What is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — and why are so many powerful people trying to destroy it? In this episode of The People’s Cabinet, Dan sits down with CFPB Director Rohit Chopra to unpack what the agency actually does, how it protects everyday Americans, and what’s at stake as both Big Tech and political forces try to erode its power. From junk fees to AI-driven manipulation, Chopra lays out the future of consumer protection — and how we fight back.
We cover:
•How Trump is trying to defang the CFPB — and what’s still at risk
•Why tech and finance executives see the CFPB as a threat
•The next wave of consumer harms and how AI makes it worse
•What the CFPB is doing to protect Americans in a rapidly changing economy
• What people can do to fight back today
This is how consumer protection actually works — and how it gets undermined.
