A graphic with a dark navy header band containing white text, flanked by two circular presidential-style seal emblems (eagle with "45" and "47"), above a thin gold stripe. Below is a line chart on a white background with a thick blue line. The y-axis runs 0 to 30 and the x-axis runs from just before FEB to NOV. The line starts near 25 in Jan–Feb and stays flat through early March. It then drops steeply to about 9 in mid-March, where a red arrow points at the low with the red label "Hormuz shuts". The line stays near 9–10 through April and May, then climbs through June to a peak near 27–28 in July. It falls to about 23 in August, dips near 21 in early September, and ends around 23 in late September/early October. A black label "2025 average level" sits at the top left of the chart near the 25 level, and a green "100%" is at the right at about the same height. The chart has no unit label on the y-axis and no data source. It is a promotional-style graphic asserting that oil has returned to its pre-war level after the Strait of Hormuz closed.

welcome back America you know Steve Moore it's a pleasure to have you back unleash prosperity co-founder former Trump economic advisor and really one of the best economists out there and Steve Moore I want to discuss this with you because it's not going to be discussed anywhere else right which is part of the problem the media basically have thrown a pillow over the economy and are suffocating the news about it we have an economy that is expanding we've an economy that is expanding for the middle class and for poor people in terms of creation of jobs wealth creation opportunity creation we also have some people Steve Moore who are saying you know just feel the public's pain feel the pain understand the pain be empathetic with the pain I don't have a problem with that but how about we get the facts on the table and talk about what's actually going on in this country you're the man to do it so let's get started what's going on in this country economically well listen this is a blockbuster economy in so many ways now I understand people are upset about paying you know four dollars and twenty nine cents a gallon for gasoline and that is a problem but if you look at so many of these other elements of the economy and just since the last time you and I talked which was a month or two ago the numbers just keep getting better so for example just the other day the energy department reported that we are in the United States producing more oil and gas than any other time in American history mark more own guests were the number one producer of oil and gas that didn't happen by accident it's because Donald Trump put in place drill baby drill whereas you know Joe Biden his predecessor tried to kill the oil and gas industry imagine if we had had Biden for four more years we'd be paying seven eight dollars a gallon for gasoline how about the fact that Trump truly is the blue-collar president you look at what's happening with manufacturing construction virtually all-time highs in terms of job creation in terms of output by our construction and manufacturing industry great news for middle-class workers how about the fact that if you look at people's 401k plans and as you know we've got something like 120 million American families that have 401k plans and other retirement plans those are up just since Trump came into office for a second term of $25,000 in value by the way they fell those plans fell in value under Joe Biden how about this one that they revised upward the GDP both for the previous quarter and this quarter we're running at three and a half to four percent those are blockbuster numbers those are numbers that almost no other country can report on so overall I'm gonna rate this a B+ economy yes inflation is a problem but all these other things that nobody's talking about are so universally positive let's talk about inflation the problem yeah it's a lot lower than it was just two or three years ago is yes yeah now this is a really important point if you take the average inflation rate per year under Biden it was 5% the average inflation rate since Trump has taken office is 3% now it's running at about 3.4% but I'm here to tell you as soon as we bring that oil price down you're gonna see prices fall rather dramatically so that's a big difference 5% inflation under Biden 3% inflation under Trump and yet the Democrats are saying put us back in power we're gonna lower the inflation rate now may make another point about this because it's very important and we chatted about this previously but it's it's more important now than ever where is inflation worse where which states have the highest energy prices gas prices electricity prices housing prices nine of the ten states that are most expensive to live in ready for this mark nine of the ten states with the highest cost of living our blue states California New York New Jersey my home state of Illinois Connecticut Massachusetts now wait a minute we're gonna put these people in power and they're gonna lower your prices I don't think so they can't do it in their own states they never tell us how they're gonna lower prices and I don't think they can't Steve Moore because they they're the ones who kept driving prices up and as a matter of policy they should be thrilled with the price of a gallon of gasoline because as you point out they wanted it at seven or eight dollars a gallon and if they get back in office does anybody actually think they're gonna tolerate us as the number one producer of oil in the world at this record level no they're not gonna tolerate that they're gonna clamp it all right down and I want to pursue that with me when we come back we'll be right back welcome back America Steve Moore I'm trying to figure out exactly how the Democrats are gonna lower the price of anything when you look at these Democrat states you're talking about nine out of ten the prices are higher than anywhere else look at the price of a gallon of gasoline in California premium gasoline diesel gasoline over eight dollars a gallon that is Newsom and the Democrats yeah you know I've been making the case Steve Moore maybe maybe you agree that the main reason the price of gas is high is because of Democrats that's the main reason the price of gas is high anyway tell me how do we reduce the price of gas immediately because you have an idea yeah and have been some of the Republican governors around the country are picking this up why not temporarily suspend the federal gas tax and state gas taxes which can add as much as 75 cents a gallon to to a price tag that you pay at the pump until we get the price back down to below $4 gallon there's also all of these left wing requirements that you put in all these renewable energy stuff like putting corn in your tank with ethanol why not suspend that we estimate if the president would do that tomorrow he'd get a lot of resistance from Democrats we could lower the price of gasoline by 50 cents a gallon and that would provide motorists with a lot of relief why not do that and then when we get the gas price back down then we can reinstate these policies probably get a lot of resistance from farmers - well you know maybe a couple the other Iowa maybe some of the Iowa senators might not like that but it would be temporary and it would basically show Trump is doing all he can now I want to make a related point to this what is the first thing Democrats want to do if they take power they want to repeal the big beautiful bill they call it the big ugly bill they voted against not only did the average family saved $2,500 a year on their taxes but how about the fact that 20 million 20 million small businesses which produced the most jobs in America would face a huge tax increase same with mortgage interest deductions and property tax deductions all were increased for average Americans under the president United States not a single Democrat voted for that to me there's so much good that's been done in the left less than two years by this president and the Republicans in Congress without a single Democrat vote most of the time it's really incredible to me now you also we have discussed off air this change in total wealth by group since 2019 and yeah and what Donald Trump has done about that tell me about that well you know if you count Trump's first term in office and a second term in office the average increase in in 401k plans and retirement plans because remember the stock market's been doing very well has increased by about $50,000 you know what happened under Biden's four years when you come for inflation it lost $24,000 I mean Biden depleted the value of people's retirement funds and incidentally if I may Democrats have a plan they keep talking about how much they love seniors they have a plan in their DSA you know Democrat Socialist of America to to put in place something called Medicare for all so that would bankrupt Medicare seniors should be very afraid of this it will basically run the system will completely run out of money if you do 200 300 million people under Medicare where is the gun money going to come from Medicare will collapse mark if they do this and seniors will lose their health care coverage and seniors who've paid into it for decades yeah American citizens the legal aliens who come across the border don't get Medicare for all people who who've never contributed to Medicare they'll get Medicare for all so in other words they're going to turn it into a massive welfare program that's right and you're right it'll collapse because it's already supposed to collapse and so they'll push this over the cliff even faster seniors should be as you point out very very worried about this plan that the Democrats have Steve Moore final words it's a strong economy Trump is pushing all the right buttons I think in his next two years we're gonna see one of the biggest booms he ever saw hundreds of billions of dollars money coming into the US economy to create jobs every country in the world you may not hear this from the press every country in the world would love to have the American economy that we have under Donald Trump and I believe he's launched the fourth Industrial Revolution I agree I data centers yeah and all these other spectacular things going on the only thing that can kill this is if the Democrats take the house and or the Senate it will kill it Steve Moore great work as always thank you my friend

