C. To go head to head with Stephen Moore a Senior Member of the trump 2020 campaign and one of the president s top Economic Advisors held for the 1st time at George Washington university all skin with a trumpet a mix is really helping ordinary americans and whether a volatile and seemingly unstable trump is even fit to be president of the United States. Ill also be joined by rick wilson. Longtime republican political strategist whos become a leading conservative critic of the president and author of the book everything trump touches. A constitutional lawyer and member of the trump 2020 Advisory Board and Tiffany Krause a liberal commentator and cofounder of the National News website the b. Please welcome Stephen Moore. Moore is coauthor of the book trump a nomics inside the america 1st plan to revive the economy. Stephen moore thank you for joining me on head to head 1st to be here. Stephen you think that u. S. President donald trump of all people deserves to win the nobel prize for economics well weve got a very Strong Economy in the United States right now you know its weakened a little bit from last year when i said that i think on c. N. N. That he should win the nobel prize for economics but its the strongest economy in the world today. For reviving the economy i think trumpeters serves a lot of credit and maybe a nobel prize you say reviving the economy lets just be clear about what trump promised he promised 4 percent even 5 percent growth he hasnt even managed 3 percent yet he promised to eliminate the National Debt in 8 years instead hes increasing it by 4 trillion dollars he said he would save coal coal hasnt be saved he said he would restore manufacturing its in recession just one failed economic pledge after another i see things real differently i mean 1st of all of them differently the facts right. I mean trump makes grandiose promises exaggerates and sometimes i wish you wouldnt do that but. You know if you compare where the economy is today versus where it was when he entered office its substantially stronger and if youre an American Worker and youre looking for a job this is the best labor market for workers so probably in 50 years and the labor market is great there is a 107. 00 just for audience here and its what youre home there have been 107 consecutive months of job growth 76. 00 under obama 31 under truncheon you say thank you barack obama look obama certainly deserves some credit for getting that Unemployment Rate down but it continues to slide lower than anybody thought was possible i think that you know if you look at your growth is growing slower in detroit than it doing well barack obama the problem let me say this the problem we have in the american Economy Today is not a shortage of jobs you know if we put every unemployed person into a job wed still have a 1000000 have jobs left over thats a thats a pretty Strong Economy it is and im saying there inherited a pretty Strong Economy your way trump should be given you say trump should be given a nobel prize for economics when barack obama was president you said americans shouldnt reelect incumbents who quote run up the deficit by a trillion dollars in the woods this year the trust deficit crossed a trillion dollars it will cost a trillion dollars a year as well so stephen surely for the sake of consistency you will be urging everyone not to reelect donald trump well no im not hands out and go youre a consistent. Ive been. Ive been very critical of the overspending thats going on in washington and i think both parties are responsible for that the good news is that the economy is growing faster than the debt thats the most important thing make sure that our ability to repay the debt you say thats the most that is under obama you didnt say that was a miserable day was that his yes these are your goods because you cannot run up the deficit by 1000000000. 00 let me you said you said let me quote you im angry because were borrowing 1000. 00 trump is now pouring 22. 00 trillion dollars a year angry now on the angry when obamas there is that is a share of g. D. P. In the last 2 years under bush and the years under obama doubled we. Borrowed more money in bushs last 2. 00 yours and obamas 8 year and then. The share of the according to the congressional budget of monogamy and world war 2 levels under trump do you recognize this book i didnt you wrote this book called in 2009 how barack obama is bankrupting the u. S. Economy tonight do you want to change the name right over and put donald i give you like no no and get your show off enough or you can because theres a lot of 20. 00 in because theres a big one thats really in dollar debt isnt a difference weve got to get on a minimum booming economy think thats going to be us no the last year that barack obama was present at the economy grew by 1. 5 percent last year you know very well we got fiscal 2009 as measured by economists not george bushs budget you know unless. The numbers i mean all see that the chinese trade will donald trump said last year that trade was a good and easy to win he now says he didnt say it but he did say that it clearly hasnt been easy to win and in terms of being good dont these trump tariffs on china represent the biggest tax increase on u. S. Consumers in modern time the i am a frequent trade guy and one of the things i 1st told donald trump when i met him when he asked me to work for him as a senior economist i said mr you know donald im a free trade guy he said look i believe in free trade he just but he said i want a level Playing Field we are in an epic battle with the chinese its going to last decades dont the trump tariffs on china we can talk about decades long but right now dont they represent the biggest tax increase on u. S. Consumers in modern times well no we can for you say no but those are your goods oh wait a minute hold you said trumps idea of a 35 percent tariff on imported goods would represent the biggest tax increase on u. S. Consumers in modern times suddenly start working for trump and thats not true i know their average American Family has seen about a 1500. 