1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: It just shows you when you can get every story, 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: one hundred percent of the stories, no matter what you do, 3 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:05,680 Speaker 1: that's good. 4 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 2: They make it as bad as possible. But the fake 5 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 2: news hit me with eggs. 6 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: Remember the first week, four days, eggs are through the roof. 7 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 3: I said, I just got here. 8 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 2: What's going on with eggs? 9 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 3: Tell me I didn't hear about it. 10 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 4: If you're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with 11 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 4: Ben Ferguson. 12 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 5: Happy before the July so nice to have you with 13 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 5: us on the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got 14 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 5: exciting news, including the fact that at five o'clock Donald 15 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 5: Trump is going to sign the Big Beautiful Bill in 16 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 5: the law. We also are going to cover another big story, 17 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 5: and that is how everyone got it wrong with the 18 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 5: jobs numbers that show a major resurgence in our economy. 19 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 5: It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now. 20 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 4: Story number one. 21 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 5: Congratulations America, you just got the biggest tax deduction of 22 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 5: your lifetime after Congress sent Donald Trump the Big Beautiful 23 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 5: Bill to his desk after a dramatic all night House vote. 24 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 2: If you missed it because. 25 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 5: It was an all nighter, this is what it sounded 26 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 5: like when Speaker Johnson walked up to the best job 27 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 5: there is in Washington right now, that job of him 28 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 5: being in charge of passing the big beautiful bill in 29 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 5: the House. And here is what he said, and listened 30 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 5: to the reaction in the room on the floor of 31 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 5: the House, so. 32 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: He had to impose a deadline. It just happened to 33 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 2: coincide with our two and forty. 34 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 6: Nine birthdayser to eighteen the laser two fourteen. 35 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 2: The motion is adopted with that objection. 36 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 6: The motion to reconsider is laid on the table. 37 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 5: There it is the House passing a big beautiful bill, 38 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 5: chanting ussay, ussay, ussay. Now, don't get too excited. Only 39 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 5: half the room was chanting at ussay. The other side 40 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 5: of the room was angry. That would be your socialist, 41 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 5: communists and Marxist masquerading as the Democratic Party. And it 42 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,839 Speaker 5: didn't take long to hear exactly what the President's plans were. 43 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 5: After the Republicans delivered, the President said, I'm signing this 44 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 5: sucker Friday afternoon at the White House five o'clock Eastern. Yes, 45 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 5: and an effort to delay Thursday's vote. The majority leader, 46 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 5: by the way, didn't want there to be a fourth 47 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 5: of July celebration. Hakim Jeffries, that Democrat from New York, 48 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 5: spoke for eight hours and forty four minutes, breaking a 49 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 5: record for the longest House floor speech. Jeffrey decried what 50 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 5: he said were terrible cuts to things like Medicaid and yes, 51 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 5: we did cut of legal immigrants from abusing the program. 52 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 5: He also said this was the worst legislation and it 53 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 5: was a quote crime scene from the floor of the House. Meanwhile, 54 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 5: Donald Trump went to Iowa to showcase next year's celebration 55 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 5: of the nation's two hundred and fiftieth birthday. So there's 56 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 5: two different Americas right now, the one where Democrats hate 57 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 5: you getting more of your money, and there are others 58 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 5: on the other side that are celebrating the largest tax 59 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 5: break the American population in my lifetime has ever seen. 60 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 5: The present making it clear that it is his job 61 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 5: to do whatever it takes to get our economy rolling again. 62 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 5: And when the Republicans had their press conference and the 63 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 5: Leader of the House, the Speaker, came to the podium, 64 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 5: here's what he had to say. 65 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 6: This is the vote tally card. We're gonna frame this one, 66 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 6: Okay to eighteen two fourteen. Listen I'm not gonna give 67 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 6: you a long speech. A lot has been said today, 68 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 6: and these people are exhausted. A couple of us quite 69 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 6: literally haven't slept in two days. So I'm a danger 70 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 6: to myself and others right now. I'm not gonna I'm 71 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 6: not gonna speak off the cup. I'll just say this. 72 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 6: I mean, many if you have asked me this question 73 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 6: in the hall of the last couple of days, but 74 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 6: when it looked like that we might actually deliver this thing, 75 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 6: particularly this morning, how did you know? I mean what, 76 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 6: what what kept you going? Why did you did? Why 77 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 6: did you think this was possible? You guys made an 78 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 6: audacious plan. You brought the most comprehensive, complicated piece of 79 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 6: legislation probably arguably in the top two or three in 80 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 6: the history of the Congress, with the smallest margin in 81 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 6: US history, which we had for big chunk of the 82 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 6: first hundred days. And you and you put this audacious timeline. 