MS. PSAKI: Hi, everyone. Good afternoon. We have three guests joining us today: Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, and Deputy Security of Energy David Turk.
I since Secretary Granholm and Mayorkas have been here before, I will skip their introductions. But I do want to note that Deputy Secretary Turk was previously the Deputy Executive Director of the International Energy Agency during the Obama-Biden administration. He coordinated international technology and clean energy efforts at DOE, and served as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director at the National Security Council.

During a slow news period, such attention might be somewhat justified. But slow news is about the last thing that comes to mind given what s happening domestically and abroad. For starters, a gas crisis is hitting the U.S. East Coast and warfare is escalating between Israel and Hamas.
No matter. In the eyes of some executive producers and the network leadership they report to, Cheney
must be the focus. Because if anything can be attached to Donald Trump while allowing the narrative of a hopeless GOP civil war to continue being pushed, then it absolutely will lead, without question.
