the "the ingraham angle" is up next. we will see you on monday. >> ♪ >> laura: i am laura ingraham and this is the "the ingraham angle" from washington. the american economy is on fire. the chief economist larry kudlow will hit back at the naysayers in moments. what is the reason behind the left's effort to take down bill barr? why so intent on downplaying the word spying. this is still going on tonight. plus, two end of the week favorites. we have unearthed footage of

bernie sanders and joe biden. it's hysterical. and a principal who has had enough. and some journalists desire to jail bill bar. i kid you not. the news that should matter most to americans is today's jobs report. it's another record breaker and another sign that trump economics is work. in april 263,000 jobs were adding to the economy surpassing wall street and economists expectations. the experts were wrong by 70,000 jobs. the unemployment is 3.6%, the lowest in nearly 50 years. the last time the unemployment rate was this low, the following things were not even-month-old.

-- even imagined. mobile phones. video games. the mri machine. and disposable lighters. it's been a long time. in the 28 month since trump has been in office the economy added 5.4 million jobs. these are spectacular numbers. anyone who says anything different is lying. it's the best economy in my lifetime. and yet, all of the good news out there drives the left and some media to distraction and denial. >> are there any signs in this report of weakness? >> it begs the question: how do you keep this up? can we keep this up? . also to what extents is this

trump skewing. the president can't control the economy. >> laura: there is no control. you have no influence. it's just a thing that moves by itself. to answer let me cite the new yorker. when obama left office they said presidents are not mere bystanders. in sometimes of acute danger, presidents can give the economy a much needed boost or prolong the agony. anybody who doubts this needs to read up on the legacy of roosevelt or reagan." this is an unparalleled economic boon and in part due to trump's policies. every day the democrats deny

this reality, the more irrelevant and out of touch they appear. the better america does, the more unhappy they seem. with real answers joined by larry kudlow, white house chief economist advisor. congrats on the huge job numbers. i have known you for 25 years. i didn't know if he we would sit here with numbers like this tonight. it blows away reagan's numbers. >> i won't go that far. >> laura: larry kudlow saying trump's recovery not as good as reagans. >> i would not say that either. president trump's policies to rebuild the economy put us into a powerful prosperity boom.

there is no end in sight. low tax rates. energy openings and trade reforms. growth, growth, growth. that's what you got going here. these blow out numbers. it's about a fortnight. it started with a gdp no one believed possible. today the jobs beat estimates about 70,000. i was graduated from college the last time we had 3.6. >> laura: it's a tight labor market. that means wages are going up. i read today in the journal that rockwell corporation, they are training american veterans to do the jobs. you don't need to bring in foreign workers. we have a lot of people on the

sidelines coming back into the economy. >> one of the other blow out numbers was the productivity, how efficient are we. soaring to 2.4%. to your point which is really good, we have a lot of people. estimates var. there may be 25 million americans who left the labor force because they were discouraged. they are coming back. they are coming back because the rage waits are moving above 3% and because their friends and neighbors are going back to work. they are coming back because these companies need them. if you are not totally qualified, they will re-train you. as my college ivanka trump puts it, they will re-skill you. >> laura: she is really pushing that and i am glad. we are seeing -- >> higher wages bring them in. >> laura: everyone should be

thrilled about wages going up. >> you know what is so weird, the washington mainstream economists higher wages are bad and cause inflation. nonsense! more people working and prospering. this is what we need. blue collar workers are the winners. a stat for you -- >> laura: don't tell me the stats. >> my friend joe biden said the middle-class is not participating. the lower 25% of the income earners their wage is up 4.5%. upper 25, 3%. they are both rising. >> laura: i love that. earlier today cnn's jack tapper your other friend said this

about why the booming economy is not lead his show. >> we were going to lead with the economy. we were going to sing the numbers and president trump talked to vladimir putin with the russian hoax. >> jake is a friend but should have led with the economy. wages and booming growth, and productivity, more people employed. look, no inflation. >> laura: the experts predicted and predicted resignation. even bloomberg said no inflation inside. -->> the fed is looking at low inflation numbers too. that may give them grounds.

