Breaking Points

Breaking Points is an independent news program hosted by Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti. CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC are ripping us apart and making millions of dollars doing it. We don't have soulless billionaires or corporations backing our high end TV production, but we do have YOU. Together we're creating better, more insightful news to help us understand the world.

Agree with the other people posting about what appears to be bitterness between Krystal and Saagar. It wasn’t there, but now it’s really obvious and it makes me skip the majority of the episodes recently.

Krystal and Saagar seem to have gotten worse since the election. Like since Trump won, Saagar feels more vindicated. Wish Saagar would just speak his peace and let it go. There seems to be ego here with both of them wanting to get the last word in and being right instead of just stating their case. It leads to both interrupting each other and standing on their soap boxes for too long.

This show was a good model for bridging “breaking points” between our society. I hope this rift can be healed. Maybe the show needs a week or two break? A downside of this business is you only have 4 people to back each other up and it seems all could really use a vacation to reflect.

All the hosts are go getters and busy, but it seems like the show is straining everyone.

Emily gets interrupted too much by everyone.

Saagar makes odd references to Kyle every once and a while. It comes off weird . Like most people may not know who he is if they only watch this show.

Saagar and Krystal need a safe word or something or the producers can help with telling them to stay on point. So many episodes I’ve been skipping entire sections because they keep repeating the same points to each other. Day in and day out it gets old.

Love the show and been subscribing since the start. Hoping for some course corrections to get the show back on track. I think this format is truly something amazing and fills a massive void in media today.

Sorry Saagar... "We" don't get to have a "say" ... per se... regarding how our taxes are used [short of elections].
I would L O V E to assign all my taxes to ONLY education and NOTHING to military weapons. But, I know that would be a debilitating administerial hellscape.

I really appreciate Ryan and Emily's talk about the Salvadorian man deported recently, but they got a key detail incorrect, and that incorrect detail actually answers Will and Emily's "why did he wait 10 years." Argument

1) Ryan, Emily and Will all believe this person was granted asylum. Hence why Will and Emily are skeptical about his claim the threat is still real 10 years later. But he was not granted asylum. Asylum generally (with very few extraordinary excpetions) cannot be claimed if you've been in the country for more than a year.

2) That man's deportation was differed under the protections provided under the Convention Against Torture. While this is like asylum in many ways, it is decidedly not asylum. Asylum grants people the ability to stay in the country and a pathway to citizenship. Defferal of removal under CAT only prevents you from being deported to the country where the risk of torture exists, and it's revokable

3) The other key difference is that asylum claims can be raised ...

Ezra Klein in the clip today says “house-ing” with an “s” not a “z” sound. Only other person I’ve heard say “housing” like that is Robby Soave on Rising. Sounds insane to me. Do people pronounce it like that?
