Making & Breaking Points with Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti
About this episode
As populist energy continues to reshape both parties, Jon is joined by Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti, co-hosts of "Breaking Points." Together, they explore how both the left and right have grown disillusioned with the establishment, discuss what new media gets right that legacy outlets miss, and consider what it would take for real economic populism to break through. Plus, Jon answers listeners’ questions about Trump’s great escape, the weave, and fries or onion rings?
