Fed Under Fire: Politics, Powell, and the Future of Monetary Policy

Aug 22, 2025

In this episode of Something More with Chris Boyd, Chris and Russ Ball unpack the political drama surrounding the Federal Reserve and its embattled Chair, Jerome Powell. From historical power struggles to current-day maneuvering by the president, they explore how monetary policy, interest rates, and central bank independence shape the economy- and your portfolio. With echoes of Nixon-era stagflation and Volcker’s radical reforms, this episode offers a compelling look at why the Fed matters more than ever.
