We know this is a little early to call, but this will be the most important episode of the year. So if you listen to nothing else, listen to this one.
Shocking news came out late Sunday night. This has literally never happened since the existence of the Federal Reserve. The Department of Justice served the Federal Reserve with grand jury subpoenas, threatening a criminal indictment related to Jerome Powell's testimony before the Senate Banking Committee last June.
In this episode we discuss the historical impact of this move and the impact it may have. We also reveal something that had JP completely shook. You can't make this up folks, 2026 is off to an unprecedented start.
