Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose Trump’s threats to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, revealing how this unconstitutional power grab would trigger economic catastrophe. They break down the 1935 Supreme Court case Humphrey’s Executor, which prohibits presidents from firing independent agency heads over policy disagreements, and explain how a recent 2025 Supreme Court decision specifically protected Federal independence. The hosts reveal the cruel irony that Trump originally appointed Powell but now waves around a dismissal letter he’s too cowardly to send, proving he knows it’s illegal. They examine how Trump’s short-term political calculus would sacrifice America’s economic future to manipulate interest rates for midterm gains, leaving working families to pay the price when markets inevitably crash. A critical look at how one man’s authoritarian impulses threaten the foundational independence of the Federal Reserve.
