President Donald Trump and Federal Housing Finance Agency director Bill Pulte have floated the idea of a 50-year mortgage as a potential way to make homebuying more affordable. The president has said that longer mortgages would lower borrowers' monthly payments, which is true — but at what cost? And later, 47 economists filed an amicus brief in Trump's tariffs case before the Supreme Court. We'll unpack what they said.

We've got ourselves a good old-fashioned legislative brawl over hemp. The Senate just shut down Rand Paul's amendment that tried to strip out restrictions on intoxicating hemp products from the new government funding deal. This is the kind of hemp that doesn't quite fall under marijuana, the THCA and Delta-9 stuff that's skirted federal legality thanks to a 2018 farm bill maneuver. Paul, joined by Ted Cruz and a solid group of Democrats, argued this would gut the hemp industry in Kentucky and beyond. Mitch McConnell, of all people, led the charge in cracking down — he wants to shut down what he sees as a loophole before he exits stage right in 2026.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The hemp industry is pissed. They lobbied hard, warning this will lead to job losses, ruined crops, and wiped-out businesses. But some law enforcement groups, anti-drug organizations, and even alcohol and legal marijuana folks were all in favor. They argue the current situation puts minors at risk and needs to be cleaned up. Rand Paul says his fight wasn't about holding up the government funding, but rather making sure someone in the Senate stood up for hemp farmers. Still, the amendment failed, and the broader bill — restrictions included — is going to move forward. And unless something magical happens in the House, it looks like the loophole days are done.Personally, I'm pretty skeptical of the idea that we're one bad gummy away from chaos in the streets. I've never bought the whole “kids are going to die if we don't regulate this tomorrow” pitch. That's not to say we shouldn't have age restrictions and public usage laws — we definitely should — but we need to be real about this. America needs a consistent weed policy. We're in this weird limbo where it's both legal and illegal, regulated and unregulated, and the result is that nobody really knows what's what.The 50-Year Mortgage PlanDonald Trump floated the idea of a 50-year mortgage on Truth Social, and it immediately got dragged on cable news. Fox Business host Charlie Payne slammed the plan as a bad way to fix housing affordability. The math doesn't lie: you might pay less per month, but in the long run, you'd nearly double the total cost of the house. That didn't stop Bill Pulte, head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, from calling it a game-changer. But Pulte's now facing heat because this idea just doesn't have a lot of fans.The appeal is pretty simple. You give younger buyers a way into the housing market with a lower monthly payment. Maybe that helps them get in the game earlier, buy a house in their twenties, start building equity. But let's be honest — the problem isn't just the monthly payment. It's the cost of everything. I didn't buy a house in my twenties because I wasn't ready, and I wanted to live a little. That's not a mortgage issue. That's a culture issue.And when I finally did buy, I didn't care how long the mortgage was. I cared about location, timing, and whether I actually wanted to settle down. A 50-year mortgage might help on the margins, but it's not the silver bullet for housing affordability. Maybe it gets a few people in the door earlier. Maybe not. But it's certainly not going to fix the system.Schumer on the Hot SeatChuck Schumer is taking incoming fire from all directions. After eight Senate Democrats voted with Republicans to end the shutdown, a lot of progressives decided enough was enough. Groups like MoveOn and Indivisible are now calling for Schumer to resign. Even some moderates are joining the chorus. They say he's out of touch, ineffective, and unable to confront Trump in any meaningful way.MoveOn claims 80% of their members want Schumer out. Representatives like Rashida Tlaib, Ro Khanna, and Seth Moulton have all voiced their displeasure. But over in the House, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is standing by Schumer. He gave a full-throated endorsement, saying Schumer is the right man for the job and that his fight during the shutdown was valiant. So at least publicly, Schumer isn't going anywhere.But this does shine a spotlight on the growing rift within the Democratic Party. The progressives want more aggression, more resistance, and less compromise. Schumer's old-school Senate style — the backroom deals, the procedural wrangling — doesn't cut it for them anymore. Whether or not this turns into an actual leadership challenge is still up in the air. But the frustration is loud and growing, and Chuck is smack in the middle of it.