In this episode of The Crude Truth, host Rey Treviño III sits down for an insightful interview with economic genius Dr. Ed Ireland and Sarah Falen Tate. Together, they break down the major shifts in America’s economy, energy policy, and agriculture. We are seeing the trade deals moving forward, and the stock market is reacting positively. President Trump has huge trade wins with Saudi Arabia and is off to other Middle Eastern countries for more trade talks. The stabilization in Syria is enormous, which will play a role in the global stabilization of trade.

There is a major misunderstanding of the tariffs' impact. Are they good, bad, or who are they impacting?

• What does the end of 50 years of NEPA regulations mean? Advising the President as a job description does not mean writing horrible regulations.
• How are tariffs impacting U.S. commodities and ranchers?
• Is deregulation helping or hurting the energy sector?
• Who really owns underground CO₂ storage rights?
• Why is now a turning point for oil, gas, and agriculture?

All of my guests' points are critical to the entire United States agriculture and oil markets. Not only is agriculture one of the biggest users of diesel and fertilizer made from natural gas, but it is also becoming more available in international trade deals. Things are changing in the world, and the United States' oil, gas, and agriculture markets are at the forefront of these critical changes.

Whether you're in oil & gas, farming, or just trying to understand what’s really going on with the economy this episode delivers real talk with real experts.

Don't miss the insights from two industry leaders helping shape the future of American energy.

A special thank you to Sarah and Ed for stopping by my podcast. I learned a lot and had an absolute blast- Rey.
