Ali Veshi and Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBC

Those of you who are at home during the day would like this show. It's on from 11 am until noon, they discuss business, finance and the economy and they call out the Republicans on their lies.

Both have an extensive history in business and the economy, so have the knowledge to really push back on some of the insane statements by Trump and the GOP.

They have great chemistry, both are extremely intelligent, and they don't let anyone get away with bullshit.

Sorry to be so graphic but these words are accurate. I bet he made a beeline for the bathroom when the interview was over.

but economics is a subject that many Americans don't really understand and the Republicans normally have an easy time with reporters when spouting their BS about tax cuts and trickle down economics.

6. I have an enormous crush on Stephanie Ruhle...she is fierce and always on, literally!

She is the hardest working person at MSNBC (not named Joy Reid! LOL)...she has an AM show of her own from 9-10 EST and then another with Ali Veshi later from 11-12 EST... in addition to making guest spots on Morning Joe regularly in the 8 AM EST hour AND on the 11th Hour with Brian Williams...honestly I have no idea when she finds time to sleep or go home at all on these days, unless she just camps out at the studio!

It is also helpful that she is assertive and a good host/questioner of guests and rarely sits back and lets them spew talking points without being challenged.

8. Yesterday they had Ali go on one of the other shows that was interviewing Kudlow

Ali kicked the living shit out of Larry. Kudlow was defending tRump's racist comments, basically because Larry wants tax cuts. Kudlow transitioned to GDP growth of 4% will occur due to cuts. They transitioned to Ali a minute or so later with a question regarding tRump, Ali went directly to the Kudlow claim and spent his time knocking the shit out of him for his lies.

. . .and in greater detail, Kudlow has been wrong on every macroeconomic prediction he's made since the mid-80's.

To paraphrase a line from Streets of Fire, "The only problem with kickin' your ass Larry, is that it'd be too easy."

They literally shut down all his lies about Trump is improving the economy. I do wish some of these hosts would go back to past repuke economic policies like major tax breaks, deregulation, etc. and how they helped bring about recessions and depressions.
