    Ignorant Hosts
    Socialist and communist rhetoric without any facts or thoughts behind what they throw up. Complete waste of time.
  • maxwell stone
    Secular talk???
    Why no secular talk audio on podcast app? I hate Spotify for podcasts. Please please please

    I’ve become a patreon member
    Kristal & Kyle know where it’s at. Recently, became a patreon member. We must support progressive media. Have no choice. And, Krystal & Kale have integrity. No “poly market desk” here! Thanks.

    Krystal is a legend, Kyle too, but…
    Kyle, stop talking over Krystal, I unsubbed from Breaking points because of Sagar being an insufferable dork and not letting her talk. We get it, you’re enthusiastic, but chill bro.
  • AloofGoose
    Condescendingly biased
    Do you guys ever reflect on the validity of your beliefs or how your delivery comes off? Cause it often seems like you’re both sniffing your own farts and you think you’re the only people with the ability to come up with a decent opinion. I’ve followed you for years but I’m unsubscribing. PS kyle is insufferable
  • jdtadj
    Waste of time
    There is absolutely no analysis to support their beliefs/arguments.
  • Ammajussayin
    What if
    If Kyle could control his urges to rant and interrupt Krystal and his guests, I’d give this podcast a 4 or 5. JFC What makes him think his opinion is the only right one or that interrupting isn’t disrespectful and chauvinistic?

    People we need right now
    Enjoy the honest takeaways

    81 Million Vote Man
    Why do leave out of your analysis Pelosi Clooney and The NY Times foolishly pushing out Joe Biden and his 81 Million votes. Trump only marginally increase his vote total by didn’t come close to the Biden-Harris ticket. Folks love Joe Biden even more than Trump.
  • KevinantiwokeB
    Trash
    If you want to listen to the pillow talk of a married far left couple then this is for you. Krystal is a bit annoying on breaking points but sagar is the rational one who checks her leftist ideology. Kyle is your typical elite leftist fake tough guy.
  • Chaseb131
    Corporate media 2.0
    No difference between Krystal and Kyle and cnn, msnbc etc.
  • ifuseekval
    Fresh and thoughtful
    They are both very knowledgeable, and I always enjoy hearing their insights. Their perspectives are always enlightening, and I find their advice incredibly valuable.
  • purplismusic
    Money changes people
    These guys used to be somewhat anti establishment, now they’re just corporate democrats. Wack money bubble
  • Chris Mottola
    Krystal
    Just here to trash the least intelligent, most biased midwit on the world wide webs. Krystal can go F herself with blondie butt plug boy.
  • Magikkk
    Completely Mask Off
    Grab your red armbands and brown shirts folxs ! Krystal Ball (seriously?? What kind of name is that) is going to tell you every episode just how evil and “genocidal” the ZIONISTS (Jews) are
  • Wellmandude
    Completely dishonest
    Krystal’s gone off the rails on Israel. This is a war, not a genocide! None of this would be happening if Hamas had never attacked Israel on Oct 7th! Jesus Christ, wake up people!
  • Ashley Claude
    A bonus surprise for me!
    I found each individually, Krystal on breaking points and Kyle on Secular Talks, and then their latest episode popped up for "shows you may like"! I enjoy both, so this is a super bonus for me! I already know after two episodes this is a solid, truthful, fact based interviews and conversations we need to be having! Thanks guys :)

    Longtime listener- please vary your topics or interviews- if it is related to the war the Gaza, I am skipping. We get all of that 24/7 and on Breaking Points. Already drained by the time we get to Saturday.

