accusations about president obama is having a meeting. press will be allowed in. there will be questions. see what we hear from him. thanks, chris. president trump may be taking some credit for today s strong numbers. in the past, he trashed the jobs reports, even when they have been good. don t believe those phony numbers when you hear 4.9% and 5% unemployment. the number is probably 28, 29, as high as 35. the worst jobs report in 6.5 years. 38,000 jobs. 5% figure is one of the biggest hoaxes. the end of last week, they came out with an anemic jobs report. a terrible jobs report. hmm, we are going to see what the president has to say about the numbers today. i m going to bring in bill cohen and author of why wall street
besides alec baldwin playing president trump on saturday night live. you may have to, folks, actor alec baldwin telling extra channeling trump is playing a toll on him. there s policy aside which you hate. i thought he would relax and say, hey, man, there s a style that say president has to have. i think the maliciousness has people worried which is why i m not going to do. baldwin has hosted for a record 17th time. he s not done. at some point, people are going to get tired of seeing him as trump. not yet. he says people won t be able to take it forever. let s get a check on cnn money stream, dave. dow futures are flat ahead of a steady trickle of important job data leading up to friday s jobs reports. shares in europe down, asia, closed mixed overnight.
should be the top priorities for the bill. let s talk jobs here if we can. 300,000 created last month as you know. president trump took credit for january s jobs reports and also taking credit for a number of companies keeping or adding jobs here, took credit for the jobs in february as well. how much job creation did you attribute to president trump? well look, the programs that he s talked about haven t been implemented yet. we haven t seen anything from infrastructure, that s going to be the big jobs bill. he s inherited some of the good and some of the not so good from the previous administration, and those are going to be attributed to him. his job plan is yet to be seen. it s yet to be implemented, and we re anxious to see infrastructure bill of a trillion dollars that uses buy american davis bacon prevailing wage and puts a lot of americans
trump did. let s hope it does, but it won t be because of anything trump did. he s got a gorgeous house down there in florida. i just don t think he can make it happen. i m sorry. i wish he could. but he is seeming to believe the bureau of labor statistics numbers on the jobs reports. california is considering whether or not, as you know, your state, whether it can become a sanctuary state. this is something the president opposes. e he has threatened to pull funding from the state. what s your reaction? he can t possibly pull funding. the state would go broke without it. the state of california is actiact ing illegally. the state of california is not in charge of immigration status. that s clearly unequivocally a federal government subject under the constitution. governor brown cannot just make up law. he s not god. he is not james madison.
