Krystle’s TDS is hard to ignore and listen to. She doesn’t believe in the economic principles of supply/demand whenever the topic of immigration and labor supply comes up. She’s basically a “flat earther” regarding supply/demand principles. The TDS has really flared up in 2025.

Not sure when or what happened but all she does is wine. Hard to follow. No longer a balanced program when someone continually try’s to take over.

My father and I have very different opinions on topics and politics and this used to be the one show I would recommend to him to get a both sides of the road look at stories and get different opinions to make a more informed decision. Now I regret doing it because all this show seems to do is side with one viewpoint, which is the same reason I stopped watching fox, cnn and msnbc. Hope y’all can recover and go back to what made this show great when it first came out.

Ever since trumps re election this show has been hard to listen too. Krystal single handily is the #1 reason. Use to be a non bias show but her hatred for trump is just impossible to listen too now. Saagar is the man but he can do so much better without her

Ryan Grim is a national treasure.

I’ve been a loyal listener and appreciated this podcast for its balanced, fact-driven perspective. But lately, it’s taken a sharp turn—now it’s nonstop ranting and emotional takes about Trump.

These guys advertise as left and right, but since Trump’s re-election, it’s been all left of center. During Biden’s term, there were some conservative viewpoints, but it’s all left now. Used to listen regularly, but it’s just MSNBC without the corporate sponsorship now.

Saagar please leave Krystal behind at this point. Her commentary is dreadful and delusioned and is the reason I can no longer listen. I will however continue to follow you so please take the opportunity to step out on your own.

I’ve listened to just about every episode since they started but I can’t anymore. I’ve always been in the middle and that’s what attracted me to the show but unfortunately it’s just another CNN now. All-In podcast is all that’s left for a healthy debate from both sides

This pod always struck me as a podcast that was for people who could hear the negatives about their own party. Or whatever party you affiliate closest with. I like the honestly around an issue and topics which takes precedence over political party loyalty. If you’re leaving or giving 1 star because you can’t handle bad press for Trump during a presidency his own party is calling a failed admin. Then please leave, you likely weren’t the target audience anyway 🙌

I just can’t do it anymore. The show has gotten so inflammatory. Just report the facts instead of just assuming you know.

Used to be great, but now it just seems like I’m listening to Crystal whine all the time. Also seems to be more sensationalist than in the past.

Been listening since the beginning, its literally all Anti Trump every show now. CNN, MSNBC, Breaking Points, no difference anymore. Save your time go somewhere else. Haven’t listened in a month its unbearable now.

Used to be a great non biased source of news. Now it’s all “Trumps an idiot” “a moron” I’ll look somewhere else for non biased news.

I’ve been listening to your podcast since it started even before with rising. I can’t put my finger on it, but I’m just not enjoying it as much anymore. I’m not a subscriber so I don’t have a lot of room to comment.

They used to be fairly balanced although slightly left but unfortunately it has just turned full Trump bashing as time has progressed. I am guessing they are playing to their crowd but it has definitely pushed this listener away. I just want a balanced view. Why is that so hard these days?

Thorough and principled reporting, highly recommended. They give ‘bipartisan’ a good name

I have moved away from cable news and a friend recommended Breaking Points! I enjoy that they share the facts and then debate the merits of the story based on the left and right viewpoints. This show has opened my eyes to viewpoints that I can respect even if I don’t agree with them. Do yourself a favor and- and subscribe!

Love this show! Seems like a lot of their negative reviews are from more right wing folks that are having a hard time accepting that many other right wing folks are unwilling to twist themselves into a pretzel to defend the indefensible. Both Krystal and Saagar are doing a great job! Love this podcast for sure!

I am listening every day now and trust this group more than other news sources. Excellent group.

This used to be unbiased and I enjoyed it. Now Saagar just lays down to squeaky Krystal Ball. Absolutely terrible

I’ve been listening for years and continue to enjoy listening.

