In this special episode of SPPI-TV, Southwest Public Policy Institute President Patrick M. Brenner joins Stacy Washington on SOTR Nights to discuss SPPI’s groundbreaking report, Swipe Right: How Comparison Shopping Tools and Lead Generators Revolutionize Consumer Access to Products and Services.
They explore how digital platforms like Credit Karma and NerdWallet empower everyday Americans—especially those with limited credit access—by expanding financial choices and increasing transparency. Patrick shares his personal story, outlines the threats posed by federal overreach from the CFPB and FCC, and explains why preserving consumer-driven innovation is essential for economic liberty.
If you care about free markets, personal responsibility, and fighting back against bureaucratic control, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
