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.

Do we watch Saagar talk about weed for his informed takes or do we watch Saagar talk about weed for being a raging old man yelling at clouds😂

4/4/25: China Calls Trump's Bluff, Stocks Plummet, Lawyer Responds To JD Vance

How are u gonna have an election when 20% of your country is under foreign occupation and the front line changes every day Saagar? This talking point has always been ridiculously obtuse, almost like JD is one of Russia's most useful idiots...

Is it just me or is there something "broken" with Locals not providing the Full Show YouTube link? Today, 09/13/2025, 1:18p Eastern, Locals is showing that the "Live Stream" hasn't even started ... yet, we're watching the first 4 segments ...individually.???

Just read Emily latest piece on DC crime in Unherd, and I don't even wanna bother with tomorrow's show.

Certainly not the DC segment. It's a tortured exercise in rationalization so easily debunked it's painful.

Do yall learn nothing? Everytime yall come out with some lame justification for Trump's latest power grab - tarrifs, deportations, etc. - reality proves you demonstratively wrong within days. Are we really going for the 'Fell For It Again' awards?

So expect bad faith misrepresentations delivered with sincerity from Emily, and some borderline racist BLM obsessed cringe from Saagar.

Hopefully it won't be as bad as the top comment from Emily's Unherd article.
