Speaker 1: I'm Steve gerrid Is Wednesday, the fourth of March, the

Speaker 1: Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty six. It's good of

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: the day's top stories. As always, thank you for joining

17
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: me here on Real America's Voice. We truly appreciate your patronage.

18
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 4: Pros.

19
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: The Drump is scheduled for a roundtable discussion this hour

20
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: on rate payer protection from increased electricity costs to the

21
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: expansion of data centers across the country. It'll happen in

22
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: the Indian Treaty room at the White House. Any moment now,

23
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: since he goes live, we'll take you to the White

24
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: House for all that action to see if they can

25
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: control your electric bills. Meanwhile, we have a lot to

26
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: get to from the ongoing DHS funding conflict to Operation

27
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: Epics fere against Iran, as well as the primaries and

28
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: midterms that are fully in swing now.

29
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: So let's dive right in.

30
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: With the United States involved in a high stakes war,

31
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: it seems to me that some inside the Beltway have

32
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: lost the whole thing in a fog of partisanship. The

33
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security has been shut down now for

34
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: about two and a half weeks, and DHS Secretary Christy

35
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: Nome testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday

36
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: to answer questions about the administration's immigration enforcement. She called

37
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: the current shutdown reckless and slam Democrats for putting party

38
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: over country.

39
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 5: Here she is, the latest Democrat led shutdown of DHS

40
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 5: is reckless, necessary, and it undermines the American national security,

41
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 5: and it harms the men and women who work at

42
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 5: DHS and their families. Despite the House passing a bipartisan

43
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 5: bi cameral full year DHS funding bill. It is Senate

44
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 5: Democrats who've chosen not to fund the department and have

45
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 5: held this department hostage. As a result, critical national security

46
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 5: missions including border security, immigration enforcement, aviation security, disaster response, cybersecurity,

47
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 5: and the protection of critical infrastructure are all being strained.

48
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 5: Our ability to provide for a safe and successful World

49
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 5: Cup is being hindered as well. More than one hundred

50
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 5: thousand dedicated DHS employees are once again being asked to

51
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 5: work without pay for the third time in just five months.

52
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: Well, the level of Democrat hypocrisy on this issue, it's

53
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: mind blowing. This is the party that wants to hand

54
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: out paychecks to people who aren't working using your tax dollars,

55
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: but is unwilling to pay hard working citizens doing jobs.

56
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: They're actually doing a need to be done, important jobs

57
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: protecting the country.

58
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: And it's a job that the American people voted for.

59
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: DHS has already removed three million the illegal aliens from

60
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: this country, and Democrats want to penalize them for doing

61
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: exactly that. There are obvious national security consequences for this shutdown,

62
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: but they are also heart wrenching personal ones. Just a

63
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, the administrator of the TSA Tool Congress

64
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: that during the last shutdown, agents were having to sleep

65
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: in their cars to save on gas, sell their plasma

66
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: for a few extra bucks, and take on second jobs too,

67
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: And now Democrats have put them through it all again.

68
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: It's hell.

69
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: And how do they even get back on their feet

70
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: if they haven't had a chance to do that yet.

71
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: Christy Noms shared several more stories during her testimony yesterday.

72
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: Here's a couple a.

73
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 5: Couple of the stories that I had heard when I

74
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 5: spent time with them just in recent days. Was one

75
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 5: individual whose wife needed cancer treatment twelve hundred dollars treatment

76
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 5: that he couldn't afford and had to go and borrow

77
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 5: money so she could get her cancer treatment because he

78
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 5: wasn't getting his paycheck. Another individual who had nine children

79
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 5: was raising two of his grandchildren as well, that was

80
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 5: struggling to pay his bills. Took a nighttime job as

81
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 5: a welder just to try to keep food on the

82
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 5: table for the responsibilities that he had. These people joined

83
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 5: TSA because of nine to eleven, because they want to

84
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 5: be a part of keeping people safe in the United

85
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 5: States and defending our homeland. Beyond that, FEMA our ability

86
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 5: to fund. Disaster response is virtually gone. It needs to

87
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 5: be refunded. Our FEMA employees are out there doing work

88
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 5: every single day, but we have ten thousand, eight hundred

89
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 5: individuals that are funded out of the disaster relief fund

90
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 5: that could potentially not be there for them and not

91
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 5: respond to individuals who need it when they have those

92
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 5: terrible storms or devastating crisises.

