Colorado River Shortage
Would love to hear both your thoughts (and Counter Points) on the Colorado River water crisis and the Lower Basin Proposal that was just submitted to the BOR (https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/biden-harris-administration-announces-historic-consensus-system-conservation-proposal). Seems like the feds are just paying the lower basin states to "conserve" water for the next 2ish years and then we'll end up back in the same situation. Water in the west is such an interesting and complex issue so would love to hear your perspective. Thanks for all you do!
It feels like Arrogance
There are more complaints on the RFK interview than anything i've seen on Breaking points. It feels like Krystal is being arrogant by not responding to her listeners. TO not even mention it comes across like she doesn't think she needs to "sink down" and address the common people. I love this show which is why I keep asking this question. WE do not need another CNN/MSNBC/ABC/CBS platform. They have plenty of outlets. Give us our independent real journalism back.
Response to subscriber and audience feedback on RFK interview please!
I posted a response to this episode in the episode's chat (copied here), but I'm hopeful you will respond to the feedback you are receiving from your paid subscribers. I am curious to hear what each of you thought about that interview, particularly your handling of your guest. My personal feedback: This episode was hard to watch/hear and I'm incredibly disappointed in Krystal's lack of professionalism, overall lack of respect for their guest, and poor "listening skills" as a host and interviewer. This is not "The Krystal Show" and I would have been interested in hearing RFK's answers to her questions if she could have just gotten out of her own way and let him speak. I am not interested in watching incurious, self-focused interviewers, and this was not the time for a Krystal monologue (a not very good or well-prepared one at that). I've been a subscriber since the beginning and will stay because I believe in the program's vision, but Krystal's performance was simply "cringe" as Saagar and Krystal like to say. I am much preferring episodes with Saagar, Ryan, and Emily these days. Saagar and Krystal, I hope you can refocus on the thoughtful, curious, genuinely exploratory stances you held at the beginning of your BP endeavor.