>> laura: don't soften up on china. the china policy is working. no softening up on china. >> the negotiators are scared of you. they won't back off. >> laura: great. >> it's got to be a great deal with china. >> laura: we didn't trade with the sophisticated. -- soviet union. why trade with china? you are not answering my china question. >> listen to me, there could be 100 billion dollars of added gdp if bobwhite does a good job. people won't give trump any credit. everything is converging. this is a powerful prosperity

wave. >> laura: their argument is trump is not a good person. he tweets too much. they want people to ignore the fact that the economy is great and focus on other issues. they will make it like a personality contest. that's what you see. joe biden using the word dignity a lot. a lot of dignity in these numbers. >> he is a good person. >>. >> laura: he left a cushy business to get beat up everything. >> looking ahead to the election, we have an opportunity to develop the biggest, big tent economic coalition in history. probably like reagan in 1984. the tax cuts are working and the trade is working. >> laura: and the democrats are

citing income and economy. >> it's the blue collar workers doing the best. their wage going up is the fastest. i want to sit down with my democratic friends and walk through these numbers. >> laura: what is their plan to raise the standard of living for americans? >> i don't know. i haven't heard much. those democrats that want to go to the socialists direction, they could turn this prosperity cycle into a major down turn. poverty would win and not prosperity. that's a big theme here. no to socialism. it's no good. healthcare for all, the new green deal it will wreck this prosperity. the president is the president of the entire economy and that's

improving. we will go to every nook and cranny to bring prosperity in. >> laura: make the trips to oakland and chicago. don't be depert. >> we will go. absolutely. >> laura: great to see you.terr. >> we will go. absolutely. >> laura: great to see you. don't let up on china. great to you see you. as we said so many times on this show. if the left can't beat trump or conservatives on major issues, they try to silence them and defame them. facebook banned what the "washington post" called extremist leader. here is the ceo mark zuckerberg.

>> we are not highlighting groups where people are sharing misinformation. we are removing groups if they exist to violate our policies or do things that are dangerous. >> laura: well, what about one of the most mainstream conservative thinkers are shutdown? you don't think that's where we are headed, you are fooling yourself. here is a documentary film maker. we have been down this road before. these companies are so big and so powerful. they act almost as unregulated public utilities of information. this is a slippery slope, is it not certainly is. --? >> it certainly is. democratic debate today occurs through social media. it's unimaginage what kind of

debate we would have without twitter and facebook. the point is the people who are doing the censorship, i don't think it's well intentioned. they are targeting people who haven't advocated balance or shouting fire in a crowded theatre. the people they are talking have provocative views but there are more on the left which don't get the same treatment. there is a clear effort to target the right. this is an attempt to tip the scales in the debate. the sheer thing of what they do. they say if you strike at the king, kill the king. if you attempt a palace coup against the leader of the free

folder, you -- leader. this is a censor to sit around at twitter to say take this guy off twitter. he is dangerous. he is not dangerous. you are a yahoo. >> laura: this is the first time someone used that word on the show. good on you! jejune. facebook is not alone in facing pressure from a number of these extremist groups. an organization called some of us is trying to pressure shareholders of master card to stop the movement of money between groups they deem far right. no word how they define this. this worked when they pressured paypal. where does this end?

>> there are some conservatives in typical clueless fashion who say, these are private corporations. they are not the federal government. tlvr therefore we should not worry about the private corporations. -- living in a society with a controversial views, not only are you cut off social media. what about the airlines decide we won't fly you because you are a hater or you can't open an account with pay a bank because you are a hater. they are targeting people because of a political viewpoint. our free speech right is no less important than our civil rights. we have civil rights laws against this discrimination. no way an airline, face

facebook or master card could say you won't give you an account because you are black. that's how outrageous an infringement this is. >> laura: there could be interesting ramifications for clever lawyers. what is the reason behind the left and the media's effort to take down bill barr. why are they intent on downplaying the word spying. new orleanews out of north kore next. just clear, cool, protected. coppertone sport clear. proven to protect. you wouldn't accept an incomplete job from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase sensimist relieves all your worst symptoms, including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. and all from a gentle mist

