republican candidates line up for a chance to bring that state, the commonwealth, back into the red column. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that's it for this "special report," fair, balanced and still unafraid. got a busy week ahead next week. make it a great weekend. "fox news primetime" hosted by pete hegseth this week starts right now. hey, pete. >> pete: hey, bret, thank you so much. all right. good evening, america. it's 7:00 p.m. on the east coast and 6:00 p.m. in god's country which means it's time for "fox news primetime." ♪ >> pete: i'm pete hegseth and, guess what? it's working just don't believe your eyes. >> these are not the droids you are looking for. >> pay no attention to what is right in front of you. >> the american rescue plan was for the whole year. it plays out over a year and it's working. >> pete: it's working.
4:01 pm
he said so. but is it so? joe biden was awoken from his midmorning nap today so he could read a teleprompter with really big font on it the font was supposed to have a 7 figure number in it but instead it was in the low six digits. the force is not with joe biden. by that we mean the workforce. the monthly u.s. jobs report this morning was a total disaster. not a near miss or an awe shucks but a nose dive just like that. the labor department was expected to say that the u.s. economy added 978,000 new jobs last month. nearly 1 million jobs. it would have been a huge number and great sign we all want people working. it was a number the administration was banking on. but, instead, so much stimulus, i mean so many stemmies, yet so few workers. instead of a million jobs created the number added was a meager 266,000 that's just 25%
4:02 pm
of the expected number. coincidentally, 25% is the same percentage of the number of times each day that joe biden actually makes a decision for himself worse, 4 being 6,000 of those jobs added forecast jobs. really looking at 200 jobs added. right at the moment our economy should be running on rocket fuel. even worse, the labor department revised their jobs numbers for the month of february and march admitting there were actually 7 thousand few thousand fewer jobs created than previously reported. so all the numbers they are going down. by the way, 266,000 jobs added, that was an average month during the trump administration and there was no covid to rebound from. the problem it's not job openings. they are everywhere. you can't miss them. drive down any main street in america right now there are a whopping 7.4 million job openings in america and only
4:03 pm
266,000 americans wanted to take one. honestly, it pains me to say this but who could blame them? why work when you can get paid to stay home? now, we all know rich people know better than anyone, of course, especially the ones in the media. yet, the news still came as a shock this morning. >> seeing lay offs to fall here and an hour away for the u.s. jobs report for the month of april where economists believe that the economy added 1 million jobs. that would be the strongest month of job recovery since august last year. >> wow, it just came across give me a second here. it looks like 266,000. it looks like it was a big disappointment at 266. but maybe i have that wrong. let me double-check the bureau website here, one second. yes, 266 is correct. >> pete: let me double-check, could that be correct?
4:04 pm
cnbc steveizeman was just waiting to defend the numbers but evennizeman couldn't lie. we looked for other clips on cnn and msnbc of pundits trying to defend the numbers today. we actually couldn't find any. even the left wing media somehow aren't as gullible as storm troopers about this reality. >> these aren't the droids you are looking for. >> pete: supposed to play the next clip when the storm trooper says these are not the droids you are looking for. they love to parrot their white house friends. they couldn't do it this time. the workforce is just not with them. biden, however, unfazed. back to the big font teleprompter. >> we can't let up. this jobs report makes that clear. we have got too much work to do. and the american rescue plan is just that a rescue plan. it's to get us back to where we were but that's not nearly
4:05 pm
enough. >> pete: we have much work to do, you think? at the pace of 266,000 jobs a month, and the trillions we are spending, we'll all be broke and dead before the socialists running the white house get us back to where we were before the choin virus forced shut down of the entire economy. donald trump will our economy firing on all cylinders. those of us who have actually been paying attention in this country, you know, talking to business owners without wearing double mavericks saw this coming weeks ago, months ago. my day job is on "fox & friends." and on that show we travel the country nearly every week to talk to average americans about what they are up against. we do get to eat great food. big bonus. two weeks ago i was in alabama. this is what i heard. >> some businesses are having trouble hiring. >> that's true? >> unemployment. >> people don't want to work right now. >> you could entice people. >> we have already done that. >> you have done that.
