Short Summary

- The hosts argue that positions like Treasury Secretary and Fed Chair demand fierce independence and credibility, especially when reassuring markets during systemic stress.
- Bessant’s strategy of attacking the mainstream media in interviews fails to resonate and signals an inability to focus on core economic duties.
- The potential appointment of a nakedly political hack as Fed Chair risks unwinding established relationships between the central bank and financial markets.

Bessent is so smarmy and arrogant yet so inarticulate🤮
2 am calls are why people with dementia should not have phones at night.
There is nobody in the Trump 2 administration who can qualify as “the adult in the room” . Bessent is just another sycophant.
When Bessent starts lying the ahh's and the stuttering begins....its such a tell!
Waiting for Will Ferrel to mock that fool on SNL.
Him being up at 2am isn’t the flex they think it is.
No one ask Scott where are the 100 deals on tariffs with other countries?? Nobody in the press has any balls! Ask questions about GOP liars!
if he doesn't read the NYTs, how does he know they report lies?
Every Day is the stupidest day until tomorrow.
Look, I was a caregiver for both my husband and mother in law who both had dementia. Both of there sleep patterns where turned upside down. They slept in daytime and was up all night. They’re Drs informed us that’s part of the disease! Why does no media old or new mention this when talking about Trump sleeping on camera!
