In Part One, we followed the money — from ancient temples to the secret meeting at Jekyll Island, where a handful of bankers drafted a plan that would change the world. Now, in Part Two, The Conspiracy Podcast dives into what happened after that plan became law — and how it gave birth to one of the most powerful and most misunderstood institutions in history: the Federal Reserve.

When the Federal Reserve Act passed in 1913, Americans had no idea how deeply it would shape their lives. A new hybrid system was born — part public, part private, run by twelve regional banks and a central board in Washington. It was designed to stop the boom-and-bust chaos that had plagued the country for decades. But to this day, people still ask the same question: Who really controls the Fed?

The boys break down how this quiet institution evolved from a crisis-fighting experiment into a global financial empire. From the Great Depression to World War II, from the gold standard to the postwar boom, the Fed’s fingerprints are everywhere — printing money, rescuing markets, and rewriting the rules of capitalism. They’ll unpack how the Fed gained near-godlike power to move markets with a single announcement, and why every decision behind closed doors ripples through every dollar in your pocket.

But this is The Conspiracy Podcast, and no story this big comes without shadows. Part Two dives into the darker theories — that the Fed is a private cartel of bankers pulling the strings behind the government; that the Rothschilds and Rockefellers still influence its policy; that the institution was designed not to stabilize America, but to enslave it in endless debt. From the myths of the Titanic murders to whispers about JFK’s silver-backed money, the conspiracies surrounding the Fed are as old as the Fed itself.

So, what’s the truth behind the “Creature from Jekyll Island”? Is the Federal Reserve a necessary guardian of modern finance… or a hidden hand controlling the world economy?

Sean, Jorge, and Eric crack open the vault and ask the question few dare to: who really runs the money machine?
