still owns the stock. nvidia is on track for its highest close on record. the superis nova op of -- supernova of all tech stocks and all stocks is trading right now at $138.56. the record to beat? $135.58. that was the close back around june 18th after the a.i. chipmaker's 10 for 1 stock split. any gain for the dow or s&p marks a new all-time high, and both indices are well beyond that. dow very close to the session high of 247, s&p is climbing 46 points. that's good for about lee will have gaters -- three-quarters of a percent. nasdaq jumping 168 points and the russell is up 10 -- 111. tech and crypto have jumped out ahead of the pack and are really leading this rally. look at this gain, we've got that one moving higherly nearly

7% and has now crossed the billion dollars in asset mark. while the invesco galaxy bitcoin etf is at 4.25%. and semissing they are looking very -- semis, they are looking very firm thanks to nvidia and arm. qualcomm jumping as a well, i believe it is at the top of the s&p 500. it was a, second ago. i'm going to check just to be sure. it's in the number two position, up more than 4%: so with tech continuing to muscle its way to the head of the pack, what's keep eking the tech fires burning with palantir glowing up as well? >> coming up, venture capitalist and palantir cofounder or joe lonsdale is here in a fox business exclusive on what could stoke or douse the the blazing hot run, and he is a full-blown trump support per. we're going to talk to him about that and where the rest of silicon valley is standing on not so firm grand underneath their feet. let's take it to the dow heat

map a because we've got notable stocks making records. mcdonald's at 310 a share, up 11.6 president -- 1.6%, it is well above its current record close of $307. last thursday, kind of not great news, the ceo told a business group that the company faces another, quote, challenging year. let's pivot to ibm which is in the second row to the right, right ahead of goldman sachs. by the way, both ibm rain goldman sachs at records. big blue touching ab intraday high, goldman sachs as well, up just under 1%. apple's right up there with the winners with a decent gain of 1.6%. ever corp. pounding the table on apple. so what is not working today? caterpillar and boeing. go right to the bottom, and you can see they are at that bottom there. investors are selling caterpillar because morgan stanley basically told them to. the bears are tearing at the heavy machinery maker after

morgan stanley downgraded the stocker analysts worried cat has reached peak earnings. and after a 3 33% runup, shares could be ready to take a breather. cat is down 22%. and the bad -- 2%. boeing is down $8.35 or more than 22 if after the embattled air are prospace giant said it's going to cut 17,000 jobs. that equals 10 percent of its work force, further delay the launch of the 777x, and they issued a profit warning as the machinist strike drags on. bond market's closed percent if holiday, but with stocks raring to go, so is the floor show and john corpina from the floor of the new york stock exchange and kenny polcari. john, normally this federal holiday would be a snoozer for the markets. volume might be thin, but the bulls are wide awake. what's got them running? >> hey, or liz. yeah, that's exactly it. we've got a quiet market with not a lot of participation, not a lot of volume. that's going to add to the a big

influx in volatility in our markets. this could have gone either way today to. overall sentiment has been as we've seen, the market trending higher and higher, but this move is certainly magnified than a normal session. but backing up, sentiment is here in this market. we continue to trade higher. i think people, investors are feeling comfortable. not if fully putting more money into the market, but allowing their portfolios to to continue to grow and not being forced to do anything. you add in the fact that we're still in this uncertain area with the fed and what heir going to do next, uncertainty in u.s. presidential election, so pretty much if everything is on cruise control right now. you're kind of forced into doing nothing. but as we see these markets move higher and higher, i think we're going to get a little bit more volatility as we get towards this election, we get past that and towards the end of the year because there's a lot of unknown out there. and just add the geopolitical risks, the headlines over the weekend, china-taiwan, these things and will have an impact on our market.

