Exposing the Fed's Secret Blueprint | "The Great Reset."
FULL TRANSCRIPT
what would you say if I told you we have
played this movie before we have seen
the fear of a budget deficit resurging
inflation and recession all at the same
time before and what do you think the
Federal Reserve did in the face of those
fears what would you think if I told you
they laughed them off or what would you
think if I told you they embraced them
and took us into recession but one of
those is exactly what happened and
today's video is inspired by trying to
figure out what the heck is going on
with our economy because frankly there
is a lot of fear that inflation may be
trending back up that's what keeps a lot
of economists up at night now In
fairness economists aren't exactly the
best at making predictions as we saw
from Paul Krugman here from The New York
Times which some people love other
people hate but he makes a very accurate
Point by suggesting that in September of
2022 when markets had a real heart
attack after Jackson Hole and markets
ended up hitting their lows we ended up
having economists predict that we have
some of the scariest times ahead that in
order to get inflation down to 2% quote
we may need to tolerate employment of
6.5% for 2 years mind you we're
essentially at half of that unemployment
rate and so as is usual economists and
forecasters aren't really good at
figuring out exactly what is going to
happen and this comes as Dr Powell just
this morning says intellectual rigor has
to be combined with flexibility and
Agility even with state-of-the-art
models and even in relatively calm times
the economy frequently surprises us but
our economy is flexible and dynamic
damic and subject to unpredictable
shocks and so as forecasters we have to
think outside the models says drum
Powell at times forecasters have to
think outside the models now this is
really interesting because what we've
just set up is there's fear of inflation
economists were very dreary last year
about what it would take inflation to go
away just like economists many of them
are very dreary today about what it
would take inflation to go down you've
got expectations that inflation may be
turning back up in fact here's your
multivariant core trend for inflation as
you could see in the rate of inflation
has sort of bottomed out around this
summer but it's started to Trend back up
again this is for core now we could even
jump in here and grab Services X housing
removing some of that housing
disinflation that hopefully is coming in
the way of uh or stabilizing rents but
anyway uh as you can see here also a
slight inflection up and so this really
got me thinking man okay well is there a
historical precedent for these levels of
inflation and what I did is I decided
Well let's zoom out and look at history
and what we find is when we look at
Services inflation or the more
normalized line the multivariant core
inflation it's lumpy inflation goes up
and down it doesn't go straight down in
a straight line when it goes down it
could go down it could come up again it
could go down it's a little fussy the
long-term Trend since the late since the
early 80s late 70s has of course been
what the FED has since termed
opportunistic disinflation now that's
really important because it gives us an
idea of where we are today and then
we're going to compare back to when this
movie played the last time and the
reason I bring up opportunistic
disinflation this idea that hey we can
slowly be patient in letting inflation
get to 2% which was what was done after
Paul vuler in the early 80s raised rates
to those Peaks well what do we have just
yesterday in the in an interview with
the Wall Street Journal Neil kashari
tells us under tightening will not get
us back to 2% in reasonable time now
this is really interesting because it's
one of the first times we've actually
heard the Federal Reserve talk about
time how long is it going to take to get
to 2% and what are we okay with well
according to history we are okay with
waiting 20 certainly 10 years to get
inflation down over time and so what I
thought is okay let's go back to since
we just raised rates
55% let's go back to what the Federal
Reserve was saying after rates
skyrocketed in the Paul vulker era Paul
vulker was the chairperson of the
Federal Reserve erve until about
1987 so you'll actually have a lot more
that Paul vulker did and a lot more
commentary that came from Paul vulker
after his impressive action of finally
putting the fed's pants on raising rates
to break the back of people's inflation
expectations but it wasn't that easy see
even though Paul vulker raised rates to
nearly 20% to crush inflation there was
doubt there were people calling for
recession
and unmanageable budget deficits and
uncertainty of an inflation rebound that
could drive us into a deep dirty
recession which is eerily similar to
exactly what we're hearing today today
it is quite precisely what we are
hearing geopolitics fiscal deficits
uncontrolled inflation going into
recession now how interesting to see how