After a devastating four years under Biden and Harris and a horrific pandemic, President Trump just did what many believe was impossible. Look at this new numbers, U.S. Census Bureau, America's poverty rate is now at an all-time historic low. Get this, minorities in America, they saw the biggest drop in poverty, including Native Americans, African Americans, Hispanic Americans. Look at this, household income for African Americans saw the single largest gain relative to any other group, but income, every major group went up in America. In fact, another record, U.S. household income, look at this, adjusted for inflation, is now higher than at any point since 1967, and America is not slowing down. Look at this, the Atlanta Fed, often very accurate, now projecting a whopping 5.1% GDP growth in the third quarter. Wow, that would be double the average growth under four years of Biden and Harris. The recession, affordability, lie crisis that Democrats have been peddling and predicting from the moment Donald Trump was sworn in. Nope, never happened, thank God. Instead, America is back, America is booming, the stock market is breaking records, 401(k)s for Americans, their retirement money have recovered from the losses. Look at the losses in the middle, that would be Joe Biden. And just this week, unemployment claims, they always say unexpectedly, not unexpected. This is what happens when you invest in all these, let's see, semiconductor plants and pharmaceutical plants and are starting to build automobiles again in America. So when you do hear doom and gloom from far left radicalized Democrats, and of course, they're press agents known as the legacy media mob, especially as this midterm approaches, just know straight up, they are lying to you. Now, that's not to say everything's perfect, it is not, but the Democrats want to shred your constitution, our constitution, open our borders, and take a wrecking ball to our way of life in search of their socialist new Green Deal utopia. This must be stopped by every right minded American at the ballot box in November. That is happening in 47 days. In the end, we will get the government we deserve. Here now with more on these historic economic wins, unleashed prosperity founder, our friend, also the best seller, Trumponomics, Steve Moore is with us. Okay, why don't you go through the news step by step so people can explain. Lana Fed, pretty accurate prediction. I would say this is a miracle based on what we read in here every day from the media. Sean, these are phenomenal numbers, blockbuster numbers, almost all the numbers you just recited come from the gold standard of our statistics. The Census Bureau. I've been covering this stuff for 30 years. Every time these numbers come out, it's almost always, you know, New York Times, Washington Post, CNN cover this, you know what, they didn't cover it this year, even though the numbers, maybe it's because the numbers were so phenomenal, but you know, you just covered some of the highest income gains ever, ever last year. Now these are through 2025, but the median income in the United States has risen to $87,600. In most countries, that would be rich. You were, by the way, the lowest income Americans had the biggest percentage gains, which conflicts with what liberals have been saying about Trump. How about the fact, as you just said, poverty, you know, we've been trying to fight poverty in this country for 50 years. Donald Trump has brought the poverty rate down to the lowest level in history. Thank you, Donald Trump. And by the way, for children, for blacks, for Hispanics, for Asians, how about this one? You didn't mention this one, Sean. The gap between men and women earnings, which is something that liberals have been talking about a long time, that gap shrunk to the lowest level ever in the United States. Thank you, Donald Trump. I mean, it can go on with these statistics. The fact that we have a manufacturing boom going on, we have a construction boom going on. We have a blue collar boom going on. We have practically more jobs available today than workers available to fill them. Just, it's an amazing thing. And why is it, Sean, that this incredible report, it should have been headlines in every newspaper. And you're the first major person in the media to cover this amazing story. Well, it really is sad because that's their job. And unfortunately, they like to put, let's say, waste on the scales of election because they all have an agenda. Stephen Moore, thank you for sharing good news. I like to start the show, good news. I wish I could do it every night.

