The S P 500 setting new Record Closes. We have fox team coverage, charleS Payne in New York tells us how this all plays into the big economic picture. We begin with white House CorrespondentKristin Fisher and the president s spin on the numbers today. Good evening, kristin. Good evening, bret. No surprise here, the White House and republicans are interpreting todays Jobs Report in drastically different ways. The White House says it iS Proof that the country needs these massive multitrillion dollars Spending Bills now more than ever. But republicans argue that some of the things in that first big Spending Bill are precisely what led to these weaker than expected numbers. It may be the biggest miss in decades, forecasterS Predicted gains of close to A Million jobs in april. Buff when the data came out this morning it, revealed that the u. S. Economy had only added 266,000. And the Unemployment Rate picked up to 6. 6 to 6 in march. I want to put todays Jobs Report in perspective. President biden quick to try to put the White Houses spin on the record. Listening to commentators today. [laughter] thats as i was getting dressed, you might think that we should be disappointed, but when we passed The AmericanRescue Plan, i want to remind everybody it was designed to help us over the course of a year, not 60 days. The president says the u. S. Still has a long way to go, but he believes the countrys economic recovery is on the right track and that hiS PolicieS Put it there. Its a testament to our new strategy of growing this economy from the Bottom Up and the middle out. But republicans argue the Administrations Strategy is actually hurting the economy, especially the enhanced federal Unemployment Benefits included in The AmericanRescue Plan. Systematically paying Unemployment Benefits that are more than a person makes working doesnt create an environment thatS Particularly conducive to going back to work. A belief that got backed up today from the u. S. Chamber of commerce says the report makes it clear that paying people not to work is dampening what should be a stronger jobs market. Adding based on the chambers analysis, the 300 benefits results in approximately one in four recipients taking home more in unemployment than they earned working. Treasury secretary Janet Yellen says there is no question that businesses are having a hard time hiring workers but she blames it on something else. Care giving responsibilities and absence of Child Care are still important reasons why people are unable to return to work. You know, concern about the pandemic and the health consequences, i think, remains a factor for many. I really dont think the major factor is the extra unemployment. But the republican governor states like South Carolina and montana disagree and are now ending those extra Unemployment Benefits for their residents next month. Bret . Bret and kristin, you have a little news yourself tonight. I do, from the Jobs Report to my own job, this is my last live shot on my last day at Fox News, and i have had an incredible run. I started out six years ago on the early morning weekend shift. I made it all the way to the White House, which is something that has been at the very top of my Career Bucket List ever since i was a very little girl. But, i just realized that there is a few other things on that list that i would like to try to tick off. So, before i go, i just want to thank fox for trusting me with this seat and for giving me so many opportunities and, bret, it has been an absolute pleasure to work with you, the entire White House team, and everybody on the special Report Team as well. Bret you did a fantastic job and we will miss you terribly. Im going to miss you. Bret thank you. Thank you. Bret stay in touch. Live from the North Lawn a live shot. A live shot on friday. Thank you very much. Thank you. Bret the dow set a new Record Close after gaining 229. The S P 500 was up 3 to a Record Finish as well. The nasdaq jumped 119 for the week. For the week the dow gained two and two thirdS Percentage points. The S P 500 was up one and a quarter. Of the nasdaq if it please be issue inned down 1. 5. What about all of that . Lets get analysis from charleS Payne of the Fox Business network. Charles, thanks for joining us. Start out with that the markets jumped today. Why if the Jobs Report is so dismal . Charles the perception has been that our economy was so hot, you know, the narrative just two or three months ago is that we were going to have month after month after month of 1 Million pluS People coming back, getting jobs in this Labor Force and we had other parts of this economy that have long been in a vshaped recovery from manufacturing to the housing boom. We have commoditieS Prices through the roof. Record prices for lumber and things like that. So the assumption was that the economy was sizzling and then, well, we have this sort of a awakening this morning because, even though 1 Million was the official consensus, bret, there were a lot of folks on Wall Street that had model for up to 2 Million jobs being created. What this means is that the reserve can be held at bay. By the way, thats what they want to be. Jerome