Economic Boom? Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Joins the Progrum
đď¸ The fellas sit down with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for a wide-ranging conversation that hits policy, politics, and the pure theater of the moment. We talk through what Trump Accounts are built to doâseed money, compounding, and a real push toward financial literacyâplus how the private sector and states may stack on top of it. We also get into the broader economic pitch: growth, inflation, deficits, and why Bessent thinks the private sector is about to do the heavy lifting. đ° Then we sprint to catch up with Senator Ted Cruz after President Trump riffsâvery publiclyâabout Cruz as a possible Supreme Court pick. Cruz gives us a definitive answer, explains why he doesnât want the robe, and lays out how he sees his role in the middle of policy fights instead. We also get the behind-the-scenes origin story of Trump Accountsâfrom a late-night Vegas poker table to drafting the provision that ends up in the bill.ď¸ đ After the interviews, we talk through what we heard, what it signals for the midterm conversation the fellas are building toward, and we get into listener comments on early Senate predictions. We close it out with our Thursday staple, King of the Hill, where Cheri Jacobus takes on champion Steve Schmidt. 00:00 â Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent 03:16 â What Trump Accounts are and why the media isnât covering it 09:18 â Smugâs big announcement 10:34 â Markets, compounding, and why this is meant to change behavior 14:22 â Davos: what happened with Gavin Newsom 23:32 â Fraud, NGOs, and âbenefits turned into businessâ 31:19 â What âtoo small to succeedâ means 33:32 â Smugâs baby news 44:15 â Trumpâs Cruz riff: Supreme Court chatter goes public 45:35 â Ted Cruz on possible SCOTUS nom 59:18 â King of the Hill Subscribe for more unfiltered conservative commentary, interviews with top leaders, and laughs!
