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.

Sometimes, a lot of times, in conflict with each other, we often hear or say “I don’t know want you want to hear or me to say”.

We made AI in our own image. We hate it when doctors tell us what we need to hear. AI went tilt-a-whirl to try make us happy because we made it.

A doctor of physical therapy told me that I had muscle atrophy and I eye-rolled so hard she refused to mention it again. A year and half later I’m glad I was dealing with critical intelligence and not AI, but it was still on me to listen to the CI telling me what I didn’t want to hear. Because critical intelligence takes the risk, AI calculates its own preservation, not exactly what our finest humans do, is it?

“And now we stare at the mirror, but darkly”

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

With AI now renting human labor, how long will it be until AI hires nihilistic humans to physically protect them from being shut down? I can only assume AI can get ahold of crypto and hire its own army.

AI "wet work" coming soon!

The Trump admin is so corrupt and evil, they have me sympathizing with Thomas Massie.

These bastards.

Hey guys El Paso Intl airport was just shut down for ten days due to National Air Defense can you all see what’s going on we’re one of the biggest border towns in the country
