they're down, the s&p and nasdaq lower as well, all three earlier in the session hit all-time highs and they pulled back from that, we had volatility heading into the close with the contracts expiring to the point trading volume into the close, take a look at tesla today whose heavy volume on that stock throughout the day in particular into the close does it end up higher, it was up and down and all over the place and tesla is entering the s&p 500 officially as a monday, a lot of decisions had to been made which we will talk more about, the week the dow, s&p and nasdaq and up in the green, it is an up week and the dow up by 14 140-point an sp and nasdaq up by more than that in terms of percentage. it is great to be with you especially on a friday i am connell mcshane, welcomed "after the bell", time for the news happening at this hour, reporters with fox team coverage, blake burman at the

white house, gerri willis in new york and edward lawrence and the latest vaccine news in washington, d.c. >> them under no vaccine in the final step right now waiting the stamp of approval from the fda for the emergency use off the racing, the fda has been talking about this emergency use authorization for most of the day and it could come any time, the approval will have a similar process to the pfizer vaccine but this time mckesson will be in charge of logistics, the use fedex and ups for delivery and by this time 5.9 million doses for my moderna adding to the vaccine that is already out there, the educational push begins. his. >> we will continue to make sure that the healthcare providers have all the support resources they need to meet the moment. but vigilance and the vaccine is our way through and building confidence in the vaccine is what brings us here this morni

morning. >> mike pence got the first dose of the pfizer vaccine today, so did his wife in the u.s. surgeon general, pinned saying this is the beginning of the end for the vaccine and doctor anthony fauci at the same event saying the speed of the vaccine got out did not affect the safety of the vaccine. >> we saw the development in record time of the vaccine that is shown to be safe and effective, we want virtually everyone eligible to get this vaccine ultimately. >> we have seen lawmakers taking pfizer vaccine on capitol hill, first house speaker nancy pelosi and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and the goal for the administration is to get the herd immunity 70% of americans vaccinated but does not happen the surgeon general warns the pandemic may not be over in 2021. back to you. >> thank you edward that might be the key the vaccine in getting to the point to the best

economic stimulus we can imagine. in the short run we had to rely on congress to pass something and hopefully hold us over and true to form that is easier said than done, blake burman live with an update on the talks. >> think about where we are on this moment, one hour away until close of business of the final full work week of the year end still congress has not hammered out a covid-19 relief package and congress has not finalized a government spending bill, they continue to talk and they continue to negotiate and they continue to say that there optimistic on the covid relief front that this will get done soon. >> talks remain productive and i'm even more optimistic now that i was last night at a bipartisan framework for major rescue package and is very close at hand.

>> optimistic has been the word of the week, mitch mcconnell this morning, house speaker nancy pelosi postponed her press conference at two this afternoon and were showing you study for your, he took to the house floor and suggested a deal might be days and not hours away, he told members keep tonight free, tomorrow free, sunday free. one of the main sticking points on the covid relief is the battle with credit lending facilities, pat toomey is leading the argument that it was supposed to expire anyways and democrats feel that would handcuff the incoming biden administration and we heard from the incoming biden team today saying this should not expire. bottom line on this december 18 last friday of the full work week of the year, they still do not have a deal and they're still trained to put it all

together and it could go into next week. connell: we've been here before, people are counting on it, steve forbes joined us, more than ever we had at the bottom of the screen, investors are waiting the $900 billion stimulus bill, i would add to it we can argue back and forth of the merits and what stimulus is needed or any theoretically but regular people especially business owners and we talk to restaurant owners on the show multiple times a week, they keep telling us get something done, whatever it is. >> that is right i think the pressure from that is why you're not getting an agreement perversely because democrats and others are china put in extraneous matters into the bill that's why you're finding democrat pushback on the credit facilities expire at the end of the month, they see those things at the federal reserve away to be bailing out illinois and california on the rotten pension

