This is undoubtedly the best interview you all have ever done. This is what you all were meant for. Tell the truth to the world.

[evelynarndt]

Just found these guys and have watched a couple of interviews. These guys make interviews very interesting! We need to see more programs like this. I learned sooo much.

[jessepinkman]

the quality of this pod is off the charts now

[retiredbitjuggler]

Amazing!!! In my 7 decades on this earth, I have never been afforded such in-depth peaks behind the curtain of the Washington ecosystem. For the first time I now feel a sense of hope that we have competent adults at the helm of this juggernaut. Hopefully, the citizens of this country will take notice and support the effort to right the course and reject the underworld sewer’s status quo we’ve been forced to drift upon. Thanks for these sessions. They are incredible! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This administration is way more open and willing to talk to than any administration I can remember

[timothylindsay]

Great interview. I watched the Lutnick podcast too, superb. Don’t stop, do all the Cabinet Secs, and other key staff. Amazing how everyone is in synch wrt POTUS policy agenda and understands their role. Best cabinet in my 70 yrs on this planet.

[davidmalan]

Mr. Bessent is a clear and concise communicator, how refreshing, especially when related to economics. Great interview! Thanks Dave & Chamanth

[sunilmathew]

The Quality of this poscast is EXCELLENT ! Great quality interviews with great competent questions. Unlike the View !!

[elisinyak]

This is the 3rd interview with Scott that I’ve listened to. Seeing the quality of the people in the administration I am becoming more and more impressed and more and more optimistic about our country’s future.

[jeroldparker]

Scott Bessent is doing an outstanding job, another excellent pic President Trump!

[jockcamarinha]

Great interview. The US is so fortunate to have Mr. Scott Bessent head treasury.

[samshongwe]

Wow, between this interview and Lutnik’s I’d say the caliber of individual talent in the US cabinet is astonishingly impressive.

What elicits these great interviews are the advanced cognitive capacity of the All-In crew, much to our delight.

As a South African (black) this administration is of particular note as they’re the first to actually raise the costs of wayward policy. Ultimately, the betterment of the US is the betterment of the (civilized) world economy.

All the best, team.

[williamrogerson]

This was one of my all time favourite episodes. He has such a great demeanour.

[originator]

This is undoubtedly the best and intellectually stimulating podcast on the internet. Kudos guys ... great job.

[edwardgitonga]

Scott Bessent is a great story teller. Great interview.

[jenniferwilkie]

Incredible interview… after watching this interview, I am more convinced than ever that Trump and his appointments such as Secretary Bessent will be remembered as the most brilliant of all time.
