713: New Mediocre

Operation Chokepoint, Banking Restrictions, Gun Shop Targeting

A report from "The Kelly File" investigates "Operation Chokepoint," a government program allegedly used to pressure banks into closing accounts for "objectionable" businesses like gun shops and pawn stores. The hosts discuss the case of a Florida gun shop owner whose accounts were closed by SunTrust Bank without explanation. They compare this to the financial de-platforming of WikiLeaks and express concern that podcasts could be next.
