Environment which was lax when it came to normal, standard procedures associated with covid, wearing a mask, social distancing, trying to take as much outdoors as you can, and working from home. And none of those things were Standard Operating Procedures at the white house. I think that the American Public is getting a look at, when you take risks, you are going to have to pay the piper, and thats whats happening. David before any of this happened, one of the Big Questions in the election coming up just a month from now was, do we trust President Trump more than we trust former Vice President biden to handle this crisis . The president was already behind in most of the polls on that score. We are getting conflicting, sometimes ambiguous or confusing briefings from his doctor at walter reed. There was a lot of working things walking things back. We also saw the president get into his suv, a closed and contained suv, with two secret service agents, to drive past the people inside. He says he gets it. Does he get it . Rick its difficult to say whether or not he gets it. The president criticized joe biden repeatedly on the campaign trail and most recently at the debate for using a mask as a way of dramatizing the coronavirus, and yet now it looks like that was exactly the right approach that the Vice President was taking, by Wearing Masks to all his events and socially distancing. The criticism is now coming back to haunt him. The issue that the white house hasnt really been able to create a positive narrative around, trump getting sick and going to the hospital and managing the case while hes at the hospital with differing reports between the doctors and the chief of staff are really causing a lot of concern in the public mind, because they cant get the straight story. These are the kinds of things where you just dont want to make mistakes, so the fact they are not on top of this does not reflect well on their management of covid, in general, but specifically the president s health. David we do have an election going on. What does this do to the president s ability, his teams ability, his Campaign Manager has tested positive can they go forward forcefully with a campaign in these final days . Rick his Campaign Manager has tested positive. His lead advisor, governor chris christie, has tested positive, who has been helping him through the debates. I would say that we dont know toirically how this is going affect him. We dont have polling data since the president contracted covid, but we do know whats happened since the debate. Theres been a spike in bidens ballot nationally and in some states from polling taken after the last debate. If there was any question as to who was going to take advantage of that debate, it looks like it is biden, to the point where, in the latest poll, he has almost doubled his National Average and increased in states like pennsylvania and other surveys. Right now, i would say the president has, i wouldnt say bigger problems than covid, but the election is slipping away at a time where you have only 29 days left before election day. David as you point out, he is playing from behind, at least according to almost all the polls, including in some of the key swing states, like michigan. Hes got to come from behind. What can he do to turn this around . It feels like the momentum is going away from him, not with him. Rick he is using advertising and social media to try and reboot the campaign while he is but even his events, in that area, biden, because he has had such a successful fundraising campaign, is outspending him in every single category, with paid media. What is the earned media impact . He is not on the campaign trail. The next debate comes on the quarantinetwoweek that you would assume the president would respect. Debate forbe another the president to try and get back in this race . Without that debate, i cant imagine there is an event or scenario that would catapult the attention of the voters, but, then again, who wouldve thought wed be sitting here talking about the president sitting in walter reed with covid a week ago . Anything can happen in this election. David anything can happen. Can a stimulus bill get past in this election get passed in this election . Rick this may be a victim of covid. There seemed to be some momentum at the end of last week, none of which has come to fruition. There are bailout packages for the airlines, where they are holding off firing thousands of employees if they can get this deal done. Sayy pelosi, continues to t they can get a deal done nancy pelosi, the speaker, continues to say that they can get a deal done. The longer it takes, the less likely it is. David what would you say to joe biden right now . He has taken his negative ads down in an abundance of caution, not wanting to look like he is using the president s covid diagnosis as an advantage. Hes going high, not low. At the same time, he is spending time in these targeted states, florida today and pennsylvania and ohio after the debates. I think hes doing the right stuff. At some point in time, and this is going to be a big week, kama la harris is going to have her debut on the National Stage as Vice President ial