Welcome to your Wednesday, May 6th, 2026 morning update. They like to say Mr. Trump is crude. So crude. They also like to say that he’s crazy, that he doesn’t know what he’s doing, that he doesn’t have a plan. But this is from people who have no clue. Just about everything he’s done in the last 15 months looks a lot like a plan.
What is the plan? Well, he wants to make America great again. He wants to bring manufacturing back to America. He wants to make it cost effective to do that. And he wants to make energy affordable. Now, people who are getting uppity about the price of gasoline, because the a thing in Iran, they don’t give a damn about the price of energy. They’re very happy when it’s higher. In fact, their plan is to make it scarce, to make it intermittent.
To make it a luxury. So what Mr. Trump is doing is completely alien to them. Add their TDS on top of it and they just have no clue. They’ve lost their minds. But Donald Trump clearly has a plan and his plan is to make America great again and to do that you need energy. and he hasn’t just made America the largest producer and
almost to the second largest exporter in just 15 months. He has a plan to make sure that America can control the price of oil to keep it cheap so that the whole world can benefit from it. This is a better plan.
than anything the left has imagined. They wanted to bring green energy to the rest of the world, but to the rest of the world, that’s a crazy idea. I mean, if westerners want to do it, great, go ahead, screw yourselves. But they’re just rising out of poverty, most of them, thanks to hydrocarbons, natural gas, oil, Affordable, abundant energy.
As Konstantin Kisin likes to remind us, they’re not going to give that up. They’re not going to go back to being impoverished. If you want to feel guilty and blame white people and live in squalor, you go ahead and do it. They’re not coming with us. So there’s the thing, isn’t it? They’re going to be emitting even more carbon, even more emissions than America ever would. And they already are. So the left’s plan…
is ridiculous. It’s a plan of oppression. It’s a plan of control. Mr. Trump has done everything he’s done in the last 15 months to not just push back, to break that cartel. OPEC is losing members. America is going to become the number one exporter of oil and gas, probably within the next two years.
We are amping up production. And the benefits have already been on shored Check this out.
If America can break the OPEC slash London based Petrodollar, the world becomes a completely different place with us at the head of it. Now there is a danger there. There will always be interests in the swamp who want to use that to make obscene amounts of money. And yeah, as a matter of fact, while oil is high,
American producers are making quite a bit of money, but that’s not the goal. The goal is cheap, affordable, abundant energy. The goal is an America that leads in manufacturing, that can defend itself without fear of having its energy supplies or its supply chains cut off. We have enemies in the world. A lot of them live right here in America.
They’re called the Democrat Party. That’s it for today. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.
