Steelers titans postponed. Is your nfl sunday in danger of being canceled and the virus hits home. 300 one day 500 the next. The real estate boom in americas suburbs. Good evening for tens of thousands, crisis hit tonight, debilitating life, furlough day for 30,000 workers at united and american airlines. For the area carriers, movies and hotel chains, restaurant and entertainment groups, momandpop stores, the reality is stark tonight after six months of hanging on, government release nowhere in sight, too many businesses can hang on no longer and theyve decided their employees have to go furloughs at marriott, uber, and more, on top of what we heard from disney this week. Last week Labor Department reports close to 800,000 lost their job, and since covid, 60 Million People have filed for Unemployment Insurance 60 million thats not just a number those are our friends and neighbors trying to pay the bills in the rolling crisis. Theyre the victims. Ask the government for help. All right, congress, lets seal the deal. Lets pass a covid relief package. Alley is one of the 33,000 Airline Workers bug furloughed today. I love my job. She built a life around it. Six years after she boarded her first flight, the paychecks just stopped. Will you wait for a callback, even if its years i hope it will be soon. Of coursethere arent many jobs out there. We met as flight instructors in phoenix laura and max woods are now both pilots for Different Airlines their future is uncertainly and unnerving. On september 4th, my husband and i opened the mailbox and we had both received our furlough letters from our airlines on the same day so we from separate airlines on the same day. We did, yes. Did you look at each other and go, what are we going to do . Yes, its overwhelming, the pressure of a young child at home and another on the way adds to that. Maxs job is safe laura could still be laid off in a few weeks. Union leaders fight on this is only going to continue to spiral down. When you start to unravel the affair line industry and that network, it becomes weaker and weaker. Some analysts think otherwise. Its really important for the airlines to become far more efficient when they can start to lay off employees or put people on furlough. That will help bring the cash burn down substantially. We could give away all of it and it wouldnt solve the problem. Imagine that, 750,000 workers working for free would not take care of the problems in the Airline Industry right now the challenge is ongoing, but brandnew for alley, who like tens of thousands of the others, has a simple message tonight. Set the political games aside. Help us. Well, both sides say they want to. The house is on track to vote tonight. Its disaster relief, victims who did nothing wrong need help. Disaster relief. A live report on whatever congress is doing coming up before we hit a commercial break. Words day that half of new york citys restaurants may be wiped out. Think of it, 14,000 bars and restaurants just gone. Some of nigh favorites already are. Dadio served great burgers until 4 00 a. M no more. Most are Small Businesses with fewer than 20 employees, and more than half of the workers are immigrants making on average about 34,000 a year Frank Holland in harlem with a Business Owner who says he might have to sudden down for good frank . Reporter its certainly a big concern for Business Owners like this one. Hes concerned about staying open and in business, where many of those who are his customers may lose their jobs. In recent days, instead of rice receipts pits, hes been stewing over reports of rising covid numbers. Your favorite restaurant may not come back. If theres a second wave, for restaurants that may mean is 00 , 80 of restaurants close. Layoffs that could impact his poor customers. Especially in mar lemont, workingclass america losing their jobs, thats who support us if they dont have a job, we wont be open. Its just that simple. Small Business Owners across the nation according to yelp from april to september, permanent business closures increased by 165 amir has seen his income fall sharply because of poor tips if his restaurants closes he would be out of much more. I would have to go back on mexico, or i dont know. Im an immigrant, so really receive any support, any help. Reporter katrina and her husband own a home and lifestyle home thats been hit hard. Things have been hard and theyre going to get harder. Until we get covid under control, were going to have hard times ahead of us reporter and shep, its been especially hard for lowwage workers, the people who make your food like the ones here according to the pew research center, nearly of them lost their jobs or had to pay a paycut. Many are waiting, waiting for elected leaders to find some common ground. Its been six months since the government passed the first 2 trillion package they spoke again today, still nothing they tell us, but a pledge to at least keep talking. Secretary mnuchin has 1. 6 tri trial cnbc ylan mui is live in d. C what is the problem . How far apart are they and on what what im hearing is the problem is size and scope. Moderate democrats have been pushing House Speaker nancy pelosi to stay at the table and keep talking and, of course, a bill that could pass the senate to be signed into law is the Gold Standard what were also hearing from sources in the center is that there have been five Straight Days of negotiations that have gone nowhere theyre looking at the layoffs, the kids who cant get back to school and looking at the long lines at the food pave and that 2. 2 trillion is the lowest they can go pelosi herself is saying this is not just dollars, but values and shes unwilling to take the path of least resistance. The white house proposal actually covers a lot of the same ground as the democrats, it just dole out less money first i would say nancy pelosi is not being serious. If she becomes serious, then we can have a discussion here offer by trillions of dollars. We raised our offer reporter shep, that is the political reality. The practical reality for so Many American families is this means theyre probably going to have to wait until after the election for another round of relief. Do they agree on anything reporter thats the irony here, shep there are actually lots of places where they do agree they bond want to send direct checks to families, support Small Businesses, aid to the airlines they both want to make sure that kids can get back in school and send the schools more money. The reality is were in an allornothing fight and weve got nothing. Is this the start of a second wave of layoffs for many, the anxiety is real. Steve liesman is here. How much worse does it look without a stimulus bill . Do you know yet from the data . You cant know precisely, shep, but we know that really strong and massive government relief packages help keep the economy afloat in the early months, but still theres 11 Million People that dont have a job that had one before the pandemic that, by itself, is a pretty bad recession on its own maybe more could be at risk without a relief package yet the economic numbers look good people without a job are not lives the same thing as they are on wall street the best way to think is if the entire nation was hit by a hurricane, the people who have been able to work from home, theyre coming back fast and they have come back fastest, the low ground, the frontline work ers those jobs may never come back so youve people make millions, some left destitute by this pandemic. We just hear ylan say there may not be relief until after the election thats more than a month were talking about people, millions of them, who live paycheck to paycheck what about the rent . The food the kids this is looking dire. Weve an unusual recession, in part because that government stimulus meant there was not a lot of foreclosures and a lot of missed payments. Theres also mortgage forbearance. Ill give you an example just this morning the government reported a 2. 7 decline in personal income. Thats the Third Largest monthly decline since 1959 where does the decline come from the absence or elimination of government benefits. Steve liesman, thank you. Covid is at the root of this, about you new today amazon reports listen to this 19,000 of its u. S. Workers have tested positive in the last six months for context thats one out of 72 of the frontline workers further, more testing is coming. 50,000 u. S. Workers tore tested every day by november. De deirdre bosa has more. This is the first time amazon is coming out of data to put that number, nearly 20,000 workers who have tested positive into context, that is out of about 1. 4 million frontline employees. Amazon says that that is about 40 lower than expected, based on the general u. S. Rate of infection. We should also note this disclosure comes months after labor groups, politicians, regulators and us, the media, have asked for these numbers the company also providing, as you mentioned, an update on testing. It says it wants to test 50,000 and expects to test 50,000 workers per day by november. Back over to you deirdre bosa, thanks.

