A few days ago on my radio show, "Coast to Coast AM" I featured the great debate —between a liberal and a conservative.
Author Howard Bloom who leans left, and columnist John M. Curtis who leans right, went toe to toe in a debate involving our upcoming elections, the economy, and the current COVID environment.
The U.S. is the world's leader in COVID deaths, and Bloom placed the blame squarely on inept American policies. He suggested that if the country had emulated South Korea (early testing, quarantining, and contact tracing), the American mortality rate would be far lower.
Curtis countered by remarking that "it's an absolute hoax . . . that the United States is doing worse with COVID than any of the other countries."
Curtis added that the World Health Organization (WHO) denied access to information about how many people actually died in Wuhan, China.
He believes there was an enormous coverup.
Bloom expressed concern that President Trump would try to push a vaccine through before it was safe, while Curtis denied that assertion and said such a product would only be released when the scientific community and drug manufacturer determined it was safe and effective.
Curtis finds it unreasonable that Democrats are concerned that Trump would not accept the 2020 election outcome.
He believes Democrats never accepted the 2016 results, and the entire national security apparatus was used to try and get Trump out of office, and impeach him on fraudulent charges.
Bloom characterized Trump as an extraordinarily dishonest and untrustworthy person —"as of four months ago, he had told 20,000 lies in office," Bloom alleged.
Curtis painted Joe Biden as a corrupt warmonger who is clueless about the economy.
Our "Instapoll" results showed listeners had a decisive preference for Curtis — 82.9%, with Bloom trailing at 15.85%.
