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.

Who would you think should be added as a friend of BP show?

I personally am intrigued by these two:

  • Ruth Ben-Ghiat: She is an scholar on fascism and authoritarian leaders. The way she describes despots amazes me that how accurate her description is.

  • John Kiriakou: He is the former CIA officer and the whistle blower on US torture program exposing US government and paid a heavy price for it. He has been gaining notoriety but mostly I have seen him appearing on right-wing leaning podcasts. Left wing media like BP should embrace these characters.

One of the most infuriating things about No Kings is how easily the establishment can generate the consent structure for large scale protests. We already know that the original organizers of No Kings, 50501, was a no named group created by a lady with absolutely no following, who was suddenly flooded with a bunch of capital for marketing from liberal billionaires, like Christy Walton. With less than a week of marketing, millions of Americans can flood the streets for a political cause.

And what cause is that? To criticize Donald Trump. Not to criticize the system that empowers Trump. Not to criticize the Kings who pay this public servant to behave like a King. It’s all designed to scapegoat one man, so that you don’t actually recognize and criticize the real issues.

The same way Bernie Sanders scapegoats Netanyahu and ONLY Netanyahu for the crimes of Israel is how the American public is being trained to scapegoat Donald Trump for the crimes of his donors. Don’t blame the ...
