CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'?

Reminder that Trump campaigned on sending troops into American cities to take out "the enemy from within." Something to consider next time a pundit tells you the election was really about inflation.
Trump to Bartiromo on what worries him about election day: "I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within ... sick people, radical left lunatics. And it should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military."

STEPHANOPOULOS: Are you standing by your comment that no one has died because of the aid cuts? Are all those aid organizations lying?
RUBIO: They died because England didn't give enough money or Canada didn't give more or China didn't. Let's blame the other countries that don't do any foreign aid.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.