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:39 - Latest on Shutdown00:04:21 - Interview with Kirk Bado00:29:16 - Update00:29:52 - Hemp Products00:33:57 - 50-Year Mortgages00:37:58 - Calls for Schumer to Resign00:41:41 - Interview with Kirk Bado (con't)01:08:10 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Donald Trump shipped 50% of USRDA of crazy overseas this weekend, with a trip to Israel and Egypt to collect some unusual MAGA hats, and to try to get into heaven. The good news is, the hostage/prisoner swap has taken place and the guns are (at least temporarily) silent. Or at least that's what we hear. But we hear a lot of things about this deal. Many people must be saying them. The weekend at home was therefore about half as crazy as usual, but routine in all the sad ways they sometimes are. The loss of an entertainment icon, for one. And lots of gun violence, in places where zero National Guard troops are on their way. Essential background on a continuing source of crazy—Bill Pulte—proves once again how deeply weird top Trumpers really are. The rich are different. By which we mean weirder than normal weird. Normies, by contrast, are still pretty normal. Which only makes the Deeply Weird that much more suspicious of them, given that they're usually busy committing the same violations, but on a much grander scale. The “case against” Letitia James continues in what we can only hope is its death spiral, which can only surprise Pam Bondi in that she was apparently surprised by the case being brought at all. Is it just a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing? If so, it's not limited to the DOJ. The CDC, for instance, fired everybody in sight over the weekend, then scrambled to rehire them (again) before Monday. Dominion Voting Systems is under new ownership, by which we mean Republican. Going forward, the company appears poised to forgive defamation judgments against… Republicans and just maybe, “Twitter files-style,” prove its new owners “right” about vote-rigging. Would that be enough to ensure success in 2026? If not, Gop activists in Oregon have a proposed solution: kick the Oregon (and maybe Washington) delegations out of Congress. Lastly, a reminder that the traditions of “judicial deference” and the “presumption of regularity” are earned benefits, not entitlements. And at least one judge has laid out a path forward on that. (I mean, what kind of judgemental deference do you give to a guy promising you 1,500% discounts?)
Trump's hit man Bill Pulte's finger prints are all of the 2 count indictment in which Trump has framed NY AG Leticia James for mortgage fraud. One look at the threadbare indictment tells you all you need to know that it is highly unlikely that they will sustain a conviction against James, and much more likely that it will be dismissed for prosecutorial misconduct and vindictive prosecution. Michael Popok has the indictment (and the Biden-appointed Judge assigned to the case) and walks the audience through next steps.

It's Friday, October 10th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Sudanese Muslims threaten to take over Christian school A years-long Islamist attempt to seize a Christian school in Sudan, Africa continued this month even as people displaced by war have taken refuge in the facility, reports Morning Star News. On September 3rd, an Islamic business interest sent three Muslims who forcefully entered the embattled Evangelical School of Sudan, located in the city of Omdurman across the Nile River from Sudan's capital of Khartoum. They threatened hundreds of mostly Christian people displaced by internal war, telling them to leave the compound. The intruders made their way to the office of the headmaster of the school, which belongs to the Sudan Presbyterian Evangelical Church and broke the office door. Without giving a deadline, the intruders threatened to take the facility by force. Psalm 10:2 says, “In arrogance, the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised.” President Trump helped orchestrate Israel-Hamas peace deal At his Cabinet meeting yesterday morning, President Donald Trump discussed the historic peace deal he helped to negotiate between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian Muslim terrorist group, to end the two-year-long war. TRUMP: “It's really peace in the Middle East.” It was part of his 20-point peace plan to end the conflict. TRUMP: “We ended the war in Gaza, and really, on a much bigger basis, created peace. And I think it's going to be a lasting peace, hopefully an everlasting peace. Peace in the Middle East. We secured the release of all of the remaining hostages. It'll be a day of joy. “I'm going to try and make a trip over. We're going to go to Egypt, where we'll have a signing, an additional signing. We've already had a signing representing me, but we're going to have an official signing. So, it's been really something incredible that nobody thought it was