83 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 6: You said you're going to pass it out of the 84 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 6: House by Memorial Day. I mean some of you openly 85 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 6: laughed at me when I said that back in early February. 86 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 6: And then we said we would get it done by 87 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 6: July fourth. We beat Memorial Day by four days, and 88 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 6: we got this one done a day early. I just 89 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 6: want to point out, Okay, I got to schedule the 90 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 6: under watch. So the question was, I mean, like, why 91 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 6: why did you do that? Why did you think that 92 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 6: was possible? Because it just it sums up. I was 93 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 6: someb it up with one word, it's it's belief. Okay. 94 00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 6: We had a vision for what we want to do 95 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 6: as a group. We believed in the election cycle last 96 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 6: fall that we were going to be given this great 97 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,119 Speaker 6: blessing of unified government, that we would have the White 98 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 6: House and the Senate and the House aligned and alignment 99 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 6: unified government. And we did not want to waste that 100 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 6: opportunity because we understand the history that comes along with it, 101 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 6: the opportunity that we can do for the country, and 102 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 6: we believe that we would have that chance. And then 103 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 6: I believe in the people that are standing here behind me. 104 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 6: I believe in this group, every single one of them individually. 105 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 6: Some of them are more fun to deal with than others. 106 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 3: You know. 107 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 6: I mean that with the greatest level of respect. I 108 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 6: love every single one of my colleagues, you know, even 109 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 6: the ones I gotta spend the more time with right, 110 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 6: because everybody's here, their motive is right, their heart is right. 111 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 6: They're trying to do right for their constituents. They're trying 112 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 6: to serve the greatest nation and the history of the 113 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 6: world that we're going to celebrate tomorrow. We don't take 114 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 6: that lightly. I know their hearts, and I know what 115 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 6: their skill sets are, and I know what they bring 116 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 6: to the table, and I get up every day excited 117 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 6: because I know that each of them are going to 118 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 6: bring that to the table and they're going to serve 119 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 6: their constituents. You could not have a greater group of 120 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 6: public servants in the People's in this room right here. 121 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 6: They will give their all for this country, and man, 122 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 6: that's what the Framers intended when they put this thing 123 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 6: together two hundred and forty nine years ago. This is 124 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 6: what it was about. So I believe, I believed in 125 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 6: this vision. I believed in the group. I believe in America. 126 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 6: I believe we had a RAI station. I'm gonna say 127 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 6: this very simply, and everybody here would articulate it in 128 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 6: their own way. We had a tough four years before 129 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 6: this last election cycle. America was in We're in deep 130 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 6: trouble and we knew that if we won, and we 131 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 6: believe we would, we knew that if we got unified government, 132 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 6: we'd have to quite literally fix every area of public policy. 133 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 6: Everything was an absolute disaster under the Biden Harris radical woke, 134 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 6: progressive Democrat regime. And we took the best effort that 135 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 6: we could in one big, beautiful bill to fix as 136 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 6: much of it. 137 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 2: As we could. 138 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 6: And I am so grateful to God that we got 139 00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 6: that done as we did because of the dedication. Yeah, lastly, 140 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 6: it's no secret I do believe in God. I believe 141 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 6: in that motto that I've referenced in the floor speech 142 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 6: of a while ago. I believe that that is what 143 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 6: has made our nation the greatest in the history of 144 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 6: the world. And some people shake their heads and they 145 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 6: think that's old fashioned or something. That is a fact. 146 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 6: When the Framers put this together, they stepped out in faith. 147 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 6: They did something that no nation had ever done before. 