plans and their bad economic and financial management, if they stuck to helping small businesses, industries like entertainment, parts like theaters and the airlines, you can get a package through pretty quickly in the unemployment benefit extensions, what they could do is up the amount of money they will send to people while certain income levels 75 r they come up with they will get several thousand dollars to each family and that will help everyone not just those out of work, if they want to put a real effective aid package together, they can do it but if they cannot resist putting in extra stuff, extra political consideration then that's why we have not gotten an agreement yet. connell: to the point of adding extra, it will also take something away and that's what you're speaking with pat toomey the senator coming in with this idea to reign in the federal reserve, as blake said the

democrats are arguing that will handcuff the administration and what's take them off it comes at the 11th hour and were almost at the point where we had a deal in here comes to me with this idea in a blue everything up, what do you say to that? >> the treasury department asked for the money back, most of it a few weeks ago for which mnuchin the treasury secretary was severely criticized so in terms of the extra packages you have things expiring at the end of the month, leave the expiration dates in their and if you need more aid next year, you can do it but right now we have the mechanism in place to help small businesses especially moving restrictions on the small business what they have qualifications for the payroll protection plan which hurts a lot of small businesses because the extra bureaucratic obstacles, clear those out of the way, put the money in and send out another check,

1500 - $1800, i know that sounds like a lot but it's a one-shot that's what you want the immediate assistance now. >> speaking of next year end where we are, that's a big thank you because we might be back to talking about stuff like this, a quick comment from larry kudlow on the economic growth that we might get next year, i want to see whether or not you agree with this, here's what he said. >> 45% is quite reasonable and i think frankly there is a lot of upside potential, again if the growth incentive policies put in place by president trump remai remains, you will have a very sticky economy, underlying economy is very good you will roar next year. connell: 4 - 5% ready to roar next year? >> there's a big word, if, if the term policies are continued, to things stand in the way the georgia election on january 5

and the democrats get control of the senate with a massive tax increase in place, forget about it, another big thing how many new regulations is the biden administration going to impose, they did it during the obama administration which is severely slow down the economy especially for small businesses and the final thing, why has the federal reserve going to behave, will they go for an inflationary policy, nobody's worried about that now but one reason you see bitcoin and gold starting to rise is that the federal reserve is going to blow it. the big word is if if they continued on the present course, no doubt next year will be again buster year that we have the three obstacles, georgia, the federal reserve and regulation coming back again. connell: good stuff, steve forbes, have a great weekend, always good to talk to you. meantime it's about to shake things up, tesla early in the day hit an all-time high into the s&p 500 on monday, then it

turned lower and closed higher, with heavy volume investors are tracking the index and had to buy the stock by the end of the day and people selling in the trading volume, 180 million shares of stock settling at the end of the session, a turnover of $122 billion for tesla. the former investment banker, we talked about tesla as a stock story, an amazing story and now with the big boys in the s&p 500 as a monday, i thought maybe would start today but it starts on monday and the people say let's take a breather and take some profits if i own tesla. >> this is the absolute perfect 2020 stock story, remember two years ago we were talking is tesla going to make it as a public company or will they go private or stay in business and here they are being added to the index as the largest edition of

all time and are going to be waited in the biggest position from a market cap standpoint of the s&p 500, that being said if you look at the research that's been done in terms of company that has been added to claim big companies added into the s&p 500 and coming out on the other side, there has been a huge run-up going into the s&p 500 which we seen and we've seen 200 billion plus dollars in value since just last month and into the patient of 600 or so% this year end the research says people pay more for these possibility than the reality, one that is realized that it ends up being a drag on the s&p 500. a lot to think about there. connell: it could end up being the drag because to your point you've already seen the run-up, $680, great to see you as always, we will have more on that as we continue posing a

grave threat to the u.s., officials are sounding the alarm over the suspected russian cyber hack and that is hitting a number of companies, microsoft has been mentioned and we will break it down and tell you what we know about it next, cvs and walgreens are providing covid vaccine to hard-hit nursing homes. we are on the ground at the long-term care facilities with more, high-tech holiday cheer and that's helping kids to think more critically, we have the smartest toys on the market later on in the hour. ♪ to support a strong immune system, your body needs routine. centrum helps your immune defenses every day, with vitamin c, d and zinc. season, after season.

