your support. I did not have time to get to
this couple of days ago. I meant to, but I didn't.
It's been like about a week, mainly because I run
my mouth about stuff and then I lose track of time.
So anyway, my apologies. But Donald Trump fired the head
of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. What was her name,
it's a weird kind of a name, Erica mecintarfer, mckentfarr, mcinturfer. Anyway,
fired her after the BLS put out some numbers and
Trump was like, these are rigged, and he fired her.
Outrage ensued. Now let me fast forward to yesterday, where
NBC News has the big scoop of the week here
that the newly appointed chief of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics because the last one just got fired, so the
new one. E J. Antony, an economist from the Heritage
Foundation nominated by Trump. NBC News is the first to
report that Antony was among the crowd outside the capital
on January sixth, and the White House says he was
a bystander who actually just wandered over after seeing cover
John the news. But January sixth, EJN. Toni appears in
numerous videos posted on social media of the crowd on
the Capitol grounds. All right, well, the footage shows Antony, Antony,
Antonai and Tonai. I don't know, I don't know how
he pronounces it, but the footage shows UH that him
approximately an hour after the mob removed police barricades. And
the footage also shows that UH shows him leaving the
grounds as people entered the Capitol, but does not show
him entering the building. Dang it, Wow, so close we
almost had him. A White House official said yesterday that
Antoni was in Washington on j six for it in
person meetings with his then employer at an office that
just blocks away from the Capitol, and that he did
not cross any barricades. He did not participate in any demonstrations,
and actually none of the footage shows Antony crossing any
barricades or doing any demonstrating. Quote, these pictures show EJ
Antony a bystander to the events of January sixth, observing
and then leaving the Capital area. That's according to an
emailed statement from the White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers, EJ
was in town for meetings and did his wrong and
defamatory to suggest EJ engaged in anything inappropriate or illegal.
So what I mean the point here is to put
him at the site the day of Jay six That's
the point, right, He's guilty. Trump fired the former BLS
head Erica mcintarfer earlier this month, suggesting without evidence that
she had By the way, you can always tell reporters
always throw that without evidence in order to convey their opinion,
which is that they don't believe what Trump is saying
is true. Okay, that he suggested without evidence that she
had rigged jobs reports for political purposes. The President then
said he would nominate Antony, a frequent guest on Steve
Bannon's War Room podcast. Oh that's it here, it is
right there. Guilty. Do not approve him. Antony said in
an interview with Fox News on August fourth, before his
nomination that the agency should suspend issuing the monthly job report,
instead publishing quarterly data at least until the reports are
more accurate. So when Trump says that these reports are rigged,
are they so? Issues and Insights so website Issuesinsights dot com.
Their editorial board took a look at how bad the
BLS is at doing its job in coming up with
these numbers, they say. In this editorial, we pointed out
last week glaring mistakes that the BLS had made in
recent years and asked whether its foul ups were driven
by politics or inaptitude. The issue came to a head
after Trump fired the previous head of the BLS in
the wake of its massive revisions to the two previous
months jobs reports, in which it admitted to overcounting the
number of jobs created by more than a quarter million.
Trump responded by saying the numbers were rigged. The press
naturally rushed to defend the bureaucrats, saying that revisions are
normal and there's nothing to get worked up about here.
The BLS routinely revises its initial monthly job's estimate which
is based on a survey of one hundred thousand employers. Right,
So they make these revisions over the next two months
as more data comes in. It's no big deal. So
is that true? Issues and Insights decided to find out,
and they went back and reviewed the monthly jobs data
going back to two thousand to nine. Our conclusion, its
initial jobs reports have been absolutely and completely unreliable for years,
often wildly optimistic or wildly pessimistic, regardless of who was president,
So malice or incompetence. In this case, it appears in competence.
In the one hundred and ninety nine months examined, the
BLS's initial estimate of jobs gained or jobs lost missed
the mark by an average of forty nine point six percent,
So they are either overcounting or undercounting by fifty percent.
