1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,240 Speaker 1: In twenty nine to fifty bout kersee de Talk station. 2 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: Very happy Wednesday to you, Brian Thomas here in always 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: looking talking and looking forward to talking to Americans for prosperity, 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: helping you and me do the necessary steps to bring 5 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: about some sort of logical and reasonable reform which will 6 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: benefit all Americans. Welcome back from AFP, Donovan and Neil. 7 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 1: It's great having you back on the show, sir Brian. 8 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 2: Always great to be with you. 9 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: And yeah, sort of springing from my comment about German 10 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: Chancellor Merge now finally admitting that it was stupid and 11 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 1: suicidal to try to go full on carbon neutral. Look 12 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: what they're doing. They're building eight gigawatts of new gas 13 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: fired power plants. Hopefully they'll get them online by twenty 14 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: thirty one. This is County your twenty twenty six. I 15 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: guess they have regulations that standing the way of a 16 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: fishing production of new energy there too. But maybe we 17 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: can bring about some efficiencies and reductions in the regulatory 18 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: burden here in the United States, because who can deny 19 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: that our energy demands are growing and that we can't 20 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: rely on the sun and the wind to provide us 21 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: our ever growing energy demands Donovan O'Neill. Well, yeah, I. 22 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 2: Think what we're seeing is a shift not just around 23 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 2: the world, but most importantly here in America, with a 24 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: where returning the page from having a scarcity approach to 25 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 2: energy policy making to an abundance approach to energy policy making. 26 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 2: What that means, Brian, is we're gonna unleash energy abundance. 27 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 2: We're gonna instead of saying there's only so much of 28 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:28,839 Speaker 2: the pie to go around, we're gonna build a bigger pie. 29 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: This scarcity model was built on a lie. It was 30 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: a product of making energy intentionally scarce, not because we 31 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: were running out of the opportunity to build it or 32 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 1: create it. Right. 33 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, Okay, yeah, I want to make. 34 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: Sure we were clear on that concept because it's something 35 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: that really just pisses me off. You cut your own 36 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: throat economically, in the name of all this is the 37 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: religion we're going after, Donovan. Isn't it carbon dioxide? Evil 38 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: plant food? We need to get rid of it. 39 00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 2: This is it. 40 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: Finally, we're all coming out and waking up to the 41 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: idea that we've been sold a bill of goods. 42 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 2: That's right. Well, and in talking with lawmakers about this, 43 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 2: it's baffling to me. You know. Then there's number them 44 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 2: that put these provisions of the place or direct to 45 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: the regulators to do it. But a lot of this 46 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 2: has been you know, those those in the shadows, regulators 47 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 2: and controllers like PGM, who have pushed that idea right 48 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: and said, hey, we don't want new nuclear, we don't 49 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: want new coal, we don't want new gas powered. We 50 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 2: want wind and solar. And when it's just not adding up. 51 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 2: It's where we find ourselves in this situation today, high 52 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: energy costs, low availability, and questions about grid stability. 53 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Mertz, Chancellor Mertz to have acceptable market prices, 54 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: i e. What you and I can afford, Donovan for 55 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: energy production. Again, we would have to permanently subsidize energy 56 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: prices from the federal budget. We can't do this in 57 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: the long run. At least he's speaking reality now, Donovan, 58 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: and maybe the pgams of the world were all itching 59 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: and get you with excitement about putting up windmill farms 60 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: and solar panels because they got all kinds of cash 61 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: love from the federal government incentivized to do just that. 62 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, money aside. The difference here is between renewable 63 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 2: energy sources and reliable energy sources. At the end of 64 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 2: the day, what we want our reliable sources right when 65 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 2: it gets to negative ten degrees in Ohio, like we 66 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 2: have happened from time to time in the winter, we 67 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 2: need to know that that energy can be dispatched, generated quickly, 68 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 2: and dispatched efficiently. That doesn't happen in cloudy cold days 69 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: where with slip panels, or you know, even in frigid 70 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 2: weather with wind. It comes from nuclear, coal, natural gas. 71 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 2: It really comes from a diverse array of energy. But 72 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 2: we need these reliable sources to provide that dependable, affordable 73 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 2: energy that so many people need to heat their homes 74 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: in the winter and cool them in the summer. 