nominee, and she will be debating on wednesday Vice President pence. That will be the next big event. She needs a good performance in order to keep the momentum alive for biden. David thank you so much to our bloomberg political contributor, rick davis. He will be with us wednesday night at 8 30 p. M. Eastern time on Bloomberg Television and radio. Coming up, the president taking ill has potential ramifications around the world. Ons is balance of power Bloomberg Television and radio. David this is balance of power on Bloomberg Television and radio. I am david westin. We welcome reva goujon, Martin Crumpton Group Managing director. We have secretary pompeo in tokyo with a meeting going on. He is going to come back early. What does this disease and the president s hospitalization potentially mean internationally . Reva everyone is watching whats happening in the white house cluster very closely. Its highprofile. It doesnt seem to favor the chances for a biden presidency, but i dont think any country is really taking any chances. Most are doing their contingency planning, preparing for either outcome. Obviously, the distraction in the United States, the disinformation opportunities on social media those are very rife. This is like something out of a greek drama, so lots of fodder for disinformation campaigns and maybe potential to leverage that distraction. Negotiatinge powers in stalemates. You look at north korea, stuck in a negotiation with the u. S. Potential for an icbm test. You look at iran. It has a lot stacked up against it with either president. Andl in its Nuclear Freeze it could push Nuclear Activities in the strait of hormuz. You have turkey essentially giving the green light to azerbaijan. That could draw russia into yet another proxy battle, where its on opposing sides with turkey. Thats another area that could draw u. S. Attention. Lots of different hotspots to watch. A lot of countries are still in wait and see mode. Anything theye can do to send a message around the world, this is not the time to push us . There are some rivals to the United States who i take the opportunity to take advantage who might take the opportunity to take advantage. Reva the election itself has been a big distraction for the sitting president , so a lot has already been delegated. The important thing is to show business as usual. You see in the south china sea, taiwan strait, those are ways to show we are here, nothing has changed, status quo. I think you can expect things like that. This its like pompeo to tokyo visits like pompeo to tokyo. Those are the kinds of things you can expect to see as well, where the Biting Campaign is also going to be focusing on foreign the Biden Campaign is also going to be focusing on foreign relationships. David is this potentially good news, at least in the short term, for china . Both President Trump and, to some extent, Vice President biden have wanted to put pressure on china. To allow group want pressure to be brought to bear on china. Does this mean china has more of a freehand . Reva maybe be to some limited extent. This does provide an opportunity, kind of like earthquake diplomacy, where we ve already seen chinese president xi jinping and his wife send a get well letter to President Trump and melania. It also allows china to contrast itself with the american response to the pandemic and show progress on its vaccine rollout and use that as a tool to other countries that are hungry for that vaccine. A less chaotico outcome, everyone is looking at the same factors. Russia has more of a history in terms of the disinformation campaign, but china still has a lot to worry about. This quad meeting, which is really about trying to give a backbone to this alliance, semialliance between australia, india, japan, and the United States, is a real test. And china has always turned this an antichina theres a lot of momentum for the u. S. To take advantage of, whether its a biden or trump presidency. What do you tell your clients when they ask you a question im sure they must ask, which is what is the biggest single difference between a President Biden and President Trump . Reva it really comes down to tactics, because the Structural Forces are still very much there. I think you are looking at the building crisis over taiwan in the south see south china sea. If you can reconstruct a as youe with beijing, had during the obama administration, and you also have a lot of incentive in beijing for reform. The reformists in beijing are saying the geopolitical climate is just another factor that means we need to create a more competitive china at home for businesses. If you do see real reforms and traction on that front, that could also help create a more positive negotiating climate to help manage the competition overall. That competition is still building across a number is still building. David thats reva goujon. We turn now to Mark Crumpton for bloomberg first word news. Mark no relation. President is ready to return to a normal work schedule President Trump is ready to return to her normal work schedule. Mark meadows tells fox news that he is making, quote, unbelievable progress. Another person who works closely with President