President Trump Wants a Dovish Fed Chair...

About this episode

This week, Joe, Scarlet and Julie spoke with Greg Valliere, Horizon Investments Chief Global Strategist, about the feud that he has been warning for months was inevitable: President Trump versus the Fed. Greg pointed out the irony: President Trump now wants a dovish Fed Chair. But, the President already had one. He fired her. Then Bloomberg Opinion Columnist Nathanial Bullard joined to discuss the Trump administration's latest environmental regulation rollback: revoking California's authority to set their own greenhouse gas emission standards. Sandy Darity, a professor in the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University, also joined to make the case for a federal jobs guarantee, and said even he is surprised at how much the policy idea is catching on.
