Because we have a historic moment with the introduction and the nomination of Kamala Harris to the Vice President ial nominee, and we have a lot of big democratic stars who will be speaking, including nancy pelosi, hillary clinton, elizabeth warren, and barack obama. This will be an important night for the party to get an audience and introduce, harris. Introduce Kamala Harris. I am hoping we hear less attacks on the president and more about their governance strategy. David one thing we have not heard about is the issue of law and order. President trump will hit it hard. What is going on in some of our cities. We see it in new york, in chicago, in seattle. Kamala harris is in a particular position to address that, how we can police our streets and still not abuse some of the less fortunate. Jeanne this is what i have heard from moderates and more conservative friends who say this is a glaring absence so far in these last couple days. We know this is going on in the country around us, and yet they have completely neglected to address it. Kamala harris, a former prosecutor, the attorney general for california, she is somebody who has taken a lot of fire in terms of her work as a prosecutor. She is wellpositioned to talk about how we move forward at a time you have substantial numbers in the Democratic Party calling for things like defunding the police. How is the Democratic Party going to address that . Certainly the president is addressing it. He was at the border yesterday, and security is a major focus of the republicans. David thank you so much to jeanne zaino. She will be back with us tonight for our special convention coverage. One of the stark differences between president obama and former Vice President joe biden is there approached energy. Mr. Biden put forth an aggressive plan to spend goes to a trillion dollars over four years and take us entirely out spent 2on sees to trillion over four years. We welcome someone who has advised the Joe Biden Campaign , ceo ofy, mike garland patterson Renewable Energy firm. Thanks so much for being with us. Give us a sense of whether this is doable. 2035 is not that far away. Can we get to zero emissions and generate leading electricity by then . Mike it is a challenge but it is doable. I revert back to 2009 when we were in similar circumstances as kick started they and supported the renewable industry at we grew at 40 Million Investment in 2009 and 20 gigabytes of new renewable power. It is an ambitious plan. Industry is wellpositioned because of our infrastructure available to expand and grow quickly. I think it is viewed as part of the kickstarting of the economy that we can get going quickly and start to make investments and hiring people and build projects relatively fast. I think in the four year period, it would take a big ramping up, but capacity within the United States and some external deliveries would allow us to get there. David provided we can find the money, and 2 trillion is a lot of money, saying yes to people is not hard, creating jobs is not hard, can we get to this goal without saying no to people. I am thinking about fracking. We need to ban fracking . Should we be adjusting the tax rate so we are not subsidizing oil and gas to make this goal . Mike it is an interesting question it is an excellent question because when i was head of the Wind Energy Association in 2015, we proposed to phase out of tax credits for the renewable Industry Based on the assumption everybody would lose their tax benefits. That has not happened. The fracking industry, the oil and gas industry, the coal industry all have substantial subsidies. Since 1950, wind and solar has received 7 of the federal incentives for energy. Industry in 2015 and 2016, the last numbers i had that are sound, got about 15 andion ileum dollars, since world war ii billion dollars, and since world war ii they have been given tax benefits. It has distorted the market. We over time believe even now tax credits are not needed. What they will do is allow us to kickstart and get more done , then wehen we need would otherwise. Wind and solar are clearly the lowestcost new power supply anywhere in the world, whether it is subsidized or not. The idea that the fossil fuel industry is still receiving subsidies is unfortunate and is , therting the market mechanics of the marketplace to incentivize people to continue doing those kind of resources, developing and selling those resources. David as you know particularly well, there are powerful interests that align behind some of the fossil fuel business. Cutting back on those subsidies we are eliminating, could have a fax on companies but also on political issues. Fracking could affect pennsylvania, a key battleground state. Do you have a sense joe biden is willing to break those kinds of eggs . Mike certainly they are willing to break those eggs. The thing you know about joe biden is he cares about the working men and women of this country. He is not going to let jobs be and lost in those industries and ignored. He will take actions to support the labor and the Business Leaders in those communities affected by retraining programs, certainly very supportive of going into those countries and retraining people, Getting Better pay, better quality jobs. If you couple the hard decisions and once you need to do to help transition people into the new clean economy, you will get their support and it will not be the toughest decision to make on cutting that part of the industry out. David what would the Biden Energy Plan due for oil exports with United States and what