Trump has been infected with covid19. In a, White House Press secretary Kayleigh Mcenany says she has tested positive in a White House Press secretary Kayleigh Mcenany says she tested positive. She says she didnt know about diagnosis before holding the White House Press briefing on tuesday. Charles evans is sounding optimistic about the outlook for the u. S. Economy. He spoke with bloombergs Michael Mckee earlier today. I think the economic recovery has been pretty good. In fact, its been a little quicker than i was expecting back in june when i submitted a forecast. I had been quite nervous about, well, theres a normal recovery where we get back to the level of where we were going into this sometime in 2022, maybe. Then we seem to have been doing better than that. Mark evans also said he is hopeful there will be more fiscal stimulus going forward. The republican plan to confirm Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett by election day is now in peril. Three senators have tested positive for the coronavirus in the past few days, and at least eight others are known to have had direct exposure. Majority leader mcconnells narrow margin for confirming barrett would evaporate if just three republicans were unable to vote. Tropical storm delta is expected to strengthen to a hurricane, endangering the Cayman Islands and cuba on a path into the gulf of mexico. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm gamma stalled just north of mexicos yucatan peninsula today, after lashing the coast with winds and rain. At least six people were killed. Thousands were forced from their homes. 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 Crumpton. This is bloomberg. David thanks very much. Still ahead, the house antitrust subcommittee is close to releasing its big report on big tech. This is balance of power on Bloomberg Television and radio. David david this is balance of power on Bloomberg Television and radio. I am david westin. Its time for a check of the markets. Risk on. Scarlet the scenario is bullish for risk. Treasuries falling, the 10year yield rising. The dollar weakening. It all boils down to stimulus. The president tweeting that a deal to get done. Nancy pelosi saying as much on friday, but the two sides are pretty far apart. Trillion to 2. 4 trillion. Joe bidens lead in the polls is widening, reducing the odds of a contested election and increasing talk of a democratic sweep. If we get a blue wave, that could raise the risk of inflation. A could pull forward an eventual fed rate increase it could pull forward an eventual fed rate increase. Banks borrow at the short end of the yield curve and blend at the long end lend at the long end. Netnet, this pushes really yields lower and the dollar weaker, and that produces easier financial conditions, which is positive for risky assets. David thank you for that report. The antitrust subcommittee, the house judiciary committee, has been conducting hearings about how antitrust laws should be applied to big tech. It is reportedly due out anytime now. Bill served as the assistant attorney general for antitrust in the obama administration. Its great to have you back with us. You testified before the subcommittee. What do you think we are going to hear out of it . Bill another slow news day. I testified last thursday, the final hearing before this report comes out. Whats unusual about this report is it really reflects not just a couple hearings with ceos and other things, but a 15month or dive, looking at nonpublic documents subpoenaed from the four companies. What the subcommittee was able to do was understand the motivations behind certain acquisitions, motivations behind certain changes in rules and requirements by these dominant hightech factions. [indiscernible] interacting with the members of that subcommittee on thursday, both in the public testimony and in some private conversations, this is more of a bipartisan consensus that we need to do something. We need to increase funding for antitrust enforcement. At a minimum, we need to modify the antitrust laws to direct courts to be a little more receptive to challenges to mergers and challenges to monopolization behavior than they have been in the past. David lets talk about that more specifically. Is the antitrust laws not changing the sherman act or the clayton act is that changing the sherman act or the clayton act . Bill Amy Klobuchar on the senate side has a bill that would change the merger standard from a [indiscernible] reducerially competition. On the side ofr blocking increasing concentrations in already concentrated markets and the more skeptical of acquisitions by dominant firms and be more skeptical of acquisitions by dominant firms of more nascent startups. There is talk about changing the antitrust laws, not dramatically, but to get the courts to be more receptive to antitrust challenges by the federal antitrust agencies. David is that barring the door after the horse has left the barn already . Would it affect the instagram deal . That never made it to the courts. They didnt even challenge it, did they . I think federal trade commission concluded under existing law both instagram and whatsapp, those two