it's not resonating just yet. liz: kenny, doesn't that make the case for u.s. equities? you've got christopher waller, he is, of course, the vice chaie governor and a voting member. he's just making headlines right now saying the economy is on solid is footing at least here in the united states. , and all the drama that john just articulated globally are, expect gdp to grow faster in the second half of 2024. so do you just stay home with american stocks? >> listen, i think you stay home, right in there's always the case to the reach out, having some international exposure across europe, right, having some international exposure in the emerging markets. i wouldn't -- i keep it very small, you know, 2-3% of the total portfolio in emerging markets. but in europe, you know, there's always a reason to be there as long as you're sticking with the big names. but to to your point, there's nothing wrong here at home. the economy is going along fine. the labor market is not imploding. it's going to be the interesting

though when bond yields hit 4.16 which is a long-term trend line resistance, what happens if we push up through there. today we don't know because the bond market's closed, but let's see what happens in the next couple of days. where's that level going to be that's going to to cause investors to just take a breather and say, okay, bond yields have moved up, let me get a little bit more cautious. liz: yeah. you know, the 10-year had closed at 4.096, so just to give people a sense of exactly what you're talking about. john, when we look at earnings, i mean, bank earnings on friday, they really lit the fuse. jpmorgan, wells fargo came out with banger numbers. i believe wells fargo is adding to the gains it saw on friday. we've got a lot more big financial names that are going on the reporting -- to be reporting starting tomorrow and the rest of this week. form bank of america, goldman sachs, citi, pnc. very crowded. schwab's in there. do you look at the financials

whiched today aren't going gang buster, but do you like at -- look at hose and say, bio -- boy, the rest of them are going to to look pretty as well? >> yeah, i think they are a good indicator of what's going on out there in the financial sec to for in this new interest rate environment we're in. what i think we need to look forward to is m&a activity, which is a huge moneymaker for these investment banks,, has been very quiet. we go back two, three years about all these smaller incubus companies that are waiting to to come public and waiting for the right time. from a markets perspective, it's probably the right time the way the market has been performing. in an overall kind of global perspective, not the right time, right? we don't know what's going to to happen with the election, these other headwinds that's there. so i think in the beginning of 2025 the we're going to the start seeing m&a activity the pick up, and that's certainly going to help the financial sector. liz: okay. so we don't know on any given day what's going to the happen whether it's with the markets or

our own lives but, kenny, what are you picking up right now? today is not the day to be buying because we are looking at all-time records. >> right. liz: what do you -- where are you really eager to dip in and scoop is up some hinges once they come down a -- some things once they come down a little bit? >> look at names in the sectors that have been underperforming. so consumer discretionary's only up 9%. it's well below where the market is. i'm certainly not chasing tech. i continue to like even though the utilities are up about a 25% in a year, i continue to like utilities because of the story. rates going down, utilities starts are always a good buy. but the command for electricity and energy is only -- demand -- is only going to skyrocket as a.i. takes more and more control. utilities a great place, i'd be looking at, like i said, i'd be looking at health care, basic materials, consumer discretionary. liz: not energy. i mean, again, we're looking at oil right now. i've to got to point this out, oil is down 2.25%.

west texas intermediate. and, of course, opec is cutting the global oil demand forecast for the third consecutive month. guys, great to have you. so much action on this holiday here, but the stock market, as we mentioned, open. bond market closed. we have so much more ahead, particularly this: the world's largest set of chopsticks grabs quite a morsel. spacex's so-called chop stick arm successfully catch its starship booster gently. i mean, look at this -- [cheers and applause] gently hugging it right back down to the launch pad. ceo elon musk in doubt reveling in the success of this he is or thetic technical feat. but on the other hand, what about new reports that all was not maybe what it seemed when it comes to musk's optimus robots unveiled with great fanfare last week? we'll tell you about that. and we'll talk about the musk-founded america pact with palantir cofounder joe lonsdale. with 21 days until the election,

