Internet stocks popping higher, even with netflix in the mix. The at the david at same time when the equity markets do not give us a clear picture, we look at things like debt, the 10 year yield on u. S. Government debt, and also the dollar. Is there some thought that stimulus may, in is that affecting the dollar and debt . Theail absolutely, that is bigger driver on the day. When we take a look at the 10 year yield bond, we have bonds lower, that tells us yields are climbing higher. We have the 10 year yield starting to pop out of the middle of a range. Should that continue, and it seems likely to press up closer to 1 , and of course that is coming on the narrative stimulus is around the corner at some point. Then the idea you will have yields continuing to climb. At what point does that spook investors for a variety of reasons . Earlier today it is 1. 5 . In june when the 10 year yield 1 ,allowed was around that is when stocks could be wobbly, selected be what we are seeing today on the possibility stimulus is around the corner. Weve been hearing that for many weeks and months. We believe it when we see it. David we keep talking about it here on balance of power. We continue our swing state series, looking at pennsylvania. We welcome congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan, from the sixth Congressional District west of philadelphia. She represents that district. Lets start with your district and its relationship, if any, to the stimulus we keep hearing about. How important is it to your constituents . Rep. Houlahan i think it is remarkably important to our constituents. I am just west of the city of philadelphia and we are not dissimilar from the rest of the commonwealth and the country and that weve been struggling under the weight of covid come in proverbial saying is true winter is coming. Our community is very concerned and very much needs our government to get along and respond with another round of stimulus now. Guy we talk david we talked to nancy pelosi, and she was surprisingly positive. It is not done yet, but she was quite hopeful. Are you . Hopefullahan i am also of the indications and signals i see out of washington through both leadership of the house and the senate and the administration. Certainly we have a lot of time left before the weekend, which seems to be the next deadline. I am very hopeful that cooler heads will prevail and we will get to an agreement. David one of the things we have heard from people in pennsylvania is how important the suburbs are, in particular around philadelphia. You are west of philadelphia. You have some of the suburbs. Four years ago they helped President Trump eke out a victory in pennsylvania. Rep. Houlahan exactly. Women, white women in particular did vote for President Trump our area. Now it is looking like in our area and other parts of the country that voting block, as well as all women, are swinging towards joe biden. That i believe is largely because we are exhausted. We have had four years of been erratic presidency and we have gotten as a result we are hunkered down in our homes with covid. Primarily women have been energized since 2016 and it to remain energized throughout the last four years and we continue to be participating in the democracy, and i am hopeful in another 13 days we will have a different result in a different administration. David i am sure there is a range of issues that drives people. Lets pick up on one you just identified. How the covid19 crisis has been handled. What is the consensus in your district about how President Trump has handled it and how i President Biden might differ . Rep. Houlahan our area is a pretty sophisticated voter. We are very well educated and fairly wellinformed and we believe in science, and this administration has not led by that and has not led with the science. We need to be addressing this disease. That is the first line of attack , because none of us will feel safe going back into our schools or businesses or being customers until that. That hasbeen something been absent from this administration, and i very much believe a Joe Biden Administration will lead from that first, following the science and making sure we have a National Testing strategy and the National Response plan to this disease, so the other things like covid stimulus are not as necessary. David President Trump became president largely on an economic message, we will have growth, we will add jobs. The economy was doing well for the first three years of his administration. He now says that is the only thing that threw him off. Did your constituents feel the economy was doing well before the pandemic hit . Rep. Houlahan largely our community was doing well superficial sleigh. We had a very low unemployment rate, but that, as you can see with the covid response, was just superficial. Many of us did not have deep savings. Many of us did not have savings in the stock market. Although we were well employed, we were not necessarily secure. I think one of the most important things government can do in this administration can do is take care of citizenry. A strongt caveat economy by saying except for the pandemic that killed us all. That is the narrative this president is trying to get us to buy into. David part of the narrative is i did it once, i can do it again. Are people in your district, did they tend to accept that, do they trust President Trump more than vice President Biden with the economy . Rep. Houlahan i do not believe so. I believe the data says our community is split equally on the issue of the economy. Certainly we had to put our trust in this administration, and although they delivered an economy that was useful for some , it was not as we mentioned useful for everyone. Some of this administration has not done anything on living wage or raising the minimum wage or equal pay for equal work, or any of those kinds of things that will allow all of us to be successful in the economy and not just the most successful among us. David i want to ask you about the military because you serve on the House Armed Forces committee. Theres been some backandforth about what President Trumps relationship is with the military. Some say he has problems with the top but not the rankandfile. Part of your oversight is the military. What is your impression . Rep. Houlahan i am also a veteran and my dad and my grandfather served for careers in the military. I have several activeduty cousins. Categorize all activeduty members or veterans, but i can say the joe biden platform, the joe biden approach is much more aligned with how i and my family perceive the role of the military and our leadership, which is to be gashed to put country over party, to put country over self, and i believe this administration and this leader, does not domp that. He has maligned goldstar families. He has called us foolish and stupid for having served. He did not serve. That is not the example we would like to see in our leadership. The democratic platform is also something that talks about putting country over self and leaving no man behind, and this is certainly where we need to be right now, particularly in this pandemic situation. David very helpful. Really appreciate your time. That is congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan, democrat of pennsylvania. Make sure to stay with bloomberg for our full coverage of the final president ial debate. That will start tomorrow night at 8 30 eastern. Nato defense ministers are meeting this week and we go over the agenda with the u. S. Ambassador to nato, Kay Bailey Hutchinson. Power onalance of Bloomberg Television and radio. David this is balance of power on Bloomberg Television and radio. We turned to Mark Crumpton for bloomberg first word news. Mark the u. K. Has agreed to restart brexit trade talks with the european union. The first phase of negotiations will take place in london beginning tomorrow. The two sides are reportedly hoping to reach a deal by the middle of november. The white house wants a deal on a coronavirus package without Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the next 48 hours. As david and Chrissy Houlahan were discussing, mark meadows told foxbusiness the last 24 hours have moved the ball down the field, but even if there is an agreement there is no guarantee Mitch Mcconnell will bring into a vote on the floor. Ofan, the Financial Capital italy, will be under nighttime curfew beginning tomorrow. Prime minister Giuseppe Conte is also considering new nationwide measures to contain the renewed spread of covid19. New curbs being considered include closing gyms and swimming polls, limiting Weekend Hours for shopping centers, and shifting more schools to remote learning. Is endorsing samesex civil unions for the first time. His comments came as the pope was being interviewed for the featurelength documentary francesco, which premiered at the rome Film Festival today. During the interview, francis said there needs to be a Civil Union Law also samesex couples are legally covered. The pontiff had endorsed samesex civil unions when he was the archbishop of when is aries, but this is his first time publicly supporting them as pope. Global news 24 hours a day, on air and on quicktake by bloomberg, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. I am mark. This is bloomberg. David . David nato defense ministers begin their fall meeting tomorrow, but this time it will be virtual instead of taking place physically in brussels. For a preview of what is to be discussed, we welcome the u. S. Ambassador tomato, Kay Bailey Hutchinson curated the u. S. Ambassador to nato, Kay Bailey Hutchinson. What is your agenda and you can bet the pandemic will be on the agenda . Amb. Hutchison definitely. That is what everyone is dealing with in europe as well as the United States. Nato came up with a plan. The defense minister in june put in place so we would have help for allies if there was a second wave. Unfortunately, we are seeing the second wave right now. We are beginning to disperse to some of these countries that have an uptick, and that is most of the countries in europe, and just for instance, the u. S. Put 200 ventilators into our stockpiles as part of our nato plan, and those ventilators are now being distributed to albania, montenegro, and north macedonia. We have a trust fund that is tellg forward as well to where countries do not have some of the supplies, and we have transportation