They throw these words around.
They're trying to intimidate.
And Powell is straightforward, but also very smart.
He sees what's going on.
And this was really crossing all...
I wouldn't say it's the first time they've crossed the line, but this is really crossing a serious line.
Well, I think it means, first of all, the death or at least moribundness, if that's a word, of Federal Reserve independence.
My guess, and I think it's a fairly well-educated guess,
is the same as yours, that nobody is going to get that nomination from Trump without pledging fealty to Trump.
That is not the way we have selected Fed chairs in the past.
I hope it's not the way we're going to select them in the future.
And it makes a mockery of Federal Reserve independents.
If you asked me this yesterday, I would have said he will leave the board as previous chairs have.
Now I'm wondering, I mean, I haven't talked to him about this, but I'm wondering now if he will try to hang on there to preserve what little independence the Fed maintains.
You'll have noticed that Tom Tillis has suggested he won't allow any more Fed confirmations
until this legal matter is over.
So we may be waiting on that.
We will see.
My pleasure.
Thanks.