My only source of news needed now. Contrary to other reviews, I like that the hosts admit and embrace their backgrounds (or biases), and I find the show perfectly balanced, honest, informative, and entertaining. Thank you all!

I was looking for a thoughtful middle of the road show. That is DEFINITELY not this show! The biased half truths is Truly disappointing. I keep trying to listen but when I know I’m being told half truths or the facts that don’t match their agenda get left out of “news” .

I’ve followed this team since the inception of the podcast. In 2025 the quality of the show has suffered, mainly in my opinion because Krystal is no longer a rational actor. She has turned into quite the harpy as of late suffering from full blown TDS. I think this team deserves success but I just can’t get through a single podcast at this point. Unfortunate. 5 stars until 2025, 1 star since.

This is a truly amazing show. The well thought out opinions are refreshing to hear. In troubled times such as this a voice that speaks truth to power is a vital necessity. Thank you so much for all you do.

Doesn't come across as a balanced presentation of current events and views. Krystal clearly left and Saagar moderate at best.

I open by saying Saager is a brilliant journalist. He demonstrated his acumen and intellect on Lex Friedman. That being said, Krystal cannot seem to make a point without it being delivered drenched in emotion. How can one be open-minded and intellectually honest when one is that emotional. Plus she just goes on and on for minutes. If you need that much time to make your point, perhaps your point is not that strong. I still support them because I’ve been listening for years, but I hope they find their way again. It’s just become a podcast of ranting.

I have been listening for a while and really like the dynamic of the show. However with the tariff issues we have at hand I think it might be an interesting segment to interview Pete Roberts from Origin USA. What they have been able to do is impressive, not saying all companies can do the same but we should be highlighting both sides. Thanks for the show!

I have been listening for the last month, I have loved hearing all of your opinions and the resources you provide! I want to support you guys by subscribing, but I wish there was an option for a monthly payment? I can’t give the annual amount during these trying times. But I do want to say THANK YOU for making Friday official, I look forward to listening to this show 5 days a week!

I’ve been following since Raising but I’ve got to say the current show with the addition of Ryan and Emily is the best it’s ever been. The various shows with mixed hosts are all great in their own ways. The best news podcast there is.

There are two reasons I take issue with this podcast. Number one is because they claim to tell the story for both sides of the aisle and they absolutely do not. I was so excited to listen to this podcast because someone had told me they share the views of both Political parties and that’s what I want to hear. I have listened to hours and hours and could not believe my ears. I am absolutely fine for you to share your views and say what you think whether I agree with them or not, but to taut yourselves as someone who shares the thoughts and ideology of both sides of the aisle is dishonest. You are lying to your audience. Believe what you want, say what you want… But don’t pretend to be something you’re not by starting off every episode claiming that you have a voice for the right and the left side of political issues. I was so excited at first, then very disappointed. The second issue I have is, I believe there is absolutely no reason to make fun of people who don’t agree with you, as I listened to you, you act like people are stupid or idiots because they don’t think like you… And it is rampant throughout your episodes. (I know you can’t hear tone of voice when you read what someone writes, so I just want to be clear that I am not angry and not hateful in my tone. I’m just saying this as a fact.) I see this done by the left and the right side of political issues and I think it is disgusting whoever does it. It is beneath the dignity of someone who has a platform saying they help people become informed or aware. So I say again, believe what you want, say what you want… But don’t pretend to be something you’re not. You have lost my trust so I have unsubscribed and won’t be interested in listening to your podcast again.

Mostly informative, I have difficulty listening to Krystal happy dancing anytime she thinks the U.S. will fail. I respect liberal views but we are all in this together.

I’ve been listening to Breaking Points for years. Krystal and Saager are very intelligent and bring their authentic takes on the news every day.

Krystal and Sagaar provide the most honest and in depth coverage that can be found. While they have different political leanings , they hold consistent values and aren’t beholden to any corporation or administration. Not only do they help me stay informed, but they help me understand other different perspectives.

