00:00Shame on him. He is too smug, too self-absorbed, and too economically illiterate to know anything.
00:08Paul says that the Fed must stay above politics and the politics cannot get enmeshed into the Fed.
00:14I have become very frustrated with the Fed for refusing to do an internal investigation.
00:22I think all of this could have been avoided. I have been calling for an internal investigation
00:26at the Fed since last summer, and even before that. So there are two things at stake here.
00:35One, does the president have the authority to remove Governor Cook for alleged malfeasance?
00:43Two, did Governor Cook commit mortgage fraud? I am not sure why Chair Powell would go and support
00:53Governor Cook when the Fed has not undertaken an examination of whether she did in fact commit
01:00mortgage fraud. If she did, she is stealing from the American people every day because she has a GSE-backed
01:09mortgage. And as I've said before, it is very unfortunate that on Chair Powell's watch, we will
01:15have seen between four and six governors and bank presidents have to step down for ethical lapses.
01:23Now, four to six may not seem like much. That is out of 19. I can tell you, as someone who was on Wall
01:30Street, if you were the leader of a Wall Street firm, you would have a failure to supervise problem.
01:37So again, I think that his sitting in the front row of the Supreme Court is a political statement. And I agree
01:46with him. The Fed should not be politicized. He is politicizing the Fed. I went in my capacity as a
01:52political employee in the Trump administration.
01:56Governor calls you smug? Are you smug?
01:58Yeah, you know, I think it's I think it's very, very ironic that, you know, Governor Newsom, who strikes me as
02:09Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken, may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris.
02:16He's here this week with his billionaire sugar daddy, Alex Soros. And the Davos is a perfect place for a man who
02:28sees this during the pandemic to his children. And he's saying that for instance, when everyone else was on lockdown, when he was having people arrested for going to church, he was having $1,000 a night meals at the French Laundry. And I'm sure the California people won't forget that.
02:47to crack down on waste, fraud and abuse.
02:51And I was told he was asked to give a speech on his signature policies, but he's not speaking
02:58because one of his economic policies brought outward migration from California, a gigantic
03:04budget deficit, the largest homeless population in America and the poor folks in the Palisades
03:11who had their homes burned down, he is here hobnobbing with the global elite while his
03:19California citizens are still homeless.
03:22Shame on him.
03:23He is too smug, too self-absorbed and too economically illiterate to know anything.
03:30Thank you very much.
03:32Let me know if you need any further clarification.
03:36And that goes for all of you, if you need any more clarification on that.
03:40Next question, please, gentlemen, second row with glasses, name and outlet, please.
03:45Good morning, Jamie Keaton, Associated Press.
03:47Thank you, Secretary, for coming to see us again.
03:50Yesterday the S&P 500 dropped more than 2 percent, gold and silver hit new highs, and the European
03:55Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that U.S. tariffs over Greenland were
04:02a mistake.
04:03President Macron has mentioned the use of the EU's anti-coercion measures.
04:11All after you said, as you've said this morning as well, that people need to take a breath over
04:16this situation.
04:18What conversations have you had with EU and other counterparts to help stabilize markets
04:24and to help convince them to take a breath?
04:27And I'd just like to add, how concerned are you that institutional investors in Europe may
04:33be pulling out of treasuries, such as from pension funds in Denmark and elsewhere?
04:37Well, the size of Denmark's investment in U.S. Treasury bonds, like Denmark itself, is irrelevant.
04:47That is less than $100 million.
04:49They've been selling treasuries for years.
04:52I'm not concerned at all.
04:54Again, as Treasury Secretary, I see our Treasury auctions.
04:58We've had record foreign investment.
05:01And also, as I said yesterday, I think it is very difficult to disaggregate any of the
05:09noise around Greenland, around these inflammatory statements by President Macron, by President
05:16van der Leyen from what we have seen in the Japanese bond markets.
05:23We saw a sixth standard deviation move in Japanese bonds, which has spilled over to other markets.
05:30And I've been in touch with my Japanese economic colleagues, and I'm assured that they will take
05:36measures to stabilize that market.
05:39And just so everyone knows that this notion that Europeans would be selling U.S. assets came
05:48from a single analyst at Deutsche Bank.
05:51Of course, the fake news media, led by the Financial Times, amplified it.
05:57And the CEO of Deutsche Bank called to say that Deutsche Bank does not stand by that analyst's
06:03report.
06:04No comment, no contact related to the Canadian officials at all?
06:09I'm waiting for President Trump to arrive, and that will be done at his level.
06:13Great.
06:15Let's take the next question, please.
06:16We'll move to this side of the room.
06:17Sir, right here, name and outlet, please.
06:21Thank you very much.
06:22Stephan Lanz, biggest.
