Today the president s strong leadership clear wily paying off for hard working clearly paying off for hard working americans who are going back to their jobs now by the millions. The Labor Department today reported the economy created an astonishing recordbreaking 4. 8 million jobs in the month of june. And the Unemployment Rate fell from 13. 3 to 11. 1 . President trump today held an impromptu White House Press briefing to perhaps enjoy this latest development in the Great American comeback. The United States economy added almost 5 million jobs in the month of june, shattering all expectations. The stock market is doing extremely well which means, to me, jobs. Thats what it means, jobs. It is the largest monthly jobs gain in the history of our country. Our economy is roaring back. Lou and some of the biggest job gains were in retail, manufacturing, Education Health services. More jobs are created for minorities across the board, and unemployment continued its downward trend. Africanamerican, hispanic and asian unemployment all declining. The Labor Departments report also showing a 5 year yearoverr increase in wages. The numbers, stunning positives for the economy, for the country and for the president. Even the leftwing National Media had to take a deep breath and celebrate, at least for a moment, this great news. Big hiring, 4. 8 million jobs. Its a big positive to see this much hiring across the board. Wow, these are really solid numbers. No other way to look at this but as good news. Theres an optimism in the country that i think is often not showered with people who are on shared with people who are on air because we dont see the hiring. [laughter] lou it hurt, but they did it, they got enthusiastic there for just a minute. Investors today enthusiastic throughout looking at that jobs report. The dow closed 92 points higher, the s p up 14, the nasdaq finishing 53 points higher for its 23rd record close of the year. Think about it, 23 record closes. Volume on the big board today, investors included getting ready for the holiday weekend, 4. 2 billion shares traded. For this short trading week, the dow finished more than 3 higher, the s p this week gained 4 , and the nasdaq up more than 4. 5 . And crude oil up more than a percentage, back above 40 a barrel. Our first guest tonight is the man who runs the Department Responsible for reporting all of this great news to the country. Joining us tonight is the secretary of the department of labor, eugene scalia. Mr. Secretary, great to have you with us. I have to, i would imagine you were just about giddy when you realized what you got to report today to the American People. It was really great news to be able to deliver, lou, youre right. You know, the predictions had been maybe wed add 3 million jobs in june, and it was so much better than that. We actually increased our assessment of how many jobs were added in may too, so over two months, 75 million jobs added 7. 5 million jobs added. As you touched on, across all demographic groups. Jobs added, lower unemployment, so just a terrific report. The other good news i see is i see more opportunities for many millions more americans to go back to work in the next few weeks. In health care, for example, we have about 900,000 fewer than we did back in february, but we know those people will be going back fairly soon. So just terrific news to head into this weekend with. Lou extraordinary news. And it appears that were looking at the prospect, the prospect at least, of that vshaped recovery from this disastrous three months that we, all americans have experienced. This, in your view, is it a v . Lets dismiss the w expect u. I think it looks more like a v, lou. Hard to say exactly what letter of the alphabet it is, but every indications is that it can be a strong recovery. That has been really my hope and expectation, because we did not have a weak economy. We had an incredible economy. And then we had a Health Problem that caused us to pause the economy. Ive always thought it wasnt right to compare this to the situation in the Great Depression or even what we were dealing with, you know, 10, 12 years ago. So i think we can continue to come back. But i will say theres still a lot of people that we want to help, we want to get back to work, and americans do need to continue to be careful, be safe, be disciplined so we can keep reopening safely. Lou no question about it. We are not, we are not in trajectory yet. We are at the beginning of that trajectory that we all are hoping for. But this is also a stunning report. To see this number of people come back to work this quickly shows the resilience of this economy. It also shows that the president of the United States made a, i think, a heroic decision the move ahead to move ahead when nearly every one of his advisers was saying lets be cautious, lets be careful. He understood clearly what was required of this economy and the american working family. This is not a country that is good at sitting idle, is it . Were not. Were made to be active, were made, were made for independence as were celebrating this weekend. And the president , he moved swiftly to respond to china, for