weld: i actually thought stephen moore would be ok.ply-sider when there was nobody except a few. i believe in tax cuts, by and large. i think they are good for the country because the government is too big, and i believe in the dynamic scoring of tax cuts, and i am sure stephen moore agrees with that. i've known him for quite a while. he was writing for "the wall street journal" back in the 1990's, and they rang to be the most fiscally conservative governor in the united states, and i think he wrote that piece. i've always had a soft spot in my heart for stephen moore. sorry. [laughter] david: there's nothing to be sorry about, the facts are the facts. let's talk about monetary policy, the primary focus of the federal reserve. what would you want there? mr. weld: people keep coming up with these new monetary theories that mean deficits don't matter. i'm not buying that. i think we can't continue to run these deficits of $1 trillion a last and president trump's budget was a multi-year budget, but added 7.9 trillion dollars to the accumu

i think in a way stephen moore was mabybe the last person in washington to know that stephen moore was on the fed. when congress came back from its recess on monday, i talked to joanie ernst, the republican senator from iowa, she's running for reelection. she said she found moore's writings ridiculous, she was not enthusiastic. then in the days to follow, senator john thune said it would be a leheavy lift to nominate h. republicans don't have that big of a majority in the senate. >> susan collins was very vocal. >> and susan collins is running for reelection. she's facing a lot of criticism in maine, her home state, for voting to approve justice kauf gn -- kavanaugh. she couldn't afford this kind of a vote. >> let's also show you stephen moore was just on fox business just a few minutes ago. let's take a look at what he had to say. >> god'shonest truth, i thought it would be a one-day story. if i had any sense this would happen that people would being looking at my writings from 20, 25 years ago, i would have told the president, i wouldn't have told the president i couldn't do that. >>

stephen moore by tweet an hour ago and then got the stephen moore statement since then here's what stephen moore had to say on his withdrawal from consideration for the fed nomination he said i'm respectfully asking that you withdraw my name from consideration. the unrelenting attacks on my character untenable for me and my family and three more months of this would be too hard on us. we've now gotten a statement from chuck schumer, the senate democratic leader. he did this over twitter saying, ultimately, first, herman cain and now stephen moore. thank goodness neither actually nominated. only thing less funny than mr. moore's tasteless sexist jokes was the idea that president trump would consider him for a seat on the federal reserve. calling for serious candidates up to the federal reserve board. you'll see who's here. white house not saying right now who else they're considering for the federal reserve board, for those who available slots now but i'm told that the decision to move away from moore was made by the president very recently that is, relatively shortly before his tweetsme as

stephen moore. he is with the heritage foundation, serving as a fitting fellow. he is the co-author of trumponomics. good sunday morning. guest: thank you for having me. it is a pleasure to be here. host: we are glad to have you back. let's begin with the news for you personally. you were nominated to serve on the federal reserve board. in the wall the -- street journal, what did me in was gutter campaign tactics and personal assault. what happened? guest: this was five or six weeks ago when i got the call from the president. i worked as a senior advisor to his campaign on the economy. he asked me to serve on the federal reserve board. there are seven members of the board of governors on the federal reserve. when thete honored president asked me to do this. what happened was, i kind of was naive. i thought there would be a debate about my economic ideas and my philosophy. i worked with the president on the tax cut and his other initiatives. about my economic ideas. it was about this campaign. there were six or seven full-time investigators looking at every aspect

stephen moore does. he throws out people's names who are an f who senate republicans would say absolutely not, no way, jose, then he then slides in a c. or a d minus then they start to say well he's better than the last guy or we know he's not going to push jay powell. but if powell simply gets things more stabilized the president does chip, chip, chip away. >> well, a lot of people thought that after cane withdrew that moore had his ticket on to the fed. the judgment of republican economists were not qualified trt job. all of the writings and controversy and case of cane, the sexual harassment charges and case of steve, all the things he had said and written over the years, those add to it but the core element was that people like greg who was the head of the counsel of economic advisers under president trump, said publicly as soon as moore's name was floated, this guy does not belong on the fed. the senate should do its job and in the end, the senate did. now i think we should note that before we got t

tom: stephen moore yesterday with guy johnson and vonnie quinn.molar free. free.a -- mueller bring up the president next as the governor of the fed? kevin: the names well materialize in the next few days. some of the names circulating will resurface. the president, with herman cain and stephen moore, advocated for a more personality driven economy to go to the fed, with the traditional experience in the sense that many in the financial community are used to. tom: let us look to counselor who will be with us in about 35 minutes. mr. moore has some unique views on policy. by a basket of goods and services and those are the prices the fed should watch. it seems reasonable to suspect that he is advocating for easier monetary policy now as opposed to end 2015, because he believes it will help the republican president's reelection chances. does the house push back? kevin: yes, and i think you saw that. one republican leadership comes out and says that stephen moore does not have the votes, that was a stark illustration of where things were and how uncom