might that due to the economy . Oil exports will transition over time. Invitedcky enough to be as part of the ceo conference at the vatican, where all of the oil and gas and Large Investment Companies were invited to the vatican to talk about these issues. Youve seen a huge transition in the Oil Companies already. Shall was terrific in some of terrific andwas some of the statements they are making. Dp has announced they are making a transition. Bp has announced they are making a transition. The Biden Administration understands there will be a transition they do not want to lose economic value exporting oil and gas. It will be a transition that over time they will have to change. I think the Oil Companies know it and they will stand behind that effort. It is just a question of timing, not a question of if. David great to have you. That is mike garland, ceo of pattern energy. Cass sunstein has a new proposal on a commercial a commission for voting integrity. Ons is balance of power Bloomberg Television and radio. Balance of is power on Bloomberg Television and radio. We go to first word news with Mark Crumpton. Mark democrats have nominated joe biden to take on President Trump in november. Biden received the more than 2300 delegates needed in a virtual rollcall that was a video tour across the nation.

Global news 24 hours a day, on air and on quicktake by bloomberg, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. I am Mark Crumpton. This is bloomberg. David . David thank you so much. We had some breaking news but im not sure what it was. One thing democrats and republicans seem to agree on is the election will be one of the most disputed in history, with the issues ranging from mailin voting to Voter Suppression to how to have a vote in the middle of the coronavirus. Here to talk about the important question, the integrity of voting in the United States, his harvard law professor cass sunstein, who is also a Bloomberg Opinion columnist and has a new proposal. Welcome. On top of everything i just mentioned, we also have a new Intelligence Committee report saying indeed, the russians, going all the way up to president putin himself, did try to interview interfere with the 2016 election. You now have a proposal about a commission. What is it . Cass what we need is a commission on electoral we have a commission on product safety and product protection. We require an institution that is actually capable of executing on that task. David what would be the point of this commission . How could it reform what we are doing . Cass it would have one job, unlike many commissions which has 12 or 30. The one job would be to minimize or eliminate interference with our election, and the minimal task would be to do semiannual reports to congress and the president and the american people, to the extent it is not classified, about what is happening. It would have the authority to make recommendations to congress and the president about how to respond, and it should also have Rulemaking Authority consistent with the First Amendment to try to ensure appropriate restrictions on uses of social countries intending to interfere with our electoral process. Mark zuckerberg has called for exactly that. Those who are worried, as we all should be, about excessive note socialshould media platforms are calling for this kind of help. We have the issue of attempts by foreign governments to interfere with elections. We also have a number of issues coming up to the election. Ive talked to democrats and republicans saying theres going to be more litigation over the selection than any other in history. How do you assess those risks and what can we do to confine them . Cass they are serious. I think we have to go one by one. There is the foreign interference risk where we give the apparatus of the federal government to check what happens , and we need social media platforms to be cooperating. There is risk of mailin ballots will not be counted because of the slowness of the male. The slowness of the mail. There is a small risk of fraud and error, both have to be corrected. The number one priority is make sure every vote counts. If somebody mails in a ballot at an appropriate time, it has to be counted. That is one. With respect to other risks about coronavirus, etc. , there are ways of handling that by making it easy for people to vote without going out in crowds. That has to be handled as well. This is primarily a state responsibility. That should be all hands on deck to make sure the vote is full and fair. It would not be a good thing if litigation ends up helping to determine the outcome in a president ial election. David all elections have consequences. Typically those involved policies and people influencing policy. You have a column suggesting there might be a larger issue, that is the structure of our government, specifically the role of our socalled independent agencies, something you know terribly well, because under the Obama Administration you served as the head of the office of information and regulatory affairs. Give us a sense of what might be at stake when it comes to the regulatory authorities and the difference between a Biden Administration and a Trump Administration. Cass this is technical but really important. Some agencies, if they have department in their title, they are controlled by the president. That is appropriate. The department of transportation, the head is an at will employee of the president. That is also true of the department of justice. There are other entities like the federal Communications Commission and the