hybrid, private sector, government. then there's a command economy, and that's where a government controls all, i mean, the government controls all economic activities and and transactions. we are rapidly moving further and further in that direction. now, the idea that big industries will still be allowed to operate, right, if you get this hybrid where government's more in command, that means big moats around them, right? that just means less small businesses. in fact, they're struggling. this morning nfib, the uncertainty factor spiking to an all-time high. small businesses getting shut out in this world. so for me, this is not the world for me. this is why i'm excited about this town hall, folks, on thursday. we're going to talk about this, how to keep our animal spirits going, how to make sure that we are still the pre'em tent nation in the world and how you should profit from it. welcome back, liz. liz: oh, thank you very much, charles. stocks right now in the green close to session highs, but we

begin with a warning as we kick off the final hour of trade. time is running out for floridians to escape what the national hurricane center is calling, quote, potentially one of the most destructive hurricanes on record for west central florida. let us show you because this is extraordinarily important exactly where hurricane milton is right now. it is a monster in size. currently a category four storm with sustained winds of 155 miles per hour, milton is currently lashing the yucatan peninsula and sits 520 miles southwest of tampa, florida. it appears to be heading straight for tampa, st. petersburg on florida's west coast and is expected to make landfall tomorrow night or early or thursday morning. it's kind of a moving target though, we never really know, so you have to the stay tuned to fox business and fox weather. evacuations have been ordered for more than a million people who live along hundreds of miles of the western coastline. what you're looking at right now

is a huge line of traffic snaking its way north as residents rush to dodge the rapidly intensifying storm and an expected storm surge of up to 15 feet. this on your screen is i-75 northbound, mile marker 65. so you can see crawling along. nobody is coming southbound. everybody's going northbound. more than a million evacuations are expected here. even the federal reserve is weighing in on the situation at this hour. rafael bostick saying this afternoon that hurricanes milton and helene, which blew through a week ago, potentially have significant implications for the economy over the next3- 6 months. property and casualty insurance stocks are in the green at the moment, and if you look at home depot there at the bottom, it's up 1.7%, that's a 3-year high as floridians stock up ahead of the storm. coming up, what we're going to do is take you live to

bradenton, florida, for the very latest on this unusual and very dangerous hurricane. if. all right, let's get to the markets. after yesterday's selloff a, we are looking at the dow jones industrials gaining 132 points, s&p up 50. the nasdaq chopping higher by 2233 points. the russell -- 233. the was elle 2000 up 5. -- russell 2000 up 5. treasury yields have not. yesterday both the 232 and the 01-year breached the 4% ceiling, and the 10-year is at 4.04, up 1.3 basis points. the 2-year is retracing a little bit, it's down 1 basis point to 3.985. let's get to oil. after gushing 3.7 higher yesterday, oil futures are receding. we've got light sweet crude right now down 4.33% in the aftermarket. brent, the international benchmark, down 4.3%. investors have big tissue to fly

in the -- fry in the next few days. the latest read on consumer inflation, september cpi, coming in thursday with bank earnings kicking off the season friday. joining me now, jeff sica and carnivore trading ceo dutch masters. jeff, i'm throwing this to you first. we know that cpi is coming on thursday. people started to say that the inflation reports weren't as important as they were in the past. if are they still important to you? if. >> i think they're paramount right now because here we come off of a couple of days ago we got that very strong jobs report and everybody started to question, does the fed if have enough ammunition to cut interest rates 50 by sis points -- basis points in november. so we had china came outthey, there was a tsunami of liquidity provided for the market, the stimulus. lei. liz: yeah. >> and now you're going to see if that's affected consumer prices and does the fed have the

justification to decrease interest rates 50 basis points. that's what investors want. i think it's most likely not going to happen now, and that could have an effect on the market. liz: you know, the past several days and into late last week we had the china stocks roaring higher. but then there was a meeting of the top chinese officials overnight, and they didn't announce if new stimulus measures. and you started to see chinese equities come down. i was surprised that that didn't negatively affect our markets. but at the moment, it certainly doesn't appear to. so, dutch, what are you looking at at 30,000 feet on a day like this where we're back in the between? we're not roaring ahead or, certainly, erasing at least for the dow jones industrials which yesterday lost about 398 points, so we haven't erased that yet, but what is capturing your eye as a top investor? >> well, we're seeing the 10-year at over 4 is kind of holding things back, we think,

