for the last week and having some defensive. liz: capital partners, that will do it for us, we do see the dow with the wind in the nasdaq has the worst week since march. melissa: it is the in, thank goodness of a volatile week on wall street, they are ending off the lows of the day, happy friday everybody, and melissa francis. hey connell. connell: i'm connell mcshane welcomed "after the bell" everybody, we have been reporting on throughout the week and big tech was back again today, that's what hit the nasdaq, the dow manages with a gang closing out the last trading day of the week and green, the s&p barely. we'll cover it all in the news

in addition to the markets with fox business team coverage and our reporter stated by blake burman on the white house northline and lauren simonetti and edward lawrence from washington, we begin with you, this is been a choppy session. >> her reaction was key and i think it's going to continue at least through the election as volatility, we had another session of pretty severe swings, over 300 points from high to low, not only on they're down but also on the nasdaq. and the rally that we had at the open it's baited the close once again because tech reverse gains once again so wayne on they're down, salesforce and apple and the other mega caps stock that has such outsize market caps, they were done today and this week, look at this apple down 7.5% on the week and netflix down 7%. their losses were pretty severe and as for the major averages overall selling offer week

number two, the nasdaq worst week since march right before the pandemic down 4%, the dow and s&p 500 finish today in the green but there around 2% for the week. it is surprising today that some of the names that have immensely benefited from lockdown and work from home, big time at the open but fizzled out the clothes, the capella town down four and a quarter percent. amazing numbers from the quarterly report, the competition is growing from traditional but to also cheap. kroger down 1%, they have to keep the momentum going, they are invested in digital and delivery and not waiting on their margin. many of these evaluations along with tech overall in the nosebleed section, everybody is coming back down to earth right now, we are in september and have an election. back to you. >> all that is true and interesting the way things closed out.

melissa: wall street heading back into the office, president trump praising the news that j.p. morgan chase is going to bring staff into the building later this month and edward lawrence is in washington with the details. >> life is coming back to new york city, something that bill de blasio would like to hear that banks are starting to bring back their employees into the building, were not talking about a lot of people but j.p. morgan chase says they will bring back senior managers in their sales and trading division, they will bring them back to the building and it affects workers only in new york and london, the president congratulating the bank saying working in an office will always be better than working from home, this could be exactly what his economic advisers are saying about life coming back in the economy. >> the great news here is that businesses are reopening and the economy is moving forward at a

rapid, probably than gunter better than folks thought. that is a great news and that will continue. >> new york has been closed for three months in the last three months have been some economic activity with a push from the bottom up to do more, brinks bringing workers back and part of goldman sachs telling employees it will allow workers to return to shifts, and shifts over the next coming weeks, they sent a survey to workers to see what they think about returning in october, deutsche bank making arrangements for part-time office work when the pandemic ends. these companies devalue and having that work back in the office as the economy opens up, this can be a glimmer for the future as they want to handle the demand when economic activity really starts to ramp up. back to you. melissa: thank you. connell: let's talk about it

with steve moore the freedom works economist, always good to see you. >> i take away it's not a ton of workers coming back but some of the wall street firms led by j.p. morgan will be back in person, how important it. >> i agree what you heard from larry kudlow, this is been an amazing recovery on the last four months, i don't think anybody would've expected certainly official forecasters in the economist thought the economy would be a much worse place than it is now. it is also true that it gets tougher, the first 10 million jobs back have been pretty quickly but 10 million more to get back and that will be a bit more of a slog i believe but the direction is positive and i think that's going to be good for trump from november. >> a couple of things to take apart, one i will pick up on is a knockdown or knockoff effect of workers coming back in the white-collar jobs, wall street

others, they are going to be made that certainly some of these companies can be more efficient and from technology working from home and they save on cost and the like, then you think about the real economy and there's a bagel store that's going to get a lot more business of people working or the coffee shop guy or whatever the case may be people going out to lunch in the economic impact of these people going out in person, how important is that. >> the economy is going to be prudently changed from what's happened in the last six months, i don't think there's any question about it. many of us have learned how to work pretty efficiently in our home offices, that means obviously that the commercial, especially the office space rental market is going to be horrible for the next at least couple of years because i think you may see people saying we don't need to have office space, we can have people working

