War's Back On — Oil Prices Rising, Inflation Following. Trump Blames Vague "Other Things" for Wanting Rate Cuts. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll
from The Tom Sullivan Show · host Tom Sullivan
The on-off-on-off war with Iran is on again, and right on schedule, oil prices are climbing and inflation is set to follow. Trump wants the Fed to cut rates, insisting "other things" besides his own policies are driving prices up — he never says what those things are, and we call that out directly. Meanwhile, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has resigned after 18 months, following months of clashes with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has now fired or forced out more than a dozen senior military leaders across every branch since taking office. When an organization keeps losing its best people one after another, the problem usually traces back to whoever's in charge. All of it today.
