  • Elitist Establishment Echo Chamber

    This podcast puts Trump Derangement Syndrome on full display. They have many guests on the program to agree with each other and inflate their egos. Not sure why they need so many people to say the same thing.

    I guess these failed elitists need to reaffirm their relevance amidst the crumble of their corrupt institutions due to their utter incompetence and continued loss of trust.

    I’m a regular listener to understand their thinking to craft my investment strategies informed by their ignorance.

  • Love this show, love Mark, Marisa, & Cristian - but the first AI episode hard to listen to…

    I love the show…but first episode on AI works much better on YouTube than on podcast - somehow seeing talking heads makes all the umming and ahhing and incomplete sentences less distracting ….…….Zooming out to the podcast overall: Reasonable dialogue, collegial interaction between the hosts…such a great model for podcasting, finance, and working together.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Charlie Cook on the Election
Q: What do you see the candidates shaping up to look like in 2028?
Cook expects a large Democratic field with many liberal candidates and says both parties should prioritize nominees who can win purple states, survive scrutiny and raise money. He expects Republicans to choose someone conservative but potentially outside Trump's immediate circle.
Charlie Cook on the Election
Q: What do you think? How is this going to play out?
Cook says the race shifted in late summer as Republican support weakened, especially in rural and agriculture-linked areas. He forecasts a decisive Democratic House victory and expects Democrats to gain enough Senate seats for a majority.
Bending, Not Breaking
Q: How is lending activity? How does it feel to you?
Toohig describes a strong first half of 2026 followed by a slowdown as rates rose. Mortgage and commercial real estate activity face pressure, while home equity lines of credit are particularly active.
Bending, Not Breaking
Q: Can you just describe to everyone what the Whole Loan Trading Business is all about?
Toohig says it involves selling loans in their original, whole form rather than packaging or slicing them into securities. Banks, credit unions, insurers and other lenders use these trades to manage balance sheets and liquidity.
Survey Says…
Q: How does this play into the election?
Leer says consumer sentiment is working against Republicans in some races, with Trump underwater in states including Kansas and Texas. Affordability is a major concern, and both parties' voters show notable agreement on data center regulation as a priority.