surveillance. >> i don't think i have heard a lawyer describe lawful surveillance as spying. >> it plays into the notion that there was the s-word an operative. this is spying. >> laura: why does the media freak out about the word spying. some of this is personal and bitterness. most is fear. power line people in washington have something to lose from barr's probe. the democratic party, the leakers and the media. here republican congressman mike churner from ohio with fox news contributor sarah carter. sarah, what is the most important discoveries barr's

probes could uncover? >> how extense the spying was and the number of people involved. people are focussing on fisa warrants. it's not just about the warrants. it's about the contractors hired and the extensive networks and whether or not they used other measures in the nsa and surrounding the trump team. that will be coming out in the next few weeks. >> laura: congressman, a transcript leaked to the national review and posted late today. in his testimony he was asked specifically about confidential human sources, informants used to approach people like george stephanopoulos and others. he would not say or said he

could not say how many of these confidential human resources were used in this russian investigation. he know helper was one of them and this woman brought to the meeting with papadopoulos was an fbi contractor and shifts. -- chiflts. christopher steele. he left open the possibility there are others. are you concerned about that fact? >> this is clearly spying and it's very shocking. i can't confirm or deny any of these reports are accurate. but it was shocking enough we voted to make all of the tripleanscripts public.

public. you will see what occur and i think the american public will find it shockey. and the statements from the anti-trump administration trying to undermine the president, you get the flavor of their opinions when this investigation was starting and their opinions now. >> laura: it seems like the media can't stop obsessing over russia. this was an exchange that president trump had with the press earlier today. >> did you tell them not to meddle in the next election? >> excuse me, i am answering this question. you are very rude. so, we have a good conversation about many different things. >> [shouting]. >> we didn't discuss that. >> laura: congressman, you remember the house intel committee. i don't recall reporters obsessing every time president

obama spoke with the president of china. did you bring up the forced abortions of woman? like trump is going to mention the election meddling in every conversation with putin. your reaction tonight? >> the other thing that is missing is the focus on the obama administration, what were they doing when they became aware that russians was meddling in the election? there was an unbelievable aim of focus on the trump campaign and little focus on russia. why wasn't obama on the phone telling to putin to knock it off. there was no trying to inform the trump campaign you might be targeted. of what happened when they tried to spy on the trump campaign. >> laura: sarah, quickly here. democrats, media, they have done

dismissing it. >> this is all based on fear. this is not going to go anywhere. they can keep dismissing it. the attorney general barr will look at the facts and washout the noise. that's just democratic noise. we will wash it out and conduct an investigation. he is conducting investigations into leaks that started under jeff sessions and he is conducting an investigation into the beginning of the russia probe. >> laura: great to have you both on. stick around for friday follies. raymond footage from the democratic hopefuls bernie sanders and joe biden. you won't believe what they are on tape saying. stay there. your brain changes as you get older. but prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient

down suggestions by blitzer? >> it's funny. the only thing wolf left out was please when suggesting that. it's mass hysteria. it was not a question. it was like a suggestion that he was making to this fellow. when the democrats want to say that's insane, you know that the media has gone even further than the people who they normally carry water war. >> laura: when they are so far in, they can't get out. -- they can't find their way out of conspiracy theorys. >> correct. this sound like wishful thinking. it's absurd thing to say you have a democratic congress person shoot it down right away.

this is something they want. everything for the past few days has been a farce and jail time was icing on the cake. >> laura: the second suggestion comes from this woman. >> one of the big questions: did we pursue the attorney general until he provides testimony for the house? or do we pursue the unretacted mueller report? >> laura: she said we as much as obama used to say i in his speeches. >> right and said go after him. that's what they want. it reveals their movies. they are disappointed that mueller did not deliver what they wanted. it's not about truth or justice or whether or not russia playing

a part in the trump campaign. this was about taking down trump. since they could not do that with mueller they are going after bill barr. >> laura: back to cnn. allison labeled known anti-semmite farrakhan if an interesting way. >> facebook is banning several far-right extremists because it considers them dangerous. this includes the nation of islam leader farrakhan. >> laura: far right extremist farrakhan with barack obama and maxine waters and holder. this far right extremist label has a lot of good friends on the left. >> it does. it's fascinating. this rhetoric they want to apply
