that came out today, he is shaping to be a lot more like jimmy carter, economist predicted that april would deliver 1 million jobs but we got only a fourth of that. it is catacomb bad, joe thinks he can spin out of this with happy talk. >> we learned our economy created 266,000 jobs in april. that is what it says. listening to commentators today as i was getting dressed you might think we should be disappointed. today there is more evidence our economy is moving in the right direction. >> love that laugh, don't you? he said it is moving in the right direction? that's not what speaker pelosi thought, jobs numbers were so terrible that even his usual sycophants were caught off guard. >> we have the number here, just

came across -- sorry about that. came across very quickly. looks like 266,000, looks like it was a big disappointment at 266 but maybe i have that wrong, let me double check the website here, one second, yes, 266 is correct. shannon: that was funnier than i was told it was. one political reporter was so shocked she tweeted i thought this is a glitch in my computer, us added 266,000 jobs last month when 1 million had been expected. biden's answer for this is more spending meaning more borrowing and higher taxes. >> today's report just underscores how vitally the actions we are taking are. checks to people who are hurting, today's report makes clear thank goodness we pass the american rescue plan, help is here at more help is on the way.

shannon: the means jacking up taxes on job creators and investors and taking that money and giving it to bureaucrats in washington who will spend it on green energy boondoggles and worthless social justice programs but here are the facts. it has never worked before and it is not going to work this time because we know what works, low taxes, low regulations and limited government. when people are given the freedom to flourish the economy grows and standard of living rise, that is what trump did and the results were sensational. he presided over the lowest average unemployment rate in us history and in contrast to joe's dismal jobs report trump regularly smashed expectations. >> this blows away expectations. >> the best number i have ever seen in my life. >> great jobs number has let

this market go from shrugged to hug. shannon: it to the deadly virus from china to the program to a halt and even then trump's handling the pandemic kept our economy stronger than europe. remember when the left was saying we should really europe? thank god we had a president who was smart enough to ignore those morons and give states the freedom they needed to chart their own courses. as we show you again and again and again, red states the didn't lockdown or open up early, ending the restrictions, far outpaced blue states that clung to the covid mandates, some still clinging to the stupid mandates but we are not just being held back by blue states, we are being held back by an administration in congress admitted to getting the prosperity of the american people. instead of empowering businesses

biden's promise to raise taxes through the roof while keeping the welfare spigot throwing, we are not saying he shouldn't help people, we should help some who lost their jobs because of the lockdown but has biden thought hard about the incentives created by paying people to sit at home, stay on netflix? the answer of course is no. >> the data shows more workers are looking for jobs. the idea they don't want to work on most middle-class working people i know think the way my dad did and say it is about respect, dignity, your place in the community. >> what about respect for the business community, they are fuming over biden's insane welfare benefits. >> normally you have 30, 40, 50, 60 people depending on -- three people respond to our ads and none of them showed up. we are supposed to hire people

but at the same time you're paying unemployment, created a conflict of interest so to speak. >> biden's team seems to want americans to get used to having a lower standard of living in the name of saving the planet. so right now there's an opening for the gop to put forth a middle-class agenda. number one, fully reopen all the states immediately, keep taxes and regulations low, revive the oil and gas sector, continue trump's trade policy with no swapping tariffs, we've got to control the border and replace the democrats in 2022-2024 with people who actually want the average american to succeed, don't want to live their life for them. in other words we need a swift return to the america first policies of trump. i know biden will dig in and keep bowing to his left flank

and we will continue to decline. remember jimmy carter didn't see the light either. under his policies america in the late 70s became weaker and poorer international psyche was hurting. we were embarrassed on the world stage with the iranian hostage crisis and if biden keeps doing what he is doing now, listen to the left flank, pushing for higher taxes, trillions in unnecessary spending what was the trump recovery will just become biden malaise and that is the angle. joining us now, larry kudlow, former trump white house economic advisor and host of foxbusiness's kudlow. biden thinks that today's numbers as i said in the angle show his plan is working. it is magic. what is your response? >> i think he was tongue-tied, couldn't quite figure out because on the one hand you are right, he says my plan is

working. on the other hand he said but it was a low number lower than anyone expected so therefore we have to do more. i am not sure how to figure it out. there is a lot in these numbers and it may not be as bad. americans have gone back to work but there is one thing worth noting. long-term unemployment 27 weeks or more unemployment, think of it as 6 months or so is not falling, it is not fallen at all, it is stuck at 4.2 million and that's because unemployment benefits are too generous and too long so you're getting structural unemployment because the incentives are not to work and that is in these numbers today. laura: biden is not the only one in denial about this. the labor secretary agrees that unemployment benefits are not the problem. >> he will not going back to

