but is he going to live to regret those words, steve moore?, look, i don't think -- i think the most important function of our government is to secure our border and to make sure that we have a military that ensures our national security. i think it's reassuring that we have a president who says, look, i'll go to the mat on those things. i will fight, you know, my political opponents on this to make sure that we do have enough funding for the military and we do have funding for border security. now, look -- >> i interject again, just to make the point because i'm not going to let that go. border security and a wall are not necessarily the same thing. i know your job is to try to conflate it but i just can't let it go. >> erin, i promise, every single political rally that donald trump had from the day he first started running for president, he said, i'm going to build the wall. if he has a -- >> yes, and mexico was going to pay for it. >> if donald trump is known for anything, it's building the wall. >> april, is that what this is about, ultima

we have kristina partisnevelos and steve moore. the day before expected to hike interest rates, president trump is keeping the pressure on by tweeting, quote, i hope the people at the fed will read today's "wall street journal" editorial before they make yet another mistake. also, don't let the market become any more liquid than the dirtiest. feel the market, don't just go by meaningless numbers. good luck. i love that little tag line. this is "the wall street journal" editorial board op-ed talking about it and titled time for the fed to take a pause. make it in a cause against a rate hike tomorrow. well, it may not be what presidents usually do, but folks, it's trump right about interest rates? what do you think? >> no question about it. you and i both work for the editorial board and it's been kind of hawkish. it's at least my way of thinking and donald translated thinking that the fed has been way too tight. they made a major blunder three months ago craziness rate that cause deflation in commodity prices and i will say at the r

that's not the same as growth in the real economy. >> okay, steve moore -- thank you for that spirited've always got to get that final word in there. >> happy 2019! >> happy 2019. thank you both. appreciate it. >> see you. >>> as if president trump doesn't have enough issues with russia, now a new one. an american arrested in moscow, and the timing couldn't be more suspicious. into lowering your u put very high triglycerides with diet and exercise deserves the hard work that went into the science behind vascepa. prescription vascepa. vascepa, along with diet and exercise, has proven results in multiple clinical trials. vascepa looks different because it is different. over a decade of extensive research and development achieved proven results. that's the prescription power of vascepa. vascepa is not right for everyone. do not take vascepa if you are allergic to icosapent ethyl or any inactive ingredient in vascepa. tell your doctor if you are allergic to fish, have liver problems or other medical conditions and about any medications you take, especially those that may affect blood clott

i want to bring in economist, and steve moore, he's the chief economist with a heritage foundation is author of the book, trump anon ims there it is on your screen i know steve you dismissed talk of recession any time soon but federal reserve says economy is slowing and gdp numbers show same thing. the market is tumbling in part because of what is e clearly a slowing down investors disappointed your response. >> well, it's pretty rich for the fed to say that economy is slowing down because i think actually they've been a big part of the slowdown. by the way what we're talking about on the slowdown is economy over the last six months has grown at a little under 4%. and right now the latest forecast is for the fourth quarter to be somewhere in the two and a half percent range is that a slowdown from -- >> rate of -- it is a disappointment steve when you came out with with those tax cuts you were telling us consistently that we would get 4% growth we got 4% growth in one quarter. you've got to -- this is a slowdown slow down in rate of growth. >> when you go from 4 to 2 and a half percen

i agree with my friend steve moore. i think the fed erred badly. if anything, deflation, complete lack of inflation seems to be the risk globally right now but i think president trump who i greatly support made a mistake by publicly calling him out. he effectively put him verbally in a corner and dared him to raise rates. in that situation, powell has to try to defend the institutional integrity of the fed and much encourage quiet conversations rather than public ones on twitter when it comes to persuade the fed to slow down. >> as a supporter of the president, as a supporter of his or somebody who agrees with his frustration with the fed, do you think powell should potentially be fired? >> not at this point. but listen, this is a president who likes to fire people. who's very demanding of his subordinates and i think it's okay to put him on notice to say, i think you made a very serious mistake that's been costly for this country and let's talk about policy going forward. >> isn't that helping to shape the markets? i mean, now, it's up 470 but i t

