Summary

Economist, believer, and author multi-million dollar money manager, David Bahnsen, joins host Casey Harper to unpack the growing trend of debanking—where conservatives and religious Americans face account closures from major financial institutions. Drawing from high-profile cases like Sam Brownback’s, Bahnsen explains how pressure from government “reputational risk” lists and rogue actors inside corporations threaten financial liberty. He emphasizes the importance of transparency over regulation, arguing that market forces and public accountability are the best solutions. The conversation also turns to economic hopelessness among young men and how a return to Biblical principles—faith, hard work, marriage, and responsibility—can restore both personal purpose and national prosperity.
