In hour two we're talking finances! The guys dive into why the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau exists, which Trump and DOGE want to do away with. We also take a look back at a prior realization, by Alan Greenspan, that deregulation was bad, with words from him about what caused the great recession. Later, we chat with Mike McCabe as we do every Wednesday, this time by phone, about the uncanny similarities, yet stark differences, between Charlie Chaplin and Adolf Hitler. Chaplin's distain for Hitler was showcased in his 1940 parody movie "The Great Dictator." Wrapping up the show, the conversation turns to AI, as Mike reflects on JD Vance's call to not regulate the new technology.
