Part 2/6:
Trump, while talking about the oil industry, seems to lean on ideas that were more relevant in past decades. Muckerman remarked on Trump's criticisms of OPEC, noting the statement: "If OPEC did what they do in the world in this country, they'd be in jail." O'Reilly concurred with Muckerman's perspective, arguing that the power of OPEC today is significantly less than it was during the 1970s and 1980s. The traditional leverage that OPEC held over oil prices is diminishing, and recent meetings among OPEC nations have yielded little result due to their internal disagreements.
