The most important issue. The blur of information we are getting, the effect on the markets, the effect on the nations politics, it doesnt matter. The pandemic statistics, the cases, the hospitalizations, and yes, rising death rates are front and center. Jonathan couldnt agree more. The conversation is so familiar to everyone sitting in london, in europe watching this play out. You start at 10 00 p. M. Curfew you start to limit dining. Then what . That is the concern for a lot of people this morning. Tom im going to use the hands up. That has proven so effective on radio worldwide. Think of it like three hockey bucks of death in europe. Inis only one hockey puck the United States. Europe is way out front of this, and i am frightened by the idea we will begin to see the deaths expand.

President ial election coverage my name is donald quarter and ill be joining you for the program its certainly a nail biter as vote counting is resumed in key states to decide the u. S. President ial election. Now 2 days on from election day and america still doesnt know who will be handed the keys to the white house everything depends on the key swing states that have yet to declare.