capabilities coordinated through nato. We are working together as asies in this covid19, just we do in our security umbrella in times of stress and need. This point, is it affecting nato readiness at all . Amb. Hutchison it is not. We have put readiness and security right at the top of our priority list, and we have said we do not want a Health Crisis to turn into a security crisis. Our adversaries are not letting down, and neither are we. We are keeping our forces ready, we are keeping them rotating in europe just as they have been, and we are training, we are doing our mission in afghanistan and iraq, and we are not letting up one bit. David i am glad you raised that , because some of us lose track of it. What is the nato role in afghanistan and iraq right now . Amb. Hutchison let me say, in afghanistan, this is in response to our 9 11 attack. Nato, for the first and only time, has invoked article five, which says if one of us is attacked, we are all attacked. Our nato allies are with us in afghanistan to keep terrorism from building up and being exported to our countries ever again. There, we are supporting the Afghan People who are now meeting with the taliban to try to come to terms for a Peace Agreement that would make a stable government in afghanistan, that would be supported by the people, that would protect the human rights and the rights of women, that would be able to settle afghanistan and assure terrorist groups cannot build again, and that is the nato mission along with the United States right now in afghanistan. We are supporting the afghan Peace Process in the hopes that at some point we will be able to leave afghanistan and they will be able to fully function on their own. As you talk about the response to the pandemic operations, all of this costs money. Tells about the budget for nato and the contributions of the various parties. That has been a hot issue in the United States and nato for a wild. For a while. Amb. Hutchison all of us are trying to hold up the commitment we have made to spent 2 of our Gross Domestic Product on defense. 10 of our countries have stepped up and are meeting the 2 goal, and we are going in the right direction to increase that as we move forward. We cannot be a legitimate deterrent alliance for any adversary that might think they can attack or take over sovereign territory or any of our allies. Security,nding up for not to let down on defense spending because we do not want to let our adversaries think we are lessening our resolve on the defense and security side. Our Defense Budgets are continuing to increase because let me make a second point about that. We are holding our defenses for deterrent capabilities. The other thing we are doing in defense spending it has been so helpful in this covid crisis, it is the military management that has come to the fore to help in this domestic crisis. The military training, setting up hospitals, delivering goods, setting up capabilities for help for the medical community that is fighting so hard to beat this virus and all the people who are affected, our military spending has been an asset for our domestic needs. We are continuing to push our allies to increase the spending on defense and that is also being used for our joint efforts to help our allies that are suffering from a second wave of covid. David as the nato defense ministers meet, there is a hotspot. Not in nato but adjoining it. I wonder how that will be addressed at this meeting. You have the conflict between azerbaijan and armenia that turkey has become involved in. Nato conflicts within between france and turkey the president of armenia is asking to address the nato defense ministers. How will you address that sensitive issue . Amb. Hutchison it is sensitive, just as you said. Get involved in other conflicts or draw hasntion with other allies certainly become something we have tried to avoid. I will say in the situation between armenia and azerbaijan, it has been very difficult because they are both partners of nato. As you know we have 30 allies, but we have 40 partners that speak with one voice with us for security measures. Azerbaijan ared partners with nato. We do not want to take sides. We are urging both sides to have thease fire and to go to minsk group to settle the underlying issues. The reason the fight is happening is because of a 30 year dispute about the borders of azerbaijan, within which is a very large armenian population. War happened after the cold and the breakup of the soviet drawn,and the lines were and it has been a simmering conflict for a long time. If we can settle the issues of sovereign rights and dealing with this very large armenian population within azerbaijans territory, that is what will settle these tensions. What we are trying to do at nato is say this conflict cannot be settled with conflict like war, or arms, or killing people. It is going to have to be settled with the minsk group. The minsk group is cochaired by the u. S. , russia, and france. We are calling on both armenia and azerbaijan to come to the table and top with these three cochairs or add new cochairs if they want. Anything they can agree on that they would then accept an arbitration with is what we are