but the concerns about stephen moore go well beyond his sexist comments.go to the root cause of the controversy, remember when he was potentially -- his name was potentially floated, conservative economists were questioning his credentials and the fact of whether or not he would be truly independent and not just a political sycophant for the president. so that was the main problem. now democrats are having a lot of fun with this today. chuck schumer coming out and said first cane and that was the first nominee that dropped out because of allegations of sexual harassment that came back to haunt him, first cane and now moore. thank goodness each were not nominated and the only thing less funny than some of the tasteless, offensive, sexist jokes the president consider him for a seat in the federal reserve. and now who will trump nominate after two nom-in is lost in the faith of his party and will he go forth and pick someone who is confirmable, for lack of a better term, from the senate. and hopefully that means a more independent nominee. >> interesting to s

it remains the top story, president trump's fed pick stephen moore reportedly deciding to drop out ofhe process, according to a tweet by the president. it was just an hour ago that in an interview with bloomberg's moore said he was confident he would win support. stephen: it will be different three months from now when i go before the senate and the banking committee and the full senate. i am not too concerned about this. amanda: we have with us bloomberg economics -- a bloomberg economics reporter. the other thing moore said today is that he doesn't think president trump's call for a full-point reduction in interest rates is the right one. you wonder if this was voluntary withdrawal or not. >> i am not going to speculate on the timing of the decision, but it was clear he was not going to get confirmed. we did hear very clear signs of that happening. i think that it just tells you they have to choose somebody who would really be balanced and have a very solid economic background. taylor: we know he had been a little bit critical of jay powell. we heard from trump talking about cutting

and stephen moore came under scrutiny after several of his columns published in the early 2000s showed him making disparaging remarks about women. moore went on fox business to talk about his decision to withdraw and the recent controversy. >> it was very disappointing that this couldn't go forward, but the fact is that this kind of sleaze campaign over the last three or four weeks was really too tough for me and my family and, you know, we just decided it was much better for donald trump to select someone who doesn't have a 30-year paper trail. if people were looking at things i was writing 25 years ago and looking through my divorce records and it just was too difficult for us. i feel like i've let a lot of people down, the president most of all. he was incredibly nice and kind and when i told him about this and he understood, but, you know, i'm bummed out, frankly, that i'm not going to be over there at the fed because i think i could have brought some ideas that the fed really needs. >> we'll talk about that in a bit. moore's withdrawal happened on the same day as the chairman of t

trump's fed nominee, stephen moore-- seen here demonstrating how to punch stephen moore in the face. moore's nomination has been in jeopardy for saying stuff like this: >> i do believe one of the biggest problems with the american economy today is what has happened with male wages over the last 25-30 years. you know, when you have male wages declining like that, they become less important in terms of the breadwinner in the family, and that can lead to family instability. ( audience reacts ) >> stephen: that is so old-fashioned. "breadwinners"? hasn't he heard about gluten? it's "kalewinners" now. ( laughter ) but this morning, moore went on tv to make the case for himself as a qualified economic expert and steer the discussion away from his comments about women. >> i think the case for me is, look at this boobing economy! >> stephen: ( as moore ) "yes, look at this boobing economy! it's the best in recent mammary. if i'm appointed, job rates won't just double, they'll nipple." ( laughter ) plus, this morning, moore said, "my biggest ally is the president. he's full speed ahead." yes,

host: our guest is stephen moore from the heritage foundation. guest: can i add just -- one thing that is interesting and what happened is this issue of withholding. some people looked at the refund from the government and said, i refund a smaller. therefore i tax cut was smaller. i want to clarify that. one of the things we did, we wanted the tax cut to get an in people's pocketbooks right away. in people's pocketbooks right away. we change the withholdings of the people did not get the tax cut at the end of the year. they were getting more -- a bigger paycheck each week or each month depending on when they get paid. people are a little bit confused about that. if you get an extra $50 in your paycheck, they might not have noticed. they did notice that there refund was not that big. i does want to clarify that. host: that was the average, 50 to $100. guest: i am estimating. saying, theblican molar report revealed that president -- the robert mueller report did reveal that president trump engaged in a pattern of behavior that meets the threshold o

tell us a little about stephen moore in what his background was. case.asm he is known to american tv viewers here, a frequent commentator on economic issues. his views were sort of known to have kind of change depending on different times. he had been pulled up ever since his name was floated for the nomination forgetting certain economic statistics wrong and his understanding of certain things, whether it beat disinflation was one error or there was criticism of if he understood how the economy was staring at the moment. all of this came toa staring at the moment. all of this came to a head with a number of republicans beginning to express doubts that they will be unable to support them and there was a sense that there might not beat the numbers to get him confirmed. donald trump and said he would stick by his man but it did increasingly seem unlikely and now we get this sort of withdrawal. of course is comes at a time of many people were concerned the federal reserve independent was under attack and the president, who certainly is taken to tweeting pub
