3:03 pm
control. liz: i'm going to show you those live pictures as president biden is inside the white house for the last ten or 15 minutes and started to outline the executive orders that he will sign momentarily were told from the white house the president will sign ten of them today as it relates to covid-19 and trying to tackle the pandemic the president unveiling his administration strategy to deal with it all, let me kicked through the executive orders that the president will sign momentarily. invoking the defense act for manufacturing and delivery of undersupplied ppe he will set up a covid-19 pandemic testing board, he will implore the health and human services and the department of education to issue new guidance on school re-openings and ask osha to issue guidance for workers and businesses, how to keep workers safe the president will sign an executive order on mask wearing making it mandatory in airports and when you're on public transportation, airplanes, trains, ports of entry and the like. as for the president's national
3:04 pm
plan that is also unveiling today and includes a covid-19 response office a call to create federally run vaccination centers to hire 100,000 contact tracers and healthcare workers and to invoke the defense act for a national strategy for school reopening, here is the president moments ago. >> while the vaccine provides so much hope the rollout has been a dismal failure this far. i understand the despair and frustration of so many americans and how they are feeling. >> was also learned that amazon has announced it would lend a hand in the effort and offered the biden administration to use its facilities for vaccine efforts that we are prepared to leverage our information technology and communication ability and expertise to assist your administration vaccination
3:05 pm
efforts. while amazon had been talking to the trump administration cdc fox has told there is not a similar letter or an offer made to the previous administration. liz: we are watching him sign this live as he signs ten executive orders all within the purview that were basically focused on the pandemic this is something that he very widely telegraphed well ahead of his election saying this is what we gotta do and then of course after he was elected it was 100 million vaccinations within his first 100 days, do you think you could do it? >> that is the goal 100 vaccinations administered in the first 100 days where we stand right now the situation the president took over on inauguration day 35.9 million the vaccines but less than half of that 16 and a half million ministered only 2.1 million americans have actually gotten both of their doses whether from pfizer or moderna.
3:06 pm
the need to continue to push forward with vaccinating the country is most certainly there you can see doctor anthony fauci over the shoulder, perfect timing one of the president's top advisers, dr. fauci said today he is one of the 2.1 million americans have received his second dose. liz: excellent work. one of president's cabinet nominees is getting blamed/credited for the drama hitting crypto currency. take a look at bitcoin it was down more than 9% earlier now it's down 7% down about $2785 to 2323 that is the second daily drop in a row at three week low, a lesser traded crypto currency just hit an all-time high back on tuesday and pulling back from
3:07 pm
highs that hit on tuesday as i mentioned, today alone it is losing, think about 9% i am checking this out on queen desk, it is down about 9.5% the collective wipeout of $100 billion of the entire market comes after u.s. treasury secretary nominee janet yellen warned that lawmakers should curtail crypto use because she says is primarily used for illicit financing. that also sent stocks, they micro strategies are all related you can see there getting humor. take a look at the housing sector. homebuilders going crazy after they rose 5.8% month over month that is the fastest pace for the month of december since back in 2006 with the final hour blasting away to the floor show traders, fill you can look at the vile doll energy names to,
3:08 pm
fuel-cell gapping at the open down to 180 moving higher right now, it is about 3% higher, price action today, if you're waiting for an entry point and whatever hot sector you have to be so quick, how do you do? >> i think in this sector you have to buy every break and mainly because it's not about earnings with these companies right now it's about the new administration coming in, even the ceo says were having trouble making money right now but things are going to look better under the administration with the green energy money that will be put into the marketplace. that is one of the trades that will be hot in the administration the anticipation of a lot of spending may be trillions of dollars of green energy projects you will make these companies look better than they would've if they were on their own for example. we saw that during the obama administration, a lot of them went through the roof.