A collage/screenshot compilation of multiple news headlines from various outlets, each in a different font/style typical of the source publication, arranged in a two-column grid on a white background. The headlines are all favorable toward Trump administration policies, covering topics like immigration enforcement, the economy, tax refunds, crime statistics, and foreign affairs (Iran/Strait of Hormuz). This appears to be a compiled image (likely shared as a single social media post) collecting several separate news headlines to present a composite "good news" narrative about the administration.

"'If everything could be straightened out with Iran, they get a true agreement, Strait of Hormuz open, gas prices go down, Democrats have nothing to run on,' Concha said on Fox Business's The Evening Edit on Friday." "Concha praised economic wins under the Trump Administration, like job market growth and low unemployment rates, which were detailed in the May jobs report released Friday." "Trump spoke at the American Agriculture Roundtable in Wisconsin on Friday, where he said the job numbers 'smashed all expectations' and they are 'the strongest job numbers of the entire admin so far, and that's during this conflict on top of it.'"

Mortgage rates have now fallen to their lowest level in more than three years, and industry experts hope that it will help break the stalemate that has kept reluctant sellers from selling and would-be buyers from buying. CNN's Vanessa Urquevich is with us now on this. All right, Vanessa, how low are we talking? Yeah, we're talking about the lowest level in more than three years. So the average rate for a mortgage, according to Freddie Mac this week, 6.06%. That is down significantly from a year ago, when mortgage rates were above 7%. And if you look at this line chart on your screen right now, you can see, hopefully, that we're exactly where we were three years ago. The left-hand side of your screen in January of 2023, and the right-hand side of your screen in January of 2026. That's encouraging news for homebuyers, prospective homebuyers, who may have been waiting for mortgage rates to fall back closer to that 6% level. Why this is happening, well, it could be pointing to the fact that President Trump did direct the purchase of $200 billion of mortgage bonds, and that was designed to lower rates. So some experts saying that is why we're seeing these lower rates today, real estate agents and experts, as you say, are hoping that this starts to actually move the market, sellers willing to sell and buyers willing to get into the market. But what is this going to mean for everyday Americans who may be thinking about buying a home? Well, if you're buying a home, let's say $450,000, you're going to do a 30-year fixed mortgage. You're going to put 20% down. Well, a year ago, you were going to pay a monthly payment of about $2,400. Now this year, January 2026, you're looking closer to $2,100, $2,200. That's a savings of $230 a month, and that is significant if you're looking to spend money on other things like groceries or a car payment. And certainly for folks who have been wondering if this is doing anything for the market at all, well, in the month of December, existing home sales actually rose by 5.1% compared to November. So you can see people starting to get off the sidelines. But Brianna, look at this, median existing home sales still rising $405,400 is the average home price in the month of December. That means that it's now 30 consecutive months of year-over-year price increases. So mortgage rates falling, but those housing prices still starting to creep up a little bit. Of course, Brianna, maybe that's the offset. Mortgage rates are falling so people are more willing to get into the housing market and spend a little bit more.
