Sperling was a key negotiator for the 1999 Graham-Leach-Bliley Act, which repealed portions of the Glass-Steagall Act and allowed for the merger of commercial banks and insurance firms. The hosts criticize the appointment, noting that an architect of the policies leading to the 2008 financial crisis is now leading the recovery efforts.

The hosts argue this creates a conflict of interest where advisors profit from the policies they help create.
