Steve Liesman, talking about the "Fed": "it turns out Janet Yellen was a hawk. She raised the "Fed" rate for the first time in ten (10) years.
Joe Kernan: "Did I just hear you (Steve) call Janet Yellen a monetary hawk because she raised "the rate" for the first time in ten years."
Steve: "Yes." [What a doofus.]
Joe Kernan: "One would think that "they" would have models for these (Fed rate) actions."
Steve: "Well, Joe, I wonder if you have models because no one else does."
Joe: "All I know is that we all know the exact global temperature one hundred years from now."
Along with five others, Joe Kernan is a national treasure.
