Weekend Edition: The State of Oil and Gas Reserves, Campaign 2026, and Progressives in the Midterm Campaign

In this weekend's episode, three segments from this past week's Washington Journal. First: As gas prices continue to rise with the war with Iran, there's renewed scrutiny of America's oil and gas companies. We speak with Dustin Meyer from the American Petroleum Institute about the impact on consumers and the state of oil and gas reserves in the U-S. Then: Conservative columnist and podcaster Henry Olsen of the Ethics and Public Policy Center discusses Campaign 2026 and political news of the week. Finally: A conversation with Amanda Litman – co-founder of the group "Run For Something" whose goal is to help elect young progressives. We'll talk about that effort – and the role of progressives in the midterm campaign and beyond. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
