Stephen Moore

We all know that.

Steve Moore just posted that the president on the first day of Congress, the president should propose legislation that eliminates the federal gas tax.

Put your money where your mouth are, Democrats.

You want lower gas prices? Start right there.

Acknowledge.

To the voters, Stephen Moore says that you understand what just happened.

There are many reasons, and everyone is going all over the place, but we know what the reasons are generally.

By the way, it includes lousy candidates.

That seems easy.

Steve Moore, how you doing? How did it not go well? it didn't go well it was bad the

last time i talked to you i've been doing better let's put it like that i mean um but look the democrats are going to come with a very aggressive agenda by the way annie i was part of the uh played a very small role in the republican revolution in 1994 when republicans had an even bigger year than the democrats had this time we're about the same size where we won every election from senator to governor to dog catcher around the country And, you know, so we came in at that time, we had our first hundred hour agenda where we re but the, but here's the thing that's so interesting.

Republicans had told the American people what we were going to do.

So if you get rid of the starter jobs, then how are people going to get on the economic ladder?

Can you, I wanna dive a little bit deeper into this before we let you go.

We're speaking with Steve Moore, the co-founder of the Committee for Prosperity, because I think the minimum wage question is like one of the best examples of something that sounds really good, but it cannot come to pass the way people who wanna implement it think it can come to pass.

Just walk me through the process.

That seems easy.

Steve Moore, how you doing? It did not go well.

It didn't go well.

It was bad.

wage laws are starter jobs.

So if you get rid of the starter jobs, then how are people going to get on the economic ladder?

you i want to d i want to dive a little bit deeper into this before we let you go we're speaking with steve moore the co-founder of the committee for prosperity because i think the minimum wage question is like one of the best examples of something that sounds really good but it cannot come to pass the way people who want to implement it think it can come to pass just walk me through the process people want those entry-level people to get a leg up in life so let's raise the lowest amount that they can make an hour what happens next

Well, first of all, I mean, I'm not against a reasonable minimum wage.

That seems easy.

Steve Moore, how you doing? It did not go well.

It didn't go well.

It was bad.

let's make sure it applies to people over the age of 21.

We want young people to be able to start on the And by the way, when I said that, I think we should have maybe a $5 minimum wage for teenagers.

Oh, Steve Moore hates teenagers.

No.

Maybe we would have saved 50 cents a gallon.

The economists on the Committee for Prosperity who figured out Steve Moore and these other guys, just do it.

And then you look back, and a lot of the gains we made with all different voter groups, the Democrats went to work four years ago.

They went after younger men.

Oh man, what a whole ball of wrong.

All right, before we go to break, Steve Moore, who has a show on WABC here in New York, on the Great Jobs Report today.

Again, the economy, we're told, is horrible under Trump.

Actually, it's very, very good.
