Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar · 9/21/26: AI Nearly Starts China War, Diesel Prices Skyrocket, Ed Sheeran Mocked For Apology On Palestine · 21 Sep 2026 podcast

Robert Kraft calls up his friends, who are also stadium owners, says, Hey, we're voice-verified

Gonna host your tour if you keep this guy on. voice-verified

Ed Sheeran buckles to the pressure, McLemore gets kicked off the tour. voice-verified

Um, this led to a tremendous backlash. voice-verified

All of the other opening acts for Ed Sheeran, they all pulled out. voice-verified

Even his own backup band also pulled out. voice-verified

Apparently, ticket sales plummeted, they were offering them at a tremendous discount. voice-verified

So, in any case, in the next show that Ed Sheeran performed at. voice-verified

That he gave this uh scripted off the teleprompter tearful apology of sorts. voice-verified

Let's go ahead and take a listen to that. voice-verified

A lot to say about that. voice-verified

I mean, first of obviously the, you know, moral equivalence, the framing it as like a conflict, saying that, oh, I don't want to talk about politics even though previously visited Ukraine, weighed in very heavily in the Ukrainian conflict. voice-verified

And then I think just to the core, the reason why people are so disgusted here is it feels like a very PR workshopped voice-verified

And literally scripted reading off a teleprompter addressing of the situation. voice-verified

Can't even call it an apology. voice-verified

And then the other thing is when he gets choked up, is it about the fact that Gaza has been completely destroyed and turned to rubble? voice-verified

Is it about the fact that you now have the largest population of child amputees on the planet? voice-verified

Is it about the fact that Israel continues to bomb and uh siege the Gaza Strip? voice-verified

No. voice-verified

It's about him. voice-verified
