. >>> joining us on the phone is peter ross with florida power and light. thank you for being with us. we know in the past hour the number of people without power has jumped to at least 300,000? >> yeah, frances. we've got a little north of 300,000 customers without power right now and we're seeing that primarily in palm beach county and the count that which we call the treasure coast. then we have it still affecting a lot of our customers. we have a million florida power and light customers who are in harm's way today and feeling the storm now, feeling it throughout the day. got a lot of work ahead of us today and a lot of people still feeling the brunt of this storm. >> talk a little about the number of crews you have out to accommodate this as you are expecting that number to jump, should say? >> you know, i'm not sure exactly, you know, what the feeling would be for that, but i do know we've got 15,000 men and women who are ready to jump into action here this morning and start reconnecting folks. we brought a lot of them in from out of state and positio

it's as if you need more evidence, here's peter ross nick a massachusetts professor of math. class. watch this. >> i will tell you that of the 12 elections, there never been -- it's never been more imperative that people go out and vote. this is the scariest election that i've had in 12 years. i am in the very unusual situation where my father was an immigrant and my children are immigrants. so vote for whoever you want, but vote for somebody who respects the fact that this is a country built on immigrants. i'm not going to tell you who to vote for, but vote for someone who understands that the goal in a nation, in a society and a caring society is to hold people together not to pull people apart. kind of being cute about it. but i'm not feeling this is funny. this is the most serious election out of -- in 48 years that i've been voting. do the math. right? >> do the math. there's the math lesson. he is a math professor. why is he talking about politics? >> clearly the student knew he wasn't supposed to be doing this. he's hiding the camera and then toward the end -- >> i was

what's new is that his advisers, peter navarro and wilber ross, outlined how the fund they're proposing would actually work. essentially they're saying private investors would put up $167 billion and the rest would be borrowed money. and the money would be repaid by the revenue streams from projects that they would be building. >> so john, how does this proposal compare with hillary clinton's? >> reporter: well, it's twice as big as hillary clinton's. she's got a $500 billion infrastructure proposal. a bunch of that, more than half of it would be direct public spending. but hillary clinton would also create a similar private fund, an infrastructure bank with $25 billion, to also try to leverage private investment. one of the key differences is donald trump's program would apply to programs with dedicated revenue streams, user fees on the people who consume it. hillary clinton's does not have that restriction, therefore it would be generally available infrastructure. some people might object to the privatization component in donald trump's plan. >> given how close we are to this election

. >> my must-read is "wall street journal," a piece written by wilbur ross and peter navarro. it's called "a vote for trump is a vote for growth." the point of this article is to offset what have been unfair, unbalanced assessments of the two economic platforms of both of the candidates and criticism that trump may have received for his policies just being to increase the deficit and that sort of thing. they try to push back against that saying that their economic analysis suggests that trump's policy is the best one. however, it's a a good attempt, but it falls apart on one line because in oir dynamic scoring, we found the positive revenue offsets for increased growth. lower energy costs and elimination of trade deficit. a rapid acceleration of growth leads to significant reduction of debt burden relative to gdp. i think that's the problem it comes back to. it's too easy to say the other part of our platform is we'll boost growth and offset the tax cuts help to balance the budget. that's where it falls apart. that argument. just saying we're going to boost growth and that wil
