mechanisms to the risk if the markets fall, but looking at the markets generally both stocks and bonds are in trouble from our perspective and there's two things that make that case, the first -. connell: we've got to run, there is the bell, phil, records are down except for the russell. see you monday. connell: we can call it come back after all on wall street, stocks reclaiming earlier games at the close, hopes for a stimulus soon to be outweighing the jobs report they came in this morning we have dipped into the red the middle of the trading day there was word from a key democratic senator that we might not get the $2000 stimulus checks then there was back-and-forth and we will sorted out in a moment but as it stands in the close we are higher, the third straight record close, second record in a row for the s&p 500 and for the nasdaq. i want to look at tesla, with a look at tesla at an all-time

high yet again $880 per tesla up 11 days in a row, the longest winning streak is overhead, six straight record close for the stock it is been a remarkable stock story, tesla's market cap more than $800 billion. for the week, major averages starting out 2021 in the green even though whatever's going on in washington the dow, s&p 500 up by over 1% by the week, the nasdaq up 2.5% that is the fourth straight week of gains. stock market keeps on going, i am connell mcshane on "after the bell" it is time for the news that is happening at this hour. box business blake burman is at the white house, edward lawrence in washington and we begin edward with you of the jobs report. >> we are starting to hear the delay in getting relief to people slowing the economy the employment rate stayed at 6.7% the overall we lost 140,000 jobs

in december that the single largest loss of jobs in one month since april 2020. disappointing news for the vice chairman of the federal reserve. >> clearly a setback in december with the sluggish decline of payroll. right now not something i would expect to continue into the new year. >> he thanks the relief package will help boost employment by the summer assuming we can continue vaccinations and open the economy, one part of the relief package is restarting the payroll protection program it is been re-upped with $284 billion with forgivable loans, the first two rounds of the program was credited with supporting or the 51 million jobs and this is what the market is wayne stimulus versus economic growth. the jobs report if you take out one critical sector it was not that bad, the job gains in retail of 121,000 jobs in september, construction 51000,

manufacturing 38000, transportation and warehousing adding 46600 jobs. but leisure and hospitality, dragging down the economy losing 498,000 jobs, 75% of the losses were in food services and drinking places. were talking about restaurants, here is joe biden on this report. >> the bottom line the job report shows we need to provide more immediate relief for working families and businesses now. next week i will be here with you all lane out the groundwork for the next covid economic relief package that meets the cortical moment of our economy and our country that we face at the moment. >> that package will have money for vaccine rollout, schools, yelling out states. it will be in the trillions of dollars. connell: on the point about what is included in that, i know there were questions today about the $2000 stimulus checks, where

joe manchin stands, i know chuck schumer said he wants to $2000 checks, first priority when president-elect biden takes office, how does that mess when we heard from biden. >> that is separate from the relief package that the president-elect is talking about, a spokesman for joe manchin said he will not vote for direct payments with the first priority in a 50/50 split in the senate after january 20 there are enough republicans to support the one item, however, from the past we know the house speaker likes to mix in other things and that could erode the republican support to mixing things up for those checks. connell: that's a very good point you never know how they will vote depending on what is in the bill. let's get to the white house 12 days away from having a new occupant and with the new president as edward was referring to new spending at least as the plan for president-elect joe biden he suggested there will be a massive spending plan in the works once he takes over and

blake burman joins us with more on that. >> there were no specific details as to what exactly that could be or how big this plan might get but the president-elect making a lot of headlines today saying a stimulus relief package could potentially be weeks away. >> the answer is yes it will be in the titans of dollars, the entire package but i will be here next thursday laying out in detail how that package will go. the basic story is simple, if we don't act now things will get much worse and harder to get out of the hole later. >> you remember the relief deal negotiated a few weeks ago by democrats and republicans in washington with $900 billion, however, the first announced that they came out with in the area of $3.4 trillion, if you did the back of the envelope math about two and half trillion dollars a democrats ended up coming down off of, potentially

what might they go for next could be somewhere in the ballpark. connell: trillions and trillions, the other thing biden talked about was the minimum wage hike. >> there could be a lot of things going on, first off with the white house and congressional democrats want to put together as it relates to relief package and whatever else might be coming down the line with their priorities but the president-elect also implored congress to raise the federal minimum wage. >> people in both parties recognize it's time to raise the minimum wage so hard-working people earn at least $15 an hour minimum. no one should work as millions are doing today, 40 hours a week at a job and live below the poverty line. >> that's argument from the president-elect, you know the other side critics would argue now is not the time to ask

