Domestic Policy Expert Daniel Turner: Oil Price Spike and Terrorist Attack in NY
Domestic Policy Expert Daniel Turner: Oil Price Spike and Terrorist Attack in NY

The New York Post features an editorial asking, “What the oil-price panic really tells you about our leaders,” stating:

“President Donald Trump is right: The short-term spike in oil prices is “a very small price” to pay for ending the Islamic Republic’s threat to the civilized world.

And prices should indeed “drop rapidly” within weeks.

More: The prez is willing to risk big losses in the midterm elections, and thus big trouble for his larger reform agenda, because he firmly believes he’s serving the national interest here.”

As the Iranian conflict intensifies, our national leaders continue to point out that our energy supply is strong. So why the negative reaction from the media and the volatility in the markets?

Energy and domestic policy expert Daniel Turner joins us to clarify the energy markets and the overreaction by the corporate media.

Daniel and the Morning Update host, Jeff Chidester, also discuss the recent Islamic-terrorist-inspired attack in New York City, and the response from the NYC Mayor and the NY Governor.
