is the consumer financial watchdog in the doghouse. a district court judge in washington d.c. has ruled that president trump's budget director mick mulvaney the former member of congress can remain as the new acting director of the c.f.p. be the consumer part for a natural protection bureau but mr maule veiny has argued and voted against the very creation of the consumer protection agency bartlett naylor with public citizen is here to tell us what it might mean mr naylor bartlett thanks for joining us we've actually had the pleasure of working together were a member of an elite bar club in washington d.c. so i know you are probably one of the best guys in washington to ask about this subject first let's just do a quick fly by on the decision of the judge what's your take the judge
2:04 pm
denied the request of the end anguish for a temporary restraining order on the ability of nick milvain need to become the the acting director of the c. a p b i think it's up to the courts and presuming this will be appealed to make the final decision i think the argument is that the statute that created the consumer financial protection bureau provides for a succession plan in the absence of the director and that would be the the. the woman in this case lee and anguish there is a compete there is a default law federal vacancies act that provides that in the absence of such a clear statute then the president can name somebody that is confirmed by the senate and that's what the president did with mick mulvaney i personally believe that the law is clear on that that's what the attorney for ms anguish argued before the court that judge appointed by trump deferred. yeah and
2:05 pm
i agree with you i mean when there's a specific language in the wall street reform and consumer protection act of two thousand and ten that. says this is what happens and i want to get to the independence of the c.f.p. be in a moment but for planning purposes let's just assume that theoretically at least mick mulvaney stays at the c.f.p. be for the forseeable future he clearly hates this thing president trump says the agency is a sick joke so what do you think he'll do bartlett on on scaling back the c.f.p. bs work. well given the universe of good works that the c.f.p. b. has accomplished and would plan to accomplish under a sensible leadership the potential harms are enormous. there's a fourth forthcoming rule on payday lending this is the lending that goes to some
2:06 pm
of the most vulnerable of our citizens and that can be this aerated there is a consumer complaint database this is where if you have a complaint with the bank you can petition to the f.c.c. your petition is part of a database that's public you can see if other people had some of those same problems c.f.p. be then contacts the financial institution to see what the problem is and ideally if there is really a problem then restitution is paid this could go dark under mulvaney a host of other potential rulemaking could be simply put in the trash can and he can roll back any number of areas from in foresman we do know that we unfortunately have a very predatory financial industry that is you know lifting the wallets of so many americans. to simply making sure that. companies
2:07 pm
are operating as they should be perhaps the most conspicuous example of misconduct has been wells fargo which created millions of fake accounts in the service of trying to have set meet sales quotas and it was the c.f.p. be that brought this case charging roughly one hundred million dollars in fines and it has made it americans even more aware that companies as big as wells fargo with some five thousand branches can be engaged in such widespread misconduct that type of enforcement could with or could be eliminated under. a director and in. ministration that is called dodd frank a bad law and it's cause and in terms of mick mulvaney he is called the c a p b a sad sick joke. well it's it seems that the that the fox may not just be guarding the hen house the fox may be inside
2:08 pm
the red alert red alert but speaking of money that's been returned to actual consumers i mean it's something like twenty million maybe close to thirty million american consumers had twelve billion with a big dollars that was in or purposely collected returned to them and part of this is a deal with wells fargo but it's also some of the art other large financial institutions bank of america and citibank and do you think that that sort of thing will continue or might mick mulvaney just put an end to that. the worry is that he will put an end to that i think you can measure the hostility of the financial sector by that figure you've mentioned some twelve billion dollars has been returned from this industry to the some thirty million customers from whom it was taken and i think that the the the propensity of financial firms to do that and do it even where
2:09 pm
c f p b is has yet taken for spin action is so pervasive that as that a directive from a new director to to fall asleep or to be less aggressive really imperils the american consumer the financial industry has grown to where it used to absorb something like three cents of every dollar american consumer dollar to something like six cents and it's not because they've become more efficient the way you know your smartphone which probably has more computer power than what got us you know navigated the apollo missions to land on the moon and that has that has grown more efficient more less expensive whereas the. actual sector simply dealing with our money has grown more expensive that's just the overarching plumbing the financial sector in addition to that there are the scams of the hundreds of which that the c. a p p has uncovered and found restitution for the victims all of that is in
2:10 pm
jeopardy under a director again who believes this agency shouldn't exist in the first place. just real quick you mentioned a minute ago about the less fortunate among us and how there is a we know there is a racial wealth gap in the us and see if b b is really chartered to protect consumers from discriminatory practices on mortgages credit cards car loans and we don't want that gap to widen even they've dealt with payday loans and payment of wages with prepaid cards which disproportionately harm people of color minorities can you speak to this sort of a racial injustice issue which i've really heard nobody talk about in all of the c f p b discussion in the last several days explain that yes people of color minorities african-americans latinos are even as we speak under banked they have incomes and banking relationships in a much less lower percentage than their white counterparts and they are prey to