93
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, there can no longer be any more doubt over

94
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: the fact that the Democrat Party is the America last party.

95
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: They're putting off disaster relief funding for Americans because they're

96
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: mad that non American criminals are being sent back to

97
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: their own countries.

98
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: I know it's weird, right.

99
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: Gnomes shared more than just personal stories those She also

100
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: dropped this bombshell, which should be grounds for throwing Joe

101
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: Biden and Aleander Americas into jail.

102
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: I mean, if there's equal justice, listen.

103
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 5: The one thing that has been challenging is that under

104
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 5: the Biden administration, the government paid sponsors in HHS in

105
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 5: order to host these children, and those sponsors many times

106
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 5: we found instances where they trafficked these children themselves. So

107
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 5: under that administration, we not only had children that were

108
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 5: in this country as a part of a program, the

109
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 5: government was paying individuals that were knowingly trafficking them and

110
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 5: abusing them. That has stopped. We have gone through and

111
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 5: found these children and put them back with their families

112
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 5: when we have the opportunity to do so, and with

113
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 5: loved ones that will care for them. And I would

114
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 5: say that even in one case, we have other countries

115
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 5: where we've been working with them to get their children

116
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 5: back home, where we've been prevented returning these families back

117
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 5: and helping them to be reunified by activist judges. But

118
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 5: we will continue to work to ensure that these individuals

119
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 5: and these children that were abused by the trafficking over

120
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 5: the border have the opportunity to be brought back to

121
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 5: their families and to their loved ones going forward.

122
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: Well, the last administration was so hell bent on flooding

123
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: our country with the illegals that it was paying child

124
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: traffickers to sponsor unaccompanied miners, paying them with your money.

125
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: Give them the benefit of the doubt that they didn't

126
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: know that they were paying child traffickers, but they clearly

127
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: didn't do their due diligence and making sure that the

128
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: people they were handing paychecks to were not trafficking these

129
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: children well for bad things. It should make every elected

130
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: politician in the room sick to their stomach to hear that,

131
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: regardless of political party, this is selective compassion to claim

132
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: to be compassionate towards the illegal aliens, but have no problem

133
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: with an administration let those kids homes of unvetted child

134
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: traffickers simply because the system was too overwhelmed to stop it.

135
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: Like Secretary Nome said, the shutdown undermines our national security

136
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: and handicaps the Department of Homeland Security from keeping our

137
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: homeland safe. And I can't imagine a more important time

138
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: for that objective than right now. During the Biden administration,

139
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: we know for a fact that at least two thousand

140
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: Iranian nationals were released directly into the country after being

141
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: arrested at the border. How many more made it too undetected?

142
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: The answer is, we have no idea, none at all.

143
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: How many are still here in plotting our downfall on

144
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: USO while iron strikes our military bases and embassies abroad.

145
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: Joe Kat, the director of the US National counter Terrorism Center,

146
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: testified just back in December on the staggering number of

147
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: individuals with jee hottest ties that were allowed into this

148
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: country during the Biden administration.

149
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 6: Here's what he said, NCTC has been crunching the numbers

150
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 6: and going through the sheer volume of known and suspected

151
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 6: terrorists that are in the country that came in under

152
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 6: the Biden administration. So far, NCTC has identified around eighteen

153
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 6: thousand known and suspected terrorists that the Biden administration let

154
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 6: come into our country. These are individuals who, under normal

155
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 6: circumstances would never be allowed to enter our country because

156
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 6: of their ties to Jihati groups like ISIS and al Qaeda.

