Stu Burguiere, executive producer of the Glenn Beck Radio Program, is a “numbers geek,” according to Beck himself. On TheBlazeTV Tuesday, Stu, dressed in a “number one costume,” broke down the latest figures and poll numbers being thrown around by the media and explained what they really mean in a segment called “By the Numbers.”
Analyzing the so-called drop in the unemployment rate to 7.8 percent, Stu explained that there are some very strange details within the numbers — you just have to look closely.
“You could start off by saying these numbers are just weird, which they are. But how weird are they?” he asked.
Stu said the number of workers ages 20-24 has gone down every single September going all the way back to 1980. However, in 2012, the age group saw a positive increase for the first time in decades.
Stu also pointed out that the number of food stamp recipients has dramatically increased over the last four years, with no apparent signs that the increase will slow down any time soon.
“It’s just depressing,” he said. “As depressing as someone telling you about it in a number one.”
Stu also tackled the dramatic swing GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney saw in the polls following last week’s debate and few other topics.

Oct. 10, 2012 at 7:40amThe polls along with everything else is being manipulated by the government. how can you have 7.8% unemployment when there exists the smallest percent of the working population in 60 years? If a person works 10 hours a week he is counted. How dumb is that? Baby sitters are counted, people who sleep are counted! Who is the government fooling? Watch it skyrocket right after the election.

Oct. 10, 2012 at 1:03amAm I the only one who felt really bad for him having to wear that ridiculous outfit, or ANY “numbered” outfit for that matter? Stu is amazing talent, but let’s face it, he doesn’t work well with humiliating costumes, especially when he is the only person I’ve ever seen on Blaze TV required to wear one.
It made me uncomfortable, frankly.

Oct. 10, 2012 at 4:53amThe only prayer this country has is a Romney/Ryan administration with Republicans control of the house and Senate. And even then it is going to be a tough row to hoe. Read more insights at: http://smallcraftadvisorychronicles.blogspot.com/

Oct. 9, 2012 at 11:29pmIf the polls are as close as they let on, then we have some serious issues with our society. Many, many, many are extremely deluded, deceived and confused. I am not so sure anything can fix this but something most dire and catastrophic.

Oct. 10, 2012 at 9:09amGoing back to a pre-1900 education system devoid of Horace Mann, Dewey, and other progressive education types would help future generations. The pre-1900 education system was heavy on civics which included learning the constitution. Public education was about how to be a good citizen and participate in the process. Since early 1900′s emphasis has been on being a good and obedient employee, and do as authority tells you, even if it wrong.

Oct. 10, 2012 at 6:34amThe racism in the black vote is shocking, and supports the notion that black people need special help to make it in modern society. They cannot see past skin color, and they will essentially commit suicide in order to have one of their own in any office representing themselves. Well, 4% of them, at least, are thinking.

Oct. 9, 2012 at 11:07pmHousing bubble. Fanny and Freddie. All of this initiated by President Jimmy Carter and later pumped up by President Clinton. Bush didn’t do anything real to stop it, even though he and others saw it coming. By the way, the de-regulation that allowed the mortgage bundling was signed by none other than Bill Clinton.

Oct. 9, 2012 at 10:24pmIt looks like Obama is doing a very poor job, but actually he is doing a good job destroying this republic. That is why it is like water rolling off a duck’s back to accuse him of doing a poor job here in America. When we say it, it is like a compliment to him. He is not trying to impove this country and cares nothing for any American, white, black or any ethnic American. He just uses them go get to where he is going with his agenda. Where is Congress and what are they doing to protect this country?

Oct. 9, 2012 at 10:23pmI just watched this and the numbers are mind boggling. We are in such a decline it’s hard to imagine what must be done to bring us back to prosperity. One thing to help would be to vote for Romney. tell your friends, family, co-workers, and anyone you talk to and make sure they get out there an vote for America, Romney/ Ryan 2012.
America, land of the free and home to freedom loving people.