    I can’t anymore
    I used to adore Krystal on Breaking Points and support this show but I can’t anymore. Her hatred towards Israel has made her hard to listen to and to trust. She is so obviously biased against Israel in every way and doesn’t even try to be measured and information driven. Her emotions make it hard to trust anything she says about other issues because she states so much as if it were fact, but doesn’t back it up with evidence. She starts the historical record wherever its convenient for her narrative and doesn’t look at the bigger picture. I’m starting to think she might actually be anti-Semitic.
  • funnyjewgirl
    RM Brown sounds really dumb
    Just because I agree with much of what you all are saying, its still really hard to listen to you all. Does your Gen even know what the word “like” means. Makes you all sound so stupid when “like” is every other word.
  • alansco
    No impressions
    I mostly like what you all are about , but stop doing the Trump voice dude. You’re not good at it and not that funny. As Joe Friday says “ just the facts”.
  • Caiser7
    Love these guys!
    My favorite podcast these days
  • David msteacher
    Hateful
    Krystal has shown herself to be virulently anti-Israel and anti-Semitic. It’s too bad she lets this ruin what used to be a good show.
  • juan.l0ve
    Krystal’s colleagues
    I love how much Kyle hates Krystal’s colleague (Blonde fascist chick) from Breaking Points… I’m pretty sure he pretends not to hate Soggy as much as he really does 😂
  • AppleSapien
    Used to enjoy
    I used to thoroughly enjoy Kyle’s monologue, and also enjoyed Krystal and Sagar, and while the two of them make a cute couple, I can’t say I enjoy it anymore. Kyle lost a bit of his prior brashness; he used to go hella hard.
  • Don’t want a nick name.
    From the River to the Sea
    With a straight face you pretend to not understand that “From the River to the Sea “ is a call for the death of every Jew in the Middle East. You are not that stupid.
  • kathy_gh
    Sooooo funny n spot on
    Kyle is hilarious. Great chemistry. My new favorite pod. Live Kyle’s anger n humor. Sooo funny yet informative.
  • podacst listener
    Krystal lacks awareness and nuance
    Yet another podcast this woman has ruined. How hard is it to listen back to a podcast and realize that youre more opinionated and biased than any of your cohosts and that’s why people liked your shows? What a lack of respect for her husband and saager
  • @shopsixfeetunder
    Lazy at best
    “If they are polling I think they’d say” thanks for making stuff up??? All host opinion and no news
  • mauiroro
    Krystal is an antisemite
    It’s shocking what comes out of her mouth. Pass on this podcast!
  • tkkalverm
    Progressives argue and disagree, but they stick together!
    After listening to the Briana Joy Gray interview, I am much more optimistic about the future! The podcast contained a lot of heat and hostility, but I am thrilled people are getting fired up and angry while we try to steer the country away from the iceberg! I would say that Gray lost her composure on a few occasions and there were a lot of interruptions, but I can relate and appreciate that Kyle and Krystal maintained their composure. But what we are experiencing in this country right now should set your hair on fire! Biden further privatizes healthcare despite his promise for the public option. All of the so-called "good bills" gave money to corporations... so who knows if they'll actually use it for its original intent? The bottom line in the end is that the people living paycheck to paycheck do NOT care who the President is! You can point to the 5000 people that got student debt cancelled or the 5000 federal employees $15 min wage... but look at the conditions of the people on the ground and report on THAT! Incorporate math into the arguments... If Obama accomplished 3% of his agenda and Biden accomplished 6%, it could mean that Biden is a better president but the accomplishments are still awful!

    Not worth the time it takes to listen
    I somewhat enjoy Krystal on breaking points even though recently some of her views/opinions have been questionable )Mary Ann Williamson, establishment talking points etc…). That being said she takes establishment talking points to a new level on this show. Then theirs is Kyle, I’m not even sure why he is on this show. While Krystal has some talent, Kyle has none and it’s clear Krystal is throwing her new husband a bone and giving him something to do. Because without her this show would be way worst than it currently is. Kyle just parrots so much drivel while pretending like he has some sophisticated POV. Usually just bashing the guest on points he doesn’t agree with and not letting them get a word in edgewise. It’s kinda gross. I have to add Krystal and Kyle’s vibe is a little gross too. Like a highschool relationship. I think this is Krystal 3rd marriage ? I’m surprised they talk to each other like that lol.

