On July 4, 2026, a groundbreaking opportunity opened for parents and guardians aiming to give their children a head start on their financial journey: Trump Accounts. Created as part of the OBBA Tax Act ("One Big Beautiful Bill" Tax Act) of 2025, these tax-advantaged investment vehicles provide a unique way to grow wealth for minors. In this episode, I break down what Trump Accounts are, who's eligible for generous bonuses, how to get started, and how they compare to other common savings options like 529 plans. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Understanding Trump accounts for children [04:22] What are the baby bonus qualifications? [09:04] Opening a Trump investment account [11:37] Comparing Trump accounts to 529 plans [16:07] Converting IRA for tax-free growth [17:15] Benefits of Trump accounts Unlocking the Potential of Trump Accounts Trump Accounts are designed for children under 18 who have a valid Social Security number. Funded with after-tax dollars, these accounts work similarly to retirement accounts, with investments inside the account compounding tax-deferred. That means any dividends, interest, or capital gains grow without being taxed until withdrawal—effectively turbocharging your child's investment returns. Once the child turns 18, the account automatically converts to an IRA in their name. Withdrawals are then subject to traditional IRA distribution rules: generally, penalty-free access begins at 59½, although exceptions exist, such as those for first-time homebuyers or qualified education expenses. Who's Eligible for Bonuses? One of the biggest draws of Trump Accounts is the potential for substantial bonus contributions. $1,000 Federal Bonus: Children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, automatically qualify for a $1,000 government deposit. This eligibility is irrespective of parental or child income, provided the child is a US citizen with a valid Social Security number. $250 Dell Foundation Grant: For children born before 2025 who are under 10 years old, the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation offers a $250 grant. Eligibility extends to those living in zip codes where the median household income falls below $150,000. Trump Accounts vs. 529 College Savings Plans Given the array of college savings vehicles available, how do Trump Accounts stack up to the well-established 529 plan? Here's a quick comparison: 529 Plans: Designed specifically for education expenses, 529 plans offer tax-deferred growth and tax-free withdrawals for qualified expenses. They also allow conversion of up to $35,000 to a Roth IRA under certain conditions if the funds are unused for education costs. Trump Accounts: More flexible since, after age 18, the funds move to an IRA in the beneficiary's name. While distributions for education from a Trump Account IRA are taxed as ordinary income (with penalties waived for qualifying expenses), the account's chief power is in supercharging long-term retirement savings for the child. Should You Open a Trump Account? If your child or grandchild qualifies for the $1,000 or $250 bonuses, opening an account is almost a no-brainer. For others, the decision will come down to your savings goals. Trump Accounts offer unmatched momentum for retirement savings, while 529s are still preferred for pure college saving. The earlier you start, the greater the rewards of compounding.

Get 30 Days of Merlin free at MerlinCrypto.Com Welcome to another episode of the Age of Jeremy! In the first half of today's show, we dive into the newly launched "Trump Accounts," which are custodial individual retirement accounts for kids that feature a $1,000 government seed contribution for eligible children. We break down the logistics of setting up these accounts via IRS Form 4547 and their automatic investment in an S&P 500 ETF. While this seed money is a great perk, we also discuss the complex tax implications, why traditional 529 plans or standard brokerage accounts might be better for personal contributions, and the massive risk that kids can legally empty the account and use the cash for anything on January 1st of the year they turn 18. In the second half, we transition into a masterclass on leadership and management, rooted in the timeless wisdom of Peter Drucker. With recent reports showing that over 840,000 deaths annually are linked to psychosocial risks at work like job insecurity and toxic environments, effective management is a critical responsibility. We explore Drucker's core principles, starting with the need to manage oneself through "feedback analysis" to discover true strengths and eliminate intellectual arrogance. We also discuss how to implement Management by Objectives (MBO) to increase employee involvement and organizational performance, and how leaders can free up their schedules by utilizing "systematic abandonment" to ruthlessly cut practices that no longer serve their organization.

Gad Saad is back and this conversation went everywhere. He is an evolutionary behavioral scientist, bestselling author of The Parasitic Mind, and his new book is called Suicidal Empathy. We get into what suicidal empathy actually means and why he compares it to a hairworm that drives a cricket to drown itself, why open border policies are the most damaging real world example of it, the British grooming gang scandal and the specific identity of the men involved that nobody wanted to name, why social scientists abandoned biology entirely out of fear it could be misused, the blank slate excuse used for repeat felons and why it removes all personal accountability, why Gad had to go through a brutal visa process to legally enter the United States despite his prominence, why the most common email he receives ends with please don't use my name, the moment Drew Brees apologized for loving his own country, and why Gad says Lionel Messi, the most famous athlete on the planet, refuses to ever take a position on anything.