companies all across the country to increase their payroll costs. connell: they argue it would her employment, let's talk about all of this with the independent woman's foreign policy director and also douglas joined us economist and c.b.o. director you're headed with spin, all the numbers were talking about in terms of spending under the new administration, what do you make of it, do you think will be able to get a lot through a democratic control of the senate, that is what the market is trying to engage. >> i think it will depend if they can make the case on the merits, if you look at today's jobs reports as lawrence had it directly right we saw a loss of half a million jobs in leisure and hospitality that was directly related to the surgeon covid-19 infections. those will disappear going forward. the remainder of the economy continues to climb out a very deep hole but construction about 3% below where it was a year ago

manufacturing about a fort, steady progress in recovering from the decline that we saw in march and april on 2020. you need to support those who have been out of work for a long time and try to target relief on their financial needs but the larger economy has received 9% of gdp in stimulus and the cares act and about another four in the most recent were at a 13% gdp to a 9% decline, two or 3 trillion more, can you make that case, i think it will be a tough sale. >> they will try, it's good to be tough with the likes of joe manchin who will be a powerful figure in the new congress, democrat from west virginia, this is another point that i was making, even if joe manchin does not necessarily support this you might get some republicans who are in support of the $2000 stimulus checks, what you make about that policy in general giving up that much money to people. >> any sort of stimulus that we

are talking about auto be targeted, to be temporary and to be geared at the folks who need help the most, unfortunately washington, d.c. has a way of include one side that's all for solutions of problems that are more complicated it's no surprise what we seen in the jobs report leisure and hospitality taken a big hit, american in their spending behavior are treating this pandemic as if it is a temporary set of circumstances and that's why people spend so much during the holidays on gifts even if they were unemployed that's why there is a lot of pent-up demand for a lot of the services and i wonder if we won't see lines out the door of restaurants is summer because if you like mere dying to eat out but you haven't had that chance recently. >> i agree i think there's a lot on the pent-up demand argument but for the actual restaurants themselves, it seems that we talk to the restaurant owners all the time, a long way from

now until whatever the pent-up demand is unleashed, that bridge loan, however, we structure that to get them from here until then and allow them to survive essentially, something has to be done. what is that targeted approach especially with restaurants. >> i think that's exactly right there's a big difference between looking at the economy as a whole and those specific sectors especially the restaurants, they are in a world of hurt about a quarter close sense of being under pandemic hit and others are at the edge of financial survival, i think again we saw congress re-up paycheck protection program, that was very effective i keeping small businesses like restaurants in business and keeping their employees attached to those restaurants in getting a paycheck, they did the right thing, they have to keep an eye on it and make sure they take up in the funding is adequate and if they have to go back they

have to add some more, that is the recipe. connell: one last word are you optimistic overall where we are at least economically, it's been a rough week in this country in so many ways, can you leave us without on a friday that better days are ahead. >> i'm an internal optimistic my husband just got a second dose of the pfizer vaccine so i'm starting to feel like there's a light at the di into the tunnel. there's a lot of reasons for optimism and indicators to make the case for something positive. but overall, this is a unique time and we talked about the restaurant industry, it's a very competitive industry even after the pandemic. maybe one reason i'll finish by saying it's a terrible idea to raise the minimum wage and make it that much harder on people who work in sectors like leisure and hospitality to get a job in the first place. connell: the overall number of employees might go down even if the ones who are working are making more, that's argument for years and years, good to see you as well and as we move on, we will talk in a moment about

what's been happening this week the future of the republican party, steve forbes will join us about the path forward to the gop, the rnc chair was reelected today, rejecting an early offer for help, capital police are coming under fire for dodging a helping hand from the national guard, what is really going on with the story we have new developments later on in our. the super bowl taken a hit companies are cutting back on their spending on commercials, we are live from chicago soldier field. we'll be right back. ♪ pay off my student loan debt. they were able to give me a personal loan so i could pay off all of my credit cards. i got my mortgage through sofi and the whole process was so easy. ♪ express yourself ♪ ♪ express yourself

