. Plus, we're completely independent in terms of agriculture and energy when asshats in Washington aren't intentionally hamstringing us.
No, we're not.
Good grief some of you people astound me.
Producing enough oil or enough food to supply the US's needs does not mean we're "independent."
If there is a large war prices for both of those things are going up. (Hell, there's only a small war going on right now and prices have gone up noticeably). The international going rate for a barrel of oil or a bushel of corn are going to skyrocket.
You are a US based oil refinery or farmer. You are going to sell your product to domestic buyers only when you could sell it for 1.5-2 times as much to an international buyer?
Of course not. You're going to sell it for the going rate, and so will everybody else, and Americans will end up paying the same inflated price for things as everybody else, including the countries involved in the war. You think the economy is bad under Biden? You've never seen an American economy like what it would be if a large world war was going on.
Please stop listening to Huckster Carlson. What happens around the world does affect America and American citizens, even if it doesn't happen inside the state lines of Texas or North Carolina or California.
Populists need to let actual grown-ups worry about our foreign policy.

You mean like college students who have never worked a day in their lives trying to recreate the culture of the Holocaust, demanding racially segregated dorms, and saying that a majority of Americans voting for someone they don't like is "destroying our Democracy," right?

Weaponized wokeness championed by the left. It has ruined entertainment (I miss old disney/Star Wars) and despite flop after flop they keep doubling down on their idiocy.

If there's a war that America isn't a party to and prices skyrocket, you can bet your arse that our government is going to sequester American oil and food. You're viewing things through artificial Bretton Woods lenses. Our economy is already one of the least internationally integrated in the world (outside of Canada and Mexico). If world war were to break out and our politicians somehow managed to keep us out of it, we'd be fine.

To the detriment of markets and interest rates. It’s folly to pretend we’re isolated from any major geopolitical happening in today’s world. Given that, we have a legitimate national interest in being involved in most things affecting the industrialized First and Second world.

You use the word "sequester," but that doesn't mean anything. What you mean is nationalize. There's no other way to force producers to only sell domestically and to set prices.
If you think oil producers are going to allow the US government to seize their property like that, I don't know what to tell you. It would be unconstitutional and if we'd be as "fine" as you think we would be, there would be no basis to declare martial law or anything approaching circumstances exigent enough to justify setting aside the constitution to allow the government to seize the property of American citizens in such a manner.
That's the sort of thing that fascist and communist governments have done historically. We wouldn't recover from that kind of lawlessness as a country. We'd be much better off participating in fighting the war somewhere else than we would be abandoning our protections against government tyranny and allowing our own government to rob us.

So that means we pay lower oil and food prices than other countries right now, I guess?

We may have an interest, but that doesn't mean that we have to sacrifice ourselves to those interests. We could simply hit the Monroe Doctrine with a shot of Test and Tren and tell the rest of the world to frick off if we so desired. We would suffer inconveniences, but there's nothing that the rest of the world has to offer that we couldn't live without in a pinch.

1) failure of the public education system to teach useful life skills like reasoning, nutrition, and personal finance
2) inflation
3) entitlement spending neither staying constant nor decreasing
4) The number of capable people I meet each week who want to be deemed disabled
5) obesity + sedentary lifestyle and general disdain for sweat
6) glorification of promiscuity and normalizing which parts of yourself you like to put inside of other people or which of their parts you like to stick in yourself as a cultural identity.

How are we sacrificing ourselves to those interests? I’d argue maintaining the world order only reinforces our hegemonic dominance of it.

I mean I guess we could, but we may not like what the world looks like once we stop that isolation. There’s also no telling who and what consolidates power in our absence.

yea, global economic meltdown and massive devaluation of our citizens’ wealth would be an “inconvenience”. That’s not even getting into the core nature of capitalism that requires constant expansion of markets and efficient allocation of capital wherever that may occur.