After appearing on Darren's Lawyer Millionaire podcast, Tyson knew this conversation needed to get in front of Maximum Lawyer listeners, especially the owners wrestling with labor costs as their biggest expense. He shares the stories, numbers, and mindset shifts that moved his firm from emotional, one‑off raises and complex bonus schemes to a simpler, more intentional compensation strategy that serves both people and profit.You will learn:How Tyson handled an 80% raise demand during COVID.Why automatic annual raises can backfire.How he replaced complex bonuses with higher salaries.How KPIs and job scorecards drive who earns more.How “non‑billable” roles are still tied to profit.The labor % Tyson targets to avoid bloat.Why he avoids full salary transparency in the firm.How AI is reshaping roles and headcount decisions.How an AI‑driven case management system boosted profit and morale.Tyson breaks down how his firm now uses job scorecards with a simple funnel of questions, starting with the purpose of the role, the top competencies, the key outcomes, and finally the numbers that prove success, to set clear KPIs for every seat. He explains why he prefers a lean team of A‑players, why labor savings from AI often get reinvested into higher salaries for remaining team members, and how he wrestles with the tension between not wanting to “replace people with AI” and making the right call for the business. He and Darren also get candid about raise requests that end in resignations, employees comparing salaries, and why your firm culture and compensation philosophy have to be aligned if you want to avoid long‑term resentment.If you are a law firm owner who wants to pay your people fairly, protect your margins, and make smart decisions about AI and staffing, Tyson's approach will help you move from guessing and reacting to using simple frameworks and numbers to drive compensation.Highlights0:23 – Tyson's background, PI firm, and “profit on purpose” theme for the year3:40 – The first raise request from an early employee and what he learned from it6:20 – The COVID‑era 80% raise demand and why he refused it12:10 – Scrapping a complex bonus system and moving to higher base salaries16:45 – Using job scorecards and KPIs to decide who actually earns more21:05 – Rethinking “billable vs. non‑billable” and tying every role to profit24:30 – Targeting ~38% labor costs and avoiding overstaffed, low‑profit firms29:15 – Why Tyson doesn't share everyone's salaries internally and the resentment risk34:20 – How AI is shrinking parts of multiple roles and the hard calls that follow47:10 – Increasing salaries when headcount drops and keeping A‑players happy52:30 – Why fewer KPIs are better and how to pick the ones that matter56:40 – What Tyson is reading now and how it shapes his leadership lensIf this episode helps you think differently about pay, raises, and AI in your firm, hit subscribe for more practical conversations on building a profitable, people‑first law practice, and share it with another lawyer who is tired of guessing on compensation.

In this episode, I'm sharing how to create bonuses that genuinely increase conversions instead of just adding random extras to your offer. I explain why bonuses work so well—from reducing risk and increasing perceived value to helping buyers feel more confident in their decision—and the biggest mistake people make when stacking bonuses that don't actually support customer success. I also break down five types of effective bonuses, including templates, communities, complimentary training, checklists, AI prompts, and confidence boosters, plus how to choose the right number of bonuses based on your offer. Most importantly, I explain why the best bonuses help customers get results faster rather than simply making the offer look bigger. 3 Key Takeaways: Bonuses Should Support Results, Not Just Add Value The best bonuses remove obstacles, simplify implementation, and help customers succeed faster instead of simply making the offer look bigger. Strategic Bonuses Increase Buyer Confidence Bonuses work because they reduce risk, increase perceived value, and help buyers feel more certain that your offer will help them achieve the outcome they want. Quality Always Beats Quantity Adding too many random bonuses can overwhelm buyers and dilute your main offer. Thoughtful, relevant bonuses are far more effective than endless extras.

