Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello, everyone.
I'm Shannon Bream, along with Joey Jones, Jessica Tarlov, Jesse Waters, they're already fighting, and Greg Gutfeld.
It is the 5, and it's 5 o'clock in New York City.
Okay. Okay.
You are looking live. President Trump is in Corpus Christi, Texas. He's trying to get out his affordability message out to voters out there. And you got to go big when you're in Texas. So 47 is standing next to a giant recently seized Venezuelan oil tanker stacked to the brim with the fruits of his daring mission to capture Nicolas Maduro. A million barrels of oil, we're told.
Now, he's got a plan. He says we'll keep energy costs down. Key part of the president's affordability pitch. Here is the president. Just moments ago.
Is everybody having a good time? Do you know how big this is? Millions and millions of barrels of oil are pouring right in here.
It's a great thing. No, the relationship with Venezuela has been amazing.
Come here. Do you want to see something nice? Come here.

Chapter 2: What is the significance of President Trump's affordability message in Texas?
Look at that. Right out of Venezuela. Goodbye, everybody. And speaking of the economy, a CNBC anchor shocking the ladies of The View when she told them that President Trump, she says, is pretty good for the markets.
I do want to ask you about the market because it seems that the market doesn't really pay attention to who is president. The market does what it does.
Actually, the market likes who's president, I think.
Really?
Oh, interesting. There's a lot of upbeat sentiment from companies and from investors about policies that are helpful for growth. You know, deregulation.
Meanwhile, House Democrats are at a retreat in Virginia. They are still trying to hammer out what the party's main message will be this November beyond the usual anti-presidential rhetoric like this.
We've had Democratic presidents, Republican presidents. They've all been patriots until now. We have to win this race.
Good news is temporary. That's just three years. And the presidency, as we know it, will de facto end this November when we get the gavel back and Speaker Jeffries becomes the next speaker.
We're seeing dramatic increases in expenditures on detention centers. We're building a not small army now that's going to be policing American streets.

Chapter 3: How is the relationship with Venezuela affecting U.S. energy prices?
He's there on the ground in Texas, but man, the visual of the tanker says something. Yeah, I like tankers. Take a step back. Donald Trump gave the best to the union of his life. He's already come out with an ad showing Democrats not standing up for Americans, and he's already hit the trail talking about low gas prices. What are the Democrats doing?
They're at a retreat trying to figure out what to tell voters what they believe in. They're all caught up in the Epstein stuff. And what is this, day five of them attacking men for laughing at a joke? I'm not saying, Jessica, there would be a red wave. I would never say anything like that. But you guys look ridiculous. really, really bad.
Twenty six million Americans saw Donald Trump tag Pelosi as an insider traitor. Twenty six million Americans saw two hysterical Muslim ladies screaming at the top of their lungs at the president of the United States. And then afterwards and all the wrap up shows, it was a bunch of CNN hosts saying, Democrats, why didn't you guys stand up for like widows and war heroes and angel moms?
And if you look at your phone today, what are the headlines? If you're just a casual glancer, oh, sex trafficking and the Clintons. Mortgage rates finally in the fives. That's a big psychological number. The top two Democrat candidates right now for the presidency are both on book tours boring us. And the only guy who's doing anything good on your side is Mondani. He's actually working stuff.
He's working magic. He's at the White House with Trump. He's getting Trump to rebuild an entire neighborhood here in New York City where they're going to lower rent and create a lot of jobs. So I'd say it's a very good week for President Trump and a very good week for Democrats working with President Trump.
Well, and for those Democrats who are at this retreat, what you do, you're figuring out messaging and doing that kind of thing. The House Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, says he's predicting an extinction level event in the midterms for Republicans, Joey. I don't know. I guess they could they could go extinct themselves.
They could sit around and not brag on what they've accomplished, what President Trump's accomplished. I don't think house Republicans have really made the case on why they should be reelected. Not saying they were doing a bad job, but they're not a great messenger. I hate the fact that it all goes on president Trump's back. He's out raising the money. He's out doing the endorsements.
