This week, the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee meets to decide whether to adjust interest rates or keep them steady. What should we expect amid today's economic and political uncertainty? On this episode of The Pie, Randy Kroszner, former Federal Reserve Governor and Norman R. Bobins Professor of Economics at the Booth School of Business, discusses the factors influencing the Fed's decision.
Well, we have a new US Presidential Administration with a very different economic strategy than its predecessor. The president has already started vocally demanding the Federal Reserve be more aggressive in lowering interest rates. And he's appointed a new head, Scott Bessent, at the US Treasury, replacing Janet Yellen. What should we expect from the policies this Administration intends to pursue? Will Jerome Powell march to the President's demands? Or will he flex to assert the Fed's independence? And where does inflation figure into all of this? For a true expert's informed perspective on these very important questions, we have the great privilege today of speaking with Dr Thomas Hoenig, former CEO of the Kansas City Fed, former voting member of the Federal Open Market Committee, a former director of the FDIC, and now a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Mercatus Center.

Last week in his much-anticipated speech at Jackson Hole, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell announced the "time has come for policy to adjust". World markets now have a 100% probability expectation that the Federal Funds Rate will be cut at the upcoming September meeting. In the words of Nick Timiraos, chief economist for the Wall Street Journal and suspected media mouthpiece for the Federal Reserve, "The Powell pivot is complete". Is that indeed the case? And if so, what should we expect from here from the speed and depth of rate cuts? What will the expected impacts be on the economy? And which ones will be felt soon, and which perhaps not for quarters from now? And lastly, is this the correct policy move the Fed should be pursuing?

A courtroom surprise for Donald Trump! He thought he and his legal team would get to strike out as many jurors as they wanted in his criminal hush money trial. When he found out he could only remove 10 people from jury consideration, he went off! In his rant, Trump said he deserves unlimited strikes because he's been given the second worst venue in the country. Today, jury selection continues with another 96 people headed to the courthouse for jury duty. Former Federal Prosecutor David Katz will be in to discuss the proceedings and why being charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records doesn't warrant a defendant having unlimited jury strikes, no matter how much they think they deserve it. House Speaker Mike Johnson is in a bit of a pickle. He needs help from Democrats but the optics of getting that help could make him look weak within the Republican party. Seems like the recent trip to Mar-a-Lago wasn't as magical as he'd hoped.

This episode was recorded on June 3, 2022In this episode, Brad Mills interviews author and former Federal Reserve market specialist, Joseph Wang. Known for his work "Central Banking 101," Joseph offers a treasure trove of insights from his tenure at the Fed, drawing on his experiences navigating the financial landscape post the 2008 crisis.Brad and Joseph have an in-depth discussion on the world of the repo market, its challenges in 2019 when rates unexpectedly eclipsed the Federal Reserve's interest on reserves, and the implications for liquidity and bank stability. The episode delves into critical issues like the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and the balance between capital and liquidity in safeguarding against bank insolvencies.Brad probes the possibility of the Federal Reserve's repo market interventions being akin to unapproved bailouts — a notion Joseph addresses by shedding light on the quality of collateral involved in these short-term lending agreements. The dialogue also ventures into the accounting aspects of bond maturities, the purchasing power of the US Treasury's looming debt, and the Federal Reserve's potential role in debt acquisition.Their exchange extends to Bitcoin's immunity to governmental control, contrasting its decentralized nature with other cryptocurrencies and what that means in an increasingly regulated environment.

In the captivating world of true crime and courtroom drama, the Alex Murdaugh case has unfolded like a gripping legal thriller, leaving the public and legal experts bewildered. The latest development in this saga involves Becky Hill, the clerk of court during Murdaugh's trial, who is now embroiled in allegations of jury tampering and wiretapping, committed by her son within the courthouse. The situation has escalated with charges of public corruption against Hill, raising serious questions about the integrity of the trial and her credibility. Tony Brueski, host of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, recently sat down with Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor and head of the West Coast Trial Lawyers Association, to dissect these startling revelations. Rahmani, with his extensive legal background, expressed his concern about the potential implications of these developments on the Murdaugh case. "This is a prosecutor's nightmare," Rahmani remarked, highlighting the gravity of the situation where third-party impropriety could necessitate a retrial. The situation bears similarities to the Scott Peterson case, where a juror's alleged desire for fame and profit led to significant legal complications. The conversation also delved into the nuances of government ethics, a field Rahmani is intimately familiar with from his time overseeing the enforcement division of the ethics commission in Los Angeles. "You can't profit from your government position," Rahmani stressed, summarizing the crux of the allegations against Hill. The charges suggest she used her role for personal gain, including financial benefits and possibly influencing the trial's outcome to enhance her book sales. The duo discussed the potential consequences Hill might face if the allegations prove true. "At the very least, we're probably talking about losing a job," Brueski speculated, pondering the least severe outcome. However, Rahmani highlighted the more severe possibility of criminal charges, especially if Hill pleads the fifth during the evidentiary hearing, which could significantly impact the Murdaugh trial. Rahmani offered insights into the defense strategy, praising their post-trial efforts in uncovering the alleged misconduct. The defense's challenge will be to demonstrate that Hill's actions unduly influenced the trial's outcome. "None of the defense's allegations are true," Rahmani said, outlining one prong of the strategy. The second would argue that even if the allegations were true, they did not prejudice the trial's outcome. As the conversation progressed, Brueski and Rahmani contemplated the timeline and impact of a potential new trial. Rahmani predicted a late 2024 trial, asserting that despite the hurdles, the state still has a strong case against Murdaugh. He opined that Murdaugh's prior testimony and the compelling evidence against him would likely lead to a conviction in a retrial. The podcast ended with Rahmani reflecting on the larger implications of the case. "Even though the jurors will decide the case solely on the facts and evidence in the new trial, they're ordinary people," he said, acknowledging the challenge of finding an impartial jury. "Everyone's going to know who Alex Murdaugh is, and the fact that he's already been found guilty once." As the public and legal community continue to follow the Murdaugh case, questions linger about the fairness of the trial process and the integrity of those involved. Will the new allegations against Becky Hill and her son lead to a retrial for Alex Murdaugh? And if so, what twists and turns can we expect in this already convoluted legal tale? Only time will tell.

