Another 2008... Or Worse?

Charlie Kirk
About this episode

Over the weekend, America suffered yet another bank collapse, the biggest since 2008 and the second-worst in American history. While the media runs wild with coverage of the irrelevant Met Gala, Charlie focuses on the real story: The American banking sector is headed for serious pain, and every ordinary American is at risk. Charlies investigates how we got here, whether 2023 could be worse than 2008, and  whether this is all by accident...or if it could be going according to someone's plan.
