Generally speaking? What would I do? 35 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 3: I'd fire him? 36 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 7: Do you think he was the president USI cols to 37 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 7: do that. 38 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 3: Well, I'm here just really with the Chairman. 39 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: He's showing us around, showing us the work, and so 40 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to get that. 41 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 3: I don't want to be personal. 42 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: I just would like to see it get finished. And 43 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: in many ways it's too bad it started, but it 44 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: did start, and it's been under construction for a long time. 45 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: It'll be it's going to be a real long time 46 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: because it looks like it's got long way to go. 47 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 8: Sir, So are there are things the Chairman can say 48 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 8: to you today that would make you back off some 49 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 8: of the earlier criticism. 50 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: Well, I'd love him to lower interest rates. Other than that, 51 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: what can I tell you? The country is doing really well. 52 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: I just brief the Chairman of the deal. 53 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 3: We've made with Japan. 54 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: Japan is putting up five hundred and fifty billion dollars in. 55 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 3: Order to lower their tariffs a little bit. That way, 56 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 3: they have a little bit lower tariff. 57 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: And they also opened their country to free trade, which 58 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: nobody thought was even a possibility, and we get a 59 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 1: zero tariff in the free trade, we don't pay tariffs, 60 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: and they're going to pay fifteen percent on everything they 61 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: send into our country. So it's great. But they put 62 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: up as you could call it seed money. Let's call 63 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: it seed money, you could call it anything you want, 64 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: but it's five it's a total of five hundred and 65 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: fifty billion dollars. 66 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 3: So nobody thought any of that was possible, and it's wonderful. 67 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: And we're doing pretty well with the European Union likewise, 68 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: and we have some others that are all really. 69 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 3: Big, and our country is going to make a lot 70 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 3: of money. We would be helped. 71 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: I interest rates would come down, but we're going to 72 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,839 Speaker 1: see how the board rules. 73 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 3: On that soon. 74 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: I'd love to see him come down a lot. But 75 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: we have a country that's thriving. We had a dead 76 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: country one year ago. Today we have the hottest country 77 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: anywhere in the world. And we'll get this one finished exactly. Yeah, 78 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: that's a terrible thing.

I'd 177 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 3: fire him? 178 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 7: He was the president gusy Colas to do that. 179 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 3: Well, I'm here just really with the chairman. 180 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: He's showing us around, showing us the work, and so 181 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: I don't want to get that. 182 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 3: I don't want to be personal. I just would like 183 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 3: to see it get finished. 184 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: And in many ways it's too bad it started, but 185 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: it did start, and. 186 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 3: It's been under construction for a long time. 187 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: It'll be it's going to be a real long time 188 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: because it looks like it's got a long way to go. 189 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 6: It's her so things are. 190 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 8: There are things the Chairman can say to you today 191 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 8: that would make you back off some of the earlier criticism. 192 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: Well, I'd love him to lower interest rates. Other than that, 193 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: what can I tell you? The country is doing really well. 194 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: I just brief the Chairman on the deal we've made 195 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: with Japan. Japan is putting up five hundred and fifty 196 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: billion dollars in order to lower that. 197 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 3: Tre the. 198 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 10: And way you described as up front payment. Will have 199 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 10: to deconstruct that. 200 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 11: But right there, not alpha and omega, right, which is 201 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 11: from Holy Scripture, but uh, alpha and debata. That was 202 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 11: one of the worst photo ops I've ever seen. And 203 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 11: course Powell, no, it's three point one. No, it's two 204 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 11: point seven three point one hey, and he gives it nobody. 205 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 11: The FEDS told me that number, not that a number 206 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 11: at the FED would ever be wrong. Far be it 207 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 11: from any number coming out of the Federal reserved to 208 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 11: be wrong, and of course Trump Handancy pays three. I 209 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 11: think it's three to two. Then they start arguing about 210 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 11: it is that a building. No, it's a building was 211 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 11: completed five years ago. That's not what you want to 212 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 11: be doing on global television, Secretary Pal. Just take it, 213 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 11: fold it, move on. Don't get into a debate because 214 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 11: you're not gonna win. President Trump's really over there, I think, 215 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 11: to talk about interest rates again, he made a. 216 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 10: Pretty uh thoughtful. 217 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 11: Description of what he wants to see and how important 218 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 11: he thinks it is to lower rate interest rates. Three 219 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 11: hundred basis points far b from President Trump going to 220 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 11: overshoot the target to try to get the deal. 221 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 10: He wants right to drag it his way. 222 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 11: I don't think we're gonna be seeing a three hundred 223 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 11: basis point rate cut anytime soon, but I think he's 224 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 11: putting the guy on notice. He wants the talking about 225 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 11: twenty five basis points in September, maybe another twenty five 226 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 11: basis points in December. He wants more and he wants 227 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 11: to be more aggressive, and he makes a very compelling 228 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 11: argument to get there. Of course, I think Paulty was 229 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 11: with him. We're gonna have We're gonna have brother fishback 230 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 11: on here as soon as we get him up. He's 231 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 11: been a big critic of the of the Federal Reserve 232 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 11: and a big uh is he upbringing a big he's 233 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 11: been observing all of this, and of course Paul, I 234 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 11: think Paulty actually made it over there, Brother fishback, thank 235 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 11: you for joining us, particularly the day and President is 236 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 11: doing a tour of the Federal Reserve. 