He opined that Murdaugh's prior testimony and the compelling evidence against him would likely lead to a conviction in a retrial. The podcast ended with Rahmani reflecting on the larger implications of the case. "Even though the jurors will decide the case solely on the facts and evidence in the new trial, they're ordinary people," he said, acknowledging the challenge of finding an impartial jury. "Everyone's going to know who Alex Murdaugh is, and the fact that he's already been found guilty once." As the public and legal community continue to follow the Murdaugh case, questions linger about the fairness of the trial process and the integrity of those involved. Will the new allegations against Becky Hill and her son lead to a retrial for Alex Murdaugh? And if so, what twists and turns can we expect in this already convoluted legal tale? Only time will tell.

In the captivating world of true crime and courtroom drama, the Alex Murdaugh case has unfolded like a gripping legal thriller, leaving the public and legal experts bewildered. The latest development in this saga involves Becky Hill, the clerk of court during Murdaugh's trial, who is now embroiled in allegations of jury tampering and wiretapping, committed by her son within the courthouse. The situation has escalated with charges of public corruption against Hill, raising serious questions about the integrity of the trial and her credibility. Tony Brueski, host of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, recently sat down with Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor and head of the West Coast Trial Lawyers Association, to dissect these startling revelations. Rahmani, with his extensive legal background, expressed his concern about the potential implications of these developments on the Murdaugh case. "This is a prosecutor's nightmare," Rahmani remarked, highlighting the gravity of the situation where third-party impropriety could necessitate a retrial. The situation bears similarities to the Scott Peterson case, where a juror's alleged desire for fame and profit led to significant legal complications. The conversation also delved into the nuances of government ethics, a field Rahmani is intimately familiar with from his time overseeing the enforcement division of the ethics commission in Los Angeles. "You can't profit from your government position," Rahmani stressed, summarizing the crux of the allegations against Hill. The charges suggest she used her role for personal gain, including financial benefits and possibly influencing the trial's outcome to enhance her book sales. The duo discussed the potential consequences Hill might face if the allegations prove true. "At the very least, we're probably talking about losing a job," Brueski speculated, pondering the least severe outcome. However, Rahmani highlighted the more severe possibility of criminal charges, especially if Hill pleads the fifth during the evidentiary hearing, which could significantly impact the Murdaugh trial. Rahmani offered insights into the defense strategy, praising their post-trial efforts in uncovering the alleged misconduct. The defense's challenge will be to demonstrate that Hill's actions unduly influenced the trial's outcome. "None of the defense's allegations are true," Rahmani said, outlining one prong of the strategy. The second would argue that even if the allegations were true, they did not prejudice the trial's outcome. As the conversation progressed, Brueski and Rahmani contemplated the timeline and impact of a potential new trial. Rahmani predicted a late 2024 trial, asserting that despite the hurdles, the state still has a strong case against Murdaugh. He opined that Murdaugh's prior testimony and the compelling evidence against him would likely lead to a conviction in a retrial.

