joining us now to break all this down is the university of oregon professor and bloomberg opinion columnistst start big picture, which is, is the economy more robust today than a lot of people would have guessed 1, 2, 3 months ago, especially given how elevated our virus levels remain? >> yes. i think it was surprisingly strong given our expectations a few months ago. as you mentioned yo earlier, we are seeing fairly strong rebound among the pmi which is showing significant demand building in the background. we have seen inventory sales ratios drop back to where they were around the beginning of the crisis. that suggests there is room for inventory rebuilding going forward that could be fairly significant. an housing market has really -- and the housing market has stood out as something giving us a strong signal about where the economy should be headed or is expected to be headed. we can look at housing and say this is the economy. this is one of our best leading indicators. that is giving a pretty clear annal that, wow, there is you numerous of underlying enormous amount of underlying dema

it's that even i titled an issue but let's take university of oregon, for example. a young lady i know that you've heard of sabrina, she was the most popular athlete on campus and just in herbert -- just in herbert, the quarterback, she would've made more money than he did in terms of name, image, and likeness legislation. i just want to make sure we're not focusing so such on the grid aspect of it which is a big deal but make sure we're focusing on the legislation as it relates to the athletes while they're at the schools who will be generating the majority of the revenue. >> let's play that out, george. i thought of rudy, i guy who never played the country a social phenomena. i can see some kid somewhere out there who just people fall in love with for whatever reason. >> correct. >> example, , social media. i have friends, friends and make lots of money on social media because they have been following. a lot of this college athletes have that. a lot of athletes and other sports have it but -- >> the public -- [inaudible] we will now have the next panel come forward

i heard today from the president of one of our public universities, our four-year university, oregon state university in corvallis. they are estimating a massive loss of revenue. and so they need this bill which would direct support for our four-year institutions, and they know that the state, if it's going to be able to sustain its support for the universities, the money doesn't come in the front door and out the back door, we need to provide help to the state government. and i know this isn't a blue-red issue. i know that blue and red governors are saying the same thing. i know blue and red county commissioners are asking for the same help. so i say to my colleagues it is unacceptable, it is morally unacceptable to just say this is another thursday, all is well. we have waited 11 weeks to act after the house. what's another week? what does it matter if a family that has been able to pay its rent or its mortgage or its utilities or put food on the table because they got $600 a weak extra help in unemployment, what does it matter if they lose their home? what does it matter if they ar

the sect of state in two of the states that have universal vote by mail, washington state and oregon, are republicans. california had vote by mail. your colleague congressman garcia was elected that way. and the nevada secretary of state is republican. and my point is i understand you don't like the idea of universal vote by mail as "nightly news" is proposing it but i'm talking abouting policies and president trump is saying they're corrupt inherently and there is no evidence of that. >> and i didn't see the president' speech today but i've heard him talk about in the past, whether somebody is voting in person or by mail, that you're protecting the sanctity of that vote. and picture i.d. is something we require in louisiana. a lot of states have that, too. pelosi's bill would have taken that away, the verification of the i.d. so let's make sure if somebody wants to request a ballot, they have to right and we're going to protect it and by the way the post office ensured that will be prioritized. they have all of the money they need to carry that out properlily. i think that is one of

universal mail-in voting. all of sit in the mail. colorado, hawaii, utah, oregon state and washington, have done this way for a long time. i don't recall it being a problem in the past. the nevada law would man date a minimum of polling places. the last thing i want to talk to you about, i want to ask people if they can fill out their ballot of the home and drop it off another the polling place. is that safest way to make sure it's counted in. >> therery at of different ways. some of it, you have to send it by mail bng. some of it, you have drop boxes and collection and some of them are doing what nevada is doing and there is a securitization process to make that the person who signed the ballot is the person who is having the vote counted. so states have a lot of experience in dealing with this. the five states you mention ready ones that had it in place without a glitch for many years but there are many other states that have been trying the system out for many years with the same result. so the important thing is to make sure, amid a pandemic, where there are p

>> universal -- you don't like universal mail-in ballots, like you have in utah where they've never had any problems that i know of like they have in washington and oregon where there are republican secretaries of state, et cetera. you say that there's something wrong with that. but you are acting as though all voting by mail is universal mail-in. and it's not. for instance, florida -- >> jake, hold on just a second. >> it's not my narrative. it's election law in florida. >> and he doesn't say he has a problem with florida mail-in ballots. here's the interesting thing is when we look at it -- >> but that's the point. >> what's the point? i missed it. the difference is, is we want to -- >> more than 30 states -- go ahead, sir. >> we want to make sure that every ballot that goes to an individual voter actually has that chain of custody where it goes to the individual voter. they actually can attest to the fact that they are voting and that it comes back and it's counted for them. anything that you do to disenfranchise voter or to affect that, we're against. if it doesn't affect that, then the president is supportive of it, i'm supportive of it. most ameri