237 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 10: First off, ca he just walk your audience through your 238 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 10: bona phides. Here. 239 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 11: We're gonna talk a lot about the FED, a lot 240 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 11: about President Trump's economic plan, and this kind of historic trip. 241 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 11: I think it's the only third time in the history 242 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 11: of the Republic that a president United States has gone 243 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 11: to the FED. 244 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 10: Once was FDR believed this FDR to actually. 245 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 11: You know, inaugurate the building, the buildings, this building, very 246 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 11: famous building was built during his term. 247 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 10: And and then I think. 248 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 11: Jerry Ford went over there because a buddy of his 249 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 11: was a governor or something. 250 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 10: But I think this is only the third. Trips are 251 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 10: pretty pretty pretty important. 252 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 11: What can you walk the audience through, since this is 253 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 11: your first appearance, what your background is and why you 254 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 11: have become a FED observer, sir. 255 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 7: We're good afternoon, Steve. It's an odor to be here 256 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 7: on w room with you. 257 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 13: I run an investment firm called a Zoria. We have 258 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 13: an anti de I E t F that strips the 259 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 13: woke out of the S and P five hundred. 260 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 7: It's called SPXM. 261 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 13: I've sent the last ten years prior to starting Azoria, 262 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 13: working as an interest rate options trader, and so my 263 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 13: job was literally to follow every word of the FED, 264 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 13: to build out my own economic models, to anticipate what 265 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 13: the Fed was going to do next, and then to 266 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 13: try to capitalize on those ships. And I got to 267 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 13: tell you the truth, Steve, when I look at the 268 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 13: FED today, I barely recognize. I can barely understand what's 269 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 13: going into their decisions. Let's not forget this is a 270 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 13: federal Reserve that cut interest rates right before the twenty 271 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 13: twenty four election by fifty points, the largest cut in 272 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 13: over four years, and now will not cut rates. Even 273 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 13: though inflation is lower today than it was when that 274 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 13: pre election cut happened. It's lower today than it has 275 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 13: been in four years, and under President Trump's leadership, inflation 276 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 13: has had five consecutive lower than expected better than expected 277 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 13: inflation prints. And so when I look at the housing market, 278 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 13: when we've got new home sales the lowest since nineteen 279 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 13: ninety five, when we've got mortgage originations down seventy six 280 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 13: percent compared to President Trump's first term, that is something 281 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 13: you lay squarely as the responsibility of the Federal Reserve. 282 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 13: And so Jerome Powell has a responsibility here which is 283 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 13: too look at the real economic data for inflation, mortgage origination, 284 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 13: home sales, the employment picture, and bring rates down. I'll 285 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 13: leave it at this point. Steve, which is the Federal 286 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 13: Reserve's own models, agree with President Trump and disagree with 287 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 13: Jerome Powell. The New York Fed is what's called a 288 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 13: natural rate model, which anticipates projects where interest rates would 289 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 13: be in their natural setting. Those rates are more than 290 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 13: one full percentage point lower on a natural basis than 291 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 13: the artificially high rates today. And so President Trump is 292 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 13: going to keep delivering, whether it's on the big beautiful 293 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 13: bill or new foreign investment from Japan or elsewhere. But 294 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 13: the truth is that Jerome Powell has a responsibility here 295 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 13: to look at the data and to lower rates accordingly. 296 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 10: James, can you hang on for one second. 297 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 11: I want to get into some details that the audience 298 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 11: wants to know about natural rates. They also want to 299 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 11: know about what an interest rate optionist trader does and 300 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 11: why you know these models backwards and forth. 301 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 10: We're gonna take a short commercial break. 302 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 11: We'll be back in a moment. We're gonna start at 303 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 11: the FED and with money. President went over the day 304 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 11: in historic and historic tour to see where you know, 305 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 11: he watches the taxpayer's money like it's his own. He 306 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 11: wants to know why it's three point one billion dollars 307 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 11: to build the Versailles on the Connecticut Avenue. 308 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 10: He's kind of shocked. 309 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 11: I'm sure, I'm sure if he'll be up in true 310 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 11: social and I give him more observations. But he also 311 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 11: had a chance to talk to the media about a 312 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 11: lot of things, but principally about his Japanese deal, the economy. 313 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 11: Why he thinks a three hundred bases point cut makes sense. 314 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 11: We're gonna put that to James fishback, short commercial break. 315 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 10: We're gonna be back in a moment.

