Senate Republicans on Wednesday passed a measure to allow payment apps like Venmo and PayPal to return to ideological debanking—repealing a rule implemented in December by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Repeal of the rule would leave users of the apps in limbo, as the laws protecting consumers would still be in place, but the rule enforcing the law—and the bureau with the capacity to enforce it—would not.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the bill, which has not yet passed in the House, and how it will allow these payment app companies to deny service to individuals or groups on ideological grounds.
Plus segments on Americans’ declining support for Israel, Matt Taibbi’s perspective on why the left should support Kash Patel’s efforts to reform the FBI and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s bellicose rhetoric toward China.
Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Al Pacino!
