An Indefensible Thing

Today on The Blind Spot, we zero in on Trump’s firing of the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics — a petty, thin-skinned move straight out of the authoritarian playbook that shreds the credibility of every jobs report going forward. I walk through how the numbers actually work, why revisions are normal, and how this stunt poisons the well for business, government, and anyone who needs real data. From there we rip apart the flimsy partisan defenses, call out both parties’ habit of protecting “their guy” no matter what, and still leave room to torch bad livestream culture, break down Trump’s tariff wall, and make a wild prediction about an AI-driven economic boom. It’s a full hour of policy, profanity, and a reminder that if you kill the messenger, you kill the message. Enjoy!
