Ellison nails Schutz after he admits he's never taken a case for a client who didn't align w/ his personal views: "It is the job of the AG to defend laws sometimes you don't agree w/ if those laws are constitutional" (Note that Schutz then initially stammers about if abortion access is settled law)

Minnesota AG Keith Ellison on his Republican opponent Ron Schutz: "Ron is a movement Republican ... I would think that a movement Republican, at a time when our state is being persecuted by a Republican administration, would stand up and be a little more vocal than just sending out a presser."

Russ Vought: "We fund what we need to fund. I'm not at all shy about we want to spend billions of dollars on a new shipyard. We're up there defending the $1.5t that the Department of War needs. But it's also coming at a ton of reduction on the non-defense side"

"Not disappointed even a little bit, and you knew I was going to say that" -- LOL even Hassett knows he's full of shit

85942171

incredible spin from Hassett on mortgage rates being well above 7%: "When the economy is growing really high, then longer-term interest rates can sometimes go up not because of inflation, but because like all these businesses have a high demand for capital because they're building factories."

176675146

Hassett: "Real relief on gas prices is coming virtually immediately" ("Virtually" is doing heavy lifting there!)

1971231190

Kevin Hassett on the unemployment rate going up: "People are seeing the strong labor market and they're saying, 'Oh! I need to get bad to the labor force because I'm going to make so much money.' That's one reason the unemployment rate just ticked in a different direction."

CNN on the last jobs report before the midterms: "It came in cold -- surprisingly cold. Job growth weaker than expected, unemployment unexpectedly went up, and paychecks aren't keeping up with prices. This was disappointing all around."

33241371230

CNBC on the September jobs report: "A bit of a disappointment. Expecting 90,000, comes in at 29,000. And we see two month revisions down 60,000 ... average hourly earnings -- this is a big miss. Big, big miss. We were expecting up three tenth. This comes in at one tenth."

1421595516

DUN DUN DUN -- Fox Business on the September jobs report: "The numbers do not look good. I'm looking at 29,000 jobs added. That is well below expectations for 90,000, and our unemployment rate jumps up to 4.2%. A significant slowdown."

115622146

Trump: "If you add Venezuela we'll have 58% of the fuel in the world. In order to save a glass of fuel like this *dumps a glass of water* it's ridiculous. They have computers all over the place, and the other thing is it didn't work well."

178574129

Trump on global warming: "That didn't work out because the planet got cooler. In fact, you know the ice that was melting? It right now just set a record. It's the biggest ice cube that's ever been in the history of the world ... they're doing the scam with data centers, by the way."