powell the chair of the Federal Reserve has really tried so hard. I mean, he has tried to tell Wall Street that no matter what, he is going to keep Interest Rates low. But they didnt believe him. But today he got a break. And, you know, so if anyone had a sigh of relief when those numbers came out it was Jerome Powell who had been saying that the Labor Market Wasnt where it should be. No one believed them. They believed him today. The Stock Market went up because the feds is not going to take away the Punch Bowl of essentially very low Interest Rates and a combination that includes buying 20 Billion worth of assets every month to get that money into the economy. Bret you know, you heard the president in that piece Kristin Fisher saying, you know, kind of chuckling saying everybody was down playing these numbers but its going to take time. Labor secretary was on Americas Newsroom this morning saying something similar. Take a listen. Under normal circumstances, 266,000 jobs would be a Great Day. But, were obviously not living in normal times. You know, we still have a ways to go a steep climb out of the pandemic and i dont know if we can call it a recession but from the economic crisis that we are in. Bret any White House spins but what do you make of what they are saying there . Charles you know, it was really disingenuous. On The One happened when i listened to President Biden struggled to wanting to take a Victory Lap having the most jobs created than any president in History And Shear devastation so much so that we have to pass an additional 4 trilliondollar in emergency spending. By the way, most of that will create longterm Entitlement Programs where people we get back to the central question is it right to pay people not to work. Is it right to pay people to discourage them from working . Is it right to pay people to encourage them to perhaps have more children without getting married . All of these things are on the take right now. And i have got to tell you, bret. Its disingenuous to suggest that paying people not to work is not a major problem. Its not political. It has nothing to do with republicans or democrats. Listen to the organizations. Last month the national federation of independent businesses, the largest organization for small businesses said 42 of their respondents had Job Openings and No One would fill them. And alltime record by far. The month before that, the Kansas City fed manufacturing survey. Businesses were pulling their hair out. One guy said to them they said well, you know, explain whats going on. He says i cant get applicants, not even bad ones for these Job Openings. So, this is not new. This is not shocking that people are not working because they do not have to work. I want to give you an example. Go back to february of 2020. The federal government paid out 27 Billion in Unemployment Benefits. Last month it was 5 40 billion. We have gone over 8 Trillion in Emergency Unemployment benefits from may to last month. An average of over 600 Billion a month. ItS People are not working because they do not have to work. And heres the sad thing about it, a lot of those folks are going to have skills that erode and when this thing turns around they will find themselves in a very difficult situation. If you are young, 23, 24 years old and this iS Presented to you maybe you take this route because itS Pretty clear we have 7. 4 million jobs that are open right at this very moment there should have been more filled this last month. Bret yeah, pretty amazing when you go over those numbers. CharleS Paytoplay, thank you so much. Charles charleston you can see. Bret can you see Making Money with charleS Payne every weekday on Fox Business. We appreciate it Homeland Security Secretary mayorkas was on the southern Border Today to receive update on the immigration crisis. He toured a Holding Facility in donna, texas. Mayorkas says there are be average hold time of 26 hours. He says the Biden Administration has made dramatic progress in dealing with the surge but that challenges remain. Congressional republicans are law firming new Efforts Tonight to get information about the origins of the coronavirus. They want to know if there is any truths to reports of ties between the now infamous lab in wuhan and chinas military. Lucas tomlinson has details. Lawmakers continue demanding answers how coronavirus from china was unleashed on the world. Wisconsin Republican Mike Gallagher writing dr. Anthony fauci urging him to find out if the virus escaped from a lab backed by the chinese military. Calling it the most important question facing the world today. The evidence is stacking up in favor of the Lab Leak Hypothesis but admittedly we dont know. What im saying is we should know. We need to get to the about the of it. Many scientists and lawmakers like gallagher accuse the chinese government of a coverup. At the White House, Jen Psaki was asked if President Biden iS Pushing his chinese counterpart for more information. The president believes there should be an independent Investigation Led by Health Experts and one where data iS Provided and provided to medical and science experts here in the united