Podcast appearances and mentions of Jay Powell

PREVIEW. Guest Name: Elizabeth Peek Summary: Elizabeth Peek critiques the Federal Reserve's lack of independence and Jay Powell's delayed interest rate cuts, which have adversely affected the housing market and small businesses. 1917 FED BOARD

This week, Bob takes on the hot-button debate over Federal Reserve “independence” in light of Trump's moves against Fed Governor Lisa Cook. He explains why the Fed has never truly been independent, drawing on the Treasury-Fed Accord of 1951 and the institution's long history of serving political power. Recalling Elizabeth Warren's attacks on Jay Powell to insider trading scandals among Fed officials, Bob exposes the hypocrisy of politicians and media figures who cry about independence only when it suits them. He also highlights how the Fed's structure—unanimous FOMC votes, backroom bailouts, and secrecy over bank rescues—makes it clear the central bank is not a neutral force, but a political engine of inflation and business cycles.A Comprehensive Case for Ending the Fed: Mises.org/HAP516aShould Economists Champion Fed “Independence”?: Mises.org/HAP516bThe Mises Institute is giving away 100,000 copies of Hayek for the 21st Century.

#MARKETS:   LIZ PEEK THE HILL. FOX NEWS AND FOX BUSINESS: Elizabeth Peek: Elizabeth Peek examines the persistent tension between the White House and the Federal Reserve, observing that Chairman Jay Powell's actions are often perceived as politically motivated. She attributes high inflation during the Biden years to belated rate hikes and points to a "bound up housing market" due to past low mortgage rates and current high rates, making housing unaffordable. Peek highlights the underestimated, rapid impact of AI, noting its widespread adoption (700 million weekly ChatGPT users) indicates genuine, impactful companies rather than a bubble. She also supports Trump's proposal for addressing homelessness via dedicated facilities. 1808 BANK OF ENGLAND

Two-year Treasury yields set a new almost-year low, falling below their prior April chaos lows. The yield curve is undergoing a profound reshaping that explains a lot more than Jay Powell's Jackson Hole performance. It also perfectly indicates what long-run interest rates are also doing as well as likely to do moving forward.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

On today's podcast: 1) A leading candidate to replace Jay Powell as Fed Chair sees a quarter point rate cut in September. Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller called for lower interest rates, saying he would support a reduction in September. Waller anticipates additional cuts over the next three to six months, with the pace driven by incoming data. Waller said the chances of an undesirable weakening in the labor market have increased, and proper risk management means the FOMC should be cutting the policy rate now.2) President Trump's bid to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook is headed for a showdown in court. Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte sent a new criminal referral against Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over allegations of mortgage fraud. Cook is seeking to block President Trump's move to fire her, filing a lawsuit that labels the president's bid to oust her as “illegal” and casting it as a bid to seize control of the Fed.3) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. names his top deputy to replace the fired head of the CDC. The Trump administration is tapping Jim O'Neill as the acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The move follows the firing of Susan Monarez, who was ousted after a confrontation with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over vaccine policy. Kennedy said in a message to CDC staff that he and President Trump are aligned on a vision for the CDC to strengthen the public health infrastructure by returning to its core mission.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Presented by EyeCare Professionals, Luva Wine Room, and Heartland Catfish - Jay Powell shares his thoughts on Brian O'Connor, and how a few State pitchers performed in the Cape Cod League.

Three weeks from now, September 17th, is a very ‘live' Fed decision day. At the Jackson Hole Symposium last week, U.S. Federal Reserve Chair, Jay Powell, opened the door wide to a rate cut at that meeting. However, a marked - and somewhat expected - shift in tone to the Labour side of the Fed's dual mandate was present. The word “curious” was used to describe labour market traits at this time. Discussion of a cut in September lit equity markets on fire through Friday's trade. But what do moves in the long bond space tell us? Today's guest says that with all the moving pieces in today's marketplace, the best strategy might be to stick with what you have deployed and not make any sudden moves. Joining today's episode to help put the macro themes - including massive earnings releases later this week - into perspective for you is Fidelity's Director of ETFs, Andrei Bruno.

Consumer fears over jobs increased yet again in August, as did expectations for a recession. Relatedly, two separate sources confirmed housing prices in the US fell yet again in their latest monthly estimates. Related because the one is causing the other; fears over jobs that aren't strictly fears are reducing demand for homes and a whole lot more. Deep down, even Jay Powell knows it.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

There were several key points from Jay Powell's speech at Jackson Hole which everyone seems to have missed. The market picked up on them, however, with SOFR futures reacting by pushing its inversion deeper and further out, now early 2027. What Chair Powell meant under everything he said was he finally gets the big Beveridge risk.  Eurodollar University's conversation w/Steve Van Metre------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I'm excited to share something I've negotiated for you guys: you can now get a Glint Card for FREE (normally $10) just by registering with my code ‘SNIDER' or filling out the form on the page I've linked below.All the details and more about Glint are at https://partner.glintpay.com/eurodollar/.