huge audience that president trump is missing out on facebook 2 million daily active users, snapchat has 200 million while twitter is under that and some argue that mr. trump is the single most influential user on twitter with over 88 million followers that accounts for half of the daily use of traffic on the platform, that is huge influence but that might be waiting in the year 24 hour lockout biden adding 200,000 followers almost ten times president trump on facebook despite being blocked indefinitely trump added more facebook than biden and currently the world leader president trump enjoys leeway on social media than others do but twitter worn there are limits that world leaders are not above the policies entirely but we will air on the side of content if there is a clear public interest in doing so, president trump might not get as much leniency when he leaves office in twitter threatening a permanent band and no word if facebook will unlock his account from former first lady michelle obama won silicon valley to permanently ban president trump

but the point is if you do that facebook and twitter does and do open themselves to criticism about the power to amplify or silence voices with many on the right considering they are on the right side, democrats are angry but the role that social media played in organizing the events that led to the capitol hill breach. they're hearing it from both sides, left and right. connell: in terms of how big tech looks at it will obviously get a new administration though it does not mean they're off the hook with the issues that they care about. connell: they talked about break up a big tech, regulation, higher taxes and we solace selloff to start this week, section 230 we heard a lot of talk about even on the democratic side and he repealed him for the 1996 communications decency act to remove the shield of social media for being liable for any other users post. connell: we've been so focused on president trump it'll be

connell: unmasking the future of the republican party, the committee members meeting in florida and reelecting ronna mcdaniel, making a pledge to help the party regain the house and senate majorities that have been lost in the midterm of 2022. phil keating is covering the proceedings live in amelia island florida with the details. >> the annual rnc annual meeting really came which what ended up

being a really bad week, the republican candidates lost, that means democrats control all of the federal government for the next two years at least, president-elect joe biden's term then became ugly wednesday when the trump supporters storm the capital and looted inside right after the trump rally ended nearby, the meeting itself was electing officers which they did today and in large part a meeting of the minds and after the past november's election there was a lot of conversations going on this week about the direction, strategy and the future of where the gop needs to go now. inside the general session today which was open to the public care woman ronna mcdaniel who won reelection for a third term indicating their primary focus needs to be looking ahead to

2022, staying the course increasing a growing minority outreach taking it directly to the democrats in leading leftist politics and policy. >> i am mad and i'm not good to let socialism roll in this country and i'm going to work with every single one of you to make sure we take back the house and the senate in 2022. >> we spoke with kentucky senator rand paul who came to persuade rnc members for a return to the traditional republican fiscally conservative ideology different from the past four years were the nation surged by trillions. >> frankly i am a voice with the republican national committee saying we need to recapture this party and make sure people know it's a home for conservatives but were not going to be for the free money popular is him that summer promoting.

>> originally president trump was expected to come down here to amelia island for the rnc annual meeting in person, however, that got scuttled but he did address the members in a pretaped two-minute video message that was taped outside the white house and the president also talked about the status and state of the parties saying our popularity as a party is doing very well, we have setbacks every once in a while but i think we are in great shape, no word on when that tape is made and the only people that got to view it were the rnc members inside the hotel, that made public. back to you. >> phil keating life for us, let's talk with the forbes media chairman who joins us right now, really hard to make a case after losing the white house and losing control of the senate,

what do you think should be done next, where should the priorities lie for the republican party. >> the priority should lie with the principles that made the party a majority party started with ronald reagan that is a low, low, low taxes and less regulation, patient control of healthcare that will be a major issue in the coming months that patients have more control over healthcare, a strong national defense. the party did well on the 2020 election and made real games in the house representative and governorships and the like in the senate held the seats that were thought to be vulnerable, the two were lost in georgia was a reaction to what happened with the election after the president, not a repudiation of the republican party, the party itself goes into 2022 in fairly good shape, i don't think the democrats are going to do a great job of running the economy there to go for more regulation and start to increase taxes, the

gop has to stick to basic principles and they will do just fine. >> that's an interesting point with the georgia race being a repudiation of the president, the presidential election was as well and the republican party gained seats in the house although there still a majority, dissolving the president himself if there's questions if there's any political future and it's pretty much done politically and the party moves on to new leadership over the next few years, is that what you are suggesting? >> i think the party is looking for new faces and there's a lot of candidates getting ready for 2024 and i think there will be new faces emerging in 2022, the bench is good and republicans are very strong with state legislatures which means i'll be in good reduction after the census of 2020 becomes official, the party if they stick to their moorings they will do a very