4:06 pm
>> they are giving sign musts bonuses, you are raising wages, giving appreciation bone bonuses and you are still under staffed by 50%. >> yes, sir. >> don't have the staff right now. >> let me ask why wouldn't you go straight to a hundred. >> we don't have the numbers. >> also in april this is more of what will cain and i heard. >> how about getting workers back to work here? how has that been? >> that's been a challenge. i don't know where they're. but we have our family here, our team and we are doing -- even the busy restaurants where everybody is making good money cannot find enough help. >> i'm so tired of all of it. quit giving all of this unemployment. they are getting unemployment. they are getting stimulus. why work? they make a lot of money and a lot of people are on it that shouldn't be on it. they come here and they apply. i say okay, you are hired. do they come? no. [laughter] >> pete: how great is she? you can nary find a ghis america today that can find enough
4:07 pm
workers. restaurants, hotels, grosser is, retail stores, you name it, they don't have staff. they want to do more but they can't hire. restaurants are scaling back hours because they don't have the servers. in new jersey, iowa iowa which is a convenience store on the east coast actually has great food by the way is temporarily closing or reduce that brings us back to joe biden who according to good friends at politico found reason for optimism. isn't that sweet? look at the bright side and the answer, always more spending either he is lying or he means this or he doesn't know it's friday. >> we are moving more rapidly than i thought we were. today there is more evidence that our economy is moving in the right direction this. is progress. it's a testament to our new strategy of growing this economy. our efforts are starting to work. this month's job numbers show we are on the right track. >> pete: moving rapidly? compared to what? the pace of your afternoon power
4:08 pm
walk? and right track to what? this is a wake-up call and yet another reminder of the millions, if we needed more that it's time to end the permanent pandemic. work is virtuous. dependency is corrosive, always has been, always will be. as ronald reagan d. said the nine most terrifying words in the english language should be i'm from the government and i'm here to help. never really seems to work out that way. thankfully, some governors, of course only in red states, have you moved yet? man, i want to. >> they are taking the opposite approach. south carolina, montana just announced an end to covid-19 unemployment benefits for jobless residents. montana is even providing $1,200 return-to-work bonuses after four weeks of work which compared to unemployment will actually save the state money. paying people to stay at home doesn't work. unless you are a democrat, i mean, socialist. and there is no difference these days. now, let's head down to florida
4:09 pm
for our moment of common sense. >> normally when you are getting unemployment normally that's temporary and need to be looking for work. the that's a good problem to have want to make sure if you are really unemployed and can't get a job that's one thing but making sure you are doing your due diligence and those incentives align better. >> pete: don't tell these people. >> ♪ oh no, oh no. >> pete: really respect the innovation, dan bongino host of the dan bongino and fox news contributor. dan, thanks for being here tonight. is this willful blindness? do we think we are morons? do they really not listen to businesses? they would want the job numbers
4:10 pm
higher you would think, right? >> well, first, whose idea was it to let me and you on the air without supervision together? this could be serious trouble. i'm just warning you are in the control room. >> pete: that's true. we are in control they can't cut us off. >> cuts to black immediately. great segment. i really enjoyed your opening it reminds me always of liberalism. like sitting around a camp fire telling each other nice stories. are any of those stories real? of course not they're not real but they are really good stories. one of the stories liberals like to tell each other which sane people like you and i just scoff at but is having very real world consequences don't worry, if we pay people a lot of money to not go to work, they will still go to work. now, most people will, thankfully, we are a country of really great entrepreneurs and hard-working people, but the hard reality is some people won't. you know, pete, they have the old 80-20 rule. everybody knows the 80-20 rule.