efficiently from home, how long will it take for the airline industry to get back, i was at the airport yesterday and boston and washington, d.c. and it was like a ghost town, nobody was around, how long will that take, 18 months for people to get back fly near the norm, there are a lot of industries that are going to have to take substantial reduction in employment as a new economy emerges but then you have technology companies, why do you think nasdaq has seen all-time highs, i know it's been a downturn the last couple of weeks but these numbers are fantastic, what you're seeing is a readjustment of the economy towards the gig economy. connell: i cannot get out of my head that were having this conversation on september 11 and maybe that cloud to a little bit or has that taught, the stories

at the time will new york ever bounce back, i remember being on wall street the date everybody went back to work, all those times of things. i understand it's different on you talking about the economy being transformed and shaped by the last six months and people were saying things would change then and obviously they did but economically we did bounce back. heidi compared the two from an economic perspective. >> the other thing related to what you're talking about is a geographical shift going on, you may have seen the news that a thousand people every day are moving into florida right now, 500 people every day are moving into texas, where are they moving out of, there moving out of chicago, there moving out of minneapolis, new york city, cities have done severe damage by refusing to keep their streets save safe from criminals and riders, the other problem people are much for hesitant to want to live in very population dense areas, people are worried

about what is the next pandemic, will there be a second wave, the way we live our lives and where we live could be change for the next five. >> ten years if not longer. connell: that could be the difference between now and then, we will talk more about that in a few minutes. always good to see you. back over to you. melissa: jamie dimon change and i've no doubt about that, historic breakthrough, president trump announcing a peace deal between israel and by rain today, let's go to blake burman live at the white house with the details on the story. >> perhaps we are seeing a domino effect occurred in the middle east as president trump announced another peace deal in that region today, this time between israel and bahrain, they will have full diplomatic relations, trade relations, et cetera, the announcement comes after last month's peace deal between israel and the united arab, president trump calling

this a historic day and feels that this could potentially be the beginning of a big shift in the middle east. >> i see things positively happening with iran, that can all work out very well and i think so many great things are going to happen and then we can also discuss the palestinians, i think the palestinians will end up doing something that is very smart for them and all their friends are coming into this and they want to come into this. >> israel bahrain israel in the uae last month, the leaders of israel at washington, d.c. specifically at the white house next tuesday to sign that piece of court. melissa: any other time this would be huge news, unbelievable news, connell. connell: under pressure, we have a new warning from mayor de

blasio and it comes from new york city business leaders, they have thoughts on how to get the city back on track, we will talk about that plus the future value of an nfl team, were breaking on the coronavirus football money, that is coming up and no demand of the pandemic for a lot of businesses, from a drycleaner business in the state of illinois that is fighting to stay afloat, stick around ♪ ♪ why don't you call td ameritrade for a strategy gut check? what's that? you run it by an expert, you talk about the risk and potential profit and loss. could've used that before i hired my interior decorator. voila! maybe a couple throw pillows would help. get a strategy gut check from our trade desk. ♪

melissa: urging new york city mayor bill de blasio to fix the big apple, like it's his job or something, leaders from 150 big businesses are calling for more decisive action to hold the city decline in a letter to the mayor they wrote we urge you to take immediate action to restore essential services as a necessary precursor for solving the long-term complex economic challenges. here now is steve forbes, forms media chairman, little bit color on that, this assigned by business leaders across the board, not republicans, this was from the wnba, they began, the nasdaq, macy's, huge long list

and they said we cannot come back into the city, we cannot bring our employees back, we cannot go into our real estate, your city is collapsing because of the homeless problem in the public transit system is filthy, the city is dangerous and you need to do something or else we cannot bring our workers back, what are you thinking, his response was let's be clear, to restore city services, we need long-term borrowing in a federal stimulus, we need these leaders to join the fight to move the city forward, even though this mayor is spending more money than any mayor in the history of the city and the city is in horrible shape, it is just more money that is standing in between him and fixing things. what or your thoughts. >> as you point out the city spends tens of billions of dollars a year, it's not a lack of money it's a lack of leadership with the mayor and others who put the handcuffs on the police and allow this spike in crime, it's a man who refuses