work because they're getting extra federal unemployment benefits, do you think that's the case? >> i don't think that is the case. there are barriers to people coming back to work, lots of issues around childcare, many of our kids are still in school in the hybrid model, some in person, some learning remotely. >> doesn't that mean everything needs to be opened immediately? there is vaccine out there, confidence is up, everything should open immediately. >> i agree with that. big city school systems, the teachers union are trying to keep close, we are giving them hundreds of billions of dollars and they don't want to teach and that does hurt employment, hurts what parents have to do to stay home with the kids but i will say this. all is not lost, wages went up a lot so that is really good. i don't think that has nothing to do with stimulus but wages went up a lot and actually the seasonal adjustments are terrible. unadjusted we had 1 million.

unadjusted jobs actually went up 1 million. >> larry kudlow is coming on the in the graham angle spinning this historically bad jobs number -- it was also down here like this makes no sense to me. this is one of the worst jobs numbers i have ever seen. >> let me make this point. we are still playing under trump rules because biden's agenda of tax and spend and whether the economy has not kicked in, he hasn't passed yet so we're still playing trump rules, low taxes, minimal regulations, energy independence. that is producing a very decent recovery from the pandemic, that's the point i want to make. biden's stuff, all that stimulus it in march is temporary and is going to go away. we are playing under trump rules

and that is why this is a decent recovery and if they leave it alone it would be a fabulous recovery. laura: biden is blaming trump for these numbers. >> reinforcing for years working people and middle-class people, people who built this country have been left out in the cold. we came in, the year of profound economic crisis in this management crisis. >> hundreds of millions of vaccine doses, it was on the upswing and now your call. >> the recovery, the recovery started last summer, that is a fact. donald trump's administration, operation warp speed created the vaccine is got it out with the distribution plan and now

business is opening and we are now recovering strongly. my point is this. biden can blame whoever you wants to blame, the public sees right through it, there is no crisis. there is no healthcare crisis. thanks to trump there's no covid crisis, thanks to trump we have low taxes and regulations, there is no house on fire, the economy is not crashing, global warming is not an x essential threat, there is no logic or facts to defend biden's assertions and that is important. >> don't you agree that if donald trump were still president we would have hundreds of thousands of more americans employed, maybe millions more americans employed because businesses wouldn't be anticipating a lot of these taxes coming down the pike and we wouldn't be putting pressure on the oil and gas industry

clamping down on exploration and so forth. of trump were still in their this would be humming, we wouldn't be having 266,000 jobs. >> i like humming, i like trump's policies, i helped to formulate them, you helped to formulate them, mildly point is there are no crises to justify $6 trillion in spending, you're going to love this, if biden's program goes through, us taxes will be higher in china's, okay cuecue-china's. on corporations, capital gains and inheritance, i ask you do we want american taxes to be higher than china's, that the america first policy -- >> taxing the job creators, great idea coming out of the pandemic, great to see you. i love sparring with you, the

economy getting up and running again is something the show has been screaming from rooftops and i just mentioned to larry open it up and it means having to make facemasks part of your every routine, it does not. scott gottlieb, we've been rough on him at various points, worth pointing out where he is right. here's his response about indoor mask mandates. >> we need to contemplate relaxing provisions with same speed and efficiency we put them in place. people put up with a lot of the last year. you've got a lot of compliance, public health officials need to preserve their credibility for future decision-making, we can slow roll this. >> professor of epidemiology doctor harvey richard joins me now. gottlieb is on the farm aboard of one of the big pharma companies, he knows fauci conference without it, the whole inground in washington dc but that was a pretty big statement given how especially liberals

are clinging to the masks like some religious artifacts, they just can't let it go. >> it is an interesting statement and we will only know to be answer to this empirically but we have to open because we got the tools to be open, vaccines, early vaccination treatment when the vaccines aren't good enough and for those are the tools we need and will pastored immunity, the epidemic is crashing down now almost every state so there's no reason not to be open including schools and summer camps, no reason not to be open. >> they are open, summer camps, but you to our kids are told they have 2 socially distant, have to wear masks even when outside and when they are swimming, my personal favorite. you can do these things but but but but but and in gottlieb's point he knows the numbers,

don't know how many times we talk about kids and covid but he knows the numbers and biden by the way is still giving americans 0 reason to get vaccinated. what do i mean by that? watch? >> when you are vaccinated? >> what about you? that is a joke, that is a joke. why am i wearing a mask? it is good policy to wear the mask. >> how is a good policy to force people to wear masks when they have been vaccinated or have natural immunity, t-cell immunity. how is that good policy at this given what we know? >> it's not good policy to force people to do anything. it's good policy for people to evaluate rationally with their interests are and make their own choices and most people will do that. mask wearing is a mild benefit at most so there's not a lot of

reason when people are already vaccinated for them to worry about getting infected after vaccination, that is 95% so what is the realistic risk they are taking by not masking -- >> something we've talked about for well over a year on this show is early intervention with covid. to the extent they're worried about not 100% of americans getting vaccinated, leaving behind what we already discovered to be in some cases quite effective early treatment of covid, you for a lot of the things, seen a lot of the studies on drugs like hydroxy caloric when but a range of treatments that have positive effects, and looking back on this was that a real myth by the united states and fda and the cdc?