4:11 pm
if say 20% of them say i can get a nice fat check to do not do squad then i'm not going to do squad. that's a real problem. i appreciate ron desantis taking it to people here saying you have got go back to work, okay? i think the republican party needs to go really heavy on this. i'm really sorry. if you can't work, we understand. there is a safety net for that. there is some health problem. but if you are a capable person who can work, remove your rump from the seat and go to work. i'm really sorry. there are 80% of the people in america who are awesome folks working their butts off to pour tax dollars into this government that is giving them to you to not work. go back to work. stop relying on the government and we really have to be stronger with that message. cut the crap, back to work. everyone back to work. time to get back to normal. >> pete: do you know what i think about the grocery clerks who get no praise, work the entire time providing who didn't have a vaccine. the teachers unions are clamoring we can't go back even with a vaccine.
4:12 pm
there are quiet, courageous hardworking people across this country they deserve to be rewarded not rewarded to stay home. i don't want to be cynical here, dan, maybe the democrats are cool with people staying at home on a government check? >> we know for a long time people surgically attached to the government and this is what better way to to do it. ing. small number of people, america really is a hard-working country. frankly, pete, it's amazing we are paying so many people not to work and more people are working. i find that crazy. wait, let me get this straight. i can make 40 k a year to sit around and not do -- like why are more people not working, right? but if you are a democrat and you hate a meritocracy, right? and you hate the idea that some people who work really hard and a great country like the united states can get really wealthy, democrats hate that kind of stuff. what better way to equal it all out at the bottom like margaret
4:13 pm
thamp said. it's not a race to the top, it's a race to the bottom. making everyone attached to the piggy bank and get the same amount of poverty at the same time. >> pete: we have this air time i will hit you another two topics here. one of them is this. there are serious concerns over biden's energy secretary owning millions of dollars of stock of electric vehicle company that the biden administration is actively promoting. feels a bit like solyndra here. do you remember this? the media is obsessed with the two scoops of ice cream scandal or ivanka trump holding a can of goya beans. why isn't something lake this, especially when trillions more of green new deal money is going out, why doesn't this stuff get the same kind of attention? >> yeah, yeah. this story when i read this' unintentionally hilarious. you are joe biden. you are barack obama's vice president. you know in the porkulous plan, otherwise called the stimulus plan you know the solyndra thing happened. pete, you also know your son
4:14 pm
hunter has had sheaferred stuff with ukraine, choin and moscow mope. this is the white house. you would think someone would have sat around a bit like okay, let's think this deal through. we have got this energy secretary who has got some ownership in this company and we are going to visit the company. ' didn't someone at the table go we have hunter, we have solyndra this is not a good idea. and nobody in the white house thought this was a bad idea? it speaks to their incompetence, doesn't it. >> pete: speaks on their reliance for the media to cover for them. even if we do do it we will probably get away with it for the most part. >> pete: okay, one more in the lightning round here, dan, senators ron johnson, you cover stuff like this better than anybody. ron joonsd chuck grassley demanding answers after "the washington post" conveniently found out about their supposedly confidential fbi briefing and used that information to then summary the senator's are report on hunter biden. is this a setup here? >> yeah, we need a house cleaning at the top of the fbi and we have to stop beating around the bush around it. we have seen this tactic before
4:15 pm
where they allegedly briefed candidate donald trump before he was president. i have say allegedly they used the briefing to spy on donald trump. they are doing this again now but they are -- it's even more pernicious they briefed these two g.o.p. senators it leaks suspiciously to the "the washington post." then when the g.o.p. senator ron johnson from wisconsin puts out a damning report about hunter biden, "the washington post" then gets to write they were warned. this could have been russian disinformation, why? because the fbi briefed them. what is the fbi doing, guys? i mean, listen, their targets list now in the fbi their most wanted is really bizarre. you would think it would read like chinese counterintelligence, russian nuclear powers, al qaeda. their target list now is ron johnson, chuck grassley, john suleman, rudy giuliani and victoria toensing. great dangers to the united states of america. guys, in the librescu in the fbi. i worked with these guys, i was a federal agent. please, get your act together
