Episode Description from the Publisher

America’s security and prosperity start with two things: protecting the homeland and having the energy to power it. Secretary Markwayne Mullin joins Erick Stakelbeck to discuss the Trump administration’s approach to border security, deportations, sanctuary cities, drug cartels and the evolving threats facing the U.S. homeland. He also explains his view of how the Department of Homeland Security is responding as criminal and terrorist organizations adapt their tactics. Then, Secretary of Energy Chris Wright sits down with Erick to discuss American oil and gas production, Venezuela, the Strait of Hormuz and what those developments could mean for energy prices. Secretary Wright also weighs in on expanding domestic production, the future of coal and fusion energy, bringing blue-collar energy and manufacturing jobs back to America, and the massive energy demands created by A.I. and data centers. From securing the homeland to powering the American economy, Stakscast brings you conversations about decisions that could impact your safety, your job and your wallet.
