thanks very much, dan. first let me say it has been a pleasure to work with dan on this report we are launching today. thank maria logan and the russia foundation for their support of the project. dan and i have been in this field for a long time. we joined the foreign service at the start of the carter administration. we served in brezhnev's soviet union. dan was in leningrad, and i was in moscow. several years later, when we were both senior directors on the nsc under the clinton administration and we worked on the strategy for nato enlargement and the nato russia partnership, that was an optimistic time when we and the russians were in many ways speaking the same language of democratic values, human rights, the rule of law, and the sovereignty of all european states. our mutual goal with moscow was to build an all-european security system based on these principles, with russia as an integral part. to transform nato with a nato russia strategic partnership, which was sometimes called an alliance, were the

dan: good question.k as you evaluate spac's, it has to be thoughtful about who the partner is and what the intentions are. the team we are working with has done several spac's successfully and we are at the beginning. i think both with their experience and the timing has given us confidence this is based on the true value of the company. taylor: talk to me about the business. how do you attract new customers? do you need to boost the marketing spend? dan: we offer per mile insurance. 65% of drivers drive less than the average and we save those customers 47% on average. we acquire customers through a number of channels, whether online through traditional means or in unique ways beyond that. we offer what is called ride along, an opportunity to estimate how much you would save with per mile insurance after trying it for two weeks, and earning additional savings by being a safe driver. we are partnering with auto manufacturers to understand how much somebody drives and offer them a personalized rate that sh

dan, this one is for you. dan: i refer immediately to it at left paper addressing that topic. exactly that topic. it came out just last week. the biden administration, from earlier this year, the article talks about the need to combat corrupt financial flows. russia is particularly egregious in that regard. there are lots of things we could do. not just sanctions. in fact, the tools, the economic tools to dry up russia corrupt money are not merely sanctions, there are lots of ways to enforce transparency. why should llc's registered in delaware be anonymous? why should not donors be made public in real estate deals, or major art sales, which have been shambles for corrupt and other forms of money? there are other tools, financial tradecraft tools, sanctions, transparency and others, which should be on a transatlantic agenda, if the u.s., europe and london set standards of transparency, we have a chance of starting to squeeze the russian flow of financial corruption. helping countries in europe and helping ours

dan: i think that is right.our perspective, we are probably looking at the end of the summer into the fall before the vaccine can really take -- enough people take up the vaccine, which we are hopeful about. i don't think we are ever going back to what was. i think we will go into a new normal. new normal, based on what we are seeing and as with think about the future of work, is probably going to be some hybrid of people continuing to work from home and coming into the office. maybe working from home two to three days a week, and in the office two to three days a week. some people will forever be at home, and others will be more in the office. but, the vast majority will be some kind of 3-2 hybrid, i think. taylor: that was the first part of our conversation with dan schulman. shulman discusses paypal's embrace of cryptocurrencies and what he calls the demise of cash. that is next. this is bloomberg. ♪ taylor: bitcoin has been on a tear lately, crossing $18,000 last week and still keeping up the momentum on mon

paul: dan, what about you?you see enough evidence here, persuasive, that persuades you the election could be overturned? dan: i don't think "the issue is" persuading me that the election could be overturned. the issue is persuading the judges to whom the republicans and presumably rudy giuliani will present their evidence. the question is, how long they want to present the evidence? i also say you have to divide what's going on into two baskets. one is the legal challenge the cases kyle described here. the other is rudy giuliani described this week, which would be a vast complex conspiracy to defraud donald trump of this election. as rudy giuliani described it, he was not run by individual democratic leaders in the state but a centralized plan or conspiracy that was run out of a centralized location to steal the election. that's something altogether different than going through the process of challenging mistakes in arizona, michigan and wisconsin and georgia. so i think probably the legal challenges will play

