Sometimes the conversation continues during the commercial break. This is one of those instances where what Ralph Yarl's mother said was powerful enough that we asked to share it too.

She said Ralph is “replaying the situation over and over again.”

I was trying to figure out which President was "President T" and cross-referencing in my head leaders of countries that produce substantial amounts of oil and then I realized he was parenthetically thanking himself.
So great that oil prices are falling (thank you President T). Add that, which is like a big Tax Cut, to our other good Economic news. Inflation down (are you listening Fed)!
