If people care about the environment, they should want the U.S.

to produce every electron, every drop of liquid fuels, and everything that you mine.

I mean, the cell phone that all of your listeners have has got 65 different critical minerals in a single cell phone.

We should be doing that here, not just for national security, but for job creation, because we do it cleaner, smarter, and safer.

All of that can happen.

Most of those resources or most of the land that we own is in the West.

That's where most of these rich resource minerals are.

And again, so from the West all the way up through Alaska, a big opportunity.

And think of it as America's untapped Southern wealth fund.

I mean, this is an asset that could be generating benefits for every American.

And I should just throw this in.

We generated more revenue in Interior in just the last eight months than they did in the entire four years of Biden because we got back in to the business of giving leases for timber, for grazing, and for oil and gas, and for mining.

So we're driving the revenue number up, but we're just getting started.

That's great news.

Absolutely, Vince.

It's so fun to hear you say that.

You get it.

You understand that.

So many people don't.

President Trump, I'll call it energy dominance.