3:09 pm
how many lasted that is a different story but for the short one there a good thing, you have to be careful these stocks, some of these companies you have to be very careful it's almost like a crypto currency you never know when the bottom is going to fallout so you have to be very careful which one to pick. liz: you gotta give me a sense of what you feel is the best way to get in when you see a minor pullback because 3% and some of these names are 5% but it may be your last chance in the next couple of weeks, very bottle under volatile names. >> we know the federal reserve has committed in more stimulus efforts, the market has gone up and up and we talked about all-time highs which seems to be every other day volatility that does persist or give us the opportunity should be taken advantage of and we should be building out our position we
3:10 pm
believe the earnings recovery story is fully intact, the business cycle has started to reboot and we've been in a v-shaped recovery, looking at the cyclicality names such as financials, materials those are exposures as economic continues and we know the biden a administration is putting in new initiatives that will have distributions faster and get the economy continuation that we have been on over the last 6 - 8 months. liz: two of the dow leaders are travelers and intel report after "after the bell" and were in the fourth quarter earnings report season. are you looking at any name out there today or in the future in a couple of weeks that you believe could set that tone for even higher highs? >> i think we see the tone being set with the earnings that we have you mention travelers that could be a good stock, all the energy names saying the worst is over for the energy sector and by midyear will be back to
3:11 pm
normal, that plays in to a strong backdrop for a lot of these markets, i think energy, material, financial, but strong and i think that will keep going, get back to bitcoin the bitcoin issue, the regulation on that will be a problem but there's no but doubt the innovation is an believable in this phase. and it will continue yet to be very careful sometimes when you try to clamp down and technology can actually harm the economy because using the crypto currencies down the road maybe the future of finance is something that you don't want to crackdown on too hard. liz: think you were looking at the nasdaq at a session high but regardless, any gain for the tech heavy index continues to run that it has seen, great to have you both, let's get to the biden cabinet it is pretty bare

biden's new term as he faces and tackle multiple challenges that directly tie to your money and investments. pushing for a 2 trillion-dollar stimulus package, raising taxes and regulating big tech and social media, where should he aimed the congressional ammo first to forbes media chairman and formal candidate steve forbes and chairman of the economic advisor under president obama austan goolsbee. great to have you both. let's start and 0 in on stimulus, go big or a narrow version in the hopes of passing congress. >> go with a narrow version remember spending has to be financed by printing money which is not good raising tax will hurt the economy not help it. this case small is better, focus on small businesses, do the $2000 stimulus checks i know they don't do much stimulus but to get it out there and drop the rest.
3:37 pm
liz: 1.9 trillion is that a skinny version in your opinion. >> 1.9 trillion they could mop a trillion often do a lot of good. we don't want the fed inadvertently printing too much money and setting off inflation. liz: a little too late for that, i don't know austin big or a skinny version of the stimulus package. >> it all depends what you're calling big and what you're calling skinny pre-this is absolutely needed joe biden ran on the census platform if you vote for me here's what i'm going to do. he got 81 million votes and now he's proposing to do exactly what he said he was going to do. chuck tax cut that had a bigger impact on the deficit and the critics of joe biden's program had no problem when the deficit was going up because of the tax
3:38 pm
cut for income people. i just don't think that argument is going to carry that much weight. i think you should look at stimulus because i don't think this is disaster relief. liz: disaster relief we are in a war of sorts and i know you cover that as well using your terminology. before we get the taxes i want to ask about one thing, new york governor andrew cuomo is threatening to sue the abided administration if it does not deliver 15 billion for the state of new york and coronavirus relief for the actual state, is the that you believe could be locked off you are a new york resident. >> i live in new jersey -- new jersey needs it to. the answer is no one thing to cover actual cost of the covid crisis this is a way of financing the fiscal mismanagement and new york new
3:39 pm
york has a lesser population than florida and a budget twice the side of florida that tells you all you need to know about the management of new york's finances. they are driving people away and the governor is proposing higher taxes again. leading patients in the days, the patient entered the doctor used to believe the patient and the patient did get better that's what governor cuomo is doing in new york right now. >> austin what do you stand on that? >> i knew a long time ago don't get between steve and his argument with the governor of new york state. i'm not going to get in the middle of that. i will just point out in 50 of the states you are seeing massive pressures and because they have balance budget requirements you could easily tie the amount of assistance to something that has nothing to do with fiscal management that is tied to population and impact of

the coronavirus but if you do not give something you are going to see 1000000 - 2000000 state and local workers be laid off in the 50 states, is not going to be exclusively in blue states that's one of the speed bumps that we have to be careful of, these states problems are not the result of their own actions there because of a failed national strategy to fight the virus. liz: i want to get the tax cuts versus tax hikes there is not a chance we will see a tax cut by giving your sense, biden said he will do a tax hike on people who make over a certain amount 400,000 progressive tax hike we have to paper this evening skinny bill how do we do that without a tax hike? >> the tax hike will hurt the economy not help but it destroys capital, raising the capital gains tax to a high of 44%, not
3:41 pm