cracker. that that's right on clearwater beach. but, you know, we had a lot of damage. no structural damage, but we had 4 feet of water in any restaurants that the weren't elevated. salt rock grill happens to be about 10 feet above sea level, so does the hideaway grill. so the three restaurants that got wipe with the out because of flood and my seafood company got wiped out because it's ground level, right on the water, direct seafoods. but salt cracker, cool cookie, which is a cookie and ice cream place, and then actually four restaurants got wiped out because of water, round about a pizza and -- [inaudible] so those four restaurants won't be open for a while. we actually turned one of them into a disaster relief place where we had soap, chemicals, wash machines, dryers to help the community. and, by the way, sorry, cracking

momentum in tech. you haven't seen a republican do this well in the tech world ever, since, you know, the original bubble started 30 years ago and all the internet wave. and there's a lot of good reasons why. people in the tech world have seen how they ruined san francisco, how they ruined california. they've seen how they're coming after all of our companies irrationally. you have one side represents merit and confidence, people we admire like j.d. vance, clearly a are bright, very competent person and the other side it's dei and harassment. so, listen, ben horowitz is a great guy. if you have a giant firm, or it's probably smart to have one guy on each side to mistake sure you have access, and i think his wife's a really cool person. she's noun kamala -- known kamala, i think it's smart to hedge their bets. but in terms of momentum behind trump in the tech cold -- world, it's amazing what you're seeing. we've never seen anything like this. liz: i think you're right. it could be just business, covering the bases. that would make sense.

but coming out initially all for trump was an interesting point that i think a lot of people looked at and said, wow, things are changing in silicon valley. you talk about specifically how -- and so does ben horowitz, about how he has felt that the biden administration has been constructive to what he likes to call the little tech agenda which they're very focused on. that's very much their doctrine about anything that helps tech start-ups. not necessarily the big guys. how do you feel about the past four years and tech start-ups? if. >> i mean, listen, america in general is the best in the world at what we do in the start-up land. a lot of things are going really well. you've seen this administration interfere thing and slowing things down like crazy. i think the worst of it all is lina khan. i think people have watched her prevent small companies from being bought. totally insane. or you had, you know, someone close to me on the family side who one of their children had a

genetic disease and there was a really promising company that was working to cure that disease and a big biotech the company wanted to buy it and study the it, and she blocked it because she thought they would have too much power in that spis, and ultimately that delayed it further. it's going to be really bad for hundreds of children. basically killed grail, effectively killed tens of thousands of people that didn't get cancer screenings. this is just totally insane. these people are anti-business,anti-innovation. you have elon on one side who's going to step in and help trump make this amazing, and you have the other side these people who are not connected to our world and, frankly, are against us. it's an easy choice. liz: you're the can cofounder of palantir, and we have watched this stock incredibly closely, and all we see over and over again in the past year is record high after record high. this is a company that does -- that the aggregates data for all kinds of businesses. it's really expanded. it has done a lot of work for the u.s. government.

as it continues another so well -- it's no longer a start-up, it's been in business for several years -- it's a little curious hoe to say that the current administration has been very negative toward tech. you know, i think the current administration could do things to destroy companies, to harass a them, the stop them, and yet you could still have amazing companies performing really well and growing quickly. palantir worked really hard for a long time on helping organize information for companies, helping get in and build the infrastructure. and it turns out that the on col and the other technology -- makes enabling a.i. work really well. so i think the biggest source of growth the last four years is actually in the u.s. enabling fortune 2000 companies to deploy a.i. much better than anything else. that's been hugely powerful thing going on in the world right now, and palantir's still acing that. i think they're a.i., they're in defense, they're in the middle of the hot area. they're crushing it.

