    Unfortunately, the hosts and reporters always seem to paint a negative picture of the economy, and America. If you listen to this podcast you could come away thinking America’s a pretty awful place. Wish it was objective, not political

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can't Get an IMAX Ticket? That's Kind of the Point.
Q: What factors do you look for when selecting films for IMAX?
We evaluate scale, how the movie would look in IMAX, the director, the studio, the promotion plan, and how much time the film needs—timing and exclusivity play major roles in deciding whether a film fits our theaters.
Can't Get an IMAX Ticket? That's Kind of the Point.
Q: Do you remember how much you bought IMAX for?
We bought IMAX and another company called RideFilm for around $100 million, aiming to add pizzazz to the brand and bring more life to the experience.
Do Sanctions Still Work?
Q: Is sanctions policy effective enough to end the war on its own, or is it only one tool among many?
Sanctions are not a standalone solution; they must be combined with other economic, political, and military measures, including robust support for Ukraine and enforcement mechanisms.
Do Sanctions Still Work?
Q: Could the president use these tariffs on countries beyond the top five purchasers of Russian oil and gas?
There is a chance the president could use broader powers, but the framework is designed to target the top buyers with exemptions for smaller purchasers, and evaders will face penalties.
Do Sanctions Still Work?
Q: Would this new tariffs framework actually force countries like China and India to change their behavior toward Russia?
Tariffs could create leverage and incentivize changes, but it may take time and would depend on the countries' willingness to adjust their purchases; the president would likely use the authority strategically, but it's not guaranteed to produce immediate shifts.
