The Hill's Rising with Krystal & Saagar is an American daily news and opinion web series produced by Washington, D.C. political newspaper The Hill. The series launched in June 2018 as Rising with Krystal & Buck, with Buck Sexton as co-host until June 2019. The series is available on The Hill's Hill.TV platform and YouTube.
The current hosts are progressive journalist Krystal Ball and conservative commentator Saagar Enjeti.[1][2] While the series does not have an editorial position, it has been described as both a populist and bipartisan alternative to mainstream news.[3][4]
Format
Rising features commentary and analysis of political news and current events, as well as in-studio interviews with politicians, campaign staff and surrogates, Democratic & Republican Party advisors and strategists, and other members of the news media. Guests are almost always introduced as "a friend of the show".[citation needed]
The "What's on your Radar" segments serve as each episode's anchor. The hosts analyze current events and present commentary in a monologue format, usually organized into three or four bullet-points. This is followed by an open discussion.
The show also streams live analysis & commentary segments during elections and debates as a part of their coverage of the 2020 Democratic primary race.[5]
About
In 2018, The Hill announced Krystal Ball and Jamal Simmons as presenters of a new slate of original programming to be produced by John Solomon. Ball was slated as the "progressive co-host on a morning show with a conservative co-host".[6] Rising was launched in June 2018 with Buck Sexton serving as the conservative counterpart to Ball. Sexton was replaced by Saagar Enjeti in June 2019.[7]
In December 2019, the series has averaged 600,000 views per day on YouTube,[8] and as of February 2020[update], has gained 250,000 subscribers.[9] Enjeti and Ball also co-authored a book, The Populist's Guide To 2020: A New Right and New Left Are Rising.[10][11]