connell: a fox business alert, chuck schumer begin remarks on the senate floor and senator schumer is supporting bernie sanders and wanting to include $1200 direct checks in the covid bill, we've been talking six or $700 and schumer supporting senator sanders, people like josh hawley on the right have been supporting the $1200 and schumer is on board, i went to go to another fox business alert because we have the earnings report, nike, out better than expected second-quarter results

on the earnings share, nike at 78 cents per share well above 62 set estimate and 11-point to 4 billion in revenues and better-than-expected, the stock responding, up maybe 40% of three and half% after hours with the report coming out a quick note what is interesting on nike it's been doing relatively well during the pandemic and more people focused on health and wellness and nike cells have been benefiting in one of the ways selling directly to people, directing consumer and one of the numbers stood out with a direct sales as they put it, up 32% from the same time last year, nike stock up 4%. let's get to the hacking story, russia the main suspect in the hack attack against the united states, this is the story the more you learn about it it seems to be getting worse by the day, not only the breaching of a number of federal agencies also getting hit our big companies,

microsoft reporting that 40 organizations are targeted, we have all the details and then will do analysis. let's start with gerri willis. >> that is right there saying this is the biggest hack ever in microsoft shares have been down all day long finishing slightly lower after the company's president brad smith had this to say about the incredible hack, he described it as an attack on the united states and the government and other critical institutions including security firms he says it illuminates the ways cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve and become more dangerous as much as anything he said this attack provides a moment of reckoning, originally the reporting on the breach focused on the hocks of u.s. computer and government computer system, department of treasury, commerce department we heard about that but the problem

much more thoroughgoing, making it clear in a statement released last night that the attack is still going on in its targeted scores of corporate players, microsoft says it's identified in work this week to notify 40 of those, as you remember the security software company solar wind has reported the malware was inserted to an upgrade of the company's product that may have been installed by 17000 customers, we have a map here that will give you a sense of how widespread the targeting has been, the infotech sector, software firms, it services, equipment providers represent 43% of the recent attacks that according to microsoft, government and government contractors representing 27% of targets and according to smith such attacks are increasingly privatized to 21st century mercenaries and as i said they

expanded their target and are now attacking those companies that are responsible for putting together covid-19 vaccines, dare i say it this is super serious in getting more and more attention across the board, they say it will take years and hundreds of millions of dollars to put this right. connell: scary stuff into your point super serious. morgan wright joins us now, we want to learn more about this, the chief security advisor because you hear a lot whether the president of microsoft who jerry referred to and used to advise the president of homeland security they said this is really serious stuff and they actually had a headline today that it looks like the cyber hack is an act of war, what are we dealing with them wises so serious, what are we actually dealing with. >> what makes the serious, an example is the detective

burglary, they go to the store and come back an hour later in their home was broken into, not a lot of stuff can happen, these burglars insider homes and computer networks for nine months, they were seeing everything that was going on and collecting every bit of information and using that to move from not only the coppermine network but into other networks and as were finding out from susa and dhs solar winds appears to be not the only way that the attackers and the russians got into the system but obviously solar winds the network systems used by 300,000 companies in the world, they allow you access in the keys to the kingdom which is what the management software gives you as you were saying earlier we have not begun to understand what the damages and how many agencies and companies have been affected. connell: right, every day this week it seems like you learn something else, to say this is worse than we thought, people would imagine in their heads if in the old days somebody broken to the treasury department and

they were hanging out there for hours and hours you would want to say what would they take, did they walk around and look at the painting or take a bunch of material, with these hackers do we know that yet, do we know if they took anything or hanging out, what do we actually know? >> for one thing, they're still there, hi competence is russia, whose tools tactics and procedures we are familiar with but there's new tools and tactics and procedures that we've never seen before, we don't know exactly what's been taken they monitored e-mail and other data communication, they are taken a tremendous amount of information but what this is resemble under representative of, there's been headlines saying this is like an act of war, what they're doing is intelligence preparation of the battlefield before you go after an adversary you collect a lot of information getting into her nuclear stockpile understanding what is there in the federal energy regular trade commission and inner energy grid, they have