On average. Only fifteen times out of one hundred and
ninety nine months did its initial estimate come within three
percent of being correct. They conclude their analysis. They say,
in the private sector, an organization that was as consistently
and wildly wrong as the BLS would have been out
of business a long time ago. In Washington. A catastrophic
failure like this usually results, though in a bigger budget.
At least until now, we hope Congress confirms Antoni and
that he cleans up the place. Trump is right that
we deserve honest and accurate jobs numbers. Right, So again
Trump's comments aside, he has identified a problem, which is
the compilation and reporting of these numbers. They're not accurate
and becaust so many things in the marketplace react to
these job reports. You gotta be better. And obviously the
last chief of the BLS could not make it better.
She could not fix it if she even knew that
there was something to be fixed. And Tony, he has
come in the door saying, we're getting rid of the
monthly reports until we can figure out what the hell
is going on. We're going to do quarterly reports and
that's going to be accurate data, which to me seems
like a more prudent path to pursue. But what do
I know. I'm just a little old radio host. All right,
if you're listening to this show, you know I try
to keep up with all sorts of current events, and
I know you do too, And you've probably heard me
say get your news from multiple sources. Why, Well, because
it's how you detect media bias, which is why I've
been so impressed with ground News. It's an app, and
it's a website, and it combines news from around the
world in one place, so you can compare coverage and
verify information. You can check it out at check dot ground,

Queens City News. A new study released by the US
Bureau of Economic Analysis or the BA, or as I
call it, the b A show South Caro Carolina as
the top state in the nation for economic growth and
among the highest in personal income growth. So far, this year,
South Carolina the top state in economic growth. The data
from the BA said the state's growth domestic product. That's
not growth, it's GDP, it's gross domestic product. There but typo,
I guess anyway that it went up by one point
seven percent at an annual rate, and that is number
one in the nation. So give it up South Cacolaca.
Good job everybody with the growth and the growing and
the gross production. Yes, I think North Carolina came in
at like zero point eight. The study also found that construction,
real estate, rental, and leasing were the driving forces in
the state's growth. So construction, real estate, rental, and leasing.
That's from Queen City News. Meanwhile, the gross national debt
has hit a record thirty seven trillion dollars. Good job, everybody.
Let's give it up for Congress on that one. Yes,
taking on way more dead than will ever be able
to pay back. That's fantastic. Maya McGinnis, president of the
Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, which I think at
this point they need to just pack it in. It's
not working. Whatever they're doing, nobody's listening to them, right.
They're literally set up. It's the Committee for a Responsible
Federal budget, and we are now hit. We have now
hit thirty seven trillion in the gross national debt, she said.
It's yet another stunning reminder of the terrible state of
federal finances. Spending and revenue are woefully out of balance,
to the tune of nearly two trillion dollars a year
and rising, and instead of addressing this imbalanced Congress keeps
choosing to make things worse. The reality is that we
would have hit thirty seven trillion dollars in debt months
ago if the administration had not employed a series of
temporary measures to avoid hitting the debt limit before it
could be raised. But instead of using the need to
increase the debt limit as an opportunity to enact debt
reducing fiscal reforms, No, No, that be crazy. Instead, Congress
and the President authorized four trillion dollars more in borrowing
to accompany the five trillion dollar debt limit increase. The debt.
Current debt is now one hundred percent of our economy.
We are on course to spend one trillion dollars this
year just on the interest on the debt. It's now
the second largest item in the budget. It has surpassed
all the spending and it has surpassed medicare. Hopefully, She says,
this milestone is enough to wake up policymakers to the
reality that we need to do something and we need
to do it quickly, which I know they won't. They won't.
If they do anything, it will be to spend more money.
That's that would be my expectation, spend more money positive
development here. Though. The Department of Homeland Security previously estimated
that there are eleven million illegal immigrants in the US
as of January twenty twenty two, which I think that
is an undercount. I think it's probably close to double that.
