This episode digs into David Malpass’s sharp critique of the Federal Reserve and its outdated, anti-growth models. From “prevent defense” monetary policy to backward-looking inflation targeting, the Fed keeps slamming the brakes just as momentum builds. The result: higher long-term rates, a weaker dollar, and massive costs for a nation rolling over trillions in debt. Defending King Dollar isn’t about politics—it’s about total return, lower borrowing costs, and restoring affordability.