states. Gallagher wants to know about the chinese labs funding. Shouldnt we at least examine the Lab Leak hypocritical sis and understand if u. S. Money was involved in it. The World Health Organization released a report in march calling the Lab Theory Quote extremely unlikely. Three other republicans wrote secretary of state tony Blinken Request he release all documents from a State Department Report issued in the final days of the trump administration. Are we going to guarantee to the world that were going to get to the bottom of how this originated . Well, i think we have to because we need to do that precisely, so we fully understand what happened in order to have the best shot possible to preventing it from happening again. With a democratic majority in the house its not clear if these investigations will ever be launched so far its only republicans calling for them. Bret . Bret lucas, thank you, President Biden is in a tough Spot Tonight trying to balance his Energy Policy with the need to get support from progressives. It has to do the president S Plan to give Tax Breaks to producers of Nuclear Power. Correspondent rich edson joins us with specifics tonight. Good evening, rich. Good evening, bret. Biden administration appears ready to back a major federal boost to The American nuclear industry aS Part of the president s aggressive climate goal of Carbonfree Power by 2035. The deal is not historically subsidize plants, but i think this was a moment to consider were not going to be able to achieve our Climate Goals if our Nuclear Power plants shut down. We have to find ways to keep them operating. Nuclear industry faces rising costs. Aging infrastructure, competition from other energy sources, and political opposition. There are plans to close reactors at two nuclear plants in illinois this year. New york states Indian Point shut last week and only one reactor has come online in the past 20 years. Though two new reactors are under construction in georgia. Nuclear power accounts for about 20 of american Electricity Generation and more than half the countrys emissions free electricity. Democratic senator Joe Manchin chairs the Senate Energy Committee in a letter to the president he writes, quote i urge you to take action to preserve our existing nuclear fleet and prevent further closures. I believe the federal government must use all the tools it has to protect this vital resource. Some environmentists argue that depending on nuclear will only delay the development of renewable sources like the Dropping Costs for wind and solar. Some Progressive Democrats oppose nuclear, that includes senator elizabeth warren. She has said that she wants to phase out Nuclear Power by 2035. Senator Bernie Sanders green new Deal Pledge says, quote we know that the Toxic Waste by products of nuclear plants are not worst the risk of the tech nos benefit. We will not rely on any false solutions like nuclear. If the White House and grecial leaders despite to support nuclear despite these will it is unclear how much they are will to spend on these tax credits. Bret, back to you. Bret we will follow this.

They are also charged for their failure to provide floyd with medical care. There are Questions Tonight about several members of the Biden Administration and their ties to progressive Dark Money groups. The president has called for an end to such organizations. Here is correspondent mark meredith. So if you can help me, chip in 2, 5, anything. Its no secret, money and politics go Hand In hand. But watchdog groups say voters should monitor the impact of socalled Dark Money. Political contributions dispersed by groups that do not disclose who their donors are. Dark money is traditionally been something people think of benefiting conservatives or republicans but it has become very much a part of democratic infrastructure as well. The Center For Responsive Politics estimates dark Money Spending topped A Billion Dollars in 2020. Even some established politicians are shocked by its use. They come into a state. You dont know who is giving the money. They beat the hell out of you and they leave and you dont know what their agenda is. Foxnews. Com examined how dark Moneys Influence may impact the Biden Administration. It found several biden staffers have ties to organizations who rely on Dark Money from v. A. Secretary Dennis Mcdonough to white House Chief of staff Ron Klain who once served on the board for the center of american progress action fund. As for the president s feelings on Dark Money, he told a crowd in 2019 hes against it. What are you going to do about Dark Money in politics . In 500 words or less. Number one, take none of it number two, end it. The White House says it supports an Election Reform Bill like hr1 which supporters say could end Dark Money in politics. The controversial proposal has already passed the house but faces much tougher odds of passing in the senate. Mean time 38 democratic senators are call on the irs to once again require Interest Groups and unions to report donors names and addresses to the government. Those requirements were dropped last year under the trump administration. Bret . Bret mark, thank you.