DHS Secretary Christy Noam says in less than two hundred days,
one point six million illegal immigrants have left the United
States population six million. She said, this is massive. In
two hundred days, one point six million, She says, this
means safer streets, taxpayer savings, pressure off the schools and
hospital services, better job opportunities for Americans.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: This is one of the things that people never take
into account when discussing the economy. And we mentioned we
were talking yesterday about the housing crisis. You know, when
you have twenty million people come across the border illegally,
and they require services, and you know, like and I'm
not talking like government services even, I'm just saying services
like they get injured, they go to the hospital, or
they you know, are driving on roads. They need housing. Right,
all of these things have an impact on the level
of supply that's available for the native born populations demand.
So oh, I've said this before, Like if you're talking about,
oh my gosh, there aren't enough houses being built and
we don't know enough housing, I know a way we
can free up like probably ten to fifteen million housing units, right,
I mean, you're going to see more supply of housing
when people who are not supposed to be here leave.
So people are self deporting, which I'm old enough to
remember when a guy named Mitt Romney I believe was
his name, he said self deportation would be part of
the solution to the illegal immigration crisis. This was back
in twenty twelve, and people were aghast, Oh my gosh,
self deportation, how dary? What a racist? And all of this.
Other people laughed it off, dismissed, Oh, he doesn't know
what he's talking about. What's he going to say next?
That Russia's a major geopolitical folk come on mitt and no,
it turns out, yeah, if you make things unattractive enough
unappealing to stay, people will make the rational choice to leave,
just like when you make it super attractive to come,
the rational choice is to come. Right. People respond to incentives.
Rational people make these decisions to make the voyage, make
the journey, put themselves at risk and in danger to
come to America because they believe that they get here,
they will have economic opportunity, and they will eventually get amnesty,
they will get all of these benefits and services. Right,
They'll want a better life for themselves and their kids
and all of that, all of it. Right. Again, you
don't have to pick. It's not a false choice here, right.
It's not either everybody's coming because they want to commit
crimes or everybody's coming for economic opportunity. It's both. There
are people that come for a whole host of different reasons, right,
And if it becomes untenable for them to stay, if
they are worried about being deported, if they are worried about,
you know, having to live in the shadows and all
of that, then the rational choice would be I'm going
to remove myself from the situation. If you're a criminal,
you may be thinking, Hm, I don't want to get
shipped to l Salvador, so I'm gonna go ahead and
go back home. Right. Those are rational responses. That's what
happens when you create these incentives, and guys like you know,
Tom Holman and Donald Trump and me like I've recognized
this from twenty plus years ago when the illegal immigration
crisis first really started boiling over, when George W. Bush
then tried to float his path to citizenship, his amnesty
plan and got so much blowback, cost him you know,
seats in the Republican House and Senate. So and then
the issue wasn't taken up again until Obama came in
and gave you know, Dreamer status to all of the
deferred action on childhood arrivals, the DHAKA kids. So, but
this is what happens. When you enforce the laws, Then
people don't feel comfortable staying and they will go back
to the better situation. Here's a great idea. How about
making an escape to a really special and secluded getaway
in western North Carolina. Just a quick drive up the
mountain and cabins of Asheville. Is your connection, whether you're
celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon, maybe you want to plan
a memorable proposal, or get family and friends together for
a big old reunion. Cabins of Asheville has the ideal
spot for you where you can reconnect with your loved
ones and the things that truly matter. Nestled within the
breath taking fourteen thousand acres of the Pisga National Forest,
their cabins offer a serene escape in the heart of
the Blue Ridge Mountains. Centrally located between Ashville and the
entrance of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. It's the
perfect balance of seclusion and proximity to all the local
attractions with hot tubs, fireplaces, air conditioning, smart TVs, Wi Fi, grills,
outdoor tables and your own private covered porch. Choose from
thirteen cabins, six cottages, two villas, and a great lodge
with eleven king sized bedrooms. Cabins of Ashville has the
ideal spot for you for any occasion, and they have
pet friendly accommodations. Call or text eight two eight three
six seven seventy sixty eight or check out all there
is to offer at Cabins Offashville dot com. And make
memories that'll last a lifetime. From the text line from
somebody in South Carolina, thirty seven trillion dollars in debt.
