The Weekend August 2 7a: Economic Uncertainty
Just hours after a weak jobs report showed signs of a clear slowdown in the job market, President Trump did what he does best: fire the messenger. Senior Economics reporter for Axios, Courtenay Brown, and former Sen. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota join The Weekend to discuss the president’s direction to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and his claim that the job numbers were “rigged.” Plus, humanitarian aid groups have issued a new warning about the starvation in Gaza. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert joins The Weekend to discuss the growing international frustration with Israel over the humanitarian crisis, as he says, “enough is enough.”
The Weekend · Lindsey Drath, Ehud Olmert, Sam Stein, Courtenay Brown, Eugene Daniels, Heidi Heitkamp, Jonathan Capehart
