Nearly 2,000 americans died of the deadly disease yesterday, the highest death toll since early may. As daily infections now top 100,000 for nine straight days. In fact, yesterday, 143,000 plus. Businesses are faltering so we are going to take you live to chicago, the city that may be the epicenter of the next major lockdown. Meanwhile, reliance on the cloud more important to business than ever before. And we talk to a ceo about how it clears the workfromhome runway of any debris for the biggest businesses in the world. This is a fox business exclusive and they are publicly traded. Baby yoda the hottest new star in disneys Magic Kingdom but will streamings popularity have the power to offset its shuttered parks when it reports earnings after the bell . Our power panel is about to give the mouse house stock an inspection. First, this fox business alert. Even Federal Reserve chairman jay powells measured calm and assurance that the recovery has been faster than expected, not enough to soothe the markets as we now have 59 minutes left before the closing bell rings. He answered questions during a European Central bank forum including one on why the fed has not been successful in Getting Congress to do more with fiscal stimulus. Theres no recovery without confidence that its safe to undertake all activities. And we had our part to do which i think weve done. My sense is that we will need to do more and that congress may need to do more as well on fiscal policy. The actual particulars of that are up to congress and not up to us. Liz you know, we did see regarding that recovery thats been faster than expected, initial jobless claims dropped by 48,000 last week to 709,000. While thats still above the 200,000 level we were seeing before the coronavirus, it is a lot better than what had been expected and that was for i believe to come in at about 743,000 or so. Let me see. 740,000. Yes indeed. I want to bring in our traders. Scott fulman and scott bauer. Do you agree with what powell had to say . We now know it appears the white house has announced its done. Its leaving the stimulus negotiations now to congress so no more Steven Mnuchin of the Treasury Department negotiating in late night calls to nancy pelosi. Hands off now from the president of the United States on stimulus. What do you think . Are we ever going to see something and is the second wave Market Reaction overblown right now . First, i think powell is 1,000 right. The market before the election, the market was waiting, listening to every sound bite out of washington, waiting for news on a stimulus package. Actually, we believe that the market had a priority list of what it was looking at. It was looking at first the coronavirus itself. Then it was looking at the stimulus package. After that, it was trying to judge the economy, where it is now, where its going, going forward. That leads to corporate earnings and the election was last. As we saw this past week, after the election, the market was looking higher but then when the news came out about having an actual vaccine, we saw the markets shoot up. So you could really see in the market, it did prioritize and it was reacting very very strongly, and now congress has to really come through and provide a stimulus package, help people out, help businesses out. Liz scott bauer, markets have been really powering higher in november. The dows up significantly. Were looking at a high single digit jumps on percentages here. Vaccines coming through. This is all positive, obviously. Give me your idea of what you think regarding the stimulus. You had mitch mcconnell, the Senate Leader coming out today and saying no, i dont see a big need for another big package, which is possibly true, although im sure the ten Million People still unemployed which jay powell had referenced think theres a big enough need. We just had sheila bair on the show two days ago. She said we could very well see, again to the cascading effect, some serious underpinnings in the markets when it comes to all kinds of debt problems with the United States citizens. Yeah, i think thats incredibly, incredibly shortsighted. Going back to what you reported just now on jobless claims today, the number was down, thats great, were trending in the right direction. Its still an awful number but trending in the right direction. However, at the end of the year, this sixmonth window that state Unemployment Benefits for people filing claims, thats going to run out. The federal government extends that by 13 weeks. However, most of that or much of that, a good percentage of that, will run out by december 31st. So not only are you going to have the incredible amount of claims that were seeing right now, but that is going to be compounded exponentially by the end of this year. Thats why it is critical, absolutely critical, for congress to get together and get some sort of stimulus package, at least get in the room together or on zoom together. Liz scott, the president says no more, at least the white house and again, this news broke earlier saying were done, were going to leave the covid19 