Adopted Kids stuck in Haiti - State Dept not doing much for 100+ parents
I have a co-worker who is in an incredibly difficult situation regarding his adoption in Haiti. He and roughly 100 other parents have kids that are already through the adoption process dont have Passports/Visas have been stuck in limbo since the collapse of the Haitian Gov. They have been receiving mixed messages from the State Dept, and during a recent Zoom call, they contradicted themselves after giving the parents false hope that they were getting the kids out. I am trying to draw attention to this as it is a crisis and no one seems to have any answers. They are engaged with their congressmen/senators and are going through proper channels. The behavior of the State Dept has been abysmal, they have been dismissive, obtuse, and are clearly out of touch with the reality on the ground. They were giving advice to sit tight, when my friends' child had to be moved twice due to gangs. During their last attempt to go to the embassy, there was active gunfire between gangs. His story is compelling and deserves to be amplified. My hope is that a little attention could shake the bureaucrats into action.
Al Jazeera documentary
I've been watching you since Rising, and signed up for Breaking Points when you started. I am one of your few over 50 viewers. You talked about protests at college campuses in today's episode, and how they are being labeled as terrorists and violent. Right after watching, I see a TikTok showing parts of a Al Jazerra documentary showing "friend of the show" Marshall Kosloff, bragging about how he got $50,000 from a Israel lobby group to "astroturf" the protests in attempts to smear the protestors to the public. This is serious deception, and I truly wish I hadn't seen this. I know this wasn't the two of you, however, and it seems like you make efforts to be transparent! I just don't want some quality college kids getting hurt.
New york times
How many times does the New York Times have to show us that any news reporting it does is entirely in service to adding weight to it's propaganda mission before y'all and other people doing real journalism stop singing it's praises, stop giving caveats to the entirely legitimate criticism of it, and stop treating it like working there is anything other than a stain on the credibility of anyone with that on their CV (as they are either propagandists or willing tools to increase the effectiveness of propaganda)?
Watergate Conspiracy
Saagar, I was hoping to hear your response to Tucker's conspiracy about Bob Woodward and Watergate on Rogan's podcast. It seemed interesting but you had made a comment earlier in the show recommending a Bob Woodward book so I have no idea. What are your thoughts- worth looking into and if so, what are your recommendations?
