| 0:00.0 | Welcome to another episode of The Chicks on the Right podcast where we talk to our friend and sponsor |
| 0:04.3 | the show Zach Abraham from Bullwark Capital Management. And it's kind of a big news week, as it always is right now with Trump. |
| 0:12.1 | And so over the past weekend, he decided to tweet that he is calling for a cap on credit card interest rates of 10% for a year. And so we talked about |
| 0:27.0 | this on our show, kind of just saying, you know, saying this doesn't feel like a particularly |
| 0:32.1 | conservative policy, you know, to put price controls on a company, you know, in this fashion. |
| 0:40.3 | And it doesn't seem like he can do it without Congress. |
| 0:44.3 | What is your take? |
| 0:47.3 | So I'm with you when you talk about it not feeling like a very conservative thing but one of the things that |
| 0:56.3 | i've learned about um political policy as it relates to finances and economics is there's so often |
| 1:06.3 | where we get into these 20 and 30 years cycles and we think that this is the way it's always been |

| 1:35.9 | so in the 1900s, when Teddy Roosevelt took over, remember at the time, you kind of had a similar |

| 1:52.7 | to the issue is now which is too much financial power consolidated in too few hands at that time |
| 1:59.0 | they were using the truss is kind of the vehicle to do that and And what did Teddy do? He came in and bust up the trust. He had all of the, as a matter of fact, that's what cost him the Republican nomination for president. That's why he ran as a bull moose. They had the bull moose party because he ticked off all the conservatives, right? Now, you look back on it. |
| 2:19.6 | Today, if we saw somebody doing that, |
