Warsh refused to say whether Trump lost the 2020 election, wouldn't name a single Trump policy he disagreed with, and couldn't answer the obvious question of what 1% interest rates would do to consumer prices — even though he'd already admitted inflation comes from government spending and money printing.Before breaking down the hearing, Schiff delivers a history of the Federal Reserve that most economics PhDs have never learned: why the Fed was created as a private bank to issue superior banknotes backed by 40% gold, how the original act prohibited the Fed from owning treasuries, and how World War I opened the door to everything wrong with monetary policy today. He also takes aim at MicroStrategy's Strategy preferred stock as a textbook Ponzi scheme — Saylor can only pay the 11.5% yield by selling new shares, and the fine print lets him stop paying whenever he wants.Chapters:00:00 Cold Open and Intro00:57 Warsh Nomination Stakes02:34 InvestingPro Sponsor Demo07:32 Why Fed History Matters08:08 Before the Fed Era11:12 Fed Independence and Constitution14:00 Superior Banknotes Explained17:40 Outskill Sponsor Break21:47 Elastic Money Supply Myth25:49 War Finance and Treasuries32:16 Hearing Reactions Begin33:05 Trump Spending And Inflation34:02 Warren Attacks And Rate Cuts35:17 Warsh Denies Being Puppet36:34 Fed Praise And Wealth38:16 Price Stability Redefined41:15 Dodging Trump Questions43:45 One Percent Rates And QE46:06 Inflation Tax And Deficits47:00 Fed Chair And The Dollar49:54 No CBDC Crypto Pandering50:46 MicroStrategy Ponzi Rant54:20 Lawyer Evasions And Politics57:34 Warsh Verdict And Gold Pitch01:02:11 Final Wrap And SignoffFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/booksSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/news#PeterSchiffShow #FedChair #KevinWarshOur Sponsors:* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Plaud AI and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://plaud.ai* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
