About this episode
The episode discusses the confirmation of Kevin Warsh as Fed chairman and various political issues including gerrymandering and economic policies.
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Senator Elizabeth Warren, the ranking Democrat on the banking committee that is overseeing his confirmation, said Kevin Warsh would be little more as Fed chairman than Trump's "sock puppet". Trump has suggested that, if confirmed, Warsh would conform to his agenda and lower interest rates, which the president argues is necessary to boost the US economy. The former Fed governor said the independence of America's central bank "is essential" and vowed that he would be committed to preserving its self-governance. Also redistricting in Texas and gerrymandering in Virginia, audio from CBS on a mayor in Kansas defying state voter laws, audio from Senator John Thune on the Republican's plan on funding DHS and a NY Post article on California residents fleeing the state and heading to Texas over elevated property taxes and a widening affordability gap.