Monday June 1, 2026 Uber to Pay Contingency Fee Bonuses to Executives to Get Rid of Contingency Fee System
Transfer bonuses can sound like a no-brainer — a 40%, 55%, even 70% bonus on your points just for moving them to an airline or hotel program. But here's the truth: a big bonus percentage is not the same thing as a good deal. In this episode, Megan breaks down exactly how transfer bonuses work, why banks and hotel programs offer them in the first place, and the simple math framework she uses to decide whether to jump on one or pass.We're walking through how to calculate the real value of any transfer bonus, which programs are almost never worth transferring to (even with a bonus), and the scenarios where a transfer bonus can genuinely stretch your points further. If you've ever felt pressure to act fast on a limited-time offer and weren't sure if it was worth it, this episode gives you a repeatable system to make that call confidently every time.Resources:
Episode 231 of the Channel 23 podcast covers life at JFW with hosts Jim White, Super Dave Weldon, JR Saenz and Jam Bacchus: a short trucker prayer, light-hearted jokes, company updates and new hires. The discussion focuses on safety — monthly safety bonuses, PPE expectations, the new mud‑flap program, and a major dumping error where chips were dumped into salt — plus the operational headaches of Yard 23 construction. The show also addresses a pending mediation from a highway collision, mental health awareness, practical tips (don't jump to conclusions, call for help at the scales), and the driver referral program.
Compensation is one of the hardest operational systems to get right in a med spa. If the structure feels unclear or unfair, it quickly creates tension between providers, leadership, and the overall goals of the business. In this episode, I break down how to design compensation in a way that supports profitability, collaboration, and long-term practice growth—not just short-term production. The goal isn't simply to pay providers more. It's to build systems that reward the right behaviors while keeping the business financially healthy. Why Most Compensation Problems Start with the Wrong Incentives One of the biggest mistakes I see is compensation structures that reward activity without measuring whether that activity is actually helping the practice grow profitably. Straight salary models often reduce motivation, while poorly structured commission systems can create competition, entitlement, and resentment between providers. Even hourly pay can become problematic if the only focus is keeping schedules full. A provider being "busy" does not necessarily mean the business is healthy. Revenue per hour, utilization rates, treatment mix, rebooking behavior, and profitability matter much more than simply filling appointment slots. The practices that perform best financially are usually measuring the quality of production—not just the quantity of appointments. The Compensation Framework I Recommend Most Often The most sustainable compensation systems usually combine several layers instead of relying on a single model. • Hourly base pay creates stability and predictable income • Revenue-sharing structures reward measurable growth above baseline performance • Tiered commission thresholds incentivize stronger production and utilization • Team-based commission structures encourage collaboration instead of competition • Department KPIs help align providers around operational goals • Scorecard bonuses create accountability around both financial and behavioral performance The key is making expectations measurable, transparent, and tied directly to the outcomes the practice is trying to create. Why Compensation Needs to Be Supported by Clear Operational Data Compensation conversations become much easier when they're grounded in objective reporting instead of emotion or perception. Monthly scorecards, shared KPIs, and regular performance reviews help providers understand exactly how compensation decisions are being made. Metrics like utilization, revenue per hour, rebooking rates, and departmental performance create a much clearer picture of what's contributing to practice growth—and what isn't. That level of transparency also helps reduce HR conflict because expectations become consistent, visible, and easier to communicate across the team. As You Expand, Compensation Becomes Part of Your Infrastructure The larger your practice becomes, the more important compensation design becomes operationally. Weak systems create friction, inconsistent performance, and retention problems. Strong systems create alignment, accountability, and a healthier team culture over time. The med spas that scale successfully are usually the ones where compensation reinforces the business model instead of constantly working against it. When providers understand how their performance impacts practice growth—and feel rewarded fairly for contributing to it—you create a much stronger foundation for sustainable expansion.

The Department of Health and Human Services is shrinking cash awards for its top performers. In its place, the department is shifting a majority of its bonus budget to cover “special act” awards with eligibility criteria that are less well-defined.