aid negotiations to congress. Mark meadows and steve mnuchin, they are out of the picture. They have been probably, you know, told so no more, right, and now youve got i dont know, maybe thats a good thing, you have the right and left negotiating together but we havent seen any sort of progress on that front. We have not. And maybe it is a good thing that they are removing themselves out of it because now maybe the congressional leaders from both parties can put that aside and say listen, this has to be, this is in the best interest of the american people. This is in the best interest of getting this economy going postcovid which we now all have an optimistic shot in the arm, no pun intended there, that we can see the light at the end of this tunnel, as bleak as that tunnel may be in the short run here. So to just completely discount the fact that theres not going to be any talks, we need to get congress together and get something on the table because this is going to be catastrophic by december 31st if we dont have one. Liz yeah. Lovely to have both of you on a tough day, definitely. Again, many of you out there know that the big names who filed for bankruptcy this year due to the pandemic, talking about jc penney, brooks brothers, golds gym, lord taylor, modell sporting goods, this is all in the past eight months, we know those are huge names, it hurts all those employees, but its the mom and pop shops that dont make the National Headlines that are really crushing local economies when they go bankrupt or belly up or have to simply shutter. Yelps latest Economic Impact report shows just under 98,000 u. S. Businesses closed for good since march 1st. This as our elected officials on capitol hill continue to squabble over the details of any stimulus package. Lets head out to naperville, illinois, where we find grady trimble. Reporter liz, this is one of those businesses that is worried about the possibility of a second stayathome order and that is certainly an idea that the governor of illinois has floated in the past few days. We are outside of chicago right now but in chicago, the mayor Just Announced that starting monday, she will be starting a new stayathome advisory that will be in effect from monday until the next 30 days. Here are some of the things that the mayor is suggesting. Stay home except for essential outings. Stop having guests over, even family. Avoid nonessential travel and cancel your traditional thanksgiving plans. Its unclear if that advisory has any teeth but it will certainly keep a lot of people home and unfortunately, out of businesses like this one. And this comes as coronavirus cases across the midwest are on the rise and thats why a lot of states in the midwest have instituted heightened coronavirus restrictions. Some have put stayathome recommendations in place. And as i mentioned, theres a real concern among Business Owners here in illinois that a second stayathome order could be on the way and thats why we are talking with pam bartlett, the owner of this Group Painting busine business. You had to close earlier this year. You got ppp money then but theres been no help lately. No. Theres not another round of ppp money coming. I dont see anything in the future. And if we shut down, our business is going to go back down to where it was, about 20 of our normal revenue. Reporter businesses are not meant to run at 20 of normal revenue. How long could you sustain that . I could imagine no more than four months. Reporter then at that point you start worrying about rent, electricity . Right. Employees. Everything. We have a lot to worry about here. Reporter we wish you the best of luck. Liz, a lot of these businesses are trying to balance keeping their customers safe but also staying afloat and its something that they are all struggling with right now. They want to stay open and keep their customers safe. They cant afford for their own livelihoods to close. Liz hey, everybody in chicago, get in the car, go down there and keep them around and alive and kicking. We are really hoping for the best with them. Thank you so much. Grady trimble right there. We do need to, since we are talking about Small Businesses, Small Businesses eventually become small cap publicly traded companies. Look at this intraday of the russell 2000 small cap. We are at the lows of the session right now, down 2. 25 at the moment. We do have about 49 minutes left of trade. Russell down 39 points and conversely, we are looking at the vix spiking 15 . Lot of fear in the markets in this final hour of trade. The pandemic forecast is cloudy as covid storms the globe. From small to big companies, fortune 500s rushing back in march to put their operations in the cloud as they sent employees to work from home for safety purposes. The company they are all rushing to pay to keep the technical skies clear. We will show you the stock and what its done. Closing bell and we will speak to the ceo ringing in 48 minutes. The claman countdown is coming right back. Im norm. Im szasz. [norm] and we live in columbia, missouri. We do consulting, but we also write.

