Richard Werner Exposes the Evils of the Fed & the Link Between Banking, War, and the CIA Jul 28, 2025 The Tucker Carlson Show
World-renowned economist Richard Werner on where money comes from: banks just create it out of thin air, and keep a pile for themselves.
In this wide-ranging interview, Tucker Carlson sits down with economist Richard Werner to discuss his groundbreaking research into banking, money creation, and the systemic control exercised by central banks.
Key takeaways include:
- The Mechanics of Money Creation: Werner explains that commercial banks, not just central banks, create the majority of the money supply in an economy by issuing loans, effectively creating money out of thin air (14:16-24:09). He argues that this power, if misdirected, leads to asset bubbles and financial instability rather than productive economic growth.
- The Japanese Financial Crisis: Drawing on his time as a consultant in Japan during the 1990s, Werner details how he predicted the Japanese financial collapse. His book, Princes of the Yen, reveals how the Bank of Japan—often with external encouragement—deliberately orchestrated a recession to force structural changes and foreign investment (0:00-1:03; 1:33:11-1:35:42).
- The Role of Central Banks and the CIA: Werner recounts his experiences after publishing his findings, including being blacklisted by the media, monitored by the CIA, and largely silenced in the Western press (1:35:42-1:47:24). He discusses how central banks maintain a “facade” to prevent the public from understanding how credit allocation is used to control economies and, in some cases, to facilitate debt traps for developing nations (2:29:49-2:35:34).
- The Danger of CBDCs: Werner warns that Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) represents a sinister step toward total control, as it offers the technology for instant, programmable compliance, effectively turning money into a tool for social engineering and surveillance (2:35:34-2:40:19).