collected not just information but in entire catalog of the vulnerabilities and are soft spots in the united states from communication to finance going after covid and vaccine research and development, this was just the equivalent of drunken somebody going to the store and grabbing everything in sight and putting it in the basket and walking out the front door and nobody stopped them, this was a massive intelligence. connell: real quick and then will keep talking about this, how do we get rid of them if they're still there whether company or government agency, how do you get rid of them? >> there is no easy answer, you cannot rip and replace thousands of miles of road and you cannot rip and replace all of your networks all at once they have to come to serious discussion which is to be cut it off, shut it off, we have to do remediation but because these are tactics that we never seen before, software that was written specifically for the

operation, there will be a question of trust, can we trust our networks are secure and that we push the russians out and we've been able to create a when you say this can go on for years we may never get back, it's like covid there will be no such thing as normal anymore and we will never go back to the way things were, this is an earth shattering operation that went on and will forever change how we view trust in cybersecurity. connell: we will keep reporting as we learn more, morgan right on what might be the worst cyber attack that anybody has ever seen. we will move on to other things right now, coca-cola is out with job cuts, the plan from coke is to cut more than 2000 jobs around the world and that includes 1200 in the united states about 12% of the workforce and the reason is what you expected to be a drop in sales amid the pandemic. we'll be right back. ♪ because our way works great for us! but not for your clients. that's why we're a fiduciary,

couple of things going on in washington, d.c., number one and from the house appropriations committee a stopgap funding bill has been filed that would keep the government running through midnight sunday night, things would shut down as of now midnight tonight but this would give us a couple more days, we will follow that in the hallway of the members in the house and senate, we were looking at that during commercial break, they have been walking through the hallway you may not see anyone right now i think i sell durbin, they are getting the shot, nancy pelosi and others are going in and getting their vaccinations on capitol hill, on top of that alert we have the federal reserve and the stress test result, those are coming out for the banks, this is interesting we've been wondering if they could buy back stock, it's now out in official, edward lawrence joins us. >> this is crossing the 33

financial institutions involved in the stress test breathe through but because of the stress test the federal reserve's continuing restrictions on the banks through the first quarter of 2021 with modifications the banks will be allowed to buy back shares and offer dividends but restricted to an amount based on revenues over the past 12 months, if the bank did not make any money over the past 12 months and will not be allowed to do dividends or repurchases. the stress test under the severe hypothetical hot unappointed rates of 12.5% and we came back down to seven and half percent but banks under the scenario lost $600 billion in the bottom line none of the 33 participants came close to the minimum capital ratio of four and half percent, capital one came closest with the love.5%, deutsche bank did the best, 34.6% well-capitalized, the

others somewhere in the middle bank of america 13.5%, j.p. morgan 14.8 and citigroup 15.5, this shows the banks were capitalized under the stress. connell: that was the idea when they started all of this. edward lawrence live in washington with a report on that, we'll get back to the coronavirus second wave, the most recent numbers are from yesterday reporting the highest numbers to go they deaths, hospitalizations and new infections, this is southern california the epicenter of the global covid pandemic and some of the highest infection rate you see anywhere on southern california, the icu capacity fell to 0%, 0%, the vaccine rollout with the fda on the verge of approving emergency use for the second vaccine, this one from a moderna, that only requires one dose and were waiting on that to be official in long-term care facilities were covid deaths had happened

this year, their high on the list to get the vaccine, brian llenas is not one care center at riverdale new york. >> it's a historic effort, the federal government relying on pharmacist from walgreens and cvs to administer four and a half million vaccines to residents and staff as 55000 long-term care centers nationwide. today walgreens began vaccinating -- administering the first pfizer doses to residents and staff at long-term care centers in ohio and connecticut, walgreens says they have 27000 pharmacist ready to go. >> when the vaccine arrives are pharmacist will pick up the vaccine and the approved transport material and transported to the facility, prepare the vaccine and begin the administration process. after that is done we will be monitoring for any side effects.

