Are interest rate caps on credit cards a lifeline for struggling Americans—or a ticking time bomb that could wreck the economy overnight? That's the million-dollar question we tackle in this episode of The Brian Nichols Show. Politicians like Josh Hawley, AOC, and Bernie Sanders are pitching a 10% interest cap as the solution to crushing consumer debt—but is this really about helping the little guy, or just another Trojan horse for more government control? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS Brian sits down with Tyler Curtis to break down the real-world impact of these proposed credit card caps, and spoiler alert—it's not all sunshine and savings. Tyler, a seasoned loan officer and contributor to the Mises Institute, explains how these feel-good proposals could actually gut access to credit for millions of working-class Americans. Think fewer credit cards, higher risk, and a fast track to payday lenders and government handouts. We unpack why interest rates on unsecured debt like credit cards are higher than mortgages and car loans—and why that makes total sense if you understand risk. But it gets worse. The proposed caps could make credit cards virtually disappear for 80%+ of current cardholders, especially those who actually need them the most. That's not financial freedom. That's financial lockdown. Brian and Tyler also explore the deeper issue: Americans are hurting. We get why this sounds good on paper. People are desperate for relief—but short-term political fixes often come with long-term pain. Instead of rate caps, we explore real solutions like tax relief, reducing spending, and empowering communities to help one another outside of Washington. If you're tired of politicians playing economic games with your future, this episode is a must-watch. It's not about defending big banks—it's about defending your access to opportunity. Whether you're drowning in debt or just want to understand what's really going on, this conversation will change the way you look at your wallet—and your vote. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

We're at another crossroads. There is a growing sense on the Right that we have not solved the inflation and deportation issues. The question is will we make the right plays to achieve them. This begins with a recognition that unless we ignore the courts or strip their jurisdiction in must-pass legislation, this presidency is doomed. Next, we're joined by Alex Pollock, a banking expert at the Mises Institute, who warns that not only have we failed to solve inflation, but some of the current proposals from both parties will further exacerbate it. He explains how the Federal Reserve keeps a Ponzi scheme paid for by consumers in the form of high prices. He also believes that the Fed is fully controlled by Congress and not independent. Relatedly, Pollock believes that complaining about interest rates is addressing the symptom of the very problems created by the "easy money" cartel. Also, he believes it is a mistake to turn Freddie and Fannie back into venture socialist GSE status, which allows for crony private profit off the risk of taxpayers. More easy money and subsidized credit are what got us here; they sure won't solve inflation.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Elon Musk's self-proclaimed “free speech” haven, Twitter, is exposed as a digital dictatorship where dissenters are crushed with ruthless shadow bans.

In this episode, Bob breaks down the Triffin dilemma, explaining why it's wrong to assume that maintaining global reserve currency status requires ever-increasing U.S. trade deficits. He shows that America's chronic deficits are driven more by government spending and fiat money than by global necessity, making the case that returning to fiscal discipline and sound money—not tariffs—is the key to reversing America's economic decline.Bob and Jonathan Newman on Misleading Charts: Mises.org/HAP495aHow Economists Evaluate Tariffs Versus Income Taxes: Mises.org/HAP495bThe St. Louis Federal Reserve Article on Historical U.S. Trade Deficits: Mises.org/HAP495cThe Charts Referenced in this Episode: Mises.org/HAP495dSaez and Zucman, "The Rise of Income and Wealth Inequality in America": Mises.org/HAP495eTrump's Remarks on the US being a "Tariff-Backed Nation": Mises.org/HAP495fThe Tucker Carlson Show with Bob Lighthizer: Mises.org/HAP495gThe Mises Institute is giving away 100,000 copies of Murray Rothbard's, What Has Government Done to Our Money?