He's also trying to keep us out of wars, trying to keep the country going. There should be more prolific figures within the house and the Senate selling the good things that they've done, whether it be the big, beautiful bill, or, uh, you know, maybe, I don't know, get the SAVE Act passed and go sell that. I think Americans will be happy about that. Um,
It really is a race to the bottom sometimes. I mean, when when the Democrats show up to say the union and like Jesse just said, you can't stand up and cheer for someone who saved lives. You yell and scream at the president. Absolutely. When Marjorie Taylor Greene did it, it was off putting.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the recent market trends under President Trump?
I didn't like it. I didn't like it at all. But in this moment, he's presenting two medals of honor. He's talking about families whose most prized possession, the most vulnerable part of their family was killed by someone that was here illegally. You don't have to like it. I mean, I hate to say it, but Fetterman says it best. He's like, listen, we don't have to be stupid about it.
We can actually do what the American people want us to on policy that he believes and still be normal people. I just don't think there are enough of them left. Yeah, the bipartisanship is pretty rare in Washington, I would say. Back to this issue, though, of the markets and how they're doing. I did ask the artificial intelligence of the world to go back and crunch all the numbers.
They said since President Trump has taken office, the S&P 500 is up 14.5 percent, the Dow up 10.8 percent, NASDAQ up 15.1 percent. So people aren't feeling it. But the White House is telling people and they're out there messaging the president saying you're going to feel it. There are good things happening.
Chapter 5: How are House Democrats strategizing for the upcoming elections?
The markets reflect that. And gas prices are coming down, et cetera, et cetera. Yeah, the 2024 election was about a feeling that Donald Trump was going to change course. And the first year of the Trump presidency has not accomplished that, which is why his numbers are in the toilet in every single category.
Our market has done well, but compared to other industrialized countries, we actually haven't done as well as they have. I think we're number 21 of 23 countries that saw that chart. flying around online. And Donald Trump is in Texas today because the GOP is in trouble. He should not have to be going to safe districts and safe states.
But it's not because of this John Cornyn and Ken Paxton fight, which is ugly. And Wesley Hunt as well. You should check out John Cornyn's ad about Ken Paxton, about his corruption and all his affairs as a man getting divorced on biblical grounds, which feels very Texas values to me. And no one who's spoken before me has mentioned anything about the reality of on the ground for Texans.
So the median income in Texas is just below $74,000 a year. It's $81,000 for the nation. They paid $1,200 last year for Trump's tariffs per family. U.S. farms are going bankrupt across the country, $15,000 in the last year. The biggest decline was in Texas. SNAP benefits are going to go away for $1.5 million. If you don't accept... Why is everybody moving to Texas?
They're not.
And the people who did go are going back from once they came. Without the ACA subsidies extension, 3.7 million Texans will see their premiums double. It's all very funny. And on the energy front. Energy prices in Texas have not increased the level in other states because of renewables, because of clean energy projects.
And Donald Trump has cut, I think, 223 of them in the latest slashing from October, $7.5 billion out of there. So he's going to go in and he's going to say, drill, baby, drill. And he's going to hold up the Venezuelan oil, which, by the way, he might just be profiting straight into his own bank account from.
When renewable energy is the energy of the future, it doesn't mean you can't have a nuclear plant. It doesn't mean you shouldn't be drilling. But we know that clean energy is keeping prices down where it is. And on a national scale, obviously, electricity costs are up. Well, Greg, this is just one part of what the president's saying, because, listen, wage growth is outpacing inflation.
It takes time to come back from nine points of inflation and a couple of years of a really tough time. You don't turn that around on a dime. And he says, listen, look at the data we have and it's moving in the right direction. Texas is doing so badly that Apple is building their Google is building their Abbott is investing billions together. It's like a trillion dollars in investments.

Chapter 6: What challenges do House Republicans face in the current political landscape?
Probably. Did he take part in an international pedophile ring? I'm not going to go there. The problem with the Epstein scandal, it's like a box of tangled up wires. Some of the wires are real. Some aren't. But they're tangled up and it may take forever to untangle them. But it's fun. It could go on forever, untangling them. And there are people that get sustenance from this.
