what do you say to criticisms like that and what stephen moore has just said? agree with the allegations made by stephen. let me put it on the record. ever since the discovery of this very strange pneumonia, at the time it was called, on december 27, 2019, china moved into action, and as early as december 31, 2019, the chinese government contacted the who to report on this very strange phenomenon. and throughout the first week ofjanuary, china scrambled to do a massive amount of research to try to get to the bottom of this very strange virus. china was as eager as any other country to come up with the exact nature of this coronavirus. ok, no cover up, stephen moore? well, i think that's propaganda frankly, and i think the world will hold china accountable. i know here in the united states, there's a lot of talk about reparations payments that china will have to make to the united states. i think many countries, including the us, will reconsider how reliable china is in the global supply chain. and again, it's almost worse now that china won't fess up to the dama

ok, no cover up, stephen moore?ropaganda and i think the world will hold china accountable. in the united states there is talk about reparation payments china will have to make to the united states. many countries, including the us, will reconsider how reliable china is in the global supply chain. and again, it is almost worse now that china will not fess up to the damage they have called to the world economy. i have many say what victor has been saying and it is false, they did not allow journalists to report what was going on, they did not allow doctors to report the severity of this illness. it is doubly concerning to me that china will not come clean and admit what they did. all right, clear disagreement there from both of you. let's go to our next question, from sweden. good afternoon, everybody. would china accept an independent visit to wuhan from the who to conduct a full assessment of the origin of the virus and if necessary, abide by their recommendations on health and safety in order to minimise the risk

in fact, according to stephen moore, this means, quote, every worker in america would get a substantial pay raise and what is so promising about the payroll tax is the lowest wage workerses are the ones that would be most helped because they pay more payroll tax than income tax and that's something the president's mentioned and not necessarily as a condition and i won't negotiate here with speaker pelosi, but i encourage her to work with the president and help the low-income individuals get the tax cut they deserve. >> i'm sorry. michael pack has a confirmation hearing on thursday. could you speak to what the president wants him to do if confirmed to change the way the voice of america operates? >> i won't get ahead of that hearing which is later in the week, as you noted. >> i wanted to ask you about the task force and the president and the vice president said last week that there would be some new additions to the task force and that those would be announced on monday and we won't see those yet given the update and given that there will be on the task force. >> there will be additions

so is trump adviser and man choking on a peanut, stephen moore.t week moore encouraged people to go out and protest in wisconsin by saying this: >> we need to be the rosa parks here and protest against these government injustices. >> stephen: that analogy is the martin luther king of dumb. and i want to point out that moore is encouraging people to go out and risk their health and others on a zoom call from his living room. such courage. it's like the climactic scene from "braveheart." ( scottish accent ) "they may take our lives, but they will never-- oops, sorry. i'm on mute. let me know how the battle goes. i'll be on slack." trump said a lot of other dumb stuff at his daily screamers this weekend. for instance, he continued to defend the job he's done on testing. and by "defend," i mean lie through his teeth: >> you see so much about testing. what we have done is incredible in testing. and i started with an obsolete broken system from a previous administration or administrations. i inherited broken junk. >> stephen: you inherited broken junk?

according to stephen moore, this means every worker in america would get a substantial pay raise andt is so promising about the payroll tax is the regressive tax, so the lowest wage workers are in fact the ones it would be most helped because they paid more payroll tax than they do income tax. that something the president mentioned not necessarily as a condition, but i encourage her to work with the president and help these low income individuals get this tax cut that they deserve. >> a confirmation hearing on thursday, could you speak to what the president wants him to do if confirmed to change the way? >> i won't get ahead of that hearing which is later in the week, as you noted. >> i wanted to ask you about the task force, the president and the vice president said last week there would be some new additions to the task force and that those would be announced on monday. we haven't seen those names yet giving an update on that and whether or not they are going to be people in the task force. >> they will be additions but no announcements on that just yet. >> there were some deaths i