asking them to do. You so very much. Great to talk with you. That is ambassador Kay Bailey Hutchinson, u. S. Ambassador to nato. Still ahead, the hummer is back. This time it all electric. We hear from gm president mark royce. This is bloomberg. David this is balance of power on Bloomberg Radio and television. Nancy pelosi is appearing on msnbc and she said she is happy with the prospect for relief tops. We talk to the speaker yesterday and she was hopeful, and it sounds like nothing has dimmed that hope. It may be getting better. Shortly we will talk about the Deputy Press Secretary from the white house to get the tape from the white house. Overnight gm unveiled what many had been waiting for, and allnew, all electric version of the hummer designed for offroad and on road use, and with the acceleration that wouldve been impossible in a combustion engine. We talked with gm president mark royce about where this will fit in the marketplace. Mark gmc is the only premium truck brand. Most of our competitors are brand extensions. Hummer gmc and we have in a premium channel for trucks. That is a very distinguishable piece of what we are doing with both brands. At4 and the at4x. Then you have the hummer model which is the ultimate offroad piece. Very carefully designed and executed, but different attributes, different designs, and different go to market strategy. David lets talk about competitors in the ev space. You have forward with an f150 ev. You have tesla with their pickup truck. How does this compare . Are they direct competitors or are you going for a different market . Mark i think it is like nothing else. This truck is very different from what our competitors have described, most recently with truck,light duty pickup and quite a few months back with what the other electric only competitor is doing with their truck. Thoseot know until we see come into the marketplace what those trucks are, but i can tell you what this is, and this is like nothing else. David talk about a sister truck, the badger from nicola. Gm announced a large arrangement with nicola. A lot of controversy. Is the badger Going Forward . Mark we will not sell and market that truck. That is what nicola is doing. The big difference is that truck will have a fuelcell. It is still a fuelcell electric truck, but quite different than what we are watching with our impacts on Pure Electric commerce. Very different. David as far as you know the badger and the nicola deal is Going Forward . Mark right now we are Going Forward. They are taking what is the best fuelcell in the world with our fuelcell made on our joint venture in honda in michigan and taking the fuelcell and looking at the point in the heavy duty transport market with the large trucks, the class seven and class eight, and the lack the light duty badger truck you mentioned. David put this into the larger context of General Motors and its move into electric vehicles. Youve the data likely right now you have the hummer ev. As i understand there is a bold ev coming out as well. How does this fit into the portfolio youre developing and what comes next . Mark if you look at the way we have designed the platforms, both on the truck platform and our battery electric truck platform and are battery electric vehicle platform. Those two dedicated platforms are quite different, and the approach is quite different than many others that are introducing electric vehicles. The reason i say that is because we are deploying our modular cap, our old Battery Source out of our plant in ohio. That is designed and executed to be highvolume, and the reason why that is important for the customer and for the market is because scale and chemistry, we have a chemistry developing lab for the packs at our tech center in warren, michigan, that Quick Development of chemistry and deploying that chemistry into our packs is the secret to driving that cost down so we can offer not only hummers and suvs and beyond to the mass market and our other highert do hire markets like trucks and crossovers. This goes into the electric motors that we are doing ourselves. David that was g. M. President on the new hummer. Mark the u. K. Is taking more steps to fight the coronavirus. Areasjohnson extended the to fall under the tightest restrictions. Focused on local restrictions as opposed to a national lockdown. We all, but particularly undertier three restrictions must band together. Mark the restrictions, day after the Prime Minister imposed similar restrictions on Greater Manchester following the breakdown of talks with local lawmakers. Creation of ae committee to investigate the misuse of covid19 spending. A backlashld face from canadians suffering a second wave. Avid19 has taken welldocumented toll on the education of americas children but also poses a threat to their nutrition. The government helps feed almost 30 Million Students a day or one in two. Covid19, the government is contributing less than half. Food banks around the country report soaring demand. Global news 24 hours a day, on air and at bloomberg quicktake, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. I am Mark Crumpton. This is bloomberg. David staying on the subject of covid19, breaking news, new york state reporting over 2000 new covid19 cases for the First Time Since may. Positivity rates in hotspots was up to 6. 