Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the Find out podcast. We've got big, big topics today.

0:20.0

We're going to have Congressman

0:21.1

Greg Kesar on later in the show talking about the shameful power play that Governor Abbott

0:27.4

in Texas is trying to do with this ridiculous gerrymender effort. But before that, we want to

0:32.6

talk about something even more ridiculous, which is Donald Trump firing,

0:40.2

they head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner,

0:43.5

because she counted the jobs and then reported how many jobs we were gained in July,

And it's like, dude, you can't, like, the headlines are, that's how it works. Six months, seven months old. They're right there. We can all go see it. You can't just rewrite history. Like, I know's what he's literally trying to do. And firing her is, let's rewrite history. But no, the blade cuts both ways.

1:49.9

And he's, you know, 10 years into being president and not president and talking about the