well with voters because voters will have a chance to have the economy move ahead in before covid this economy was beginning to roar. >> there has been successions even though there's 12 days left to buy next week it'll be a week left that president trump should be removed from office i think we will see articles of impeachment on the floor of the house next week. if he were to be impeached, removed and disqualified you can make the argument that that eliminates him of someone who could run again, would you support the president been removed with such a short time left in his term, do you think it's a good idea. >> the wall street journal had a good editorial saying and impeachment process will be drawnout, bitter, make him look like a martyr same thing trying to revoke the 20 for the moment which's work obligated the people thought if he goes is going to be on his own volition. the key thing is, it'll really hurt himself, damage himself in the country by what happened on wednesday, very ugly thing and

his influence, he will have some influence but it's not going to be what it was before the november election, people are very discouraged by what happened after the election and i think the party wants to move ahead, a lot of good leaders out there and i think you will see them come to the floor and people will be impressed by what many are going to offer in areas like health care and national defense. connell: a two-part final question, are you suggesting the president should resign and who are the good leaders you are talking about, name a few. >> in terms of the president going to resign, i think the key thing, the then next 12 days nothing happened. i don't think anything's going to happen the national security team is going to stay in place, the thing should be the focus on the future and when you look out that you have a number of governors such as governor desantis of florida, nikki haley a former un ambassador and a number of senators, tom cotton

of arkansas and others out there and morgan emerge in the 2022 election. there will be plenty of faces out there to run and i think the governor of south dakota is going to be a candidate if she runs at 2024 and i think there will be a lot of exciting things happening and i think the parties especially will happen this week wants to move ahead, the past is the past, real achievements were achieved in the last four years but we gotta move ahead and i think the people are there to do it. by the way -- the federal reserve sound dollar, no issue today but it will be in the next year or so as the trillions flood into the economy. gop will be good on that issue and not the democrats. >> we will pick that up, toys good to see you, steve forbes on

a friday. talking about the future of the gop. we have a battle over vaccine rollout that has been developing in a number of states for new york where the new york city mayor bill de blasio is demanding more from changes to the states distribution plan, forcing unused doses to be thrown out how the governor is responding to that coming up next, plus advertiser spending a record $489 billion on super bowl ads last year but the game might not be the most covered slot on tv this year. we'll talk about it coming up and then there is close to a billion dollars up for grabs between the nation to largest lottery jackpot, making millions drawing stands at 510 million, the powerball worth an estimated 407 million, the odds of winning, about one in 302 million. give it a shot if you want, we will be back.

i should note one additional note that we have from the army secretary with the additional national guardsmen who will arrive to secure the grounds ahead of the inauguration they are toying with the idea of giving them weapons with live ammunition. back to you. connell: i know there's been questions armed or unarmed. mike tobin live in washington, we've heard from senior defense officials who have revealed capitol hill police rejected an offer for help from the guard days before the riot took place, a lot of question that would happen, a lot of back-and-forth i know jennifer griffin that joined us from the pentagon, what is the latest. >> army secretary brian mccarthy said he was not asked national guard troops to protect ahead of the mob storming in on wednesd wednesday, we were not precor

needed or asked for support by the capital police, the capitol hill police has a responsibility in the jurisdiction, they are separate branch of government, they had to ask for support. >> we engaged with the capital police last week and into the weekend quest if they are going to come with request for assistance, sunday pre-january and they were not going to have any request for assistance of dod. >> i am told the mayor was reluctant to have any national guard inside of the protest during agency planning calls, that included the pentagon, the justice department which was in the lead in the capital police. the mayor agreed to have unarmed national guard wearing different uniforms, she was specific of not having any military and protesters agreed with her senior defense and told me today we offered the national guard to the mayor and federal law enforcement to include the capital police and for the national guard ready force they said no thank you the pentagon

connell: welcome back to "after the bell" we heard from the new york city mayor bill de blasio in a tweet over the last hour and the tweet reads as follows new york city has enough we will administer shots to city workers in the elderly and 1b starting on monday the next phase of the vaccine rollout he's been under pressure as a vaccine rollout has fallen behind the promise scheduled only 13% of frontline healthcare workers have been vaccinated so far in new york city. word joined by the doctor with the senior director systemwide pathogens program for new york city health and hospitals. i'm not going to ask you to weigh in the politics back-and-forth between the governor and the mayor of new york but i'll ask you what is going on as far as you know with the vaccine rollout, it seems like were behind, what is going on? >> i think were behind on a

