Valuetainment - ＂TOO LATE, TOO ANGRY & TOO STUPID!＂ - Trump TORCHES Powell Over Fed’s Rate Decision

00:00:00.000 the fed holds rates steady for the fifth time this year but some officials think it's the wrong call

00:00:05.400 okay so this is president trump's best friend for the last week they've been kicking it together

00:00:12.600 all right they've been looking at properties of spending 3.1 billion dollars on it of course

00:00:17.640 patting each other in the back hard you know finally we saw a little bit of powell's personality

00:00:23.320 by putting his tongue out did you see when he when he did the did you see when he did that or

00:00:26.840 no very awkward but you can you saw the child side of him he acted like a 12 year old it was

00:00:31.820 interesting first time ever here's powell giving some good news to nobody my colleagues and i

00:00:40.840 remain squarely focused not your colleagues just say you mandate goals of maximum employment and

00:00:45.380 stable prices for the benefit of the american people despite heightened uncertainty the economy is still

00:00:51.780 in a solid position the unemployment rate remains low and the labor market is at or near maximum

00:00:58.340 employment inflation has come down a great deal but has been running somewhat above our two percent

00:01:03.960 longer run objective in support of our goals today the federal open market committee decided to leave

00:01:11.500 our policy interest rate unchanged the risks of higher unemployment and higher inflation appear to have

00:01:18.100 risen and we believe that the current stance of monetary policy leaves us well positioned to respond in a

00:01:24.460 timely way to potential economic developments okay so listen i'm not an economist back by a long shot

00:01:32.900 yeah but he just said we are kicking ass everything looks good but you never know shit might hit the

00:01:40.100 fan so to hell with all of you is that a right angle you know a part of me is so happy he's not

00:01:46.000 lowering interest rates why do you know why why okay but was i right from my my assessment of what

00:01:52.000 he just said listen he could have said this in five seconds we are not lowering peace out slap

00:01:56.720 somebody in the back yeah and maybe he could have added screw you trump like something like that

00:02:01.220 right which is really what he wants man but you know a part of me hopes he holds out for the rest of

00:02:07.760 why let me tell you why because to me i would love for rates to not be lower till 2026 why because i

00:02:17.940 believe 2026 is going to be the greatest year of our lifetime really i'm telling you okay u.s 250 year

00:03:26.760 tom your thoughts on this and then tommy i'll come to you well what was really

00:03:30.680 funny um uh i was talking to somebody and watching it live yesterday and i immediately

00:03:37.360 tweeted out as soon as i heard him say that and i turned to the person that was in my office and i

00:03:41.780 said did you hear that did you hear that click what's that the minute he said rate stable i heard

00:03:46.880 a click you know what it was trump hit caps lock i said stand by we're gonna get we're gonna get

00:03:52.740 tweets overnight but what's interesting did he did he actually tweet about it or no uh i have not

00:03:58.500 seen i yeah he he truth socialed this morning he did this yeah okay he called him an idiot and a 0.68

00:04:04.440 moron

00:04:04.800 was it in all caps stand by

00:04:09.780 i don't know caps in it yeah it was true true social this morning oh there he is he is too late

00:04:16.100 oh there we go stupid so i was prepping for podcasts i didn't see that one first first thing 0.65

00:04:20.980 in the morning too angry too stupid and too political all caps so i was right so what's what's very 0.70

00:04:26.780 interesting is um there were some people out there that felt there should have been a cut now uh most

00:04:31.760 notably uh folks at schwab uh schwab uh published a paper yesterday that said look the pace of consumer

00:04:37.840 spending has slowed uh job openings have slowed and we are seeing bulk layoffs um microsoft said that

00:04:44.800 we're have a reconstitution uh we're reconstitutioning our uh our workforce with ai 9 000 people were laid

00:04:52.700 off i believe it's three weeks ago with microsoft so schwab was saying you know there's data out there

00:04:58.640 that says that perhaps the the economy could use it right now and what was interesting there were

00:05:05.600 two dissenters one more prominent than the other the two dissenters that said they disagreed that

00:05:11.860 they thought a quarter point now were on the on the fed committee and it was christopher waller

00:05:16.940 and michelle bowman now michelle bowman is more significant you know why because christopher

00:05:22.620 waller is known and has been leaking and speaking to friends allegedly and christopher i'm sorry i'm not

00:05:28.160 trying to upset you but your name's been put in the hat by by proxies and people around you you'd

00:05:33.460 like to be the next chair of the fed and we all know why because you're serving us very very well

00:05:37.280 as part of the fed you're a smart person and you're like hey i'd like that next job that's completely

00:05:42.080 normal so people kind of discounted waller well waller's trying to do that to lean with trump now who

00:05:47.560 knows if that's the case or waller just really believes the economy could use a quarter point cut

00:05:51.640 perhaps but michelle bowman to come out and say hey i do think the economy is ready for a quarter

00:05:58.240 point uh cut uh i thought that was very significant and the uh cme fed watch tool which i watch a lot

00:06:05.900 and i also keep my eye on what's called the dot plot and for those of you scoring at home these are

00:06:10.520 just tools where people are monitoring the fed and i do it and talk about it so you don't have to

00:06:14.940 the fed watch tool says we have a 68 chance now of a 25 uh basis point cut in september and another

00:06:23.020 65 chance of a 25 cut in december and the dot plot is going to be updated right now i think it's stuck

00:06:30.780 on its may update uh that's where it is and then yep and now cme has got a couple different um

