American central banker, and 16th Chairman of the Federal Reserve in the United States
POPULARITY

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently took himself out of the running to take over as Chair of the Federal Reserve at the end of Jerome Powell’s term. (Or when Trump fires him illegally.) Perhaps it has something to do with his serious flub recently when he said the quiet part out loud about privatizing Social Security. Either way, Trump is on a mission to cut the Federal Funds rate to as low as one percent. In today’s episode, we game it out to explain what would happen if rates suddenly dropped so low in this economic environment. (Spoiler: It would be catastrophic for the average American.) Then we reveal what Trump’s actual motives might be for doing so.

On today's podcast: 1) Israel's security cabinet approves a military takeover of Gaza City. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu secured cabinet approval for a military takeover of Gaza City, described as part of a final push to topple Hamas. The decision marks an escalation in the conflict, with the Israel Defense Forces preparing to seize Gaza City while providing humanitarian aid to the civilian population outside combat zones.2) President Trump makes a surprise move as he tries to reshape the Fed with the nomination of Stephen Miran to fill the seat on the Fed's Board of Governors that expires in January. Miran, the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisors, supports Trump's push to cut interest rates, and his nomination is seen as a signal of what Trump wants from the central bank ahead of his choice to succeed Jerome Powell.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller is emerging as a top candidate to serve as the central bank's chair among President Trump's advisers as they look for a replacement for Jerome Powell. Earlier Thursday, Trump said he had chosen Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Stephen Miran to serve as a Fed governor. Trump said that Miran, who will need to be confirmed by the Senate, would only serve the remainder of Adriana Kugler's term, which expires in January. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot index declined on the news, with Waller and Miran both having voiced support for lowering interest rates. We got reaction from Ivy Ng, Chief Investment Officer for the Asia-Pacific at DWS. She speaks with Bloomberg's Haidi Stroud-Watts and Paul Allen on The Asia Trade. Plus - trade tensions between the US and India are rising, while President Trump has signaled new sanctions on Russia could land as early as Friday. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also added that China levies "could be on the table" over the buying of Russian oil. Meantime, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Thursday about strengthening trade ties amid rising US tariffs. For more on the growing impact of Washington's reciprocal tariffs, we hear from Inu Manak, Trade Policy Fellow at the Council on Foreign RelationsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Niet alleen het hoofdkantoor van de Fed wordt verbouwd, ook het bestuur van de Amerikaanse centrale bank moet er aan geloven. Trump benoemt namelijk zijn economisch adviseur Stephen Miran. Waardoor hij er een vertrouweling bij krijgt.Daar stopt het niet, want hij heeft nu ook een favoriet op het oog die de baas wordt van de Fed. Deze aflevering kijken we wat het betekent voor jou dat de Fed meer MAGA-proof wordt. En of er nu echt vier renteverlagingen aan komen, zoals de economen van JP Morgan denken.Over Trump gesproken: hij blijkt iets minder impopulair te worden onder Amerikaanse kiezers. Een groter probleem hebben de Democraten. Sinds 1996 stonden ze er niet zó slecht voor als nu. We kijken ook wat er allemaal terecht komt van alle beloftes die topmannen en regeringsleiders doen. Zoals Tim Cook van Apple, die 600 miljard dollar investeert in de VS. Gaat dat allemaal wel gebeuren? En dan weer over Cook gesproken: we hebben het ook over koekjes. Over die van Lotus Bakeries om precies te zijn. Een aandeel dat geliefd is bij de Zuiderburen. Tot dit jaar dan, want de koers had het moeilijk. Al kwam daar vandaag ineens verandering in. Beleggers smullen van de halfjaarcijfers! Ook hoor je waarom je goed kan verdienen met DuoLingo en minder met dure horloges.

