Listen to “Great June Jobs Report, Pruitt Exits EPA, Trade War Begins” on Spreaker.
Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America appreciate the June jobs report that shows more people entering the work force, a slight uptick in wages, and 213,000 new jobs. They also bid a bitter farewell to EPA Director Scott Pruitt’s excellent conservative policies but happily watch his self-aggrandizing attitude exit the agency. And they believe President Trump has a legitimate concern about China’s trade policies, but they are unsure that the solution lies in tariffs and a trade war.

And they welcome Brian Ross’ departure from ABC News following his false report that Trump ordered Michael Flynn to speak with Russians before the 2016 presidential election.
