Why can a student get a loan with no collateral, but an entrepreneur with a real business plan can't get a dime?

Founder of Royal Restrooms David Sauers joins Political No-Brainer to expose the truth about small business loans , business funding , and why banks demand everything as collateral. From turning a disgusting porta-potty experience into a 50+ location national brand, to his new mission helping young entrepreneurs with Airy Transit, David breaks down what's broken — and how to fix it.

We also dig into tariffs, buying direct from China vs. supporting US businesses, K-12 financial literacy, and Jeff's trillion-dollar idea: what if America invested in startups the way it writes off student debt?
