Kevin Warsh says he wants to shrink the Fed’s balance sheet, normalize monetary policy, and restore credibility.
But with the U.S. buried in debt and global bond markets already bracing for severe inflation, Alan explains why that plan may be dead on arrival. In this video, GoldSilver breaks down what Warsh says he wants to do, what the markets are already pricing in instead, and why all of it matters for gold.
You’ll learn:
Why shrinking the Fed balance sheet may actually push yields higher
Why fiscal dominance means the Fed has far less freedom than it used to
Why markets are pricing in higher rates, not lower ones
Why changing the inflation gauge looks more like a workaround than a solution
Why gold and silver remain the simplest protection against inflation

Reynolds American drops $5 million on April 30 for total $8 million to MAGA Inc. then scores FDA shelf space boost
Reynolds American (through a subsidiary) donated $5 million to the Trump-backed super PAC MAGA Inc. on April 30. That brought their total contributions to the PAC to $8 million. About a week later, the FDA issued new guidance that eases the path for flavored vapes from authorized U.S. companies like Reynolds (makers of Vuse). This move targets illegal foreign vapes while opening more shelf space for domestic flavored products, which could be worth millions in new sales. Two days after the donation, Reynolds executives and lobbyists met with Trump at his Florida golf club to push on vaping rules. The White House says the FDA decision is based on science and helping adult smokers switch from cigarettes. Critics call the timing suspicious and have labeled it pay-to-play. FDA Commissioner Marty Makary reportedly resigned shortly after over concerns about youth vaping.

Trump Posts Article Laying Out: "Here's How To Crush Tehran In Three Moves"
Here are the three:
Sustain the blockade and accompanying economic warfare to destabilize the regime’s hold on the state;
Remake the world in America's energy dominance image to mitigate long-term price impacts while undermining China's global ambition to defeat the United States;
Order the US military to forge a path through the Strait of Hormuz to restore freedom of navigation on our terms not Tehran’s.
...if only simply ordering a military "path through" was that easy!

Israeli soldiers testify to systemic looting in southern Lebanon
Soldiers from different units say looting Lebanese homes and businesses has become their 'unofficial mission'
Five soldiers from different backgrounds gave testimonies of a battlefield culture akin to a “Viking army,” where discipline gives way to moral disintegration, and a lawless environment in which officers turn the other cheek more often than not.
“For most of the senior commanders, it did not matter. Soldiers looted even when the brigade commander came to visit, and he turned a blind eye,” one soldier testified.
Soldiers described the war on Lebanon as having a hidden objective, that of collecting spoils and exacting revenge on the citizens of Lebanon.
The “unofficial mission,” as one soldier put it, was “to take out all the loot. To unload all the spoils at the outpost where the headquarters sat, so it would be waiting for the soldiers when they went home.”
Soldiers emptied stores of goods, including food, cigarettes, cleaning supplies, and stationery, with items also taken for personal use.
