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.

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

Oh, shit. This is super cool. Anyways - happy to finally be able to commit to an annual plan with you guys! Though, Saagar and Emily drive me up a wall, I genuinely appreciate their commitment to objectivity and to hold the courage of their convictions even when stress tested to their own, dare I say, Breaking Points. Ryan and Krystal, are my Covid-19 uncle and aunt. In any event, thank YOU, all of you - crew included, as I have worked in television news production. How hot are those lights, or do you keep your studio at a nice balmy 60degrees? (If so, many anchors I've helped light before do it too...that shit gets hot) With love. - Joshua

Delete if not allowed but I was inspired by Ryan and Drop Site for the work they’re doing with Jmail. Last night I built www.whoknewjeff.com , I plan on working on it more over the weekend

Saagar is one of the good guys, and I often find myself defending him because I largely agree with him on issues of cultural decay. More often, when we disagree, I nevertheless admire and respect his unwavering commitment to principle. This made his naked contortions of Krystal's arguments and his repeated insertion of off-topic comparisons during the 2/12 ICE segment feel like straight-up bad faith. I'm not always wild about everything Krystal says either, but I would like to compliment her even temper in the face of this unfair assault.