example, as the virus began to look like it was heading our way, he moved swiftly to move legislation in march to help contend with it. And hes continued to look for ways to help working americans. You know, yesterday we celebrated the usmca going into force. I think thats another reason that were going to be looking a lot like the economy we had just a few months ago. We will get back there. And actions like the usmca, replacing nafta, nafta is gone as of yesterday. These really great things the president s done to get us all the way back. Lou yeah. Going across the entire first term of this, this president and his choices on economic policy, all of that contributing to what we arensing we are witnessing here today, at least the corroboration of it in your report. Mr. Secretary, great to have you with us. We thank you very much. Eugene and a lee a ya. Scalia. And keep it coming. Todays stellar jobs report comes as the nation reported more than 50,000 new cases of the china virus yesterday. That number, however, doesnt tell, doesnt begin to tell the whole story. While cases have spiked in a number of states, this graph shows that the china virus deaths in the country have actually fallen. Thats right. As the cases are rising, deaths are declining. The centers for Disease Control also reporting that more than half of the countrys states and territories have been conflating bringing together the results of both viral and Antibody Tests in their official counts. What does that mean . It means that those fighting the virus who are sick with it and anyone who carried it in the past are being lumped together. The cdc tells us just 24 states and guam have converted to the new and proper way of reporting cases to avoid that kind of confusion. Its extraordinary how scientists can get so screwed up. They also say the cdc did not recommend that state and jurisdictional Health Departments mix those viral and Antibody Test data on they are web sites, but some did. And sometimes the leftwing National Media finds that convenient to leave just the way they find them. The New York Times, the latest member of the socalled woke mob to rant against Mount Rushmore. The times tweeting that two of the president s featured on the mount George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were slave owners and that it was sculpted by a man with ties to the ku klux klan. This from the New York Times. The times sees Mount Rushmore as a symbol of racism. We see the New York Times as a symbol of ignorance. President trump will be at Mount Rushmore tomorrow evening to enjoy a fireworks display celebrating the 245th edition of Independence Day. If as the republic is under a level of attack not seen since the civil war. For more than three weeks now, anarchists and and black lives matter activists are occupied several city blocks in seattle. They named it c. H. O. P. For the capitol hill occupation project, or Something Like that, until they were forced out of the area yesterday. Finally, the mayor and the police chief did what the taxpayers pay them to do. At the site of the occupation, seattles mayor, jenny durkan, downplayed the threat and hailed the occupation as one Big Block Party despite the murders, rapes and assaults. Weve got four blocks in seattle that you just saw pictures of that is more like a block party atmosphere. Its not an armed takeover. Its not a military junta. We have block parties and the like in this part of seattle all the time. Its known for that. We could are a summer of love. We could have a her of love. Lou she is obviously not woke. She is, well, impaired. The summer of love turned into weeks of horror for far too many people and seattle residents. Two black teenagers killed in the occupied area, several other people shot, raped, robbed, and there was increased gang act death. Overall activity. Crime increased 76 from june 8th to june 30th compared to the same period a year ago. Despite the increase in crime, seattles police chief, carmen best, and officialdom of the Law Enforcement agencies in seattle talked nonsense. This is what she had to say after she had toured the reclaimed occupied area. I was just stunned by the number of, the amount of graffiti, garbage and property destruction. Lou you ask, what in hell did she expect . Well, across the country at our nations capital, federal Law Enforcement officers today arrested the ringleader of the mob that tried to knock down the statue of president Andrew Jackson in lafayette square. The president today highlighted his administrations crackdown on those violent vandals. I want to also thank all of Law Enforcement. The job youve done is incredible. We signed a bill, you play with our monuments or our statues, you go to jail for ten years. Its amazing how it all topped so fast. If stopped so fast. We let the local authorities handle it as long as possible but, ultimately, we said lets step in. We stepped in and it stopped. The American Dream is the sacred birthright of every american child. Thats what we have, is we have the American Dream. And nobodys going to shatter the American Dream. Not the anarchists, not the agitators, not the fools, not the looters. Theyre