OMFG trump’s crashing out
FULL TRANSCRIPT
just saw Peter Navaro get interviewed on
Bloomberg as to why why would the BLS
fail so miserably in their jobs report.
Is it because they're being political or
do they just suck at their jobs? In this
video, I'm going to give you a breakdown
of what nobody's actually telling you
about why these numbers suck as much as
they do. Jack, where are we going, by
the way?
>> We're going to Japan. That's right, cuz
we're sick of trying to this crap. We're
getting out of here. But remember, never
forget, release the files. Expires
tonight at 11:59. Meet Kevin. Get
lifetime access. Meet Kevin.com. Get the
course. Okay, so listen. Here's what's
going on. So Peter Navaro gets on
Bloomberg and tells us, look, the BLS
chief had to be fired by Donald Trump,
which is totally like a classic
dictatory move, but it's okay. You know,
I'm not trying to be like anti-MAGA
here. I'm trying to get everybody to
piss me off. That's my goal. Okay,
that's why I said that. I did it on
purpose so you could get mad at me. The
Supreme Court basically gave him a
license to do that. So in fairness, the
Supreme Court's like, "Yo, bro, if you
don't like the heads of your, you know,
agencies, you have the right to fire
them. Just don't touch the Federal
Reserve because if you touch the head of
the Federal Reserve, you were touching a
quasi governmental unique governmentish
agency that you should not be touching."
The Supreme Court was very specific
about that. Now, this is where a lot of
people get into like, why are we paying
for the Federal Reserve? Usually, the
Federal Reserve actually pays us when
they pay out like zero on their deposits
uh and they hold treasuries that earn
yield and they just give all that extra
profit back to the United States. Things
have reversed now because we're paying
out on money markets essentially, right?
Zero uh zero risk money markets at four
and a half. we're paying out way more
than you might earn on certain
treasuries which might only be yielding
like 39 on a two-year, right? So that's
where the Fed loses money. Anyway,
that's really beside the point. What
what really matters here is what is
Peter Navaro saying and what is he
missing? So what Peter Navaro is doing
is he's saying look the Bureau of Labor
Statistics obviously sucks because
either and this is why Donald Trump not
only is eligible to fire the head of the
BLS because of the Supreme Court
standard uh and ruling, but also because
of the two factors. Number one, they
either suck at doing their job because
they're politically manipulating the
data to try to make Donald Trump look
bad. Donald Trump prefers that argument.
Or number two, they are just incompetent
and fail at collecting data. So why do
you need more context to this? Because
obviously politically that's a very easy
thing to say. Oh, this is either uh
designed to be political or these people
just suck. Okay. Well, what if it's
neither of those? Is that possible? Yes,
it actually is. The reason it's possible
is the following.
When the Bureau of Labor Statistics
releases labor reports, they generally
release job reports on the first Friday
of a month. In this case, it was
literally August 1st, which means they
are really only reporting realistically
data that they've collected for the
first 3 weeks of July. And the reality
is Americans are really bad at turning
in these labor surveys or picking up the
phone to answer the phone calls from the
surveyors who conduct surveys on either
employers via the payroll survey, the
establishment survey, or the household
survey where they call people at their
homes, right? problem is when that rate
plummets to like a 30% response rate,
you get really big holes in the data.
And 6 weeks later when people call you
and go, "Oh, hey, yeah, I know you
reached out for information about what
happened in June. Sorry I got busy in
life and I didn't get back to you for,
you know, six extra weeks. Here's what
actually happened at our business or
here's how many jobs I have." Then they
have the concrete data that finally
trickled in and they're like, "Oh, all
right." Then you have your first set of
revisions, but then you still don't have
a 100% response rate. So you use new
data that comes in over time as well as
making revisions every quarter for that
black hole of data you have to try to
understand, oh, okay, what's actually
going on in the labor market? Guess how
many people who get deported answer the
phone call from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics? Like zero. So all of these
things have to get filled in with
adjustments. And these adjustments are
really hard. Now look, I'm not here to
shill for the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, but let's just make this
like hands down as simple as possible.
collecting data and giving you jobs data
on the country
uh at at the moment of uh uh you know
the first Friday of the very next month
is insane. This is why ADP volatility
the private survey which they literally
use payrolls data because they're a
payroll processing company
even they can't get it straight. They
make revisions and even they have insane
volatility. So when you put all of that
together, it's the private companies
have trouble doing this. So what you're
asking of these entities is actually
really hard. But nobody gives a flying
hoodie about any of that. All people
care about is Democrats are going to go,
"Ah, see it's maggot policies back at it
again." These planes are so sick coming
in. They're so big, man. I love
>> two story. I love the big pee pees.
>> Hey yo,
>> I guess it's not technically a private
plane. Anyway, so um Lauren's getting
anxious. She's got that anxious look. We
should get going. Let's let's get going.
Uh so then, uh okay, then you got the
MAGA folks that are like, "Oh, this is
just the Biden economy. They're
purposefully trying to screw us." The
data is always volatile. And guess when
it is most volatile, when it is painful
to report payrolls data, when you're
losing your job or you're an employer
and you're having to fire people, that's
when you least want to report data.
That's when you least want to answer the
phone. That's when you least want to
report to these or respond to these
surveys because you're like, I I don't
have time for this. I've got I've got to
just make ends meet, right? That's what
it comes down to. So, we got to go.
Yeah. Here, take mine. You need
passports, too? Oh, yeah. Here you go. I
understand. Would you mind taking that
and then take this as well? Jack, hold
on a second. Let me finish my video. All
right, there you go. All the Okay, cool.
So, um,
what does this mean? Like, what's the
bottom line takeaway for all of this?
Well, you have to also remember what
just happened. We just had somebody who
quit at the Federal Reserve, Cougler.
She was a Biden appointee. She was a
voting member at the Fed. I think she
was probably pressured out. Donald Trump
doesn't like people telling him the
reality of what's happening in the world
if unless it aligns with exactly what he
wants. This means expect more
volatility. Now, best case scenario, we
keep people like JPO and independent
people as long as possible who at least
have some coonas to fight back a little
bit so at least we can get somewhat of
neutral data. Hopefully. Hopefully.
Everybody's got bias, right? Let's just
be real about that. My biggest fear is
what happens when we get two years down
the road and let's say we're in a deep
recession or whatever and everybody's
been replaced with knee benders. How are
we ever going to trust the comeback?
Right? That's the hardest part. And
that's why we try to get politics out of
data. It's why we try to get politics
out of the Fed so that yes, when you go
through the normal phase of the business
cycle, at least when you're on the
comeback, you can trust it. You could
believe in it. these kind of
appointments or firings or whatever make
that harder. Now, I don't know the head
of the BLS, so who knows? Maybe they
screwed up. And frankly, the data has
been all freaking over the place. Again,
it makes sense when the data is most
critical, when it is most important to
get the most accurate data. We get the
lowest survey responses and the least
accurate data. And I'll tell you,
there's only one thing that we can
guarantee. Number one, you could
subscribe to this guy. What's What's
your channel name?
>> Meet Jack.
>> Meet Jack. And you could use coupon code
release the files before 11:59 tonight.
>> Also, you should call it a plane plane.
Like it's just like a regular plane.
Like a plane.
>> A plane plane. OP. P. Yeah. Plane plane.
>> But do you get it? Like it's not just
like the plane like the aircraft like
one's the plane that's the aircraft and
one's like just like a plane.
>> Oh, it's generic. Like if like a plain
white vanilla plane.
>> Wow. You got anything to say?
>> Nope.
>> Comment the video. Oh, she's ducking.
She's ducking away. But look at that
beautiful hair.
Get off.
