Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Tuesday, September 9th.
00:00:05.380
Last week, President Trump says he was going to release a damning report this week
00:00:08.860
about the Bureau of Labor Statistics and how they may have been manipulating data.
00:00:16.540
The U.S. economy added nearly a million fewer jobs in the year through March of 2025
00:00:24.600
This is according to preliminary figures released this afternoon by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
00:00:33.020
It suggests jobs growth during that period was running at roughly half the pace initially believed.
00:00:38.940
Is it possible that the Biden regime and the BLS under Joe Biden was manipulating numbers
00:00:45.000
to make it look like Joe Biden was running a better economy than he really was?
00:00:50.140
Well, I'm not alleging that, I'm just merely thinking about why it could be off by so much.
00:00:54.880
The BLS said payrolls will likely be revised down by about 911,000 jobs or 0.6%.
00:01:01.980
That reduces total employment gains for the 12 months ending in March to about 850,000
00:01:08.220
compared to the about 1.8 million that was originally reported.
00:01:13.380
On a seasonally adjusted average, monthly job growth dropped from 147,000 to just over 70,000.
00:01:19.940
Now, the downward adjustment hits nearly every industry in most states.
00:01:24.540
Wholesale and retail trade accounted for the largest share of shortfall, followed by leisure and hospitality,
00:01:29.940
professional and business services, and manufacturing.
00:01:34.220
The Biden regime caught lying once again with their hand in the cookie jar.
00:01:37.880
Speaking of Marxist Dems, every time you think CNN can't drop any lower, somehow they manage to do it.
00:01:45.620
In the case of the brutal murdering of the Ukrainian refugee, Irana Zartuska,
00:01:49.860
CNN's Brian Stelter seems to think that the real tragedy in this situation is racism.
00:01:57.400
Specifically, the racism of Trump supporters for noticing this crime.
00:02:02.160
This is a new low, folks, from CNN, and certainly a new low for Brian Stelter.
00:02:07.160
Take a listen to Brian Stelter on with his fellow Marxist idiots
00:02:11.680
as he alleges the Trump MAGA crowd is to blame for this killing.
00:02:17.980
Really, over the weekend, Elon Musk, Charlie Kirk, other Trump-aligned figures
00:02:21.980
succeeded in making this senseless death a symbol of big city crime.
00:02:27.060
We heard President Trump asked about it yesterday when he was heading home from New York City.
00:02:32.520
He said he would get briefed, and then today, Trump did know all about it.
00:02:36.940
This story has trickled up from local news to social media and now to the president's attention.
00:02:42.840
And it's being used, as you said, Brianna, as a political symbol,
00:02:45.300
with MAGA media calling for more forceful punishments and more incarceration.
00:02:50.040
I have to say, some of the replies to Musk, some of the comments around this story,
00:02:53.940
are baldly racist, stoking fear of African Americans because this man attacked a white woman.
00:03:00.160
The open racism on sites like X today, it's eye-popping.
00:03:03.580
But there are also legitimate questions about this so-called career criminal,
00:03:09.760
And those questions, I hope they're not lost amid all of the cesspool kind of comments on social media.
00:03:15.140
As I said, folks, a new low for CNN, a new low for Brian Stelter.
00:03:25.880
How that man still has a job absolutely surprises me.
00:03:29.460
FBI Director Kash Patel revealing this week that the FBI has, in fact, been investigating this stabbing
00:03:37.280
on that train in Charlotte, North Carolina, resulting in the death of that Ukrainian refugee.
00:03:43.920
Absolutely sad, devastating, and a tragedy to happen from this criminal,
00:03:49.740
this career-long criminal who has been arrested over a dozen times
00:03:54.400
and released on the streets by these rogue Marxist judges.
00:03:58.380
They need to be held accountable for their actions.
00:04:02.160
The Israeli Defense Forces said this afternoon it has attacked Hamas leadership in Doha, Qatar.
00:04:07.660
The IDF and the ISA conducted a precise strike targeting the senior leadership of Hamas' terrorist organization,
00:04:13.940
this according to the Israeli military group on X.
00:04:17.140
For years, these members of the Hamas leadership have led the terrorist organization's operation
00:04:21.140
and are directly responsible for the brooder October 7th massacre
00:04:25.360
and have been orchestrating and managing the war against the state of Israel.
00:04:30.020
The leaders of Hamas, the Palestinian group which Israel has been at war with for nearly two years,
00:04:34.860
have their headquarters outside of Gaza for years.
00:04:37.160
A senior Hamas official telling CNN, go figure, CNN in contact with Hamas,
00:04:44.280
Hamas chief negotiator Khalil al-Hayah was meeting with the prime minister of Qatar
00:04:52.440