>> definitely on this but not over, we still need those and have them and last year at this time we had one or 2 drugs, now we have 6 or 7 we know are generic, safe medications to use that should be used as at least the backup. when people can take the vaccine or choose not to take the vaccines for reasons of whatever medical or other circumstances there's backup for that or when the vaccines don't work we have backup for that, and early outpatient treatment which we know works and works very effectively. shannon: have a great weekend. the worst media offenders of the week coming up, the ingraham angle has its eyes on you, tape you don't want to miss next.

>> laura: we have become numb to it media bias. but "the ingraham angle" is keeping track of the worst offenders of the week. joining me now is fox news contributor. also a >> easy to become the media buys these days of beinggraham angle keeping track of the worst offenders of the week, joining me is molly hemingway, senior editor of the federalist, fox news contributor and federalist

senior editor. let's begin with cnn's jake tapper who believe it or not doesn't care that much for republicans. >> we can't have those debates if one side of the argument is not willing to stick to standards and facts. they are willing to lie about joe biden wanting to steal your hamburgers and q&a on and the big lie about the election what are they not willing to lie about? watch) any of them on tv? shannon: your reaction? >> it is a good point jake tapper raises. he was one of the reporters who was primarily pushing the falsehood that donald trump did not win the 2016 election but beneficiary, a traitor who colluded with russia, one of the authors of the dossier story that got everything going. i don't think he apologized for

what he did, and cost so many problems over the course of his presidency so jake tapper raises a good point, holding to his standard about the importance of truth telling. >> he said treats the political party is unacceptable, government agencies, the opening to treat supporters of that party is potential domestic terrorists. >> something we've been seeing, supporters of the president who have been targeted or rated like we saw in alaska but there is something here to jake tapper saying what molly said. some things people don't realize from watching him on television, he is extremely thin-skinned, egotistical psychopath, a 22-year-old reporter who criticizes him on twitter or something like that he is going to slip into your direct messages with threats and curses, no wonder he would actually from the republican party and i would say to kevin

mccarthy why would you go on jake tapper's show, they don't have great ratings and they are going to lie about you. >> we could spend all segment on that but moving to the media's development, cnn economic compensator as a very interesting excuse for these limp job numbers we talked about, take a listen. >> there are a number of reasons to be concerned about labor supply being suppressed, so that might have to do with the fact that they are getting more generous unemployment benefits but there other factors, the risk of getting sick at work, getting assaulted at work metallic customer to wear a mask. >> people are afraid to go to work because they will get assaulted for telling someone to wear a mask, she's an economics reporter, what?

>> i'm almost left speechless at that. when you pay people not to work that incentivizes them not to work and it can cause problems, this is an important story for an economics reporter to get right, just a couple years ago we had this huge blue-collar boom with wages and job growth for people who had not had historically great wages and job growth and it was going on for years and it stopped, we need to analyze why, see the role governments enforce lockdowns and incentivizing people not to work played a role in this, lack of border security affect the job market as well. it is complicated but not in the way that woman apparently thinks. >> she's technically a commentator but no doubt a media figure and that was a ridiculous point. next up florida is under passing its own voter integrity law but

the media hit desantis and the state gop with the usual. >> rhonda santos was proud to codify voter suppression into law on national television to me, florida, rhonda santos earned the dishonor of being the absolute worst. >> they will perish if they do not pass the restriction laws in every state. >> jim and jane crow, sally and every other crow we can imagine flying low to deprive people the right to vote, shameful and a sad day in american democracy. >> sad day in phraseology, the family of jim crows that are coming for your voting rights in florida. >> reminds me how frustrated people were when i was talking to, we drove to philadelphia from washington after the election talking to democratic voters, people were democratic operatives who said how frustrating it was to show up in

philadelphia every few years for an election and find out you already voted and need to have that undone to make the decision yourself, someone already checked that box. florida used after with their elections back in the day, they took a lot of time to fix that, nowadays they are a model for how to run an election, absolute model for the country because they are always tweaking, always trying to fix things, that's not suppression, that is making your vote count, places like philadelphia that is suppression when someone is voting for you and it happens a lot of cities. shannon: on the same topic, msnbc's police jordan tried to tie the same for voting law. >> the election law in florida is a lot of theater because that's what this is. so many people died on american soil on 9/11, security theater at airports the rest of our lives. with this how will elections fundamentally change because donald trump has this imaginary crisis. >> 9/11, a family on 9/11.