The whole premise of your show is gone since the election. It turns out this whole “two points of view” thing was a scam. The headlines are purely Democrat click bait. The Right is not represented on this show unless Emily is on. The Republicans used to have a voice but are now more like RINOs, letting unmedicated Krystal rant like a hysterical banshee. She has no respect for anyone’s opinion but her own. This show is Democrat propaganda masquerading as balanced healthy debate. It didn’t used to be like this. Congratulations you’re no better than the mainstream media. One way ticket to being irrelevant.

Flaws and all, I consider all the hosts of BP and CP to be leaders in today’s media environment bc they challenge the status quo/power structures in the way they provide commentary and context to news. Obviously, Krystal and Saager are polarizing and I lose my head sometimes but the balance of hate in the reviews says something lol. Even if it’s not this show, everyone should find independent news they trust.

Breaking Pts, Kyle, Vanguard, respectively, are now my go to news channels daily now. Love Krystal’s clear interpretations.

So refreshing to hear (mostly) sane voices from both the left and the right. I adore Krystal, Saagar, Ryan, and Emily and look forward to listening to them every day. While I often disagree with Saagar and Emily, I think it’s important not to be in an echo chamber.

F the haters leaving negative reviews. I’ve been listening to Saagar and Krystal since The Hill days. I of course disagree with both of their analysis at times, but I still genuinely believe they bring a balanced news diet to their subscribers. They bring on a wealth of experts to talk in detail about a wide array of current affairs. They have given Ryan Grim and Emily Jashinsky a wonderful platform to participate and bring their perspectives in. Ryan is an OG and maybe the most trusted journalist I’ve come across. No news source is perfect. If it was then you just like hearing echo chamber propaganda. Breaking Points is a must listen and I recommend it to everyone who is genuinely interested in receiving a balanced discussion.

I enjoyed this podcast when I first began listening to it, but since the election Saagar goes off on these hateful rants, yelling and talking over Krystal, and just raging against “wokeism.” He used to be reasonable and firm on his opinions, but he has flipped a switch. It’s annoying to even try to listen anymore. There are much better commentators elsewhere.

This used to be a balanced perspective, but I can’t listen to episodes with Krystal anymore. She interrupts everyone and is so emotional that it’s hard to take her information as such. I enjoy episodes with Ryan who conveys information in an informed but rational way.

I love that this podcast challenges power structures and the hosts are not afraid to offer their opinions even if it goes against both political parties.

I used to listen to yall for a balanced news report. Since Trump was elected your daily titles are completely partisan and click bate in nature. If I want my limbic system hijaked I can just go back to CNN.

Update: Back to 5 stars after Kyrstal refilled her Xanax. Best show ever. Listening to Krystal's ramblings and complaining about reality while Saagar has to defend himself with simple facts is getting old. Krystal needs to go.

I love Breaking Points so much! It is honestly the ONLY news organization I trust. Krystal, Saagar, Ryan and Emily give in-depth coverage and insight every single day, keeping me informed on daily news and events. I encourage everyone I know to follow their podcast. In my opinion, you do not get more rational and balanced coverage anywhere.

I use to recommend breaking points for their balanced reporting, but now most of the time Emily goes along to get along , Ryan drags through some sad story from some “source” , and saggar when he is on the show puts up a fight unless he doesn’t care then just caves to Krystal. Even their thumbnails look like secular talk click bait. Sad

Ryan has this intellectual kind of dry humor that’s well informed and weirdly dialed in to pop culture. Not to mention his in depth reporting. I’m sure it goes over most people’s heads because they just want someone to entertain them…but everyone on this show is great and I really enjoy the mix and match episodes. Love to hear everyone’s take. Saw someone hating on Ryan and had to show him some love. Everyone is great. This show actually makes me laugh. They say the things we’re all thinking but with some very well informed insights. Wish all news was like this…but until then…there’s Breaking Points!

Krystal is the only reason why this show is bearable.

Any episode without Krystal is great. She interrupts constantly and will shove her world views down your throat. Saagar and Ryan is easily the best combo but sadly it’s rare we get that.
