Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary shared an Instagram clip on April 22, 2025, discussing the China deal, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, United States Senator Elizabeth Warren, and more. He reacted to the senator's views that President Trump won't fire Jerome Powell.

Agreeing with the United States Senator Elizabeth Warren, the Shark Tank mentor stated that, if Jerome Powell were to be fired by the President, it would "crash" the markets. Kevin O'Leary further stated that everyone needs to look for the "signal" and not the noise. He said that the focus should be on the "China" deal.

"Trump's not going to fire him. This too will pass. Look for the signal, not the noise. This too will pass. That's the China deal that we're focused on now. Let's get XI and Trump together. I don't care where, but I don't think it will last more than another 30, 40 days. That's it. We've got to get this deal done," said Kevin O'Leary.

The Instagram clip from Kevin O'Leary, from the News Nation, features United States Senator Elizabeth Warren sharing her views about Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. As she said, Powell could not be fired, because if the President fired him, then it would cause a "crash" in the markets.

When the News Nation anchor asked Kevin O'Leary to share his views on Elizabeth Warren's statement, he said he agreed with the senator.

"Yeah, she's right. But I love Elizabeth Warren. She raises five to 20 bucks at a time by saying outrageous stuff. She and AOC are the best marketeers of any of them. She's fantastic. I don't agree with her policies, but I respect her. I respect. But that sound bite was correct. You don't want to whack the Fed. That's a really bad idea," he added.

Further, the Shark Tank investor said that the Fed and executives need to work together. He also said that markets want an "independent" Fed. Additionally, he said that "the whole world" wanted an independent Fed. The reason was that the Fed "maintains" the debt market.

"You got to remember, you don't want those bonds going wonky. Powell's been great," shared the Shark Tank mentor.

Kevin O'Leary said that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell won't be fired, and that the circumstances that arose "will pass." Amid various issues, he urged everyone to look for the "signal" and avoid the "noise." He referred to the China deal as the signal and everything else as the "noise."

He discussed getting Chinese President Xi Jinping and American President Donald Trump together. He said such circumstances around the deal won't last more than 30-40 days.
