America is not open to Europeans
Hey Krystal and Saagar - could you talk about the seemingly confusing policy decision which the White House has taken in closing the US to visitors from the US despite the European Union allowing US visitors? Here is a story on same topic: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/10/world/europe/us-travel-ban-european.html I would love to see this covered on the show, best regards from a European fan of the show.
Sagaar's state department relationship
Hello! I'm an avid listener and supporter of your great work! Saagar mentioned in his monologue on the 8/19 show that he had been invited to a meeting with the state department in 2020 related to Afghanistan, but could not report on a lot of the details. Saagar - can you clarify what your relationship is with the state department? Were you there as a journalist? Why could you not report on the meeting, especially being a journalist? Do you have a conflict of interest to disclose? Thanks for always supporting open and honest journalism!
Who sould we vote in California recall election?
Dear K&S, I am a Democratic-leaning resident of California. I have voted democratic since I was naturalized. But the current state of our state has me extremely worried. Poverty, homelessness, socio-economic divide...the list goes on and on. I am reluctant to give the governer a pass, just cause there is no better option. Please advise! Thank you Tariq P.S: Love your work!
"Breakthrough'?
Hey Krystal and Saagar. Could you please discuss the use of the fearmongering term ‘Breakthrough’ with regard to COVID cases among the vaccinated. It implies the vaccine is less effective than expected (it is not – no vaccine works 100% of the time and I’ve never heard of term used with regard to the flu or any other disease). It’s also yet again a headline grabbing excuse to downplay or ignore the comparatively mild experiences of those infected to unvaccinated sufferers. Thanks, and keep up the good work.
CFR derangement syndrome
Do either of you see the Liberal establishment agreeing with Neocons on the most recent Fall of Kabul being Joe Biden's heel turn as something bigger than a grift. Do either of you notice that there is real fear from actual intellectuals and people in the know that there will actually be WW2 level atrocities if America does not continue to pride itself as the globe's police?
