a survey by the university of chicago found 35% of us spend the time we gain from having no commute onork. 15% of us spend that extra time doing things around the house and another 8% of americans use that extra time gained from having no commute to fitting in a second job. walmart, the nation's largest retailer, has told store managers to take guns and ammunitions out of display cases. you can still buy weapons at walmart. you have to ask them to bring them out of the back. walmart says it's a preventative measure as it worries about looting and unrest. it's done this before. it did it after the killing of george floyd. >>> fisker, the elected carmaker, will start trading on the new york stock exchange. it got there in an unusual way, something called a special purpose acquisition company so a spac. you'll see more and more of this. explaining what a spac is while we try to wake up, get our coffee and get out the door, maybe not the best use of our time. i'll explain it on our podcast sand hill road next we are. we speak about the future of flight. you can get my most secret travel ti

there was a university of chicago study that came out that found that 76% of workers who received unemploymentce got more than they would have otherwise gotten paid. this is the underpinning of morgan stanley's bullish call, saying households have a lot of cash to spend in lower income households tend to spend more. you think this type of policy is better? distribute the cash to lower income households so they can actually go out, spend, and that will support the economy the most? 100% but a lot of people who received the benefits received more than they would've gotten under normal pay. that is the reason the household balance is better. that is why nonperforming loan balance has gone down. that is constructive development. making a decision as to which is the right way to go forward in terms of additional stimulus, clearly what we are trying to do is not a traditional macro economic stimulus because we are getting over a covid divide where incomes are being restrained because of lockdown type environments. therefore it is a natural process to try to replace that through these kind of transfe

argument that china or other countries are most at fault that is according to a new poll by the university of chicago harris school of public policy and the associated press. the research found that 56% of americans say that the u.s. government has substantial responsibility for the handling the pandemic and that compares with 47% who placed that much blame on the governments of other countries and only 39% who say the same about the world health organization despite the president's health care, the 2 candidates for vice president are still set to meet face to face this coming wednesday. >>in their only debate right now there has been no indication. it will be postponed or canceled, but officials say they're in the process of implementing increased safety precautions, including making the 2 candidates. vice president mike pence and senator kamala harris of course stand 12 feet apart during the debate as of now penn said harris. both remain covid-19 negative, they'll face often salt lake city wednesday night and there's been late word that there will be some sort of plexiglass between the 2 of them on

. >> i was just, thinking i was in graduate school, at university of chicago, in 1968, so in the thick of much of this stuff, and i was just thinking 1968 for me, and for many of us i dare say is kind of like having a sore tooth. you know that it hurts a lot, but somehow you can't stay away from it. and i wonder if you would comment, on the violence and a lot of the, some of the weatherman, were in graduate school with me, and i don't know that they really got going in 68, but that was it and i was very's birth attic with the demonstrators, at the democratic convention. and i've been in chicago long enough to know being glendale, but i don't go, but i wonder did icky what do you see as the effect of the violence, and protests and do you tend to see the more positive, but they also turned a lot of people off. >> there was a commission, that was conveyed to study the riots at the democratic convention in chicago. there was a bipartisan commission, with all kinds of people in those days, who are always on those commissions. and they reached a very clear conclusion, they called it a police

joining us now is the assistant professor of history at the university of chicago. the author of "bring the war home, the white power movement and paramilitary america." professor, i'd like to begin with what we just heard with this sheriff, local sheriff in michigan. what was your reaction to that? >> you know, this as many parts of the story harkens back to a much longer history of white power movement and militia activism that gives us a road map for understanding the onslaught of what seems just like a crazy amount of news in the covid moment. here we have a local sheriff who is defending the right of a militia to enforce the law in some capacity. now, all 50 states have laws on the books against exactly this. militias are not allowed to do the work of policing. they are not allowed to do the work of law enforcement or soldiering in any of our states. and some states have additional restrictions against things like parading in public with firearms, intimidating with weapons or conspiracy to deprive others of civil rights through intimidation, say, at the polling

there was a study in june, i think, by the university of chicago, the areas that were pretty much adjacent to each other and across county lines or state borders, that had different policies, on restrictions and so forth. they found that only 7% of the economic flaws, 7% was a cause in restrictions. the rest was because people were concerned about the virus. those are just a few of the things. to say that our policy now isn't working is absolutely correct. i agree completely. but that's a strong end. because we don't have a policy. the white house has refused to follow the advice of public health professionals. you know, it would be nice if we actually went out and tried to follow policy of public health professionals have called for. you know, it just doesn't work. >> dr. bhattacharya -- yeah, i'm sorry. >> go ahead. >> i was going to say, dr. bhattacharya, isn't one of the impracticalities that you're advocating is that so many households in america today are blending. you've got the grandparents under the same roof as the kids home from school, home from college, and even if you allow t

me now is one of the authors of that study casey mulligan at professor of economics at the university of chicago served as chief economist for the white house counsel of economic advisers from 2018 to 2019 is also the author of the new book you're hired untold successes and failures of a populist president. casey mulligan it's good to see you. before we get to joe biden let me ask you where you think the economy is right now as we recover from covid? i think it's coming in stronger than a lot of people predicted. >> the predictions were pessimistic but i think they look back to the previous recession where the recovery took decades pretty much and that is not the right benchmark. we have a good foundation now and we have learned to live in a situation and when we have more cures or even a vaccine we can get all the way back but we are more than halfway back. i would say three-quarters of the way back by labor market measures in gdp measures. you know not having all the kids in school is a drag on the labor market. the parents, some of them need to stay home and can't do their normal jobs. paul:
