Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar (or simply Breaking Points) is an American political news and opinion series created and hosted by Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti. It was launched in June 2021 by Ball and Enjeti, both former hosts of The Hill's Rising web series. They publish an audio-only podcast, and the video program is available on YouTube, Rumble, and Spotify. Its format includes one left-wing populist anchor (Ball) and one right-wing populist anchor (Enjeti), who provides news and commentary from an independent platform, separate from the mainstream media.[4][5][6]