Paul vulker responded to somebody saying
exact ex actly this and then I'll tell
you right when and what happened next
ready for this buckle up it's a good one
keep in mind this Friday the prices will
be going up on the new vers Pro crash
courses this will be the last chance to
grab them while they're under $100 and
in pre-sale we expect before the end of
the year by the end of the year the
prices will probably be about twice what
they are now if not even a little bit
more so check those out by going to
meetkevin.com they're really great
courses on perspectives for building
your long-term wealth making more money
as an entrepreneur or otherwise take a
look at those okay here we
go one question we haven't talked about
is how much inflation we're likely to
get before the cycle is over oo talking
about the cycle coming to an end right
let's just read it the way it's written
though so Kevin keep the commentary to a
little keep going here if we're ever
going to get back to price stability we
have to keep ratcheting down the peaks
of inflation from cycle to cycle look at
this this Ang this fear of if if we're
ever going to get the markets to believe
again that we could actually get
long-term inflation to come down we must
continue to ratchet rates higher to push
inflation down and to break that
fear remember inflation is as much a
reality of prices going up as it is
individuals feeling that prices are
going to keep going up driving them to
by now causing more inflation see
inflation is vastly self-fulfilling it's
all based on our expectations and then
we self- fulfill them so you have to
break inflation
expectations so let's keep listening to
this person here as I look at this all
expansions come to an end because of
some excesses somewhere we've pointed
out a couple the budget deficit the
trade balance and there may be others
but it seems to me that the two excesses
that we have our telescopes on are the
kind that are likely to push up interest
rates fairly sharply once they go and we
have a recovery it seems that is
operating near a margin of interest
rates that could turn the whole recovery
soft fairly easily this is a way of
saying like Hey we're about to break
something and you know our recovery
could turn into recession really quickly
that's the mortgage Market automobiles
Market Consumer Electronic sector by the
end of 1985 this recovery will be only 3
years old and as we get into 1986 we'll
be 4 years old the question is will the
excesses trigger a recession before
inflation jumps above the previous Peak
now this is pretty bearish right this is
very inflation bearish and sounds eerily
similar to some of the pain that we're
hearing about today and I want you to
hear Paul vr's response and then I want
you to see what the FED did next so in
case it hasn't been obvious yet this is
actually from January of of
1984 1984 this is just 2 years after we
saw some of the highest interest rates
from the federal reserves in the last 40
years and what was Paul vul's response
chairman vulker because you have the
happy Prospect of another
recession in other words Paul vulker
laughed off this person's inflationary
concerns by suggesting the only reason
he might think we might not end up
getting higher inflation is because
we're about to go into a deep recession
which in case you haven't been caught up
with what the Bears think that is
exactly what a lot of bears in the
market today think and respectfully it's
a good argument then maybe the argument
isn't sustained long-term inflation it's
actually that something's going to break
and the economy is going to collapse so
the question is twofold one what what
did the stock market do and two what did
the Federal Reserve do both of those
very very interesting one way to look at
that with these balloons in my face is
to look at CPI and the FED funds rate
and then we can look at the Dow Jones
Industrial so over here 1984 January of
1984 the Federal Reserve was right here
they ended up raising rates a little bit
more as you could see here they were
still on sort of this slight upward
trend of uh increasing interest rates
and what we noticed is that inflation
slowly moderated this is a core CPI here
somewhere between that 4 to 3% level it
went up again a little bit to about 4
and a half and it really took about the
91 paino recession here to really Drive
inflation down for the next 10 to 20
years and that's really what we saw here
is this 40 40e path of inflation coming
down but this isn't too interesting this
isn't too interesting no Pon intended of
a chart to look at what's more
interesting is to look at how did the
stock market react because the bearish
arguments sounded very similar then as
they do today that there were fears
about inflation not going away and take
a look at what the stock market did
here's the Dow Jones Industrial Average
you're going to mind that the biggest
pain Point came right here during the
vulker era that these are the 70s which
was a quite painful decade and then here