6 . We turn to our colleague michael mckee. It is heading in a bad direction it feels like. Michael the problem is, this is Community Spread that everybody has been worried about. We have seen it in other states, most recently in connecticut and new jersey. Ernor quan oh said Governor Cuomo said he wanted to work with them because there is no way to lock the borders of new york city. There is still concern around the borough of manhattan, brooklyn, and queens, and also along the pennsylvania border. We are starting to see an uptick in other places. Manhattan has gotten a little bit worse. Upt week infection rate was one half a percent and now it is up 1 . We are seeing spread of covid in new york which had been one of the better states so it looks like nobody is immune. David the questions all of us have is, what does that mean . What can be done . He is fighting covid19 and trying to reopen the economy. Are we talking lockdowns . Michael they have already done lockdowns in brooklyn in particular where they forced bars and restaurants to close except for Home Delivery in certain neighborhoods, and restricted the number of people who could gather even at churches. That may be coming for other parts of the city and state. They would prefer to do that then impose a general lockdown like in march that did enormous damage to the new york city economy, and we still not have recovered. A lot of people did not reopen. David you see that at our offices at bloomberg. Thank you, michael mckee. Yesterday, we spoke with house Speaker Nancy Pelosi about getting another round of stimulus done before the election, and she said things are looking good. Now we want to go to the other give ushite house your perspective with the white house. Are you happy with the way things are going . Have more reason for optimism then we have. The parties are exchanging ideas and we are seeing the speaker move in ways she hasnt over the last 90 days. Beendministration has focused on getting schools open, stimulus checks for hardworking americans, unemployment help, liability protection, and on shoring manufacturing. Really a more robust discussion. The chief will be on the hill talking with senators today, seeing how far we can move the ball down the field. The speaker and the secretary, Stephen Mnuchin will speak again this afternoon. Both sides are rightfully projecting optimism compared to where we have been because the speaker was really unwilling to move and it seems like we are coming closer together. David i do not want to get in the middle of negotiation but the speaker yesterday indicated on the question of liability, there is some middle ground. The other bookend she called it was a and local assistance. Where are we state and local assistance. Where are we . Brian the estimate our folks have been looking at in terms of what the state and local governments have need as a result of losses from the covid virus. Billion,oking at 250 275 billion, in that range and the speaker is far above that. Thinks we should not be spending money on things that literally have nothing to do with covid. Andersations are happening i think over the next 48 hours or so, we will see how things play out. Anseems to me it was optimistic morning and remains an optimistic afternoon. David we are up a little bit of the deadline, although the speaker said we could also do it after that. His President Trump committed to getting the stimulus is President Trump committed to getting the stimulus done, even if it goes after the election . Brian that is an option, and the treasury secretary said something similar recently. We have wanted to get it done for the past 92, 93 days. There is a sort of we cannot do it at all costs. We have bounds of reasonability and have to address problems facing the american people, keeping people connected to their jobs, ensuring adequate liquidity when they face problems due to the coronavirus. If things drift past the election, we will not stop talking, but we have always wanted to get it done. Over the last 92 days, like i said, and we still wanted as soon as possible. David are people working around the clock to get this done . Brian absolutely, things have not stopped. The secretary has been on a tour of the middle east and continues to have conversations even as he is literally halfway across the world. Has engaged conversations with our staff on capitol hill, and sometimes negotiations like this are a bit of a game of whackamole. Sometimes you move in one direction, one caucus will move keep itr so you need to together. To emphasize the administrations priorities, keeping people connected to their jobs, stimulus for liquidity, unemployment insurance. The president has taken executive orders that will not last forever and we wanted as soon as we can get it. David we are focused on stimulus but there are other issues pending. The election is coming up. What is the message going into this election you want to get across to the american people, the central message . Brian President Trump is the jobs president. Cuts,enda of tax deregulation, improved trade deals, unleashing Americas