Bret we have another story about the deep divisions among some parents and educators concerning the teaching of race in schools. Some parents in california now say their children are being taught to Hate America and that white people are oppressors. Chief correspondent Jonathan Hunt reports tonight from orange county. These studies can help bring us together. They tonight have to tear us apart. The case for tackling race and social distancing in Public School classrooms i think it creates more division. And the case against. [school bell] as ethnic Study Electives for high schoolerses are added to the classrooms across the nation as well as social distancing standards in the case of loss Al Mitt ToeSchool District includes k through 12 district recognizing traits of the dominant Culture And Injustice at the institutional or systemic level. Im a big advocate he looks like me. I will play with him. I havent seep it. It would be nice that we didnt notice Race And Gender at the early age but the reality is we do. Once we recognize that we do, really perceive Race And Gender all the time, should we take an Ostrich Head in the Sand Approach to that fact and ignore it or should we confront it and look at it . But to opponents a curriculum that is supposed to be antiracist is the complete opposite. It teaches children to separate people by color it teaches children that black people are oppressed and that they dont have a way to be successful when thats clearly not true. The District Superintendent here dr. Andrew pulver did not respond to many of our requests for comment. But he has told parents the District Isnt Teaching critical race theory. He describes it, instead, as a culturally responsive instruction. Bret . Bret jonathan, thank you. Well, in divisive and partisan times with various issues like that, seeming to pull the country apart, there are new calls for unity, how to achieve that really is the main question. One man making that call is tim shriver, Special Olympics chairman, also the coauthor of the new book The Call to unite voices of hope and awakening. Tim, thanks for being here. Thank you for having me, bret. Bret you know, i have gone through this book and there are some great phrases in here from spiritual leaders and religious leaders, poets, thinkers, really great thoughts but in reality of getting unity in this country in the face of what we are facing, how do we tackle that . Well, you know, i think, bret, its complicated. We are at a difficult and painful time in our countrys history. I think we can all agree on that. Every poll suggests that most americans think our country is deeply divided, its a terrible problem and that they want it to change. Thats the point. I think the most important point that this book captures is that there are many, many, many americans who have a voice that is trying to be exercised to be heard to say actually we can overcome the divisions. We can listen to one another. We can see in Each Other dignity. So, you know, this is a book that is i call it for the starving majority. Those of us who dont want to lose hope. You know, who dont want to give up on Each Other. Some of us have, you know, you know your viewers, many of them have given up on democrats or on independents or on people from another perspective. And the same is true of the viewers of other Cable Outlets and other news outlets. We seem to be dividing much more and giving up on Each Other. This is a book for people who want to not give up and give it a try. Keep trying. Bret yeah. Let me read a quote from what wrote in here we need more uniters now we division is not the same as disagreement its not the belief that i can do better if you do worse. Its the belief that you have to do worse for me to do better. This belief can poison any demographic difference we have, whether its rich, poor, black, white, muslim, christian, conservative, liberal, urban rural. We are seeing some of this and this is conservative liberal concern about what you say and cancel culture and we see a lot of those stories. We just saw that School Story about the Race Issue in schools. These are big hurdles and it seems like the message out of this book is to listen first. You know, i think so. I think the way to tell you know, we just saw a version of the story about critical race theory, cultural competence, diversity, our children learning to appreciate and love and care about Each Other because they understand Each Other better. I think thats what we want. We dont want a situation where children learn about Each Other so they hate more. I mean, we saw Tyler Perry at the academy awards. Thats the same lesson i learned as a kid. I bet you learned it as a kid. Hate is a dirty word in our house when i was a kid. Its not a dirty word in our culture anymore. I think we need a news beat, i mean, im campaigning here for a job, bret. I think Fox News ought to have someone on the air whose job it is to cover the uniter news beat. Those people who arent just telling good stories. These are stories, hard one stories of people doing the hard work to deepen understanding, to open the door, to Connection And Communication and to find new solutions. You know the numbers. How many americans want solutions to the problem of immigration or guns or Education Reform . Vast majorities want these changes. And, yet, we are stuck fighting Each Other as though if i win and you lose the country wins. Thats a Nowin Solution for our future. Bret well, the book is called The Call to unite tim shriver, we have you back and we may sign. Thank you, i hope people will get the book. I dont know if im going to earn that title. I hope people will consider the book as something to give to themselves or give to their friends if they are in a Situation Stblr Pain or struggle or grief. Dont give up hope. There is a lot of americans out there who want the to support you and keep working for the country that we all know we deserve. Bret well, thank you. Have a good one. Thanks, tim.