not going to have any impact on the national dream. Finish lou well, President Trump fighting for americas heritage while rino senators ron johnson, james lankford, Lindsey Graham and a few others are turning on the president. These ridiculous clowns of senators want to get rid of columbus day. If what a novel idea for them. What is the difference between them and a radical dem activist, these three milk toast senators . The federal holiday would be replaced with something called juneteenth. The senators say removing columbus day is for fiscal reasons, so federal workers wouldnt get an extra day off. These may i say to the people of texas, john cornyn and ron johnson in wisconsin, Lindsey Graham in South Carolina, please, dont send any more of these people to washington. There are already enough damn fools there without more of these rino, ridiculous fools. Its just stunning how they behave. And its time to call them what they are, and that is disastrous. Up next, the national leftwing media refuses to ask joe biden why he was trying to unmask a National Security designee of President Trump. Judicial watchs tom fitton is anxiously awaiting that answer in court. He joins us here next. Well be right back, stay with us. What you need. I wish i could shake your hand. Granted. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Miles to the job site. The campsite. And anything else we set our sights on. Miles that take us back to the places we want to go. And to the people who count on us. So, lets roll up our sleeves. Because weve got miles to make up. We live in the mountains so i like to walk. Im really busy in my life; im always doing something. Im not a person thats going to sit too long. In the morning, i wake up and the first thing i do is go to my art studio. A couple came up and handed me a brochure on prevagen.

Lou breaking news now, four democrac City Council Members in toledo, ohio, are now facing federal bribery and extortion charges, four members of the council, all democrats. The Justice Department says these four dems accepted thousands of dollars in bribes from local businesses in exchange for their votes. Also breaking tonight, the Supreme Court has just blocked the radical dems from trying to overthrow President Trump before the election. The Supreme Court wants to hear arguments this fall on whether to release grand jury materials from Robert Muellers fraudulent special counsel investigation. A ruling by necessity would not be made until after election day. Also breaking tonight, Judicial Watch i suing the state department to learn why former president obamas u. N. Ambassador, samantha power, of all people was unmasking those close to trump including general michael flynn. The former u. N. Ambassador testified to congress that the unmasking request may be under her name, but she didnt make those requests. Well, lets find out. Power unmasked flynn seven times between 2016 election and President Trumps inauguration. Well, joining us tonight to take this up and more, tom fitton, president of Judicial Watch. Tom, good to see you. Samantha power has a defense. Somebody in her office was doing these terrible things, and she apparently doesnt have a clue, knows nothing about it. What do you make of it . Well, lets see the documents. Where are the documentses . You know, we had asked for these documents back in 2017. We got the run around. Weve sued. The state department, under President Trump, unfortunately, told us they couldnt neither confirm nor deny whether she asked anyone to be unmasked, let alone the numbers. Then finally the odni under ratcliffe and grenell released the unmasking information about general flynn, so that defense fell away. To were back in federal court again. And, again, this is only a partial request in the sense that, as you pointed out earlier, Vice President biden a had unmasking requests, you had other agencies unmasking the trump team as well. It even goes if into the if oval office with the president s chief of staff unmasking flynn. When your listeners hear unmasking, they should substitute the word spying. This was spying on american citizens using our intelligence apparatus. If. Lou you know, my guest is most americans, tom, doesnt even had never heard of unmasking until the Obama Administration had wiretapped, if you will, President Trump. And he said famously that he was being wiretapped, and the leftwing National Media mocked him and scoffed. And, by god, they hadnt waited for him to get into the oval office. He had been wiretapped in his campaign, he had been spied on through his campaign, through the transition and right into the oval office. It is stunning, what has been going if going on. Yeah, if i were President Trump, id call in all the cabinet and say, you know what . I want you to find out what your agencies were doing with the unmasking, and i want full disclosure to the American People so we can get accountability. Enough with the secrecy. We know what youre covering up, were covering up misconduct, and why is it that Judicial Watch has to sue for information about this wild abuse of power by the obama gang . Lou because somebody, apparently, has made a decis