and we also are waiting to see if the russell 2000 will tart to pick up. we really want to see those two things happen in order for us to get more bullish. we're being kind of patient. we're sitting in a fair amount of cash, and're not -- and we're not being too impullive. china did provide an incredible amount of stimulus, and when they pulled back, i expected us to get hit ooh too. but i agree with jeff, i don't think we're going, to the see 50 basis points on the next move. i think it's 25. i'm not a big bond guy, i'm a stock guy. what i'm doing is reading the tape and watching what the action is in the stock market and feeling how that's -- and i'll tell you, it's been ignoring a lot of things. i think it's climbing that wall of worry, and, you know, what we are doing is being very selective in the sectors. and as you and i talked about last time, that a. i. database buildout sector has done well for us. liz: yeah, it certainly has.

and you were taking sort of a wider picture so -- to some of the fringe names that are a out there that are publicly traded in the a.i. space. you look at some of the names that are central to it whether it's nvidia or micron, broadcom, microsoft. microsoft actually got a downgrade earlier, oppenheimer cut it to perform from outperform. but as you sort of focus in on this, which areas of a.i. do you feel you need to scrape into the portfolio? >> well, the guys that are actually providing the electronic components and the sr. storage -- and the storage and the conduits, the electrical conduits and everything that goes into the actual buildout, these are the powls, the arista networks, anet. these are -- yeah, there they are, brt. these are the companies that are really providing -- most people have never heard of these companies before. everybody's heard of nvidia, and so you go to the cocktail party

and hear about nvidia, so what, okay? [laughter] these are the ones underneath that are providing immense growth. then you've got some old school scuff like corning and train, and you would think to yourself, these companies haven't done anything for a long time. but who's going to do the cooling? you know? liz: yeah. >> who better than train? if. liz: yeah. the old school names. we've known pent if air for a long time, not to mention corning. which, by the way, for those of you older folks who understand -- [laughter] where these tickers came from from, that stands for glass works. >> that's right. liz: you're looking at a different kind of tech. you're watching tesla very closely. the robotaxi event is coming up. is that some kind of catalyst that could actually move a broader part of the markets? >> i really think it is. and people aren't looking at it for what it is, which is this a lot of ways an a.i. play. i mean, tesla had a very frat year -- flat year.

most of its gains, above 700 percent of the gain was from -- 70% of the gain was from april. elon musk has come out and said that the future of tesla is autonomous driving. autonomous driving is so intertwined with a.i. i agree, i love those stocks, by the way, that this dutch talked about. i agree with that. what he also, what elon musk also said is that the robotaxi could end crease tesla's -- increase tesla's value by tenfold. so the way i look at it is if they have a good event in your neck of the woods, in burbank, hollywood, where the event is -- [laughter] so if they have a good event, if it lives up to the hype, you could see a.i. stocks and tesla do -- liz: we've seen elon gets a little hyperbolic. some of that stuff comes later than he promises, but we're watching all a of it. and, again, dow is still up about10 points. green on the screen. -- 1110

liz: fox business alert, while jpmorgan and wells fargo officially kick off third quarter earnings season friday, pepsico reported earnings today. shares are overcoming disappointing results at this hour. the stock is gaining just under2% even after the food and beverage giant reported a drop in third quarter revenue and trim thed its full-year sales cast. pepsi's revenue miss was due in part to a 13% if decline in sales at quaker foods which was hit by product recalls earlier this year. north american beverage sales volume also fell 3, and the company noted that customer spending is slowing in china, mexico and some parts of europe. so where's the stock optimism coming? pepsi is making inroads and forging ahead into the health conscious space. last week the company announced a $1.22 billion acquisition of siete foods, a brand that makes to have tee yas, salsas and

away from the first ever faceoff of the new kids on the nhl block, the utah hockey club. the team begins its inaugural season by taking on chicago blackhawks at the delta center in salt lake city the,s 10 p.m. eastern, 8 mountain time. the u.s. team is this are reincarnation of the bankrupt arizona coyotes. utah jazz owner ryan smith swooped in and purchased it in the late april after a series of mishaps by the previous team management including a legal battle over $1.3 million in unpaid tax bills. so how does smith ensure his newest start-up doesn't end up in the financial penalty box? joining us live from the delta center in salt lake city, ryan smith, the owner of the national hockey league's newest expansion team, the u.s. hockey club. ryan, congratulations. i know you just had a news conference with gary bettman. i know air force pilots are going to do a flyover before the puck drop, and here you are. can you even breathe?

