Description:

While the White House claims the US economy is booming, recent data indicates otherwise, with one report in particular fueling concerns about a weak job market. In response, President Trump fired the person responsible for producing the numbers he claims were "rigged." So what's really happening? Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman and Greg Mankiw, who served as chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers under President Bush, join the show to break it all down. 

Also on today's show: Alexander Gabuev, Director, Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center; Barak Ravid, Global Affairs Correspondent, Axios; author Sami Tamimi ("Boutany")