157
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 6: Yet the Biden administration not only let them into the

158
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 6: country and in many cases facilitated their entry into the country,

159
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 6: just like the entry of the Afghan terrorists who committed

160
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 6: the terrorist attack here just before Thanksgiving, killing one of

161
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 6: our National Guard members and wounding another. That Afghan was

162
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 6: brought into the country as a group of over one

163
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 6: hundred thousand Afghans who were brought here during the disastrous

164
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 6: withdraw from Afghanistan. These individuals, despite what has been reported,

165
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 6: were not vetted properly to come into the United States.

166
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: Eighteen thousand that we know of.

167
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: Ken said that NCTC was working over time with the

168
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: FBI and DHS to get these people off our streets.

169
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: But that was just in December, and DHS is not

170
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: even funded currently, as you know, So who knows how

171
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: many of those eighteen thousand are still out and about

172
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: walking around, and how many more are hiding that we

173
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: don't even know about.

174
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: It is important, more important.

175
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: Than ever that Democrats swallow their pride and fund DHS

176
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: so that it can protect Americans during this time of

177
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: war both abroad and soon here. Sadly, Trump accurately described

178
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: the mindset of the people who chant death to America yesterday.

179
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: Here's what he said.

180
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 7: A big, big factor in this world and future factor

181
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 7: is what we're doing right now with Iran. If we

182
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 7: don't stop them, or if we didn't stop them, or

183
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 7: if we didn't start, they've been decimated. But if we

184
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 7: didn't do what we're doing right now, you would have

185
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 7: had a nuclear war and they would have taken out

186
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 7: many countries. Because you know what this is sick people.

187
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 7: They're mentally ill, sick people. They're angry, they're crazy, they're sick.

188
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's no question that these crazy, angry people

189
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: are here and they're not afraid. In fact, they've set

190
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: up demonstrations outside the White House showing a full embrace

191
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: of Islamic terrorism while making a martyr of Ali Hamani,

192
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: the former Supreme leader.

193
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 2: Here it is.

194
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 7: Haya haya, and that means never accept humiliation. And we

195
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 7: truly are people that will never accept the humiliation. From

196
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 7: Iran to Palestine, from Palestine to.

197
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: Yemen, we will not back down, We will not give up,

198
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 2: and we will.

199
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 4: Kick the boot of.

200
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 7: Imperialism off the neck of our region.

201
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 4: In shah allah. Let her go by, come alone, Thank

202
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 4: you all the Saddam.

203
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: It looks to me like DHS should probably check out

204
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: most of the people in that crowd at this time.

205
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: That's a good place to start.

206
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: Now, this can't be a winning strategy for Democrats to

207
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: support flying the Islamic Republic of Iran's flag outside the

208
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: White House.

209
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: That alone should lose them the midterms.

210
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: But they'll continue to spin and spin to make that

211
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: seem normal and American.

212
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 4: It's not.

213
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: We have more allies than ever abroad, but the threat

214
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: here at home is real. Within a day of the

215
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: strikes against Aron, that man from Senegal, West Africa open

216
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: fire inside a bar in Austin, Texas, killing three Injuring

217
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: fourteen more, he was wearing a sweatshirt for the words

218
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: property of a Law and had an Iranian flag on

219
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: the shirt.

220
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: Underneath.

221
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: He frequently posted an anti American pro g Hotta sentiments

222
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: on Twitter, encouraging the coming of the Islamic Revolution in America.

223
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: And this is how he acted on those sentiments. And

224
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: I'm willing to bet that there are more like him.

225
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: It's weird to me that the FBI says we're trying

226
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 1: to figure out the motive. I think we've got that

227
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: figured out, But I digress. The Democrat parties reckless shut

228
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: down exposes their true colors as the America Asked Cabal,

229
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: punishing the heroes at DHS for daring to deport the

230
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: very illegals Americans voted to remove, while radicals wave Iranian

231
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: flags outside the White House and chie hottests like the

232
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: Austin shooter Act on the hatred Biden's open borders invited

233
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: here TSA agents shouldn't sell plasma or sleep in their cars,

234
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: or child traffickers and terror watchless threats can roam free.

235
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: Those testimony lays bare. This isn't compassion it's complicity in

236
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: national suicide fun DHS now and the games or on

237
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: the next attack. America First is an optional, it's survival.

