Episode Details

Now is the time for serious governing. We need to cut expensive programs and reform the government’s role in our lives. With that said, I explain why I am pessimistic about the current leadership in Congress and their will to change their priorities. I also discuss my thoughts on Trump’s Cabinet picks and note that it’s the West Wing leadership that will control the direction more than department heads. The main course today is a deep dive into how the Federal Reserve is responsible for inflation and the housing crisis and how to reform it. Famed economist Brian Wesbury joins us for a comprehensive analysis of how the Federal Reserve’s mission creep into quantitative easing has contributed to inflation. Brian makes a case for terminating their ability to focus on employment, ending their authority to buy up assets and reform its personnel and culture.
