## Resource

The episode argues that Jerome Powell's decision to remain a Fed governor and keep his vote through January 2028—breaking 78 years of precedent since Marriner Eccles—is a warning about Kevin Warsh's promised "regime change" at the Federal Reserve and growing political pressure on monetary policy. It connects this to historical parallels (the 1951 Treasury-Fed Accord and the Nixon–Burns era inflation) and claims JP Morgan's billionaire clients are shifting heavily into alternatives and underweighting the US dollar. The host outlines three suggested actions: move idle cash to high-yield savings, build defensive hedges (including precious metals and credit lines), or pursue inflation-arbitrage via fixed-rate leveraged rental real estate. The second half describes "exit tax" style policies targeting homeowners and movers in five states—New Jersey, Massachusetts, Washington, California, and New York—and says six more states are drafting similar measures.
