    Moore Money with Steve Moore | 03-28-26
    Mar 28 2026
    In this best of Moore Money, Steve Moore explores the intersection of geopolitics, energy independence, and free-market principles during a period of global instability. The broadcast centers on the economic ramifications of a conflict in the Middle East, specifically the closure of the Straits of Hormuz, which has driven oil prices toward a staggering $100 per barrel. Moore argues that while the United States has achieved a historic milestone as a net exporter of energy, the global nature of oil commodities means domestic consumers are still vulnerable to inflationary pressures caused by foreign supply disruptions. Through interviews with financial experts like Rob Arnott and political figures like Bob Livingston, the he critiques interventionist fiscal policies and "lawfare," advocating instead for the libertarian ideals found in Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations.

    Steve Moore provides a multifaceted critique of the current American landscape, specifically focusing on the intersection of energy policy, regional migration, and government efficiency.

A central theme of the program is the interstate migration of wealth, as Moore and demographer Wendell Cox analyze IRS data showing a mass exodus from high-tax "blue states" like New York and California toward low-tax "red states" like Florida and Texas.

    Steve Moore discusses the intersection of political integrity and financial longevity with guest Jay Jackson of Abacus Financial Management. The conversation begins with a defense of voter ID laws, framing them as a common-sense measure to protect the value of legal votes, before pivoting to the economic realities facing aging Americans. Jackson highlights a critical shift in retirement planning, noting that a 65-year-old today has a 50% probability of living to age 90, necessitating strategies that account for a much longer lifespan than previously expected. To combat market volatility and provide liquidity, he introduces the concept of life settlements, where individuals can sell their life insurance policies for immediate cash to fund their retirement or heirs.

    Steve Moore and economist EJ Antoni evaluate the economic volatility triggered by escalating Middle East conflicts and their subsequent impact on global energy markets.

    Steve Moore explores the intersection of geopolitics and economics, specifically focusing on how the conflict in the Middle East has disrupted global oil supplies and spiked domestic energy costs.

Beyond energy, the program serves as a broader defense of free-market capitalism, featuring a discussion with financial expert Rob Arnott that critiques progressive taxation and warns against the migration of wealth from high-tax states like California and New York.

    Steve Moore interviews commentators John Fund and Tom Del Beccaro to critique the economic decline of "blue states" like New York and California. The discussion highlights a growing "tax disease" characterized by aggressive new levies on wealth, yachts, and luxury goods, which the guests argue perversely results in capital flight and the loss of middle-class jobs. Contrasting the perceived stagnation in the United States with the burgeoning economic confidence in Argentina under Javier Milei, the participants warn that high-tax policies are hollowed out by the departure of billionaires and corporations.

    Rob Arnott | 03-14-26
    Mar 14 2026
    Steve Moore interviews financial expert Rob Arnott to explore the enduring superiority of free-market capitalism over socialist policies. The conversation begins by contrasting the classical wisdom of Adam Smith and Milton Friedman with modern "neo-Keynesian" trends, which the speakers argue lead to unsustainable deficit spending and a bloated government. A central theme of the discussion is the detrimental impact of high taxation, as Arnott explains how aggressive tax rates in states like California and New York trigger an exodus of wealth-creators to more hospitable environments. Shifting toward a global perspective, the duo highlights how private enterprise has historically reduced extreme poverty and improved life expectancy far more effectively than centralized planning. Finally, Arnott offers investment guidance, advising listeners to look past current market volatility and avoid overvalued sectors by betting on a long-term return to economic norms.
