Antoni had joined Steve Bannon on August 1 in calling for President Trump to get rid of the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner following a weak July jobs report. Shortly after that segment aired, Trump announced he had fired BLS Commissioner Dr. Erika McEntarfer.

STEVE BANNON (HOST): So much going on. There's a Federal Reserve governorship seat available, of course we think the great Judy Shelton, an audience favorite, should take that seat. We've deconstructed - we're in the process of deconstructing the administrative state, let's now deconstruct the Federal Reserve before we shut it down. That's what Judy will mean as Fed Federal Reserve Governor.
E.J. Antoni as the new head of Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's what we're pushing. He's the guy that almost single-handedly took it down by going through their numbers.