Federal Reserve board which has a degree of independence from the president , meaning the president cannot control their policymaking operations. That is important, because a president who is determined to skew things in his favor could control the fed not to promote the longterm health of the economy, but to promote the shortterm popularity of the white house. That would not be good. The federal Communications Commission would regulate has to be outside of political hands. The independent agencies are now in serious constitutional jeopardy. There is a view gaining traction on the Supreme Court they are constitutionally article, meaning they have to be removed. That is held in good faith by some people. It would wreak havoc with our apparatus of government. It would take immensely important parts of the government, whether you love how they are acting or not, and it would put them squarely in the political domain of the president. That is more likely to happen under President Trump then under President Biden. Independence of the independent agencies is more likely to be respected under President Biden by his own practice in the practice of the judges he would appoint. David lets be very direct about this. If i am running a company that is regulated by the sec, by the ftc, any of these agencies, am i happy or am i sad if these agencies are directly under the political control of the president . Cass all things being equal, you do not wanted under the president s direct control. It is more complicated than that , but you do not want the political apparatus of the white house to be in charge of what. Appens to you , your owndangerous political affiliation and whether the white house likes you will get caught up in the regulatory practice. The space between politics and the agencies in your favor. There are other cases where it run the other way, if for example a good relation to the white house you might hope you can press the agencies in your favor. From the standpoint of the american people, with respect to against a company that has nuclear power, we do not want that or turn on political consideration. David is such a treat to have you with us. Cass sunstein, professor of law at harvard, will remain with us for the second hour of balance of power. Still ahead, big news in retail. Big earnings out. What does it tell us about the economy . We are 87 days away from the election. This is balance of power on Bloomberg Television and radio. David this is balance of power on Bloomberg Television and radio. Polls show the republicans tend to see the economy is having bounced back, but the democrats are in doubt. This week we got big Retail Company earnings that may give us some light on which it is. Abigail doolittle is here with the report on the retail sector. Abigail it is interesting. We have mixed messages coming from retail. It is not clear whether the economy is bouncing back and will stay bounced back, or if we have a nearterm blip. Relative to individual earnings movers, it is a story between haves and havenots. Target and blows put up take quarters target and lowes put up take quarters. On the other hand, t. J. Maxx, the treasure hunting seems to have ended. They were doing well out of lockdown. It seems in the Current Quarter they see sales dropping 20 . Ross Stores Reports tomorrow. The Discretionary Spending which could help the economy power seems to be faltering. It is unclear. David apart from individual company earnings, what about retail sales overall . Are they back to where they were before the big downturn . Abigail they are. When the shutdown started retail sales in the u. S. On a month over month basis absolutely plunged in april, down 15 . Then there was a sharp snap back in may, up 18 . In july up 1. 2 , missing the estimate of 2. 1 . A little bit of a disappointment, but they are back to where they used to be. Out retail and consumers go and shop . That has to do with the virus and whether or not the stimulus gets past. If folks feel uncertain, they will save money as opposed to spend it, special and discretionary items. David thank you so much Abigail Doolittle for that report. Up next we talked to ohio congresswoman joyce beatty about the Democratic National convention and Kamala Harris. This is bloomberg. This is balance of power on Bloomberg Television and radio. Tonight is my three of the Democratic Convention and we will hear from senator Kamala Harris. To talk about that, we welcome back to bloomberg, the congresswoman from ohio, joyce beatty. Thank you for coming back. Tell us what you know of Kamala Harris and what you think of discrimination. Let me say, thank you for having me on your show. I am as excited as i am sure being ourbout kamala Vice President to candidate and we will hear from her tonight. I know her. I served in congress, she served in the senate. She is a member of the congressional black caucus. I have traveled with her on john lewiss funeral. I can tell you that she is strong, smart, strategic. If i were Vice President pence, i would not want to be debating hard. She has lived a life of success. She has done things against the odds. I think her life has prepared to see what we are going on this campaign trail and when she wins in november with joe biden. David mindful of her life story, there are two things that stand out. She is the first africanamerican woman as well as Asian American woman to be nominated for Vice President. She spent time as a prosecutor in San Francisco and california. At a time where cities are in uproar and at one point we talked about your city