we had sort of the double recessions of
the early 80s you can see this right
here is yourt bubble this is your
1991 recession and again here are the
early 80s now because it might not be
particular ly clear I want you to see
that on a chart here where when I move
my mouse you could verify this indeed is
1982 81 right around here where the
stock market bottom and this bearish
fear was actually made right about here
sort of in this midpoint volatility
which is quite interesting because we've
seen our Market plummet in
20122 recover in 2023 and have a little
bit of a hiccup here in the last few
months and the Bears are very fearful
about the reality of a recession we've
seen the Atlanta fed now real GDP
estimate drop below 1% last week
although it was revised up to above 2%
again here but folks what happened after
that era and what did it somewhat
symbolize in terms of uh a pattern well
if I could ask you to look at this chart
very closely do you see any shape that
pops up
huh that's quite interesting now why
would that occur over the next 20 to 30
years despite the fact that you had a
painful recession here a painful
recession here in 2001 this would be so
your 91 your 2001 your bubble I mean
remember folks in some cases here it
took 14 years for your stocks to come
back to the same value that they were at
the top of theom bubble right
so what made the stock market Trend in
this direction where it fell under
inflation fears and then slowly started
rising in the shape of this uh check
mark at first in ' 84 during these
periods of uncertainty the Federal
Reserve continued to raise rates a bit
but did start trending towards a
maintain bias wait and see which is also
exactly what the Federal Reserve sounds
like it it's doing now and you know what
came after
1984
1985 and you know what commentary
changed to from 1984's bare uncertainty
of oh no we might go into a recession
and we don't know how long inflation is
going to last and we don't know if
inflation is going to pop back up and we
don't know what's going to happen with
inflation we are fearful do you know
what happened do you know what
chairperson vul's words were directly
from his mouth via this piece of
paper they were there have been a lot of
comments about a speculative feeling
about whether people are taking on
excessive debt and whether levels of the
uh Dow Jones Industrial at 1,500 or
sustainable
levels and do you know what Paul vul's
explanation for this was by
85 it was the following quote I think
it's partially because people people
have changed their views on inflation
which is
constructive and I wouldn't want to
undermine that now that's really
interesting because obviously if there
is a constructive change in the
Viewpoint of inflation it means that
people's expectations of inflation are
lowering they're falling people think
inflation is no longer the problem that
it used to be when that sort of calmness
happens
financial markets Nike Swoosh recover
that is you get the most painful
drop before you get the long-term swoosh
up because of inflation fears being at
Peak and as those fears slowly and I'm
not talking over months I'm talking over
years as those inflation fears finally
go away over years despite the shouting
bear
and the eventuality that we will have
other recessions the stock market
continued to Prevail so what's the big
bottom line takeaway from this video
well the big bottom line is simple we
have actually seen this movie before we
went from unanchored inflation
expectations a fear that we were going
to have wheelbarrows of money becoming
the wymer Republic fears that because we
left the gold standard and there was
geopolitical turmoil and an oil crisis
and fiscal deficits and trade deficits
and drama because of those
fears combined with high inflation we
ended up getting a stock market that
fell for nearly
15 years think about that folks 15 years
of pain as we are fighting inflation we
have this bizarre privilege of being
able to look at at what happened after
inflation was conquered after the pull
vulker and put all of the subsequent
crashes into perspective and even if you
go as far as normalizing the chart to
get a more logarithmic chart for the Dow
Jones Industrial you could still see
that the low in essentially the last 100
years with the exception of briefly here
in the Great Depression
was the pul
valkering the rapid increase in interest
rates and as inflation expectations
faded everything ended up being just all
right so it turns out the great reset
was less of a great reset of
everyone so it turns out the prior fed
blueprint of a great reset wasn't so
much resetting everybody's wealth it was
resetting inflation
expectations and as those expectations
fell stocks and asset values Rose why
not advertise these things that you told
us here I feel like nobody else knows
about this we'll we'll try a little
advertising and see how it goes
congratulations man you have done so
much people love you people look up to
you Kevin PA there financial analyst and
YouTuber meet Kevin always great to get
