pacific can begin extracting those minerals. one of our viewers, an associate professor of the region university of science and technology believes that deep c mining is a necessity. so i will listen to what to say and then stick around to see if our guests agreed when it comes to the. the question is this needed other more pros and cons when it comes to deep mining? i think there are more pros, because if you look at the, the world's land mining industry today, many of the, the big deposits are getting empty. it there are a lot of issues regarding and, and work environment. and i think that it's also the chair to give the whole world a chance to do mineral extraction of such important materials. i mean, i think the issue here is that we need to have multiple options or supply it just like with energy. my fear is that we will go down the path of what happened with nuclear energy. the activists community, well intentioned, as it was, the conflict of nuclear weapons and nuclear energy. we ended up with making nuclear energy on the

adrian: i would not do that far in a small open economy in the south pacific. but it is really straightforward why we are having to do what we are doing because our economy has been growing strongly. inflation pressures are rising and we are at maximum sustainable employment. not rocket science. what could happen to the exchange rate to date given the nature of the global shock. it has not been a relative difference between countries. it's been all countries. i don't see that changing at all. safe to say i appreciate the exchange rate. the overarching uncertainty of this pandemic has certainly been keeping exchange markets pretty contained, so the more the exchange rate does the work, the less the interest rates so we can observe. we cannot control. kathleen: one advantage of the fed announcing a tapering or tightening with governor or would be the dollar might keep strengthening and that might take a little pressure off your currency should you decide to go ahead and make that rate hike in october. one final question. if you move in october, is it possible you

that's one reason why john kennedy went to the south pacific, so he was aware from that woman in washington. this was a story that pearson picked up and sent to walter winchel. eventually, they fell out over mccarthy. pearson became a ferocious opponent of mccarthy's. winchel became a supporter a cheerleader for mccarthy. and eventually destroyed winchell's career, but their friendship fell apart as a result of that. >> thank you. interesting. okay. i have one last question if anyone has one more, this is your chance. another question from catherine miller who also says thank you so much. she's working on her thesis and looks forward to using the book this summer. her question is, what were pearson's thoughts on nuclear weapons? and did that change over time? or did he really not think much about nuclear weapons and nuclear policy? >> there is not a lot -- he was a cowarrior to some degree, and he bought the cover story that came out that the intelligence agencies were putting out that there was a missile gap this the 1950s. he is has a book called "is america a second-class state now". so

he eventually secured a navy commission in the south pacific. but he did not see any combat. that was to his regret, because people like john f. kennedy became war heroes and he did not. he returned to california after the war, won a close battle for congress for the house of representatives in 1946. where he gained national prominence as a tough congressman who supported the house committee on an american activities, which i am sure you write about, allegedly disloyal and misconduct of people suspected of having communist ties. after two terms, he won a seat in the u.s. senate, and became dwight eisenhower's vp. lost the battle for presidency against john f. kennedy in 1960. ran for governor of california and lost. move to new york city to practice law. and then jumped back into the political arena in 1968. he called it the great game, and he beat democrats hubert humphrey in a tight election that year. as you can see here, nixon was almost pugilistic at the president. he viewed himself as someone who needed to fight to stay on top, he battled constantly with congress. as he