00 reduction in their taxes thanks to the to the worst economy that ive had wiped out by these tariffs not still havent been to new York Federal Reserve has 800. 00 or how about that you know whos been everyones list of those who you know new Federal Reserves are only in the tax policy and it is very anti. To be for the federal budget or burden of those those tariffs are borne by American Consumers look at that if thats the case then why would china care the fact is anyway before bearing the cost of it just here are some of the i so enjoyed this conversation because youre all going with yourself im not the one who said im not the one who said every quote or tariff imposed on the u. S. Hurts residents of the United States because all restrictions hurt the United States tariffs have never worked i always end in an unhappy ending because you also let me explain argue with you see because its an important point do i think that these these tariffs on china are hurting American Consumers absolutely there was double trouble this he did look he says the chinese and not any americans are paying the tariff thats a lie you know thats a lie you say that you are saying is the the book of the cost of the terrorists is being borne by the chinese through depreciating their currency for providing increasing subsidies to their companies and when they do that the cost is borne by the chinese not the United States the people have done the studies on the stephen reading a print a lot of the money that you dont even know what i found what were seeing even reading is the one of the countrys top experts on International Trade is a professor of economics at princeton. All of the u. S. Tariffs of imports passed absolutely for consumers thats what do you think its a bit about but about would you are supported having free trade with nazi germany or the japanese such china is now hes in germany we are in china not i do think we are in a new cold war with china and there was a german about china nazi germany in 2015 when you said why are we picking an economic weight i dont care about the Human Rights Violations in china i care about about them build im wondering when you care about their about a given 2015 you didnt care about them you said do we really want to pick an economic war with china whether or not in 2015 the only consolation i think this is the National Review article china is our number one import market do we really want to pick an economic war with then i then we should right now if youre telling us that even more of 23. 00 after he was well we have to it was wrong and dreadful trouble on the floor of 2019 tells of Stephen Moore 2050 lets go to our panel who are waiting patiently. To come in here and join the discussion rick wilson is a long time republican political strategist who has worked for george h. W. Bush Rudy Giuliani among others since 2015 hes been a leading i think its fair to say conservative critic of President Trump author of the book everything trump touches dies now theres a title you and stephen have moved in similar right wing circles youve both worked on republican president ial campaigns who better represents conservative economic principles right now you or him well work im not an economist by trade or training steve it is but i will say this i still believe with the things that i think stephen believed before which is the primacy of free markets and now we have a president who wants to talk companies what to make where they can make it who engages in state capitalism sort of crony capitalist things and i think stephen you know prior stephen and now stephen theres a big dichotomy there and its i dont think its stephen alone i think there are a lot of republicans who just made that compromise you know so im curious like how does it feel like to flip so fast and so hard resolve that ive always said that right. Quickly respond that ive always said the single most important thing to reduce the National Debt in the deficit and i think its important priority for the United States is to grow the economy to put more people to work to make more American Companies you know richer and more profitable rick we have done that in spades stephen you mentioned the economy is greater than ever before more bring in journalist reviews hes a constitutional lawyer member of the trump 20 twentieths Advisory Board author of the book the legal basis for moral constitution Genet Stephen says talks about this great economy anyone paying attention to the news recently and look at some of the numbers coming out theres a fear of a recession or at least a downturn coming maybe even ahead of of the next election how does a selfinflicted recession some might argue given the trade war how does that fit with the whole make America Great again message going into 2020 this could be a problem fame is it not we want to talk about the constitution here not 100 percent of aca. Factors can be directly attributable to a single president and so if you look at the leadership style of barack obama its a great point see where i was getting republicans during the obama premiere but i think that thats that but we did it and i certainly have and you know congress is also very much responsible and both sides how worried are you about a recession but i think that were point about self infliction is is also very very consistent with what were seeing with the Mainstream Media who are so intact in a stacked against this particular president that they are the ones that are creating a false narrative so i listen even once this is like to give him an opportunity will give him over to actually its so good at all if youre going to let me explain rather than trying to do it question is ition so much when you say the Mainstream Media is to blame for the post talking about recession the white house chief of staff and that Mick Mulvaney sai
