catherine: very good question.the case in the global financial crisis when china implemented a bit of fiscal policy and monetary policy to bolster commodity demand as well as other demands throughout the global economy. they did it again in 2015 and 2016. they were the part of the slow down and ramped up and were part of the global recovery. this time around the export channel is an important channel for them. the question mark is to what extent their choice of fiscal policy instruments and monetary policy instrument are designed to focus on internal demand versus getting exports out the door and through that channel. there has been a pivot. they talk about the dual circulation, meeting the domestic economy and the external economy. they have the language that suggests they are focusing on their domestic economy, trying to bolster that growth. right now we have strong exports, and that is an important ingredient to the gdp growth. and: when the imf comes out brings down their expectations for growth next year, john

civic catherine would you mind? >> any complex problems, will have obviously multiple factors that contribute to its level of urgency and also the division. what we see in almost every problem though is government has a role in it. and government is failing in it. because virtually every problem we pick up, is not needed what needs to be done. that goes back to the nature of competition in this duopoly , which is to say a way to compete in a duopoly is to divide. that is the most accepted thing to do is not compete for the middle but to differentiate yourself. turn out that almost depressed the middle is sort of how it works in a political campaign. any complex issue the solution is nitrite ideological. they are in scented to help to have everyone believe but they're not that simple. so the fact that we have this competition, makes it impossible for the elected officials and our congress or state legislatures, to effectively deal these problems. it is not the only place where the divisiveness comes from. it just rei

catherine, tell us a little bit about john marshall and madeira. >> catherine: i think he gained his taste for madera in a richmond. i hope i pronounce it correctly, he was part of a club in richmond that was essentially a barbecue club for gentlemen and john marshall is one of the founding members and they had their own punch and madeira was one of the primary ingredients. cognac, rhum, sugar, and madeira was one of the primary ingredients. they played a long game similar to horseshoes and through iron rings and one of the reasons they got together was to have this bond, and john marshall had a role that politics and religion were not to be discussed and if they were caught discussing it they were fined a case of champagne which was consumed at the next meeting. >> [laughter] clare: and apparently you have bottles labeled that he brought? catherine: i think there were merchants who played on john marshall's on this form madeira. and there was a supreme court labeled madeira which gave the seal of approval of john marshall that it must be good. marshall had a great ally on the court.

catherine: the timing couldn't be worse. the brandenburg airport will finally open tomorrow and perhaps the date is appropriate because it is a bit of a halloween nightmare. it's opening more than a decade behind schedule and has gone three times over budget. but that's not the biggest problem -- it's opening in the middle of a pandemic when global tourism and aviation industries are in crisis. it will have to ask for more funding to get it through the rest of the year even though a third of financing has come from german taxpayers pockets and it is starting off with huge debts to repay before one passenger has stepped foot in the terminal. anchor: on that note, with this airport -- it's a bad time. thank you for the roundup of is this. do you stay with us. we will be taking a very short rake and be back on the others with more world news headlines. 10/30/20 10/30/20 [captioning made possible by democracy now!] amy: from new york, this is democracy now! >> perhaps senator perdue would have been able to respond properly to th

catherine. well it really has been an unprecedented election season and a lot of ways the huge early vote. the backdrop of the pandemic i asked professor david mckeown of sonoma state university for his thoughts on the state of the race. if you think about what's happened say the last couple of days we've seen a tightening in the polls which we would expect. >>that closing is different than what we saw in 2016 because we've seen such a large uptick in the early vote. in 2016 there were 93 million people who are eligible to vote who didn't vote we're not seeing that this particular election. we are seen almost that number today who have already voted especially big numbers in texas and in florida. and in florida. the president has to win florida have a path to 2.70 joe biden has to do well in the upper midwest particularly in wisconsin and pennsylvania. so as we move closer to election night and this big weekend. you are should pay attention to where the candidates are spending their time because

