Send us a text A new Fed chair may be coming in May and the name on the board is Kevin Warsh. In this episode we walk through Warsh’s public track record on inflation, the political pressure around Jerome Powell, and why mortgage rates do not simply follow Fed decisions. Then it gets deeper. We map the relationships behind Warsh through the Lauder family, the Greenland angle, and what shows up inside the newly released Epstein files. This is a timeline episode, focused on what we can actually verify, what looks suspicious, and why it matters for the economy, housing, and the next chapter of the Fed. Support the show

Send us a text The Federal Reserve has quietly confirmed what the bond market, the labor data, and inflation signals have been showing for months: quantitative easing is likely coming back. Since the first episode of this podcast, we’ve been tracking the cracks in the system, from weakening job numbers to rising long-term yields and the growing strain on government debt, and now the Fed’s own language points to a return to balance sheet expansion. In this video, I break down why QE is becoming unavoidable in 2025 and share three practical things you can do right now to prepare your finances, protect your purchasing power, and take advantage of what’s coming. The money print is coming, and this is how to be on the right side of it. Trump Tracker document https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VNPGRB5ZcrxxIk_27Mmbe10nxc5wyCuHJPpD4ZGSvEU/edit?usp=sharing
