Your News Talk America with Jake Smith

Daily Show Notes · June 30, 2026

9:00 · Are the Dem-Coms Trying to Take Control of Private Financial Institutions?

Jake opens on Senator Elizabeth Warren's latest target: private credit, the fast growing world of non bank lenders that finance small and mid sized businesses. Phil Kerpen of American Commitment argues Warren is manufacturing a crisis to justify new federal control over capital markets.

• Warren's May 13, 2026 letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and SEC Chairman Paul Atkins warns of a private credit induced financial crisis and demands sweeping new controls.
• Private credit fills the lending gap left when traditional banks pulled back after Dodd-Frank, Basel III, and layers of federal rules.
• Kerpen says the sector grew past $2 trillion because it meets a real economic need, not because it poses a danger.
• He argues Warren wants to block Americans without a pension from adding private credit to their retirement accounts, denying them higher returns and lower volatility.
• His bottom line: streamline bank regulation rather than choke private credit, and let markets allocate capital.

• It calls to cancel all student loan and medical debt, reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act, end corporate personhood, and cap maximum wages.
• It proposes new wealth taxes, higher estate taxes, and taxes on financial transactions, capital gains, and luxury purchases.