good raising the corporate tax rate we are now competitive with the country this would make is uncompetitive again in raising income taxes destroys and states like new york why do on a national level, raising taxes can actually hurt the economy and the only way that you pay for these things when an economy creates resources and getting off the people's backs rather than putting burdens on people's backs reducing the burdens is the way you get the resources made otherwise you'll get a riproaring inflation and i know nobody believes that now but wait when this money comes cascading into the economy. liz: money came cascading out of tax revenues after the tax cut that the gop putted that is just a fact and that was before the pandemic, you tell me which part of the tax code needs to be a priority and what does he need to push to the back burner. >> he prioritized to pay for the
3:42 pm
program that is not the disaster relief spending that part you want to finance with deficit finance because of doubt into disaster relief, for a broader program he wants to finance as he said throughout the campaign by raising taxes on high income people in the largest corporation, donald trump cut those taxes by $2 trillion and it remains the most unpopular tax cut in the history of american poor. the simple reason people can see it did not work the argument that it would be a massive trickle down was wrong it is not true, and polling there is widespread majority of people who say we should change the system so billionaires like donald trump himself did not pay $750 of taxes. they should absolutely begin with that. >> you guys are great to face

directly to the stocks in insider trading it is not an easy thing to prove, on a criminal level so to some degree they cannot do that. this is a big but, as of now this may change in an hour or tomorrow fox business has learned that the security exchange commission has not dropped it simple case against for we should point out the sec has a much lower bar when you bring civil charges it does not have to show the level of intent that the justice department does in also you do not go to jail when you get sec charge you have to make pay a big fine or on a public board. it is a lower bar. i will tell you this, his attorneys believe he has a good shot even if they bring a case and they're not convinced they will bring a case, they were good shot to say to beat back those charges, the same reasons, it's hard to tie the trade
3:52 pm
specifically to the information received in it was very broad, the information received was out there, one other point i want to make clear martha stewart did not get charged criminally for insider trading she got charge civilly, now she went to jail because she lied allegedly about the civil investigation. but remember the civil charges are much lower and is now he is not out of the woods on a civil level but his lawyers are confident they can be back the case or convince the fcc not to bring back the charges. back to you. liz: charlie, thank you very much good clarification covid vaccines to get back to work at the office. the counter closer says work from home at least the stocks are here to stay. he will make his case for at-home tech stocks. that is next eight minutes away from the closing bell we are on

♪. liz: two major names in tech, ibm and intel. jackie deangelis in the newsroom what we're looking for here. >> intel is expected to report earnings of $1.10 per share on revenue of 17 1/2 billion dollars. those earnings would be down 27 1/2% from a year ago. investors want to know about intel's long term manufacturing strategy. specifically outsourcing more that would change the business model a little. they have the reputation for making best products, making them in-house. rivals are stepping up. goal to make chips that are crunching them as possible. you need to make them in house or out of house.
3:57 pm
ibm expected to report earnings of $1.89. on revenue of 26.7 billion. those earnings would be down 62% year-over-year. the company will not be providing guidance because of covid. some are hoping maybe they will say we'll continue to continue guidance next time around or whatever the case may be. there is this issue how it has been managing unnamed spun off business. how could that pave the way for more restructuring. a lot to dig into with these two, liz. liz: stand by, we're waiting on those numbers, jackie. stay at home, work at home, a huge theme of 2020. obviously. it is not going away anytime soon. at least that's what are today's count down closer says. he is michael harris. heritage financial director. michael, let's say we're having a conversation six months from now. make your case for these names, particularly win ones, there is
3:58 pm
sort of a panoply to choose from. >> no doubt the stay at home trade will continue to have momentum like we've seen some of the tech names you know, continue to become bid up today. but what is really interesting i think, is that we're going to probably see rotation from some of those tech names into some more value oriented names in the second half of the year. once we start to see the return to the new normal. some sectors that i think are really interesting are tech and leisure. so from a leisure and travel standpoint we'll see all of that penalty-up demand come back in the second half of the year as economic recovery starts to, starts to pan out. another to think about is financials, right? so we've seen stock buybacks across the board. m&a activity is at record highs and the yield curve is steepening. many of the bank names are also going to be a good value play to pick up here over the next six months. liz: however specifically, when you talk about the names that will work from work from home,
3:59 pm
if you look at the work from home etf which was born of this pandemic, you know the six month chart looks amazing. even as we watch the vaccinations start to make their way through the system. this is an intraday, you can see from the six-month chart a nice move than what they actually made. sub sectors in the work from home, play at home space that might continue to do well. >> i think in many cases the train already left the station when it comes to work from home. that is why we're telling folks that they need to start positioning for the next cycle in the markets away from some of the growth tech names into some of the value sectors that i mentioned. another one that i think is really important here is infrastructure. so i think it is everyone feels that there will be a some sort of a bipartisan deal in washington in order to be able to buildout rebuild america, if you will. an on the back of that, we could see commercial services and subsectors like transportation benefit from that.
