Ep 32 [3/3]: Joe Firestone, Graham Elwood, and the truth about the Federal Reserve

Welcome to episode 32 of Activist #MMT. Today is part three of a special three-part episode with Joe Firestone and Graham Elwood. In this final part, you will hear the full audio from my latest appearance on progressive video journalist and stand up comedian, Graham Elwood's YouTube show, where I apply the lessons that Joe assisted me with in parts one and two. Specifically, Graham and I discuss the truth about the Federal Reserve and its two major roles in creating money for the US federal government. A link to the full video, plus transcript, resource links, and the full slide deck, can be found in the show notes. A full introduction to this three-part episode can be found before part one. Enjoy.
