      @@00SmileTime00 Your numbers seem greatly exaggerated. As reported last November, _"Yemen's seven-year-old war will claim 377,000 lives by the end of the year, through both direct and indirect impacts, a United Nations agency estimated in a report published Tuesday._
      _Nearly 60 percent of deaths will be caused by indirect impacts such as lack of safe water, hunger, and disease, the report said, suggesting that fighting will directly kill over 150,000 people."_
      How is, or even was, she responsible for that? UNICEF has been begging the member governments for humanitarian funding all along. They do not find the money growing on trees. The whole situation is a Middle Eastern clusterfuck of monumental proportions, and Yemen, caught between Iran and SA, suffers the consequences. Not sure how you can blame that on a diplomat.

      She’s a civil servant, not a politician. The elected people bring in experts to advise them on areas they know less about. At her high level she’s appointed by the president, but there are thousands of people who work for the American people regardless of which party is in the Oval; they’re experts who know how something works and can therefore advise top officials including cabinet & president on what’s feasible and how to accomplish the administration’s goals. The Dems are trying to pass a law that would prevent presidents from firing subject experts without cause in order to install obedient but ignorant stooges, as trump did.

    In case no one noticed ...... this woman is a TRUE American HERO. Selfless and honest ..... she has been a shining light in an otherwise darkening world of politicians and bureaucrats. Thank you Samantha for your years of service to our country.

    What an enlightening segment! Thank you Steven for bringing on Samantha power. As a person who tries to stay on top of things, I learned so very much in this short segment. And I really commend you on your prowess in both the areas of comedy and serious interviewing. Because of the intelligent yet witty stance on current events, you are my favorite late night talk show host!

    She said you could get your booster and your flu shot at the same time, my pharmacist told me I had to wait 2 weeks after I got my booster before I got my flu shot.

    I am a foreign service brat, dad was in the first wave of AID in '61 and '62. He was so proud to serve for decades - AID to USAID. Thank you Ms. Powers for helping get US foreign policy back on track after the horrible years of T****P.
