I've been doing a lot of TV lately, but easily my favorite thing is "The Professor Is In," a segment in which we step back from the news cycle and teach economics. That's my true love. With news that Trump might be about to appoint a new Fed chair, we explain: What does the Fed Chair do?

Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child

Canadians boycotting the United States are actually moving the needle. Las Vegas alone has taken a four-billion-dollar hit because Canadians chose not to go. The American alcohol industry is down another nine hundred million. That is real impact. #cdnpoli
