Customer Reviews
Best political podcast
I love this podcast. I can see a lot of people are saying they are turned off by Krystal but I think she is amazing and is always on point. I like Saagar too. Overall all 4 of them are pretty great. I don't agree with them about everything but it's good to hear different perspectives. Keep up the good work guys!
It's become unlistenable
Used to be the biggest BP fan and supporter. Recommending it to everyone who would listen. Its not morphed into Krystal throwing temper tantrums every episode and the show has lost its charm. I tuned in to hear open minded and nuanced perspectives in the midst of civil conversation. That era of BP is unfortunately gone. Krystal is unbearable to listen to and Saagar has apparently lost any interest in asserting his perspective. I'm not looking for mean spirited comebacks but for the love of God speak your mind dude and push back on the insanity that Krystal spews every episode. If you agree than so be it but you've become a doormat. We understand she isn't a fan of Israeli policy but her inability to listen to any criticism/critique of her position on the Israel/Hamas conflict is so off putting. She's gone full Jew hater and I just can't. Hope Saagar is able to break away and do his own solo show or find a liberal cohost who adheres to the original intent of the show. Until that happens I'm out ✌🏻
Make Krystal A Journalist Again
When I started listening to the show back when they first launched, it was a refreshing place to get straight news that took the time to explain nuances of both sides of a position. Since the war and Gaza the show has become borderline unwatchable. Krystal assumes the worst motives of people who disagree with her specific positions on the conflict, the college protests and unfortunately Saagar doesn’t push back as much as he would like without her assigning dishonest motives to him.
Gone are the days where she presented the news without assigning the worst motives to people, including her listeners, that have a different opinion without assuming there in support of genocide or thousands of people dying.
Her interview with RFK Jr was also a total embarrassment as she would ask questions, then wouldn’t let him answer and if she didn’t like the answer he gave or disagreed with it, she would filibuster and push to move to the next topic. In the same way that Daily Wire has lost credibility post-Candace Owens, I feel Breaking Points is doing the same where they were able to capture an audience on the platform of being fair and unbiased and giving straight news but as time goes on clearly demonstrate they have a bias and a disdain for dissent.