facebook acquisitions, were not covered by the current language of the clayton act or at least by the way the courts have interpreted it. The notion would be to try to direct the courts to be more receptive to challenges by the antitrust agencies. Tcu could go back, and the f may be looking at this with regard to facebook or acquisitions by other firms, and of, hey, this is a pattern monopolization under the sherman act, and therefore, we ought to go in, as the courts did years ago with the standard oil trust, and force divestiture or limit the ability of a dominant firm to make acquisitions going forward. So, there is some ability to look backwards. But i think the subcommittees focus is trying to toughen the antitrust laws so we can deal with concern about growing concentration. David what about something perhaps even more radical than that . Weve heard from the chair of the antitrust subcommittee, talking about the equivalent of a glasssteagall law with respect to antitrust. If you run a platform, as google does, as facebook does, you cannot also appear on that platform. Is there any likelihood of that . Bill the chairman has been an articulate proponent of that as something that ought to be on the legislative agenda. I dont know that there is bipartisan support for that, but i think it will be in the report. I think there will be support from some members of that subcommittee for going that far, that whole separation of functions notion. David this reads against, i think, the supposed case against google we are about to have come out. We were promised by the end of last month. We are now into october and we dont have it. I know the department of justice was consorting with dust consulting with states was consulting with state attorneys general. Bill they dont think this case is ready for prime time, and they are worried that this is going to be perceived as simply a political complaint. Pushbackconsiderable and controversy. Bill barr is running the show. The head of the antitrust division is recused from this. It is a complaint that apparently is likely to come out in the next week or so, but how it will be viewed by the public, how it will be viewed by the courts is caught up in this whole sense that the Barr Justice Department is more political than is appropriate for a Law Enforcement agency. David as far as you can tell, this doesnt go far enough or it goes too far . Bill i think that its not ready for prime time. I think there are some states that think, in addition to googlea look at how contracts with apple and other cell phone manufacturers with regard to using its search engine, safari, as the default on these phones, that is one concern. But they are also concerned about how they work with advertisers, how they limit the ability of advertisers who appear on other search engines. So, there is a second level of concern relating to the advertising side of the market. That, i think, is an area where the state ags think there ought to be antitrust focus as well. David as far as you are concerned, do you think we have to wait till after the election before this suit gets filed . Bill i think it will be filed before, but i think it will be tainted by the sense that there was a rush to judgment here or a rush to get the complaint out in advance of an election, which is the worst way to bring about Law Enforcement, antitrust or anything else. David thank you so much. Its always a delight to talk to you. That is bill baer. Breedancisco mayor london facingting pressure pressure. Bloomberg on friday oke towe first she sp bloomberg on friday after we first learned President Trump had covid. I dont like to wear a mask, but i where wear them. I dont like social distancing. I want to be around people. But i understand i could infect somebody and they could infect me. It has to be about the behavior i model so that others can follow. They need to understand how significant this is and how it could basically be devastating to a densely populated city like San Francisco. This is important. From my perspective, this is why, from day one, i have tried to communicate everything i know and the facts and use data in the decisionmaking process of this virus and just to remind people, yes, we want it to be over, we are tired of covid, but covid is not tired of us and its not going to weigh just because we want it to going to go away just because we want it to. Many states have reopened potentially faster than San Francisco. I wonder if you [no audio] i wonder if you think the president s condition will change the way this plays out. It could be even worse. The impact of covid could be devastating. I hope that this is a wakeup call for so many people who are refusing to wear masks and who are moving forward with their lives as if nothing is wrong, as if we are not still in a pandemic. This should be an example, for sure. Falling sharply in some locations, including San Francisco. People are leaving the city. That means you will have a lower tax base. Im very concerned. A 1. 