The Money Wise guys are back in the studio with some fresh takes on what's happening on Wall Street. This week, the markets responded positively to Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell's much-anticipated Jackson Hole speech. For the week, the Dow rose 686 points (1.5%), the S&P 500 gained 17 points (0.3%), while the NASDAQ slipped 106 points (-0.6%). Year-to-date, the Dow is up 7.3%, the S&P 10%, and the NASDAQ 11.3%. The discussion focuses on how Powell's dovish tone signaled the likelihood of an interest rate cut in September, easing fears of more aggressive tightening. His comments also reframed tariffs as a one-time price adjustment rather than a persistent driver of inflation, an important distinction for investors. The guys also touch on the Dow's relative strength in August, small-cap momentum, and how Wall Street continues to react to shifting economic signals. In the second half, the team explores how Wall Street is pushing a “gambler's mentality” among younger investors and raised concerns over so-called “educational” seminars that are really veiled pitches for insurance products. Jackson Hole Shifts the Tone The highlight of the week was Jay Powell's speech at the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole symposium, where his unexpectedly dovish tone reassured investors. Rather than doubling down on hawkish policy, Powell signaled that rate cuts could come as soon as September, framing tariffs as a one-time price adjustment instead of a long-term inflation driver. Markets responded quickly, with shorts covering and major indexes rallying into Friday, underscoring just how pivotal Jackson Hole remains in shaping Wall Street's expectations. In the second hour, the Money Wise guys give listenters a peek into what Wall Street Won't Tell You. You don't want to miss the details!

Jay Powell vs. Ronald McDonald? The FOMC yesterday published the minutes of its July meeting which showed a majority of officials believe inflation is the country's greatest threat. So, it was a huge shock when the world's biggest fast-food joint reported - ON THE SAME DAY - it was doing the opposite. Even the FOMC "majority" isn't as solid as it is made to appear, as the minutes also contained one observation that really does align with these real economy facts. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

Mark traces the history of interest rate manipulation, the precarious state of US debt, and why Chairman Powell may be clinging to high rates—not for the public good, but to save face before his 2026 exit. With the dollar weakening and deficits exploding, Mark explains why the next crisis could be just one rate cut away.Additional Resources"Trump Is Wrong about Interest Rates" by Ryan McMaken (Radio Rothbard Podcast): https://mises.org/MI_129_A"Will Fed Cut Rates By 3%?

   Shortly after the Senate passed the Big, Beautiful Bill, Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt clarified for everyone that it does eliminate 1.4 million illegal aliens from receiving benefits under Medicaid.  What a relief.    At the same time, Secretary Scott Bessent went on the attack trying to get interest rates down.  In a scathing attack on Fed Chair Jay Powell, Bessent says "complete panic" is not a strategy.  Wow.    If you can believe it, our KKHI scoreboard shows Trump had SEVEN wins on Tuesday, wait until you hear all these.   In sports, everyone thought Salvy had a three run homer in KC's win over Seattle Tuesday.  Wait until you hear about a bone headed play by a centerfielder that fooled everyone.    Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe is taking money away from World Cup KC.... good move.  Big Ben Roethlisberger slams Patrick Mahomes.  A Diamondbacks fan is booted for the season and a country music star cuts off an interview when they ask him about his wife and other men.

Note: A version of this episode first ran in 2023.Every year, the U.S. government spends more money than it takes in. In order to fund all that spending, the country takes on debt. Congress has the power to limit how much debt the U.S. takes on. Once we reach that limit, Congress has a few options so that the government keeps paying its bills: Raise the debt limit, suspend it, or eliminate it entirely. Which is daunting, because if lawmakers don't figure something out in time, the ramifications for the global economy could be huge. Shai Akabas, of the Bipartisan Policy Center, has become something of the go-to expert in calculating the exact date America would hit the wall and not be able to pay all its debts. This day is so terrifying it has a special name, the X-Date. Today's episode is about how Akabas and Jay Powell — long before he became chair of the Federal Reserve — worked to create a system to determine the X-Date with the hope of helping us all never reach it.We also have an update on this year's looming X-Date, which could arrive as soon as this summer.
