From the moment I saw Saagar and Krystal interview on Joe Rogan, I was in. Once Breaking Points was created, I was in! I’ve been with these two from the very beginning and it was exactly what I needed. I trusted the content and I loved the interesting and thoughtful debate between both political positions.
Honestly I enjoy Saagar just as much, perhaps even moreso. Krystal on the other hand, I believe, has devolved into rhetoric, condescension, hate, hyperbole, and an overall disgust with anyone who doesn’t see things her way, including Saagar. It’s awful to listen to and it must change. Listen, I love that Krystal has an opposing view, let’s get after it! But I think she has grown an ego. I think she believes that she is on a pedestal to preach, and she has completely forgotten about the listener. The paid subscriber.
My subscription re-ups in October so I’m committed until then. I have already prioritized other podcasts over this one and if things don’t change I will not be a returning customer.
Go back to your roots guys, you have lost your way. And for the love of god, remove “etcetera” from your vocabulary.

how do i reach out to the BP producers? Krystal covers democratic primaries, and I know the guy running against Bennie Thompson, who has been in congress for decades now. His name is Evan Turnage, I work with his mom. Evan recently worked as an attorney for Chuck Schumer, and Elizabeth Warren before that. He is a young, progressive Yale graduate who wants to actually help one of the most impoverished districts in the country, and he would be down to be interviewed if BP would be interested in covering this primary. BP community, help me get the word out.
Look, I know merch can be overdone, but hear me out. As someone who's been designing brands for 20 years, I saw you guys didn't drop anything last year and thought, "These folks are probably too slammed with news to think about t-shirts." So during my downtime, I started sketching some ideas.
These aren't your typical slap a logo on a shirt designs. Coming from New Hampshire, where political conversation is basically our state sport, I wanted to creates something that actually reflects the Breaking Points vibe.
I've got some concepts playing with the whole "opposites" theme that feels true to what BP is.
None of these are meant to offend anyone and don't represent anyone at Breaking Points.
I wonder if Krystal would address the college application process? She says her oldest is a high school senior, so she is probably towards the end of this process.
I ask this as I was up until midnight last night getting the largest tranche of college applications out for my 18 year old.
The entire process has been enraging and frustrating- largely because it seems pointless.
Throughout my son's time in high school I've been bombarded with ads and pitches for "college coaches," listened to friends admit the process is causing them marital stress (I'll also admit to that), and seen the toll this process is taking on my son.
Major universities seem to want our children to spend their teenage years auditioning like beauty pageant contestants for their approval. How about our kids: 1. just be teenagers 2. develop an ethos for just doing well for the satisfaction of doing well?
I've even heard LinkedIn lexicon around "building your personal brand" spread down to teenagers.
