Suggestion: follow-ups to important stories

Dear Krystal and Saagar, This is less a question than it is a request. I have really appreciated your focus on stories that legacy media tends to pass over (or cover quickly and move on). For example, your ongoing check-ins with the folks at Warrior Met and updates on the strike were great (along with your other segments on labor, unionization, and strikes more generally around that time). Unless I missed it though (pardon me if I did), I don't recall a segment on the end of the strike and the outcome for workers. Similarly, I really appreciated your coverage of the train disaster in East Palestine. I recall you doing a segment a few months ago on the stalled legislation regarding rail regulation and federal aid for the victims. It would be great to have more updates on what is going on on the ground, to keep some attention on these people after the legacy media has forgotten about them. In general, I'd love to see more updates on the stories that (in my view) make this a unique platform: the stories about labor issues and unions, the stories concerning the effects of corporatism, mergers, and deregulation, and follow-ups with organizers and local leaders whom you have interviewed when their issue was getting more national attention. I would gladly take more segments of this type in place of commentary on asinine takes from the pundits at MSNBC and the Daily Wire or speculation about VP choices. Thanks for your consideration. Best wishes, Joshua

Saagar's argument on social democracy and homogeneity

Saagar, When you and Krystal were discussing the insane costs of health insurance in the US and possible remedies, you expressed skepticism that northern European-style social democracy could work in the US. Specifically, you cited the homogeneity of the Nordic countries as a reason why their version of the social safety net works there but might work not here. Are you talking about socio-econimic diversity? Cultural diversity? Partisan or regional divides? I wasn't quite sure what you meant and would like to hear you expand on this. Best, Joshua

More details on Krystals view of what would solve the immigration issues in the country.

Hey Krystal and Saagar, long-time fan here. I'd like to delve deeper into Krystal's views on immigration. Specifically, what changes does she believe are necessary for the US to achieve a functional immigration policy, in her opinion? I tend to align more with Saagar on this issue, but I'm interested in hearing Krystal's detailed perspective. What key issues should be addressed beyond the symptoms like the immigration backlog? And should factors like economic hardship or gang violence be considered valid reasons for claiming asylum, given the traditional requirement for persecution by a foreign government? Thanks, and keep crushing it!

Interview with RFK VP Nicole Shanahan?!

I am an independent voter, but typically more on the conservative side. This woman seems much further left than I would normally be into but her views have really got me interested in a Breaking Points interview with her to see what she's really all about. Also, I just feel like their campaign could use more amplification. I would love it if you guys were able to get an interview! Thanks!

Can we get an update on the Argentina situation?

Did president Milei cut all the programs he said he was going to cut? What is the real result for the people/ budget? I have seen a few reports that inflation is on the decline there but I am curious to know more about the results. You guys have been doing a great job lately, I really appreciate it!
