Do you want to know how to put this whole 'age' problem into the bottom drawer? Biden should raise the retirement age to, say, 92. This way he can say he's got more than ten years to go before the official retirement age. Then when he forgets things, he can say it's not a problem because people at his young age of 80 often get things mixed up and it just shows a busy mind.

Dear Ms Crystal and Mr Enjeti, Thank you for bringing new zest to television news. Both of you are sharp as tacks and give a no-thrills look at the world unfolding around us. I am watching from the other side of the world in a country not yet invaded by Russia, so I get it that, well, a lot times I probably don't get it, in regards to what's going on in your country. One thing I do know is that President Trump will only have a four year presidency. I also think a Joe Rogan interview would make Rogan not only look out of his league, but it would ruin what he represents: the rogue interviewer. The daring dude in clinging slinky sweat shirts who smokes joints on the air when the laws are in agreement, and packs a 100 million dollar winning smile He would be accused of being stoned or out of it, and his questions would be short on quality and long on middle-of-the-road inquisitiveness. it would rub off on wrong on the other candidates. It would serve Trump well, but only because he shamelessly muddles through any news worthy sound bite on sheer audacity and love of anything that kindles power, contrariness and confusion and especially glory-talk about his feigned accomplishments. He is aserial lier who lives in his own reality. Rogan would put a shine on his tarnished image, but only until Trump was fact-checked afterwords. All in all, a Rogan interview would come off like a professional wrestling match; a lot of hot air would get tossed around, there would be a lot of laughs, but at the end it would only be a make-believe event that would make America look like a hotdog democracy that got sold to the lowest bidder. In short, I'm going on a bit long, excuse me, because it's hard predicting the future before it happens! Seriously, we can all breathe easy again. Trump will be out. There will be a return to humdrum government speak, but at least America will have the wind in her sails.

Isn’t the real red flag in the whole lab-leak theory discussion that when the Wuhan Covid-19 virus was known to be lethal by the Chinese authorities and scientifc community, that China nevertheless allowed planeload after planeload of people from Wuhan to fly out of China to destinations in Europe and the USA and other places in the world while forbidding any planes to fly to other parts of China? This alone is a staggering piece of evidence that points to a prior knowledge of the lethality of the Covid-19 virus. That the Chinese government were aware of how deadly and contageous the virus was is beyond doubt, but what is most troubling is why they would allow planes to leave Wuhan fully knowing they were sending out many people who were most likely infected with Covid. The lab-leak theory may never be proved because the crime-scene has been sanitized beyond recognition, but this detail will never go away. Italy has lost a generation in what was one of the most catastrophic epidemics that country has ever faced, America has lost almost 600 thousand people, India is losing thousands per day, Brazil the same as well as the entire world, but only a realitively few number of people have died in China from a virus that keeps mutating into more deadlier forms.

Dear Crystal and Saagar, First, do you need three a's in your first name Saagar when two would be more economical and esthetically... Just kidding! Isn't it odd that no one in your business of reporting the news has shown what Britain is doing about taking care of its people. There are no stimulus checks. Everyone keeps their job. If one doesn't work, he or she recieves 70% of their salary until the pandemic is over. Why on earth can't America do the same? Everyone would still have their job, and if they couldn't work because of the pandemic, they would still have a job and still get a paycheck. It beggar's belief that the US Government has to vote on sending out bail-out money to people needing help. It shows that the American system needs an upgrade. This pandemic thing is going to be a lot worse next time around most likely, so it's time to try something that works... like the British system. Lastly, Speaker Pelosi has to hold out because Trump's stimulus includes heavy tax relief for the super-rich. Boys and girls, it's all about politics in your country, but Speaker Pelosi is a front-line worker and no one sees the information she does. Give her a chance to show her strategy. As an overseas viewer, it's too easy for me to criticize, but I think you should focus on what's happening in California with the explosive homeless situation. People are losing their minds over seeing their neighborhoods being invaded by tents and people who have lost all sense of decency by relieving themselves openly on the sidewalks and streets of suburban neighborhoods.

Kristal and Saagar do an excellent job of reporting. It's always a pleasure to tune in. Both of you don’t hesitate to point out anything that looks shady. The origin of the Covid-19 virus is no exception. The Chinese didn’t send a spaceship to the moon to gather moonrocks recently for nothing. No one will be blamed for anything to do with Covid-19 is what I predict. Saagar, you have carved out a great career for yourself on TV. You are in the public eye and will be for decades more all of us hope. It would be wise to get your lower teeth straightened for a better visual appearance. One tooth sticks out a lot and will only look more out of place as you get older. Now, they can fix crooked teeth very discreetly. It’s advice and only advice.