of columbus, ohio being in trouble. What do we expect to hear from Kamala Harris on that subject . How we policed our streets without abusing a certain class of society . Joyce i think what she will say is you have to look at what you are doing. We have gone through this if we reflect on history. There was a time where unfortunately we had three strikes and you were out. There was a time when africanamericans were being prosecuted and we looked at it because they were being prosecuted disproportionately. None of that has changed. Andle die with covid19 there are disparities and we are affected disproportionately. We make up 13 of the nation but our dying rate is 24 . I think what she did in the past at that time, she was still fighting to make a difference to say save families. You have to look at when she was coming up, women were told that they could not be district attorneys. That was something that was not in the round for you being a female in the realm for you being a female, let alone being a black female. They taught them they could do whatever they wanted to do. It is certainly her heritage of being Indian American and her , iter being from jamaica brings a lot of diversity from to the table. I think we will hear about that. When her mother became a single mother and she raised those children, her mother was a chemist. Her field for healthcare and fighting for us during this pandemic we have right now there are so many things she could use from the past and turnaround. She has never ran from her past and what she did and why she did it. Ofwas all in the spirit building families and helping those children be able to have a brighter future. Now, knowing that she is running for Vice President , which you have done things differently would she have done things differently . Im not so sure. Look at what she has been doing since she has been in the senate. Look at her leadership and management. When you think about her running the largest law practice basically in the country. It was the state of california. So i think that tonight we are going to be proud, we are going to be pleased and she will speak truth to power. She has never ran from that. There is another thing, there will be an army of people watching her, the traditional, the nontraditional, she also went to an hbcu, a historically black college and university, howard and University Howard university. You will have individuals from her university, from other hbcus, she is a member of affect lpha kappa alphakappa sorority. David the purpose is to get the two nominees and win in november. Give us a sense of ohio because there was a time not long ago it seemed to be a battleground state. It seems to have moved into the red column. How will it handle 2020 . Joyce you are absolutely right. Unfortunately we have gone from blue to red and we might be considered purple. We are a tossup state. I think the excitement and energizing people, if we get the vote out, i think well be saying again that ohio is one of those states that you cannot count out. I think we are starting to see that. That is why we are fighting hard against this president and the administration trying to deter folks from being able to use the Postal Services to request ballots. I think that is all a part of this administration eating desperate being desperate because we know with the bidenharris ticket, it will generate so much excitement for people to come out. Still across this country, more women vote. This is the 100th year of the 19th amendment. We have so much going for is now. We have white women and brown and yellow women welding up signs saying black lives matter. We have people reflecting on what it must have felt like to have someone have their knee on literally for 8 minutes and 46 seconds but figuratively, when we talk about this race and having a knee on our neck, we know how hard it was for us to get the right to vote as minorities and as women, black white and brown. I think it is going to work for us in ohio. David we can certainly hear the passion in your voice. Thank you for being with us. That is the democratic congressman from ohio, joyce beatty. Here is mark running Mark Crumpton. Kamala harris will make history tonight when she except excess denomination accepts the nomination. President trump raising questions about the future trivial with china trade deal with china. He says he does not want to talk to china right now. He called chinas handling of the coronavirus unthinkable. There is a stimulus deal. Bloomberg has learned the packets would eliminate the biggest disagreement between republicans and democrats and would include financial help for the Postal Service, aid to schools and money for businesses to keep their workers employ. Nancy pelosi suggested democrats might also agree to a smaller deal. No end to the violence in portland, oregon. Police declared a riot last night after the misleaders broke the windows of a county government building and set a fire inside. The fire damaged a lobby where the first gay marriage ceremony took place in 2004. The demonstrations have ripped through the city for three months since george floyd died in Police Custody in minneapolis. Global news 24 hours a day on air and on quicktake by bloomberg, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. I am Mark Crumpton. This is bloomberg. David thanks so much. Coming up, how would President Biden act as a leader . We talked with someone who served with him, the former secretary of Homeland Security. Ons is balance of power Bloomberg Television and on radio. David this is balance