and let's just start with the subject of steven moore. would you support his candidacy to the feds? >> no, i have been pretty outspoken that i wouldn't. one of the reasons why is what we saw this morning is he sees his candidacy won's aed t candiy and campaign and an extension of the agenda that's not the fed's role, it would cross a important line for the federal reserve in terms of being wholly to the bhims of one political ally instead of the economy overall. >> steve, what do you think? because to me, in a way, there is sort of an elegant way to be political or quietly be political and a more overt way and stephen moore falls in the latter category. >> reporter: yeah. i think we can describe, you know, the political landscape that we've seen, where would president trump fall in that landscape for you, kelly same place that stephen moore is so that's why we are having there discussion right now i think the bigger question is what would the markets say >> right markets, he's been the very vocal person against powell's raising of rates the markets chose to back up that viewpoint i

you all want in terms of causing interest rate hikes and seconds can you talk a little bit about steven moore and how committed the white house is given all of the information about his personal life? >> well, on the matter of the fed i concur that money looked too tight particularly in the last couple of rate hikes. there was an incorrect report saying i used the word immediately. did not. in two tv shows i went soft on it. it is our point of view. fed is independent. the fed is independent. we are not trying to compromise that. never will. i started my career at the fed. i was there for signing in 1913. it is a joke. i look at yield curve and it's way too tight for me. i know that there's global economies extremely soft. the growth, we are not happening out one-time tax rebates. our incentives are to boost investment and productivity is rising and hence real wages have plenty of room to go up. it if i get the numbers right 7.3 million job openings according to the report. 6.5 million unemployment. i think those are right. you say where is the -- how are we going to do this? the answer is di

you know, by calling for a rate cut, both for the guy who is likely to be nominated to the fed, steven mooreand the head of the national economic council, larry kudlow, are they sending out maybe a warning sign simply by doingit? >> it's possible, yes. you have to look at history a little bit here. when the fed starts to reverse its policy and either stops rate cuts or rate hikes, rather, or even starts to cut rates, that's actually usually not a positive sign for the economy it means that the fed has probably gone too far and it means that things are already starting to turnover that's not really what we're seeing this time around, though. we think the fed is being very, very cautious. the economy -- >> overly cautious >> a little bit overly cautious. the economy is still very healthy. things have slowed down a bit. certainly from what we saw the last two years not just in the u.s., but globally speaking. at the same time, you know, the economy is still very, very healthy here still, you know, significant job gains. the last number notwithstanding. still very long unemployment we think that