>> no. i think we're ready. i mean, it's crazy that we've been kind of running on an unprecedented timeline, but the state's incredible. like, people have rallied,, and it's almost been everyone's mission to prove to the world that you can do something in this short time frame. the energy is insane. i've never seen anything like this in my life. liz: let's talk about that short time frame. it was, what, just six months ago that you started to put the wheels in motion and say i want this team, where's it going to the play? it's playing at the delta center where your other team, the u.s. jazz, play. i was thinking about lo gist ins. how did you make an ice rink underneath the delta center in such a short time, and you had to wait to make sure that you officially had the team. >> yeah. liz, it was april 17th when we got the phone call that said, hey, we're going to do this. and and, you know, we jumped on a plane, went down to arizona

and sat in a hotel ballroom and told 80 people, basically, that they'd been traded the utah. and, you know, there's really no playbook for that. liz: right it -- right. >> but when they showed up here a couple of days later in utah, there was 14,000 people in the arena, people waiting around the block, ice on the ground, and it kind of fueled both the players, the organization and the state on the art of the possible. and to be here today with new locker rooms, new training facilities and everyone just ready to go, it's quite miraculous. but the seg team and the community has rallied, and that's kind of what we do here. liz: have you ever thought of becoming a wedding planner? you can put things together -- the. [laughter] >> it feels like we're putting on a wedding tonight for everyone to enjoy. but that's part of sports. if you actually think about it, we're put on a show every single night. we're a media company.

and we've got talent on the ice. a lot of times you can't control the wins or losses, so in a way, it's kind of the perfect if analogy. if. liz: okay. i would go with that. let's talk about ticket sales. i know that right off the bat you sold, what, 8500 full season ticket package, full seen equivalent, i guess that would be, ticket packages. tell me what else, you know, when you talk about revenue coming in, because that is the issue. it certainly was with the arizona coyotes, to get people through the turnstiles and buy the merch. >> yeah. it's, i mean, especially on a shore time frame, that's not an easy task. but the team's rallied. more than that, the community has rallied around it. it looks like we'll be top 20 the already in the nhl in revenue and sponsorships, which is pretty crazy, and it's just a five-and-a-half month time frame. with a partially kind of fitted arena for hockey.

we'll be much, much more act ually mated once we get over the next couple of years all 17,000 seats in here for if hockey viewing. while maintaining what is definitely the most incredible basketball arena to play in because of the steepness and the pitch of our arena. and this is going to be a loud place to play, and if we're excited about that. liz: okay. correct me if i'm wrong, the seattle kraken was the 32ened team to join the nhl, so you would be the 33rd, and you're already in the top 20 for what -- >> well, we're actually still within the the 323 -- 32nd because that was counting the arizona franchise. liz: oh, okay. got it. >> but, yeah, that's exactly right. line, the people have rallylied. our preseason became game was packed and i think we had merch sales that were second in our history of this building which is pretty crazy. to say people are excited is an understatement. and i think anyone tuning in on

espn tonight going to see that. liz: ryan, you've said that, listen, i am a media company. you are a tech self-made billionaire. you put together a streaming package that was pretty unusual, and i'm just interested to know how you were able to convince the nhl to allow you to do this. it's obviously geofenced. not every state near you, like, nevada can't see it. but idaho can see it, wyoming can see it and utah can see it. you know, tell me exactly how that came together. >> yeah. it started, actually, last year with the nba. you know, my background's in experience management. we focused on experiences with innovation and technology and kind of everything becoming cheaper, faster, better. the experiences are the america oat -- moat you have in business that can stand the test of time. and we were not providing a great experience for people