of states with universal male voting where they -- universal mail voting. nevada just announced this weekend, but other states include states like utah, washington, oregon, etc. and these are states that are run by republicans and democrats. they have been doing this for a long time. they are a handful of states that require an excuse to do mail voting. you can request a ballot if you have an excuse and in many of those states, election officials fearsaid that covid-19 would count as an excuse in some of those states. the majority of states, including almost all battleground states offer what is called no excuse mail voting or no excuse absentee voting, and these are essentially the same thing. this is when a voter has to request a mail ballot sent to them specific to that election. that ballot gets validated against the voters information on file -- the voter's information on file. they then fill out the ballot which has a lot of verification they can return that ballot either by sending it back in postal mail or delivering it to a drop off location. that is the way it is being done in states like georgia, florida, pennsylvania, ohio, michigan, etc. -- ita

oregon. and that level of security seems to suggest that you think what you're doing, which is what most states do, more than 30, is safer than universe i'm not willing to concede that ground. i know the president has been out saying there is all kinds of fraud with universal mail-in balloting and those are the words of the president, well here in pennsylvania we're already in federal court where a federal judge has said to the president's campaign, put up or shut up on your fraud claims. document those very claims that you've been alleging through your tweets and in the media. we have yet to see that fraud that he keeps tweeting about. so we're actively engaged in answering that -- that specific question you're asking, jake, right now in federal court here in pennsylvania. >> i know you're not conceding that there has been widespread fraud because there is no evidence of widespread fraud but i assume that you think it is safer to do it the way you do, yes? >> no, i just know that this is the way that the laws were set up in pennsylvania. passed by broad bipartisan majority to say you could show up on election day and you could vote b

universal mail-in, including utah, including colorado. everybody votes by mail in those states. in oregon and washington state. and they've had no problems of fraud. >> that's right. there are a few things here. one, let's just talk about new york because the president was really zeroing in on new york, claiming that the problems that they are having there. and they are having problems, and this is about the democratic primary, which has a couple of elections still ongoing. and there were real issues with the mail-in voting there. but even though there were issues, there is no evidence and a lot of independent observers and people in both parties are looking at this, think that they were criminal, that they were fraudulent. there are things that need to be fixed, but nothing nefarious, or at least nothing widespread. i talked yesterday to the governor of arkansas. i can't think of a state that is as red or more red than the state of arkansas. he's fine with mail-in voting. they're going to try to expand it, and they are working on it in his state. he doesn't think there's anything fraudulent about it. they're going to make sure that that is

oregon. >>> president trump announcing he is blocking funding of the postal service from mail-in voting. yesterday he said he would not approved $3.5 billion for election resources because he opposes universal mail-in voting. he repeated those assertions on fox news this morning. >> they need that money to have the post office work so it can take the millions and millions of ballots. >> the president says he's not putting up mey or seotin ande' puinp for talse health of our democracy. >> eight states including california are mailing ballots to all registered voters. polling places will still be open for in-person voting. >>> november's election could be a record breaker in california. the secretary of state's office says nearly 21 million californian there's register to vote as of july 3rd and that's more than 83% of the eligible population. it happens to be the highest percentage in the past 68 years. >>> a celebrated bay area artist whose sculpt urs you can see around the region will have her works commemorated in a new o . her work will be featured on a set of forever stamps. the postal service unveiled it of the origami hey there. we're all afraid to go there. nobody wants to talk about

jason johnson, professor from oregon state university, and margaret carlson, come lulumist the daily beast. doctor, what do you think about the clash that did not get a ton of time in this briefing? the president, to be clear, did speak about the virus and other issues in his presentation, but many of the questions went in a different direction. i would forgive viewers for thinking whatsoded relatively s. >> that's right, ari. she was is an extraordinarily widespread virus, over 65,000 new cases today, and i think she is in her own way trying to navigate that political thread of trying not to displease the president but also trying to be one of the few people that's actually still allowed from the task force to be prominently displayed on weekend television and news shows. so i don't see anything wrong with what she's saying. but unfortunately the reaction has been yet again another kind of dismantling of i think the credibility of health and science and it speaks to a president who refuses to acknowledge kind of the country aflame around him. and yet we are still looking for that national leadership desperately so more than ever. >> and jason, speaker pelo

universal vote by mail which is mailing ballots to all registered voters in a state, that is going on without any serious problems for years in utah or oregon and there is no evidence ofost master general, an ally of the president, has agreed to testify before congress next week. phil mattingly is live on capitol hill. and what is this legislation that democrats want to pass and could it solve the problem of all of the mail delivery delays? >> reporter: well, it will seek to address the problems and works in two frames. first it would stop or block the operational changes that the post master general and his predecessor put into place that have been responsible, at least according to many constituents of the lawmakers, for those slowdowns in delivery. it would also supply $25 billion for the post office and this is a huge issue, one that goes further back than the last couple of weeks or months. they've had major financial issues for a series of years now. the idea behind the bill is to prop up the postal service to ensure there are no issues on vote by mail but other issues, veterans who receive prescriptions, where constituents have raised alarm to lawmakers. jake,