4:16 pm
the public is losing faith. you are the most powerful on the planet. get your heads out of your butt and do your job right? what are you doing over there. >> pete: is there a chance of that? all of this should have brought an agency like that to heal meaning to say hey, time to rein it in. >> no, no, they didn't do anything. you would think all these exposes of the deep state. conspiracy theory really? why does it keep happening. you have those cool shoes brown shoes you wear on "fox & friends"? i bought those this week. so cohan owes you a sale. >> pete: first i got kilmeade and now got bongino. >> i got them on right now not kidding. cool shoes you are like a fashion maven. >> pete: now i feel cool for the first time all day. dan bongino, thank you, brother, appreciate it. >> thank you, brother. >> pete: come up, the biden administration appointing bishop garrison a radical leftist as a senior pentagon adviser. how is part of a plan to purge

4:23 pm
you found out even more. what do you guys know? >> yes. well, thank you for having me and just to recap, revolver dot news has gained something of a reputation of being at the forefront of what i think is the most disturbing trend in american politics that's not the democrats, it's not the republicans. it's the fact that increasing swathes of our own national security apparatus have been re-purposed and redeployed domestically against american citizens this intensified of 1/6 which secretary of defense ordered a standdown in order to vet identically members of the armed forces. now, revolver dot news why this piece has touched such a nerve with people all throughout the military who are terrified of this, we uncovered the ideological veteran chief for the united states military and that's bishop garrison and it's worse than you can ever imagine. if you will indulge me. >> pete: sure. >> i would like to read a couple of his public statements because i think the american people
4:24 pm
deserve to know. >> pete: this is the guy in charge of determining what's extreme or not inside the military and he is in power. >> check this out. this is from the horse's mouth so to speak. silence from our congressional leaders is complicity. support for him, namely trump, a racist is support for all his beliefs. if you support the president, you support that. there's no room for nuances with them. that alone is grounds for dismissal. but it gets even worse if i can read another thing. this is what he has to say about civility. quote: calls for civility, rather than shouting down falsehoods and misinformation, shall be the death of this nation. so, if you think we might all be better off if we had adopted a more civil approach to our politics, you are contributing to death to the nation. keep in mind, this is not some kook on twitter although he is,
4:25 pm
is he a kook anded me 00 credit at this on twitter. he happens to be the ideological veteran in chief of the united states military. >> pete: why do you think they chose him in particular? he is new to the job? >> they chose him for a number of reasons. first of all, just judging from his personality and intellect, this is not a mastermind. this is someone who obeys more intelligent people than he is. but, despite his mediocrity in terms of incident electric. he has been able to carve out a very important niche. that niche basically applies the national security it to woke ideology. everything is a national security issue, including woke ideology. and why that is so dangerous is that to say something is a national security issue is to say that it's not open for discussion. but it's also to say. >> pete: true. >> the dispute you and i have is
4:26 pm
not just an ordinary democratic disagreement. it's a national security problem and it invites the full force of the american national security apparatus against him. and he has been at the forefront of this and he is the ideological veteran chief. black lives matter supporting -- just one more thing. >> pete: real quick we are almost out of time real quick. >> people really need to get a sense of who he is. black lives matter supporting in the wake of the george floyd riots he says there is no security abroad without justice at home and now i think we all know what that means. so, read the full report at revolver dot news, you will be terrified. share it with everyone, especially men and women in our armed forces. >> pete: i hope the pentagon is left to answer for it at some point. >> absolutely. >> pete: darren beattie, thank you so much for your time we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> pete: you got it steven miller taking some america first legal action. how he is taking on the biden administration for giving women

craziest ideas from a u.k. berkeley campus things that we maybe used to laugh off or dismiss or maybe not take seriously are now the official policy of the united states government it's almost impossible to believe. as you may know my group first legal filed a lawsuit against the usda agricultural relief program that explicitly excludes some farmers from debt relief solely based on their skin color. and now you have the new rule which you just mentioned which says that if your restaurant or your bar was absolutely disseminated by the pandemic, and closures, that you will be last in line for relief solely becaused upon your skin color is the institutionalization of discrimination by the u.s. government. that's clearly illegal, my group is going to fight it if you visit af legal.org you will find out what we're doing. critical race theory that insane