But you just have to remember that if all those things that I mentioned you agreed with me on, you have to supply intellectual rigor to the evidence because it seems like the media isn't. You're not wrong. Thank you, Joey. I agree.
Shannon, on that topic, are House Republicans kind of taking the bait a little bit, bringing in the Clintons as opposed to interviewing the interviewers and maybe investigating the investigation? Yeah, I mean, they did a good job in getting documents from the Epstein estate that we hadn't seen before. So it seems like oversight has kind of their own lane that they're trying to go down.
They know the Clintons is going to get a lot of headlines. And it's a rare, interesting bipartisan thing to me that you don't see very much in Washington. Remember, there's a sweeping letter from the Clintons a few weeks ago like. We're drawing the line in the sand. America stands for one thing, and that's freedom.
And we will go no further until Democrats on the panel also voted to hold them in contempt, along with Republicans. Like, OK, we're going to show up today. So there is some progress here. Whether Hillary was any kind of productive witness for them, I doubt.
But, you know, I think all of us who remember I'm that old when President Clinton stood there and said I did not have sexual relations with that woman. We take a lot of what he says with a grain of salt. And I think, you know, Greg's right. You've got to look for evidence.
And if you say these are super old pictures, they predate this and that, there's nothing to it, then do you apply the same standard to President Trump? I mean, I think you just have to be consistent. Jesse, if we're talking about consistency, he did stand in front of a camera or sit in front of a camera and say, I did not have sexual relations with that woman. That turned out to be pretty false.
Today, CNN's reporting, today he said he did not have sex with a woman in the jacuzzi and he doesn't know who she is. Okay. Listen, there's no evidence that Bill Clinton committed any crimes. But he's got vulnerabilities. One of them is reputational. Virginia Goufray said she saw him on the island. She said she saw him on the island with two young girls.
Now, I don't know if these are minors or they're 18 what. That's just what she said. He denies it. I don't know what happened. She's a discredited person. I know she's dead, but she's discredited. And I'm not crazy about Bill Clinton. I'm just saying. Right. Right. It's a he said, she said. And also, he's been at the White House 17 times and he's been on the plane 17 times. He's getting massages.

Chapter 7: What are the latest updates on Bill Clinton's involvement with Jeffrey Epstein?
Where are we going next? What do you think, Jessica? Kazakhstan? India? Bulgaria? Wrong. Japan. 30 men in loincloths celebrating 200 years of tradition with a historic mud wrestling match. It's called Warabi Naked Festival. Something about a bountiful season. Who cares? We just want to see their butt cheeks.
A lot of dad bods. Did I just say that? Yeah.
Tonight, Jesse Waters primetime. Bill Clinton, not a guest, goes under oath tonight at 8. Jessica. Okay, this is really scary and very gross. Drivers crossing the Sahara Desert were met with a shocking sight as massive swarms of locusts slammed into their vehicles. Jesus is coming. That's the end of times. Yep. Oh, okay. That's what that is. All right. Sorry, guys. End of times. That's it.
That's all you got. I mean, I have other things, but that's way more interesting. Well, if you want to learn more about the Bible and end times, I've got a new book out.
Yeah. It's called Nothing Is Impossible.
I set you up, Shannon. Thank you. Nothing Is Impossible With God. And I am hoping it might be the first pick of the Harold Jesse Gregg Bible Study Group.
Oh, yes.
Fingers crossed. Also, this weekend, we have got Senator Kane McCormick, General Kellogg with us on Fox News Sunday, and also Michael Whatley. We'll see you then. Joey. All right, real quick. So this lunchbox was found. People in Georgia are upset about it because it's got a martini in it. I just want to say I apologize. It was that or a chili. That's all we had in the fridge.
I didn't know what was it. I don't drink, so I didn't know. Wait, so we got a sandwich, Doritos. This is like an elementary school kid's lunchbox. Maybe a biscuit in there. Mom. Dad. Is that dad or mom?
