Great to be with everybody.

Brett and Jordy, great to see you both.

Great to see you too, Ben.

Great to see you, Jordi.

Great to see you, Midas Mighty.

Excited to break down all of today's stories.

And Ben, you were talking about Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

I think one of the single biggest developments that probably hasn't even gotten enough attention

is the fact that Donald Trump's attacks on Fed Chair Jerome Powell have completely backfired because Powell decided that, yes, he is not going to be the Federal Reserve Chair anymore because his term is up shortly.

However, he is going to stay on the Federal Reserve Board until the end of his term, which ends, I believe, in like January 2021.

if I'm not mistaken.

And he specifically said, when he was asked why he was doing that, he said it was because of the politicization of the Fed.

You know, it's not supposed to have this sort of outside influence.

It's supposed to be an independent body.

Donald Trump has destroyed that with these BS prosecutions

into Powell, these threats against Powell.

And so he said, you know what?

I got to stay.

I got to protect the independence of the Fed.
