White House economist calls for 'fresh set of eyes at the BLS' after weak jobs report | Fox Business Video
National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett discusses the latest jobs report, the firing of the labor statistics chief and the consumer impact of tariffs on 'Fox News Sunday.'
Hassett went on TV and claimed you canβt trust the economic data anymore because all the recent revisions are partisan.