Financial Coaches Network - The Podcast: Build your Financial Coaching Business
In this episode, Joshua Escalante Troesh CFP® and Amelie Riendl AFC® break down each section of a paycheck—what the numbers mean, why they matter, and how understanding them can help you avoid surprises and make smarter financial decisions. They explore required and optional deductions, tax withholdings, employer‑provided benefits, PTO tracking, and common paycheck misconceptions. The conversation empowers listeners to confidently read their pay stubs, spot errors, and use HR and financial professionals as resources. Top takeaways: Why it matters: Understanding your paycheck helps you anticipate taxes, bonuses, and benefits—and avoid surprises. Required deductions: Federal and state tax withholding, Social Security, Medicare, unemployment insurance (UI), and disability insurance (DI) all appear on your pay stub, often under confusing acronyms. Bonuses aren't taxed more: They feel heavily taxed because withholding formulas differ, not the tax rate itself. Your W‑4 is powerful: Adjusting it can prevent big tax bills or oversized refunds; many never revisit it after being hired. You pay for Unemployment Insurance (UI) and Disability Insurance (DI): These aren't “government handouts”—the insurance premiums are deducted from your paycheck. Using them when you need them is no different than filing a claim with your car insurance after an accident. Optional deductions: 401(k) contributions, employer stock plans, life and disability insurance, and other benefits may impact taxable income. PTO tracking matters: Vacation and sick time accruals are often miscalculated—monitoring them protects benefits you've earned. Paycheck fluctuations: Changes often come from hitting the Social Security cap, maxing out 401(k) contributions, benefit changes, PTO payout, or reimbursement timing. Red flags: Hours worked not matching the pay stub, PTO not accruing correctly, or unexplained swings in deductions. HR/Payroll is your ally: Most issues are simple system errors, and HR teams want to help employees understand their benefits and deductions (they may even be excited to share it with you).

Grab your free seat to the 2-Day AI Mastermind: https://link.outskill.com/PETERSCHIFFAP4Kevin Warsh was confirmed as the new Fed Chair and immediately inherited a stagflation crisis: April PPI came in at 1.4% month-over-month — double the high end of estimates — pushing producer prices to 6% year-over-year. Core PPI tripled expectations at 1.0%, an annualized 12.5% rate. The CPI the day before showed 0.6% monthly with year-over-year inflation climbing to 3.8%. The 30-year Treasury yield broke above 5% for the first time in 19 years, with a bond auction requiring a 5% coupon — but unlike 2007 when the debt was $9 trillion, today it's $39 trillion.Peter Schiff argues real interest rates are crashing even as nominal rates rise, making the environment extremely bullish for gold and silver — with silver hitting $89 intraday and leading gold for the first time this cycle. He highlights CNBC analysts recommending viewers sell gold stocks as a perfect contrarian buy signal, dismantles Trump's proposed ban on corporations buying homes as socialist policy, defends Jeff Bezos against critics who blame him rather than consumers for disrupting small businesses, endorses Thomas Massie's congressional primary fight, and promotes his new 10-minute FOIA evidence video exposing the IRS conspiracy to destroy Euro Pacific Bank.Chapters:00:00 Cold Open Montage00:55 Show Begins Tech Issues01:27 New Fed Chair Firestorm03:26 CPI Breakdown April05:24 PPI Shock And Stagflation07:59 Trump Inflation And Politics09:43 Bond Yields Debt Trap13:20 Fed QE Dilemma15:39 Ad Break NetSuite AI17:01 Markets Misread Inflation18:38 Real Rates Gold Silver23:12 Metals Boom Copper Oil24:51 Tariffs Beef And Constitution29:09 Ad Break Outskill AI31:42 Stocks Ignore Inflation Bubble32:18 Bubble Mentality Critique33:10 CNBC Chart Pattern Trap34:30 Gold Stocks Contrarian Buy35:38 Mining Stocks vs AI Hype36:15 Trump Housing Ban Backlash37:46 Why Rentals Need Investors39:19 Backing Thomas Massie42:25 Trump Grip on GOP43:08 Trump China Summit Skepticism45:05 Defending Bezos and Amazon46:20 Consumers Drive Competition49:07 Living Wage Reality Check53:35 Rigged Playing Field Factors55:31 Puerto Rico Inventory Tax57:36 FOIA Bank Conspiracy Video59:05 Demanding Government Accountability01:00:35 Wrap Up and Next PlansFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/booksSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/news#PeterSchiffShow #Inflation #GoldInvestingOur Sponsors:* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Plaud AI and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://plaud.ai* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Agency Recruiting Builds Skills That In-House Roles Don't Teach Sixteen years on the agency side gave Oli a closer's mentality, a sense of urgency, and an intolerance for avoidable fallout that she carried directly into Udemy. The best in-house recruiters often came from agency backgrounds — and companies that understand that have a sourcing advantage. 