Victor Davis Hanson explains the long-running tensions between Jerome Powell and Trump, why Trump has dubbed him “Too Late Powell,” and the economic consequences for everyday Americans on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ The Wall Street Journal was forecasting a ‘stock crash,' a ‘trade war,' ‘uncertainty over tariffs,' ‘anemic GDP,' and all of the barometers… At that point, you would've thought that Powell, who agreed, basically, with the consensus of the economic media and most of the economists, why didn't he intervene in fears that they were right, that we were headed toward a recession and lower rates? Instead, he didn't do anything. “ Jerome Powell has been in this fight with Donald Trump. … And whether we like it or not, he's acting emotionally or angrily to Donald Trump. And he has been under threat of being fired. He does not want to show that he's going to back down and lose the independence of the Fed to the president. The problem with that stance is it really hurts millions of Americans.”
Last week, President Trump ramped up pressure on two favorite targets: elite universities and Fed Chair Jerome Powell. In the “War on Woke U,” the administration landed a $50 million settlement from Brown—the third Ivy to cut a deal—and added Duke and UCLA to the hit list with new civil rights probes and a funding cutoff. Meanwhile, after the Fed held rates steady, Trump escalated his campaign to oust Powell, denouncing him as a “stubborn MORON” on Truth Social.In this episode, Cato scholars break down the Art of the Forcible Deal. What risks do Trump's pressure tactics pose for monetary stability? Will they reform broken institutions—or just deepen their politicization? And is Trump's strongarm approach an aberration, or a preview of the modern presidency's future?Featuring Gene Healy, Ryan Bourne, Emily Ekins, and Jeffrey MironShow Notes:David Beckworth, “The Consolidated Government Budget Constraint Does Not Care About Your Fed Independence Feelings,” Substack (July 25, 2025)Ryan Bourne, “A Case for Federal Deficit Reduction,” Cato Policy Analysis no. 973 (April 18, 2024)Michael Chapman, “A Win for Liberty: Congress Defunds CPB, NPR, and PBS,” Cato@Liberty (July 23, 2025)Jeffrey A.

Could President Trump's battle with Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve over interest rates actually lead to higher mortgage rates instead of the lower rates Trump is pushing for? On The Market host Dave Meyer explores how Trump's challenge to Fed independence might backfire (hint: bond investors don't like it) and the economy-wide implications for uncertain rates in the near future. This is a must-know topic for anyone accounting for future mortgage rates in their current investing strategy.

We start our discussion in this episode with a "quick" conversation about the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad in which she talks about her good "jeans/genes." Josh argues that this is why the left lost to Trump and conservatives, because they turn everything into identity politics and racism. Ryan argues that many on the left realized that as well. We then discuss Trump's threats to fire Jerome Powell and the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Erika McEntarfer. Tom argues that Trump is playing a smart long game, but Josh and Ryan both agree that this is classic authoritarian behavior - fire people who tell the truth because you don't like the truth. Finally, we discuss the defunding of public media, particularly the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which will be shutting down at the end of the year because of the cuts. Ryan argues that it generated wholesome content that taught kids important values, and the people who claim to care about those values - conservatives - are the ones who defunded it. Josh and Tom agree, but they don't think public money should be spent on that. Wholesome content needs to stand on its own. We kind of admit that Sesame Street doesn't really stand a chance then... Unless Sydney Sweeney goes on it and shows some sideboob.
The Justice Department is considering whether to release a transcript and audio from Ghislaine Maxwell's closed-door interview with Deputy AG Todd Blanche.

Een gevarieerde beursdag, zo kan je hem wel het best omschrijven. Het ging over een vette bek, medicatie, software en over olie. Om te beginnen met oliemaatschappij BP. Dat kwam met goede kwartaalcijfers, die beleggers totaal niet zagen aankomen. Nu alle grote olie- en gasreuzen met cijfers zijn gekomen, maken we de balans op. Wat is het beste aandeel dat je kan hebben? Is dat nu toch BP of moet je gaan voor Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron, TotalEnergies of Saudi-Aramco?Die andere hoogvlieger is Pfizer. De farmaceut verrast niet alleen met de kwartaalcijfers, dat doet het óók met de outlook. Het verhoogt de winstverwachting. Ondanks de torenhoge importheffingen van Trump en zijn dreigement om de prijzen van farmaceuten aan te pakken.Die vette bek gaat over Yum Brands, de eigenaar van onder meer KFC en de Pizza Hut. Dat heeft het pijnlijk genoeg heel lastig op de thuismarkt. Al kwartalen op rij draaien ze in de VS slecht.Ook vertellen we je alles over Palantir. Dat aandeel deed het al waanzinnig goed, maar blijft maar stijgen. Reden zijn de goede cijfers. We onderzoeken waarom dit bedrijf (dat onder meer de FBI als klant heeft) zo'n beurslieveling is. Verder in deze aflevering: De Zwitsers vliegen naar Trump om te onderhandelen over de tarieven Trump ziet Scott Bessent afhaken: hij wil geen Fed-baas worden TSMC heeft een lek: er zijn bedrijfsgeheimen gestolen Aandeelhouders van NovoNordisk slepen bedrijf voor de rechter See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

