amelia earhart is a social worker from boston who comes next? you know in our quest to remember earhart or to solve the mystery of how she disappeared we seem to have forgotten almost everything about how she actually lived. and the fact of the matter is in 1927 and 1928 amelia earhart wasn't a famous pilot. she was a licensed pilot. but by her own admission, she wasn't doing much flying anymore. she was working at a settlement house. on tyler street in boston what people in boston now call chinatown? and she was helping new immigrants to this country. learn how to speak english. learn how to get a job. it was here at the settlement house in 1928 six months after ruth elders flight. the connected east coast businessmen would discover her including her future husband george putnam of putnam publishing and they would put amelia earhart on a seaplane sitting in boston harbor flown by men. plane that was going to be going across the atlantic. you know on this first flight amelia had no job but to sit behind the two men who were at the controls and ta

is this a file on where amelia earhart -- i don't see any of that.ee is may be some classified documents because we don't know if they were declassified or not and i say okay, he had something he shouldn't have and there's a process, this same process with every other president. merrick garland wants to burn the republic down and infuriate 100 plus americans over a leather bound box of documents and what is this? anchorman? a collection of leather bound books and find cologne? i'm not a comedian. but this is it, you're going to burn the country down over what? this? you better produce something. >> dana: one of the things is like a box of documents. i don't know if we'll actually see the box until they decide to make it. >> greg: i have to disagree with dan, this is bigger than watergate. bigger than 9/11, vietnam, the cancellation of the facts of life's. if he went home with extremely sensitive material and won't give them back in the lake -- why do you think you would do this? do you think he's planning on selling the secrets to russia or going to