Com promo liz we are just getting this breaking news. President trump has just signed an executive order that will prohibit americans from investing in either directly or through funds some Chinese Companies that according to the Trump Administration support chinas military. Now, there are 31 companies that have been identified as helping the Peoples Liberation army. They include staterun aerospace construction, Ship Building Companies but the executive order, is this correct, they do not list any specific Company Names . We are looking at the executive order. Again, no specific names. We are going to try and dig up an etf of some chinese stocks. We already checked some of the chinese tech stocks like jd. Com, baba. They are kind of mixed at the moment. Some are even moving a lot higher. They are not apparently involved here. Communist Chinese Military companies that help them, well be watching this at the moment. You can see alibaba is down, jd is up. Weve got some other once, baidu moving higher as well. The ceo of redshot insurance disruptor lemonaid was on fox today. Its really a question of having the whole thing done through Artificial Intelligence and bots. It takes 90 seconds, the median time to get a policy is a minute and a half. Lining up in starbucks to get a coffee takes twice as long on average and its not just how you buy the policy, its also how you get served afterwards. When you make a claim, you chat to a bot as well on your phone. About a third of our claims are settled within three seconds algorithmically. Liz that ceo describing the ai, Artificial Intelligence methods the company uses to deal with their hundreds of thousands of online customers. The site no doubt heavily dependent on its cloud operations running flawlessly. Gigantic companies from dish to kroger, s. A. P. , carnival cruises, they have the same needs as they have all moved operations on to the cloud so they are turning to dynatrace, a Software Firm that ensures that servers around the world on which those companies store data run smoothly by keeping the digital wheels greased and the bolts tightened. The ceo is the cloud master and joins us in a fox business exclusive. John, keeping things moving smoothly but when they dont, you guys pounce and swoop in, correct . Tell us exactly what the company does, because again, this is a publicly traded name that has done very well over the past year. Sure. So the focus that we have is as you point out, for the top 15,000 companies on the planet, they are all turning into software companies. Applications drive their business. As they interface with all of us and provide services, whether they are heightened during the pandemic or not, and what we do is we light up those applications, how they work in the cloud, and we enable their organizations to be proactive, solve issues, identify bottlenecks and make sure the services that they provide to us run flawlessly and if there are issues, they are fixed before we ever see impact. Liz nice. Quest diagnostics, i know this as a customer. Obviously as a lab they are l critically important to this country at the moment. I saw a picture, the line at dodgers stadium, the car line for people to get tested, it had to be several miles long. Clearly, that information has to be put up in the cloud. Give us a scenario, if you could, explain to us where dynatrace would move in when they saw something that looked a little squirrely to make sure the cloud remains constant and smooth. Well, we use a series of technologies and algorithms behind the scenes, automation and ai as well, to identify degradations and anomalies that are happening before businesses or applications or services are impacted. What that allows the teams behind the scenes to do is to swoop in when they see issues, and as i said, resolve them quickly. The biggest battle in software isnt figuring out how to fix something. Its identifying the very precise root cause where something is going wrong. In a scenario whether its a quest diagnostics, whether its streaming media to your home, whether its home banking, any of those, software is extremely complex behind the scenes,s i everchanging, changing pretty much every minute, so these technologists need weapons like dynatrace that automatically, efficiently and very quickly pinpoint those issues so that they can react. Liz i see you guys almost as mine sweepers looking for the problems before they actually explode on a company. We do have a situation where the covid cases are spiking in a horribly dramatic way at this very moment. You have states all across the nation trying to figure out what to do next. That Means Companies are probably assessing do we need to send people back home if we have already brought them back. Can you talk about how you keep up with the hybrid multicloud architecture that is now out there, because things are moving in realtime and its pretty quick. Well, youre right. We actually service a number of state governments now in their health and Employment Services areas, ever since the pandemic. These areas citizen portals have exploded with traffic. A lot of it mobile traffic, with people trying to get information, people trying to understand employment situations and the rest. So we have been quite active in that area. As you pointed out, health care, same kind of thing. Very active in that area. As the health care providers, insurance companies, and those working on vaccines are trying to quickly move sort of through processes. All of these things run on software. As i said before, that software is getting more and more complex as it scales, as it moves into these cloud environments, and to light them up and make sure those who run them are on their toes, you know, it makes a big difference whether its for a variety of areas including some of these pandemic hit areas. Liz yeah. Its a Fascinating Development and you are a disrupter and we love those disrupters on our show. Thank you so much for joining us. The company is dynatrace. John, good luck to you and the team. We wanted to give you an update on what we told you before our interview with john on President Trumps latest executive order just now hitting the tape. Two of the 31 Chinese Companies that americans are now barred from investing in due to this executive order, they do have u. S. Tickers. Talking about china mobile, chl, you can see china mobiles dropping about 3. 6 . And china telecom, cha, that stock dropping 5 . We are digging up more information. Im finding etfs that do invest in the Chinese Military industry. We will try and get those for you as well. At the moment, the president issuing an executive order preventing americans from investing in companies that support the peoples republic when it comes to the military. The worlds most famous arena lies dormant since rage against the machine played Madison Square garden in august. But concerts could one day return with a twist. We are learning this now. When they do, what ticketmaster will demand from you before they will
