EPISODE BREAKDOWN: On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin highlights Newark Mayor, Cory Booker, as the hero of the day for raising awareness of the 850,000 people in New Jersey who face hunger every day, and calls out white house advisor Bob Ryan for being the perfect example of the revolving door relationship between Washington and Wall Street Banks. Abby then talks to 9/11 first responder Michael McPhillips about the Zadroga Act and the delay to the funding that first responders not only need, but deserve. BTS wraps up the show with an interview with Syrian Blogger, Mimi al Laham, about the civil war in Syria and how to break through the propaganda and misconceptions of the crisis.