paul: dan, do you agree with that? seen these guys, these so-called experts, who always point to the science and then say by the way, the science justifies whatever i'm proposing. i mean, is that -- could biden go in that direction? >> well, he's the one who keeps saying he'll listen to his swine typhic advisors and -- scientific advisors and dr. osterholm and dr. e emmanuel and the rest is to go towards more severe lockdowns. joe biden would have to resist them pretty much the way donald trump resisted similar advice from dr. anthony fauci, although we think we may be looking back fondly at anthony fauci by the time the biden people are done. keep in mind as well, joe biden won't be in charge of the coronavirus until late january or early february. so if homan is suggesting the surge peaks and comes down by then, there may not be as much pressure in late january for a lockdown. the problem is going to come over the next several months and the question is whether democratic politicians or politicians in general in the

>> hey, dan.hings, you will have a successful shop season. so let's get to it. we know the holiday shopping season is going to be different this year. fewer and socially distanced door-buster specials. and a holiday shopping season that has already begun. so how do you play the shopping game this year? i sat down with consumer reports deal editor samantha gordon. rule number one, start shopping now. >> the best way to get the best deals is to shop all month long. so you don't want to wait and buy everything at once. if you buy a few things here and there, you can take advantage of these different sales. >> this year the deals will be pretty much the same in stores and online, so there's no reason to venture out if you would rather not. which brings us to rule number two. keep track of prices. now, that sounds like a lot of work. and in the past it has been. but since you're watching 7 on your side right now, you'll know that "consumer reports" is making it easier this year. in real time, samantha'

the storm is winding down, dan and ama. you can see we have little patches of light rain and showers spread mainly across the north bay, the north bay -- i beg your pardon, the south bay. the storm began this morning in the north bay. it is winding down in the south bay, and over the santa cruz mountains. what's left of the storm ranks one on the abc 7 storm impact scale. so more scattered showers are possible this evening. it's already a wet commute and that's continuing, and there will be at times gusty winds. here is the forecast animation. you can see after about 8:30 or so tonight, this will be just about over except for some spotty sprinkles and then we'll have skies clearing or partially clearing overnight giving way to a sunny weekend. meanwhile in the sierra, it is still snowing. winter weather advisory in effect until 10:00 tonight. we expect one to five inches of snow and higher peaks and travel will be difficult there. meanwhile, i'll have the seven-day forecast for sunnier skies and warmer weather coming up a l

dan: the argument i put forth, in this case, it is the interest rate. while i think the markets would higher over the next couple of months. i think with the expectation that nominal and real interest ,ates should drift higher things are probably going to see an extended version of what we have already seen. they rotation for outperformance on the part of some of the cyclical areas. at the end of the day, if you are looking at the tech plus are now turning, out managing, and as a result, they are getting assigned a premium valuation to the rest of the market. higher interest rates and higher real rates, earnings and revenues well into the double digits. you are going to stay an attractive investment vehicle for a lot of the market. caroline: also the japanese stocks for example. from your perspective, does the u.s. remained the choice outside of covid or other areas? -- letmittedly, i don't me dodge the question by saying that i understand the arguments that emerging markets do quite know things that we all considerably, a lower dollar and the like. whe

dan? >> why wait, indeed? victor, thank you very much. really appreciate it. >>> let's turn to texas now where polls suggest the race is far closer than republicans would like. abc's marcus moore right there in dallas this morning. marcus, good morning to you. >> reporter: dan, good morning. the early voting numbers in texas have been truly extraordinary. i mean already the number of people who have voted has surpassed the total vote from 2016. more than 9 million people have cast ballots here in texas. and each and every vote is crucial because according to recent polling, texas is a toss-up state now. we did learn overnight a federal judge will hear arguments brought forward by texas conservatives who are challenging the 100,000 ballots cast at ten different drive-through polling locations in harris county. that's in the houston area. and that county is the state's most populous and democratically leaning county. and official there is actually expanded the voting options in response to the covid-19 pandemic. it is important to point out