148 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 6: The great statesman philosopher G. K. Chesterson, a great Britain, 149 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 6: said America is the only nation in the world it 150 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 6: was founded upon a creed, and he said it's listed 151 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 6: with almost theological lucidity or clarity in the nation's birth certificate. 152 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 6: The Declaration of Independence. We owed these trees to be 153 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 6: self but evident that we recognize, we boldly proclaim the 154 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 6: self evident truth that our rights do not come from 155 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 6: the government. They come from God himself. He's the one 156 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 6: that gave us our rights. 157 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 3: That's got. 158 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 6: Abraham Lincoln sad in the Gettysburg Address. We are dedicated 159 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 6: to this proposition, one nation under God, a government of 160 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 6: the people, by the people, for the people, shall not 161 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 6: perish from the earth. This is an experiment. It's only 162 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 6: two hundred and forty nine years, y'all. That's not a 163 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 6: long span of time in human history. It's just a 164 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 6: real blip on the whole scale of human history. It 165 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 6: is up to us to say it. It's up to 166 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 6: the duly elected representatives of the people to come here 167 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 6: and represent and it's up to every single one of us, 168 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 6: of the people, by the people, for the people, all 169 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 6: of us. So you've got to be engaged, and we 170 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 6: got to pass this along in the next generation. Reagan 171 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 6: reminded us freedom's not inherited in the bloodstream. It's got 172 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 6: to be protected, it's got to be bought for, it's 173 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 6: got to be taught to the next generation. So that 174 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 6: they will have the same liberty, opportunity and security that 175 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 6: we have all known and too often take it for granted. 176 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 6: So I just want to say, we're going to get 177 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 6: to the main event here. We're about to sign this 178 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 6: bill and get it over to the White House. 179 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 5: Okay, Speaker Johnson, making it clear that the Republican Party, 180 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 5: as slim as the majority as in the House, is 181 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 5: working together to deliver on all of these important issues. 182 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 5: As for the President of United States of America, he 183 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 5: couldn't be happier to deliver to the American people on 184 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 5: the fourth of July a massive bill that protects families 185 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 5: and allows. 186 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 2: You to keep more of your money in your own pocket. 187 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 4: Now, story number two. 188 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 5: It's amazing what happens when you get a real president 189 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 5: in the White House, the President Donald Trump in office. 190 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 5: The US economy is continuing to revitalize and grow. It's 191 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 5: no longer the fake numbers that we know were given 192 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 5: out by Joe Biden, where they just lied and made 193 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 5: up hundreds of thousands of jobs that never existed. Yeah, 194 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 5: we found out that they created nearly a million jobs 195 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 5: that didn't exist just to try to get them re elected. 196 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 5: Remember when they were talking about the build back better days. Yeah, 197 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 5: and Bidenomics, well, it was a disaster, but under Donald Trump. 198 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 5: The June job report showed another massive win for the 199 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 5: American people. It's once again exceeding expectations big time. Now, 200 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 5: the best part of all with all of that this 201 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 5: news is how the media is well having to deal 202 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 5: with it. Fox News dealt with it the appropriate way 203 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 5: by giving you good news. In fact, they made it 204 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 5: pretty short, just twenty six seconds when the numbers came 205 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 5: out about job growth. 206 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 2: Take a listen, it's a. 207 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 7: Fox News alert. The June jobs report just released and 208 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 7: it shows the US added one hundred and forty seven 209 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 7: thousand jobs last month. That is stronger than expected. Revisions 210 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 7: to April and May reports also show sixteen thousand more 211 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 7: jobs created than previously reported and the unemployment rate unexpectedly 212 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 7: falling to four point one percent. So a strong report. Guys, 213 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 7: that's good news heading into this holiday weekend. 214 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 5: Good news right heading into the weekend. Great way of 215 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 5: putting it. But what did they actually say at other 216 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 5: networks when they had to deal with the reality that 217 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 5: US job growth continued at a steady pace last month, 218 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 5: surprising many of the doom and gloom economists right, that 219 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 5: had actually predicted rooting against America and the president a 220 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 5: slowed down in hiring amid what they said was well 221 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 5: Donald Trump's insane trade war in his fiscal policy. Well, 222 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 5: here's how CNN had to report it to you. Enjoy it. 223 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 2: You expected some of this, but this is better than. 224 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 3: Expected, Yeah, Sarah, it is. Look, this jobs market is 225 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 3: like the energizer bunny. Every single time we expected to 226 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 3: run out of steam, it just keeps going and going. 