possible to get it done.” On Friday, Israel's government ratified a ceasefire with Hamas, clearing the way to suspend hostilities in Gaza within 24 hours and free Israeli hostages held there within 72 hours after that, reports Reuters. Twenty Israeli hostages are still believed to be alive in Gaza, while 26 are presumed dead, and the fate of two is unknown. Hamas has indicated that recovering the bodies of the dead may take longer than releasing those who are alive. The living Israeli hostages are set to be released on Monday or Tuesday as Israel simultaneously prepares to release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. Many world leaders praised President Trump for his administration's role in brokering the deal. Celebrations have erupted across Israel and Gaza, as the region welcomes the peace agreement, reports TheEpochTimes.com. TRUMP: “So, I want to express my tremendous gratitude to the leaders of Qatar, Egypt and Turkey, for helping us reach this incredible day and for being there. They were there with us all the way. And of course, as you know, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, and so many. I will tell you, [Turkey] President [Recep] Erdogan was personally involved in dealing with Hamas and some of the others. He's been great. They've all been really amazing. Indonesia has been amazing. “The whole world has come together for this. People that didn't get along, people that didn't like each other, neighboring countries, that, frankly, didn't like each other. But now this is a moment in time.” At the cabinet meeting yesterday morning, Trump noted that this was the eighth major world conflict he helped to resolve in the first eight months of his second term. TRUMP: “We settled seven. This is number eight. We settled seven wars, or major conflicts, but wars. The one that I thought would be, maybe the quickest of all, would be Russia- Ukraine. And I think that's going to happen too. In the meantime, they're losing about 7,000 people a week, and that seems pretty bad. They're losing mostly soldiers, young soldiers. They go out to war and they're getting killed.” Pro-Israel activist: President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace prize President Donald Trump is being hailed as a peacemaker worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize after securing phase one of an "historic" Gaza peace agreement between Israel and Hamas, reports FoxNews. In an interview on Fox & Friends with Ainsely Earhart, pro-Israel activist Lizzy Savetsky was ecstatic. SAVETSKY: “I think that the Jewish people across the world have really been holding our breath for the past two years, especially knowing that so many of our brothers are being held in the tunnels of Gaza, being tortured, starved, and knowing that they're finally going to get to come home, knowing that we finally have a chance for real peace that could only be achieved through strength and military pressure on the horizon. “I just feel a great sense of relief. They were popping champagne in Hostage Square. This is news that we have been praying and praying and praying for for the past two years.” EARHARDT: “What is your message to President Trump?” SAVETSKY: “Thank you so much for having the courage to do this. I have thanked God every single day that you are our president. This is why I campaigned for you. This is why my fellow Jews campaigned for you. “We knew that you were the only one who could get this done. You deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. This is historic, and we are just endlessly grateful. President Trump, thank you. thank you, thank you.” Matthew 5:9 says, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” Chicago Mayor vs Donald Trump over National Guard in Windy City Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson takes issue with President Donald Trump's decision to send in the National Guard to protect the people of Chicago from street violence. JOHNSON: “You know, as far as what we are hearing, the National Guard. First of all, it's illegal, unconstitutional. It's dangerous; it's wrong. This is not about deportation. This is not about safety for this President. This is about authoritarianism. It's about stoking fear. It's about breaking the Constitution that would give him that much more control over our American cities.” In 2024, there were 573 homicides in Chicago. And between January 1, 2025 and October 6th, there have already been another 331 homicides in the Windy City. For 13 consecutive years, Chicago has had the most murders of any American city. New York Attorney General Letitia James indicted on mortgage fraud New York state Attorney General Letitia James was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury in Virginia on at least one charge of mortgage fraud, reports the New York Post. Federal housing regulator Bill Pulte referred James to the Justice Department in April. He claimed that she “falsified records” to