joining me now is alison kosik, and steve moore, former economic adviser to president trump and seniortephen, how do you explain this? the president talking about firing the federal reserve chairman and clearly the marks didn't like that and then the strange call from the treasury secretary from his vacation in cabo trying to get the banks to assure him and the country they have enough money to lend which, of course, got people thinking maybe they have negative information that you and i don't have. what's happening here? >> hi, jim. well, first of all, i would say that i do believe that the problem has been what the fed did, not the president calling them out on this and in fact, since the fed made its rate change last week the dow has been down several thousand points and the president was quite correct saying don't raise rates. lower them. the fed's job is not to keep the stock market up and the fed's job is to control inflation and it's -- >> exactly. they've been doing that for the last year. >> yeah. no, actually, we have deflation rate now. if you look at what's happened with co

steve moore, i am wondering if the markets are paying close attention to what the president is saying and doing? >> sure. let's not forget the market is up 20% since trump was elected, so he has been good for investors. there's turmoil, and by the way, i think you will see more volatility over the next couple of months. i think the biggest factor of all is clearly what the latest, you know, developments in the trade war with china, because that's got huge implications for the global economy. the fed did make a major mistake a week and a half ago, and i think trump was very right to call them out and say this -- >> in calling them out, though, steven, we saw a 1,000-plus point drop. >> let's get the chronology straight here. the drop in the stock market, the severe contraction began the moment that powell opened his mouth in the press conference and started to -- >> that's not true. >> yes, it was. it went down 700 points during his speech. >> they have been going down since september. >> yeah, both rate hikes were unnecessary and caused a deflation in the economy. >> i want to stop yo

. >> veronique: it's my pleasure to be here today with steve moore, to talk about his new book called "trumponomics," it's a book he co-authored with arthur laffer. steve, i don't think you need introduction to anyone who's worked in washington, d.c. since not everyone is from here you are a distinguished fellow at the heritage foundation but you have been pretty much everywhere. you've been at the cato institute, you've started a club for growth, and in which year was that? >> stephen: it was around 1999. >> veronique: until 2004. you are a contributor at cnn, a regular -- on fox before. you've been everywhere, and. >> stephen: i'm everywhere too. >> veronique: your co-author arthur laffer if you are in the world of taxes everyone knew of the laugher curve, he was a reagan economist, and the president of laffer associates. so it's my pleasure to be here to talk with you today. you and the head of the counsel of economic advisers kevin hasett you are in my opinion the happiest warrior in the free market. i agree. i believe they belong to that club too but you are this really happy war

stuart: let's go with what steve moore was saying.e or red china. president trump really wants it. the chinese catholic go without a trade deal. what happens to the market if we do indeed get the trade deal? >> i think the market rallies, but i've lead a somewhat short-term because as this is drawn this is drawnout, the market has started again psychologically to find other problems. maybe a slowing economy. i know you guys pointed out the 3% gdp rate we may see for fourth quarter. the market just feels like it's starting to to concentrate on other to concentrate another weakness is the benefit of the greatness of the china deal. the point was well taken. it's a good short-term deal that plays this one for the long-term and that something as s&p 500. that's what you have to keep your eye on here. not so much the next couple months but the next couple years. stuart: most of our viewers are long-term investors and a lot of them might want to consider taking advantage. we'll see how it goes. thank you very much, sir. good stuff. as you k

[booing] >> well, i think it's when whoopee goldberg said, what is the deep state? and who is in charge? and that is i think when the feels fell off the wagon. this first segment was pretty good but the second was not to good. ...