2. A 50% Inbound Hire Rate Is a Brand Achievement, Not an Accident Udemy's ability to fill half its roles from inbound applicants is a direct result of employer brand investment. Candidates who apply are already bought in — which means recruiters can spend more energy on screening quality than generating awareness. Inbound is not passive; it's the payoff of deliberate brand-building over time. 3. Skills-Based Hiring Requires Persona-Building, Not Just JD-Writing Udemy's approach goes deeper than listing skills in a job description. They build candidate personas modeled on current top performers — identifying what skills, behaviors, and experiences have actually driven success at the company — and use those personas to train recruiters on what to look for when scanning resumes and running screens. 4. Realignment Is a Sign of a Healthy Recruiting Process, Not a Failure Roles evolve mid-search. What a hiring manager thought they wanted in week one is often different from what they realize they need by week four. Oli's team treats realignment as a normal part of the process — using recruiting managers, people partners, and fresh perspectives to have the calibration conversation before more time is wasted. 5. Referral Bonuses Don't Improve Referral Quality — Culture Does Udemy's research-backed decision to eliminate referral bonuses is one of the most counterintuitive moves in this episode. The finding: happy employees who believe in where they work will refer good people because they want to work with them — not because there's a check waiting. Bonuses attract volume. Culture attracts quality. 6. Referrals Get Prioritized — But Not Protected Even without a bonus, referred candidates at Udemy receive a guaranteed recruiter conversation. But they still go through the same interview process as everyone else. No preferential treatment, no shortcuts. When a senior leader's referral doesn't make it, Oli holds the line — respectfully but firmly. 7. The Career Evolution Exercise Is the Best Antidote to AI Anxiety Oli's team exercise is immediately replicable: ask your recruiters to list what they did at the beginning of their career that they no longer do, then what they do today that didn't exist before. It makes the evolution of the profession visible — and reframes AI as the next chapter of a story that's been changing all along. 8. Turn Job Descriptions Into Job Ads With AI Oli's personal AI workflow is one of the most practical in the series: take a job description, prompt AI to rewrite it as a compelling job advertisement, refine for candidate appeal, then reverse-engineer: where do these people work, and how do I find them? It's a complete sourcing strategy built from a single starting point. 9. FIFO Is the Only Real AI Learning Strategy F around and find out. Oli's philosophy for AI adoption — at the individual and team level — is that the only way to understand what these tools can actually do for your process is to use them, break them, and learn from what happens. Udemy's monthly U Days give the team structured time to experiment in a low-stakes sandbox. 10. For Job Seekers: Network Hard, Stay Persistent, and Use AI to Find the Adjacent Role Oli's advice to candidates in a tough market: your network is your most underused asset — lean on it. Don't let one rejection stop you from applying elsewhere; timing and fit are company- specific, not a verdict on your value. And use AI to map your skills to adjacent industries and roles you might not have considered — your next opportunity might not look exactly like your last one. CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Introduction & Meet Oli Adam welcomes Alessandra "Oli" Pegnim, Head of TA and Employer Brand at Udemy, and hears how she got into recruiting through 16 years on the agency side. 02:30 – The Agency Advantage: What In-House Teams Miss What 16 years of agency recruiting gives you: always be closing, speed, urgency, and the discipline of never letting a placement fall through. 05:00 – Inbound vs. Outbound: Udemy's 50% Hit Rate How Udemy manages a 50% inbound hire rate — filtering fraud while treating genuine candidate intent as the signal it is. 07:30 – Tools for Filtering Fraud at the Top of the Funnel How Greenhouse's AI functionality, combined with human oversight and skills-trained recruiters, separates real candidates from noise at volume. 10:00 – Skills-Based Hiring: From Theory to Practice How Udemy builds skills into job descriptions, creates candidate personas modeled on top performers, and trains recruiters to assess underlying competencies. 13:00 – Aligning Recruiters and Hiring Managers Where most searches break down — and how Udemy uses recruiting managers, people partners, and fresh-perspective interventions to keep searches on track. 16:00 – Outbound Sourcing: Tools and Approach LinkedIn Recruiter as the primary outbound tool, the role of referrals and internal mobility, and how Udemy navigates global regulations when sourcing externally. 18:30 – Why Udemy Killed the Referral Bonus Udemy removed referral bonuses after research showed they didn't improve quality — and that happy employees refer good people whether or not they're paid to. 22:00 – Holding the Line When Referrals Don't Make It The tough conversation: when a senior leader's referred candidate doesn't pass the interview, and how Oli handles it with honesty and fairness. 