American Power

America's Allies Are Making Backup Plans

July 8, 2026·1h 30m
Episode Description from the Publisher

This week on American Power, host Nat Towsen is joined by military strategist Chad Scott and energy expert Matt Randolph to explain why gas prices remain stubbornly high even as oil prices fall, what Ukraine's attacks on Russian refineries could mean for global diesel supplies, and why energy markets are behaving unlike anything experts have seen before. Then the conversation turns to geopolitics. Chad breaks down why NATO allies are accelerating military spending, how Europe's security strategy is evolving, and why America's unpredictability is forcing allies to rethink decades of defense planning. Finally, the team examines growing public tensions between the Trump administration and Israel, the future of negotiations with Iran, and what those fractures could mean for stability in the Middle East. We’re always looking for new opportunities to partner with creators, companies, politicians, and organizations that share our mission.
