The Fed is Lying | The Coming Horrible Recession.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
well folks in my opinion the fed is
either panicking or lying to us about
the coming recession and the stock
market realizes it that's why stocks are
falling as the fed meeting once again
ends and once again bond yields are
rising with the 10-year now rising up to
3.45
now maybe that's just because uh you
know last year the fed spent the entire
year telling us that inflation was
transitory while the delta variant was
destroying our supply chains and we
printed even more money but don't worry
now any kind of recession is sure to be
transitory because after all the
consumer and markets are very strong
consider what the fed told us yesterday
the fed told us yesterday the consumer
is strong and the economy is doing very
well you look at this chart it's a chart
of consumer sentiment in the united
states being at 22 year lows it is
literally at the lowest point since the
dot-com bubble didn't even bother people
and it is not even as low as the 2008
recession that's right we are the lowest
point in the last 22 years on the chart
people are worried and they're worried
because they realize that not only do we
have the hottest inflation that we've
had in four decades but they realized
the fed
might not know what the hell they're
doing and so as you can see with
inflation we had a peak in march
followed by a decline in april which was
good
but unfortunately another higher peak in
may in terms of inflation and so while
jerome powell talks about strength we're
kind of scratching our heads going wait
a minute why then is inflation going the
wrong way and why is consumer sentiment
so
low and on top of that you've got the
u.s savings rate as a percentage of
personal disposable income at just 4.4
percent yet again another metric that is
at a low since
2008 where it was actually slightly
lower but also quite freaking low
and so
it does make you wonder why does the fed
jerome powell and their bodies why do
they all think that gdp is going to end
at 1.7 at the end of the year it doesn't
quite make sense
even the atlanta fed's gdp now tracking
indicator doesn't seem to agree with the
federal reserve themselves
the gdp now indicator went negative in
q1
and guess what we ended up having for
gdp in q1
a negative read
guess what the gdp
now data hit again today
negative we are once again
negative you can see it here on the
chart
now according to this chart on screen
if the gdp now chart is correct
we will fall into a recession because
after all two quarters of negative gdp
is a recession
and see the fed is telling us oh but
don't worry don't worry
we have no plans of inducing a recession
in fact they want to be very clear that
we have no plan to induce a recession
not trying to reduce induce a recession
now let's be clear about that we're
trying to achieve uh two percent
inflation consistent with a strong labor
market that's that's what we're trying
to do well the stock market doesn't
believe that the fed can avoid this and
the stock market knows that if we
compare all the way back to 1929 and all
the crashes that have happened since
1929
in times of a recession
at least with how mature we are in terms
of this crash now
we have at least two more large lows to
hit before we can actually say we've hit
bottom now if we don't have a recession
maybe we're already at the bottom the
markets aren't convinced that we're
going to be able to avoid a recession
especially as we get sledge hammered by
the federal reserve with a 75 basis
point hike now consider this
the federal reserve told us in may
that 75 basis points of an increase for
the fomc of federal funds rate was off
of the table
and yesterday what did we get 75 basis
point now
we believe this was leaked to the media
on monday via like a text or a phone
call because the fed was in their
blackout period and they wanted to kind
of prep the markets and so then they
prep the markets markets priced in the
75 and sure enough here's your 75.
that was after the cpi data showed a
meaningful and broad-based increase in
inflation data not a decrease and this
wasn't just certain categories it was
literally everything
and we saw a bump in consumer
expectations for inflation before the
cpi read even came out which means our
next read for consumer expectations for
inflation will probably be even worse
now powell of course says this was him
adapting
well markets aren't convinced that he's
done adapting
and even though yesterday jerome powell
promised that well i shouldn't say
promised but set the expectation that
quote
we do not expect moves of this size to
be common and that this is an unusually
large hike
the fed may have lost some credibility
because again here we are looking at
consumers and looking at the economy in
a much substantially weaker position
than what the fed seems to be telling us
about and so how can we believe that
they're going to be credible to say that
75 basis points are unusually large when
it's entirely possible in the july
meeting we could end up with a 75 or
even 100 basis point hike and that'll
just have to say well
we had to adapt
folks there's no cheering with the fed
until inflation actually starts coming
down but it gets worse because the
federal reserve changed its tune
a little bit on something else as well
but first folks i want to give you some
free options flow and data
that's because now we've partnered with

medken.com attendees to check them out
so
what's another reason that the fed is
freaking markets out right now well
yesterday we kind of brushed this off it
had to do with the federal reserve kind
of dropping their mention that they want
to keep a strong labor market the
market's finally realizing however now
and i kind of mentioned that this was
odd in my summary video yesterday market
is finally realizing that jay pal is
giving up on the dual mandate remember
maximum employment and stable prices
well we've got maximum employment in
fact we've got more than maximum
employment so jpr's kind of like yeah
that's not really our goal right now our
goal right now is just
inflation getting inflation down so we
don't really have a central bank
that has a dual mandate right now we
have a single mandate federal reserve
and that is to crush inflation and the