    Kyle’s treatment of Briahna Joy Gray was inexcusable
    Kyle’s treatment of Briahna Joy Gray was offensive and inexcusable. He bullied her on every opinion of his that she would not concede to. He also quickly dismissed her legal opinions on student loan relief. Ms. Gray received a BA and JD (law degree) from Harvard University. Kyle does not have a law degree or any legal training. Kyle’s treatment of Ms. Gray shows he’s clearly much more interested in making a petty point over informing his audience. There are too many people like Kyle that think being loud and abusive is a substitute for facts to waste a moment of time listening to. Avoid this podcast and the toxic nature of one of its hosts.

    Episode 139 Guest 👎🏼
    Sohrab Ahmari’s interview style doesn’t seem to work for podcast format. He speaks very slowly and the impression I got was that the slow cadence of his speech is because he was tip toeing about what he said. It didn’t seem like he felt he could speak transparently. I can’t imagine what this felt like watching. Maybe it was better on camera but with no visual distraction, listening to this guest was painful.
  • Eswawa
    Sellouts
    This used to be good, but now echoes liberal establishment talking points and narratives they once criticized.
  • StephTwinMom
    Ignorant comments
    I like Krystal on Breaking Points which is why I listened. I like her on here too. She’s more partisan but that’s okay, I like to hear both sides. But then at the very end of the one episode I listened to Kyle says “well in North Dakota they are in 1989”. *giggles* Really?? Tell us how you really feel. (And no I’m not from ND but I am from the Midwest) Such an ignorant comment. That coastal elitist attitude is the reason Trump is popular.
  • Driften fool
    Meh
    I’m a big fan of Breaking Points, but there’s very little divergent thought between the (married) hosts. Knowing that both are democrats and Kyle is a Noam Chomsky and Cenk Uygur acolyte doesn’t necessarily kill it for me. The problem is they tend to team up on views they don’t like and Kyle is incapable of not interrupting. He constantly interrupts and talks over guests. Why have people on if you’re not going to let them make their point?
  • 10374629
    Pick on people your own size guys 😂
    Great conversation as always between you two but the dude interviewed last episode was an idiot lol
  • Biggixyz
    Wow!
    You guys did an excellent job on this authoritarian debate. The mutual respect was impressive and it’s clear everyone was well prepared. It’s a o refreshing to hear intelligent people having detailed discussions like this. You guys are very good at what you do. Thank you! -Niles

    Doubling down on the dumb
    …doesn’t help your vaccine cause Krystal, and Kyle- there’s a reason no one wants to hear from you, stop wasting oxygen and air time
  • britzman
    Change it to just "Krystal and friends" for 5 stars
    Krystal is thoughtful and has a pleasant voice but Kyle sounds wired and repetitive and loves having weird internet people on the show. It's so much better when. It's just Krystal! Drop the dead weight!
  • fearlesspaula
    Lots of appeals to authority and anecdotal evidence…
    Could use a lot more balance. Kyle often just gets ramped up and dismisses guests points instead of confronting them or ever conceding. Krystal talks over people and when interviewing asks questions that also state her opinion IN the question instead of being curious to HEAR a response. Why bother having other voices on the show? Just stick to your own deep dives into topics if that’s what you want to do. Go deep and own it.
  • smonte2k
    I don’t agree with everything, but there are some of the best
    I consider myself a progressive, and I have learned quite a bit from Kyle. Since teaming up with Krystal, I have come to appreciate her input, as well. These two offer one of the better, more “well thought-out” political podcasts.
  • Jacob from WA
    The Best
    You guys are the best.
  • Longhornssuck
    Ya know
    He's a raging commie and she has the most whimey voice I've ever heard. They both say ya know so much it's unbelievable.
  • Jonathan Kriewall
    Excellent Podcast
    I love the show. Kyle and Krystal are consistent, both intellectually and morally. I learn something new every episode.