WABC Host Larry Kudlow calls in to discuss New York politics, the economy, and President Donald Trump. Kudlow praises Curtis Sliwa's passion but stresses that Sliwa needs a stronger economic policy platform if he wants to beat progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani in the Mayoral election, warning that real estate and business-bashing won't cut it. Kudlow reflects on Rudy Giuliani's 1993 campaign as a model—combining law-and-order with pro-growth policies like tax cuts and school reform. Kudlow emphasizes the importance of public safety as a driver for economic health and business retention. He also discusses the dollar's weakness against the Euro, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's policies, and Trump's ongoing influence on economic direction, including tariffs and interest rates. Kudlow says Powell is wrong to keep rates high and criticizes the Fed's inconsistency. The great economist ends on a serious note, expressing deep concern about Mamdani's antisemitic views, saying that New York cannot afford a mayor who promotes hate. He urges voters to protect the city's future and its identity as a beacon of hope and tolerance. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep. 382 Ken and Dave discuss Tariff handouts, softening economic numbers, Mike Collins makes it official, a new White House ballroom, it turns out ads featuring hot girls sell clothing, the murdering fifth grade teacher, setting a politician on fire, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting closes its doors. ------ • Pike County Zoning Issue: Ken Pullin recounted a contentious zoning issue at a county commissioner meeting. Despite public protest, a property was zoned commercial because the county was legally bound by established zoning rules and ordinances, which Pullin referred to as the county's "Bible." He explained that deviating from these rules would lead to lawsuits, and he advocates for private property rights, believing in leniency regarding how people use their land. He also noted that neighbors had the same opportunity to buy the land. • Atlanta Braves Trade Deadline: The Atlanta Braves failed to make a significant move at the trade deadline, which was disappointing but not surprising given the team's current state. The hosts felt the team was "pretty much done anyway" with "no viable path" to the postseason due to injuries and a lack of interest from other teams in their available players. • Celsius Energy Drink Controversy: A significant controversy involved Celsius energy drinks reportedly being canned at the same factory as High Noon vodka seltzers. This led to incidents where individuals, including kids, became "tipsy" after consuming what they believed to be only an energy drink. The hosts discussed the significant liability for both the manufacturer and Celsius due to potential allergic reactions to alcohol, the presence of children consuming the drinks, and the general public being misled. • Delta Flight Turbulence: A Delta flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam experienced severe, unexpected turbulence over Denver, resulting in 25 people requiring hospitalization for injuries. Passengers reportedly hit the ceiling, and the galley was "torn up." The turbulence was unexpected, as it occurred while drinks were being served, not during an anticipated period of rough air. • Kamala Harris's Political Future: Kamala Harris is reportedly not running for Governor of California, signaling her focus on a potential presidential bid in 2028. The hosts expressed skepticism about her chances, noting her past primary performance (less than 1% last time) and the Democratic party's perceived lack of a strong "bench" outside of California Governor Gavin Newsom. • New Tariffs and "Tariff Checks": Former President Trump announced new tariffs on European countries and an increase for Canada. In response, Senator Josh Hawley proposed the "American Worker Rebate Act of 2025," which would issue "tariff checks" of up to $2,400 per family. The hosts criticized this proposal, arguing that it suggests tariffs raise consumer prices and that the money should instead go towards paying off the national debt, viewing it as an attempt to "buy votes." • Economic Downturn: The Dow Jones, S&P, and NASDAQ experienced a significant dive. This was attributed to the new tariffs and "really bad job numbers" for the month (73,000 seasonally adjusted jobs), compounded by sharp downward adjustments of previous months' numbers by a combined 258,000. • Trump and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS): In response to the poor job numbers, Trump accused BLS Commissioner Dr. Erica Mackinarfer of manipulating monthly jobs reports for political purposes. He also called for Jerome Powell to step down as Fed chair, urging the Fed board to "assume control." The hosts debated whether the job numbers were genuinely manipulated or influenced by seasonal factors, and whether interest rates were being kept artificially high. They agreed that "Trump needs to stay in his damn lane" regarding the Fed. • Mike Collins Running for Georgia Senate: Congressman Mike Collins officially announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate in Georgia. Despite being a Republican and having support from Kemp allies in the state legislature, his campaign faced a mishap when they misspelled "Georgia" in a campaign ad. The hosts noted that this mistake, while "stupid" and "funny," was unlikely to hurt his campaign. • Houston Gaines Running for Congressional Seat: State Representative Houston Gaines announced his bid for Mike Collins' congressional seat, raising over $500,000 in the first 24 hours. The hosts speculated that Gaines's strong reputation and early fundraising success might "clear the field" of other potential candidates for the seat. • White House Makeover: A 90,000-square-foot ballroom is being built at the White House, replacing East Wing edifices. This "significant transformation" is financed entirely by private donations, not taxpayer money. • Sydney Sweeney "Good Jeans" Controversy: An American Eagle denim commercial featuring actress Sydney Sweeney generated controversy, with some on the left labeling it "Nazi propaganda" and "eugenics." This was due to Sweeney's appearance and the play on words regarding "good genes" (referring to genetics) and "jeans" (the clothing). American Eagle did not apologize, and the ad was associated with an increase in sales and stock price. The hosts found the criticism absurd. • Arkansas Teacher Accused of Double Murder: An elementary school teacher was accused of a double murder in Arkansas. He was arrested mid-haircut, with DNA evidence matching blood found at the scene, and brave descriptions from child witnesses. • Danville City Councilman Set on Fire: Danville, Virginia City Councilman Lee Vogler was attacked and set on fire with an accelerant. While the motive is believed to be personal, not political, the act was described as a "different level of hate." • "Mule of the Week" - Georgia Southern Professor: A Georgia Southern Professor named Greg Brock was named "Mule of the Week" for suggesting that citizens in Bullet County take out a home equity line of credit (HELOC) to afford increased school taxes. This suggestion was made during a school board meeting where an unusual number of people were speaking in favor of the tax increases, which the hosts believed was orchestrated. • PBS Shutting Down: The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced it would begin shutting down after Congress canceled its approved funding. This indicated that donations were insufficient to sustain operations. The hosts expressed little disappointment, arguing that PBS and NPR should be self-sufficient through advertising or donations if their content is truly valuable, and that many shows would likely find new homes on streaming services.
Jim Bianco joins me on The Wolf Of All Streets to break down how Bitcoin and crypto may no longer be fighting the system – they might be part of it. We talk about Trump's pressure campaign on Jerome Powell, the failure of rate cuts in a world ruled by fiscal dominance, and whether stablecoins are just the new tools of Wall Street. Has Bitcoin lost its rebel edge, and could the bond market be the last thing standing between us and financial collapse?

