Secretary of the Interior Doug Bergam has laid out an ambitious agenda for his department,

which manages one-fifth of the land and waters of the United States, among his priorities

making America energy independent and making America beautiful again.

In this episode, we sit down with Secretary Bergam to hammer out his plan to use

energy dominance to defeat China and help President Trump in wars.

I'm Daily Wire editor-in-chief John Bickley with Georgia Howe.

It's Sunday, March 2nd, and this is a weekend edition of Morning Wire.

Joining us now as Secretary of the Interior, Doug Bergam, the former governor of North Dakota.

First of all, thank you so much for joining us.

Well, great to be with you, John.

Thank you for having me on your show.

The first meeting of cabinet secretaries was this week.

We wanted to ask you about that first.

You were there, obviously. What stood to ask you about that first. You were there, obviously.

What stood out to you about that meeting? Well, I think two things. One is, you know, having been a CEO for

most of my life and then a governor for eight years, is leadership. I mean, President Trump is

exhibiting all the great qualities of leadership, starting with, you know, are you giving your team

clear direction? And the executive orders that he's put out provide very specific actions for the

cabinet leaders to go execute on the promises that he made to the American people. So that's

clear direction. So that's great. Then the second thing is you got to hire a great team. And I look around that room and a number of those folks are friends of mine, people that I've known, people that have had great success in the private sector, people that are making big sacrifices to come and do public service working for the government to try to solve these problems that people think are intractable,

like our $2 trillion deficit.

He's empowering everybody.