watching our game. we had 3 million something people in utah, and we were showing it to 1.22, and we said, hey, regardless of the money and the financial situation, our teams are working way too hard to not have their games everywhere. liz: yeah. >> we want someone to be able to watch the games four or phi different ways -- four or five different ways whether it's phone, they're sitting at home in a lazy boy or watching on an ipad. so that rolled out. not only that, we rolled out to idaho and wyoming and the neighboring states. in one year we went from about 1.22 million people to after about 6 million. so when nhl came in, the plumbing was already set to go do that. so the same team who did the nba, we launched seg +. people can.com to the -- come to the games, they can stream both teams right now, and i think that a goes out to about 11 million people. so this is our future.

it's digital. and and we don't have bun fan, we have multiple -- one fan, we have multiple different fans who want to consume different ways. no matter who you are u what --, where you are, you going to be able to get our game. liz: it feels like your tech background helped you engineer if it to the make it work so quickly and so well. ryan, you mentioned merch and how much you sold. the team name, the utah hockey club, isn't necessarily the official team name. it's the name for a year, right? and there are some other names that you all are considering whether it's the yeti, the venom, the outlaws, mammoth, blizzard. [laughter] like the avalanche, very similar to that in colorado. how are you going to do this? are you going to have fans vote? if. >> yeah. so we did, i mean, it's fortunately i come from the background, because we sent it out to the everyone, and we wanted everyone's feedback, and and now we're just working

through the literal trademarking and naming process that goes along with the nhl are. there was no way that we were going to be able to from the very beginning on that first day, you know, everything had already been ordered and processed. we're not going to have even these kits ready for -- liz: wait, can you do me a favor and stand up so our viewers can see that logo? >> oh, yeah, for sure. liz: there it is. utah. can we drop the banner? >> we've e noticed this with the jazz, that we're one of the only teams that have is are their state across because it is about utah. and that was intentional. so the fans have voted, and, you know, we're going through this process now. nothing's going to be ready until next year anyways, and so we're really trying to do it. but this is our color way. liz: okay. >> and it's amazing as i look around ask you see the baby blue and the black and the utah. it's all kind of coming together, and there's a little

bit of overlap with the jazz, and we are truly one family at seg. so it's pretty cool. liz: mr. owner, mr. smith, can i put in a late vote? i like mammoth. the mammoth. >> okay. liz: okay, you know? >> there's a lot of history in with mammoth. i think the largest wooly mammoth -- liz: was found. exactly. i like it. so tonight, 8 p.m. mountain time, 10 p.m. eastern. what is your last thought here on how your business background helped you get to this point where not only you can purchase the team, but get it up to speed and make it happen on time? >> look, i've been fortunate to operate for 22 years in tech, and that's not, that's not fun sometimes because someone's sitting in a basement somewhere with an idea that can kind of wipe you off the face of the earth -- [laughter] because of how fast things move. as crazy as this is in hockey, it's a familiar speed to the world in which we operate in

tech where we're releasing all the time, we're launching. a lot of times it's broken when you first start, and then you it rate and figure it out, and you kind of build it up over time. this hockey club feels like a start-up. and it feels super comfortable to the a lot of people who have been in that environment. and that's, you know, hopefully we've hired right where people have kind of experienced that and loved that, and that's exactly what's happened. and so it's familiar for a lot of people, and it's -- i mean, it's hard not the root for these players and this team. going from uncertainty to where they are today, the barn will be packed tonight. and if it's going to be loud. liz: well, listen, you've got the golden knights that have started off a brilliantly and really have captured a huge fan base. the kraken, so good luck to the utah hockey club, aka, the mammoth. >> all right. [laughter] thanks, liz. appreciate you. liz: ryan, great to have you.

good luck. thank you so much. ryan smith. >> good to see you again. liz: let's talk about hurricane millon. it is charging right now toward florida's gulf coast as a category four storm triggering harried storm preps and massive evacuations along its projected path. the the traffic is horrendous right now as you can see on your screen. we're going to take you live to the sunshine state for a report. and bigger storms could be brewing in the middle east if israel opts to attack iran's nuclear sites. if israeli ambassador to the united nations danny danon is here. we'll ask if it can be done without sparking an all-out war in the region.

