Gotta love the host speaking somewhat truthily....

But where did they dig up someone who considers Steve either an economist and/or worth heeding?

The nomination stirred immediate criticism by economists,[64][65][14][66] and was widely viewed as the most political appointment to the Federal Reserve Board since the 1980s.[43][67] Benn Steil, director of international economics for the Council on Foreign Relations, stated he found the decision appalling.[68] Monetary economist George Selgin stated he believed Moore was unfit to serve on the Board.[65] Economist Justin Wolfers called the selection of Moore "the first genuinely bad Trump pick for the Fed" and called on the Senate not to confirm Moore.[43] Harvard economics professor Greg Mankiw said that Moore "does not have the intellectual gravitas" for the position.[69][70] Economist Menzie Chinn noted that Moore has not authored or co-authored any peer-reviewed journal articles.[71

Steve draws jeers from both left and right...