This 341 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 13: is a reminder, we filed a lawsuit against Jerome Powell 342 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 13: for breaking federal law by holding the Federal Reserves rate 343 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 13: setting meetings behind closed door that contravenes the government in 344 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 13: the Sunshine Act of nineteen seventy six. We asked the 345 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 13: federal court very simply to block next week's FED meeting 346 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 13: from happening in secret. We just heard from the federal judge. 347 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 13: She handed down the order, which is that there is 348 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 13: going to be an emergency hearing on this on Monday 349 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 13: afternoon at ten pm in the DC Federal Courthouse. This 350 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 13: is Judge Beryl Powell, appointed by President Obama. She has 351 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 13: immediately ordered the Federal Reserves attorneys and our attorneys to 352 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 13: meet for a hearing on Monday at two pm, right 353 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 13: before the FED is set to meet on Tuesday. Our 354 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 13: temporary restraining order would block Jerome Powell's Federal Reserve from 355 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 13: meeting behind closed doors. Steve, you and I have thinks 356 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 13: thee eye to eye on this. We have concern is 357 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 13: that what Powell may be doing is politically influenced, and 358 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 13: the American people, whether they voted for President Trump or 359 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 13: voted otherwise, deserve to know what the government is doing. 360 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 7: And they're name with their money and we're going to 361 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 7: bring that all to light. And so federal hearing in 362 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 7: this emergency injunction against Jerome Powell in DC Monday at 363 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 7: two pm. 364 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 10: It just came across James. So this is huge. 365 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 11: That law was passed as a whole thing to have 366 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 11: transparency in the government post Watergate. The but the Fed's 367 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 11: been meeting in private in fact, the lords of easy Money. Yes, 368 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 11: you know this great book that was written. Chris went 369 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 11: back and looked at ten years because they keep there, 370 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 11: they keep their minutes secret for a decade. He had 371 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 11: to go back and look at and so it's an 372 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 11: amazing book. By going back, they haven't they have they 373 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 11: ever had these Fed meetings that anybody ever implement the 374 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 11: Sunshine Rule and law. And did you think it was 375 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 11: a long shot when you first thought of this to 376 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 11: go do it that way? 377 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 10: Just lost him. Okay, let's getting back up in a second. Wow. 378 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 11: So they went back to law that was kind of 379 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 11: I think is one of these post Wartergate reformer government 380 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 11: laws and sued for a t r O. And of 381 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 11: course Beryl Howe that Battle Acts. She said, let's have 382 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 11: a hearing on it. So they're going to have a 383 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 11: hearing on Monday for the closed door meeting. I think 384 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 11: all the meanings have been closed door. I don't ever remember. 385 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:43,479 Speaker 11: I don't ever remember these the meetings being otherwise. Remember 386 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 11: you go back to Lords of Easy Money, where I said, 387 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,640 Speaker 11: if you read that book, and there's there's another book 388 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 11: out about the enduring the pandemic of what the Fed 389 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 11: did to basically infuse the government the economy with an 390 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 11: additional trellion dollars not even authorized by President Trump. I said, 391 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 11: you read these two books, and you'll have a You'll 392 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 11: have a revolution in this country. It's just absolutely amazing 393 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 11: what goes. 394 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 10: On and what the author did. 395 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 11: In Lords of Easy Money, he basically goes back and 396 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 11: reconstructs from the financial crisis of two thousand and eight 397 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 11: and reconstructs all the boards of the Governor's meetings and 398 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 11: these means are talking about the Open Market Committee and 399 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 11: all that. He reconstructs it from the minutes because he 400 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 11: could finally get to him in twenty I guess twenty 401 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,719 Speaker 11: eighteen and twenty nineteen, because that was over a decade. 402 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 10: They're kept secret up until then. 403 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 11: President Trump today at the Federal Reserve really to see 404 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 11: pow and say once again, I want you know, but 405 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 11: I want loans. I want interest rates at three hundred 406 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 11: basis points lower, which is a pretty big a pretty 407 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 11: big shocking, you know, that would be a quite. 408 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 10: That would be really a dramatic drop. 409 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 11: James fishback right there, who specializes this and models this, 410 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 11: says that if you look at their model the way 411 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 11: it should be, the natural interest rates, it should be 412 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 11: at least one hundred basis points one point lower, which 413 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 11: is President Trump started off with that he should James, 414 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 11: given the Sunshine laws they've been around, everything's been in secret. 415 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 11: I believe what got you the idea to use that 416 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 11: law to actually wedge this thing open, sir. 417 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 13: Well, Steve, it was really about using the overturn of 418 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 13: the Chevron doctrine in the lower bright case that we 419 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 13: were able to, of course win because of President Trump's 420 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 13: appointees on the Supreme Court. And so what Chevron doctrine 421 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 13: is the warriorm audience will know very well. 422 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 7: Is it over? 423 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 13: It gave federal agencies like the Fed deference. It allowed 424 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 13: them to tell the courts how they wanted to interpret 425 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 13: federal law and regulations that applied to them. The Supreme 426 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 13: Court overturned that, and so that is a massive tailwind 427 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 13: for our case against Jerome Powell. And I mean this 428 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 13: was asking for a tro is a long shot by 429 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 13: any stretch of the imagination in any sense, Steve, you 430 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 13: know this, but as a conservative in Washington, DC, you 431 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 13: forget about it. What we just heard from Judge Beryl Howell, 432 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 13: appointed by President Obama, is that she is now moving 433 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 13: forward with an emergency hearing on our tro If we 434 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 13: are successful at that hearing, Steve, on Monday, this will 435 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 13: be the first FED meeting in nearly fifty years a 436 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 13: half century that is open to the public. 437 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 7: The public deserves. 