Will Durst and Willie Brown join Producer Paul “The Lobster” Wells at Epic Roasthouse, a fine new Pat Kuleto restaurant managed by Pete Sittnick at 369 The Embarcadero on San Francisco’s scenic waterfront. This is part one of our final pre-election broadcast. We start with the Presidential race, Will and Willie’s predictions, the polls, the economy and how it has swung the race in Obama’s direction. We also give historic perspective to the current financial crisis with a look back to similar events going back before 1929 to the current changes that allowed sub-prime mortgages to be sold as “Triple A” securities and traded through banks and hedge funds. Technical difficulties prevent Episodes 13 (Ah Ha!) from being seen in the video version in it’s entirety. Segments #13 are being combined with those from the video version of #14.
