Derrick Morgan on Trump-Backed Primary Wins, Energy Markets, and Oil Price Outlook Amid Iran Tensions

Derrick Morgan of the Heritage Foundation joins the show to break down the political impact of recent Indiana primaries, where Trump-backed candidates defeated GOP incumbents who opposed redistricting efforts. Morgan argues the results reflect a broader demand from voters for a more aggressive, policy-driven Republican movement heading into the midterms. The conversation shifts to global energy markets, including the UAE’s exit from OPEC and what that could mean for oil supply and consumer prices. Morgan suggests weakening cartel influence and expanded production capacity could benefit consumers over time, especially as geopolitical pressure around Iran reshapes global supply dynamics. The discussion closes on gas prices and market expectations, with both Morgan and the host acknowledging short-term pain at the pump but pointing to futures markets and increased U.S. production as signals of lower prices ahead once instability eases.
