In this episode, Alex takes a break from politics to get into one of his passions — ART! It was reported over the last few days that a painting by Gustav Klimt, that had been lost since 1925 and assumed destroyed, had been found in Vienna. The painting is called “Portrait of Fräulein Lieser” and belonged to a wealthy Jewish family in Vienna. Alex talks about how the painting will be auctioned off based on agreements made from the Washington Principles. This agreement was designed to return Nazi-looted art to the descendants of those it was taken from. Alex rants about why looting and destruction of great works of art breaks his heart and discusses why movements like fascism and communism are devoid of emotion and warmth.