get sweetheart home loans for a Virginia property that she claimed as her “principal residence” in 2023 — while she was starting her second term as New York's top prosecutor in New York City. Pulte suggested that James had committed crimes including wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud, and false statements to a financial institution, among other offenses. Arsonist who started Palisades Fire in L.A. arrested And finally, Jonathan Rinderknecht, the man accused of starting the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles on January 1, 2025, was arrested Tuesday, reports The Western Journal. According to KNBC-TV in Los Angeles, by January 31, the fire he set had burned through more than 23,000 acres, killed 12 people, and burned 7,000 homes and businesses to the ground. Rinderknecht, now living in Melbourne, Florida, was charged with destruction of property by means of fire. At the press conference, Bill Essayli, the acting U.S. attorney, said this. ESSAYLI: “As the world watched in horror as the Palisades fire burned, victims perished in the smoke and flames. Homes, where cherished family memories and belongings, were turned to rubble and ash. The iconic Pacific Coast Highway along Malibu looked like a war zone. And thousands of people were forced to evacuate. “Though homes and businesses cannot be rebuilt, this arrest, we hope, will provide a measure of justice to all those who were impacted.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, October 10th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Greg Dworkin took a break from supervising the construction of his new walk-in shower to join us and KITM and David Waldman for our Thursday chat. Trump had Jimmy Kimmel disappeared in broad daylight yesterday... ABC wanted to do its part in building the national information hegemony and FCC chair Brendan Carr was happy to lend them a hand, one way or the other. Every person that Trump wanted to anger or sadden has been angered or saddened by the news. Teddy Roosevelt would have been against this treason, and the monopolies too. Oh no, now Stephen King too! Now ABC has been cancelled! (It's the Australian one though, as if that mattered to Trump.) In order to streamline the administration's persecution efforts, all “woke” will henceforth be known as “Antifa”, and illegal. All “Groypers” will be “Leftists” until further notice. Charlie Kirk hasn't yet been added to the Pledge of Allegiance, because Trump has dibs on that slot. They might mandate that his tiny little face be etched into all Confederate statues though. Why can't Democrats manipulate the masses like Charlie? Gavin Newsom has never met an angle he didn't like, and Charlie sure had a few. The difference between the mortgage fraud Scott Bessent and Bill Pulte's parents are accused of, and the mortgage fraud Lisa Cook and Letitia James are accused of, is that theirs is nonexistent.

Newly discovered bank and tax documents show that Trump and one of his inner circle Bill Pulte have been lying to a federal court that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook committed mortgage fraud by falsely claiming that she told her lender that 2 homes of hers were both “primary residences” in order to gain an economic and tax advantage. As Michael Popok reports based on Reuters expose, turns out that Cook told her lender in writing that her Atlanta property was a “vacation” or “second home” and she never declared the property as her “primary” for property tax purposes. On the other hand, Pulte's own parents committed tax fraud that has been investigated by Michigan state officials. Upgrade your sleep with Miracle Made!

Donald Trump and his Republican acolytes defy credulity with their bizarre denial that Trump's page in Jeffrey Epstein's birthday book is somehow a 22-year-old forgery, but as Jen Psaki points out, that isn't the only unbelievable story Trump is trying to push to escape a reality that makes him look really bad. In the latest edition of "Jen's Version," Jen Psaki addresses questions asked at the White House press briefing, including what Donald Trump meant by "if a man has a little fight with the wife they say this is crime," as he complained about the crime getting in the way of his claim that Washington D.C. doesn't have any more crime.Texas State Rep. James Talarico, fresh from declaring his candidacy to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate, talks with Jen Psaki about the role of "love thy neighbor" religion in his politics, and the fight he wants to help bring to bear against Donald Trump's Republicans. Senator Adam Schiff joins to talk about Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, and Wes Moore discusses his decision to run for reelection as Maryland's governor.