Fox News host Laura Ingraham and Fox Business’s Dagen McDowell clashed with former Obama adviser Robert Wolf Wednesday evening at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) while discussing what Ingraham called the Biden-Harris jobs numbers “scandal”

U.S. officials overestimated the number of jobs in the national economy by 818,000 between April 2023 and March 2024, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed in data released Wednesday. Ingraham was outraged over the misreported jobs numbers under the Biden-Harris administration, noting that “investors made investments” based on the false data.

“Investors made investments based on those numbers. This is a massive scandal in my view,” Ingraham said.

McDowell told Ingraham and Wolf that “the manufacturing industry has already been in a recession for over two years,” informing them that the report shows “manufacturing lost 115,000 jobs.” Ingraham argued that most job growth has been in hospitality and government jobs.

“If this had happened under Trump, ya’ll would have been going crazy,” Ingraham said.

Wolf tried to paint a rosy picture of the Biden-Harris economy compared to Trump.

“So, just to put some facts on the table — so, yes, for one-year period, they reduced it from 250,000 per month to 175,000. Which still makes — including if I take out the Covid year for former President Trump — he averaged about 180,000 jobs per month. President Biden, including this revision today, is 250,000. You know the math, 250,00 is greater than 180,000, and I’m taking out the Covid influence,” Wolf said.

Wolf and Ingraham argued over energy production and imports, with Wolf saying the Trump administration imported more barrels from Venezuela each month. Ingraham said this was “because the economy was growing.”

“10 million barrels per month we took in from Venezuela under former President Trump. Under 2 million under President Biden. Energy independence? The highest it’s ever been in the history,” Wolf said, and Ingraham interjected.

“Who believes that? So, when we cut off drilling on federal lands,” Ingraham began as the former Obama adviser continued talking. “Don’t get upset, you’re a big boy! You can take a strong woman!”

Ingraham asked Wolf to clarify if he believes cutting off federal lands from drilling increases energy independence, prompting him to say energy companies have “excess permits” and are “not even drilling.” He told Ingraham that excess profits made are going toward “renewables,” which she countered by asking why Democrats believe oil companies are “part of the problem.” (RELATED: ‘Are You Kidding Me?‘: Former ‘The View’ Co-Host Slams Kamala Harris’s ‘Lack Of Ability’)

McDowell chimed in, pointing out that Harris believes fossil fuels are “part of the problem.”

“She co-sponsored the Green New Deal, which would result in $8,000 more for every American household. Own it! That would eliminate all fossil fuels — period — by 2050. Own it! She has proposed getting rid of hydraulic fracturing. That’s how we get two-thirds of oil in this country and three-quarters of our national gas. Own it!” McDowell chided.

“But she will not get in front of a camera and say where she stands today,” McDowell continued. “She has people feed crap to the media because she doesn’t want the Trump campaign to cut ads with her truth.”

Harris has yet to formally address the media in a sit-down interview or news conference since President Joe Biden endorsed her for president 32 days ago.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
