Oil Markets Hang On Trump’s Every Word About Iran

A president’s words alone can have a big impact. Like when President Trump told a reporter that the war in Iran is nearly over, oil prices dropped. That was a good sign for consumers, but was that responsible leadership from the president? We’re asking the same question of Congress where one senator said let’s not debate the war because a publicly divided legislative branch isn’t good for our troops abroad. Also, there will be a change in leadership at the Department of Homeland Security, with Kristi Noem out and Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin picked to take her place. We’ll talk about the next secretary’s immense challenges ahead, including funding for the agency on hold and concerns about our preparedness for possible terrorist attacks. Plus, we’ll take your questions as we talk with our panelists Mo Elleithee on the left and Will Swaim on the right. Producer: Leo Duran Host: David Greene Guests: Mo Elleithee , executive director at Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service - @MoElleithee Will Swaim , CEO of the California Policy Center - @WillSwaim