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 11: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Jayvee Vance has got to resign as Vice President. Relax; he won't. But you cannot BE Vice President of the United States if you're crazy enough to boast about repurposing the military as a War Crime committing death squad killing probable migrants in international waters. Plus if you’re responding to tweets by the Krassensteins you’re clearly insane and unfit for office. Even under Trump.. MEANWHILE: if Trump was an FBI informant against Jeffrey Epstein that means he was a witness to everything Epstein did with those girls? And yes, Mike Johnson tried to "back off" his claim that Trump was an FBI Epstein agent late Sunday, but a) the "back off" came 72 hours after he blurted it out; b) it still implies that Trump knew about Epstein and went to the authorities about it, suggesting he had first-hand evidence like HE WAS THERE, and c) it is a cardinal tenet of QAnon that if Trump is ON the Epstein client list. "He did it for 'Merica!" might not be the flex Trump and Mike Johnson think it is ALSO: Trump was booed as he arrived at the U.S. Tennis Open yesterday. You didn’t see it because Bob Iger and ABC and Disney whored themselves out pre-censoring the truth. CBS just did that too - and worse, agreeing NOT to edit out any lies by Trump Gang members. THE PRIMARY RESIDENCE WITCH-HUNT? The mortgage app alleged white lie with which Trump hopes to bring down a Fed governor and Letitia James and Adam Schiff? The nut job releasing the alleged evidence is Bill Pulte and guess what public records show HIS OWN PARENTS DID? They ALSO CLAIMED multiple "primary residences" - and you can only have one. Oops. THERE IS SOME GOOD NEWS: per G. Elliott Morris: mainstream Trump polling is flat, unchanged. But the INTERIOR numbers? Since January Trump’s STRONG approval number - the diehards - has dropped from 34% to 24%. That's down a third. And his STRONG disapproval number - the haters - has grown from 36% to 46%. Also a third. That is unsustainable. B-Block (41:53) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: "Gunther Eagleman" and the other similarly stupidly named Right Wing influencers now alleged to be on yet ANOTHER country's payroll. Plus the man who killed CNN John Malone may have inadvertently outed a racist: himself. And And a CBS correspondent named Robert Costa let Trump pee on his leg about Russia and all he did was report: “CBS Exclusive: Trump Exclusively Peed On MY leg!” C-Block (55:20) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: They're going to use A.I. to try to reconstruct the infamous 43 missing minutes in the classic - possible greatest film of all time - "Magnificent Ambersons." I loathe the concept. I will watch the product as many times as they let me! But of more immediate relevance, if they ever release it, I'll be able to say I knew the star of a new 2025 film who died in 1994 and I met in 1985 only I didn't realize it was him. I swear I thought she said "Carlton." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
David Waldman catches us up on the multiple disasters since Friday. Greg Dworkin catches us up on the multiple disasters since Thursday. Boooo! Trump was booooooooed at the US Open. If they don't want to hear boos, they shouldn't invite Trump. Or Winsome Earle-Sears. Tiny hands, deep throat, Donald K. Trump was an FBI Snitch according to Mike Johnson, the last guy anyone would trust to keep a secret. The Miami Herald and New York Times seek to unseal records on Jeffrey Epstein's estate, while we all know that Jeffrey Epstein and everyone on the Epstein list has been brought to you by capitalism. Zohran Mamdanimentum continues as Americans are beginning to see capitalism about as badly as they do Trump. LG Energy specialists squeezed into 90+ day rotations to set up a Hyundai battery plant in Georgia were caught in violation of that “+” part, were belly-chained and hauled out of the country. The plant they were setting up won't be hiring Americans any time soon, thanks to Karen-Republican Mar-a-Lago wannabe Tori Branum. Don't expect to hear more from Branum but do expect a lot more plants to be shut down. The Department of War begins its Midway Blitz, which is not a war, it is simply a police action. Why do so many Republicans think Trump is more liberal than he is? If people die in Florida because of lack of vaccines, it will be a surprise to Florida Surgeon General Ladapo. RFK Jr. will have seen it all coming, as he always does a year or so later. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists will save lives in the future by ignoring the CDC today. Ironically, the owner of one of the most punchable faces in politics, Scott Bessent, keeps wanting to punch others in their faces. This time it was the quite punchable Bill Pulte and for the same reason as Scott picked ever punchable Elon Musk. Scott heard both were bad mouthing him to Donald. Scott almost took Bill out, back there on the cement slab they have over the White House septic tank. E. Jean Carroll won her judgement against Trump again.

