It's Jim Kramer here. You're listening to the opening bell of CBC squawk on the street.

Don't miss a minute of the action.

I think when somebody says the commissioner is not involved, I don't want to get into any arguments with anybody.

Why should I? She's a very nice woman.

But when they say that nobody was involved, that it wasn't political.

Give me a break.

It's a highly political situation.

It's totally rigged.

Smart people know it.

People with common sense know it.

And a lot of people like to keep their head under the covers.

That was President Trump in the last hour, of course, here on CNBC, sounding off about the jobs data, his firing of the BLS chief. Good Tuesday morning. Welcome to Squamuck on the Street. I'm David Faber. That's Jim Kramer. We're live from post nine at the New York Stock Exchange. Carl has the morning off. Let's give you a look at futures as we get ready to start trading on this Tuesday. You can see we are looking for what

very modestly higher open this morning, Jim. Let's start with the president's appearance on

CNBC in the last hour. I mean, again, you and I discussed this yesterday. He continues to say

that he used the words rigged. It's political, there's nothing at all that

seems to back up that contention.

Plenty of people who certainly say the methods by which we collect the data, you included

amongst those, needs to change.

But no one that I'm aware of who said that they believe in any way these numbers are rigged.

That said, the market yesterday did not react at all to this firing in the way that perhaps

some might have believed it would in the sense of undermining the data in the future.

Right. I mean, look, I think that the market looked at the numbers and said, well, things have slowed.
