Tucker Carlson Stirs Up Hornets Nest, Points it at Bank of America + Listener Financial Q&A

<p><strong>Today's main topic, unless you have been under a rock in the banking world is Tucker Carlson, widely popular Fox News host, with millions of viewers every night, pointing his anger at Bank of America.