Thank you Krystal and Saagar for the latest 'erection coverage' before your presidential election next week. This reporting has finally brought you to the global audience you so rightly deserve. As I sit here across the world from you in a country going back into lockdown, I think we can say for certain that what we are talking about here is 'Lockdown Fever'. I think Jeffrey Toobin should be forgiven for obviously being cooped up all these months and this was the zoom call that broke the camel's... whatever. But what Jeffrey Toobin has done is to probably opened up a whole new career for himself as a legal analyst in the porn industry. If he plays his zoom calls right he will be able to not only offer legal advice to actors and staff, but also star in his own films! XXX execs are probably already offering him star-studded salaries. We can also imagine he has recieved millions from National Enquirer for an exclusive zoom call and interview. Get ready for films like, "Let's Go Toobin'.

Dear Krystal and Saagar, You make a great team and your reporting is over the top. It should be noted that Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine's father, who in spite of being charged with fraud in Britain but committed 'suicide' before being convicted, was buried as a national hero in Israel. Of all the American Presidents, Trump is Israel's most fervent supporter. He is looked on as Israel's greatest friend in the world today. They don't care what kind of president he is as long as he supports Israel. Trump will never let America's most trusworthy ally down if they request Ghislaine's charges be dropped. This is also a case with so many loose ends that it can never see the light of day because national security of too many countries will be violated. It is something that too many governments do not want to see become a TV sensation and global inquiry into the goings on of prominent politicians and business people. It's an opinion.

If what Saagar is saying is true, it's a sad day for your country. Why is truth getting masacred in America? Thanks to Krystal and Saagar there is hope the truth will finally be known.

Dear Ms Ball, Thank you for an excellent evaluation of the way things really are for most people in your country and the rest of the planet as well. Watching your videocast from across the world, we are of course heartbroken to see that President Trump, who undoubtedly has given you his level-best, has unfortunately not been able to show sufficient leadership skills in these trying times of multiple crises striking the entire civilized world. It's time to realize what is obvious, but what no one wants to say. He is a bull run president. Unfortunately, what the world needs and what your country needs is a hands-on-the-job administrator with an eagle-eye for seeing what steps to take and in what order and ruling with an iron rod. That aside, I think the congresswoman from Minnesota has perhaps not seen the forest for the trees. What needs to be changed is the economic system. De-funding police and every other department that propagates inequality is missing the point: the economic system is the motor of global society. You can de-fund ad Astra, but it won’t change a thing because our system translates out to mean one thing: follow the money. Put into place an economic system designed for 21st century Earth, and you will see all forms of inequality fade into the woodwork. It’s an opinion. Be well.

Dear Krystal and Saagar, Thank you for sticking a pin in the balloon of self-congratulation that Governor Cuomo has signed on to. It's surprising but not unusual to want to celebrate after winning a battle, but I think Governor Cuomo would have been wiser to wait after the waves of virus that still may come have dissipated and let others make a poster of his merits in the Covid-19 battle.

The silver sweater worn with a suit coat does not work for a reason I can only say is what it looks like on TV. Something is off and you can't put your finger on. It not only clashes with the purple backlit / grey background of the odd-looking studio, but it also makes Robbie look like he is giving an impression of an SNL sketch rather than a serious news show.

What we all have to realize is that we are being told what our governments want us to know. There is backroom communication going on between all governments and they decide what is true and what is not true. The Kennedy Assassination that happened 60 years ago is a perfect example of how the US Government has decided that what happened was that one lone gunman did the shooting. Their case has been picked to pieces by a dozen investigative reports, but nothing will make the American Government ever admit that Oswald was not the man who pulled the trigger. We have seen 220,000 tons of structural steel turn to dust in mid-air and never reach the ground in the Twin Towers 9/11 fairy story. 10,000 American architects signed a joint-statement saying that jet planes crashing into the skyscrapers loaded with fuel could not bring down the WTC towers. Yet; we all know the US Government's assessment of what happened. Israel's Mossad is apparently the most respected Intelligence Service in the world and to say they missed the signs of an impending invasion by Hamas is absurd, yet that is the party line. We all had better realize that a lot of things happening out there are getting reported on, but how much of it is true is another question.

It beggar's belief all of the information coming at us as the pandemic winds itself down. Where I live, in a country next to France, we were all required to wear masks in public places and on public transport for the first two years. What I gleaned from the health professionals reports and from my own doctor was that the Covid-19 infection rate was held at bay in our region albeit hundreds of thousands caught the virus and that the flu was much less prevalent than in other years. Surey, the wearing of a mask is like covering your mouth when you sneeze!

