Ep. 1842 - Gas Prices Are Out Of Control. Here's What No One Is Telling You.
Summary
Matt Walsh argues that the US faces a historic energy crisis driven by Ukraine’s bombing of Russian refineries and the Iran war, not just conventional supply shocks. He cites JPMorgan’s warning of an "operational stress floor" that could cause global fuel shortages and economic collapse. Walsh criticizes Zelensky for contradicting Trump’s ceasefire claims and blames Democrats for prioritizing green ideology over energy security. He urges the GOP to stop the Iran war, secure Venezuelan oil, and prevent a midterm defeat that would worsen the crisis.