438 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 13: To know what the Fed is doing doing those deliberations, 439 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 13: because when I talked to folks, woman stopped me at 440 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 13: every day in the airport, Steve, and she said, President 441 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 13: tump is. 442 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 7: Doing a great job, but Jerome Powell is too late. 443 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 13: Jerome Powell's job isn't making any sense, but he's keeping 444 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 13: rates near twenty year highs, despite the fact that inflation 445 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 13: is now at a four year low. 446 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 11: We're to get back to your model in natural laws. 447 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 11: I want to stick with this for a second. What 448 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 11: do you tell the audience, what will take place. If 449 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 11: you're not using deconstruction of the Administry of State, the 450 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 11: Chevron exemption, all that. If you're not able to actually 451 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 11: open this up what normally happens at these FED meetings? 452 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 11: And why do you believe it's so important for us 453 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 11: actually to see how the sausage is being made. 454 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 13: It's so important because in that room there are nineteen 455 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 13: people who are deciding the cost of how much you 456 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 13: pay on your credit card, whether you can afford a mortgage. 457 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 13: If you can't afford a mortgage, you can't get to home. 458 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 13: If you can't go to home, you may not be 459 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 13: able to start or grow your family. You're a small 460 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 13: business owner, you're a farmer, you want to expand your 461 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 13: cattle ranch. You can't do that if interest rates are 462 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 13: near twenty year highs. And that's the predicament that we're 463 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 13: currently in. Let's talk about the way things are right now. Steve, 464 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,959 Speaker 13: which brought Azoria, the investment firm that I founded and 465 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 13: run that brought Azoria to bring this case against Jerome 466 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,199 Speaker 13: Powell in federal court. Today, Today's meeting, the meeting that 467 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 13: is set to happen next Tuesday and Wednesday at the 468 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 13: Federal Reserve. The minutes, the full transcript of that meeting, 469 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 13: what was said and by whom would be delayed, would 470 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 13: be withheld by the Federal Reserve until January twenty thirty one. 471 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,719 Speaker 13: Imagine if the Federal Trade Commission or the FCC was 472 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 13: creating new laws and regulations and was not releasing the 473 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 13: deliberations for half a decade. The Federal Reserve is arguably 474 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 13: the most important economic body in the country. They're the 475 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 13: least transparent by far and the least accountable by far, 476 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 13: and so Steve. Even though this lawsuit is entitled Azoria 477 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 13: Capital Versus Powell, we bring it on behalf of every 478 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 13: American who deserves to know what the Federal Reserve has 479 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 13: been doing behind closed doors, because none of it makes sense. 480 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 13: It doesn't make sense when Jerome Powell is cutting by 481 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 13: fifty points right before the election what looks like a 482 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 13: political attempt to help Kamala Harris. Inflation is lower today, 483 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 13: closer to the Fed's target, and he refuses to cut 484 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 13: rates at the four meetings that have happened so far 485 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 13: this year, likely because Donald J. 486 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 7: Trump is the forty seventh president of the United States. 487 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 11: Chris Landard, who wrote the book Lords of Easy Money 488 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 11: went back. You know, the book is such a revelation 489 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 11: because you couldn't see the minutes, you couldn't see the 490 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 11: transcripts until a decade later. 491 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 10: You're absolutely correct. 492 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 11: What are you guys going to argue on Monday? What 493 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 11: is your basic argument to the judge? If it hasn't 494 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 11: been done in fifty years, doesn't precedent take override, override 495 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 11: the sunshine laws. 496 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 10: Sir. 497 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 7: It's a great question. It is a really good question. 498 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 13: So our our immediate argument would be, you've been breaking 499 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 13: the law for the last fifty years. It doesn't give 500 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 13: you an excuse to break the law again. The second 501 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 13: is that Azuria, as an investment firm, has unique standing 502 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 13: in this case that others may not have, and that 503 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 13: is that we run an investment firm. We have an 504 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 13: anti dei ETF STEVE. It's called s e XM. It's 505 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 13: available on any brokerage account. Because of that ETF and 506 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 13: our forthcoming Golden AGTF, both of which infest in the 507 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 13: US Treasury market, we are an active participant in the 508 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 13: sort of open market operations and asset purchases that the 509 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 13: FED does so in the FED sets interest rates and 510 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 13: doesn't disclose what sort of policy thinking went into that decision. 511 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 13: We are harmed, and we would argue we are irreparably 512 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 13: harmed by that sort of opacity, by that secrecy. And 513 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 13: so our argument is that we have unique standing. The 514 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 13: Chevron doctrine has been overturned, and that this meeting in 515 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 13: particular comes at a time where the public, Republican and Democrat, 516 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 13: is rightly concerned that monetary policy, under the leadership of 517 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 13: Jerome Powell or lack thereof, is being unduly influenced in 518 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 13: a way to undermine the duly elected president of the 519 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 13: United States that in turn hurts millions of Americans. Mortgage 520 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 13: rates Steve. They're at a twenty four year high, credit 521 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 13: card rates are at a twenty five year high. New 522 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 13: mortgage originations down seventy six percent. New family home sales 523 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 13: are down to the lowest level since nineteen ninety five. 524 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 13: All of this lays at the feet of Jerome Power. 525 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 13: I think he's a good guy. I met him a 526 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 13: couple times when I was a macro trader attending these 527 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 13: econometric conferences. But I got to tell you the truth. 528 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 13: It's not that rates are simply too high. They are 529 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 13: artificially too high. The natural rate models that we've built 530 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 13: at Azoria, that we look at from the New York 531 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 13: Federal Reserve suggest that rates are at least one hundred 532 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 13: to one hundred and seventy five basis points too high. 533 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 13: And the President Trump coming out and saying that rates 534 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 13: should go three hundred lower, that is perhaps a negotiating strategy, 535 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 13: but we believe rates do need to be a lot lower, 536 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 13: a lot faster. 537 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 11: James, skin you hanger for one second. I just want 538 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 11: to hold you into the next. The audiences is loving this. 539 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 11: I want to make sure. I want to make sure 540 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 11: we break down and get some analytics here on the 541 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 11: rates in the natural rate and all that and what 542 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 11: you did as a options trader in rates. Short commercial break. 543 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 11: We're going to be back in the worm on Texas Monday. 544 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 11: We're going to go to Texas Monday, nine to seven to two. 545 00:26:55,160 --> 00:27:00,160 Speaker 11: Patriots go there today.