Mean time the World Health Organization is giving Emergency Use Authorization to a vaccine manufactured by a chinese company. The move paves the way for millions of doses to reach needy countries through a program backed by the united nations. Military and veteran Supervisors Organizations are trying to get more troops vaccinated. Today, pfizer applied for full authorization of its formula that could change the militarys reluctant so far to order hesitant troops to get vaccinated. National Security CorrespondentJennifer Griffin shows us tonight. Charles eggston served 16 and a half years in the army. Three and a half at Walter Reed after being hit by Roadside Bomb on third tour in iraq. I have had all kinds of vaccines. I definitely wasnt trying to die from Shear Stupidity from not taking a shot. He was among the original Walter Reed whistleblowers who alerted the world to the black mold that was harming injured vets returning from iraq and afghanistan. His mission now fighting Vaccine Hesitancy among troops and veterans. Its not even apprehension. ItS Pretty much stupidity. Because if you see people dying in other countries, begging to have this device it so they could live another day or live another year, whatever the case is, you should be on board. Eagleston got the Pfizer Shot but his mother rebecca died two months ago waiting for hers infected by unvaccinated nurse at her Retirement Home in virginia beach. She was waiting for them to give her the shot. And she contracted it from her nurse. She basically infected half a dozen folks before they infected another dozen folks. The military is barred from ordering troops to get a vaccine that only has Emergency Use Authorization. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin encouraged more Service Members to roll up their sleeves and get the vaccine like he did. I think armed with the right information, accurate information, troops will make good choices. Blue star families did the original survey that alarmed the pentagon about Troop Concerns over covid vaccines. The majority of Military Family Members and Service Members were reluctant to get the vaccine and even larger numbers didnt feel comfortable with the idea of giving it to their children. Pfizer submitted a Request Today for the fda for full approval. If it gets it, the pentagon may change its mind about ordering troops to get the vaccine to protect themselves and their units. Bret . Bret Jennifer Griffin at the pentagon. Jennifer, thank you. Up next, the panel on President Bidens insistence the u. S. Economy is on the right track despite that disappointing Jobs Report today.

And its a testament to our new strategy of a growing this economy from the Bottom Up and the middle out. Its a clear testament to why its so needed. Some critics said that we didnt need The AmericanRescue Plan. That this economy would just heal itself. Todays report just underscores, in my view, how vital the actions were taking are. Obviously very disappointing numbers this morning. We are getting a little orwellian when it comes to the language we hear from this administration sometimes. Im hoping this is an anomaly that we see with this disappointing Jobs Number and that we will be back on a much more robust path in the coming weeks and months. Bret well, the president saying this is just part of the progress in the plan for the u. S. Economy and that its on the right track. Republicans, other experts saying this was a really bad Jobs Report, 266,000 jobs added, 6. 1 Unemployment Rate. They were expecting 975,000 jobs added for april. Maybe even A Million. What about this . And the state of the u. S. Economy and where we are headed . Lets bring in our panel charles hurt Opinion Editor for the washington times. Harold Ford Jr. Former tennessee congressman, ceo of Empowerment Inclusion Capital and jonah goldberg, Editor And Chief of the dispatch. Jonah, every White House tries to do a little spin. This was major spin. If you are missing it by 900,000 jobs. Yeah. I mean, this is the kind of spin that you risk internal torsion for Daniel Patrick Moynahan used to use a phrase genic government. Reference to when doctors try to treat a problem actually create problem. There is a lot of there is a lot of reason to be concerned that the overly excessive Unemployment Insurance is actually dampening down demand for jobs. Not demand from the employers but from people not willing to give up very generous and not in many cases necessary benefits. And its a very weird spin from this administration to say that that they have spent trillions on creating jobs, braggings about the jobs and then when the jobs dont materialize they immediately say well that means we have to spend trillions more. Bret yeah, so