The possibility of a fresh trial for Alex Murdaugh, stemming from allegations of jury tampering, is rapidly unfolding. The situation, as elucidated in the "Hidden Killers" podcast featuring Tony Brueski and former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani, is gathering increased scrutiny and speculation. After his conviction, the Murdaugh defense appealed, which removed the trial court's jurisdiction. The drama heightened when accusations about a court clerk, Ms. Hill, allegedly tampering with the jury were brought into the spotlight. Rahmani explained, "What really needs to happen is an evidentiary hearing... the judge is gonna talk to the juror who was dismissed, the clerk, and get information." Given the structure of the appellate court, which doesn't allow witness testimonies or in-depth inquiries into parties, the South Carolina appellate court made a pivotal move. "They've essentially sent the case down to the trial court... to conduct a hearing on the motion for a new trial," Rahmani added. The crux of the matter pivots around the conflicting affidavits. The burning question is: Was there a grave felony jury tampering incident, or are there individuals misleading the court? The coming hearings promise to be electrifying, with observers keenly watching whether the implicated clerk will plead the fifth, which would mean invoking her right against self-incrimination. Referring to similar events during the Scott Peterson trial, Rahmani highlighted the possibility of the court granting the clerk immunity, which might upend the entire prosecution's stance. The core argument hinges on the alleged ex-parte communications from the clerk, instructing jurors to disregard Alex Murdaugh's statements. Brueski emphasized, "If this sort of thing took place in court... you would have to go down that road [of a new trial] as well." The looming specter of a new trial beckons further examination. Might the defense introduce fresh angles and perspectives, or will the courtroom be privy to a déjà vu experience? Rahmani voiced skepticism about the possibility of a wholly new defense strategy for Murdaugh, considering he's already testified and "locked himself in" during the first trial. Interestingly, Rahmani pointed to the prosecutorial strategy, which might use Murdaugh's admitted financial crimes as a motive for the alleged murders. "Now that the financial crimes have been proven... I think it'll be a much faster trial," he stated. Brueski posed another significant query: Would the admission of these financial crimes into a new trial, now that Murdaugh has confessed, change the trajectory of the proceedings? Rahmani believes the financial crimes' entry into a new trial would be streamlined, with less focus on external testimonies and financial documents. But he was firm in his assessment of the evidence's potential impact. "If the jurors don't like him, and they did not like him because of all these financial crimes, he doesn't have a chance," Rahmani stated. When asked about repainting Alex Murdaugh's image in anticipation of a potential new trial, Rahmani's advice was forthright: "You got to own it." Accepting Murdaugh's transgressions while drawing a distinction between his financial indiscretions and the gravity of murder might be the defense's most formidable argument. As the legal gears shift and twist, the question remains: Can the true essence of justice be distilled amidst the tumult of allegations, admissions, and public opinion?

The case surrounding Bryan Kohberger's alleged involvement in the Idaho quadruple homicide continues to captivate the nation. In a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers" hosted by Tony Brueski, attorney and former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani shared some insights into the intricacies of Kohberger's defense and the larger strategies at play. Rahmani started the discussion, highlighting the alibi defense proposed by Kohberger's lawyer, Anne C. Taylor. "I like to go driving at night,” Kohberger claimed. This statement raised eyebrows, with both the podcast host and Rahmani expressing skepticism over its merit. While Taylor's record in handling complex cases remains commendable, some of the defense's statements and alibis have been deemed "borderline crazy." Rahmani mused, “I don't think this is a real alibi where someone's gonna testify that Bryan Kohberger was with me on the night of the murders.” Instead, the defense's strategy appears to focus on cross-examining the state's evidence, particularly the cell site data. According to the evidence presented, Kohberger's cell phone signal was traced from Washington State to Idaho, stopping short of the victims' house. This led to speculations that Kohberger might have turned his phone off or left it at a location before purportedly committing the crime. Rahmani anticipates that the defense will argue the cell data is inconsistent with the surveillance evidence related to a Hyundai Elantra and posit that since Kohberger's phone wasn't at the murder scene, he too wasn't present. Brueski then raised the pertinent question about the room for questioning the cell triangulation data. Rahmani, offering a prosecutorial perspective, opined that the cell phone evidence is remarkably precise. "It's very accurate," he asserted, highlighting that such data can trace a person's location within a few feet. Despite the defense's arguments, Rahmani foresees the prosecution presenting a robust rebuttal. "They're really explaining away the defense's alibi before they've even presented their case," Rahmani noted. He expects the prosecution to stress that Kohberger, a PhD student well-versed in criminal justice and cell phone intricacies, had intentionally turned off his phone. Moreover, Rahmani hinted that even if Kohberger's phone wasn't at the murder site on the night in question, it had pinged outside the house on multiple other occasions, suggesting a possible "stalking type theory." But the motive for the brutal murders remains elusive. Although motive isn't a legal requisite, Rahmani emphasized that juries often seek answers to the “why” behind heinous crimes. Gleaning from the limited information available, Rahmani speculated that the prosecution might present a stalking angle, especially given certain unreplied Instagram messages and reports of Kohberger visiting a restaurant where two victims worked. In essence, while the defense maneuvers to cast doubt on the cell data, the prosecution looks poised to address these gaps proactively and, possibly, suggest a motive grounded in obsession. The Kohberger case, with its complexities and the grim nature of the crime, underscores the intricate dance between defense and prosecution. As the trial progresses, both sides will undoubtedly employ every tool and tactic to present their narratives, with truth-seeking as the ultimate objective.