President Trump has 548 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,719 Speaker 11: been hammering this, and yes, I do believe the three 549 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 11: hundred basis points. He believes that, but I think he 550 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 11: also knows, knowing his negotiating style, he's trying to drive 551 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 11: pal to a point. 552 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 10: Walk us through this concept. 553 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 11: Well, okay, hang over a second, let's go yeah, let's 554 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 11: go right to russ vote. 555 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 10: At the at the sticks. We'll come back to James fishback. 556 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 6: Interest rates need to come down. 557 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 12: The country is exploding, and there's this one part that 558 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 12: could allow it to go even and higher. To have 559 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 12: relief for families that want to get new mortgages. 560 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 6: Very very important. We're gonna keep asking the questions. 561 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 12: A lot of still things that we could have done better, 562 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 12: a lot cheaper. We kind of got you know, we've 563 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 12: seen the paper now you kind of get to see 564 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 12: the tunnels, the atriums that didn't exist before, and we're 565 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 12: going to continue to ask those kind of questions. 566 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 2: Brush have avoided linking the idea of lowering interest rates 567 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 2: to the president's scrutiny of this project. 568 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,640 Speaker 9: But the President's talking about them both at the same time. 569 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 9: You're talking about them both at the same time. 570 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 14: How much does the administration's concern about this project have 571 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,719 Speaker 14: to do with frustration that Jay Powell won't do when 572 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 14: the President says he. 573 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 12: I think he's the President's a builder. I mean, we've 574 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 12: learned the three of us have learned more in this 575 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 12: afternoon seeing him on a job site, going around and 576 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 12: talking about how he would have done things differently, the 577 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 12: expensiveness of something, and you just can't take that away 578 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 12: from someone feels the same way. 579 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,719 Speaker 6: And so we want this to go. 580 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 12: We want this thing to get done cheaply, and we 581 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 12: want to make sure the taxpayers have as much information 582 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 12: about what the state of the facts are. 583 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 9: Is the president the president sail back off. 584 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 15: From what you were told what you saw today on 585 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 15: the ground at the fuddlers, or. 586 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 11: Do you believe that they're sprad coppy air like. 587 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 6: Through the slag. We're taking a look look s uh 588 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 6: s center. 589 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 12: Scott's gonna continue to have a major uh document request 590 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 12: that either went up tonight or or this earlier this 591 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 12: week or last night and earlier this week. 592 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 6: We still have questions that we want answered. 593 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 13: Uh. 594 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 6: We want the facts. 595 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 13: UH. 596 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 12: But we're taking a look at it and that that 597 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 12: will continue. But I think what was helpful about today 598 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 12: is that we got to see on the ground. When 599 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 12: you see something on paper, what's that referring to And 600 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 12: the extensiveness of what they really embarked on, really dug 601 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 12: digging out an entire new basement a tunnel. You know, 602 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 12: we we don't have a tunnel here between our buildings. 603 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 12: They have uh atriums that never existed before. Just the 604 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 12: extent to which they put up wood on all of 605 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 12: the panels, the extent to which air condition was flowing 606 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 12: throughout the job. There's a lot of things about this that, uh, 607 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 12: I think would raise questions. And we're gonna keep working 608 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 12: at it and do this in a very deliberative approach. 609 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 7: Said that you would fire a project manager who went 610 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 7: over budget like this. 611 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 6: You believe this is caused for drum howells for. 612 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 12: You guys have always tried to make it as metaphysical 613 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 12: conversation about the FED, and it's not. The president has 614 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 12: policy views. He wants lower interest rates. 615 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:22,959 Speaker 6: Uh, you are asking him. 616 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 12: You're asking him about tariffs, You're asking him a whole 617 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 12: sorts of things that think he gets to talk about 618 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 12: lower interest rates at the same time he gets to 619 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 12: talk about his opinions about how he would do a 620 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 12: building cheaper. 621 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 14: Specifically project three point one billion versus two point five and. 622 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 6: Trump and back and forth on that. The headquarter. 623 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 12: The headquarters is three buildings. The two that are still 624 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 12: in progress are the echos and the one that's next 625 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 12: door to it with the tunnel. Right, that is a 626 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 12: three billion dollar in counting project that started at one 627 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 12: point eight. 628 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 6: It is massively overrun. It's massively overrun if. 629 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 12: You take just the two buildings, nearly a billion dollars 630 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 12: of cost overrun. 631 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 6: So again, we've got a lot of questions. 632 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 12: Those questions were not satisfied, but we certainly have a 633 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 12: better sense of what's going on. 634 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,719 Speaker 15: To do this almost historic tour given us how rare 635 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 15: it is for a president, and also does this tour 636 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 15: today do anything. 637 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 5: To change dynamic or improved it? 638 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: That dynamic between the federal chariots charitable when a president comes. 639 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 12: In president is a world class builder, and when when 640 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 12: he learns that his team is gonna go and do 641 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 12: a tour of the Federal Reserve that's literally like three 642 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 12: blocks down, he's gonna want to be a part of it. 643 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 12: And we were thrilled that he wanted to come along. 644 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 13: How how is demeanor did you find him to be 645 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 13: opening your inquiries? 646 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 6: You find him to be cordial? 647 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 8: How would you describe it? 648 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 6: I mean much of it was on television. 649 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 12: I think they had good conversations and some of it 650 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 12: we weren't privy to, and we're able to really go 651 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 12: through the tour and see and get a sense of 652 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 12: what each other we're. 653 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 6: Looking at. 654 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 13: Is about the price tag of these renovations to you 655 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 13: were certain right now how much this. 656 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 7: Has cost to two these renovations. 657 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 12: No, I don't know for sir, and I'm going off 658 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 12: a third party uh information that's been released, and that 659 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 12: information search is going to continue.

