The host of the Jacki Daily show has had an impressive career in energy, law, and politics.
Most recently, Jacki served as General Counsel to an engineering firm specializing in energy, national security and environmental cleanup. Previously, she served many years as legal counsel on Capitol Hill to the Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Constitution and the former Ranking Member of the Commercial and Administrative Law Subcommittee, advising on the oversight of federal agencies. Prior to her career in Washington, she worked as a corporate litigator, and as an Assistant Vice President for a national bank.
She entered public life at a young age, as a finalist in the Miss Teen of America pageant. She also served as the Public Relations Director for a statewide political organization.
Jacki studied Economics, Spanish, and World History at Marshall University (Society of Yeager Scholars), Oxford University in the United Kingdom, and the University of Zaragoza in Spain. She is an alumna of the Vanderbilt University Law School, where she served as the President of the law school’s Federalist Society chapter.
Jacki has an extensive network in her six overstuffed rolodexes from which the show draws its guests—including industry leaders representing all parts of the energy sector (oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear, solar, and wind), and government officials, journalists, and political insiders. Often, Jacki will know the day’s most-wanted guest and be able to secure the guest with a personal call.
Jacki is from the Ohio River Valley, where the shale runs deep. She descends from a long line of energy workers, including roughnecks, railroaders, coal miners, and nuclear energy specialists.

Geopolitical impacts of Iran Deal & Threats to Energy Grid 7/19/2015
Jacki talks to former CIA director Jim Woolsey about the geopolitical impacts of the Iran Deal. She talks with Senator Bob Hall of Texas about the threat to the Energy grid.
Also she talks with Former National Security Advisory General James Jones.

The United States is now the top energy producer in the world. For that, we are thankful. But all the shale gas, crude oil, coal, nuclear energy and renewables on earth are of little benefit if we do not have a secure means of delivering energy to our homes, our hospitals, schools and even our military. For this reason, we must focus on securing the U.S. electrical grid, the means of delivering our energy, at all costs.
Throughout history, literature has played a key role in educating and inspiring the public to “think beyond†to a world of possibilities as yet unknown to mankind – both good and bad. Optimistic and degenerative. Science fiction novels inspired generations of students-turned-scientists to new heights of human achievement. Works by Orwell and Clancy took on an almost prophetic posture, catalyzing political philosophies and serving as cautionary tales for those who would pay the “price of freedom†which President Jefferson reminded us is “eternal vigilance.â€
Joining their ranks is Dr. Bill Forstchen, author and technology historian who became inspired to make his contribution of vigilance in the form of a New York Times best-selling novel entitled, One Second After. This book is the product of years of study, having carefully analyzed official government reports warning of electromagnetic pulse or “EMP†and its existential threat to the modern electrical grid and our way of life. Dr. Forstchen paints the picture of what can happen if the United States does not heed the warning of its top security experts, leaving the U.S. electrical grid vulnerable to attack, whether man-made or natural in origin. The book portrays an attack on North America from an idyllic, small-town North Carolina setting. Americans find themselves tossed back into the 19th century as they fight for survival over a period of many months without electricity. Starvation, thirst and the inevitable societal breakdown ensues as modern Americans attempt to survive the world of their great-great grandparents, but with little knowledge or experience of their past.
Don’t worry; this interview ends on a high note of what Americans can do to protect ourselves from the threat of EMP.

In this segment, Jacki and Clinton appointee Amb. Woolsey discuss the vulnerability of the U.S. electrical grid and the threat of electromagnetic pulse, or “EMP.â€

Protecting the Electrical Grid from Terrorist Attack
Congressman Trent Franks, Founder of the EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) Caucus, shares the good news about his Critical Infrastructure Protection Act finally moving through the Congress, and what can be done to protect the grid from terrorism and solar storms that could kill the grid for months at a time.

CIA Director Woolsey Talks Iran Nuke Deal
Amb. Jim Woolsey explains why this is a disastrous deal for the U.S., what he would be thinking if he were still Director of the CIA and what to expect when this petro-state goes nuclear.

*IF* this happens, ANDIF the disabling effects are/is as bad as Forschten thinks they are, ANDIF I am within get-home-bag distance of ‘home’ — then we just might make it as a family and a neighborhood.
IF I am travelling for business. ANDIF the remaining conditions are true, I am likely not going to last 30 days. I will be unarmed, out of town and connections, and likely in an urban center (business travel).
Option A, or Option B.
