On this episode of The Bauer and Rose Podcast, Tom Rose and Gary Bauer delve into the political spectacle surrounding the formal certification of Donald Trump as President-Elect, marking a rare moment of bipartisan decorum. They scrutinize the Democrats' strategic shift in optics, contrasting their newfound restraint with past contentious transitions. Bauer and Rose explore the Biden administration's controversial policy maneuvers, particularly the sweeping oil leasing ban, which they argue undermines America's energy independence. They highlight the administration's actions as part of a broader agenda that seems to counter national interests, likening it to an "insurrection" against the American people. The hosts discuss the alarming vulnerabilities in U.S. national security, including revelations of Chinese cyber infiltration capable of crippling critical infrastructure. They emphasize the urgent need for robust leadership to address these threats and restore America's global standing. In a forward-looking segment, Bauer and Rose consider the potential of a Trump presidency to rejuvenate American manufacturing and energy sectors. They discuss strategic opportunities, such as the proposed merger between Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel, which could bolster the domestic steel industry and strengthen U.S.-Japan relations.