There's a 666 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 9: cost over on. 667 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 6: You can look. 668 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 9: These are the fed's own internal documents that we're floyd 669 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 9: and are published online. 670 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 14: It went from one point eight one point nine to 671 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 14: two point five and nine to three point one for 672 00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 14: the capital expenditures within their own budget for the little 673 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 14: renovation and building a complex. 674 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 9: So the chairs really splitting hairs there when. 675 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 14: He's saying, well, that's this building, Okay, if you take 676 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 14: that building out of it, it's still an inflation from 677 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 14: one point four billion to two point five billion. 678 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 9: There's no way around it. The cost overrun is Mass's. 679 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 6: Own doctor fraud through this investigation. 680 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: Does that mean the President that would. 681 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 15: Fire care Powell. 682 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 12: We are where we are, which is we want the 683 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 12: lower interest rates. The president that is his policy view. 684 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 12: He thinks it's vital to the country economically. And we 685 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 12: are also on a host of issues, this one being 686 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 12: one that is front and center today. Trying to do 687 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 12: things cheaper on behalf of the American taxpayer. And there's 688 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 12: a lot of ways you could have done this differently. 689 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 14: If the ped cuts raise to the head cuts rates, 690 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 14: is the President going to drop this inquird the pad 691 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 14: cuts rates really dropped inquiry. 692 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 12: This is he's approaching this as a builder. We want 693 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 12: to get this done, so we want a project to 694 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 12: get done unrelated. 695 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 6: To interest rates. That's what's important. You know, it's on 696 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 6: the national mall. Uh. 697 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 12: It needs to get done as soon as possible, and 698 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 12: we can't have the situation where this is hanging over 699 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 12: the country's head. 700 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,240 Speaker 6: The president would have the power fire adventure. 701 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 14: And shows I think the president every day almost at 702 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 14: this point answers that he's not really thinking about that 703 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 14: right now. I mean, how many press conferences this week 704 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 14: has that question been posed to the president? 705 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 16: And looking at it again, I think he's a builder. 706 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 16: He cares about the cost the costs have gotten out 707 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 16: of control. And then separately, you know, we run the 708 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 16: president runs Fannie May and Freddie Mack. In his first term, 709 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 16: people were able to buy a mortgage for three percent 710 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,720 Speaker 16: these days after Biden's inflation, and what happened with rates. 711 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 16: Now you're looking at seven percent mortgages. So this is 712 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 16: of great concern to the president. But I view them 713 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 16: very differently as two different things. You can't help be 714 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 16: a builder and be the president of the United States 715 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 16: and see these cost overruns and not ask a bunch 716 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 16: of questions. 717 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 9: Pressure care to lower interest rates? Is that what this 718 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 9: is about? 719 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 13: I mean, he stood right next to woman said I 720 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,800 Speaker 13: think rate should be lower at the same moment you 721 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 13: guys are there investigating the Then is this a pressure campaign? 722 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 6: Again? 723 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 12: Can answer it the same way many different times. The 724 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:18,400 Speaker 12: President has a policy view about lower interest rates that, 725 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 12: as Bill said, is vitally important to the country economically 726 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 12: and for the pocketbooks of the American people. And he 727 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,959 Speaker 12: is a builder that looks at Largesse and just automatically 728 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 12: starts to think about how what he would do in 729 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 12: that situation. I think the FED learned a lot today 730 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 12: based on those conversations. We certainly learned a lot, and 731 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 12: it's going to inform the questions that we're going to 732 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,360 Speaker 12: continue to ask to get to the bottom of it. 733 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 6: What did you see today? That s What did you 734 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 6: see today that surprised him? 735 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 12: I think the extent to which, uh, the degree to 736 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 12: which they had to build down into the basement, uh 737 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 12: and really essentially jack the entire building up to do 738 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 12: some of these things. I mean, remember, this was a 739 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 12: building that was renovated between nineteen ninety nine and and 740 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:06,280 Speaker 12: over a three. 741 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 6: Or four year period. 742 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,919 Speaker 12: So the notion that you know this it's never seen 743 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:15,399 Speaker 12: any kind of renovation since the nineteen thirties, there's more 744 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 12: to that story and so that and that's still in 745 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 12: there's there's still at the. 746 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 6: Very beginnings of that renovation. So this is a long 747 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 6: way to go. But that's what I was. 748 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 15: The cost here, and that is exactly what you have 749 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 15: been talking about. President's been talking about who was responsible 750 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 15: for you? I think the president accurate information on what 751 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 15: the cost is because Beteor J. Powell was correcting them online. 752 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,760 Speaker 14: No, he wasn't what the President pulled out of his pocket. Now, 753 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 14: the President pulled out of his pocket a page from 754 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 14: the foyer request of the Fed's own internal documents that 755 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 14: is available. 756 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 6: On their website. 757 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 9: So it's available there. 758 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,439 Speaker 14: No, what what the President is saying is the entire 759 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 14: construction project that's going on, which is a build in 760 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 14: renovation project over the last number of years, is currently 761 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,399 Speaker 14: at three point one billion dollars. And what the FED 762 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 14: Chair was saying was no, no, you have to take 763 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 14: one of the buildings out of it. Well, no, it's 764 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 14: all one project on the whole complex. 