This school was build in 1902, more than 100 years old. For the first time a teacher who worked here for several years, came back to see the damage herself. Heres what she had to say. It was a wonderful, Friendly School everybody was so happy, friendly all united it makes me sad to see that this is whats happened to it reporter the bad news is shes not going to be the last person to see destruction like this it does litter sonoma and napa counties, the hard of wine country here, more than a dozen vineyards have been damaged or destroyed.

Those are the conditions firefighters are working against. Theres nothing they can do to combat that. Theyre trying to bring more men and women off the backup lines onto the front lines theres about 18,000 working, but its not enough. Theres so many wile fires in california that they really have been exhausted working these 48, 72hour shifts straight before they break for a day and come back for four, five mohr days of what youre seeing here.

Nationwide can help the greens get Lifetime Income because their son kyle is moving back home and could help set up a Financial Plan for mrs. Garcia. And he explained how nationwide can help mr. Paisley retire early and spend more time with his pal, peyton. And their new band. Exactly yeah. Dont forget the band. I havent. 33 days until the election were following the money. Joe biden is outspending donald trump in a big way. The Biden Campaign spent 153 million on ads last month across the country, nearly triple what the Trump Campaign spent the nbc political unit reports the Trump Campaign has spent around 4. 5 million since labor day. Ali, spending a lot t. Pounding the pavement tell us. Reporter spending a lot, pounding the payment and raising a lot of money in the process. The Biden Campaign confirmed since that raucous debate, they have raised over 30 million thats the kind of fundraising haul thats allowed them to be spending as much as they have been on tv while theyve been spending on tv, the Trump Campaign has been capitalizing on grassroots organize i organizing this is a triedandtrue organizing tactic, one that the Biden Campaign largely opted out of. In the process they leaned into digital organizing tools while they were doing that, they sort of argued that pounding the pavement wasnt as effective today they have reversed course that they are putting back in play grassroots organizing. Thats a bit of a reverse always, but thats a way of making sure all their bases are covered as voters start tuning in. Ali vitali on team biden, thanks. Now to the Trump Campaign. Hallie jackson is here hes been outraised and outspent the other battle is to get voters registered. It looks like hes on that one. Youre right about that you talked about the battleground state, and republicans have registered Something Like 135,000 new voters versus democrats coming in about 57,000. Theres a difference here, and why is that . Well, its the thing that you and ali were just talking about, the famed ground game, the idea that President Trump and his campaigned 1rd people doing door knocks the Biden Campaign is just the biden team says, listen, weve been having meaningful conversations in other ways, virtual ways, ways that people feel more comfortable with it feels like the things theyve been doing are paying out. Statistics provided to me show that about 15 to 20 they say of people who showed up hadnt voted in 2016. And the Trump Campaign still talking about the debate, i sawed president tweet about it today. Hes been tweeting about it today, yesterday, hes definitely thinking about it he believes he did a good job. He says he thinking he did a good job publicly thats what youre hearing from his campaign and folks close to him as well you know theres obviously a dichotomy, and privately people i have talked to close to the campaign are a little concerned, right . Their best hope is that that debate performance in which President Trump was particularly aggressive did not turn off any voters it seems they have so at this point theres a lot of uneasesiness theres a lot of eyeballs on the next debate, but youve seen some of the president s republican colleagues over on the senate side, for example, talk about how they wish he had been a little more forceful and clear in that confirmation of, for example, that white supremacist group, the proud boys. Yesterday the Debate Committee suggested they may be making changes. Sources say there may be a discussion of cutting off microphones. Both campaigns say theyre ready to show up people the next debate is a town hall format, they think that serves both of their candidates well, a chance to be more one on one with voters. Hallie jackson live in washington, thank you. Ideology steers a lotof us in politics, right are we a more tribal nation . Were measuring the money tonight, but it wont matter if everybodys minds are made up, if everybody is on a team. Im for ole miss and whoever is playing lsu. It doesnt matter the day, that does not change. Theres actual data on it. Steve kornacki, what are you seize . This is the average daily Approval Rating for donald trump, his entire presidency what i want to show you here is look how tight the range is. Hi highest Approval Rating was 47 . This year just as covid was taking hold. The lowest was 37. Thats a range of just ten points between high and low. Where is he right now . About 45. 