Transcript

[A]

It's disappointing. I'm Dave Anthony, FOX News. That's what the White House economic adviser is saying about the jobs report out showing just 22,000 were created. Last month, the expectation was 75,000. The unemployment rate ticked up a tenth to 4.3%. Here's what the labor secretary, Laurie Chavez Darimer, just told FOX Business.

[B]

Jerome Powell should be embarrassed by this report because he has not done his job.

[A]

Calling on the Federal Reserve chairman to cut interest rates like President Trump has been demanding for months.

[B]

22,000 jobs underperformed just a bit, but it's still in the positive. Almost a half a million jobs have been created since the president took office. It's going to take some time.

[A]

Hiring for June and July was revised down slightly, but not like the massive revision slower we got for prior months in the July report, which prompted the president to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. On Wall street, stocks have been rising despite the morning report and The S&P 500 hit a new record high. Illinois Governor J.B. pritzker, a Democrat, warns he'll file a lawsuit as soon as President Trump deploys the National Guard to Chicago to crack down on crime. Like in Washington, D, where the troop patrol has been extended through November. The D.C. attorney General has gone to court trying to stop what he calls unlawful federal overreach.

[C]

White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson, she hit back, stating this this lawsuit is nothing more than another attempt at the detriment of D.C. residents and visitors to undermine the president's highly successful operations. New numbers here. Since August 7th, according to the White House, over 1800 arrests have been made, 16 no gang members have been arrested, five missing children have been recovered and 188 firearms have been se.

[A]

Fox's Alexandria Hoff @ the White House, where later today President Trump plans to sign an executive order to rebrand the Department of Defense so they can call it by its old name again, the War Department. And Pete Hegseth will now be referred to as secretary of War, though it would take an act of Congress to formally change the defense name. America's listening to Fox News.

All right, back to Wall street, where stocks are rising despite the worse than expected jobs report, which could help lead to an interest rate cut later this month. The dow is up 34 points. The Nasdaq is gaining 98. The S&P 500, which hit a record high earlier this morning, is now up 9 points. The price of oil has been down a dollar back to about 62 bucks a barrel. Gas is up a fraction. But AAA's national average for regular remains $3.20 per gallon. And while that is 4 cents higher than a month ago, it's a dime cheaper than we were paying a year ago. There's been another controversial illegal immigration raid, this one in Georgia at a manufacturing plant for Hyundai.

[E]

This is one of ICE's largest immigration raids in history as they detained around 450 immigrants here. Law enforcement cars from several agencies were lining the street yesterday. People inside the Hyundai plant at the time told local reporters ICE came in with multiple military vehicles. They say the feds scoured through cars. People were running, hopping fences and buses filled with people were seen leaving the site. According to local reports, this raid halted construction of a factory being built to produce electric vehicle batteries.

[A]

That's fox's Madison Scarpino. And the Trump immigration crackdown is expanding into health care.

[F]

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is looking through payments covering health care for immigrants in the country illegally, citing a need to maintain fiscal integrity. Federal officials have sent letters to state health care agencies in California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Oregon and Washington state telling them they're reviewing federal and state payments for medical services like prescription drugs and specialty care. 20 states have already sued the Trump administration for handing over Medicaid data on millions of enrollees to deportation officials. A federal judge has temporarily stopped that data transfer. TONYA J.