765 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 15: That the building was already done. 766 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:18,800 Speaker 6: It's not part of what your. 767 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 3: Issues are right now. 768 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,359 Speaker 14: I don't know what you're saying. If you go back 769 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 14: and look and the presidents looked at the forums, they're 770 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 14: right there. You can see every single year they put 771 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,280 Speaker 14: out the foyers for every single year, and every single 772 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 14: year the numbers have gone up for this project. 773 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 9: President, accurate in your assent. 774 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,360 Speaker 14: I think what the FED Chair is doing is splitting 775 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 14: hairs in that moment to try to drive down the 776 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 14: top line costs for what we're talking about. 777 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:48,720 Speaker 6: Yes, we believe our numbers are accurate. 778 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 14: Ahead, they're their numbers again, the President was citing their 779 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 14: numbers from their forms that they have published. 780 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,839 Speaker 9: Because we did not foy it. It's available right now 781 00:37:58,920 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 9: on the Fed's website. 782 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,359 Speaker 6: James, President, right, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, right here. 783 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 8: You want to see this project sped up and go faster. 784 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 6: What are the specific actions even tend to take next? 785 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 14: Does that mean you're not going to call the project? 786 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,240 Speaker 5: And who will have the alternate decision. 787 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 14: Over the next The President said that, you know, we 788 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,359 Speaker 14: are where we are. The project has to be done now. 789 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 14: It'd be nice if they don't have more cost overruns. 790 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 14: But I mean, the building's got a long way to go, 791 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 14: and at this point it's just kind of got to 792 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 14: get done. 793 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 6: This building's got a long way to go. 794 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:26,800 Speaker 9: It's got a long way to go. 795 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,719 Speaker 15: You're saying that concerns about interest rates and the cost 796 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 15: of this renovation or two separate things. But are you 797 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 15: concerned about the messages sends to markets to have the 798 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 15: President visiting who beds something that hasn't happened in twenty 799 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 15: years and publicly saying on television. 800 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 9: The lower interest rates of this sort of ropes. The independence. 801 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 16: No, I think I think the market should like it. 802 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 16: You have a president who's engaged. He's a builder, and 803 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 16: he also understands interest rates. Remember, building in construction is 804 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,800 Speaker 16: also very much tied to interest rates. This is a 805 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,600 Speaker 16: president who understands interest rates better than any president before. 806 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 16: He's crushed inflation. In his first term, we had three 807 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 16: percent mortgages. Now we have seven percent more mortgages. Costs 808 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 16: have doubled. People can't afford mortgages because of the last 809 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 16: four years under Biden, and so we need to get 810 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 16: these rates down. We can get rates down, and that 811 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 16: would have a booming effect on the housing market and. 812 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 6: The mortgage market. 813 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 14: And as for the market reaction, I mean, this is 814 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 14: not a new concept. This is a very public discussion. 815 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 14: The market continues to go up, the revenue of the 816 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,280 Speaker 14: country continues to go up. There is a budget surplus 817 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 14: last month of twenty eight billion dollars. Just yesterday or 818 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 14: two days ago, the president announced a huge trade deal 819 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 14: with Japan. I mean, let's stop speaking and hypotheticals. Let's 820 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 14: just look at what's happening. This conversation is being had 821 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 14: in public. The market is reacting every day the market 822 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,280 Speaker 14: is going up, the job numbers are improving, every economic 823 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,800 Speaker 14: indicator is going in the right direction. And if we 824 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 14: can just look back to last year, go back to 825 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 14: last summer, every Democrat that's now silent was calling for 826 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 14: the interest rates to be lowered, every single one of them. 827 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 14: Now they're completely silent now that President Trump is in office. 828 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 14: But one year ago they said the rates are too high, 829 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 14: and they were calling all it for it all the 830 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 14: way leading up until the election. The economy is markedly 831 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 14: better now than it was then. So our question would 832 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 14: be where the Democrats on this. Mortgage rates are too high, 833 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,919 Speaker 14: credit card interest rates are too high, all loan rates 834 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,879 Speaker 14: are too high. They felt that way a year ago. 835 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,439 Speaker 14: Everything is better now. Why don't they feel that way today? 836 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 14: It doesn't make any sense. 837 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,400 Speaker 16: The Democrats own The Democrats own the high rates, and 838 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:21,319 Speaker 16: they own the mortgage rates and not coming out Bill 839 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,240 Speaker 16: poultiwise from. 840 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 11: The Trump administration, you got James Blair's the political head 841 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 11: of the political group inside the White House of West Wing. 842 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 11: He's uh, he's a hammering the media and of course 843 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 11: the great russ vote, making a very compelling argument about 844 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 11: and by the way, I'm a comment when we get 845 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 11: back pal Yo, dude, the head of the Federal Reserve. 846 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,479 Speaker 11: You got to have the basic understanding of the math. 847 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 11: Pretty good screw up or misdirection play. If the guys 848 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 11: are right, and I think as I've checked it, they're right. 849 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,280 Speaker 11: Short commercial break back in the warm in a moment. 850 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 6: Right now to have their first home. Appreciate there they are. 851 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,839 Speaker 14: There's a very ambiguous argument, Well, we're not really sure 852 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 14: with Tarff's. I don't know how you're not sure with Tariff's. 853 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,759 Speaker 14: The President talks about it every single day. The plan 854 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 14: is very transparent, and what the President predicted, what happened 855 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,760 Speaker 14: with tariffs is happening. Money is coming into the country, 856 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 14: Prices are not going up, Inflation is not going up. 857 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 14: We run it again. We ran a surplus last month. 858 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 14: It's just it's a very arbitrary argument. I think can 859 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 14: argue that they've been making to keep rates where they are. 860 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 12: Direct last question, this particular project in the Federal Reserve, 861 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,919 Speaker 12: but it costs for in the United States. 