Chairman Grassley calls this "one of the biggest political scandals and cover-ups in American history." He's right. The classified annex of the Durham report has been declassified, and it confirms what we all suspected. Hillary Clinton, Obama, and the intelligence community worked together to launch a smear campaign against President Trump. Today, we will be diving into what these declassified pages hold. Later, Trump and RFK have just announced a new digital health tech ecosystem, with some drawing parallels to biometric surveillance. Not everyone is happy about this, pointing toward the United States possibly being ushered into a sort of digital twin surveillance state. Finally, we'll be discussing how Jerome Powell is refusing to lower interest rates, Nancy Pelosi exploding on live television, and the tsunami that is looming in the Pacific Ocean. All this and more on today's Untamed!
The Trump administration has secured another major trade deal, this time with the EU. Meanwhile, the President is still grappling with disagreements with the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell over rate cuts and with other Western nations over Palestinian statehood. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to break down the internal debate at the Federal Reserve over keeping rates steady and looks ahead to the upcoming UN General Assembly, where some nations may push forward with recognizing a Palestinian state. The fertility rate in the United States has recently fallen to an all-time low, with approximately 1.6 children born per woman. This rate has been steadily declining since 2007. While many are choosing to have fewer children, others are hindered by fertility issues. Emma Waters, a policy analyst at the Center for Technology and the Human Person at The Heritage Foundation, joins the Rundown to discuss this decline and what can be done to reverse the trend.

