OMG: Fed principal economist reveals Jerome Powell wants to be remembered as ‘somebody who held the line’ against Trump

The video released by OMG shows an undercover interview with Aurel Hizmo, Principal Economist at the Federal Reserve. Hizmo was previously an Assistant Professor at New York University and received his Ph.D. in Economics from Duke, and claims to write speeches for Powell.

Hizmo admitted to an undercover reporter that the Federal Reserve does more than its duty of managing national monetary policy and maintaining financial stability for the country. Additionally, the Federal Reserve has been setting policies to achieve desired social outcomes.

“Under Powell, the Fed has changed to think about equity issues, like racial issues, think about wealth inequality as part of the mandate, as part of the things we are following. Think about climate change,” Hizmo explained.

Furthermore, Hizmo revealed that Powell promotes issues like climate change because he “wants to be remembered in history” as a ”savior.”

The Federal Reserve employee went on to call former President Trump a “crazy person” and labeled conservatives as “dumb.” When asked if conservative employees would be discriminated against at the Federal Reserve, Hizmo stated it would depend on how "out there" they are.

"We don't want Trump to be in the government," Hizmo added.

After making these comments, Hizmo stated, “I’m just really worried that I’m saying stuff that’s classified…It’s all classified."