That's the milestone, not thirty five or thirty or twenty
three or nineteen or pick a number. Well, yeah, I
mean that's the Yes, they're all milestones, you know. The
lower numbers were milestones when we first hit them. We've
now hit a new milestone. So another anonymous person from
seven oh four number says, the thirty seven trillion dollars
of debt is a direct result of social spending. No
matter what the intent or purpose of a program, it
will always over spend. The funding cost increases faster than
tax revenue can keep up. By default, the social programs
are the deficit money in the federal budget. Yeah, pretty much.
And what social Security expected to be insolvent in about
ten years. And I did see some polling. Gallup found
that young, young voters are interested in reforming Social Security,
which has always been the case because like I've grown
up as a gen xer, I've grown up knowing that
Social Security is probably not going to be there for me.
So I've been pouring money into four one k Ira
that sort of thing, because I have zero expectation that
any of that Social Security money is going to be
there for me. If it is fantastic, but I'm not
counting on it, So I just look at it as
an additional tax that has taken from me to fund
the retiree now, which is it's a wealth transfer to
a generation that's actually much wealthier than I am. And
that's what Social Security is. People think that there's some
sort of an account that your money goes into, and
it's like, oh, that's a lock box. Famously Al Gore's
lock box speech, it's not a lock box, it's not
an account. It's a Ponzi scheme. It's being used to
fund the people who are in it now. And it's
great if you get the funding because you got into
the program early, but those who come in late never
get their money back out. That's why Ponzi schemes are
illegal unless the government runs it right, exactly right. This
might also have something to do with it. Former Transportation
Secretary Pete Booty Gig failed to replace outdated air traffic
control systems while in office with his agency, instead shelling
out tens of billions of dollars on a dei agenda that,
according to federal spending records and airline industry insiders. In
one meeting, Bootagig, who is said to be eyeing a
twenty twenty eight presidential run which he can't win. He can't.
Pete cannot win, Mayor Pete can't win because of the
photo of him eating that that cinnabon. Right, those aren't
chicken wings. People, people thought those were chicken wings. They weren't.
It was a cinnabon he had. He had cut up
a cinnabon into chicken wing sized portions and then ate
it ate each of the portions as if it was
a chicken wing with both hands, like using his you know,
pointer finger, middle finger and thumb, grabs both ends of
the of the bun and eats it and then and
and has this really like maniacal expression on his face
as he's chowing down. I mean, it's it's it's almost worse,
I said, almost. It's almost worse than running for mayor
of New York and using a knife and a fork
to cut your pizza like that is disqualifying. So anyway,
in one meeting, Booty Gig told industry executives that air
traffic control upgrades would just allow them to fly more planes,
and so why would that be in his interest? Yeah,
upgrades will make it more efficient and it'll make it safer, right,
rather than running on these old computer systems and stuff. Anyway,
What his department was really interested in, though, was handing
out hundreds of diversity, equity and inclusion grants totaling more
than eighty billion dollars over four years. That's at least
half of the dot's entire budget for a typical fiscal year.
This is a piece at The New York Post by
John Christensen. Bootajage spent his time in Joe Biden's cabinet
blaming the airlines for their delays and vilifying the industry
as a whole, while denying his department's dei adjenda led
to any air traffic control staffing shortages or was maintaining
an ailing safety system that hasn't been updated since the
Carter administration. That's according to sources who spoke to the Post,
and that the flying public has paid the price. As
one who has flown in the last five years, I
can confirm it stinks. Chris Meagher, a spokesman for Booty
gig rejected both claims and pointed to increased air traffic
controller hiring under the former Transportation as a Big Former
Transportation Big, as well as software changes to improve efficiency
at airport runways, new flight routes projected to cut up
to one hundred hours off travel time annually, and the
development of communications technology to decrease flight delays. Biden's infrastructure
law also gave five billion to improve air traffic facilities, towers,
and power systems. So Meager says, suggest the guy's name
is Meager, which is so on brand. That's that's a
Dickensian name for you, Meager said. Quote suggesting that Secretary
Booty Judge chose not to pursue air traffic control modernization
is absurd. He also said Biden's budget request for fiscal
year twenty five included another eight billion in funding that
Congressional Republicans blocked. The DOTS Bureau of Transportation statistics shows
that most flight cancelations were caused by weather. Fifty four
percent of cancelations caused by weather. That's why I always
fly in the mornings. Shoot, I should not have said
that I always fly in the afternoons. I meant to say,
that's what I meant to say. You should fly in everybody.
