i am proud to have led the nrc seed to achieve this victory. even after democrats spent $550 million spreading lies about house republicans. we flipped seats from pennsylvania to michigan to colorado and beyond. the american people saw through the democrat lies. republicans had better candidates and a better message about what we would do to prove their daily lives. those honor to lead our successful effort told the house at the nrc see, i did not do it alone. house republicans bought into the plan. we have record member participation from across our congress. and our entire incredible leadership team work together to make it happen. i am especially grateful for our team leader speaker mike johnson whose dauntless energy and hard work are the reason that we are here. raising $27 million directly to the nrc see to travel into countless cities and over two dozen states to help our candidates. thank you, mr. speaker. you have earned the gavel, mr. speaker with your long days on the road, little sleep and relentless optimism. now what donald trump

that's a very accepting community on base but if you don't go through the nrc, those electrons are not allowed to leave the base. maybe there's a trade-off, putting reactors on base. there is one in alaska, the department of defense is doing great work in conjunction with the department of energy on deploying these technologies. >> -- they've been using coal and wood and air quality is a serious issue. >> from a national security perspective, it's running off of diesel and we can do better than that. >> yes sir? >> i'm not an expert in nuclear. [laughter] you talk about the timeline but the goal for environmental from a nuclear standpoint is to reach zero. the last nuclear reactor bill was this year. what sort of timeline are we talking about? whether it is the small nuclear reactions -- reactors or the big ones. the second question i have, given the u.s. is banning russian uranium and trying to incentivize use in the united states, it still leads china. i guess it comes down to the same question with critical minerals, you have concentrated and maybe not ideal places except maybe cana

i've made no public canal mad simmons because i've made no announcements on the nrc but thn danes andvering 51 seatrings but 53 seats. number two, i can tell you we want to hear from each and every person who is there to make goor hiring decisions. number three, i spoke with president trump and made sure t they are on the samehe page with the vision we have to make sure the nrc is able to produce not to go years of the majority but r while he hasea an office. we need four years of republican majority. that wilrityl require us to hava united republican party.n pa so to that and there, i am working not only on staffing it and also creating a succession plan so that when i am finished at the rnc whether jim banks, marsha blackburn, pete ricketts, three vice chair to come, they will have an opportunity to have their hands and the pie so we have explosive opportunities to win in places where president trump wae prs very cl, wisconsin, michigan. we were aschig close to new mexo we were virginia here to the mat continues to expand because there is a working-class coalition that wants to make

nrc is famous for slow-walking guidance from the political sector and again, that's a very long-term process to get mining and processing rebuilt. brief word on electricity, we talked about ai a little bit, need more electricity. canada has all of the beautiful hydroresources that they are willing to develop and share with the united states and i think it's a perfect fit because the areas of the united states that are, toned discourage new development of electricity, new england which won't allow natural gas pipelines to bring power to that area of the country and west coast which is temperamentally, politically against any sort of energy development and i think if we can work on together on transmission across the borders, coordinate our standards for transmission lines, i think that would be a great addition to the north american arsenal of energy. let me say a few words about oil and gas and try to put it into context of this new administration. one of the things that spurred is we talked about in both panels, development of new resources, both canada and the united states, gas an

we have that issue from the nrc. a lot of customers are interested in that.e data centers, but traditional industrial customers. having that in place, is like starting on first base. for our customers. >> we think it is great. it is kind of this boring, philadelphia and chicago unit. suddenly they came out with a constellation. is that something you would like to do with a renewal split? would you like to keep it in energy? >> it is all in the vertically regulated company. we are comfortable there. it provides all of the access and growth that our customers need. >> do you think under a new president, elon musk, can come in and say that we need to rebuild the grid and have a new year grid? can we streamline it so that you can do all of the ones that you want? that is the cleanest power. >> we are very bullish on the nuclear power, for sure. you can have all kinds of power in there. >> you have a lot of solar generation coming on. >> we have the d.o.e. study going on. we are also looking at nuclear. we don't have any of that in our forecast. we are working clo

i know richard hudson who is the nrc chair says they think they can flip a seat here. he also thinks that in north carolina they can pick up four seats. main they could flip name. in california there's five close races. there is three in new york. the balance of power in the house could come down to new york and california which are typically thought of just as democrat strongholds but some important republican seats. how do you think the night will go? >> i think president trump is going to have tremendous coattails and house republicans are going to over perform just like we did in 2016 and 2020, the last two times president trump was on the ballot. you point out a really important trend. both california and new york are traditionally viewed as blue states but people are experiencing the double whammy of failed policies of kamala harris with state policies that are horrific by democrat governors. that's why you saw flip seats in new york. we flipped five seats in the midterms and in every single district in new york and every swing district across the country, kamala

the nrc is famous for slow walking guidance from the political sector, so -- and again that's a very long-term process to get mining and processing rebuild. brief word on electricity. we talked about ai a little bit, the need for more electricity. canada has all of these beautiful hydra resources that they seem to be willing to develop and share with the united states. i think it's a perfect fit, because the areas of the united states that are -- tend to discourage new development of electricity -- for instance, new england, which won't allow natural gas pipelines to bring power to that area of the country and the west coast, which is temperamentally politically against any sort of energy development, i think if we can work on together on trans emission across the borders, coordinate our standards for, well, electric transmission lines, i think that will be a great addition to the north american arsenal of energy. le me sayt about oil and gas and put it into context of the new administration. one of the things that spurred -- we talked about in both panels development of new resource

us in studio, the man who led barack obama's re-election campaign, jim mussina, matt gorman, former nrcmunications director and key adviser to tim scott's presidential campaign, great to have both of you here. let's start in maricopa county. it has been a center of disinformation. and donald trump, when he went to vote in florida, just a couple of hours ago, talked about it. let's listen. >> if they would use paper ballots, voter i.d., proof of citizenship, and one day voting, it would all be over by 10:00 in the evening. i'm hearing states where i'm up by a lot, but they won't have a final number for a long time. i'd like the republicans to stay online. democrats, if they like, they can leave. i would like the republicans to stay in line. >> it is the one thing we haven't talked about, the impact of misinformation and in some cases flat out lies. not misinformation. but just lies. what are you watching for? does it worry you and do you think the harris campaign is ready for it? >> i absolutely am worried about it. i chair a super pac called democracy defenders that had to get involved
