Having condemned the Hamas terrorist organization for its brutal Oct. 7 attack on Israel, Krystal Ball, co-host of the American political podcast “Breaking Points,” figures it is only “morally consistent” to denounce Israel for what she called a genocide against “all 2.2 million citizens of Gaza, and Palestinians living in Gaza.” In the antisemitic tirade, the host doubled down in response to questions from premium subscribers about the show’s anti-Israel posture. “I don’t think you can really cover those details in a way that looks good for Israel right now if you’re being honest,” Ball said. Co-host Saagar Enjeti—who had...

VIDEOBoth the hosts of Breaking Points, Saagar Enjeti and Krystal Ball, are resolutely anti-Trump. However, both admit that "This is still the Trump era" and that there is nothing they can do about it no matter how much they hate the fact that President Donald Trump continues to dominate the news during this, the "Trump Era."

VIDEOAs Saagar Enjeti of Breaking Points says, this is a media story (and scandal) about why the mainstream media such as the Washington Post won't investigate the true role of Ray Epps on January 5 and 6 at the Capitol.

Yglesias will become part of The New Contras, a band of center-left journalists whose willingness to critique the excesses of leftism have pushed them from major publications to ascendant self-publishing platforms.The state of the media is neatly explained by the recent separation of inseparable bloggers Ezra Klein and Matthew Yglesias. Six years after co-founding Vox in 2014, and nearly two decades after hitting the blogosphere, the pair is splitting up. Klein is headed to The New York Times. Yglesias is going to Substack. At the Times, Klein will become part of The Consolidation, another starry-eyed pioneer of new media settling...

Saagar Enjeti argues why Joe Biden is still falling into the same trap Hillary Clinton fell into during the 2016 election.

President Trump on Monday said he doesn't believe the federal government will pursue reparations for descendants of slaves, an idea that has gained traction among some Democrats. "I don’t see it happening," Trump said in an exclusive interview with The Hill. The House Judiciary Committee held the first hearing on the issue in a decade earlier this month, and a handful of Democratic presidential candidates seeking to challenge Trump in 2020 have broached the idea. "I think it’s a very unusual thing," Trump said of the possibility of reparations. "You have a lot of — it’s been a very interesting...

The White House found itself knocked off balance ahead of the State of the Union after an anonymous staffer leaked months of President Donald Trump’s schedules to Axios, two administration officials told The Daily Caller. Axios published months of Trump’s private schedules Sunday evening, detailing how Trump spends nearly 60 percent of his time in unstructured “executive time.” One administration official said the leak itself did not reveal any information, which wasn’t already known generally, but was “aghast and disgusted” that anyone in the president’s circle would reveal so much proprietary information. Another administration official said rank and file White...

NBC News intelligence and national security reporter Ken Dilanian on Monday dismissed the Daily Caller as "Trump's pet media" after one of its reporters was called on at a join press conference with President Trump and the Prime Minister of Italy. “What was I saying earlier about Trump’s pet media. He actually called on the Daily Caller. Next up: Sputnik," Dilanian wrote on Twitter on Monday after Daily Caller White House correspondent Saagar Enjeti asked Trump about a possible government shutdown if $25 billion isn't provided by Congress for a border wall along the U.S. Southern border. Enjeti shrugged off...