You all should fly in the afternoons because there's more
thunderstorms in the afternoons. And once you have some thunderstorms
that you know, pop up over Atlanta or Chicago or something,
and it just sends the ripple effect throughout the whole
Eastern seaboard and then everything gets screwed up. Whereas a
little more than one third of cancelations were attributable to
air carriers, just eleven percent due to failures in the
National Aviation System. Airline industry officials acknowledged that carrier delays
persisted coming out of COVID, but they argued that much
of the infrastructure laws funding went to maintenance of facilities
and equipment, not modernization. They said hiring has improved in
recent years, but there was still a high dropout rate
and surging retirements from veteran air traffic controllers. Eighty billion
dollars for DEI some bang up work, booty jig. You know.

sent a Pete mail. He says, Pete, I think the
word is not milestone. The term is actually millstone, as
in we've got a millstone of debt around our economic next.
That's either one, yeah, either one. It's like tomato tomato.
It's a you know, fort Forte. Either way, I'm fine with. Okay,
this is Spaulding, welcome to the program. Are you getting
the recording equipment set up? What's happening? Hello, Spalding? Are
you gonna do this again? This is day two? Whatever? Yeah,
you need to fix one of your inputs or something, dude,
because like you're not hearing. We're not hearing you come
down the line. I just hear your door closing. And
this is day two. He called in with a different
name yesterday and I think this is Chester, but that's
not as really either. Oh there you are. You're here, okay, yeah, yes,
you are alive on the air, just as a heads
up in case you weren't, because like I've been talking
to you for a little bit now, and so I
just wanted to make you aware you're live on the air.
Speaker 2: I'm multitasking, I got you. Do you know anyone that
has traffic twenty thousand children? And if you did, would
you boast how well you get along with them?
Speaker 1: I do not know anybody that has trafficked twenty thousand
children that I know of. I mean, that is a
disclaimer I have to throw in there because somebody could
be doing that and I may not know that.
Speaker 2: Well, let's say you did.
Speaker 1: Would Well, if I knew somebody was trafficking kids, if
I knew that, I would probably turn them into police. Yeah,
wouldn't you do that too, Chester, wouldn't you do that too?
Speaker 2: Of course?
Speaker 1: Yeah? So can I ask a couple questions for you?
Why do you call in with a different name every day?
Speaker 2: Why not?
Speaker 1: No, I'm just asking why are you doing I'm not
telling you you can't do it. I'm just curious why
you change your name?
Speaker 2: I have schizophrenia, I have different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why would I feel like you're making light of
people with serious mental health disorders that I don't. I
think that's kind of offensive. But like you would know,
there's obviously a reason why you choose a different name.
And I'm just curious why you would do that. And
I don't believe you when you say you're schizophrenic. I'm
curious why, Like, what's the purpose of that?
Speaker 2: What does it say about Trump?
Speaker 1: You don't want to answer my question? I answered your question.
I answered your question. Why can't you answer my question? Why? Why? Like,
what's the what's the benefit of doing that? Why not
just use like your real name or the same name
like what you are you are you afraid of Like
I'm not going to take the call or something.
Speaker 2: No, I just use different names, right, why? Different stations?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Why? I call lots of different.
Speaker 1: Oh, you call lots of different stations. And then do
you take all of these?
