Time to focus on some good news today — the jobs report is in, and it exceeded expectations, even with the slashing of government jobs. And this comes after the stock market hit all-time highs over the past few days.

In other words: the numbers are talking, and they’re not whispering.

Speaker Mike Johnson says this is exactly what Americans were promised — and what they’re finally getting.

And when you compare the economy now to what it was four years ago, it’s honestly one of the most staggering realizations.

Inflation was 9.1% in 2022. Fast-forward to 2025 and core inflation hovered near 2.6% — one of the lowest core readings in several years. Overall inflation in 2025 was also the lowest it’s been in five years.

Trump says he remembers inheriting a total mess from Biden — and he’s more than happy to prove the naysayers wrong by turning it around.

Because if you recall, the chorus last year was loud and dramatic: Trump was supposedly steering the country straight into a recession. We were all supposed to be “freaked out.” The same people who couldn’t spot a problem while Biden was driving the economy straight into the ditch suddenly became clairvoyant the moment Trump showed up again.

So Trump played the tape — literally — and reminded everyone what the “experts” were saying.

And that’s why I warned you not to listen to them.

They had no warning signs to flash when Biden was in charge. So you should never trust them when they speak out against Trump.

Now, is everything perfect? No. There’s still room for improvement — which is why Trump and Mike Johnson have committed to keep pushing this momentum forward.

One possible game-changer: the Federal Reserve.

Trump has tapped Kevin Warsh as his pick for Fed chair, and if rates come down, GDP could take off. Lower interest rates almost always mean more economic activity — and no, more economic activity isn’t always a good thing. But it is when it’s paired with job growth and productivity.

And right now, that’s exactly what we’re seeing.

In January alone, 130,000 jobs were added — higher than anyone was expecting. In fact, it’s double what the “experts” predicted.

National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett weighed in on the latest reports, and he sees something familiar in these numbers.

This is what happened in the 1990s: rates were lowered while job growth and productivity were rising, and America profited big.

Unemployment was at a historic low. GDP was at a historic high. And America actually produced a budget surplus during that time.

What a concept.

Back then, much of the growth was driven by the dawn of the internet — a technological revolution will do that. And now we’re on the cusp of something similar again with AI.

Productivity is remarkably up, thanks to Trump’s tax cuts and deregulation — but also because of technological change. And that change is, once again, tied to policy choices that encourage growth instead of smothering it.

AI is the future. You and I may not like all of it — and that’s okay — but as a nation we have to be smart about it.

Trump sees that. He’s formalized a national AI policy focus since stepping back into the White House, including reducing barriers to development and encouraging the expansion of infrastructure here in the U.S.

This administration claims it has attracted trillions of dollars in tech and AI investment in the U.S. over the last year — and based on the direction of the numbers, it’s working.

We could repeat the success of the 1990s — without the dot-com crash.

A lot has changed since then. Back in the 90s, markets were pricing in a tech revolution before profits even existed. Today, markets are pricing in an AI revolution — but they’re doing it based on companies already generating massive cash flow.

Pair that with lower interest rates, and we could see another economic boom.

And Rick Santelli over at CNBC is pretty psyched about it — and I love this guy. Watch.

All good things. All good things.

We’ve got 130,000 jobs added. Wage growth is up 3.7%. Inflation is only 2.7%.

That’s real earnings for real Americans.

And here’s where the story gets even better.

A chart that deserves a lot of attention shows real weekly earnings for Americans — and it tells the story in one glance: under Biden, the average weekly paycheck (adjusted for inflation) shrunk 4.0%. That’s the orange line. But now? It’s estimated to have surged 2.0% during Trump’s first year back.

Stephen Moore boils it down to the only thing that really matters for most families: cash in your pocket.

A beautiful picture, indeed.

And here’s another one.

Federal employment is now at its lowest level since 1966 — and as Hassett pointed out, it’s the lowest level in recorded history as a share of the total workforce.

Even better: one graph puts it all in perspective. The green represents private sector jobs. The blue represents government jobs. On the left is the end of Biden’s presidency. On the right is the start of Trump’s.

Biden was leaving behind an economy that was losing private sector jobs while adding government payrolls.

Trump flipped the script.

One year later, it’s private sector growth while cutting government jobs.

Remarkable stuff.

And Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer says she’s not as surprised as the experts are — because she’s seen firsthand how dedicated this administration is to making this work.

But there’s another angle to the economy that deserves attention.

It’s not just what Trump is building. It’s also what he’s stopping.

One of those things: foreign adversaries buying up American farmland.

I’ve warned about this before on the program, and the Trump administration is taking it seriously. For all the investment this nation has attracted over the last year, we do not need that investment to come in the form of scooping up our land.

Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins understands that — and she delivered another win this week.

That alone is worth celebrating.

But it’s not the only area where this administration has protected the country.

Obviously, the border has been a key focus over the last year — with major success — but not just for national security. It also impacts the American dream of owning a home.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent pointed that out to Maxine Waters during a finance committee hearing the other day.

Bessent usually comes across as a measured, controlled man — but good for him for saying what needed to be said.

Because yes, they should be ashamed.

Even though we know they’ll never take responsibility for the disaster they brought on this country.

But today, you can go ahead and break out into your happy dance — because slowly but surely, this administration is delivering wins for every American.

Even the ones who want to see him lose.
