ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Donald Trump, diesel prices, Iran, Gaza, H-1B fraud, AI, and the future of America all collide in this no-filter weekly wrap-up from Clayton Wood. If you want a straight read on what is happening in politics, war, energy, and the economy right now - and why so many reactions are wildly off base - this episode is for you.
Clayton takes apart the latest outrage cycle around Trump and Russia, then lays out a different explanation for the diesel move, the market signal it may send, and why refinery capacity matters. He also connects Ukraine’s strikes on Russian refineries to economic pressure on Iran and considers whether the Middle East may be headed into a quieter stretch than the headlines suggest.
The conversation also covers the Gaza genocide debate, alleged H-1B visa fraud and its impact on American tech workers, the U.S.- China competition over AI, and what current events reveal about gratitude, resilience, and the rule of law.
A sharp, provocative weekly roundup for listeners following politics, global conflict, energy markets, and the future of American power.
