Episode Details

This week on American Power, host Nat Towsen is joined by military analyst Chad Scott and energy expert Matt Randolph to examine two stories with major implications for American power. First, they break down the growing concerns over U.S. munitions stockpiles, why Patriot and THAAD missile shortages matter, and how countries like Iran, China, and Russia may be adapting their strategies to exploit America's political and military vulnerabilities.

Then, the conversation turns to the global energy market, where Chad and Matt trace a series of dramatic oil price swings tied to announcements about the Iran conflict. They explore allegations of market manipulation, why geopolitical messaging can move billions of dollars in minutes, and what happens when war, energy, and financial markets become deeply intertwined.