Dear Crystal and Saagar, I think all of us are dreaming to ever think anything Ms Maxwell says gets into print. I think everyone knows the end of this story. There is a thing called state security that trumps all the laws and ethics and belief systems put together. Ms Maxwell is going to fade away; her arrest is going to fade away; everything about her and what she has done and who she knows or what she knows or what she knows other people have done, will never be known. Sometimes, in the world we can see that the secret world of James Bond does exist and Maxwell is proof of it.

This must be unbelievably hard to see this insane, upside down world of investing, happening right in front of your eyes in your country Krystal and Saagar. Junk bonds used to raise eyebrows when we heard people made millions trading them. Now it’s junk-homes and---can we really believe people are ready to put a half a million dollars in a home that will have to be demolished and that has absolutely no allure, no charm and no reason to be on the market at all? But yes; we see some kind of unraveling of what used to be common sense. I think what has happened is that the stimulus packages have pumped so much liquidity in the markets that there is a free-for-all spirit making people spend money on junk in the belief it will increase in value. The world of finance has painted itself in corner.

Dear Crystal and Saagar, I'm an overseas viewer and I think both of you are rising stars in political commentary. You both deliver your message with flair and honesty. Where I get off the bus, and shake my head and wonder if I'm really hearing what I'm hearing is anything positive you have to say about President Trump. Are we on the same page or not to say that President Trump is unAMERICAN and resembles a financier more than anything? On top of that, 20 women claim he committed sexual aggressive acts against them. He's clueless and speaks English like a carnival barker. You cannot seriously believe that President Trump should be the leader of the free world. He has spoken nothing but untruths, backed Putin 37 times; there is a bandit there.

One very worrying element about the Wuhan woo woo is that no one is talking about all of the technicians, lab-workers from the Wuhan lab, and reporters who reported on the Wuhan virus were all sent to the governor's mansion i.e. prison. Why would people who were willing to tell the world what really happened sent to jail? Why was the UN team--who had to be quaranteened for 14 days plus the 13 months of wating, not allowed to see files, or examine samples, or test the water in the area, or talk to lab workers, or do independent examination, or even question people in the area? Krystal and Saagar, you both do great work, but talk about lockdown on this story, this story is locked shut tight. Why? Think: Chinese moon rocket to collect moon rocks = equals silence from the US about (possible) Wuhan lab leak.

Do not forget that 56.95 million people were simply tuning in to what they thought was a free Star Wars movie. When they saw Carlson appear on the screen they thought that a droid had broadcasted a 3D videocast of an American TV Presenter from Earth's civilization's last century before the end about a rogue cable-network operative who was really working for the other side...

Is the Wuhan Lab leak hypothesis going to go the same way as the Building 7 in the World TwinTowers' disaster? Let's hope there is an Elon Musk type of person who can send a tweet and keep this thing alive until the true facts are known, and not be bamboozled like when everyone settled for the absurd theory of office fires taking down Building 7. Place your bets...

Dear Krystal and Saagar, Thank you Krystal for a very shock-talk presentation of your analysis of your countries ride through the obstacles that keep getting thrown in its path. One thing I can say as an outside observer from the other side of the world is that your country will never succumb to a breakdown of social order more than rioting, overthrow of the government by militia groups and the KKK resurging across the country and replacing places of worship. Of course, I’m kidding, but what the Trump Administration has unwittingly done is to show that even when a president is totally unfit for high office and a national disgrace like Donald J. Trump squeaks past the public awareness censors and installs himself in The Oval Office, your constitution is so rugged it won’t be thwarted by a two-bit con man like your president. Things will more than likely heat up, and Trump may win a second term, but it wouldn’t end the American experiment in government. Your republic would not be taken down by a fluke of history by a pseudo-politician that President Trump has turned out to be. Please stand down for 2020 President Trump!

There has been no evidence for animal to human transmission from the Chinese authorities in all of these months. If they believe this came from animals, fine, but where is the proof? What if a plane crashes---any kind of plane? Do we just pick up the pieces? No; we try to find out what went wrong so maybe we can prevent it from happening again. All the world wants is to know the truth. Thanks to Rising's Krystal and Saagar for shining their light in the direction of total disclosure. Lastly; how sad to hear what Saagar said about fact checkers. It's hard to believe that the media and social media----who would believe Twitter would be in their pocket?
