mike bloomberg himself was part of a very big effort in the last month to get those fees paid for a numberid it work? did they get registered, did they vote? >> certainly, stephanie. from the data we see, you have an incredible amount of enthusiasm with voters, particularly in the state of florida. you see that in communities of color. it's material. the total number of former felons who have been reenfranchised, it's not something that you can readily go find in the data. so i can't answer your question specifically. but what i can say is that enthusiasm across all communities of color within florida, a rapidly diversifying state is very material for this election. it's something that's going to distinguish 2020 from 2016. >> this is also a last-ditch effort. can you talk about what republicans have done in the last few years in the state of florida in terms of organizing, activating, and getting more people? and i'm not talking about felo s s, registered to vote? >> florida has a tradition of both voters in parties being open to voting early. so let's use yesterday as an example. 700,000

we launched with the mayor mike bloomberg and bloomberg philanthropies a contact tracing app.lmost 1 million people have downloaded it. we've done it with google and apple. where a person can download an app and find out if they've been exposed to a person from the app. so it's about getting smarter. use technology better. and making government more competent to deal with what we know is coming, which is an increase in the fall. >> you mentioned shutdowns. small fitness centers still not open. small restaurants say there's no way they can survive at 25%. how come big box stores are making more money than ever and we've lost thousands and thousands of small businesses. do you need to re-evaluate exactly how and what is shut down? >> when you -- stephanie, you're right. that the basic point that there are inequities if you will. this is done from a public health point of view, not an economic fairness point of view. we are reducing congregate settings, right? you want to reduce density. that then has a different effect on businesses depending on their business model. but it's --

they're short on cash quite frankly and there's news that mike bloomberg who is helping fund joe biden's efforts in florida is putting in some last minute money to back up biden in ohio and texas too. two states that trump won fairly comfortably in 2016, but is now having to play defense. and with trump not being able to police the airways with ads what does he have? he has himself and the rallies. that's the one strategic advantage is his advisers concede he can be out there. of course, it's a double-edged sword as we have been discussing for weeks and months the large-scale rallies of course some have been traced to surges in coronavirus and of course we're seeing the covid-19 pandemic explode in states across the country. but there's a sense talking to both campaigns, i have talked to people both inside and outside the campaigns in the last 24 hours. publicly the trump people are still bullish and the democrats are quietly confident. that's why we're seeing biden in georgia today. kamala harris in texas later this week and biden going to iowa. another state that donald trump won prett

mike mckee, bloomberg's international economic and policy correspondent, is here. what were your biggest take aways? michael: that was the biggest take away. today, he went a little bit farther than he has in the past in saying that congress should -- we assume he is talking about congress because he didn't mention them specifically -- but he said doing more is better than doing less in terms of additional stimulus because the economy can always absorb more, but if you don't do enough, that stretches out the recovery and people suffer a lot more. a very strong statement from him. he went on during the q&a to repeat his view that now is not the time to worry about the budget deficit. now is the time to keep the economy on the right course. guy: what should we read that this is the fed chair saying this? this is the man in charge of monetary policy basically saying, don't worry about it. spend more. get on with it. mess around. what should i take from the fact that that is coming out of jay powell's mouth? michael: it is definitely a get out of jail free card for con

there's one man to ask, mike mckee, bloomberg's international economics and policy correspondent. michael: read into it what you want. the numbers for ism do come in at a headline level lower than the last month. 56 last month, 55.4 this month. it would suggest a be a little slowing, but that is the statistical anomaly probably. it isn't a major change. we see drops in new orders and production, but those were very healthy. for for new orders, 61 production. it is not positive. there is still some contraction, but it is up to 49.6% from 46.4%. it does suggest some progress in adding back some of the jobs that were lost. customer inventories is an interesting category a lot of people has been what -- a lot of people have been watching. do you need to increase manufacturing to replenish those inventories? that would suggest that you do. new export orders at 54.3% is up a point over the month, so it looks like we are starting to see a little bit better news from around the world. again, all of these changes in the numbers, and it really doesn't matter probably too much what they show

