Mastriano/Fetterman Voters?
Hello Krystal and Sagaar! Big fan since the Rising days! I am a current PA resident and, as we get into election season, I find myself thinking about the possibility of some voters backing Mastriano in the gubernatorial race and Fetterman for Senate. Now, I understand the two candidates are diametrically opposed on both Stop the Steal and reproductive rights, but I see this kind of voter existing wholly existing as a rejection of the elite affect that both Josh Shapiro and Dr. Oz offer. Do either of you think this kind of voter exists? What does their existence or lack thereof say about voters rejecting elite affect at the ballot box and what does it say about voters’ attitude toward policy? Thanks!
Superfund tax on chemicals
Mainly geared toward Saagar with all of his discussions on refining in the US but how much impact could this tax (in effect today) have on rising gas prices? Listed taxable chemicals include HF and sulfuric acid—key components in refining, specifically alkylation.
Criticism on recent show
Not a question but a comment. I listened to your most recent show where you brought on Madison to discuss nuclear energy. It felt a little like Fox News. Krystal came off as more interested in making her point and it completely shut out your guest. It reminded me of when Fox had Cornell West on and they just talked over him. It wasn’t the bad but it reminded me of it. You beat her up before she even made her case. I value both of your opinions and I know you’ll continue with good work.
Uvalde Conspiracy Theory or utterly insane?
First of all, thank you and congratulations on your service to news analysis and commentary! After seeing the Tara Palmeri segment and the implication that mind control experiments are on-going, it has made me wonder about Uvalde the application of these technologies and the continued uncovering of the coverup. I hope these thoughts don't get me canceled from Breaking Points, but the trail of coincidences of the Uvalde shootings seem very strange. The mentally unstable shooter who must have been susceptible to suggestion (whispers in his ears). Law enforcement “sacrificing” the children, the attempted coverup, the law enforcement intimidation of the mother who saved her kids, the fact that none of the authorities have been arrested or questioned in public — as you have reported threatened with arrest for trying to get the story, keeping the surveillance videos from the public, and the NRA convention in Houston the next weekend. Then we find that Uvalde is the hometown of Mathew McConaughey flirted with politics and who has been floated as a candidate for governor of Texas. Because I voted in 2016 from abroad, I registered with Democrats Abroad and get many emails asking for donations, sign petitions, etc. Many potential Democrat candidates for president have been "suggested," including Kamala, Pete, Amy, and even Liz Cheney. There have been a number of POTUS from Texas: LBJ, the Bushes, and contenders and pretenders: Perry, Cruz, Beto, et al. Being a latent conspiracy theorist, I posit that Uvalde was a two-pronged action. Rally support for gun control with the focus on the NRA the next weekend (didn't really happen) and give Mathew McConaughey a chance to speak out and see if what he said would resonate. Beto had his chance Sept 2019 to rise to the occasion and that didn't really move the needle. Mathew McConaughey would be able to play the role (he’s an Oscar winner), given the right script -- and he can write, as well -- but his statement didn't really excite anyone. Oh well… I may be going to far. What do you think?
