<\/p>\nRUSH: Here\u2019s Vern in Lawton, Oklahoma. Vern. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello, sir.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hello, Rush. I can\u2019t believe I got in to you.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, you did. Your big day.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Pardon? Oh, yeah. Of course. You just got too many followers. My question was, this morning I was listening to Fox News when the unemployment figures came out.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: They had an individual named Stuart Varney, I guess he\u2019s been doing it for 30 years, reporting on business and everything. He said he had a habit of looking at the narrative, whatever that is, that comes along with the numbers.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CALLER: And he saw in the narrative that they were reporting that, quote, a large state did not report any numbers.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yep.<\/p>\n
CALLER: And he\u2019s saying, “Hey, this is an incomplete report. Why did they put it out?” Now, at the time I had to leave the house. I could only listen on the car radio, I could only pick up CBS, and they\u2019re not saying anything about this at all. They\u2019re touting how good it is for Obama.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, well, it really isn\u2019t. <\/p>\n
CALLER: No.<\/p>\n
RUSH: It\u2019s the second week in a row that doesn\u2019t make any sense. I wasn\u2019t gonna spend any time on it today because I looked at it today, I said, “This is just as off the wall as last week\u2019s unemployment number.” I said, “I\u2019ll just leave this to Jack Welch. He\u2019s got it covered.” <\/a>And then I see that there\u2019s a state that didn\u2019t report on time! Whoa! There\u2019s a state that didn\u2019t report on time. So that got my interest. ‘Cause, folks, I don\u2019t believe anything this regime puts out. And look, for those of you in the conservative blogosphere, if you think I\u2019m seeing conspiracies, deal with it. I\u2019m not seeing conspiracies; I\u2019m seeing leftists. I know how leftists play the game. If they have a chance to falsify things to make themselves look better than they are, they\u2019ll do it. It\u2019s time you woke up to realize their potential. <\/p>\n At any rate, Henry Blodget today writing at Business Insider: “We\u2019ve Gotten to the Bottom of the Mysterious Jobless Claims Report! — After this morning\u2019s surprisingly positive jobless claims…” Folks, the real numbers before any of the adjustments are made… It may be unfair to go back and look at the unadjusted numbers because I could be guilty of what I\u2019m accusing the regime of \u2019cause the unadjusted numbers are never reported, everything\u2019s always seasonally adjusted, and everybody accepts that. But I still thought, I want to go see what the real numbers are before they started adjusting things, because every week they always revise the adjustment, and it always gets worse than it was when originally reported. <\/p>\n So here you go. The real live number of new claims… well, it\u2019s pretty hard to see what seasonal adjustment can… actual increase of 25,990 claims. The hard number, in real life before any adjustment, there was an increase of nearly 26,000 claims for unemployment. By the time the BLS puts their story out with the adjustments that they make, and they do this with every report, so I\u2019m not being accusatory here, but there was an actual increase of 26,000 new claims for unemployment. That became a decrease of 30,000 from the previous week. <\/p>\n In other words, a net difference of 56,000 claims. Real claims for unemployment insurance up 26,000. Then they do their adjustments, and that results in a decrease overall of 30,000. So we\u2019ve had in their adjustment a difference of nearly 56,000 claims. Now, they say they\u2019ve got a formula that is tried and true and it\u2019s used every week, every month, and it\u2019s seasonal and so forth, but Henry Blodget, Business Insider, guess what state didn\u2019t get its data in on time? California. It\u2019s the eighth largest economy in the world, unemployment rate out there is through the roof. California didn\u2019t get its data in on time to make this report, according to the Business Insider.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n But, all that means is, “No, we didn\u2019t exclude a state. A state just didn\u2019t report.” <\/p>\n “It is likely that some of the jobless claims in one large state — California — were not included in the claims reported to the Department of Labor this week. This happens occasionally, our source says. When a state\u2019s jobless claims bureau is short-staffed, sometimes the state does not process all of the claims that came in during the week in time to get them to the DOL. The source believes that this is what happened this week.”<\/p>\n “See, we didn\u2019t exclude anything. They just didn\u2019t get us the data.” <\/p>\n So they\u2019re playing semantics. <\/p>\n “Oh, wait a minute, we resent this accusation that we excluded a state.” <\/p>\n “Well, then what happened?” <\/p>\n “Well, California just didn\u2019t get the data to us.”