national level and locally within new york city we know there's thousands of doses that are sitting on shelves and should be in people's arms were in the phase of the pandemic locally and nationally and there's no reason for us to not provide vaccinations including those that are at highest risk and those most foldable, we know the pandemic obviously is getting worse and if you look at the trajectory and the number of hospitalizations in new york city that is increasing by the hundreds, cases are increasing by the thousands and we need to make sure were wrapping up as fast as possible with vaccination efforts. connell: explain the phases, a what is happening and be what should happen, the number that we saw earlier and you can correct me if you have an updated figure 270,000 doses sitting on the sidelines and not being used, there have been calls instead of just

vaccinating healthcare, frontline healthcare workers which is important let's move on have the supply meet the demand and have people 75 years of age and older get the vaccine. is that what the mayor talk about what will happen next in your view what should happen? >> i think number one there needs to be flexibility in terms of who we can provide the vaccine there's a number of individuals that obviously highest gris risk that are willo take the vaccine and we should be administering it to these individuals will be talk about the priorities, ia which is frontline healthcare workers and then individuals that are in resident in nursing homes and working in the nursing homes when we transition over to 1b you have a higher in pool of essential workers and over the age of 75, now when you have hundreds of thousands of vaccines made available you can pivot to the next phase but because of certain restrictions you are not able to do so, there needs to be more flexibility and

we can make sure were vaccinating as many people as possible. connell: one of the issues we talked about day one we need people to buy into take the vaccine including frontline healthcare workers who would be building confidence in others on the line and to some extent it looks like that might not be happening, is not troubling and what would you say to a colleague who is reluctant to take the vaccine now and maybe wants to put it off for a little while, whatever the case may be, what do you say to that person? >> we are seeing quite a high number of healthcare workers refusing to get vaccinated for a number of different reasons. we have been tackling those reasons from the national platform talking about how the vaccines have been developed and obviously the administrations of the profile the efficacy in your scene about 30% of frontline healthcare workers refusing to take the vaccine, because they're doing the watch and wait

approach. for me as i see my colleagues this is the most acute phase of the pandemic and we want to protect as many people as possible and inoculation, people are making informed decisions themselves to making sure they have the facts correct that's were having a problem people have these questions and we have the answers that come from a national platform, there needs to be more messages coming from the federal podium talking about the campaign and how they have been developed, how they worked in the safety inefficacy of the profile you're not seeing that we haven't launched on a national scale with a robust, 19 vaccine education platform or campaign and that should've happened way before it's not too late to do so because were stil. connell: a change in

administration could affect that we don't have time to talk about it now but we want to point others good news on the vaccine each time we get a study like pfizer, we have a study that showed the uk variant and the vaccine appears to work, it was good news nonetheless, doctor thank you for coming on and talking about these issues with us. a place where they have a major incident as they're calling it is london the city facing a dark reality around one in 30 london residence estimated to be affected by covid-19, the healthcare system looks to be overwhelmed and greg joins us from there, he's in london with the details, what is the latest. >> he spoke today via videotape, he said and i quote the covid-19 and london is out of control, maybe worse in the worst days that we saw last spring with the coronavirus. as in the united states or can be some hope, health authority

starting injections of the with a vaccine approved by astrazeneca, around 70%. most importantly it is cheap, can be transported and stored at normal refrigerated temperatures and plentiful. this is a vaccine as your viewers can remember that got a lot of attention and money about a billion dollars from operation warp speed but it now might not get fda approval until april as u.s. test ca continue pre-theres bad reaction, and study group and according to one fda critic the u.s. needs to move now. take a listen. >> the fda should be working faster to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this vaccine because we see in other countries that have good safety review processes approve the vaccine for general use. because of the tens of thousands of people that are dying each week in the united states, not approving the vaccine has

significant mortality consequences. >> the fda defended the process explaining to us we will not cut corners, any vaccine that we authorize what absolutely meet our rigorous standards, each country must make decisions regarding the vaccine based on its evaluation of the benefit and risk. we know it demonstrated here nationwide in the uk and the last day over 68000 cases, over 1300 deaths. those are records down to the new contagious strain of the vaccine. that is why there is three shots that it been approved. connell: greg, thank you, greg live in london. a different subject the super bowl , we will have won this year but it might look different than in years past, grady trimble, what is coming up. >> little caesars and sombra homeless, all of those companies have something in common and we will tell you what it iss next.
