familiar with the bible and i a poor everything about the florida of our pre- born and we know it as it orson. >> host: gloria, let's stick to the topic. >> caller: hello, inner regions down here in florida of course our governor is an unfortunately full denial along with president so when we consider things like rolling out the vaccines and things it assumes concern and there's talk about the international courts coming after both our governor and others because her to immunity is basically genocide and promoting nets. were specifically to your doctor there his outfit does research in support and because of the history they've denied aerosols and it is aerosol so there is a questionable history there so they minimized tracing, masks, distancing, testing and i'm concerned that they are minimizing air filtering because the cdc has come out and said that it's safe to tral in airlines which is a confined environment for a couple of hours which is similar to classrooms and they say it's only safe if you do roughly 20-30 times air filtering and there is probably a belief you can't do that in the c

look at consumers yet we're consumers in trouble yes we have it as and they recovered yes i think the orson remaining areas of concern and certainly we've saw we saw the lowest think of and ironically the highest think of individuals suffering more i mean that is quite natural like what we typically expect. an economic downturn because that's where the job security is the lowest and at the high end people or more be able salaried and the business owners and it businesses city have taken some strength when we look at business to notice that although this is the numbers again are back to 2 good relabel so so that's not you know that's not bad news at all on a on a go forward basis kristoff where we're running very short on time so just asking for if they feel that we should mention the election of joe biden in the us what's the overriding feeling of the impact on of that on the south african economy well the stock market has taken that he has really rebound so well and the rant i think is that basically international statement has improved significantly obviously the international outlook on

orson welles got fired from his radio show for speaking out for isaac wickard.hole story of what happened to him became politicized and became part of the political conversation in a way we are feeling exactly the same way now with george floyd. the alger hiss story breaks during 1940 election. sadly there so much talk in washington and people all over the country trying to figure out how is there a communist conspiracy infiltrating washington? what is the fact, what is the conspiracy theory. these are conversations there having in washington and all over the country among the electric in 1940, serving that feels relevant today. >> to relevant. >> i know. fbi on betrayal of a major presidential political candidate with regard to a possible russian conspiracy. here's henry wallace come such a fascinating picture. i could look at this picture forever. there's so much to see. but was wallace a stooge for the kremlin and moscow? was a? now we know he wasn't but again this is the conversation 1940 and that's relevant today. this is the berlin airlift. truman launches