cream shop. chairs on their side. the smell of rotting dairy, no joke, that is how it smells as the sand piles they moved to the side. they didn't have enough time, liz, and everyone, to remove all the debris from helene as now milton is spinning up in the gulf of mexico. in fact, it's strengthening once again. and you see the sandbags here. these are not do any -- will not do any good, unfortunately. we are expecting 10-15 feet of storm surge here. think about it, helene brought 5 feet and decimated this entire island. and you see the signs. look, helene, go away. idalia, 13 if months ago a, go away. milton, goaway. shows you the activity and just the hell that this region has gone through with tropical systems moving in. and the debris piles here, liz and everyone, on the side, on top of sand with seashells, people's offices just ripped out, people's homes, the odors. and to think, 1200-125

mile-an-hour wind gusts will come through here late tomorrow night into thursday. that is what milton will bring. it may be the direct landfall right here on bradenton beach. a broom, boy, this looks like something that would be a normal part of life. but when a hurricane like this comes in, it's a missile. it's a projekyll projectile. and that's the issue right now with all of the debris field and the piles. and not only bradenton beach, but other areas along the coastline that were hit so hard a by helene less than two weeks ago. all of the people mostly are off of the beach. we've been speaking to officers today and the national guard. they've got everyone out. people are listening. they're fearful. they're fearful of what happened two weeks ago. and then watching all the coverage in north carolina and that destruction. so we await, 15 feet, by the way, let me leave you with this, liz. 15 feet of storm surge, if, indeed, that happens, 5 feet above the top of this house. total catastrophe awaiting.

liz? liz: robert, you just really crystallized how serious this is. thank you very much. you and the crew stay safe, and i want all our viewers to know that robert and the entire fox weather team are on the case. foxweather.com. make sure you're staying tuned to that, and we really hope the best for everybody. thank you. >> reporter: thanks, liz. liz: to the middle east. iran-backed terror group hezbollah is reportedly pushing for peace at this hour. the group's deputy leader now saying that they back ceasefire attempts with israel, but that did not stop the terrorist organization from firing more than 100 projectiles into the country's northern region earlier today. that's what you're looking at on the screen. and that hit a suburb of haifa. the idf responding just hours later by spike striking beirut. sir is january state media also reports that israel hid -- hit a residential building killing

seven civilians, but now it's all about where israel might strike next. worries are mounting in washington, d.c. over whether israel will met iranian nuclear facilities. joining me now here on set is israeli ambassador to the united nations danny danon. let me get to the breaking news about hezbollah first. hezbollah now saying after year of lobbing rockets at israel in solidarity with the hamas terror group after october 7th where 120 0 civilians were murder, they are selling concern telling me they are backing a ceasefire. >> i don't know whether to believe them or not, but that to's good news because they made the linkage between lebanon and gaza is. basically, no ceasefire with hezbollah if we don't have an agreement with hamas. and i think what we have seen in the last few days, that we retaliated against hezbollah, and hopefully they will realize that we have no intention to stop until they will allow the israelis to come back to the their communities. and you can finish the event

with lebanon if very easily. two things should happen. one, they should stop targeting israel. the second, they should move -- [inaudible] in 2006 the security council adopted a resolution, 1701, which said very clearly hezbollah will not be south of the litani river are. there should be only remember nice if military. once it will happen, we can call it a day. liz: really? so this is a distinct possibility if hezbollah takes those two measures? >> absolutely. if they stop targeting israel and they move their terrorists north of the litani river, then we can go back to the resolution 1701 and move if forward. the problem when they made the linkage with hamas, i think today maybe they acknowledge it was a mistake that a nasrallah made. nasrallah thanks god and thanks to our air force is not with us anymore. maybe now somebody will make the right decisions. liz: is it possible that there could be a ceasefire with hezbollah before there is a ceasefire with hamas? >> absolutely.