75 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the whole thing about PGAM puzzles. Yes, they're 76 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: on that green energy tract and they don't seem to 77 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: be doing anything. And politicians up in the Northeast tend 78 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: to be blue states, and for whatever reason, they're against 79 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: the idea of efficient, quick, reliable energy production just because 80 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, is it the cult of global warming 81 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: that they're convinced on, or is it some of the 82 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: nefarious purpose that they're up to. I don't know, but 83 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: the idea that that region keeps drawing more and more 84 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: AI data centers, Like, why would you hook yourself up 85 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: to the ubilical court of unreliable energy knowing full well 86 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: that there are other places in this country that provide constant, 87 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: easily reliable energy sources. So put it over there and 88 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: not up there, if you know what I mean. 89 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, well we just saw Actually, I don't know if 90 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 2: you saw this. I know you're a big nuclear fan, Bryan. Yes, 91 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: Vistra just announced partnerships with our with data centers Meta 92 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 2: to do some additional private investment in nuclear here in Ohio. 93 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 2: I think that's the key to really unlocking this up right, 94 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 2: as we get the permitting reform done, get the red tape, 95 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 2: the regulators out of the way, we allow private companies, 96 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 2: billion dollar companies right like Matt, Amazon and others who 97 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 2: are also draining a lot of this energy to be 98 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 2: able to invest in in strong, dependable, reliable energy like nuclear. 99 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 2: That's how we not only maintain our ability to have 100 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 2: these data centers as the national security interest here in 101 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 2: the United States, but we also help bring down the 102 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 2: cost of energy by getting a more private investment into 103 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 2: the energy sector. 104 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: Amen, and maybe the Speed Act might be something transformative 105 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: to permit us to get in that area or to 106 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: do just that. We're going to hear about some of 107 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: the details of the Speed Act, which AFP is calling 108 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 1: on lawmakers to embrace more with Donovan Neil, plus a 109 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: word or two about the government funding deadline fast approaching. 110 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: On the thirtieth at seven forty fifty five KRCD Talk Station, 111 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 1: Brian Thomas here with Donovan and Neil, Americans for Prospered. 112 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: Do we do this? Everyone? Stay be again at seven 113 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: thirty talking energy policy. Well, Donovan, it sounds like we 114 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: have met the me and they are us, at least 115 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: the giant swath of us, those being the elected officials 116 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: who intentionally cut our throats and deprive us of inexpensive, 117 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: easily deployable energy in the name of whatever. Obviously it 118 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: has a nefarious element, totallyst I'm sticking with my view 119 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: of that. But there is the Speed Act, which AFP 120 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: describes as a game changer. What is the Speed Act? 121 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: And do we have an option to actually get this through? 122 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 2: Well, it passed out of Congress, the lower chamber, and 123 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 2: it's over at the sitting with the Senate right now, 124 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 2: and we see an opportunity with this January thirtieth funding deadline. 125 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 2: They've got to get the rest of their regular order 126 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: bills done or pass the Continuing Resolution. We think they 127 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 2: can get this included in that marathon sprint to January thirtieth. 128 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 2: And what it would do, Brian, for your listener's benefit, 129 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 2: is it would really modernize the federal permitting process. We 130 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 2: already did this at the state level, and I've been 131 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 2: on your show a few times talking about it with 132 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 2: a piece of legislation called House Bill fifteen. The Speed Act, 133 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 2: to me, does a lot of the similar things, but 134 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 2: just at the federal level, modernizing the modernizing NEPA, setting 135 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 2: deadlines for feral agencies to make permitting decisions, as well 136 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: as limiting scope among other things. And that limiting scope, 137 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 2: I think is important because you get these overzealous regulators, right, 138 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 2: these folks who think they're going to change the world 139 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 2: by broad interpretations of congressional authorization, when what their job 140 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 2: really is, right, Congress makes the laws, the executive branch 141 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 2: enforces those laws, and they're not supposed to go beyond that. 142 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 2: Even with modern reforms like Chevron and regulatory reforms like 143 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 2: Grains Act, we see these oversualous regulators get a little 144 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: outside of their lane. The Speed Act would help limit 145 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 2: that scope to really what the proximity caused by the project, 146 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 2: rather than know these through or fourth or fifth order 147 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 2: issues that they kind of construe as reasons for not 148 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 2: allowing energy projects or other products to proceed. Well. 149 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: Are these unnamed, unknown, unelected regulators behind the scenes that 150 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: are making life so complicated for us to have the 151 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: energy that we know we could easily produce I mentioned 152 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: smile modular reactors Again, Are they political idelogs? 