Summary
Breaking Points is an independent U.S. political news and opinion series launched in June 2021 by Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti following their departure from The Hill's 'Rising'. The organization operates as an anti-establishment platform, featuring a unique format that pairs a left-wing populist (Ball) with a right-wing populist (Enjeti) to provide commentary outside of mainstream media constraints. Breaking Points maintains editorial independence through a revenue model primarily driven by premium subscribers, supplemented by advertising on platforms like YouTube and Spotify. The show has achieved significant reach, ranking as a top-30 podcast on YouTube in the United States by mid-2025. Its coverage often delves into complex power structures, such as Saagar Enjeti's analysis of the 'Epstein class'—a theorized global elite operating above the law through financial networks and intelligence connections.
