President Trump used Tuesday’s State of the Union to pound home a simple, pro-worker message: the economy is the centerpiece of his agenda and Americans are the priority, not coastal elites or globalists. Fox’s Peter Doocy drove that point home on The Story, walking viewers through the administration’s new policy proposals with the straightforward reporting Americans expect from him.
The president laid out concrete ideas — from a beefed-up TrumpRX to safeguard lower drug prices, to proposals that would ban large institutional investors from gobbling up single-family homes, to matching retirement contributions for workers who lack employer plans. He even doubled down on using targeted trade tools to rebuild American manufacturing and protect jobs that have been hollowed out for decades.
Conservatives should applaud an administration that finally fights for working families instead of kowtowing to Wall Street cronies and overseas competitors. For too long the system served insiders who cash out while Main Street struggles; putting homeownership and savings back in reach is classic conservative populism that puts power back into citizens’ hands.
Predictably, the usual chorus wailed that tariffs will wreck everything, and some on the bench even questioned the legality of emergency trade moves last year — a reminder that Washington’s legal class often prefers theory to the real pain of shuttered factories and lost paychecks. The answer isn’t to cave: it’s to defend American workers and press Congress for clear authority to level the playing field.
The president also pointed to tangible signs of relief at the pump and progress on inflation in recent months while pitching a package he says will make life more affordable for everyday families. Whether you trust every number he cites is less important than recognizing the broader aim: stop the erosion of American prosperity and rebuild a middle class that has been hollowed out by bad trade deals and runaway spending.
Peter Doocy’s coverage on The Story reminded viewers why conservatives must stay engaged and vocal — not timid — as Washington tries to reassert tired orthodoxies. This is the moment for patriots to back policies that protect jobs, revive communities, and keep America first, and to demand our leaders keep fighting until every American who wants to work can thrive.