joining this conversation morning dagen mcdowell, joanie courtney and stephen moore, great to see everybodyob's numbers out. steve moore, your reaction and anticipation in of that number? steve: well, i think the data is going to be very depressing, but the good news is because of the reopening, maria, we are actually starting to see employers hire again and to me the most important thing is how steep will that curve be over the next few weeks and months in terms of reopenings and rehiring of workers. that's what i think the reason the market is up even though the job numbers are down, remember, this report looking back 2 or 3 weeks ago. the world has change a lot since then. maria: the next couple of weeks would be critical to understand what the reopenings mean for gdp and economy. 33% of the gdp in america. some of the top stories that we are watching this morning, more u.s. steps to begin easing stay at home restrictions. in california bookstores, clothing stores and florists can reopen for curbside pickup. the governor is also allowing some computer and textile manufacturers to return

smith, also joining the conversation fox business dagen mcdowell, republican strategist pinion and stephen moore. great to see everybody. hank, let me kick it off with you, jobless claims numbers yesterday. 30 million people having applied for unemployment benefits, you have a market down 450 points this morning. how do you see this economy recovering let's call it in the upcoming year? >> hank: it's going to feel like a v decline but it's really going to take a little bit of time to fully normalize and that's about getting consumer confidence back to norm and that will take seem here. maria: what do you want to do in the meantime in terms of investments, markets down 427 points, would you buy it? >> i think you do have to take advantage of these declines. look, we've never had a four-week bear market of 35% followed by a 4-week bull market and we also know we've never had bear markets that don't have tests but we are going to have tests, let's expect that but i think you definitely buy on that. remember last week we had 2 terrible days on monday and tuesday and maybe we are going to finish this

plus, stephen welcomes michael moore and musical guest brett eldredge. featuring jon batiste and stay homin'. and now, live on tape from a safe distance, it's stephen colbert. >> stephen: hey, everybody, welcome to "a late show." i'm your host st-- come on in. this is my wife. this is my wife, evie. >> hello. >> stephen: is that for me? or is that yours? >> no, that's water. >> stephen: i don't want water. ew. comfy? >> yeah. >> stephen: excellent. anyway, where was i? we have been out of the ed sullivan theater for... how long? six weeks. six weeks. i miss it. being at home with the family is nice. this is lovely. the commute is incredible. but my mailbox doesn't have my name on it in lights ten stories tall. as frustrating as quarantine is, polls show that 71% percent of americans, and 56% of republicans, say they are more concerned about lifting the coronavirus restrictions too quickly than lifting them too slowly. so, we know it's the right thing to do. we just want to know how long we're going to have to do it. well, brace yourself, because in german

we also have economist stephen moore on that as well.eve hilton on the revolt against the draconian lockdown restrictions. joe concha on the media silence on the flynn controversy. then a question. do you remember this? president trump unveiling the abbott labs testing kit in the rose garden. now the company making changes amid inaccuracy concerns about that test. health and human services secretary alex azar talking about that after this. it's a thirteen-hour flight, that's not a weekend trip. fifteen minutes until we board. oh yeah, we gotta take off. you downloaded the td ameritrade mobile app so you can quickly check the markets? yeah, actually i'm taking one last look at my dashboard before we board. excellent. and you have thinkorswim mobile- -so i can finish analyzing the risk on this position. you two are all set. have a great flight. thanks. we'll see ya. ah, they're getting so smart. choose the app that fits your investing style. ♪ and people you can rely on. i'm a dell technologies advisor. me too. me too. me too. and if you'r

stephen moore joins us now, economist supremo. , i say this coming election depends upon president trump's re-election really depends upon us coming out of this recession quickly. are we going to come out of it quickly? >> hi, stuart. good to be with you. i don't think we're going to come out of this recession quickly. no, i don't. i think we have done severe damage. your commentary was precisely right. so i think a lot of americans think two or three weeks from now when they come out of hiding, everything will be like it was and it won't be. we have seen too many business failures too many industries hobbled. it will be a slow recovery. art laffer, your favorite economist and mine, did a study a week or two ago that predicted it's going to take probably three or four months before the economy really starts to show some new life. the fall, we should start to see improvement. but i agree entirely, stuart, with your premise that the election in november is going to be primarily about one issue, that issue that you asked in your fox p

books on the trump administration continues with author and trump presidential campaign advisor stephen moore. his book "trumponomics" exim's economic policies of the trump administration. here's a portion of a stock which he discusses the tax cuts of 2017. >> there's always a risk when you say people are pro-business, that they are pro-cronyism at the same time. >> a couple ideas. first of all look, the government is it a $4 trillion enterprise. it's the biggest enterprise in the world. bringing business principles to operate that make sense to me. you don't waste money. but the bottom line. you make sure if you only have so much revenue you don't spend way over the revenue amount. trump has brought some of those principles to washington which i think is well, long overdue. one of the things about barack obama is, look, brock long did know anything about this is he knew nothing that business so how could he possibly know it economic policies are going to work? >> there was maybe the biggest difference between president obama and president trump is one really, i don't know, there was a commen