liz: we opened with the nbc poll the deadlocked between kamala harris and donald trump. what is going to move the needle between now and election night in 221 days? >> you know -- 221 days. i think you see a lot of momentum right now for donald trump. i think kamala came out today, she plagiarized her book. j.d. vance was pretty funny, he actually wrote his. maybe you can't blame her, it was probably her ghost writer, she obviously doesn't know how to write a book. it's just embarrassing. it's just again and again things come out against her. all these corrupt ngo tos, we're seeing, i think today her desperate ploy, bribing blacks, if you start a business, you get free money. it's obviously illegal. we're seeing again and again she flew in millions of people illegally into swing states. it's just obviously corrupt and broken. i think she's flailing, and the more she speaks, the more people don't like her. i think trump's really, really

doing well, and i think the more we have people like elon and some of my other friends whoever going to step the up and show the best builders in this country are going to make things work, it's an ease i choice for all of my friends. liz: it's not an easy choice for the country, ever since both conventions, it's been a dead heat. speak of broken, the middle east is broken. we have rockets flying from hezbollah in lebanon right now over to israel. i heard you talking in the commercial break to friends who are in bomb shelters right now in israel. it's a or horrific situation all around. if governments can't get a solution, let me ask you, joe, if you put a bunch of silicon valley and austin -- because that's where you are -- venture capitalists and super smart tech people in a room, what would solve this seemingly intransigent and intractable problem in the middle east between israel and, you know, what's going on?

>> yeah, liz, you know, when we build these technologies and companies in defense and these areas, we partner with governments, obviously. we're not allowed to go over there and clean up business ourself. when israel went into lebanon, which had been protected supposedly by the u.n. since 2006, they found ammunition, jeeps, tanks all over, tunnels, all over, right on the border, right on all the a houses right next to the u.n. ready for a major invasion. and the only way we're going to solve this is say where'd this all come from? it came from iran. iran is supporting terror es in lebanon, in gaza, they're supporting houthis. you have to cut off the a head of the snake. we need supplies, defensive superior technology and enable israel to to go in, and the persian people are actually on our side. a lot of persian people love israel, love america. they're conquered by crazy dictators, and they've been under their control for over 40 years.

it's a really clear answer, we've got to be bold and get rid of the bad guys who are funding the terrorists, and and we've got to support israel to do that. and i think it's a pretty easy thing to do with the right leadership, frankly. liz: joe lonsdale, thank you very much for coming on. great to have you. >> thank you. liz: this wednesday you do not want to miss a fox news exclusive on "special report" with brett bret baier. -- bret baier. he have been interviewing vice president kamala harris in pennsylvania at 6 p.m. eastern. bret's got it, don't miss it. retail crime may be one of the topics during that interview. you just heard joe talking about san francisco and all the crime there. just haas week a group of teens ransacked a 7/eleven store located on the hollywood walk of fame in los angeles. now californians are set to vote on a ballot measure that would are result many longer sentences for theft. we've got a live report on that next from california. don't move. ♪ ♪

deck to reveal the third quarter earnings before the opening bell tomorrow. ahead of this, the stock is upright now. our count down closer is banking on them to do well and ceo and cio gases scako. goldman, one minute solomon was embattled and doing incredibly well and a a real success story. >> liz, next year when we're looking at where the economy is going, we'll need more capital and goldman has access to get to the markets and be able to provide that capital and help for growth and in a pro growth

economy. liz: if that's the case and economy is horrible right now, can't possibly see it like that. do you? they're telling you the republican is ahead and lina khan is out and more less regulatory focused area and joe lonsdale was talking about a little while ago. that will probably pull back and we don't look at that all the time and adding cost and incrementally slowing things down and more consolidation in industries and actually it'll improve productsivity moving forward. what will it do and not get crazy with valuations?

>> looking back two weeks and the republicans take off in the betting markets and that's when the market starts to become more proa procyclical and we have more room to run on that. that's pointing to the fact that we think that you're going to get a change in the white house. we think the construction should do very well and there's a lot of money in the system and building out major things whether it's chip plants we're looking at in canada and lng fade pattern 'til seizure facilities in peru and copper mines and major players if you're looking for a large construction project. >> there's a new management team in for kit pillar and not -- caterpillar and not really covered but it's under the radar and large and kind of revamped