of power on Bloomberg Television and radio. The theme of the Democratic Convention last night was leadership. I spoke with someone at the highest level of government, first is a general counsel the pentagon and then a secretary of Homeland Security, jeh johnson. I asked him how the Vice President led as Vice President because they served together. I was in office, i made a point of having within my inner circle within the department of Homeland Security, people who i knew were going to get me the inhouse company line se views mirrored that of the larger public for example, on any immigration issue and have the pro enforcement types from ice, but i also wanted to have people who represented the views, immigration reformists, the activists, those outside the department of Homeland Security. When you get a range of diverging views, that is the environment for healthy government decisionmaking. When i was at the pentagon as the general counsel of the department of defense evaluating the legality of the counterterrorism operations, if everyone around the table and nodded their head, good to go, i would say, wait a minute, come on. This is a very serious operation we are contemplating. We need more discussion. Is anyone here willing to be the . . Skeptic willing to be the skeptic . , a president only hears what people think he wants to hear and not what he needs to hear and that is a dangerous environment. David leaders also have the urgentge often of driving on the important. It is coming across your desk every day and it needs the answer need an answer, when it comes to National Homeland security, what about existential questions, the ones we cannot afford to get wrong . First, any major what we cannot afford to get wrong, any risk of an attack, any attack that is of high consequence. Some are higher probability is, some are less, but you have to keep your eye on all of it. This is the reason why i keep talking about Climate Change and global warming. It is not always at the top of the inbox in terms of a crisis that a president or a secretary of Homeland Security or secretary of defense have to deal with. Has to deal with. It is a slowmotion emergency that tends to exist in the inbox but not always at the top of the inbox which is why it is so important for people in office, particularly in National Security who are dealing deal today dealing daytoday with one crisis or another, multiple crises in one week, to keep in mind the longerterm challenges we have two are Homeland Security, our public safety, our National Security and dont lose five of those purest to me, a was on mostoffice of the meetings on my calendar were meetings that i requested to address longerterm issues. Those are the meetings that were thrust for longerterm issues versus the meetings that were thrust upon me. David you served with biden so you got to see him in action. Give us your synopsis of him as a leader. Believe joe biden is a consensus builder. I know from many discussions with him that he believes that in order to get stuff done, you have to work with people on both sides of the aisle. He did that for 36 years in the senate. I believe he will continue that style is selected and i believe that is the correct approach. That is how i tried to operate when i was in washington as a cabinet official and a Defense Department official. You have to work with people across the aisle to get stuff done. Unless you happen to have a super majority in congress of your party, you simply have to work to build consisted among people across the aisle and reminded everyone that you were elected here to do the peoples work, not to just lay politics. I think that is the essence of how senator biden and Vice President biden led and governed when he was in office. David our true leaders born or built are true leaders born or built . Jeh true leaders are those who learn for the examples of others, but not necessarily emulate others. I have had the example of the advantage of observing really fantastic leaders, for example, robert gates as secretary of defense when i was his general counsel. At the end of the day, a lot of military leaders will tell you that leadership is being the best version of yourself. Bring your own style to office the vest version the best version of yourself. At the end of the day, you are left with only your own instincts about how to govern and how to make decisions. And so, to a very large extent, it is innate. You have to have the confidence of your decisionmaking and that is not something you necessarily are taught. I think it is accommodation of both. David that was part of my conversation with jeh johnson, former secretary of the department of Homeland Security. Coming up, talk with marc morial about a brandnew lawsuit against the Trump Administration and its management of the Postal Service. That is coming up on balance of power on Bloomberg Television and radio. David this is balance of power on Bloomberg Television and radio. I am david westin. The Postal Service has become ground zero in a battle on how we vote this fall starting with the president condemning what he calls reversal mailin voting and his head of the Postal Service decided to cut back on some of their operations. He backed off on that yesterday because he said we had to wait until after the election. In the meantime, there is a lawsuit filed by the National Urban league and we are joined by the president of that organization, marc morial. Thank you for being with us. Tell us about the lawsuit. Why did you file it . Marc thank. We have joined with our coplaintiffs