Wow, these two hosts are about as economically ignorant as I've ever seen. My former 8th grade students were 10 times as bright. I can tell Bob is also astounded that he has to explain the same things over and over, without any increased comprehension on the part of these hosts. But they come from a long tradition of totalitarianism, where nothing but absolute control and regulation is the accepted norm. They've got a ways to go!!! Study some basic Hazlitt and Murphy!!

He's not nervous that's just the way he talks. I think it's probably easier to debate a Keynesian than to debate someone who knows nothing.

@jpcl21 he's obviously nervous at times though I can't blame him under the circumstances.

[jpcl21]

@Leofus1986 He seems to do just fine to me.

[BarrySlisk]

That host is beyond stupid. He just repeats the same thing over and over. "You want people to starve?"

[Leofus1986]

Peter Schiff needs to come straighten out these clowns. I love Bob but he doesn't seem to do so well under pressure.

[CommSense]

the host is beyond ignorant.

[Veerwhil]

He argues very weakly here and doesn't counter the critical points presented with Austrian arguments. I doubt the interviewers were very convinced and satisfied with his explanations. They just think the Austrians want people to starve and suffer, without realizing that there's nothing the government can do to solve problems in the market.
