Inside Congress’ Stock Trading Problem — And the Bill to End It

Michael talks with Congressman Bryan Steil (R-WI), chairman of the House Administration Committee, about a bipartisan push to crack down on congressional stock trading. Steil explains why existing insider-trading laws fall short, how his proposed Stop Insider Trading Act would ban lawmakers from buying individual stocks, and whether the reform could restore public trust in Congress. The conversation dives into ethics, accountability, wealth disparities on Capitol Hill, and whether Washington is finally ready to police itself. Original air date 15 January 2026.
