the president already tried with herman cain and stephen moore.h of those didn't get anywhere in the process. judy shelton has got the furthest in the process. why would republicans go against president trump on this particular issue? matt: as we know, republican senators have been pretty willing to green light trump's other appointees in other areas and go along with his policies, but the fed seems to be one area or they have been willing to stand up to him over the course of his presidency. you see the issue that they have with people blake shelton and stephen moore and herman cain -- with people like shelton and stephen moore and herman cain, they are intent on keeping mainstream people in the fed. it kind of shows how important the institution is to them at the end of the day. guy: it was interesting listening to the banking committee talk to powell the other day. senator after senator talking about the idea that fed independence was in the -- was important to them. how is this process actually working? normally, you would expect serious vetti

word take president trump's former economic adviser stephen moore. said he thinks capitalism is a lot more important than democracy i'm not even a big believer in the mockers when you're not supposed to say that out loud and that is what most economists think but you don't admit to it in polite company stephen moore understands that his job like most economists is to defend capitalism for the pretty bad rap it's getting right now maybe we should get different economists ones who actually believe that democracy is good and inequality is bad heck we could get economists who don't even wear tweet maybe they could go full flannel tom star's time. getting better economist would be a great start but more important than that is getting a better system reporting from washington i mean there's only. you know your headline from the future in 2 months you'll read. boy scouts of america reach a settlement with 12000 victims in which they will give them an undisclosed amount of their childhoods back. and in march you'll learn. so many arabia begins using u.s. hea

[laughter] >> how many homes does he have? three bucks the guy is a millionaire. like a lot of socialists, they are pretty hypocritical. he flies first class and on private planes with their carbon footprint. >> look at this.