Today's Headlines: U.S. GDP grew 3% in Q2, beating forecasts and prompting Trump to once again pressure Fed Chair Jerome Powell to cut rates—though the Fed held steady, with only Trump's appointees voting to lower them. Trump also slapped new tariffs on Brazil and India, making everyday imports like coffee and beef 90% pricier. Meanwhile, on the Epstein beat: a source says the prison footage from the night of his death isn't actually missing, and Senator Chuck Schumer invoked the obscure “Rule of Five” to demand DOJ documents—threatening court action if they're not handed over. Elsewhere in Trump-world, his former defense attorney Emil Bove was confirmed to a lifetime federal judgeship despite whistleblower claims of ethics violations and loyalty purges. The DOJ also dropped a major fraud case against Fatburger's parent company after firing the lead prosecutor, raising eyebrows given the chairman's GOP donations. In other headlines: a historic 8.8 earthquake near Russia triggered tsunami warnings across the Pacific; the FDA issued a recall after High Noon hard seltzers were mislabeled as Celsius energy drinks; and Kamala Harris announced she's not running for California governor in 2026, though she hinted at future plans.

President Donald Trump has been raging at Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell for weeks, demanding that he cut interest rates. But on Wednesday, the Fed declined—and worse for Trump, Powell delivered a blunt assessment of his tariffs, claiming they are “pushing up prices,” and that “near-term measures of inflation expectations have moved up.” Given that this comes right when more of Trump's tariffs are set to take effect on August 1, and given that Powell is directly defying Trump's fury, that amounts to a harsh blow for the president. Indeed, Trump is also venting his fury at various GOP senators for not doing his bidding. On top of all that, two new polls show his approval rating down to an abysmal 40 percent, with one finding his approval on the economy even lower. We talked to MSNBC.com columnist James Downie, author of a new piece on Democrats and the midterm elections. We discuss why Trump is weaker politically than he looks, why various dynamics look poised to make that worse, and why it's high time for Democrats to start acting like it.

Change at the central bank will accelerate once Chair Jerome Powell steps aside at the end of his term in May 2026 — or earlier if he resigns or Trump manages to fire him. Those changes include the rules that impact the largest US banks, which are already being reviewed, and on the Fed's workforce of tens of thousands across the country. “What we need to do is examine the entire Federal Reserve institution and whether they have been successful,” Bessent told CNBC on July 21. “All these PhDs over there, I don't know what they do.” “This is like universal basic income for academic economists,” he said. Cutting down on bank regulations Source: msnbc.com Reuters Poll: Gold to Stay Above $3K on Flight to Safety Global trade and fiscal debt concerns are feeding into a flight to safer assets, sharpening gold's edge as a haven from risk, prompting analysts in a Reuters poll to sharply raise their forecasts. The poll of 40 analysts and traders returned a median forecast of $3,220 per troy ounce of gold for this year, up from $3,065 predicted in a poll three months ago. The 2026 estimate rose to $3,400 from $3,000. Spot gold prices are up 27% so far this year after hitting a record $3,500 per ounce in April with the U.S. and China in the midst of a full-blown trade war, triggering regular forays into safe-haven assets. "The first half of 2025 confirmed what many of us have long believed. Gold is not just a hedge. It is a signal," said David Russell at GoldCore, calling $4,000 a realistic target by end-2026 should worries about the U.S. fiscal situation deepen further. Source: newsmax.com
