The Journal. · Who Is the New Fed Chair? · 30 Jan 2026 podcast

The Fed is now entering its sixth year with inflation above its 2% goal.

And if you say you're going to meet a goal and you go for many years without hitting it, does that erode your credibility?

And then apart from that, there are just enormous questions over what effect AI is going to have on the labor force and what can a central bank do?

that raises interest rates to deal with a normal business cycle do if you're entering some sort of big structural shift.

One in particular, Tom Tillis, the Republican senator from North Carolina, has said he will not vote for any Fed confirmation.

until this whole probe is resolved.

And he repeated that view on Friday morning after Trump's announcement.

He said, Warsh is qualified, but my vow still stands.

I'm not going to move any Fed nominees until this probe is resolved.

gets resolved.

And so it seems very likely now that the White House and the Department of Justice are going to have to deal with this here because otherwise it's possible that they just won't get the new Fed chair confirmed by May.

Well, so more recently, Warsh has sort of poo-pooed or waved away concerns from the central banking priesthood that says you really shouldn't have a president attacking the Fed in this way.

It shakes markets' confidence that the Fed's going to be allowed to do its job.

And Warsh has not joined in sort of the concerns about Fed independence.

But when Warsh was a Fed governor in 2010—

Warsh gave a speech, an ode to Fed independence, and he said very clearly,

If central bankers care about anything, they should care about how history will remember them.

And you cannot have a White House that's calling the shots.

So Warsh's view is different today from what it was 15 years ago.

And a lot of people I talk to have questions about, well, which Kevin Warsh shows up at the Fed?