economy could bounce back by late summer according to two members of the white house, stephen moore andd what it means for all americans. that's coming up next. safe drivers save 40%!!! guys! guys! check it out. safe drivers save 40%!!! safe drivers save 40%! safe drivers save 40%!!! that's safe drivers save 40%. it is, that's safe drivers save 40%. - he's right there. - it's him! he's here. he's right here. - hi! - hi. hey! - that's totally him. - it's him! that's totally the guy. safe drivers do save 40%. click or call for a quote today. and i recently had a heart attack. it changed my life. but i'm a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it's for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. in a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack... ...or dying from one. don't stop taking brilinta without talkin

stephen moore is with us, economist at freedom works.t shows red states growing at a much faster pace than blue states. democrat states, basically. which have not opened up very much. give me the numbers. >> so what we're seeing is not surprising, i'm sure, to fox business viewers which is that the red states are coming out of this recession much quicker, much more powerfully, than the blue states. i looked at what was happening in four or five big states, i was looking at california, illinois, new york, which obviously are prototypical blue states, then compared them with florida. florida is doing much better, they are starting to get their jobs back, they have suffered much less unemployment than these other states, and stuart, i got to tell you, i'm very worried not just about those blue states, but also those big blue state cities. i'm worried about what's going to happen to manhattan. i'm worried about what's happening in san francisco. i'm worried about my hometown of chicago, which right now, all three of those major cities are gh

that's what the president thinks and that's exactly i believe what stephen moore thinks. he's with us now. he's a member of the trump economic recovery task force. stephen, the point to be made is surely that we are opening up anyway. there's a mood of defiance in the air. there are people opening against the rules. they are doing it. i mean, this is really marching forward here. >> it is. you can't keep a great country down, stuart. i think that's the lesson here. you are starting to see governors open up their economies, especially in the red states, states like georgia and florida and tennessee and texas and some of those mountain states like utah and montana, and even some in the midwest, like nebraska and iowa. the problem you still have is you've got states like new york and california and my home state of illinois and a few others of these blue states that are staying shuttered. you are seeing a bifurcated system where i predict you will see in the southern region of the country and some of the mountain and midwestern states doing well, coming out of the recovery, n

stephen moore basically said the same thing. that were out protesting, getting sick, risking the lives of senior citizens when they went back home, were the rosa parks of this generation. i could go down the long laundry list of people that have supported donald trump on the media, basically saying the lives of senior citizens matter less than the lives of people in their 30s. i mean, that's been the general argument. that's been the general mindset. seniors are watching. they can blame andrew cuomo for the mistakes he made, and he made a lot of mistakes. they can try to defend kemp, try to defend desantis. in america, they're missing the bigger point. when the japanese pomm ebombed harbor, america looks to the white house. when osama bin laden blows up the world trade center, americans look to the oval office. when 100,000 americans are going to die from a once in a century pandemic, americans look to the oval office. they don't look to militias or 50 different governors. that's what -- and if the president in the oval office i

moore becomes president in 15 years? i mean, like, maybe that's a bad example. sean penn. i don't know. >> stephenlf a new one about the failures of the michael moore administration. let me ask you about where you are now. you look like you're shooting at yn and but you're at home, right? >> i'm not at cnn. i'm in a spare room in my house. the cnn engineers set this up early on. my dad's a doctor, my mom's a nurse, so i took this very seriously early on. you know, i just didn't think it was necessary for me to be going in every day if they could make it look reasonable professional from the spare room we have. so i come here -- >> stephen: no, looks like you're in the studio. >> yeah. i mean, they have lights here and an underlight, and it's pretty good. sometimes my kids are production assistants, sometimes my wife. sometimes the dogs burst into the room, but it's okay. and, look -- >> stephen: me, too. twice on tonight's show, my dog came in. >> is that right? yeah, but that's charming when you do it. for me, people is, like, why is there a dog barking in this piece about shanghai? >> stephen: t