hi, catherine yeah, hi grant we'll see if we've learned have less than a year right. if the trump campaign is going to change the trajectory of this race clearly as professor david mckeown says they are running out of time and while we might not exactly look at this. >>whole political season as serene or uneventful mckeown says the presidential race has nonetheless been stable regarding the 2 major candidates. >>even before joe biden became the nominee for the democratic party. he in a head to head match-up had the health some lead against the president but since the conventions late august, he's hel held a lead of around 6 to 11.6 to 10 points consistently, so the stock price between the 2 candidates has been if you will stable regardless of what president trump has done regardless of what we've seen really related to the death of ruth bader ginsburg regardless of what's happened with the positive covid-19 diagnosis by the president the races stabilize that doesn't mean that joe biden wins it means that he's at a consistently and continuing to talk about the coronavi

>>our catherine heenan host of inside bay area politics got some reaction from our political analyst catherine yeah, vicki and graham republican officials say that other than removing labels that column boxes official they are not budging on this they point out that democrats have been ballot harvesting since 2016, encouraging voters for example to bring ballots to places like churches or union halls republicans don't see that using these secure boxes is really any different political analyst michael yaki disagrees. this passive idea the idea that these boxes could be anywhere in that anyone democrat republican independent. >>the independent green wherever could put their ballot in and not know for certain whether someone is going to pick that ballot box up. and not look inside and can do a voter check will determine whether that. now they actually make it to the post office that's a problem. >>but isn't that different michael if you take your ballot along a gym or your union hall i mean are still at least potentially facing the risk that somebody will mishandle your ballot. you have

catherine: this is certainly a problem, the president on the campaign trail saying the quiet part outd, he is struggling and one of the things that is happened with the pandemic, it robbed him of his strong argument with women which was the economy, what you would hear from women before the pandemic was they don't like the tweets, they don't like the style but they like their 401k, what was happening with their jobs, that is simply not the case anymore. a lot of is pleased to suburban women have been centered around public safety and housing integration and they really have not moved a lot of voters. i think it's porton to note looking into the final stretch as he tries to make an economic argument women have been the hardest hit particular women with children who struggle around childcare and school access, it is not clear if he can make that much ground. chris: i want to look at a different metric, the trump campaign over the last month has really pulled down campaign advertising in the upper midwest, michigan, wisconsin, iowa, minnesota and instead is spending more money in the sun

heenan today catherine of course host of inside bay area politics and catherine of biden thought he had his hands full with kamala harris when she attacked him for busing and segregation that we have seen anything, that was not a thing. yeah, eric swalwell talks about that. >>well he knows about the fact that those tougher rules are being proposed for future debates. one option that we're hearing a lot about cutting off the candidates microphone if needs be swalwell fall for that idea just one of the things we talked about today. >>well i think the american people expect that each ca didate will be able to answer the question without in a russian and into joe biden's first response the immediately started interrupting and as chris wallace at the end of the mister president you were the one interrupting as my 3 year-old interrupting right you're the one throughout the and so i do the american people would rather hear these candidates uninterrupted so the vice presidential debate coming up next week i would. >>thank less likely to go off the rails you have shared a debate stage with k

catherine, i know you paid very close attention to this race throughout.ser to your decision? and what are the factors that are weighing on you tonight? >> i am closer. although it may seem bizarre, but i'm not sure i will know until the minute i'm in that booth. i appreciate all the things that kimberly said. i've had similar thoughts. you know, health care is a big thing to me and i don't know that either biden or trump have impressed me with that. i like, you know, that biden wants to have to closed families at 8.5% of their income for health insurance, but it's not sustainable with this public option muscle that doesn't really win me over. i'm also very concerned about there not being checks and balances as far as if the president and the senate and house are all democrat, that's not the way our democracy was set up and so i am leaning towards voting for trump and pence. i am always disappointed and president trump's behavior, but because we are small business owners and because of the republican platform, that's the way i'm leaning at this time. but l