227 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 3: So these new numbers show that the US economy added 228 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 3: one hundred and forty seven thousand jobs in June. That 229 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 3: was well ahead of the expectation of about one hundred 230 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 3: and eighteen thousand, well ahead of some whispers that we 231 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 3: heard on Wall Street of a sub one hundred thousand number. 232 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,119 Speaker 3: So this is indeed beating expectations. We were also expecting 233 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 3: a slowdown, we did not get that. This is basically 234 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 3: in line with May, which was revised higher. 235 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 2: It's also good news. 236 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 3: The unemployment rate was expected to go up. It didn't. 237 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 3: It went down to four point one percent. That is 238 00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 3: a very healthy number. This is still relatively his store low, 239 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 3: and again it's below the four point three percent that 240 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 3: we had expected. 241 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 2: You just got to laugh. 242 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 5: Even CNN, in their own words, says their quote, we 243 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 5: were expecting a slow down. We did not get that. 244 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 5: These numbers are what we got without passing the big 245 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 5: beautiful bill. So what does that mean? You could expect 246 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 5: the numbers to get even better now. CNN's John Bergman 247 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 5: was pained to tell his audience the predictions of the 248 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 5: job losses right, which means people are actually out of work, 249 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 5: that's terrible for families, and the inflation due to terror policy, 250 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 5: well they were wrong. 251 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 2: Here's how he described it again. 252 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: Since you know, March and before, there were predictions that 253 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: the terroriffs and I granted a lot of them have 254 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: been pulled back, most of them pulled back. But all 255 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: that terror of policy was going to lead perhaps to inflation, 256 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: would lead to job losses, predictions of doom. 257 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 2: That doom just hasn't happened yet. 258 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 8: It hasn't happened. And you know, John, I've been doing 259 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 8: a lot of reporting on this topic. What I'm hearing 260 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 8: is that for the last few year, really since COVID, 261 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 8: but even before, companies have realized that their supply chains 262 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 8: can be interrupted for lots of reasons. For a virus 263 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 8: for a geopolitical event, for a war, for a climate event. 264 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 8: And so they've been using technology to really streamline things. 265 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 8: They've been getting their their systems in place, and there's 266 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 8: just a lot more efficiency in the system now. In 267 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 8: some ways, I think this is a triumph of business 268 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 8: and how business has been optimizing. 269 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 6: Now. 270 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 8: That said, when we think about who's going to do 271 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 8: well in this period, it's going to be big businesses. 272 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 8: I am hearing that there's more pressure on small and 273 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 8: mid sized businesses that will be far less able to 274 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 8: cope with whatever tariff inflationary impact we do see. That 275 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 8: concerns me because small and mid sized businesses are what 276 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 8: fuels a lot of communities around the country. If you 277 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 8: see them going under because they can't take even a 278 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 8: little bit of teriff pressure that could have a job's impact. 279 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 8: So again, optimistic right now, but it's you know, there 280 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 8: are some issues on the horizon. 281 00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 2: Still, don't worry. 282 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 5: We still have if you're doom and gloom for you 283 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 5: that you know it could be just around the corner. 284 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 5: Even though we got this one completely wrong, you gotta 285 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 5: wonder how much they really hate America when this is 286 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 5: the type of commentary you get, I mean this type 287 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 5: of commentary. It's truly incredible. You hear it, and they're 288 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 5: really not happy that more Americans are at work now 289 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 5: than we've seen in a long time. 290 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 2: Don't worry. 291 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 5: We've got President Donald Trump in the White House, Republicans 292 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 5: in charge in the Senate and the House, and that 293 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 5: should make everyone happy. 294 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 4: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 295 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 4: with Ben Ferguson.