President Trump on Monday evening fired Biden-appointed Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook amid mortgage fraud allegations. “Pursuant to my authority under Article II of the Constitution of the United States and the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, as amended, you are hereby removed from your position on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, effective immediately,” President Trump wrote in a letter to Lisa Cook. “I have determined that there is sufficient cause to remove you from your position,” Trump added as he cited housing regulator Bill Pulte's criminal referral on Lisa Cook for mortgage fraud – specifically occupancy fraud. Source: thegatewaypundit.com What Fed must do now after Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole epiphany Last Friday in Jackson Hole, Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell finally – and grudgingly – admitted what the Trump team has been saying all along: tariffs don't fuel inflation. At most, tariffs create a one-time adjustment in prices, not the kind of runaway spiral that demands punishing rate hikes. And even that one-time bump may be negligible if, as we have long argued, foreign exporters – not American consumers – shoulder most or all of the burden. The implication is clear: whether the impact is zero or merely a one-time step-up in prices, there is absolutely no justification for the Fed to hide behind "tariff uncertainty" as an excuse for overly restrictive interest-rate policy.

Trump is finding a handy enforcer in an unexpected place. Instead of focusing on the housing finance system, America's top housing regulator is honing in on Trump's political enemies. Bill Pulte is searching through property records looking for ways to accuse people (Senator Adam Schiff, NY AG Letitia James and Fed. Governor Lisa Cook) of mortgage fraud with the threat of a criminal investigation. How did Pulte's new job as the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and chair of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac end up morphing into this attack dog position? Presidential historian and political analyst John Rothmann is back! We'll ask him about this and more. Trump is stopping key wind turbine projects at a time when spending on renewable energy is on the rise. We turn to eco-journalist Belinda Waymouth for “ It's the Planet, Stupid!” to find out why.
El lunes pasado Donald Trump anunció la destitución de Lisa Cook, miembro de la Junta de Gobernadores de la Reserva Federal. El despido lo ha justificado alegando una acusación de fraude hipotecario presentada por Bill Pulte, director de la Agencia Federal de Financiación de la Vivienda. Pulte ha denunciado que Cook declaró dos residencias principales en 2021 para obtener mejores condiciones en una hipoteca, lo que constituye un delito federal. Cook negó las acusaciones, aseguró haber corregido las declaraciones y anunció que impugnará el despido en los tribunales. La decisión ha desatado un acalorado debate sobre la autonomía y la independencia de la Reserva Federal, ya que su estatuto fundacional, que data de 1913, solo permite destituir a un gobernador por ineficiencia, negligencia o malversación. Cook, nombrada por Biden en 2022 para un mandato de 14 años, sostiene que el despido carece de base legal. La Fed, por su parte, ya ha adelantado que acatará cualquier resolución judicial. La Junta de Gobernadores, equivalente al comité ejecutivo del BCE, supervisa los 12 bancos regionales de la Reserva Federal y es, junto al Comité Federal de Mercado Abierto, quien decide sobre los tipos de interés y la oferta monetaria. El cese de Cook se interpreta como un movimiento político de Trump para que Jerome Powell baje de una vez los tipos de interés y eso sirva de estímulo a la economía. No es este el primer caso en el que Trump fulmina al responsable de una agencia federal. A principios de mes destituyó a Erika McEntarfer, de la oficina de estadísticas laborales, por un informe de empleo un tanto decepcionante para los intereses del Gobierno. Las acusaciones contra Cook son además muy similares a otras que se han realizado contra opositores de Trump como Letitia James y Adam Schiff, lo que indica que se trata de una una estrategia bien estudiada para librarse de altos cargos incómodos. Cook piensa resistir y el mercado no termina de ver la maniobra de Trump para hacerse con el control de la Fed por las malas. Los analistas, eso sí, ya han advertido sobre los riesgos de inflación que entraña comprometer la independencia del banco central. Powell, cuya gestión Trump cuestiona públicamente, anunció recientemente en Wyoming un posible recorte de tipos dirigido a compensar un mercado laboral débil y los efectos de los aranceles y las políticas migratorias de Trump. El mercado espera una reducción de 0,25 puntos en septiembre, pero Trump quiere bajadas más agresivas, lo que podría reavivar la inflación, que en 2022 superó el 9%. Interferir en la Fed es arriesgado. Ejemplos como el de Argentina o el de Turquía, donde los bancos centrales controlados directamente por el gobierno dispararon la inflación, son advertencias claras. La cuestión es que la Fed no es una entidad totalmente pública ya que combina elementos públicos y privados. Su independencia es clave para dotar de estabilidad del dólar. Si Trump logra destituir a Cook sin un proceso judicial, podría sentar un precedente para, a partir de ahí, controlar la Junta y el Comité de Mercado Abierto. Pero realmente no lo necesita, le basta simplemente con ser paciente y esperar a que el mandato de Powell venza dentro de unos meses. Pero a Trump le puede la impaciencia. No tiene en cuenta que si dinamita la independencia de la Fed un próximo presidente demócrata heredaría un banco central con el que podría hacer lo que le viniese en gana.

