US Rep Mike Pompeo:

The 52-year-old congressman from Kansas was a visible member of the House investigation into Benghazi. He graduated from West Point, served as an Army officer and attended Harvard Law School before working as an executive in aerospace manufacturing and the oil industry. 

Another man with a no-nonsense approach when it comes to global warming.

NPR failed to mention that Rep Pompeo graduated first in his West Point class.