24:30 – Are Recruiters Scared of AI? Real Talk. Oli's candid take on AI anxiety inside her team — and the reframe she used to shift the conversation from fear to curiosity. 26:30 – The Career Evolution Exercise That Calms AI Anxiety Ask recruiters to name things they did at the start of their career they no longer do — and things they do now that didn't exist before. The answer reframes everything. 29:00 – How Oli Uses AI to Write Better Job Ads A practical AI workflow: take a JD, turn it into a compelling ad, refine for appeal, then reverse-engineer sourcing strategy from the output. 32:00 – FIFO: F Around and Find Out Oli's philosophy for AI adoption. Udemy's monthly U Days give the team a sandbox to experiment safely — because the only way to learn AI is to use it. 35:00 – Golden Advice for Job Seekers Lean on your network, don't let one rejection stop you, and use AI to identify adjacent roles and industries your skills can transfer into.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: I'm approaching 15 years of experience with the last 7 years at fang. About a year ago I was promoted to staff engineer (thanks to the podcast) and switched to an adjacent team under the same director. I have never actively pursued a management role but I've been starting to think about it more. A colleague of mine just announced they need to take extended medical leave (1-2 months) and I was asked to fill in as a temporary manager while they are out. How do I go about managing a team if everyone knows it's short lived? Should I just try to keep the team alive or aim higher? Is 1-2 months enough for me to get a sense of whether I'd enjoy management? I feel like I've dived into the deep end and it's scary but also exciting. I love the podcast, I've listened to every episode! I'll take whatever comedy or advice you have to offer. Bobby Drop Tables asks, Recently came out of a salary negotiation where HR blocked a payrise because they said I was already the highest paid non-management position dev. While I'm getting paid well for the market, I wouldn't say it's a ridiculous amount. HR said they wanted a fairly flat salary range across the organisation, with pay differences being dealt with via performance bonuses. On paper this sounds good for most departments (sales, engineering etc), but I'm really struggling to figure out what metrics management could use to assess the software team. It feels like any metric that could be dreamt up could/would be gamed and would likely have negative consequences. Have you ever come across any decent metrics or methods for assessing software performance when it comes to performance bonuses? Especially when the team lead might not have a say in who gets what or how much?

Grab your free seat to the 2-Day AI Mastermind: https://link.outskill.com/PETERSCHIFFAP4Donald Trump's Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh spent two hours dodging every meaningful question in his Senate confirmation hearing, and Peter Schiff watched the whole thing so you didn't have to. Warsh refused to say whether Trump lost the 2020 election, wouldn't name a single Trump policy he disagreed with, and couldn't answer the obvious question of what 1% interest rates would do to consumer prices — even though he'd already admitted inflation comes from government spending and money printing.Before breaking down the hearing, Schiff delivers a history of the Federal Reserve that most economics PhDs have never learned: why the Fed was created as a private bank to issue superior banknotes backed by 40% gold, how the original act prohibited the Fed from owning treasuries, and how World War I opened the door to everything wrong with monetary policy today. He also takes aim at MicroStrategy's Strategy preferred stock as a textbook Ponzi scheme — Saylor can only pay the 11.5% yield by selling new shares, and the fine print lets him stop paying whenever he wants.Chapters:00:00 Cold Open and Intro00:57 Warsh Nomination Stakes02:34 InvestingPro Sponsor Demo07:32 Why Fed History Matters08:08 Before the Fed Era11:12 Fed Independence and Constitution14:00 Superior Banknotes Explained17:40 Outskill Sponsor Break21:47 Elastic Money Supply Myth25:49 War Finance and Treasuries32:16 Hearing Reactions Begin33:05 Trump Spending And Inflation34:02 Warren Attacks And Rate Cuts35:17 Warsh Denies Being Puppet36:34 Fed Praise And Wealth38:16 Price Stability Redefined41:15 Dodging Trump Questions43:45 One Percent Rates And QE46:06 Inflation Tax And Deficits47:00 Fed Chair And The Dollar49:54 No CBDC Crypto Pandering50:46 MicroStrategy Ponzi Rant54:20 Lawyer Evasions And Politics57:34 Warsh Verdict And Gold Pitch01:02:11 Final Wrap And SignoffFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/booksSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/news#PeterSchiffShow #FedChair #KevinWarshOur Sponsors:* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out GhostBed: https://ghostbed.com/PETER* Check out Grammarly: https://grammarly.com* Check out Quince: https://quince.com/GOLD* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
