Thomas replied that the economy is “doing very very well,” and he looks at the economy “long term.”

“The number one catalyst that nobody is going to talk about—especially your show, and others like this—is the number one catalyst is the corporate tax,” Thomas said. “This is the market mover.”

“You’re talking to two financial journalists,” Velshi replied, informing Thomas that the market “started going up on March 9, 2009.”

“There is nothing Donald Trump has done to cause the market to be where it is,” Velshi said.

Ruhle slumps down in her chair as if she . . . .

That was some of the finest troll beat down action I can ever recall seeing.

I'm glad I had the presence of mind to record it.

MSNBC has a great line up this year of strong presenters and journalists.... Joy Ann Reid, Stephanie Ruhle, Katy Tur, Ali Velshi, Ari Melber, Kasie Hunt, Kristen Welker, Kelly O'Donnell, Craig Melvin, and Ayman Mohyeldin. All very smart and sharp.

I think MSNBC has found their hook this year... showcase smart and upcoming personalities.

Ali Velshi, who has forgotten more about economics in his relatively young age, then the Trump administration will ever know. Doing great work at MSNBC, one that CNN let get away twice.

The HPOD reference is from Jon Stewart. Hairless Prophet of Doom backgrounder

being exposed. Some place on the internet where independents and struggling republicans can go to get educated. It would be the top 25 for each year. Kind of like a Ted Talk. With no comments section for viewers. Just the facts. So that the most important moments are saved for posterity. And punch through all the noise that hides things like this video from the average American's consciousness.
