Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz
Why Federal Reserve and Freddie/Fannie Manipulation Are the Source of Inflation | 5/29/25

We're at another crossroads. There is a growing sense on the Right that we have not solved the inflation and deportation issues. The question is will we make the right plays to achieve them. This begins with a recognition that unless we ignore the courts or strip their jurisdiction in must-pass legislation, this presidency is doomed. Next, we're joined by Alex Pollock, a banking expert at the Mises Institute, who warns that not only have we failed to solve inflation, but some of the current proposals from both parties will further exacerbate it. He explains how the Federal Reserve keeps a Ponzi scheme paid for by consumers in the form of high prices. He also believes that the Fed is fully controlled by Congress and not independent. Relatedly, Pollock believes that complaining about interest rates is addressing the symptom of the very problems created by the "easy money" cartel. Also, he believes it is a mistake to turn Freddie and Fannie back into venture socialist GSE status, which allows for crony private profit off the risk of taxpayers. More easy money and subsidized credit are what got us here; they sure won't solve inflation.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Also, what ever happened to banning mRNA?Next, we tackle the housing crisis caused by government with banking and housing expert Alex Pollock of the Mises Institute. Alex explains the entire nature and history of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginne Mae, and the FHA and how they are inflating the housing market by backing mortgages that are insolvent. Along with the Federal Reserve, they are the source of the housing crisis. Now is the time to unwind them completely, not return them to a venture socialism public-private partnership.

Though inflation has come down somewhat from its peak in the last year, it is still a problem for our economy, brought about in large part by the federal government's responses to the two most recent economic crises. Not to mention the trillions of dollars these crisis responses added to our national debt.

The Federal Reserve has created a vicious and perpetual cycle of inflation. According to today's guest, you should not buy into the propaganda of falling inflation. We're joined by Alex Pollock, a banking expert at the Mises Institute, who is warning that the Federal Reserve is responsible for the housing affordability crisis. He explains in layman's terms how the debt and the Federal Reserve's manipulation of it are making life unaffordable for us on all fronts. He also warns that they are beginning to actualize losses on their balance sheet, which will spawn more money printing and, of course, more inflation. We need to end the Fed's ability to manipulate the economy and focus only on price stability. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It looks like the bill is finally coming due after decades of reckless monetary policy and out of control federal spending. After 40 years of relatively stable prices, we now have raging inflation. Interest rates have risen dramatically. Mortgage rates have more than doubled. And commercial banks are now sitting on more than $600 billion of unrealized bond losses.  Of course, and as expected, with the Silicon Valley Bank bailout, the Regulators have pulled out their default playbook declaring yet another institution systematically risky, taking another step toward the federalization of our banking system.  But there's also something new to worry about: regulatory mission drift. The Fed's historical mandates are to 1) promote price stability and 2) full employment and a safe and sound banking system. But instead, the Fed - and the Treasury - have changed their priorities to promote the progressive policies of climate change and equity.  Joining me to talk all this through are Alex Pollock and Steve Dewey. Both are grizzled veterans of the banking and regulatory world, which, as Alex points out, has been hit by a major crisis every decade since the 1970s. Together we have many decades of experience in financial markets. Alex and I have been conversing with each other, and interrupting each other, for almost fifty years.   Alex is a Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute and was Principal Deputy Director of the Office of Financial Research of the U.S. Treasury Department in 2019 and through 2021. He was also my second boss in the commercial banking world almost 45 years ago and was on my board at Allied Capital Corporation as we worked through the 2008 crisis and its aftermath.  Steve Dewey worked for several years in Asia during the Asian financial crisis and for the FDIC during and after the 2008 financial crisis where he was involved in the resolution of failed banks.  According to Alex, “We are still living in the aftermath of the long manipulation of interest rates and financial markets by the Federal Reserve and the club of central banks worldwide: the vast expansion of money and suppression of interest rates to an abnormally low level. Now we're seeing the results.”   Meantime, rather than being the above-the-fray dispassionate wise actor, the Federal Reserve has become part of the problem:  Just in the last six months, the Fed itself lost $44 billion which exceeds its capital of $42 billion. A big portion of its $8.7 trillion in assets are highly vulnerable to rising interest rates. Ironically, the Fed's interest rate risk is similar to SVB's.  So, what's going to happen next? The Fed and the Treasury seem likely to take more control in the name of risk management. The banking system holds $17 trillion of deposits and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen recently declared that these would be de facto insured by the Treasury, the Fed and the FDIC.   But consider this: the FDIC's deposit insurance fund is $128 billion, which is - putting it mildly - a little short of $17 trillion. Also, if the Fed continues losing money on its mortgage-backed securities, it will be losing over $100 billion a year.    Republican Senator Everett Dirksen, the Minority leader during the 1960s Kennedy-Johnson years, once said “a billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon we're talking real money.” Now we're talking trillions. Has the banking system become to big to save? Will the “solution” be a nationalized bank and a digital currency to prevent a collapse of the system? Or something else? How do the woke climate and equity agendas figure into this?  There's a lot to speculate about here. Join in our conversation for our take on the crisis.  As always, we try to make complicated things easier to understand and nothing right now seems more complicated than our money.

Fifty years ago, on August 15, 1971, President Richard Nixon put the economic and financial world into a new era. By his decision to "close the gold window," he fundamentally changed the international monetary system into the system of today, where the whole world runs on pure fiat currencies. "The dollar was the last ship moored to gold, with all the other currencies on board,and the U.S. cut the anchor and sailed off." Nobody knew how it would turn out. Fifty years later, we are completely used to this post-Bretton Woods monetary world with endemic inflation and floating exchange rates, and take it for granted. Nobody thinks it is even possible to go back to the old world: We are all Nixonians now. How shall we judge the momentous Nixon decision in its context and since? A fundamental question with pluses and minuses remains. Is the international monetary system now permanently open to more money printing and more monetization of government debt, making faith in central banks misplaced, and expectation of an ideal monetary policy foolish?Featuring:-- Alex J. Pollock, Distinguished Senior Fellow, R. Street Institute, Author of Fifty Years Without Gold-- Moderator: Hon. Wayne A.