4:34 pm
left wing campus extremism that we have been talking about so much is now being used to decide how u.s. dollars are dolled out to u.s. citizens. >> pete: we're going to get to the critical race theory part in a moment. but, first, who in the white house legal office would think that, hey, if we discriminate against someone based on the color of their skin that's totally constitutional, that's great. i mean, they can't believe this will hold up on execute any. >> i think that they think that people just aren't going to be courageous enough to challenge it because they think that people will assume they will get called racist for fighting these policies. let's be very clear, you don't solve past discrimination with future discrimination. >> pete: yes. >> you do not solve the problem of racism that occurred in previous historical periods by institutionalizing racism today. senator scott spoke about this in his address. john roberts, chief justice roberts wrote about this in the past, too. if you allow the government to
4:35 pm
decide whose business survives and whose business dies, just based on the pigmentation of their skin then have you violated the law. have you violated the constitution and have you violated something very fundamental about what it means to be american. that is a slippery slope towards oppression. and it must be fought and my group will fight it. >> pete: absolutely. i think you are on fantastic, if tragic legal grounds to challenge it. keep us posted on that. but you mentioned critical race theory in this push. we see it in schools, we see it in click curriculum we see it in culture. you are talking about legal action potentially. what can be done on the legal side if you are to stop this push? >> well, look, i happen to believe and a lot of other people believe and i think it's probably going to be the successful argument that critical race theory violates federal nondiscrimination law. so we have laws on the peculiars today that say you can't discriminate based on race. the critical race theory

doctrine requires everybody to be judged on their skin color. it's a marxist ideology that groups awful society into the oppressed and the oppressors and it says that just because of your skin color you fit into one of these two groups. so it's racist against black people and racist against latino people and racist against white people reduces everybody to their skin color the federal government and this include the new regulation issued for the department of education can, in fact, be enjoined on this basis. so my group just cemented a comment today which the first step in a legal process objecting to the new department of education rule mandating these radical theories in the classroom and i encourage anyone else with a view on it to submit a comment as you are is your right as an american citizen. if the department does not change course, then my group will use every single legal tool available. we wrote a detailed comment breaking down what's wrong with it you can read the full comment

what donald trump taught us if we focus on immigration and trade policies that put american workers first, if we focused on an america first foreign policy tackling the big threat threat doing everything that we can to restore integrity to our elections, that's a winning formula to keep working class blue collar voters in the republican fold. so, if at the same time, pete, we go back and focus on where republicans have fallen short in the past fiscal responsibility at the top of the list, i believe we have a significant contrast between where republicans stand and that agenda and where the radical socialist left democrats stand today. you saw the dismal jobs numbers this morning, you are seeing that the trump policies work. here is what i find, of course, there are republicans out there who don't -- who didn't like donald trump. i happen to believe he was the most effective president in my lifetime. there republicans throughout that didn't like him.

almost awful under the circumstances agree that his policies and agenda were on the right track. if we focus on that republican also be successful for a long time. >> pete: it's a great way to look at it. a working class coalition across the board. black, white, brown, doesn't matter who you are or where you are from and want to work hard and part of the american dream we will have your back, secure the border because tax paying citizens are to be protected before other's trade practices so harmful it makes a lot of sense. i hope you are successful. congressman, thank you very much. >> good to be with you. >> pete: good to be with you. up next, a pregnant woman is harassed for not wearing a mask and scolded for having too much privilege. tomi lahren and rachel campos-duffy are ready to go on this one next. ♪ ♪