5ced a budget with billion deficit. There are over 200,000 people who have filed for unemployment in the city. We have businesses that i have been going to as a kid that have closed permanently. Im definitely concerned about the Economic Impact of whats happening. Its not about just tech companies. Its about business in general. In light of covid and working from home and having more flexibility and the cost of living in the number of tax measures and other things the costofliving and the number of tax measures and other things where we will have some challenges over the next couple of years. The fact is, we are San Francisco. We are a major city. People love coming to the city, working in the city, going to restaurants in the city. You cant just create this someplace else in a suburb. You only get what you can get from a place like San Francisco by being in a place like San Francisco. Its going to be hard for us for some time, but i think eventually we will get back to a better place. David that was San Francisco mayor london breed, speaking with bloombergs emily chang on friday. We will turn to energy. Energy policy is one of the major issues that separates the candidates. For wants to strengthen production of President Trump wants to strengthen production. Of ihs to dan, chairman market and author of the new map. Great to have you back with us. We have two very different approaches. Biden, itten to joe sounds like we are just around the corner from a major energy transformation. If you listen to President Trump, its not going to happen anytime soon. Daniel its a pretty big golf between the candidates gulf between the two candidates. The Trump Administration has been focused on being the number one producer of oil and gas and what that does to its position in the world. Joe biden has a Climate Action plan, focused on addressing climate things. In terms of oil and gas, its a little unclear where he is. He made it a point to say in pennsylvania, where there are a lot of jobs related to fracking, that im not going to ban fracking, but clearly its a pivot towards more regulation around oil and gas. David the market drives it as well with the prices. Is this sooner or later that we are going to have a fundamental shift away from fossil fuels . Daniel i think its an evolution going on. I was recently with a bunch of the leaders of the electric power. They looked to be net zero 2040. By 2025, 2030, there are 280 million cars in the United States. About 279 bill of them are going to run on gasoline. I dont think they are going to gush about 279 million of them 200 79gasoline about million of them run on gasoline. I dont think people are going to throw away their cars. I think this is something that unfolds. The timing and the direction is unclear. David you point out how many jobs 10 million are tied to the energy industry. We have trillions of dollars globally. Who putting bets on which side . Who is putting bets on which side . Exxon is not moving as quickly as others away from fossil fuel. China may benefit. Who is benefiting on which side . Danilel the exxon thing is a still unfolding story. All Major Companies are looking and sayingissions what are they going to be and the question becomes how do you mitigate them. Theres a whole chapter of my book that is based upon the work that we did led for bill Gates Foundation about the technologies we need. One of them that is major is Carbon Capture carbon mitigation. Its when you look at the numbers thats where we are going to see increased investment going, in terms of research. In terms of countries, china is a significant winter here because it is unlike the u. S. And imports 75 of its oil. Problem,ajor strategic particularly with the geopolitical issues that are developing, and it has a dominant position in what they call the new energy. About 70 of the solar panels in the world are made in china. Another 10 by chinese companies. Its chinese manufacturing that is partly responsible for this revolution of solar costs, which have come way down. They would be a big beneficiary. David one of the things i learned from your book, the department of energy under President Trump investing an awful lot of money in science and research, some of which has to go to renewables. Billion in basic science research. Thats the True Foundation of an energy transition. Thats been pretty consistent. Thats the one area of bipartisan cooperation, the importance of maintaining that commitment. We have this incredible ecosystem that goes from 70 national labs, universities, companies, startups. No other country has that advantage in new technology. Take wind and solar, 50yearold industries that, in the last 10 years, have become competitive. The investment you make now really pays off, but it could take 10 or 20 years. David draw one of the contrast that i got from your new book, between russia, which is very dependent on fossil fuels, and saudi arabia. They have vision 2030. Does russia have anything similar about what comes after fossil fuels . Daniel i dont think so. Vladimir putin said, its great, our budget is only 30 oil, instead of being 40 . I think russia has been talking about diversification for 20 years, since putin came to power, and its really not happening. I was at a conference where i asked putin that question. He and chancellor merkel were on the platform. I mentioned