Host Jesse Kelly says oil shipping disruptions have drained reserves to a 4-week supply, warning of $150–$200 crude

Host Jesse Kelly said geopolitical conflict tied to Iran has constrained tanker traffic, forcing countries worldwide to draw down oil reserves. He said the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve has fallen to its lowest level since 1983, leaving roughly a four-week supply. Kelly argued that because oil underpins the global economy, sustained tight supply that pushes prices to $150–$200 a barrel could trigger a global recession and put millions of lives at risk.
