Hope for Haiti, Reese Witherspoon, and Aid Transparency
The hosts revisit the 2010 Haiti earthquake relief efforts, playing a clip of Reese Witherspoon taking a donation call to illustrate the "insincerity" of celebrity telethons. They cite a report from the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) that criticizes the lack of transparency in how billions of dollars in US aid to Haiti were actually spent.