<\/p>\n “Oh! So you didn\u2019t exclude it, you just didn\u2019t have it. And yet you put the number out anyway?” <\/p>\n “Yeah. They\u2019ll report next week, and then we\u2019ll fix this later.” <\/p>\n That\u2019s exactly what the source told Business Insider. California\u2019s gonna get their number in at some point and then we\u2019ll get the right number. But based on the data that we have now, shazam, there were 26,000 new applications for unemployment but by the time we did our adjustments that we do every week, it was actually a reduction of 30,000. <\/p>\n (interruption)<\/p>\n Yes, Mr. Snerdley? A question? Doesn\u2019t who put who in jail? Well, the IRS does put people in jail but that\u2019s after an audit and so forth. No, we\u2019re supposed to think that there\u2019s nothing to see here. You know, California, it\u2019s a big place, and there\u2019s a lot of really committed, wonderful, hardworking bureaucrats out there, and they\u2019re just overwhelmed. Do you realize it was Columbus Day last week, and it got to 75, 80 degrees in parts of the state? I mean, it was a tough week. The winds got up there and people were worried about the Santa Ana. There\u2019s a lot of stuff. Those people, they\u2019re really working hard in California. They tried to get the number in. But don\u2019t worry because they\u2019ll get the number in eventually and when they do, then we\u2019ll report with an adjustment, but by the time that happens, all this will be forgotten.<\/p>\n So the regime\u2019s out there, “Okay, 7.8% unemployment last week,<\/a> and unemployment claims this week are at the lowest they\u2019ve been since 2008.” Bam. Shazam. And I\u2019m sure that I got conservative bloggers who will caution me later tonight, “Don\u2019t go talking about conspiracies. Simply a statistical anomaly.” And it\u2019s clear that if that\u2019s said again, like it was last week with the unemployment number, it\u2019s clear that we don\u2019t have enough people that genuinely understand who we\u2019re up against. We\u2019re in a war with leftists. Leftists are liberals, socialists, Marxists, whatever, all of that, and they behave in certain ways and one of the things that we know they do is lie. They lie. <\/p>\n You want to know why Obama had a bad debate performance? ‘Cause he could not lie in that format without being a laughingstock. He couldn\u2019t tell everybody how great this economy is, like he did the next day with his teleprompter. He couldn\u2019t truthfully refute anything Romney said. And he\u2019s not gonna be able to in the next debate, and the debate after that, and Biden\u2019s not gonna be able to tonight<\/a>. So they\u2019ll have to do something else. And the tack they\u2019re taking is, you know, Romney\u2019s the guy lying<\/a>, Romney\u2019s the guy. <\/p>\n (Clinton impression) “You know, Rush, I didn\u2019t even recognize Romney in that debate. I mean that\u2019s not the Romney we all know. Have you seen the Romney in our TV ads? That\u2019s the real Romney.” They\u2019re trying to now say that Romney\u2019s becoming a moderate and a centrist. The real Romney is this extremist, right-wing conservative kook, but that Romney in the debate, that\u2019s not the real guy. That\u2019s all they\u2019ve got. That\u2019s what they\u2019re reduced to. <\/p>\n All you need to know is this, the real number, unemployment claims, 26,000, up 26,000 higher than last week. But then they did the seasonal adjustment, which they always do, not criticizing that. Don\u2019t misunderstand. After the adjustment that they always do, that 26,000 new claims became 30,000 fewer than last week. So a net adjustment of 56,000. And then you read between the lines and you find out that not all states reported. It was originally reported as the BLS excluded a state, and the BLS got very, very mad, because they were accused of cheating, and they said, “We didn\u2019t exclude a state. You can\u2019t say that. We didn\u2019t leave a state out. There just is a state that didn\u2019t report to us.” <\/p>\n Oh, okay. The state that didn\u2019t report is California, where there is a huge unemployment number. People are leaving that state to try to find jobs. Two thousand people a week are leaving California. And somehow they just didn\u2019t get their numbers in. So California is not part of this number. But that\u2019s okay. There\u2019s no chicanery here. Next California will get the numbers in, we\u2019ll report the adjustment, and everything will be fine, except when the adjustment\u2019s reported it\u2019s gonna be way too late because the impact will have already been made. Yes, the BLS has Obama appointments. It\u2019s also got some Republicans in this. It\u2019s got some career people. It\u2019s like these State Department people that testified yesterday, they\u2019re not Obama appointees. <\/p>\n This Charlene Lamb, who would not call it terrorism, kept referring to “attackers,” she\u2019s career. She is not an Obama appointee. Now, that doesn\u2019t mean she\u2019s not a commie babe, liberal, but everybody\u2019s going to great pains to point out that she\u2019s not. <\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: By the way, Henry Blodget in this Business Insider story says that California would add 15 to 25,000 new claims to last week\u2019s number. Now, last week\u2019s number, the raw new claims was 26,000, which Blodget says became a reduction of 30,000. Blodget says that California would add 15,000 to 25,000 to the 26,000.<\/p>\n So the real life number of new claims, which is now 25,900 (we\u2019ll call it 26,000), could actually be twice as high as that. But California was left out. So, in other words, not only was the real life number 26,000. That number could be twice as high after California\u2019s added. Now, for those of you cringing and claiming that I have descended into conspiracy theory?<\/p>\n No, no, no, no! There\u2019s no conspiracy here. What\u2019s going on here is manipulation. Pure and simple. Plain and simple. Plain as day. There\u2019s manipulation going on here, and to say it\u2019s a conspiracy? There might well be one, but that\u2019s not what I\u2019m alleging. A state didn\u2019t get its numbers in on time, and it wasn\u2019t Rhode Island. Ha-ha-ha. It\u2019s California. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RUSH: Here\u2019s Vern in Lawton, Oklahoma. Vern. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello, sir. CALLER: Hello, Rush.