2:11 pm
abusive and predatory lending see if p.b.s. brought in cases against home lenders who are either shunning minorities or charging them higher rates even when they qualify for the better rate credit credit card companies are abusing minorities in much higher levels than they are their white counterparts and see if p.p. has brought a number of these cases and returned again returned money to these victims. without an aggressive c.f.p. be this racial income equality and simply financial justice. it's going to be exacerbated. thank you and you know what it makes me think about one of the reasons that independent agencies are so important is that they can actually remain above politics and this decision by the judge sort of up and
2:12 pm
that and politics comes into play with the new administration and you know that happens in government of course elections have consequences but this agency was set up to not deal with politics as much does this concern you this decision with regard to other financial regulators the other four five that are out there yes this one in particular the see if p.p. was set up to have a senate confirmed independent regulator such that when he or she makes difficult decisions they are immune from influence from politicians with nick bill veiny in there at least temporarily he could be removed at the president's will if were he unlikely were he to take in that sort of step he could be simply removed from office unlike a senate confirmed director that's the single most troubling part of having having him serve there but it is taking place all over the financial regulatory agencies from the controller of the currency to the federal reserve we're putting in wall
2:13 pm
street agents people that you know a few weeks ago were lobbyist the most striking example is a wells fargo attorney who was put in control of america's national banks the agency is called the controller of the currency he's the one that defended wells fargo against a notable class action lawsuit and then at the control of the currency in a temporary position that nominated or named by trump he took all sorts of steps and made pronouncements about completely transforming the banking industry such as for example letting wal-mart and back of america emerge this didn't happen he has now been replaced by a confirmed director but this is an example of what the trump administration seems to be bent on doing is taking all of the guardrails off of wall street and and letting them run too fast and recklessly. well that's one of the reasons why we're really glad to have you public citizens and other groups although there's not many of them and having worked with many consumer
2:14 pm
groups over the years like you have it reminds me of that green day song at boulevard of broken dreams and you know you walk a lonely road and there are not many folks arguing on behalf of average americans versus wall street how do you do it how do you walk that lonely road bartlett yes well to put it in america there are some three thousand wall street lobbyists in this town you know five or six for every member of congress and there's only a couple of dozen of us but on our side is the american public polls show that the american public wants wall street reform and lawmakers and regulators that side with the banks do so at their peril in terms of public opinion i think that. the ravages of the two thousand and eight financial crash are still understood by americans and i think this is expressed at the voting polls the conservative cato found institute actually released
2:15 pm
a poll showing that the majority of the vast majority of americans want strong wall street reform so that when lawmakers and regulators roll back these safeguards they know they're the american public is at some point going to hell that hold them to account at the election booth certainly in the basic popular opinion. yes thank you so much you know one thing we didn't get to and perhaps another time is the campaign contributions by wall street in addition to those five or six lobbyist for every member of congress but bartlett naylor with public citizen you know we've heard some things that i haven't seen any place else in the news today from you so thanks for being with us sharing your expertise and we want you back to keep a close call so and what's going on at the c.f. t.v. thanks for joining us my pleasure thank you for having me. this year we have witnessed so many new individual investors getting into markets
2:16 pm
and they've done so in a typical fashion they're getting into digital currencies and a bunch other things actually this is a far cry from the old school investing scheme you know back in the day perhaps the father sat down with his kids and said something like this sonny boy girly suit let me explain investing to you as a stockholder when you get older you'll recall this chat about stock this stock that you remember that i said with a grin that these shares of a t.n.t. or something akin will be worth something then so we're going to hold all of these bad boys one day when then arise we'll be rich it will change our lives that's how well the rise high fives. that's not exactly how things are going right now traders right now aren't just buying and holding forever so we're going short they're buying only for a little bit of time and what prices might be in a few weeks to a few months as opposed to long term so trading markets is morphing as are the
2:17 pm
traders themselves more millennial to accept or just be careful out there there are currently a lots of schemes that could take advantage of you make sure you're not getting into something that could be fraudulent there is a risk with every investment again just be careful thanks for watching if you're to catch boom bust on you tube at youtube dot com slash boom bust r.t. c n x time.