00:06:39.520 audiences that it tracks and there's an audience that rob just put up that thinks there's a 60 chance

00:06:43.580 so that's what's going on now people talk about mortgages a lot affordability and housing is tied to

00:06:50.040 the price of that house because the price you pay dictates the property tax and property taxes have

00:06:55.320 gone way up for consumers since 2021 22 because the price of the house went up then to ensure that

00:07:02.680 your homeowner's insurance goes up because you're insuring a more valuable property but people are

00:07:08.520 forgetting so interest rates can help unthaw the market but you also have the trump budget needs

00:07:14.860 these rates to come down for the interest on the debt which is in the trump budget also kelly loffler

00:07:21.420 has been doing a very good job at sba with her team she needs interest rates to come down because

00:07:26.380 she's got money that she wants to loan out the small business now on more favorable rates with more 1.00

00:07:32.180 favorable programs for small business america and the trump administration is trying to get that out

00:07:36.740 so for everybody that says oh biz stock you go on and on like this you've did the home values are

00:07:41.840 making it expensive home values are part of affordability i get it property taxes insurance

00:07:46.780 i get it but the interest rates is sort of the entry cost to get in there and that will help thought

00:07:52.360 but there's other things that are going on there that are very important to the administration

00:07:56.280 that they want the rates to come down what do you think about the story well i'll tell you this i

00:08:00.280 understand why president trump is frustrated and i think he let it be known a total loser and our 0.58

00:08:06.020 country is paying the price president trump hates to see america in any way lose or what he feels

00:08:12.420 is losing everything under his control is america winning right now economically they said the tariffs

00:08:18.840 were going to cause some kind of apocalypse that didn't happen real wages up gdp up things are looking

00:08:24.800 good they said when we started deporting illegal aliens that we weren't going to have a workforce and

00:08:28.700 that everything was going to collapse no one was going to pick the vegetables okay that has yet to

00:08:33.120 happen trump's instincts have been correct this is the last thing where he's like i got the big

00:08:37.760 beautiful bill i'm given no tax on tips overtime social security now i need this this is the final

00:08:43.340 piece of the puzzle and it frustrates him and i get it i love your optimism about 2026 by the way i think

00:08:48.780 that's great we can hold on till then i think but i understand trump's frustration and to your point

00:08:55.660 the small businesses that are like things are looking good we want to expand we want to hire more we

00:09:00.220 you know we're so excited right now they're chomping at the bit to get going and president

00:09:05.460 trump wants to see that for them so it's frustrating for him but i think it's a game of chicken and

00:09:11.060 powell doesn't want to be the one who caves to trump right and costing our country trillions of dollars

00:09:16.200 that's the interest on the debt that's part of the trump budget yeah adam so there's so much

00:09:21.540 conversation about trump being a dictator trump's an authoritarian and he's going to be a king

00:09:26.180 he can't even control his own appointed fed chairman let's not forget about that for all

00:09:32.920 the people out there that think that trump is just some authoritarian dictator he can't even convince

00:09:39.600 the person that he put in place as the fed chairman to lower rates even after calling him out calling

00:09:46.020 him a loser calling him stupid calling him too late saying that he's the worst person for the job 0.66

00:09:50.280 this is why i love america because jerome uh powell will look at trump and be like

00:09:55.380 yeah i don't really care what you have to say buddy actually respect that i actually love that

00:10:00.320 do i think that it's time to lower interest rates possibly you know the fed has two what two

00:10:04.740 main jobs to cool inflation which is at 2.7 percent their target rate is two percent and to keep

00:10:11.800 america working and make sure that the unemployment basically stays uh where it is right now don't look

00:10:17.800 now but america is doing pretty damn good uh all the talk in the spring about america going into

00:10:22.880 recession that conversation's over stock markets at basic all-time high bitcoin at all-time high

00:10:28.400 gdp per capita incredible strong dollar consumer confidence the vix is very low the fed fund rate

00:10:34.580 right now is what at four and a half percent prime rates at seven and a half percent the united

00:10:39.400 states economy is the envy of the world and i think jerome powell as much as trump hates him kind of

00:10:45.200 knows what he's doing i just don't know if this is personal political or if it's a straight economic

00:10:49.200 but we'll wait and see what happens in september right yeah i mean look to me even though tom is

00:10:57.120 saying there's two more the 65 chance september and bless you one more in december i'm hoping it's

00:11:02.700 just one instead of two and the president has to realize he's going to be president for

00:11:08.120 three and a half more years okay closer to three years now sir i know but it's still three years and

00:11:13.780 five months but he's going to be in there for nearly three and a half more years midterms are

00:11:19.100 not till when november okay so imagine they they do only one rate increase a rate cut in december

00:11:26.960 and then the market goes off in the year of midterms right record-breaking guess what's going to happen

00:11:35.760 with house guess what's going to happen with flipping some seats i actually would like the momentum to

00:11:41.800 not happen till we get closer to midterms truly i i like it to not happen till we get closer to

00:11:47.860 because nobody if you look at the market like hey my 401k's up hey my hey my bitcoin dude i don't want

00:11:52.860 to do anything let it keep from i'm not going to say i'm a republican but we're going to stay quiet

00:11:55.500 we're going to know that's what's going to happen if the market's doing good so he's got time you were

00:12:00.180 asking about the latest polo shirts that are coming up uh it took us a few months to get them they're

00:12:04.700 finally in i wore one of these everybody was asking where did you get these vitamin polo shirts