Energy sector has led to the largest, strongest, most seen,ive we have ever getting a treatment for vaccine to market in time, getting ppe all around the country, reducing the risks of the virus so we can safely reopen. He wants the strongest and most inclusive economy. The other side, we are looking at draconian tax increases, potentially more lockdowns. The data is not supporting that. Safe wayopen in a because President Trump has taken unprecedented steps to put us in this position and his economic agenda will lead to more jobs and higher wages for the american people, and less war and more peace deals than the previous administration, a safer and more prosperous way of life. David i know that no matter how much you want to control a message sometimes it gets out ahead of you. I want to talk about the leslie stahl 60 minutes. I have been involved in those interviews. Clearly it did not evolve the way you wanted. What happened . Brian the president was quite happy with it. He likes to joust and likes hostile interviews. He wants to make sure he gets a fair shake and there is no deceptive editing, and his full answers are reported because he is quite proud of them. Ist is really what this about, holding the press accountable and making sure reporting is fairly represented and representing his answers. David that is brian morganstern, the press secretary. Tonight is the second and last president ial debate. With President Trump looking to make up some lost ground in what see in the polls, if we can trust that. Steyer. Us is tom thank you for being with us. What is it like to debate against joe biden . What advice would you have for joe biden tomorrow . Tom i think that joe biden is a very calm, confident debater. I think he comes through as what he is, which is somebody that really cares about the american people. He doesnt get too complicated. He sticks to his basic points and he comes through as a very caring individual, so i think that from the standpoint of the debate stage, he won the first debate with mr. Trump hands down. I think it was a huge plus for the campaign because he kept his cool. He kept his awareness of the facts and did a great job, and im expecting something similar tomorrow night. David i am sure you do not have time to watch saturday night live but they pretrade him as mr. Rogers. Is that a bad position . Idea, when youe say mr. Rogers, wearing that very comforting sweater, you have a candidate who first and foremost relates to the american pima people, whose politics are a reflection of his caring for and confidence in the brains and hard work of americans. , we arethat attitude going to have the exact opposite of mr. Trump, an experienced, caring person who will rely on experts and make decisions based on the facts, it will be a seachange in a very good way for america, and that comes across on the debate stage and is reassuring. Id we spent a fair time amount of time talking about the wildfires in california. What is going on right now . Tom we have moved past the worst part of it by far, david, and the air is clear back in california. Remember,rtant to though, that the news on climate from around the world is terrible. Yes, weve had more than double any fire in terms of acreage burned in california this year. Weve had a Record Number of storms in the gulf. We have news coming from the polls about c rise and the melting of the sea rise and the melting of the permafrost that is frightening, so there is no question that we have an absolute need to deal with this, and joe biden steel does deal with this joe bidens deal does deal with this. The difference between joe biden and donald trump is enormous. We have a candidate dealing with science, acknowledging it, and coming up with a plan that doesnt just deal with climate but creates good paying jobs and deals with environmental justice. Systemic part of the racism. As a candidate, he could not admit to the problem, just as with covid. The issue of climate is the perfect difference between these candidates and is a perfect reason about why we are going to have historic turnout in america this year, because americans realize we are at a turning point and we absolutely have to future. Positive david talk to me about the california economy. Committeeeen on the with Governor Newsom to get california open again and the Walt Disney Company is objecting to the way it is being handled. Bob iger at 1. I think was on the panel with you. One point i think was on the panel with you. What is going on . Tom Governor Newsom made the determination that for us to get the robust the robust recovery we want, we have to get the virus under control. There are protocols and rules about all the different businesses and industries in terms of when you get to open a restaurant and when you get to open a gymnasium and when you get to open a school and when you get to open a theme park . Governor newsom has stuck to his guns and insisted that we keep californians safe, and those numbers are very much reflected in the health and safety of californians and how we have protected them. The bet has been from the beginning, and our task force has supported this, that first and foremost, protect the health and safety