to do anything about the shelters for the homeless, the mayor who is guiding the schools, teaching the garbage and it is the mayor who refuses to let restaurants do indoors, they're finally going to do at the end of the month, only 25%, that should've been done two or three months ago, you have an industry that employs 300,000 people before coping and the mayor dragged his feet on trying to let it come back to life a little bit, you see an entertainment industry which employs 400,000 people before covid, they're not going to be allowed to come back to life until maybe sometime early next year, it's bad leadership, malicious leadership, i don't understand what he has against restaurants but there is an animus there and he's twiddling his thumb saying give me more money while they waste the money that they have, earn the money first, so you can use it effectively. melissa: in fact he spends

double the amount on homelessness that his predecessor did and in that amount of time we've seen homelessness triple, i don't understand that math, first of all he wants to blame the economy and we had a booming economy as from homelessness expanding and storefronts were emptying, even though all around the world the economy was expanding and he says he wants a gift for long-term financing, the truth of the matter there is window opening and he could borrow that money today but he does not want to have to pay back, what do you think about that. >> who would not want free money, he just feels that money from a printing press, and it creates resources and government does not create resources, people do it and he's absolutely oblivious to what makes the world work. he does is smoking on the side, three hour lunches, worked out in the gym and he does not

fiddle why the new york city burns effectively, same thing he stands idle in the city goes down and the good thing about the 150 businesses saying this, it sets the stage for his successor, whether andrew cuomo has encouraged to remove him and get somebody else in there or wait till next year's elections, this sets the stage for civic revival, we have seen this in the past when newark fell apart, 1970s and 80s in private and public partnerships came together, reef revived park union square, bryant park, all those were initiatives coming from the private sector with cooperation from the public sector help revive a devastated city back then and were seeing the signs again, by the way the restaurants you see on the sidewalks of new york that came from architect that went to the city knew what strings to pull to get not only permission but

the way in which you could feed more people, tens of thousand people are eating in new york that would not happen if the architect had not come forward with a way to do it. i think the people of new york will be reviving the city, i know i'm on a family channel, nonleaders like bill. melissa: he is such a jack ass, it makes me so mad at my blood pressure cannot take it. while you're here i want to ask you about lululemon, it's under fire for promoting online workshop, resisting capitalism while selling yoga pants for more than $100, the company telling foxbusiness.com that the event is organized by one of its ambassadors, it is not their fault, it's not a lululemon form and it does not represent the company's views, lululemon removed the post following the criticism but how hilarious is it, that they're having a class on anticapitalism while they're charging you 100 bucks plus for

a pair of pants and their great capitalist story themselves. >> people asked online if you're capitalism why are you against nonprofit, why are you using sweatshops to make the material and things like that. lululemon, sadly seen silicon valley and elsewhere, people who should know better who have done well with the system that we have cannot connect the dots of what makes their prosperity possible, the in-depth endorsing policies that are undermining it look at europe and what socialism has done there, growth rate is a fraction of the u.s. not to mention what you see in cuba and north korea and iran and elsewhere, i just wish these people could learn to connect dots, maybe we give them playbooks for kids and they could connect ideas, what makes possible your well-being and well-being of others. it is freedom hello.

waver, together they charged the cockpit, they confronted the. evil and in their last act on this earth, they saved our capital. >> today's ceremony was closed to the public due to the pandemic but one thing remains the same, the ringing of the bell of remembrance hung in the air as one by one the 40 names of each hero on flight 93 were honored and today the democratic nominee joe biden pressed pause on politics to make today about the memory and honoring those who lost their lives and in the picture it really says it all the former vice president in the current vice president mike pence sharing a moment before the anniversary ceremony at ground zero, biden followed the president's visit to shanksville, pennsylvania to pay his own respects and be with the families of those who lost loved ones. >> when you're in a situation

weekend of the nfl season, we are following the money, teams preparing to go head-to-head as a franchise because of the future value amid the coronavirus pandemic, here with us peter schwartz from a new organization, the sports evaluation and legal reporter. i do want to talk, thank you for coming on for the potential impact of the condemning, your your own system of valuing these franchises which is interesting, let me start with that in terms of how you come up with evaluations, you'll see the top five teams that you value and the cowboys are number one and a lot of the list value the cowboys and the patriots, rio's, the jets and the giants, let me pick up the cowboys, the jets and giants new york market, i want to talk about the rams in the patriots post tom brady but the rams, they were in st. louis, that shows you what a move can do and how highly valuable they are.

