Inside/Outside Game (w/ Krystal Ball)

Breaking Points & Kyle Krystal & Friend's co-host Krystal Ball joins Bad Faith to talk 2024 horse race, the future of the Breaking Points media empire, and accusations that hosting a show with a conservative formalizing a type of "red brown" alliance that hurts the left. The pair wrestle with questions Briahna has discussed at length on Callin: how does one expand the left audience into non-left spaces without throwing vulnerable constituents or important left issues under the bus? What is that personal line? How does one maintain a moral litmus test without it turning into an unhelpful purity test? Also, can the left get behind a candidate like Marianne Williamson in 2024? Or is the left fundamentally divided on the question of whether to support progressives running on the Democratic Party ticket. Also, the pair debate whether Biden will run for reelection at all. What do you think?

1:38 No Krystal. We were not just looking for someone to do the bare minimum! What the hell are you talking about? What has happened to you?

Brie, please watch the video and check out Represent Us. They are a single issue grassroots campaign fighting to remove big money and corruption from politics. In my opinion, they are far superior to the "forward" party. They got Hawaii ranked choice voting in 2022 (also check out their victories page). https://represent.us/

Idk about Marianne Williamson, I found that clip to be cringey and strange.

Nice Kum Ba Ya Episode! Slightly informational! What’s the thing with Marianne and Foreign policy debacle? You’ll can’t just say that and not elaborate.

glad to hear this conversation. glad i subscribed. i also wish y'all went into the foreign policy stuff your referenced with Marianne- going to go look into that now since I'm unfamiliar. i used to think Marianne was strange and cringey as another commenter put it- but after hearing her more long form recently i would definitely get behind her. i also fully support a left candidate running as a dem and then when they get knee-capped by the establisment running as an independent.

I'm similar to Marianne politically and spiritually but I have to turn the volume up in order to hear her, and then I hear her tongue and mouth noises. It's kind of endearing but also distracting.

A great discussion! It is better for the Left to start having the conversation of 2024 before the midterms, and to get its ducks in a row early.

Williamson is a nightmare. You all are journos. Follow up on her. I know her shtick from inside of Hollywood. She another fake charismatic life coach the likes of which consume shallow celebrities and use those associations as cred. She’s the Michael Avanati of the spirituality.

Love that you're opening dialogue about the struggle through those C blocks at the Hill! They are clearly for cultural rightists who are looking for moral outrage porn. I think you add to them, though, just by scoring points and forcing Robbie to publicly moderate his position. I think that probably teaches listeners to moderate themselves too. I also find the Hill's engagement with trans issues to be a bit lacking from time to time. Wish there was a person who "gets" the Hill and "gets" the civil/human rights aspect of trans lives. But the Hill's format causes it to struggle with that sort of interaction generally. Appreciate you!

It's amazing to me how much my opinion of John Oliver has evolved over the years. I used to think he was King of progressive thought in this country and the end all be all of what could be done XD Oh, to be young again!

We need an antiwar candidate, and Marianne is perfect.

I was hoping that Krystal would be challenged in this interview. It was more of a love in. Slight tangent but Krystal and Saagar are not the people I thought they would be they feel just as much as washingtion insiders as the rest. And lets be honest if they were really pushing back then so many more people and institutions would be coming after them HARD. This was way to soft of an interview. Were STILL talking about Bernie! That milk toast ship has sailed and cleary Krystal still believes in the old 2 party system. She pretends to want change all the while operating at the highest levels of being a washington insider.