easiest way to crush inflation is by
destroying demand and quite frankly
inducing a recession even though japan
tells us don't worry that's not the goal
we know this is pretty much what it's
going to take and that's unfortunate and
that's what the market is pricing in now
now even if
the fed tells us
they want to see
you know
drops in cpi for them to relax on their
rate hike cycle
just a few months ago the federal
reserve was telling us you know we're
really just looking at the
month-over-month data and core cpi as
long as core cpi and the month over
month data comes down
okay maybe we could pause on our rate
hikes
well jerome powell once again
flip-flopped on this and now he's
telling us that no we actually want
headline inflation numbers to come down
sure core and month over month data
matters but we really want that core to
come down
this is really i'm sorry the headline
number to come down this is really bad
because if powell wants the headline
number to come down the only way to
achieve that is by
you know with monetary policy since we
can't really control commodities
and control supply the only way to
achieve that is with straight-up demand
destruction like folks if you are tired
of high oil prices and gas prices which
i'm sure you are in high energy prices
and the fed is as well and we want to
see that headline inflation go down
which is heavily driven by energy prices
and food prices bonding prices the only
way to drive that down is with straight
up demand destruction and the fed has to
get people to drive less spend less
money now california seems to have a
different opinion california seems to
think we should give everybody 400
so they can go buy more gas and continue
having demand so why drive less when you
could just get free money from the state
of california
oh freaking california
folks like it's so idiotic it's so
moronic i'm sorry i just had to take a
little tangent there to say that
but you know what the good news is the
good news is
we're kind of like tesla
in that
if you check out on the programs i'm
building your wealth down below
you know you're going to get the best
price because tesla just raised its
prices by about six thousand dollars
across the board for well i mean not for
every single model i think the model
three was up about twenty five hundred
dollars and the max price increase was
six thousand dollars for vehicles but
here you go elon musk again raising
prices
it's almost kind of like the best
investment so far this year is a car
like a tesla car and not actual tesla
stock which is quite ironic because
usually it's the opposite usually cars
go down in value but anyway
if you want to lock in the price of a
tesla you pre-order it now if you want
to lock in the price of amazing programs
on building your long-term wealth with
continued lectures and perspectives and
a ton of research coming to you via
beautifully put together lectures that
teach you how to fish rather than just
give you fish well check out the
program's link down below on building
your wealth make sure to use the coupon
code before the end of next week which
is next friday check it out all right
folks let's keep going over here with
the fed
see
the problem with the fed right now is
that the stock market is not just pissed
that the fed is you know dropping labor
from their arguments and focused on uh
inflation so heavily but it's that
the fed doesn't even realize that by
creating the well i'm sure they realize
but they're certainly not talking about
it but by creating the kind of demand
destruction that they need to get
inflation down we will maybe not have a
recession fine maybe they're right about
that but we'll have an earnings
recession which is just as bad if
anything it's actually worse for stocks
quite frankly i'd rather have a not
earnings recession and a regular
recession than have an earnings
recession
and uh well i'm confusing myself here
the point is i don't want an earnings
recession on stocks because then stocks
plummet you have a regular recession but
you still have earnings going up eps is
going up well maybe that's not that bad
because eps is strongly correlated with
long-term gains for stocks the problem
is stocks are just getting reamed and so
is the bond market i mean look at for
example peloton a stock that's already
down 90
now their bonds are selling for 70 cents
on the dollar revlon just filed for
bankruptcy and to add insult to injury
people are still raising prices
contributing to inflation yes that
includes tesla but folks it's not just
the united states germany just saw the
biggest increase in five-year yields
since 2011. the swiss national bank just
dropped a bombshell surprise of a 50
basis point hike nobody was expecting
that the ecb just had an emergency
meeting where they're planning on
announcing a new tool to announce or you
know something to basically help deal
with surging bond yields because they
realize the bond market's collapsing
they also
had the following to say which was not
good they said quote inflation
may end up being more entrenched than we
think and sentiment is worsening
great last thing we want is central
banks telling us uh maybe inflation's
more entrenched than we thought it was
on top of that the bank of england is
expected to hike rates today the uh
reserve bank of australia is signaling a
period of substantial rate increases
ahead
but folks don't worry we won't be
hearing a lot from the fed for a while
right
we should be good i mean we just had the
fed meeting right wrong the fed speak
calendar is back
so i've got it written down let's see
here fed speak calendar powell talks at
a conference tomorrow on saturday waller
speaks on tuesday mester and barkinspeak
on wednesday powell speaks in the senate
and evans barkin and hardest being
then on thursday powell speaks before
the house
oh my gosh
i kind of like the blackout period
better because this is a disaster but
then again maybe ben bernanke was right
the federal reserve thinks that monetary
policy is 98 talk and 2 action and folks
this is all a complete disaster and the
fed is in my opinion either just
panicking
entirely wrong
about the strength of the markets or the
economy
or they're just straight up lying to us
because that summary of economic
projections sure was a revision
but it wasn't a real revision
