cops and firefighters which those unions have traditionally supported biden. we will see if it's enough as he goes around and he sort of builds this coalition. but on the idea of change, it is funny, because that's kind of what every incumbent is about. you have the say you want to change what is going on right now isn't working. i think the democrats have been really, really smart to say that, to emphasize it's about getting out the vote. i don't know how many people are undecided. forgive me for looking at my clock there. i don't know how many people are truly undecided. i think a lot of what it comes

down to is this idea are you inspired enough to really vote for the candidate that you're behind, or are you going to stay home for whatever reason on that night, and democrats definitely get that. thank you so much. connell, you've done a great job bringing us the road. we love -- ♪ ♪ lou: good evening, everybody. president trump today took the gloves off in his reelection battle against radical dem nominee joe biden. president trump speaking from just outside biden's birthplace of scranton, pennsylvania, today. there he highlighted a half century of failed radical dem policies and left-wing ideas put forth by the former vice president. over the course of 62 minutes, the populist president trump cast gated the man he calls sleepy joe biden for his globalist agenda that has long betrayed the working men and