>> keep in mind what the law does in florida. you have to have a id, you have to have custody over ballot and can't have billionaires come in and privately fund election offices. these are so widely popular across the political spectrum that injury integrity in elections which is important for the future of the republic if you want to have a republic you have to have confidence in the election, that is an important thing people on both sides should say, find it fascinating that democrats and media figures are so opposed to restrictions on fraudulent voting. hard to catch fraud after the fact, you have to do it beforehand. why are they so opposed to it? what are they telling us about how they do things of this is a problematic for them. laura: especially with 5 million people from another country not legally allowed to vote this year. more and more come, more important to make sure only americans vote until they change

disneyland updated their snow white attraction, two san francisco reporters opined the final scene where the prince kisses snow white lacks consent and therefore is not true love. maybe if they each wore a mask, i thought, might cure this concern. maybe like the original version better where snow white's kaufman is jostled and the piece of poisoned apple flies out of her throat. maybe they would prefer that, no prince necessary. shannon: are we going to go through every cartoon and every old movie and dissect it according to these twisted new -- these people are the most

un-fun miserable people, no one is saying people shouldn't have consent, it is called romance. maybe they need to get a little in their lives. >> very telling they were offended by that, not the fact that you have a minor living with 7 strange men in the woods but leave that aside for now. biden gave a big job speech today but couldn't resist talking about that $2.5 trillion infrastructure plan in between gaffes. >> we proposed what we propose is going to work. we are going to get to 70%, to state the obvious, we have work to do. the majority of the jobs that have come back, in those industries, and so -- i know i am repeating myself and i will continue to because it is critical. i saw a project yesterday in new orleans, over 80 years old, a major overhaul and by the way if

they don't get it fixed, new orleans itself is in real trouble. >> upgrade the plant he is referencing, it would cost $100 million but his infrastructure plan sets aside $621 billion to address what it calls historic inequities in infrastructure. meaning racial inequities. >> he mentioned a stretch of the eye 10 expressway in new orleans. >> that is correct. a full report on this on monday. here's a preview of how people in this community actually feel about biden's infrastructure idea for their neighborhood. >> spend $20 billion to take this stretch of interstate that divides the community. what are your thoughts? >> it will mess up the street with all the traffic. put all the billions to the people that need it, not the bridge. we need the bridge.

>> people get together and get to work. >> you wouldn't support? >> to take the bridge out. >> a lot of people are speaking for this community, this traditionally black community and claiming this is what they want. on monday we will let them speak for themselves, seen and unseen. shannon: biden is not the only elected official who has become sick with the spending disease. congress is busy trying to earmark $6 billion for local and dogs. >> they included everything from 742,$000 for new york program to facilitate conversation such as racism, gender discrimination and cultural bias, 1,750,$000 for a japanese garden in oregon, 1 million for homeless

encampment in california and the one will most exciting you, 250,$000 earmarked to expand the michelle obama library in long beach which looks like a house of worship. >> is there a cathedral? >> every bookstore in the country, a little shrine. >> i didn't know she had a library named after her. >> in long beach. >> how much is the rest of the critical race theory crowd going to make of that 742,000 on racial confrontation, just have a conversation, don't have to get paid for it. can't wait for your report on monday. that is fascinating. the left likes to claim there are no examples showing how

>> by design, a gerrymandered definition of biological sex which narrowly excludes the sexual characteristic every expert agrees, the primary driver of athletic requirements of men and women and that is undulating. >> the circulating testosterone negates narrower hips and stronger muscle mass have larger hard, is that right? >> not at all. the aclu is wrong on this going out of testosterone will undo a larger hard and greater lung capacity, stronger muscles and greater explosive power. the reason we have women sports as a separate categories we recognize inherent physical differences between men and women and it is unfair to force female athletes like madison to compete against a biological male with these advantages.

>> to get involved and have a conversation, how many of your friends who are athletes agree with you but aren't willing to stick their neck out and say this isn't right? a lot? >> i would say a lot. i've been overwhelmed by the amount of support and thankful for it. it is great to have it but they agree and should be speaking out. >> a lot of young women are afraid to say anything because they are afraid of the head they will get on the other side. they want to go to med school, they are becoming very woke on this topic. >> they have the same opinion of me.

women's category women and girls, we've got to protect the integrity of women sports. laura: thank you. a stunning admission by the cdc director about her nation's core nation with the teachers union, the last bite next.