862 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 8: To build infrastructure more than any other composition in the 863 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 8: country in the world. 864 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 9: Are you looking into a system wide problem or it's 865 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 9: just one project. 866 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 12: Club We always can We're very interested in infrastructure. The 867 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,800 Speaker 12: President's always been an infrastructure president. Those policy processes like 868 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:53,240 Speaker 12: NEPA reform are always a part of our deregulatory agenda 869 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,320 Speaker 12: and priorities. There is something unique about this project and 870 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 12: some of the decisions that were made that has caused 871 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,840 Speaker 12: a kind of a fern level, heightened level of concern 872 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,800 Speaker 12: that we're going to keep asking questions about. 873 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 6: And you know, I only expect that to continue. But 874 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 6: thanks guys. As on what on changing the way to 875 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 6: the federal governments stets wanting. 876 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 12: To build things, we're always in working with conjunction with Congress. 877 00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 12: They just passed one big beautiful bill all sorts of 878 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 12: things that allow us to have cheaper energy, lower better 879 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,880 Speaker 12: tax regime. You know, our view right now with this 880 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 12: project is that there are things that can certainly be 881 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 12: done better. Uh and we still want to get to 882 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,360 Speaker 12: the bottom of unanswered questions that we have. 883 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 6: Thank you guys, Thank you James. 884 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,719 Speaker 11: Bill Paulty, James Blair, the political director of Paulty, And 885 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 11: of course the Grace or Russ vote. The reason we 886 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,440 Speaker 11: played that in its entirety was to see a confrontational 887 00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,320 Speaker 11: press and what amazing staff they have over there that 888 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 11: will not back down. Those three guys right there are 889 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:04,240 Speaker 11: just hey, here are the facts. 890 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:05,919 Speaker 10: No brag, just fact. 891 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,200 Speaker 11: We've got James fishback back up for this block. James, 892 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 11: you heard the back and forth walk through the mathematical 893 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,440 Speaker 11: argument why you and the President United States are correct 894 00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 11: and Jerome Powell is wrong? 895 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 7: Sir, the honor to Steve. 896 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 13: The mathematical argument is actually one that's not necessarily mathematical 897 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 13: in nature. I want to bring up Jerome Powell's own 898 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 13: speech from Jackson Hole. That's the Annual Policy Conference. It 899 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 13: was entitled Natural Amongst the Stars from August of twenty nineteen. 900 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,520 Speaker 13: This is the Jerome Powell that President Trump appointed, the 901 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 13: one that I respected, and what he said was the 902 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,960 Speaker 13: natural rate is not a precise mathematical formula. But you 903 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 13: judge the natural rate by how the economy is responding 904 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:55,080 Speaker 13: to interest rates. So, for example, mortgages are higher than normal. 905 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:59,240 Speaker 13: If you're seeing larger than normal home activity and origination activity, 906 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:04,360 Speaker 13: that would suggest that the interest rate is below natal levels. 907 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:14,319 Speaker 13: Lobsilutely home sales the lowest in thirty years, that would 908 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,840 Speaker 13: suggest that rates are too high versus natural. If you 909 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 13: are seeing mortgage originations down seventy six percent in the 910 00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 13: past four years. That would suggest that interest rates are 911 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 13: above the natural level, they are artificially high. And so 912 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,359 Speaker 13: what we do at a ZORI is we've built out 913 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:35,399 Speaker 13: this econometric model to better understand the economic outcomes. If 914 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 13: they are below the baseline, we then say that the 915 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,320 Speaker 13: natural rate is far lower than the artificial rates that 916 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 13: are currently being set by the Federal Reserve. But I 917 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:49,040 Speaker 13: want to make it very clear, Jerome Cowell is the 918 00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:53,280 Speaker 13: Anthony Fauci of economics. He is wrong, he is smug, 919 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,200 Speaker 13: and he is completely non transparent and unaccountable. That's why 920 00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:01,320 Speaker 13: my investment firm, Azoria, brought this federal case against Jerome 921 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,440 Speaker 13: Powell this morning in DC Federal Court. And that's why 922 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,960 Speaker 13: we just learned thirty minutes ago that a judge appointed 923 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 13: by of all people, President Barack Obama has ordered an 924 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:16,280 Speaker 13: emergency hearing on our tro on our temporary restraining order Steve. 925 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,840 Speaker 13: That order, if we are successful, will know on Monday afternoon, 926 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:24,080 Speaker 13: would block Jerome Powell from holding next week's FED meeting 927 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,320 Speaker 13: behind closed doors. Americans from all walks of life deserve 928 00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:32,000 Speaker 13: to know how and why the FED is choosing to 929 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,799 Speaker 13: keep interest rates in near twenty year highs, even though 930 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:38,680 Speaker 13: President Trump is delivering it the lowest inflation in four years. 931 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,640 Speaker 11: James, social media, Where do people go to find out 932 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 11: more about your investment fund and more about this case? 933 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,759 Speaker 13: Yes, invest Azoria dot com is the place to go. 934 00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,920 Speaker 13: Our investment fund, Steve, is an anti dei ETF. It 935 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,279 Speaker 13: buys the same stocks as the S and P five 936 00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,160 Speaker 13: hundred funds that we all know and love, except it 937 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:04,640 Speaker 13: removes the thirty eight stocks Nike, Starbucks, Airbnb, Intel, that 938 00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:08,840 Speaker 13: have doubled down on disastrous dei quotas that our research 939 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 13: at a Zoria shows drives massive stock underperformance. So the 940 00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,840 Speaker 13: math is simple. When you have a portfolio and you 941 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,919 Speaker 13: kick out the stocks that underperform, you are poised to outperform. 942 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,440 Speaker 13: What we are seeing is folks sell their S and 943 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:27,120 Speaker 13: P five hundred ETFs and buy sp x M instead. 944 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,040 Speaker 13: It is a better way to be long President Trump's 945 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,360 Speaker 13: golden age stock market without having any exposure to the 946 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:37,080 Speaker 13: dei laggers and losers that hold back our portfolios. 947 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 10: James, thank you very much, great maiden voyade here in 948 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,000 Speaker 10: the war room.

President Trump historic today only the third time 952 00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,640 Speaker 11: in the history of the Republic.