that issue about Unemployment Benefits keeps on coming up, and the White House keeps on pushing back. In fact, the Treasury Secretary was out, white House Press Secretary being asked these questions about Unemployment Benefits. Take a listen. Starting up an economy again, trying to get it back on track after a pandemic in which there were a lot of Supply Bottlenecks is going to be, i think, a bumpy process. But i really dont think the major factor is the extra unemployment. Though some individual employers may be experiencing increased difficulty finding workers, we havent seen widespread Labor Shortages are not yet evident in the data. Bret im not sure, harold, how they can say that as far as i mean, we are Hearing Anecdotally from a lot of businesses around the country that are having a hard time finding workers erin. That. Could very well be the case. I served in congress 10 years. These big moments remind me of times when both parties do the easy thing. They both retreat to the Sound And Fury and talking points of the moment. We should be organizing everything we do economically, everything we do from a national Security Standpoint around the words from ourselves, former the words of our former Cia Director and secretary of Defense Bob gates who you had on just the other night. This is about a challenge with china. Dont get me wrong, im not suggesting that there are not some issues with the Employment Force and finding ways to to incentivize people going back to work. This is a maul moment in a huge Feature Film here. If we dont if i can out ways to invest in the things that we need to invest in for the next 5 to 10 to 15 to 20 years of a battle, of you new Cold War we are kidding ourselves. If we dont find ways to do what mr. Shriver said a little while ago find ways to come together which means that Joe Biden ought to be focused on a bipartisan deal on infrastructure. He has done the things he had to do with his own party. Its now time to advance something thats going to advance the country with broad support. Even if that means coming down from the 1. 9 trillion which democrats have laid out from the outset. Bret well, listen, harold, the fact that you have a lot of people on Wall Street now saying that the market improved today because they saw the bad Jobs Report and said well, that takes away the concern about the overheating that a lot of people were worried about. Pumping tons and tons of money in here and then that it was going to be super charged. It still may but thats one of the reasonS People thought the money went up today. It might have been. If we are in the businesS Predicting what move these markets when President Trump was elected that night it dropped and rose again later the next morning. The market can correct itself quickly. What the market wants is the predictability, stability, i can promise you this. If we dont find ways to counter, compete with, and show that we can beat china, our Market Wont Respond favorably in the longterm. Charlie, what about this today, big picture . Well, i think that without a doubt you cant ignore the fact that one thing that a lot of people are not talking about right now is that the Jobs Numbers has to be affected somewhat by the fact that so many schools are still closed and a lot of families, you know, you know, plan their working schedule around schools. And when schools are closed its kind of hard for you to work. But, there is no doubt that when you pay people to stay home and not work, if the federal government does that then people are going to stay home and not work. And the idea that somebody like Janet Yellen is going to sit there and argue that that has no effect, she really should get out of the business of economics because im not an economist but obviously if the government is going to pay you to do something, people are going to do it. But i think, you know, the most startling thing about all of this is to look at the enthusiasm on Wall Street and listen to somebody like Joe Biden talk about how this is all great news when, obviously, its not great news. And honestly, i think that what Wall Street is seeing is they look at the southern border and they see thousands and thousands of people they view that as cheap labor coming across the border and thats why they think that this is so great. It doesnt bother them that americans are not going back to work. Not finding good employment, not finding good jobs as long as they get cheap labor coming into this country and Joe Biden is doing nothing to stop it, thats great for them, as far as their concerned. Bret yeah, i dont think a lot of people are surprised when people that make more by staying home are choosing to stay home. All right, winners and losers here. Jonah .