it's essentially trying to resurrect old mike bloomberg coalition and moderate with more liberal viewsing some order to chaotic running of a city of their mayor de blasio where we have massive crime now with covid, we have a massive budget deficits and we're going to have for many years so ray mcguire financial square skills will beh needed but what we know running for mayor is different in paper than it is in actuality ray looks really good on paper he's a very smart man but he's going to know going up against real politicians not just wall street guys never run for office before and already from what i understand the political advisors are digging up dirt are trying to dig up dirt on him. i think he's most vulnerable not so much personally. but for where he works right now. he's been at citi group as a vice-chairman for about 15 years i think he got there in 2005. and citi group is a very controversial bank neil, it was bailed out several times during the 2008 financial crisis. also it does business all around the world it does business with the saudi royal family one on the store fo

world, the federal reserve speaks to bloomberg and the fed president of chicago charlie evans says he welcomes 2.5% inflation in the u.s. evans spoke exclusively to mike bloomberg, adding more fiscal stimulus is needed. think the economic recovery has been pretty good. it has been a little quicker than i was expecting back in june when i submitted a forecast. i had been quite nervous about, there is a normal recovery when we get back to the level we were before this. sometime in 2022, may be. though the covid caseloads have been very high in the arrests, the deaths of been around 200,000 more. last importance report, how much more quickly we recover after this, but i think we are trying to figure out where the labor market is going to settle out, how much improvement we are going to get in terms of bouncing back before we are closed down and how much recessionary dynamics we are going to be faced with next year? i do think inflation is going to be weak. i don't think it is likely to be persistent, but we will have to see. you said you anticipated more fiscal stimulus. can you give us a picture of what we would see if we don't provide additional stimul

that by the way is slightly more than former new york city mayor, media mogul mike bloomberg.his four-month campaign for the democratic presidential nomination. biden has spent nearly $250 million more to run tv spots than president trump who has dished out 342 million in this latest cycle of ad spending. it is a lot of money. now biden has the money of course to burn thanks to a surge in fund-raising but trump's re-election campaign predicting that biden's advantage in the ad wars is being neutralized by the president's ground operation. we know how energetic that ground operation is. it will be really ramped up this week. in fact already in pennsylvania. but certainly when it comes to money, stay in the basement. spend like a drunken sailor. that is the strategy of the biden campaign. stuart: on that note about the energetic trump campaign. listen to this, he is holding three events in the battleground state of pennsylvania. there will be two rallies. one other event. that is an active day. tomorrow he stops in michigan, nebraska and wisconsin. "real clear politics" average

and that's why mike bloomberg is investing $100 million into the race there.st talked to the trump campaign about the big gap in fundraising between donald trump and joe biden. joe biden is fundraising way ahead of the president right now. what impact does it have on that key state, katie? >> well, it allows michael bloomberg to buy a number of advertisements they can put on the air in the last two weeks in the push for the election. that can be very helpful. both campaigns have different strategies when it comes to getting media. the trump campaign is campaigning and doing events, not just president trump but his surrogates for months now. that might not be a tangible or physical dollars that are being dumped in but they just have a different approach when it comes to how they are going to win those votes. they have been registering voters in places like florida and other swing states as well. it is something to compete with. michael bloomberg coming in at the end is something the trump campaign is paying attention to and having to counter with money they wou

let's dig into the details with bloomberg's mike mckee. michael: important to realize this is a diffusion index that basically asks companies, what are things like this month compared to last month. there is a bit of an improvement. the level of improvement has slowed some. but that is a reasonably good number because we see business activity, which is sort of the same of production in the manufacturing index, up to 63 from 62.4, and new orders up. again, this compares with the last month. we were at very low levels, so the fact that things are expanding doesn't mean we are back to where we were. it just means that things are gradually getting better. the one thing everyone has been watching his employment. this report comes out too late to influence everybody's view on what the payroll report was like for august -- for september, rather. the new employment figures crosses into positive territory for the first time in about six months. that is up from 47.9. all in all, we are seeing strengthen the numbers here. the supplier delivery number
