  • Silence JVL

    Catherine Rampell is a good listen. JVL constantly interrupts her and his comments are not funny or interesting. Stating the obvious in snarky fashion is boring.

  • Mostly good

    Catherine is good but also snooty and dismissive of guests. Which is fine. Just don’t invite them! Be the expert. And JVL needs to take a class on comedic timing and another one on reading the room. He’s smart. His set ups and windups are just endless and boring and I wish they would stop. It’s super annoying and it really wrecks the flow of the show/s.

  • Sadly, a missed opportunity

    Catherine Rampell is incredibly articulate in discussing economic topics. Unfortunately, she's constantly and rudely interrupted and thrown off course by JVL's immature and narcissistic attempts at "humor", typically with sour wisecracks that contribute nothing to the discourse; instead, his acerbic "jokes" diminish Catherine's excellent explanatory work.

    JVL is highly intelligent, and I agree with him ideologically on most topics, but his refusal to reign in his compulsion to be "witty" takes... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

15: Brendan Boyle Has a Warning for Trump’s Project 2025 Mastermind (Plus: Sam Stein)
Q: Has the White House given you or any of your colleagues any indication that they might work with you on reform of the debt ceiling if Democrats take back the House? And do you think they would?
Boyle says Trump has publicly supported eliminating the debt ceiling and that he sees an opportunity for a permanent reform deal that serves both parties and the national interest.
15: Brendan Boyle Has a Warning for Trump’s Project 2025 Mastermind (Plus: Sam Stein)
Q: What are you going to do on day one to fulfill the affordability promise?
Boyle says reversing health care cuts should be the top priority, alongside addressing tariffs and the consequences of the Iran war.
12: Oil Prices Spike to $117 Over Fear of Iran War Escalation (w/ JVL)
Q: Do you actually believe that [gas prices and the promised economic gains] will come on November 4th if Republicans retain power?
JVL doubts that prices will fall after the election and suggests Trump may instead escalate the conflict afterward, then attribute higher oil and gas prices to Democrats.
12: Oil Prices Spike to $117 Over Fear of Iran War Escalation (w/ JVL)
Q: How do you think voters will respond to all of that?
JVL says rising oil prices and the prospect of renewed conflict could create economic pain and political risk for Trump, while suggesting Trump might delay escalation until after the midterms and later blame Democrats for market consequences.
13: Mark Cuban Goes Nuclear on America’s Healthcare Giants
Q: And in the Democratic Party today, it feels like sort of the litmus test for advancing is a declaration of support for Medicare for All. I'm just curious how you think about that as a new litmus test for rising figures in the Democratic Party.
Cuban calls the litmus test ridiculous and argues that universal care needs a detailed, stakeholder-led implementation plan rather than a slogan. He favors first improving price and contract transparency, then using that information to develop workable budgets and coverage approaches.