represented by the Lawyers Committee for civil right and the washington, d. C. Firm of arnold and porter to challenge the unprecedented actions to politicize the Postal Service. This is a sad day in American History when the president reaching down through one of his political appointees seeks to completely undermine the system of voting. There may be seven states in the u. S. Where the voters in both states primarily rely on vote by mail. Vote by mail is relied on by many rural voters, older folders voters, people who may be working on election day and in the environment of covid, vote by mail becomes a safe option for people who may not feel like they want to go to a polling place even during the early Voting Period or on election day. We challenge him by saying he has not followed Postal Service guidelines, rules and regulations, number one. Number two, his actions have a Chilling Effect on every americas right to vote and americans have to stand up. This smacks of what happens in countries that we are better than, that somehow a person who has power can interfere with the election process because somehow they feel that they are disadvantaged politically by this elections process. We are asking the federal court to intervene. What has happened . Number one, mailboxes have been pulled up. Number two, sorting the scenes sorting machines have been taken out of operation settings. Number three, overtime has been cut back. Employees have been furloughed, pushed out, or laid off. It is clearly an effort right now when Many Americans have great anxiety, great concerns about their health would want to vote in this election, an effort to make it more difficult for americans to vote. We want the courts to intervene, but we want the people to speak out. David i take your point. Havent you already won this lawsuit before you filed it . You have said, ok fine, they said, we will make any changes until after the election. Damage has already been done. Taking mailboxes out of communities, that does damage. Those mailboxes need to be put back exactly where they have been, number one. Though sorting machines have to be back into place at every postal Operation Center those sorting machines. The postal employees know how to do this work. They do it every single day. They deliver thousands of packages, millions and millions of packages i should say and pieces of mail to americans. They deliver credit cards, they deliver checks, they deliver invoices, they deliver reading cards, they deliver birthday cards, they deliver valuable medicine. They deliver things every day. They know how to do this. But the process is being interfered in for political reasons. David lets go back to the status quo. Is that going to be good enough, that is to say, does the Postal Service have the resources if we really have a huge deluge of mailin votes . People are predicting it will be several times that we have seen in the past. Or is it going to be something the court cannot give you . Marc i think what the courts can do is order the government and order the Postal Service to ensure that every ballot that is postrly placed in either a box or brought to the postal mailbox, iput in a should say or brought to a postal office, finds its way safely, securely and on a timely basis to its destination which headquarters or a registration station or wherever the balance ballots are counted. This is what the courts can order the government to do an order the Postal Service to do and the Postal Service can figure it out. Right now, congress is debating a new covid bill and that new bill could easily include sufficient funds to allow for mailin ballots to be delivered on a timely, safe and secure basis. What is more important than american democracy . What is more important . David time is wasting because a lot of these ballots will be submitted in the future. Have you asked for expedited relief . Marc we have asked for summary relief, provided relief, an injunction against the Postal Service. It is our hope that the courts will take this matter up quickly. David fascinating. There will be a lot of litigation. Marc i expect many more lawsuits. We have filed one. I expect states to file an i expect many local jurisdictions and voters to file. This is unprecedented. We are in a Health Emergency right now and americans need to be insured of their right to vote. David really important point. A lot of people say this could be the most litigated election in history. Thank you so much to marc morial. Coming up, balance of power will continue. Tonight, we will have coverage of the Democratic National convention at 10 00 eastern time. This is balance of power on Bloomberg Radio and television. Mark i am Mark Crumpton with first word news. In turkey, there is good news that will usher in a new era. Bloomberg has learned that turkey has made an Energy Discovery in the black sea, most likely natural gas. It comes at a time of high tensions over territorial disputes with the recent cyprus in the eastern metta to arion mediterranean where turkey is searching for oil and Gas Resources in contested sources. Barack obama will draw on his experience as joe bidens boss to make the case for why the democratic nominee should be president. A spokeswoman says that mr. Obama will highlight bidens record under his administration. The former president argue that this election is, too important to sit out. No end to the violence in portland. Police once again declared a riot last night after the miss raiders broke the windows of a county government building and said a fire set a
