Enjeti began his media career as a White House correspondent at The Daily Caller. He served as a media fellow for the Hudson Institute, where he co-hosted the podcast "The Realignment" with Kosloff, and was also a Tony Blankley fellow at the Steamboat Institute. He later co-hosted "Rising" on The Hill with Ball, where the program became known for its populist and anti-establishment commentary. The show attracted a significant audience, including public figures such as Joe Rogan.

During their tenure on "Rising," Enjeti and Ball co-authored the book "The Populist's Guide to 2020: A New Right and New Left are Rising," which explores the rise of the Trump and Sanders movements and presents their vision for working-class-centered politics.

Enjeti and Ball left "Rising" to launch "Breaking Points," which quickly became a leading political podcast and achieved significant growth on YouTube. The show features independent news and commentary, with Enjeti representing a right-wing populist perspective and Ball a left-wing populist viewpoint. "Breaking Points" has ranked among the most popular podcasts on platforms such as YouTube and Spotify, reflecting a growing demand for independent media that challenges establishment narratives.

Enjeti has appeared on "The Lex Fridman Podcast" to discuss topics including American history, presidential power, and political realignment. He is recognized for his populist perspective, critique of establishment politics, and focus on issues such as economic nationalism, U.S.-China relations, and immigration policy. Enjeti's work continues to influence political discourse and independent media in the United States.