5 . This range of just ten points, we have never seen a presidency like this. Put this in comparison these are all of trumps modern predecessors, all of these got at least 20, 25 points higher than his at some point the 60s 4, 40s, 30s, trump is s in the tens. Its barely been budging the same is true in the president atrace the biggest margin, joe biden has been ahead over ten points, the smallest lead has been four. Trump has never been closer than that right now its at about seven, this president ial race has been operating within a sixpoint range. Trumps approval in a tenpoint range for 3 1 2 years. Peoples minds have been made up, by and large. Except for the undecided. I havent really seen them, but what is moving them . Maybe about 6 or 67 7 of t group. What do they think of these two candidates from the cnbc change poll they dont like biden that much, 36 favorable, but they dont like trump even more 27 favorable, 59 unfavorable the swing voters, they dont like either, but a little less hostile maybe thats the way to say it for biden than trump.

That red line is the number of deaths thats low compared to the spring thats why so many europeans are saying enough is enough. Let us out matt, who is telling us they want the restrictions eased now . Reporter its business people, politicians, even some doctors.

Reporter with deaths and hospital seays so low, frances socalled second wave looks more like a ripple than a tsunami that has some doctors wondering if the socalled second wave exists at all. I asked, are with negligence second wave . No, not at all, he sid the notion would be a reappear usages or resurgence of a lot of cases were not seeing anything like this. You know, shipp more doctors say the second wave is real and the french government has vowed to live with the virus. They say no matter what, even if they do impose the restrictions, the problem is unclear if the French Public would abide by that. Theyre getting all kinds of mixed messages thats obvious theyre aware that deaths are a lagging indicator . First the cases go up, later people start dying reporter yeah, but theyre aware of that, of course, but you know, in the next couple weeks weve already started to see those cases go up, probably four weeks ago we probably 125r9ed to see the number of people in hospital, in the intensive care centers that started to go up just a bit, and were starting to see really worrying signs from the government there was a press conference tonight. He was saying that the signs are really bad and theyre thinking about reimposing a more thorough full lockdown here in paris. Well hear that decision on monday.

A lot of communities seek care at lower rates. So i am concerned that in this is groups of women and others like them, that they may not be coming in for a routine screening.

Reporter this was the scene from a frontdoor camera at a newly listed home. We knew we would be getting offers for it, but it was not like the ohm and volume of interest. They put their house on the market in august immediately got questions for showings. 301 days, then 500 the next day. Reporter they got so much interest, they decided to screen potentially buyers for financials first, and then line them up around the block. For six days we show showed the house. From those 53 views were 23 offers a lot came from manhattan, brooklyn and queens, which is i guess not typical. Not so typical before the pandemic, but a growing trend now as urban apartment divisioner seek more space suburban homes are in high demand getting one on which means a bidding war. Vanessa cruz lived in a 65 650squarefoot apartment for close to two decades relishing the urban lifestyle until covid struck home. Being stuck in there was really weighs on my mind. She had covid herself, recovered and decided it was time to get out. God forbid i should get sick again, i have space to move around and am not trapped. She returned to new jersey where she grew up, made an offered off home, but made out to other bids. She won the next home, promptly made the move. By the end of july, home sales were up close to 40 annually, and the supply of homes for sale was down about the same. Because, like her, more people are now willing to pay a premium for peace of mind. There is, of course, a limit to how much people can pay. Home prices are going up and much faster than wages in most places if theres any increase in mortgage rates, that will also bump some buyers out of the running. While supply is down in every price range, the worst crunch is at the low ends of the market, which as we all know is where those critical firsttime buyers live. No doubt.