shale. He really doesnt like u. S. Shale. He gave me his opinions on that, which were pretty strong. It,i arabia is trying to do but its hard to shift an economy that is so dependent on oil. It was hard before covid, more difficult right now. One of the things its clear, in order to diversify away from oil, you actually need some oil revenues. You compare President Trump with former Vice President biden, energy policy. Lets go down both paths. If President Trump is elected versus President Biden, if he is elected, what difference will it make in the time it takes to get to Sustainable Energy . Daniel i dont think theres any analysis to actually say lion, but you know 2 tril going into that will try to speed the adaptation to electric cars and so forth. What goes back to your earlier question about the rmd spending r d spending, you have these diametrically opposed plans. You look at what the industry is doing, and thats going to happen among under democrats or republicans. Listening to the interview with the mayor of San Francisco reminds one we also have to spend a lot of money repairing our economy and bringing back small business, which has been so devastated by the covid crisis. David always a pleasure to spend time with you. Dan yergen, author of the new map energy, climate, and the clash of nations. Governor andrew cuomo has been speaking. He says new York City Schools in viral hotspots will close tomorrow. This is backing off mayor de blasios position. In the meantime, a white house aide has tested positive for covid. Coming up, our swing states series leading to the election moves on to michigan this week. We start with an overview from a professor. This is balance of power on Bloomberg Television and radio. David w. this is balance of power on Bloomberg Television and radio. I am david westin. We continue our swing states series, looking at michigan. We welcome now david dulio, professor of Political Science at oakland university. Treat us like your students. Tell us what we need to know about michigan this year politically. David d. thanks for having me, david. Its a state that is, as you know, really central to both strategy, electoral to reach the magic number of electoral votes. As expected, this has been a pretty Heated Campaign here in the wolverine state for the last several months. David w. the wolverine state went narrowly for President Trump last time. What tipped it over the edge . We hear about a county on the northern border of detroit. David d. i would say a number of things tipped the scale in trumps direction. When you win a state by less than 11,000 votes, you could point to any number of thousand things that would lead to that margin of victory. I would say a couple things are important to that result. One is that the Clinton Campaign basically ignored michigan until the very end. That was part of their assumption that michigan was going to be part of that solid blue wall, that of course crumbled on election day 2016. Part of that was the fact that folks in michigan, as well as in places across the country, were not terribly enthused about Hillary Clintons candidacy. Whether that changes with joe biden remains to be seen. A verycounty is important part of our state. Its been a bellwether of sorts over the last 10 to 20 years. I would point you to one stat that is really important to me when i look back at 2016. Donald trump got 35,000 more votes in that county alone than mitt romney did four years prior. Conversely, Hillary Clinton got 35,000 fewer votes than obama did. Does that mean those people switched . Of course not. But it is driven by turnout. Trump drove some voters to the polls who hadnt voted four years before, and many who showed up for obama simply didnt for clinton. David w. a week ago, i might have asked how michiganders will respond to the nomination of barrett to the Supreme Court. Now, i have to ask about covid19. Whats going to be driving voters to the polls and causing them to vote one way or the other . David d. here, the economy is front and central. It is an issue that is dominated has dominated discussions in michigan. It was central in 2016. Then candidate trump came here with a message that was very populist in nature, talking about bad trade deals, whether it was nafta or tpp. Interestingly, in the 2016 democratic primary, Bernie Sanders campaign here with much of the same message. Trump has continued that messaging here in 2020, talking about the usmca as a replacement for nafta. He is certainly taking credit for that, trying to message to voters in places like macomb county, autoworkers, that it will be a better deal for them than nafta was. To biden has come and talked the manufacturing folks, talking about his policies being americanmade, buy american, a populist message in some way. David w. let me ask one last question. I was in high school when George Wallace won the primary in michigan. Why is michigan so unpredictable when it comes to the elections . David d. because its a competitive state. 