the right mechanism, the fed has to get more dollar likt liquidity o the market >> $3.9 trillion, steve mooreh tax cuts, deregulation policy, america is a great place to invest in people want dollars. and the fed isn't providing it now, i'm not so sure that lowering the fed fund rate to zero is the right way to do that but i'm just saying when i see those commodities have fallen by 10% to 15% since the last fed move, steve, i'm calling that deflation. not inflation. i think they're following a boogeyman there. that's my view. >> when you talk oil at 49, that's the supply. >> but look. it's not just oil. look at all the commodities that are down >> transports. there's a lot of weird stuff happening. you think we're slowing down, steve? this almost looks like the negative of this being a keynesian sugar high from the tax cut rather than a permanent -- >> there's no sugar high >> but that's what people that hope there was a sugar high is -- >> it's a reality of the situation. >> look deep into your real feelings, andrew. >> let me make a couple points here first of all, the reason the economy is

bush it's good to see you, greg you're taking on the laffer and steve moore book pretty scathing of atenets of that book. was more of the approach is to a single issue, the level of taxation when were you with -- 2003 to 2005, is that when you were with bush >> yes, absolutely >> all right did you come in and try to prevent the bush tax cuts from happening? because some of them are 2003, right? >> i'm not opposed to lower taxes. i think there are some good aspects to the tax reform. what i think laffer and moore do is make this seem like a panacea. like it's the solution to all our problems that doesn't mean we can ignore all the other problems like the long-term fiscal imbalance or climate change or other things they think it's going to solve everything >> what do you want to do for climate change you've seen what's going on in paris, right you think a carbon tax is the way to go? i mean, do you think raises prices on -- >> i do. i am part of the group, the baker shultz group that wants to put on a tax and use the revenue for that to rebate dividends to the public >> not going so wel

come in, steve moore, author of trumponomics. first about what you make of the president street?olding down the markets, david, but it's clearly the trigger. either way, this didn't start last week. this started back in september. if you look at where the bear market started it was with the huge mistake that the fed made in september when they raise rates. of course every sane person was saying don't raise rates again this year given the negative reaction to the first move and also the fact we have deflation. over the last year commodity prices are down 10%. that's a signal as you know, david, have deflation. david: there is no inflation. >> david, let me correct you. it's not that there is no inflation. it's deflation can be as bad as inflation. david: they believe the fed still believes that you have strong growth you have to have inflation. they don't get it. >> they think growth causes inflation. the keynesian model would be thrown out on the street. i was being a little bit provocative day in my piece, but i do think jerome powell should really think about whether he's up to

with me now is former trump campaign economic adviser, stephen moore, also the author of this book, trumponomics. good morning, stevewo minutes those jobs are going to come back and it doesn't matter. if i'm one of those workers in ohio, it does matter. what's your read? >> the president is partially right and partially wrong. he's right that the manufacturing sector of the american economy is probably doing better than just about any other sector. we have gained, if you look at manufacturing construction, we have gained nearly a million jobs since trump was elected. most manufacturers and construction companies say they can't find enough workers. it is true in places like ohio, pennsylvania, michigan, blue-collar workers are doing well. you're also right, for people who are going to lose their job, that's a very painful experience. they may be unemployed for a time, and so my heart goes out to the people who lose their jobs. you never want to see a factory close. what bothers me about the story -- >> we're going to get to that in a moment. i know what bothers you. we'll get to it. you know, those union auto jobs, i

steve, i'm sorry, what's that? we mentioned pete moore the test of the confetti.there it is for all it is worth! just a taste of what's to come. just a couple of handfuls really of confetti. imagine 1.5 million tons of the stuff. that's how much will come down on new year's eve. back to this, we can say this the celebration of democrats and all the money they're going to spend. it is our money chopped up in little pieces. celebrating a common sense. >> exactly! we haven't even mentioned medicare for all. that has been estimated to cost up to $3 trillion. that is the entire budget, it would mean you'd have to get rid of everything, defense, social security spending, you name it! how will they pay for all of this? >> the answers they will not pay for it. the way you attack at those not just the cost but also the fact that this will mean worse healthcare for the american people. less choice. how did the europeans do it with a one payer system? they do it by russians. england for example, if you need dialysis, 60, you'll never get in front of that line. they leave you
