U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) joined Kudlow to discuss the October jobs report, the influence of illegal immigration on the workforce, and the Biden-Harris Administration’s economic policy failures. See below for highlights and watch the full interview on YouTube y Rumble.
On job losses among native-born Americans:
“All the net jobs in the last three and a half years, they’ve all gone to people not born in the United States. Now, some of them are U.S. citizens, they’ve been here a while, but a significant percentage of that is being driven by migrants coming into the country that Biden and Harris have allowed in. What the numbers tell us is that there are people that have lived here most, if not their entire lives, who have lost jobs. Meanwhile, some of those jobs are being taken, or the new jobs are being taken by people that are coming from overseas, and we know a large number of them, nine, ten, 11 million that have come in just the last three years because of the open border.”
On the October jobs report:
“Look, this is probably, the worst jobs numbers, the ones we got in October. And what really bothers me is the way every one of these now, I think 14 of the last 16 massive down[ward] adjustments, they come back and they revise the numbers, but they get the headline. The media runs with the headline, ‘oh, look at these great numbers for Biden and Harris. The economy is turning around.’ Then they come back and revise them. When I said that last month, they said I was lying. Biden himself said I was lying from the podium at the White House. And here we get the revisions now for August and September. Another downward revision, a combined 112,000 jobs less than what they said had been created.”
On the failure of the Biden-Harris economic policies:
“People feel it in their lives. This is an enormous disconnect between the people talking about finance. I don’t think there’s any doubt that in the last week we have seen a disinformation campaign by major media outlets in this country to influence this election that has no precedent. … They go out there and they say, ‘Oh, the economy is doing great.’ They have spent months trying to convince people that our economy is doing phenomenally well and they point to things like the unemployment number, which doesn’t tell you and doesn’t account for the millions of people that you just cited that have stopped looking for work or basically are working off and on as they need, but not really the kind of work that people want in order to start a family and build communities and get ahead in life. But, that disconnect in people’s real lives, they feel it, they see it, they feel this every single day and that’s why an overwhelming number of Americans are not happy with the direction of our country.”