>> thank you for having me, i really appreciate it and you're exactly right, the new stadium, the market and what the rams ownership led by stan has done with the real estate, not only is it the state of the art stadium that is opening this week where the revenues are expected to skyrocket but at the same time is 298-acre mixed-use commercial development that leverages the team to get into all sorts of related businesses that are really going to drive the team value up. but last season the rams were 26 and revenue, this season or especially next season hopefully if things are back to even, they will be in the top two or three for sure. connell: what about the patriots, brady leaves to go to tampa, all those years of winning with new england, number two is that a spot that could be in jeopardy in the next few

years, how about the outlook? >> there jeopardy of losing the number two rank is because of the rams descent, it would not be because of diminishing value, you mentioned that we do the valuation a little bit differently, the key thing that we do is different from anything else out there and looking team related businesses and team related real estate. the patriots are great example of that, they own nearly 1000 acres around gillette stadium called patriot place, retail development that harnesses the team and their one of only four teams, the rams being another in the success that they have had with tom brady has positioned them to continue on that project tree, the real question what happens with the tampa bay bucs now that they have tom brady, their rated seven, 2.3 billion, how much could they grow? >> yes, how long can they keep

them healthy. he's 43 years old now, there's a big difference between the rich and the poor in the nfl that does not get publicized as much and were talking about how much parity but the cowboys are 6.4 billion in bengals just over 2 billion. now that we got to the pandemic, what would you say as we look at the lower value teams about who is in the most jeopardy, who might get hurt the most by a different year in terms of how much money people are bringing in. >> it is a great question, the answer might not be as obvious as you might think, the lower teams rely on national revenues for upwards of 70 - 75% of the revenue, that is the money generated from the leagues television deal, and six teams have more than 70% of the revenue that way, more of the

mid tier teams where they rely on the national revenue for about 60% of the revenue, it will feel the effect a little bit more. connell: that is interesting what's an example of a team like that that you would say that they really feel it. >> i would say the cleveland rams, i think they are right at the top, but there example of a team that is close to the league average is 60% of revenue being generated nationally in the right around there, as for the bengals, you mentioned the 32nd left in the ranking in their 73%, i think it's the teams that rely more on the local revenue and obviously the top of the list they rely most on their local revenue but a little bit better positioned by virtue of having such sensible businesses and so many different ways to generate cash for it. >> right, a little bit of a

cushion in the real estate as you talked about, really interesting, check it out as portico, peter. melissa: joining forces to find a cure, the marks the 30th union new york city race for the cure, thousands of people gather in central park with one shared goal to fight breast cancer, this year's race and they will look a little different, gerri willis is spearheading the campaign after fighting her own battle with the disease and she joins us now. >> thank you very much, one in eight women will face a diagnosis of breast cancer sometime in their lifetime and four years ago it was my turn, my doctor told me april 28, 2016 that i had stage three lobular breast cancer, it took me months to accept the diagnosis, i went

to make it safe, what was the technology. >> we were lucky to have negative pressure and cell system, we upgraded our exhaust fans and it's much higher so we have fresh air exhausted out and pressure coming in, we have uv lighting and we have the electric static disinfecting, you name it, we do it, we do temperature check, handwashing, hand sanitizer and we all have covid test every 14 days and so on. melissa: we can see you put up clear plexiglass to separate people from each other, and looks like a tremendous investment, how hard was it to invest all of that money while you are closed, i know you only open, yet to go into your pocket with more money where you just barely open.

>> we just had to make it a stretch and make sure all of our clients and everything was separated we had to go according to the guidelines and above so we had the plexiglass in between in the shampoo station, we had total plexiglass without any openings, they are not breathing down on a reception. melissa: you have a just salon, you do a lot of high-end work and you depend on people being in the city and people have not been in the city until this week i noticed a big uptick, how hard has not been to have the client base not here or center only allowed to operate at a small capacity, did it not affect you? >> basically with our clients we

basically kept contact with all of her clients for the last three or four months, our communication, we did a lot of zoom meetings with salon summit and updated us with the guidelines and other salons across the country so we were updated and we basically told all our clients what we were going to do to manage our waitlist, to manage their booking, we don't do online booking, we are supposed to be at 50% of occupancy but we kept below that like 40% because we want to make sure everyone is safe and feels comfortable, we extended seven days a week and extended her hours and all of our employees were totally fine, they wanted to get back to work and we love socializing and creating in our ability. melissa: have you made the money