of californians and then we will get, because all the data says then you get the most most robust recovery. His Health Officials told it was a bad thing to do to open disneyland as soon as the Walt Disney Company would like and he stuck to his guns and went with health and safety. I think we are seeing that is absolutely supported by the level of infection and also the death rate. I think this is another example where we have a democratic governor dealing with science, putting, caring about the health and safety of his constituency and doing the right thing. Of thehe exact opposite failed, nonresponse to covid that our president has had, which is no plan, no rules, and actual denial that it even matters or is happening, and an attempt to smooth it over. You can see around the country, that is a policy leading to spikes in infection rates and spikes in deaths that apparently mr. Trump doesnt care about. David tom, it is always a pleasure,s tom steyer tom steyer. Tomorrow, please tune into bloombergs coverage of the final president ial debate. Coming up, the mayor of orlando, buddy dyer, on what is going on in his city with covid. This is bloomberg balance of power. Balance ofs is power on Bloomberg Television and radio. Florida continues to battle inid even as it looms large the election. We have an update from muddy mayor buddy dyer. Starting with covid, how is it going . May. Dyer we are pressing on. Our positive rate is about 5 right now, hovering a little below, but since we have opened back up, we are in 5 , a little higher than that. Openedough the governor the state up, people in Orange County in Central Florida are continuing to wear their masks, continuing to social distance and do the right things to keep everybody safe. David how much success are you having . I know disney world has opened back up, limited but opened . May. Dyer most businesses are opened to a limited extent. They relaxed the ratios and percentages for restaurants and so we are waiting to see what the effect will be when we have a total of three weeks where we have been totally open, but people are still taking the appropriate precautions. I think most restaurants and bar owners are continuing to adhere to a limited capacity and spacing of tables and that type of stuff, so even though they could be doing things, they are continuing to be cautious in doing the right thing. City, we are york having a resurgence of covid19, sad to say. Are you getting enough data and Contact Tracing to get your arms around the problem and keep it under control . May. Dyer we are getting a lot of information. Whether we can control it or not depend on everybody doing what they need to do, continue to wear a mask, social distance and stay home when they can. In city hall, we will not be open until at least the end of the year and if i look out at the skyline in downtown orlando, i am guessing the occupancy and Office Buildings are certainly less than 20 , may be significantly less than that right now, so people are still working from home. They are taking the necessary precautions, so hopefully we will not have a spike. David as you know well, 13 days until the election. Give us a sense how the voters in and around orlando are likely to process covid19 the pandemic and the aftermath response to that . May. Dyer we had early voting starting on monday of this week and there has been record turnout in each of the first couple of days for early voting, so there is certainly an urgency i think with people wanting to have the ability to exercise their vote. We have 20 early voting locations in the city in Orange County, including for this for the first time the amway center, our basketball stadium. I think there is great change in this election. David to the point of change that there is interest in, what do people around orlando think of the way President Trump has bedled covid19 appears to the main issue in the election. May. Dyer that is the major issue and he has totally mishandled the issue from the start. When he knew what the danger was and discounted it, he had an interview where he basically said, i am going to look the other way on this, and has continued to feed this information. It has fallen on the states and local governments to do the right thing the best we can and we preach Wearing Masks and social distancing and taking care of each other, and at least the people in orlando and Orange County have heeded that call. David will we get a clear answer out of florida within a reasonable time after november 3 . May. Dyer i think you will have florida on november 3, because we do absentee ballots and count them before the polls close on election day so it is not like you are waiting on that all night long. We will probably have a pretty good indication by 9 00 or 10 00 which way the state will go. Unfortunately, the last three election cycles it has been narrow within a point and a half or less than that on statewide elections in virtually every race, so now the polls show biden with a fairly Comfortable Lead but that is not the history in florida. We usually have close elections. David how badly do you need the stimulus out of washington . May. Dyer people are hurting. As a city government, we are ok.
