Hey guys, ready or not, 2024 is here and we here at Breaking Points are already thinking

of ways we can up our game for this critical election.

We rely on our premium subs to expand coverage, upgrade the studio, add staff, give you guys

the best independent coverage that is possible.

If you like what we're all about, it just means the absolute world to have your support.

But enough with that, let's get to the show.

Welcome to counterpoints, you've probably already noticed that Ryan Grimm has new hair.

Of course, I'm kidding.

It's Crystal.

Crystal is here.

Ryan's in New York for meetings with his intercept team.

Crystal Ball.

Thank you so much for joining counterpoints.

I'm really looking forward to having conversations with you on some of these incredibly

difficult topics that continue to dominate the news cycle.

It is not an understatement to say this is perhaps one of the most consequential moments

in recent memory, both in terms of American politics and global politics really on the edge

of a very precarious, dangerous and horrible situation, honestly.

So I'm not even going to preview the whole show like I normally do.

I'm just going to jump in because we have President Biden on the ground in Israel this

morning, arriving just after a horrific Palestinians would say attack from Israel.

Israel would say it's the Palestinians fault.