i don't think they should make that linkage. we don't see the connection. and you mentioned that they want to show solidarity. while we were counting the bodies on october 8th, they started to target israel to show sympathy with hamas. it was a mistake. the remember nice people are paying the price -- remember nice. hopefully, the remember lebanese government will stop the aggression. liz: the one connecting fiber is iran. iran is backing militarily, emotionally, religiously both hezbollah and hamas. the big fear in washington, d.c. is if the israelis decide to the target the iranian nuclear facilities. what is the plan for that? >> first, we will retaliate. i can tell you that. we will decide when and where, but after a iran sent 200ballistic missiles into civilian population centers in israel, we will not sit idly by and wait for the next time. they will pay a price, and it will happen soon. regarding the nuclear abilities

of iran, i think the world should be worried about it. what are we waiting for, for them to assemble the bomb? to launch it into israel or one of the moderate arab countries? i think the u.s. should be worried not about israel, about the fact that iran is moving forward with their nuclear missions. liz: and sabia should be very concerned too -- saudi arabia. those missiles can easily reach -- >> and they are threatening them. if you follow iran carefully, in the last few days they are threatening the saudis, the emiratis, all the moderate arab countries. i think it will be a better place when iran is not capable of achieving their nuclear firepower. liz: before we go, why aren't those arab countries that are being threatened by iran reaching out to israel? or maybe they are, just in quiet, diplomatic channels. >> well, we have peace treaties, we have strong bond with many arab countries. liz: egypt, jordan. >> i think heard the find the courage to speak up against

iran. they know that iran is a threat for the entire world. we have no conflict with iran, they come against us. they know they will threaten the regime. liz: danny da morning u.n. ambassador for israel, thank you very much. enter thank you, liz. liz: we appreciate it. we are coming right back. stay tuned.

liz: vice president kamala harris making a campaign media a blitz today after taping "60 minutes" last night. she appeared on the howard stern show, "the view," and later she's taping the the stephen colbert show -- >> i don't know how she survived "the view." liz: hey, they can be tough. >> yeah, right. liz: not on her. >> in the on her. "600 minutes" -- 600 minutes but it was i guess informative in the sense that it just really underscores that she does not have policy sort of plans and chops to be able to talk about liz: how so? >> when someone says how do you

pay for something that's $3 trillion. and you say we're going to tax the rich. can't tax them that much. liz: define the rich. >> you want something that that, start the rich with a family of four at $200,000 and takes out middle class of long island, which is why long island is moving heavily into the maga territory these days and i think her plans are -- liz: what does wall street think? >> she's got so much support on wall street from some really high profile people with a lot of money, but if you ask jamie dimon, dollars to doughnuts, explain these plans, you know, they wouldn't be able -- they would -- i guarantee they'd be like i don't know what to make because there's no meat on the bones here other than there's the one thing i keep hearing from leftist scepter people opportunistic wall street she's not donald trump. donald trump, even though wall street did very well, the economy was pretty good, that

somehow they see donald trump and it's like when they hear the name donald trump, it's like a cross in front of a vampire. they're like, ahh. it's something to behold with the trump derangement sin dromoand lefties or liberals i guess on wall street. traditional liberals so it's scary the lack of kemp tail. liz: he said that the bond market could be completely tanked if trump were to push in his tariff plan. i think there's both sides going for them and nice to see either of those able to see them late

how their plan -- >> going to implode with tar tariffs. liz: i'm working to get him on. >> there's a macroeconomic thing here. liz: tax on stuff. >> yeah, inflation goes up and maybe. but then again, that's what he said the last time and it didn't happen and head winds and tariffs that he imposed and i contested buy that. every stool and gloom with trump never came to fruition. liz: charlie, thank you. the s&p 500 lifting from 5600 o 6,000, 5754 and gain of 4.5% ad count down closer ahead of the

game and 6,000 price target on june 10 and infrastructure capitalist jay hatfield. jay, you were here when we talked about how we raised that price target and has anything change and going for then and now and >> going next year and going for them and theoretical motive and going for them to wait for the bond market to validate these higher levels and hour start seems a little too low. liz: are you all in on equities? >> we are and more risky financials and rates and

preferred stocks and going out on the risk curve and going for them and cash. liz: many coming in and saying well, wall street climbed a very, verial wall of worry and so maybe you want to paul back a little bit and master at the top of the show and and liz: all right, markets many the green. that's it for us. next i