>> more than 110,000 elderly residents and long-term care facilities have died of covid-19 that is a staggering 39% of all coronavirus deaths in the u.s., the largest nonprofit nursing home with 1800 residents and staff they lost 54 residents to covid-19 and they will deploy the vaccine in three stages. >> will be doing one third of our staff and that way we can monitor side effects to be sure everybody is safe and we don't run the risk of having people out sick because we need our front-line workers here. >> we need to be protected were on the front line, were on the front line and where the transmitters between the residence, between the outside world. >> the vaccine cannot come soon enough for 85-year-old harriet, she's a proud resident of the

hebrew home. >> a little bit nervous but i am definitely going to take it. i have not seen the baby yet, it's been hard on my heart. >> the american healthcare association says they hope all the healthcare facilities nationwide in march 1, that is the target date they hope everybody be inoculated by then. we will see. connell: so many people can relate to that, the last woman you spoke with, she's a little nervous but will still take the vaccine, thank you brian llenas in new york. a good story coming up reach across america one charity making sure veterans are remembered around the holidays, especially during the pandemic we will talk to a woman in charge of the effort in a few minutes, then were going to run through the hottest smart toys on the market this year, that

were still waiting for them to pass something to keep the government (199. analysis of all of this from the wall street journal bill mcgurn and a fox can trigger, you have been around politics and worked in politics for many years, they use the phrase optics, congress has about a low approval rating as a group that you can get in here they are can't get anything done exceptional upon time to get their own vaccine which millions of the rest of us are still waiting for. what do you say? >> they waited till the last minute, the reasoning if there is a deal to go through on the funding it's going to because neither party wants to get the blame but on the big issues, china and intelligence that's a tremendous issue going forward and it would be nice if we could have a bipartisan approach to our most serious adversary in the world today. connell: let's talk about that, this is the camera shot on

capitol hill with members showing up to get their covid shot, swalwell, we talked about the story on the show a few times, it somewhat complicated but here's a member of congress on the intelligence committee of the house, he is connected to the alleged chinese by who left the country but an interim in his office and people are saying this is no big deal that the democrats have said or get this guy off the intelligence committee, what do you make of all this? >> i would like to get them off the intelligence committee, it is not clear he's done anything wrong but he was certainly naïve and thoroughly wrong in the last two years when he was calling donald trump a russian agent and it turns out it looks like he might've been sleeping with the communist agent of a foreign power. i think his case is very interesting but we should not see it in isolation, he is not the first one to fall into a trap like this from a foreign power and we need to see all of

china's actions, if the effor es to influence groups on our campuses in the intellectual property, it is fine, we shut down the whole consulate in houston because of it, it's military actions abroad, it's intimidation of places like taiwan and australia and the people of hong kong, this is part of china's intent to replace us as a dominant power in the region. connell: and the financial side which we care about the most of all the issues that you brought up another story that we'd gone after a number of chinese companies, we know about while we but now you start blacklisting or not allowing other companies to be listed, dji the drum company, i visited their facilities when i was in china but they make a lot of the drones that we use in the united states. a big chipmaker involved as well, how tough should we be against the chinese companies or

is there some level of balance that we don't want to shoot ourselves in the foot because they do a lot of business in american consumers want to have their products, is there a line? >> there is a very clear line and it starts with this, we can do business with china on some things but china has to play by the same rules that everyone else plays by. and it needs to be transparent. i've lived in hong kong for ten years and lots of people did business in china and the one thing that they complained about, they don't follow their own rules, people say the law is unpredictable, no it's very predictable, you're the foreigner and up against the brother-in-law's in the foreign ministry, you going to lose and they've not shown goodwill and a host of the series and they further in terms of business, they have a different model than what we do businesses are expected to contribute to china's efforts against the world including espionage and counterintelligence, that makes them very dangerous partners

when were looking at who we will do business with, as i understand the listing, the criteria is this is punishing countries, companies who don't follow her auditing rules, how can you invite people in and not insist that they follow the same rules everyone else does. >> that is 100% fair, companies coming from all countries around the world, and why not china. thank you as always, bill mcgurn from the wall street journal, a high-tech holiday. we have techie toys coming up and also promote learning for kids and what is an increasingly virtual world, i will have that next. ♪
