While or are employed -- 187746943. Green shoe insert comment. -- that someone smoking -- Missouri said the other day it's. I heard one today on its against CNBC the magic radio. I just I am on the Internet I'm doing I'm working on might call make a phone calls and listen to the magic radio and it's I put it on CNBC just as I mean how much can I take on Jon and Kate really. So I am listening to some -- so one of the one of the anchors today as saying well you know. I don't understand these these unemployment numbers are are terrible. These tax -- idea. How how you started on economists however the stack up with this this picture you're giving me a very optimistic one about the economy. And the the economists said well you know there's a difference between Mac for and the economy. All okay. I guess that's why they call it the dismal science. Right. So pay pay no attention to -- that 17% real unemployment rate behind the behind the curtain will I will worry about that later okay we're gonna talk about that in a second by you have to give UAE an update. Last slide just as I was leaving the -- got a call from a friend of mine and he told me did you hear about in the league go Puccio the state senator from Cambridge and I said Benoit did not. I -- but let me guess there was some kind of accident that maybe some bad ice cubes were involved -- In -- well he's been missing he's been missing today because he. He rear ended a car in Cambridge. At 540. People on Sunday night. That's it you don't when the patriots play at 1 o'clock game 540. Is a pretty dangerous times and focus people spec or win or lose they stick around about wherever they are and that they decide to head home. And gosh so go Lucci EO who has been convicted at least once of drunk driving has had a gubernatorial pardon. On another drunk driving case had a third drunk driving a case where the -- charges were never file level was in Boston. EU begin to see a pattern here of go Lucci goes driving. So -- chill vanished. He struck a car there was an injury actually still wanted to be taken that I hospital wasn't him. A life threatening our major injury but the -- to be taken to hospital. Yeah and he he won on the lam apparently just like just like Gulliver O'Leary all those many years ago via bestseller from the -- well alleged embezzle from Melrose who walked. Who fled and they finally caught him in West Virginia. But anyway go blue shield today. Issued a statement to a Harold on the globe saying he panicked. He panicked. And -- that from the scene of a car crash in Cambridge Sunday all because of his lousy driving record. I think he should run for the Senate the US sent up you know. Ted Kennedy is the last lion right that's what they columns now -- all all the bomb Kessler's. The last lion I think a -- always be your last call -- Of the Massachusetts. State Senate and I think he ought to get who better to filled issues. Of the man. Who ran away from the accident that another man who ran away. From an accident. The last call lie and Tony go Lucci -- Norway could add more cases -- was it isn't for his name was judge. All I had no reason to believe there was any injury involved there's no excuse for leaving the scene of an accident and I deeply regret doing so. I realized my serious error in judgment and recognize that I needed to report the accident. The next morning then next already dead at the how long does it take for your bloodstream to I won't."

" Oh I am until 15%. Per hour to be absorbed by your metabolism."

" realize it the next morning he realized that dammit he shouldn't have left the scene of the accident and he got in touch. What the Cambridge -- day."