Speaker 2: Do you take the cat loves calls?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 1: And then as I understand it, then you take the
audio and you put it onto like a YouTube channel
or something.
Speaker 2: Sometimes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, what's the name of your channel? I'd love
to be able to check it out.
Speaker 2: Uh, the the seminar caller minar.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a hat tip to Rush Limbaugh there, the
seminar caller.
Speaker 2: Very good.
Speaker 1: Okay, so, hey, would would you ever like me to
be a guest on your YouTube show?
Speaker 2: I know, thanks?
Speaker 1: Why not?
Speaker 2: I don't have a show.
Speaker 1: What do you mean you don't have a show. You
just take these audio clips and put them up there.
Do you get a lot of traffic?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I just I just call these, you know, silly
maga hosts. You're like a quasi maga host, well, full
blown maga host.
Speaker 1: Well I don't even know what that means. But so
so the point is what you put the the YouTube
videos up there? I'm assuming it's just audio only. Do
you get good traffic?
Speaker 2: I know, because no YouTube shadow bands me.
Speaker 1: Why would they shadow band you.
Speaker 2: Because Seb Gorka contacted YouTube and reported me for using
his content.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, that's a good idea. Actually, I'd even considered that,
because you are actually taking a broadcast and using it
for monetization.
Speaker 2: Can we can we discuss Donnie?
Speaker 1: No, I was just kind of curious as to like,
what the rationale is? What, like, what's your motivation for
calling in? So now I know? So I appreciate you
going through that with me. So now I know you're
not actually interested in any kind of a discussion of
any kind. You're interested in making content. No, you're not.
You're making You're interested in making some content for a
YouTube channel that nobody sees as.
Speaker 2: A longtime Republican. I'm appalled at what the Republican parties
become and that people like you go along with it.
Speaker 1: And that people I've never dude, I haven't been a
Republican in twenty five years.
Speaker 2: Oh well, then you're an authoritarian.
Speaker 1: I'm a a I'm a libertarian, and that makes me
an authoritarian that you So here's so how often do
you actually listen to the show and the things that
I am saying, Uh, not frequently. See, So how do
you think you have the authority or any kind of Uh,
I don't know basis or evidence to support this opinion
that you've just expressed.
Speaker 2: I don't. You're an out liar because most time and
those shows are like Brett. Most shows are like Brett winnable,
and they all spew out the same nonsense. I really
don't need to listen to the shows to know what
they're going to talk about.
Speaker 1: But you obviously you do because you thought I did
the same thing as Brett, and so I would submit
you probably don't know about Brett's show, because I would
submit you don't listen to his show either. You just
have an assumption about what he might say or what
he might think about.
Speaker 2: Brett quite the boot licker.
Speaker 1: Right, So yeah, So all the whole point here again
is to not have a discussion. It's to create content
for your rarely seeing if ever YouTube channel which now
we know the name of it, which is the Seminar Caller,
which is an insult to you, by the way, But
I know you want to I understand like you're going
to make it your own kind of deal. That's fine,
so very enlightening. But here's the thing, Like, there's really
no point in me continuing to talk to you anymore
because I'm not interested in helping you make content. When
I offered to help you make content, you declined. So
now I'm not going to allow you to use my
show for you to make content either. So fair is fair? Right,
If you're not going to let me on your show,
I probably shouldn't let you on mine, right, I mean,
isn't that fair? I think so? Spalding everybody or what
did he go by yesterday? To remember what he called
in yesterday? As it's the same thing, because like, yeah,
he says he's multitasking, but I suspect he's setting up
the recording equipment. That's been my suspicion and it was confirmed,
and yeah, so Chester is what he originally called in.
And he always has the same sorts of comments about
Donald Trump. But he doesn't even know what I think
about Donald Trump on any given issue, or doesn't listen
to the show. But he thinks he knows my opinions
about things because he doesn't listen, which makes total sense.
And I really believe you that you're a Republican. All right.
That'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much
