RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
>> Us and we had higher inflation then than we had now. So the point I‘m saying is you can‘t play fast and loose with certain facts and expect the electorate to go along with you when they know it‘s not true.
>> I agree that‘s why they elected him, because the American people realized how bad it was when Joe Biden was president, and they realized that they were being lied to, for example, about the job numbers. I‘m old enough to remember when they lied about 818,000 jobs in the jobs.
>> Report.
>> When the job report number of the last quarter of last year, they had to refine them back about a million jobs. They lied about.
>> Let me just correct you, please. Because first of all, you are saying that the Biden Administration lied about the jobs numbers. That is false. There are revisions that don‘t don‘t pull out your Google.
>> No, it‘s a house budget gov that literally says you‘re wrong. My god. 818,000 fewer jobs added than the economy previously reported. That is from our.
>> Governors are not that is not the Biden Administration lying about the jobs numbers. There are economic jobs.
>> Definition of.
>> Fact checking. Excuse me, but it is job number revisions that happen every single month. And then annually there are job number revisions that also happen, a revision of that size was very similar to a revision of the job numbers. That also happened in was it 2009? I believe it was.
>> It‘s ultimately it‘s.
>> The rebalancing.
>> Of the numbers.
>> Evan Osnos then stop every year, the job numbers are revised. Sometimes they‘re revised up, sometimes they are revised down. The president is not responsible for putting out those numbers, good or bad.
>> So the Biden Administration did not lie when they said there were focused thousand.
>> Jobs.
>> They did not.
>> Stop with the Biden Administration. We are in the Trump Administration.
>> Explain why the Trump Administration.
>> I just think, honestly, let‘s stop for a second, because that is very, very dishonest.
>> It‘s not.
>> Dishonest.
>> True or false. There were 800.
>> And so you tell.
>> Me that.
>> Hold on.
>> Hold on.
>> You tell me that it did. The Trump Administration lie about the job numbers over the summer that have been revised down? Did they lie?
>> Not to the point of 818,000. But you‘re saying.
>> That‘s not what I asked you? Did they lie?
>> I go.
>> Back on America today.
>> I‘m okay with that. Revisions. These were made up lies to the American people. You are an Election Day.
>> I‘m sorry.
>> I‘m sorry. An election.
>> Day, my friend. You are lying.
>> I‘m not lying.
>> Because these.
>> When Joe Biden came out and said these jobs.
>> Are created.
>> This is exhausting.
>> It is exhausting.
>> This is why you guys lost the election. This is exactly why we lost the election.
>> That‘s not the point. All these other. Let me make one other factual point, because I think this is super important. Donald Trump ran on lowering the cost of goods. He also ran on a manufacturing renaissance in this country. Guess what has not happened? Manufacturing in the last. In this most recent jobs report has been down 6000 jobs. And since the top of the year, we have a chart that you can see. This is the trajectory. It was going up a little bit in January, and since then it has been going down.
