His legacy will be
00:00:02
what he's doing right now, which is
00:00:04
standing up for the independence of the
00:00:05
Federal Reserve. Look, presidents before
00:00:08
have
00:00:10
gone after the Fed,
00:00:11
right? But it's done privately. This is
00:00:14
a very public
00:00:16
attack on the Fed, including
00:00:19
legal action, and you know, at least
00:00:22
threatened legal action. This is
00:00:24
unprecedented. And the fact that Jay's
00:00:26
standing up for the institution is what
00:00:28
I think he'll be remembered for.
