In this Throwback Talks session, The Crude Life looks back at our interview with Stephen Moore, Writer and Commentator. In this exclusive interview, host Jason Spiess drives and drops off Moore at the airport in order to get this industrial-sized energized interview. The two talk about the importance of energy in the economy and what it is doing to the economy domestically.
At the time of the interview, the mining industry, specifically the oil and gas industry within the mining industry, was the only positive job creator from 2010-2015. This includes all the tech start ups and other highly subsidized government endorsed companies through special interests and economic development groups.
Stephen Moore is an American conservative writer and television commentator on economic issues. He co-founded and served as president of the Club for Growth from 1999 to 2004. Moore is a former member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board. He worked at The Heritage Foundation from 1983 to 1987 and again since 2014. Moore advised Herman Cain's 2012 presidential campaign and Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
Moore advocates tax cuts and other supply-side policies. Moore's columns have appeared in outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, The Washington Times, The Weekly Standard and National Review.
Along with Larry Kudlow, Moore advised the Trump administration during the writing and passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. On March 15, 2019, President Donald Trump announced that Moore would be nominated to serve as a governor of the Federal Reserve.
On May 2, 2019, Moore withdrew his name from consideration amid bipartisan resistance in the Senate.
In February 2019, Moore stated, "There's no bigger swamp in Washington than the Federal Reserve Board. It's filled with hundreds of economists who are worthless, who have the wrong model in their mind. They should all be, they should all be fired and they should be replaced by good economists."
Before his nomination to the Federal Reserve Board, in late December 2018 Moore stated, while on a radio talk show, that he believed "the people on the Federal Reserve Board should be thrown out for economic malpractice"
In April 2020, Moore referred to individuals who protested stay-at-home orders during the coronavirus pandemic as "the modern-day Rosa Parks — they are protesting against injustice and a loss of liberties." He ran a group named Save Our Country, which argued for the reopening of the economy amid the coronavirus pandemic. Moore argued against coronavirus relief in the form of unemployment benefits, arguing that "giving people money" was not an economic stimulus.
Moore said, if it were true that it was stimulus, "we could just give everybody $100,000 and we'd all be rich right? It’s just so stupid."