Trump's full frontal assault on our nation's financial system by taking steps to fire Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve with flimsy allegations of “mortgage fraud” to gain majority control is in full display. We are on a fast track to the US Supreme Court to define whether unsubstantiated rumors of misconduct are enough to justify the required “for cause” firing of a Fed Reserve Governor who disagrees with Trump on monetary policy. Michael Popok outlines the next fast-track steps for Ms. Cook's counsel in Federal court, and exposes Bill Pulte's role behind the scenes in going after Democratic Black Leaders with scandalous allegations.

August 23, 2025; 8am: Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated the bank could cut interest rates in September, citing rising economic risks. Meanwhile, President Trump said he'd fire a member of the Fed's board, Lisa Cook, if she did not resign. Trump had called on Cook, the first black woman to serve on the board, to step down after federal housing regulator Bill Pulte accused her of committing mortgage fraud.For more, follow us on social media:Bluesky: @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.socialInstagram: @theweekendmsnbcTikTok: @theweekendmsnbcTo listen to this show and other MSNBC podcasts without ads, sign up for MSNBC Premium on Apple Podcasts.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin bring us the latest in news and opinion. By the way… Jeffrey Epstein! At least James Dobson is dead. Gavin C. Newsom (Gorgeous) has been hand selected (Some say RIGGED) by God to return AMERICA's democracy and Democracy to the “USA”. Of course, in 2028, Gavin's policy stands and personal aptitude for the presidency will be of utmost… Hello? You do remember 2015, right? As do the people behind the Gavin Newsom Press Office, Camile Zapata and Izzy Gardon. That's the long game. The short game sees the majority of Democrats backing California's counter-gerrymandering of Texas as a good thing. California's Supreme Court is stepping out of the way. So, what is Donald K. Trump really up to in Washington? Nothing, as usual, and no good, as usual. Who to better represent Trump than the three most hated stooges in American history, Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth and JD Vance? DC's criminals better watch out, the new gang means business.

Inflation expectations are now falling. People are starting to realize Trump's plan is working and the fake news and the Fed lie. The Fed will not allow the Trump team to tour the Fed, the Fed released a virtual tour. Trump and Bessent do not know wha the Fed does.

Economy New Rare-Earth Mine in Wyoming Challenges China's Dominance The first new U.S. rare-earth mine in 70 years broke ground this month in Wyoming. Ramaco Brook Mine, which contains 1.7 million tons of rare earth minerals, is a “groundbreaking discovery” that “marks a turning point for America,” the Department of Energy announced. According to a press release from Ramaco, the company that owns the mine, “[t]he Brook Mine project represents a strategic milestone in the nation's efforts to reduce foreign reliance on critical minerals essential to defense, technology, and clean energy.” Currently, China provides almost 90% of rare-earth minerals in the world.

Fed Declines Trump Official Request For On Site Visit to Tour Building Renovations, Releases ‘Virtual Site Visit' Fed Chair Jerome Powell pulled another shady stunt after Trump officials requested a tour of the so-called $2.5 billion in building ‘renovations.' On Friday Chairman of the Board of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Bill Pulte, revealed Jerome Powell offered a tour of the renovations on Friday night when no one was there. Trump officials were declined a request for an on site visit to tour the building renovations and instead were given a “virtual site visit.” “Instead of granting us our site visit, the Fed today released a “virtual site visit” video,” Trump White House official James Blair said. “What do they not want us to see?” https://twitter.com/JamesBlairUSA/status/1947420186329420006?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1947420186329420006%7Ctwgr%5Ee495d077f6efe35a49498e30734ae0a7839ce427%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F07%2Fwhat-are-they-hiding-fed-declines-trump-official%2F .
