meeting on just this prior monday, actually, we received our semiannual report from hr director karen hillhe public works department. as you may know, public works had never had its own discrete hr department, but now it does. and i must say, miss hill is knocking it out of the park. the vacancy rate actually has been cut in half during her tenure over the past year. plus, as of monday, it was at 15.7, but a large amount of that number is not in the operations staff, but in positions that are held for special projects as capital projects receive bond funding and get funded. that's when those positions are filled. so i did note, in as i watched the video of the meeting, since i was out of the country and couldn't attend it. i am going to follow up with miss hill on breaking out that vacancy rate, that 15.7 into those capital project discrete hiring figures that get filled as needed and into the operations figures. so i appreciate your concern and please be assured that vice chair zoghbi in particular, has taken on the vacancy rates and hr reports to his heart, and we really are holding the

i think it's a mole hill on all of these and to karen's point, as she said, if you squint, these things are right where they were. lilly is the holy grail, seems like the holy grail right now. chipotle, splitting next week. tuesday i believe it is. 50 for 1. you're going to see a little bit. maybe get a better entry level here if you are not included. day of record was the 18th. does anyone think you're not going to see international growth out of chipotle? i don't think so. so is it factored? definitely not. mole hill. costco, renewal rate 90%. mole hill. this is going to be for them -- >> all these fundamentals are great, doesn't mean the stocks are not overvalued, though. >> over valued is speculative on a daily basis. it could be over valued, under valued. nvidia, there were analysts that thought when nvidia was trading at $900, 1350, oh, my gosh so high, that stock would still be cheap. it turned out it still was cheap. are you going to see these pullbacks? yes. nvidia is on the mountain with a mole hill on its feet. >> what. >> conflating. >> mole hill on its feet? go with me here

abc news capitol hill director rick klein, politico playbook co-author, rachael bade, former trump justice department spokesperson and dispatch senior editor, sarah isgur, and karene understand what we've seen here. we saw trump come to capitol hill, talk about unity. we're all 100% on board, but we also saw him at the turning point conference over the weekend. steve bannon warming up the crowd by describing the election as "victory or death." >> well, both things are true at the same time. you've got -- you've got a different messaging for different audiences on different days, and look. we have to get used to that with trump. i think the idea that he will be as disciplined and the party will be as unified as it was on capitol hill this week throughout the election i think flies in the face of everything we've seen from donald trump over the last decade, but i think what we're hearing from people like bannon echoes what donald trump has been talking about, about retribution. >> jonathan: it's been the beating heart of his campaign. >> it is. since the very beginning, jon, as you know and you've covered, this has been the theme unlike any other. kind of an overri

hill. i'm melissa lee, coming to you live from studio b at the nasdaq. on the desk tonight -- tim seymour, karen finerman, \ bonawyn eison, and steve grasso. >>> the s&p has set a record 31 times. that is better than 26% of the time, not bad. but even with those gains, we start with the latest reminder that it's nvidia's world and we're all just living in it. the semi giant jumping 3.5% today, closing at its own all-time high. the stock up 42% since its earnings report less than a month ago. for those not keeping track that's a gain of nearly a trillion dollars in market cap. bigger than all but six members of the s&p 500. one more milestone here. the a.i. darling now the most valuable company in the world, stealing the title away from microsoft today, trailing apple, not far behind. so, is there any stopping this stock? it seems almost folly to try and think of when nvidia is going to stumble, day after day when we see these records being posted. >> i think so. and i think that earnings result, which is now about a month ago, gave you kind of the relief to buy signal. and it gave you the buy si
