    Sometimes I feel that they’re too smart to be as gullible as they around Bari Weiss. I can’t think of anything she’s done that they’d give her the benefit of the doubt headed into CBS. Also did they see the Erika Kirk interview? She was tossed softball after softball. Can’t believe they said she was “grilled.”

  • Notre Dame discussion

    Love the powers that be but I fear Hamby needs a bigger social circle. He says he doesn’t know anyone who doesn’t think Alabama would “gut” ND head to head. But before the final rankings, oddsmakers had ND favored over Bama (and Oklahoma and Miami too) on a neutral field. Also, ND had better odds than Bama to win the whole thing. Unfortunately, the committee left the hottest team in the country (except perhaps Indiana) out of the playoff. It’s a shame.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S.B.F.’s $114B Exit Strategy
Q: What is the current status of his appeals and potential for a distant overturn?
The Second Circuit has not overturned the conviction, and the odds of a successful appeal appear slim, leaving a bleak short-term outlook for a new trial or pardon.
S.B.F.’s $114B Exit Strategy
Q: What role do Trump and Republican alignment play in his strategy?
There's a belief that aligning with Trump could help leverage a presidential pardon or commutation, but current indications suggest that path is unlikely to bear fruit in the near term.
S.B.F.’s $114B Exit Strategy
Q: Walk me through what Sam Bankman-Fried is doing to try to get out of jail and what legal avenues remain.
He is pursuing a new trial via the Southern District of New York while also weighing recusal and potential appeals, but the judge denied his recusal and rejected the new-trial request, making his path to freedom increasingly narrow.
Wall Street’s Iran Bump
Q: When might this party end, given the wild cards in Washington and in global markets?
There's no clear endpoint; while some indicators suggest a moderation ahead, the majority of bank earnings and liquidity tailwinds point to continued strength through 2025 and beyond, with the trajectory depending on policy changes and geopolitical developments.
Wall Street’s Iran Bump
Q: Okay, the disconnect is apparent. What is your explanation for why the markets keep going up, even with Iran tensions and higher interest rates?
The market is buoyed by abundant liquidity, the profitability of the big banks, and the structural dynamics of capital markets that reward trading and capital deployment even amid macro risks; there is also a belief that policymakers and the Fed will navigate inflation without triggering a full-blown recession.
