5:32 pm
government is committed you know you can be sure that hollywood will be following year we're hearing well. now what i find hollywood is they caught between a manufacturer which had a stroke. but i think equally it's a propaganda factor. long after i 1st heard about it in the news i still couldn't believe this was this really how the united states sees the history of forward too but there it was the official white house page on a social network and it's clearly stated that it was america and great britain that defeated the nazis during the 2nd world war without even a word about the soviet union and the version on the official taliban web site looks even more discouraging there it turns out that world war 2 was started by germany and the soviet union it wasn't russia but france that took the brunt of it

5:35 pm
we need to check your office and this is why the higher rank an american diplomat tells us and stop gossiping and stop listening to it we're here in a sense as guests of the soviet government not going to believe that they trust the united states to find until a prove otherwise and mazing. in fact the film a semi documentary it was based on a book written by a master davis himself so we're not talking about a fictional diplomat here but a very real one who was so impressed with the soviet government that it seems he was ready to forgive a lot. of water source i q do. you wish to from your studio is just bad and they got up to 5. but i don't know thank you. thank you. c.e.o. who do plenty of those who were there i believe said that history will record you as a great builder for the benefit of mankind it is not my mr davies out of 5 plans were

5:51 pm
a group of private companies and yet it seems like the government finds ways to influence the movie make an industry and i just can read my head around how they actually pulled this off by these publicity trials is show trials stalin understood how they do that hitler understood how to do that well the united states under truman and eisenhower also understood added to that. untrained and intimidating hollywood begins to promote an entirely different image of the soviet union. let's be honest have we anything like it and russia you know can you imagine what the jets would be a little like that. what a film that pokes fun at the behavior of soviet paragraphs abroad was shot in 1939 but it turned out to be most useful with the onset of the cold war. oh my

5:53 pm
not. the hollywood began producing a spate of. anti-communist films during this time with the same propaganda averages now by the average idealistic about anything the women. are they were beautiful and they were beautiful they were nymphomaniacs now my students find them laughable but at the time they were taken seriously as movies like i was. i married a communist i read moscow guilty of treason the red menace this was a terrible time in america in 954 the united states and great britain released an animated film called animal farm just based on a novel of the same name by george orwell its production was sponsored by the cia which was very interested in the anti soviet subtext of the story which is about
5:54 pm
a farm and the big who seized power there. but by the sixty's and seventy's relations between the us and the with the star had already reached the point of the time and this was immediately reflected in the hollywood pictures the soviet union was still in the present and as a friend of the united states but he wasn't presented as an enemy so it was more like the united states than the soviet union could cooperate against the bad guys look at the james bond movies that's a classic all the drama where there would always be a russian agent who would be the tune and the cia people would be 'd wearing the visions of him but the glue is cooperating again the real enemy.
5:55 pm
relations between the countries began to deteriorate again in the eighty's after ronald reagan who had been actively anti communist even when he was a hollywood actor became president of. united states even legendary movie boxer rocky billboard played by sylvester stallone entered the fray by taking on the daunting doped up soviet fighter ivan drago and they proceed to follow the capital with capital one though it's nice that i both of seen that done that air force india from the warner boys resort of mr mason with the lead on i'm the 2nd beagle say this to say this because there's plenty of people just. not as numerous still to come there's. a mysterious. number just aren't suitable to. follow the policies of the state department the pentagon well they get a lot of money from the state department and the pentagon the best they found the pentagon to have a lot of say in in works of hollywood ya. somewhere drew

5:59 pm
a minimum wage doesn't guarantee you a job. but if you get a job and be paid that wage is precisely that guarantee that means you're less likely to get the job and so i would predict probably over a 1000000 people would lose their jobs if the minimum wage were doubled to 50 now they want to phase it in so maybe $800.00. would be differentially in communities or a lot of black mississippi lower wage states and. the