153 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 2: I mean? 154 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: Or do they have some sort of nefarious intent behind them? 155 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: Do they want to deprive us of the greatness that 156 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: we can achieve even more so with abundant energy? I mean, 157 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: what's their deal? Donovan mean, do. 158 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 2: We know does anyone fully understand the mind of a bureaucrat? 159 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: No, But you're pointing out illustrates the reality we've been 160 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: dealing with such a long time, absent to Chevron decisions 161 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: and others which have endeavored to pair back this liberal 162 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: viewpoint that all these unelected officials have behind the scenes 163 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: that they once given any subject matter, they can put 164 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: out a regulation that rules over something so broad it 165 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: was never contemplated by Congress, and yet they've been doing 166 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 1: it forever. I mean, what is their motivation? I guess 167 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: I'm really struggling with that because it always ends up 168 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: working on very poorly for us as a nation. See 169 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: the current energy crisis we're facing. 170 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 2: Well, I'll get a little philosophical here of but to 171 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 2: the soul I think outlined it in his Conflict of 172 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 2: Visions book, right where there's a constrained and an unconstrained 173 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 2: vision that people hold, we as conservatives, but in fact 174 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 2: our nation, our funding fathers held a constrained vision for 175 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 2: our nation. And that's not in a bad way. Right. 176 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: The Declaration of Independence gives us I'm sorry, the Constitution 177 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 2: gives us those those negative rights, that ability that this 178 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 2: is the things that the government can do, and the 179 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 2: rest are retained by the people. Right where the unconstrained 180 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 2: viewpoint says, you know, the ends justify the means. In short, 181 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 2: right the rest of it be damned. The idea is 182 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 2: that you know, you give me enough power and I 183 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 2: can solve the problems of the world that far. That's 184 00:09:58,720 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 2: the dilemma. 185 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: If all they were trying to solve the problems of 186 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: the world. I mean, go back to Germany again. They 187 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: cut their own throats. They made it unaffordable to produce energy, 188 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: the same thing Barack Obama was his plan. I use 189 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 1: this line all the time because he said it over 190 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: and over again. The price of gasoline will necessarily increase. 191 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: Why do laws of supply and demand? Nope, because we're 192 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: making it harder. Is that solving a problem, Donovan, No, 193 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: I think it's making the existing problem that much worse. 194 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, And we see it play out, whether it's in 195 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 2: the energy sector where we got to five dollars a 196 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: gallon prices in Ohio. I think it was close to 197 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 2: five dollars yere in Ohio. During the Biden administration, healthcare 198 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 2: costs that we've talked about on your show many times 199 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 2: skyrocketing again not to Republicans in action, but in fact 200 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 2: Democrats actions, voting consistently to increase subsidies and march us 201 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 2: down this path of perpetual Obamacare that's making everything more affordable, 202 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 2: from painkiller tailand alls to to X rays for your 203 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 2: kid's broken arm. It's insane. And these policies, right, it's 204 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 2: this idea that out of Washington d c they know 205 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 2: better than the people in Ohio. It's the classic trust 206 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 2: the experts of COVID line right, and we see this 207 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 2: and that's what's made energy so expensive. But fortunately, Brian, 208 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 2: let's bring it back to the sunshine and rainbows here. 209 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 2: That is very much in front of us right now 210 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 2: and as an opportunity, the Speed Act. Congress has got 211 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 2: it done, the Senate, the House of Representatives has got 212 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 2: it done. The Senate is holding onto it and can 213 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 2: do this thing. It's a priority of the leadership team 214 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 2: there the Republican majority. President Trump one of his first 215 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 2: actions as president nearly nearly a year ago, now got 216 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 2: to his administration to work and identify these problems. The 217 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 2: Speed Act would help codify a lot of those problems 218 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 2: that the Trump administration identified and said, we want Congress 219 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 2: to remove the authority from the executive branch to unlead 220 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 2: so this. By doing that, we can unleash energy abundance 221 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 2: in this country. 222 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: All right, Donald, and nail Americans for a prosperity call 223 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: to action.
