He wants them to be completely independent from Trump, and he managed to do that during this hearing.
Yeah, it's part of a bigger reform package that Warsh has laid out for the Fed.
I mean, he used to work for the Fed and then he went to the private sector.
And in the interim, pretty much all he's done is bash the Federal Reserve.
He thinks it's a dinosaur of an institution.
He said the Fed must not be ruled by pointy head economists poring over outdated models.
and reams of market data and said that the Fed was one of the main reasons behind the inflation of the past few years coming out of COVID and the Russia-Ukraine war.
He called it a fatal policy error going back four or five years.
So he's coming in guns blazing.
He's like, I think this institution is totally rotten and I want to reform it from the ground up, whether that's paring back communications, revising how they do inflation.
which is going to be a very interesting move to to criticize the Fed, because as we know, it's the Fed is a consensus building operation.

And we'll see what happens.
I mean, Powell is supposed to step down on May 15th.
Walsh is supposed to ascend then.
But if this DOJ probe into Powell continues, looks like this whole switcheroonie could get delayed.
Moving on, President Trump went on CNBC's Squawk Box yesterday morning, and like me at any function, all he wanted to talk about was airplanes.
Of course, when he does it, it's a bit more consequential.