" I realized my serious error in judgment and recognize that I needed to report the accident the next morning -- notified the Cambridge did he I would you wonder I wonder he volunteered to take a breathalyzer the next morning. The police said they wanted to see the car and I immediately invited them over to my house all while that was. What a cooperative gentleman. -- what they say about Dellucci EO he only passed one barred his entire life the Massachusetts bar. I am in the process of reaching out to the other driver -- offer my sincere apology. Paul could just he feels this pain so -- disorders representative Brian. Dempsey. I have now turned the matter over to my insurance company and will take care of any damages from the event. Clearly there's an extra burden on me. So it's senator -- and -- because of my driving history what -- what driving history is that where you we as senator senator do you ever been convicted of drunk driving. Yeah out once in -- it was twice and you were pardoned for one of the drunk driving is that you were convicted up by. By governor bill weld a fellow Cambridge Paul who certainly himself knows the drink and bubbles don't make a party. Clearly there's an extra burden on me because of my driving history because of my position as an elected official to be careful behind the wheel. He wrote in the statement. It was an accident just happened to be right after the patriots game. Followed by an error in judgment. And I offer my sincerest apologies to the driver of the other car and his passengers and to my constituents. I don't I noticed the words bad. Ice cube in in this apology. At 5:40 PM Sunday the so lawns. Car hit a car with three passengers at the intersection of garden and -- streets according to police spokesman frank past Orel. A passenger in the car was treated at a local hospital and released. Go Lucci go. Of Cambridge were cited for leaving the scene of an accident causing injury leaving the scene of an accident causing property of you know his place he took right. He took guy Jared burials. The guy you -- also known as senator -- for matter. The guy who wanted to -- for another sandwiches. And before that he was and -- made his district. Even though was made this district and even moaned again as I've said before sending a wanted to ever heard. Senator Beriault speak out against a sticky white substances. Any dog but he also when he was mayor he became mayor of Cambridge she took the place of -- Reeves another texting wished statesman. I think after fleeing the scene of the accident TO he ought to be up for the profiles in courage award. In the in next next spring amid again BC he is he's he's in the the last call lie and of the Massachusetts State Senate. -- man. His road rant record became an issue when it 2006 states senate race he withdrew from that campaign after he came under fire. After a 2005. Late night accident Boston and which witnesses alleged he appeared to be drunk. No charges were filed. And again he appeared to be drunk after -- being convicted twice of drunk driving. And but but this time. He just panicked he just panic that had there today he doesn't mention -- but it obviously had nothing to do what -- I mean we can trust. Senator go -- he's not like the others. He's the last call -- 1877469432218774694322. What talk about the east descent job situation -- it I mean it is see it's it's rather dire here. And it's it's so bad that even Bob Herbert who's one of the one of the biggest apologists. Four. Barack Obama in the lame stream media is beginning to -- catch on to this problem here. But first -- editorial in The Washington Times today but that's. America's jobless crisis is much worse than the nine point 8% unemployment rate reported Friday. To understand how there are many more unemployed in the government reports it's necessary to look at the numbers used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. To calculate the unemployment rate. The household survey numbers played it paid a bleak picture that no one is discussing that's so true no one is discussing this. Released in the mainstream media. Because again I mean they're too busy fact checking the Saturday night -- gets on Barack Obama people believe that they were fact check any of -- gets on a Sarah Pailin. Were George W. Bush -- Kim Stanley Dukakis for that matter -- back in the eighties. Anyway in September the economy saw a net loss of 785000. Jobs 785000. Jobs you ever hear that the figure before I bet you haven't. You certainly haven't heard him on. CNBC. Or MSNBC. Or in BC. This amounts to twice the 392. Thousands of job loss in August and five times the 155000. Loss in July. This does not jibe with the administration's talking points which are happily powered by most of the news media. Namely that unemployment is not a major concern because job losses supposedly are getting smaller each month. If someone has given up actively looking for a job the government does not count that person among those were jobless. This number of distanced discouraged workers has risen dramatically according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics 807000. Additional people stop looking for work last month. That is almost six times that the 143000. Dollar increase in the people who left the labor force during August. And five times the average monthly increase of so 161000. Over the past year. What is also happening right now is that many people are taking part time jobs. When counting the number of people officially considered unemployed as well as those who recently given up work in those who have taken low paying part time jobs because they can't find full time work. The unemployment rate for September is 17%. 17% of you seen that figure in Nero local newspaper I didn't think so. Have you seen that figure and a local what do moon bad website or your local -- bad paper same thing right now we haven't. For many Americans these dire straits are going to get much worse soon in July a 102000. People saw their unemployment benefits run out. This figure will keep rising each month and is on pace to hit one point five million in December alone. In reality. Three point two million Americans have lost jobs since President Obama took office. Political spin won't convince the growing masses of unemployed that recovery is just around the corner. You know someone whose lost their job. Have you lost your job -- stopped walking is is your company hiring you know anybody who's hiring. 1877469432218774694322. One last mentioned here -- destroyed read a little bit of Bob Herbert column. The big question on the domestic front right now is whether President Obama understands. The gravity of the unemployment crisis facing this country. Does he get it the signals coming out of the White House have not been encouraging. The beltway crowd in the Einstein's of high finance who never saw the sect reckon -- a claps coming. Are now telling us with their usual breezy arrogance that the great recession is probably over. Nearly one in four American families has suffered a job loss over the past year according to a survey released by the Economic Policy Institute nearly one in ten Americans is officially unemployed in the real world jobless rate is --"

" And you know we're being told by the mainstream media happy days are here again. Because Barack Obama's the president now let's go back to our fact checking report on Saturday night life. 1877469432. To read your next with Howie Carr go ahead read."
