Watch Jerome Powell’s Face – He’d Rather Chew Broken Glass Than Listen to Maxine Waters

Ah, Maxine Waters. The gift that keeps on giving. If you ever wanted to see a live-action representation of a train wreck in slow motion, look no further than her questioning of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. And speaking of train wrecks, this one wasn’t quite as literal as the Utah SUV-smashing disaster we just covered (read here), but make no mistake—it was just as painful to watch.

Now, let’s be clear: I don’t always agree with Powell. He’s made some moves that have left conservatives scratching their heads, but compared to Waters? The guy might as well be Einstein sitting across from someone who just discovered fire. Watching him try to keep a straight face while she rambled through a list of nonsensical questions was peak political comedy.

A Spectacle of Intelligence vs. Political Idiocy

Maxine came out swinging, claiming that Trump wants to “do away” with the Federal Reserve altogether. Now, say what you want about Trump, but let’s not pretend Waters has a deep grasp on monetary policy. Or any policy, for that matter. The woman struggles to form coherent thoughts on basic economics, yet here she is trying to grill the Chairman of the Federal Reserve.

And oh, the concerns she has! Apparently, Trump and Elon Musk have somehow banded together to violate your privacy by… existing? Running companies? Living rent-free in her head? I swear, if you listen closely, you can hear the gears in Powell’s brain grinding as he wonders how he ended up in this absurd exchange.

At one point, she even suggested that Musk is somehow infiltrating the Fed and stealing financial data. Seriously. She asked Powell if he would “let Musk in” as if the Federal Reserve is some speakeasy with a bouncer at the door. Maybe she thinks Musk will roll up to the Fed and demand access to all our banking data while waving a Dogecoin logo in Powell’s face.

Powell’s response? A polite version of, Lady, what the hell are you talking about?

Waters’ DEI Obsession

Of course, no Maxine Waters hearing would be complete without a forced diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) moment. She pivoted—because why not?—to Powell’s hiring practices, asking if the Fed is bringing in enough “diverse talent.” Powell, being the polished professional he is, gave the standard corporate-approved answer about recruiting broadly.

Translation: Yes, we hire competent people. No, we don’t just pick names out of a hat based on their gender and skin color.

But in Waters’ world, competence takes a backseat to checking the right boxes. She practically begged Powell to agree that the most important thing the Fed can do right now is hire people based on identity politics rather than, you know, economic expertise. You could almost see Powell’s patience evaporating in real time.

Trump’s CBDC Ban and Waters’ Confusion

As the grand finale of her one-woman circus, Waters brought up Trump’s executive order banning central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). She dramatically warned that his definition was too broad and could have far-reaching consequences. Shocker: She didn’t actually explain what those consequences were. Just vague fear-mongering, per usual.

Powell, at this point likely dreaming of an emergency fire alarm going off, simply nodded and waited for the nightmare to end.

Final Thoughts

Maxine Waters trying to intellectually outmaneuver Jerome Powell is like a goldfish challenging a chess grandmaster. This wasn’t just a bad performance—it was a humiliating display of someone who has no business overseeing our financial system.

Powell may not be perfect, but watching him forced to sit through that level of idiocy? I actually felt bad for the guy. You could see it on his face—he would have rather been chewing broken shards of glass than answering her mind-numbing questions.

If this is the best the Democrats have for financial oversight, no wonder our economy is in shambles from the last 4 years.