16,ore trump won in 20 Democratic Candidates have carried the state for several election cycles had carried the state for several election cycles. That masks some underlying competitiveness here in michigan between the major parties. Republicans have had success in statewide elections for governor, for secretary of state, attorney general, and the like. Its a competitive state, through and through, and its going to be competitive here in 2020. David w. your governor has been pretty tough on covid19. She is running into trouble with the state Supreme Court. As i understand it, her Approval Rating is pretty high. Whats going on with that tussle with this the court . David d. the Michigan State Supreme Court handed down a verdict that one of the state laws the governor was using to unilaterally impose orders through executive order, which is her power to do, they said that one of those laws, from unconstitutional and therefore the orders she had been given were now no and void void. Null and the attorney general announced her office wouldnt no longer enforce those orders. We are in a state of flux to see where it goes from here, how the governor works with the state legislature, which is controlled by republicans. David w. many thanks to david dulio, getting us set up on our swing states series, starting with michigan. We will cover that all this week. This is balance of power on Bloomberg Television and radio. David w. this is balance of power on Bloomberg Television and radio. I am david westin. For more on our swing states series, we welcome in a mayor of my hometown. Give assistance of how flints reaction reacting to this election. Everyone wants to make the best choices for our families and our way of life and our agenda. Engaged inoting to the greatest american right we have, the right to choose we ing engagement in the greatest american right we have, the right to choose. We are doing great in flint, despite the ongoing water issues we have. We are prayerful and optimistic that we will be on the others this very soon. David w. President Trump is clearly trying to reach out to the africanamerican voter. Flint has a substantial africanamerican population. Is his word resonating with your fellow citizens of flint . Im not sure if its resonating, but we are pushing back against the tendency of American Society to we are working our way through it. Thats why its so important, especially for black and brown individuals, to get out and participate in this mode. We are working our way through it. We have a lot of civil unrest as it relates to all of the trauma that our American Society is facing, with the element of race in our communities, but we are working our way through it. Im just very happy that we are a Resilient Community and we are taking the mindset from victims to victors here in your hometown. David w. mayor, it doesnt strike me that there have been some demonstrations in flint it does strike me that there have been some demonstrations in flint. The sheriff of Genesee County marched with the protestors. That . Ve you managed we are not just talking about the things that can be done. We are making the necessary changes to level the field. We have taken an africanamerican holiday and make it a real holiday, the juneteenth holiday is an observed holiday, a paid day off for workers. We have outlawed chokeholds and Different Things that nature. We are considering the no knock search warrants, to ban those as well, inside the city of flint. We are making changes for the protesters. We have elevated the level of protest to change it, making the level of equality rise up, especially inside the city of flint. I think thats why we see a level of peaceful demonstration here in the city of flint. We are listening and making sure that those voices are heard. David w. finally, mr. Mayor, do you have a sense of how many people will go out physically to the polls . People are actually voting early. Early voting has started in the city of flint. We have six remote locations where people can take their absentee ballots and drop them off. Ive made every fire station inside the city of flint we have put a dropbox there. They can drop them off at a fire station, police department, and also city hall. We make it very accessible. People need to mail theirs back by october 19. They will be counted. David w. thank you for being with us. Of flint,ey michigan. This is bloomberg. Mark i am Mark Crumpton with bloomberg word news. A member of President Trumps inner circle has tested positive for coronavirus. Mcenanycretary kayleigh says she is not experiencing symptoms. Meantime, the decision of whether to release President Trump from the hospital will come in a few hours. The call will be made after consultations with the president s medical staff. Says of staff mark meadows the president continued to improve overnight. The president has been at the Walter Reed Medical Center since friday night. Paris officials have put on maximum virus alert, banning gatherings and requiring all bars to close. Officials say the new restrictions will stay in effect for at least two weeks as they try to combat the rapidly increasing rise in coronavirus infections. French authorities consider bars to be major infection hotspots because patrons do not respect social distancing rules as much as they do it restaurants. The stage is set for a showdown on brexit.
