What the Silicon Valley Bank Collapse Means | Dr. Paul Kupiec

Economist and AEI senior fellow Dr. Paul Kupiec joins Rep. Crenshaw to explain the abrupt collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. They break down in layman's terms what caused the collapse, the failures in regulatory and management oversight, how this will affect taxpayers, and options policymakers must weigh to reform and fortify our financial systems from systemic risk. *Editor's note* Rep. Crenshaw and Dr. Kupiec skipped the standard intro and jumped right into the conversation. Please see below for Dr. Kupiec's bio.

As always- outstanding

Dan Crenshaw is brilliant, real authentic and has all the current requirements for serving as president. He’s enough of a haircut with military experience and injury. He makes incredible sense and would be a great president.
