  • Every time a Trump Administration official comes on they tell five lies a minute and dumbass Brian Sullivan just agrees with every word they say not pushing back at all. If I wanted to hear a bunch of Republican talking points I'd listen to Fox News. CNBC has lost all integrity.

Guidelines for AI, Middle East Oil Flows, State of the Retail Trade 10/5/26
Q: Where are we now, Matt? First off, when it comes to the data, the transponders off, the ship-to-ship transfers, the loadings in the Gulf of Oman, it feels like we now understand how the oil is flowing. Because the one thing I know about oil producers, they're really good at making oil flow somehow. Are they not?
Matt Smith describes Saudi exports reaching multi-year highs, increasing Iraqi flows, and Iran's exports falling to near zero, with regional oil volumes collectively approaching pre-war levels.
Guidelines for AI, Middle East Oil Flows, State of the Retail Trade 10/5/26
