The antidote to corporate media. A show everyone should watch if you want to know what is really happening in Washington. (Warning: Side effects may include a debilitating fury caused by you learning about our corrupt political establishment).

I as a politically agnostic person appreciate something like this exists, I find the discussions here are more relevant and informative than the mainstream media. I like the good old fashioned discussion on issues from two perspectives,I think it’s important to get a true understanding of often nuanced topics. My largest issue is Krystal has strong opinions and feelings, which is fine, but often times doesn’t let Sager have a chance to express how he feels, and if she does IMMEDIATELY cuts him back down.. I don’t notice him do the same . Would just like a little more balance.

Happy to have found this podcast. I enjoy hearing two sides to the same issue and appreciate the host’s respect for each other through differing views. It seems most of the negative reviews I’ve read are used to Fox News and see any liberal perspective as offensive. I believe the “point” is not promoting a completely neutral view of issues but a balanced view which I really appreciate. Thanks for doing what you do!

I listen every day. Because of his show I get a much clearer, well rounded, picture of the issues. I generally agree with Saagar but I love hearing the oppositional points Krystal and Ryan bring. Small complaint is how much Saagar talks over EVERYONE! lol. Another point of criticism is the automatic bias that the left is generally portrayed as inherently innocent of all corruption and evil doing and the right is only out for corporations and are the root of all evil. I try to tell everyone about how great this show is.

Please stop what you are doing and go listen to the first 8 minutes of the episode titled "8/11/26 China Shuts Down...." Krystal and Saagar might have different views about who should be brought to heel by an all-powerful government, but both agree a government with the all-powerful ability to bring its citizens to heel is desirable. The admiration and jealousy they both have for an authoritarian state using its power to destroy an individual citizen’s entire life in order to ensure complete and total state power should send a shiver down the spine of anyone, left or right, who believes in personal liberty or human rights. Your time is precious. Before wasting another hour listening to the opinions of these people, go listen to the first 8 minutes of the episode I mentioned above. What can be learned from people who speak with such glee while describing how wonderful it would be to have an all-powerful state capable of destroying this or that citizen. I listened to this show because Krystal and Saagar so loudly criticize US administrations when they behave like an authoritarian government trampling the rights of its citizens. Now I will stop listening because I just heard them so loudly celebrate an authoritarian government for trampling the rights of its citizens. How many times do people have to learn the same lesson? Too much power in the hands of oligarchs, corporations, media, etc., is bad. But an all-powerful state is worse, so much worse. Eventually, you won’t get to choose who it destroys.

Sorry to help · Aug 2026

Followed them from Rising and was a premium subscriber from day one, but just finally had to cancel. The balance and back and forth is gone, in Krystal’s “what I think about everything” hour, and it feels like junior high sneering much of the time—unprofessional. I tuned in here to get away from that sneering, condescending, cable vibe, and it’s morphed into whatI was fleeing, over this last year. Luckily for me, I stumbled onto The Free Press, with similar goals to the original BP, but the quality of journalism is not comparable-/head and shoulders above. Also, they polled all of their editors prior to the election, and they were split evenly between Trump, Harris, and undecided…kind of like the actual COUNTRY! I dare you to find another newsroom that balanced. Hearing a lot of opinion here like mine about the demise of BP—just offering an alternative that I’ve found to be useful.