238
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: And that's the monologue for today. Coming up after the break,

239
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: the race for George's Governor is heating up as we

240
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: inch closer to the midterm primaries and closer to the

241
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: midterm elections.

242
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,119
Speaker 2: I'll be bringing on the leading.

243
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: Republican candidate for the race for George's governor next.

244
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 8: Well.

245
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: With the twenty twenty six midterms now underway and Republican

246
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: primaries just held in three states, to fight for the

247
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: future of the GOP is front and center, and that

248
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: energy now filling into the race for for George's Governor

249
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: and the next governor of that state. As President Trump's

250
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: America First agenda drives turnout in Shape's key contest, one

251
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: conservative outsider is doing well in early polling, positioning himself

252
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: as the candidate who can carry that momentum forward and

253
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: deliver real results for voters there in the Peach state

254
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: I mean now is Rick Jackson running for governor of Georgia.

255
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 2: Rick, welcome back, Thank you very much, Steve. I appreciate it.

256
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: Now you here the last time you were here, we

257
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: talked about US antibiotics, and now you're running for governor

258
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: of Georgia.

259
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: What happened between then and now?

260
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 9: Well, first of all, I was inspired by the way

261
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 9: that Trump runs the country like a business. So as

262
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 9: an example, when we bought US Antibiotics in twenty one,

263
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 9: we changed the name of the company to US Antabotics,

264
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 9: and it took seven months under Biden just to get.

265
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: The logo approved.

266
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,119
Speaker 9: Under Trump, we introduced a new medicine called the marxacil

267
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 9: In XR. We applied in October and got approved in

268
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 9: sixty days because they streamlined the FDA.

269
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: And it's just unbelievable what he's done there.

270
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 9: In addition to that, I was talking to the White

271
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 9: House about the fact that we make a oxacilin for

272
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 9: seven cents, but Americans pay a dollar apiece because of

273
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 9: all the middle people in the process. And then they

274
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 9: told me, well, next week we're coming.

275
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 4: Out with trying.

276
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: Well, I apologize for interrupting Rick, Sorry about that, But

277
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: the President is making his way into the room. President

278
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: Trump is in the Indian Treaty room today. He can

279
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: see he's making his way and he's going to hold

280
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: a roundtable event. There one point to discuss AI companies

281
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: and the need for them to power their own data centers.

282
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: Of course, these data centers are popping up all over

283
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: the country.

284
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 2: The President, I'm just about to take his seat. Let's

285
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 2: dip in and see what he has to say.

286
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 7: Times I think you probably want to speak about war

287
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 7: rather than this. But this is very important. This is

288
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 7: very important, and we're doing very well on the warfront.

289
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 7: To put it mildly, I would say, somebody said, on

290
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 7: a scale of ten, where would you ready, I said

291
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 7: about a fifteen. And we're going to continue to do

292
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 7: what We have the greatest military in the world by far,

293
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 7: and that was a tremendous threats for many years forty

294
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 7: seven years, had been killing our people and killing people

295
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 7: from all over the world. And I think we have

296
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 7: great support and I think if we didn't do it first,

297
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 7: they would have done it to Israel and give us

298
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 7: a shot if that was possible, and if we didn't

299
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 7: terminate the worst deal, one of the worst deals ever made,

300
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 7: the Obama Nuclear deal. I call it the Obama Nuclear deal,

301
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 7: where he gave everything to Iran, including a nuclear weapon.

302
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 4: It was a road to a nuclear.

303
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 7: Weapon bad things would have happened four years ago, because

304
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 7: they would have had a weapon four years ago if

305
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 7: I didn't.

306
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 4: Terminate that deal.

307
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 7: So we're in a very strong position now and their

308
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 7: leadership is just rapidly going.

309
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: Everybody that.

310
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 4: Seems to want to be a leader, they end up dead.

311
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 7: And it's an amazing, amazing thing that's taking place before

312
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 7: your eyes, because for forty seven years we were pushed

313
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 7: around and we shouldn't have been. And I think I

314
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 7: can say and you see it as well as I do.

315
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 7: You see the tremendous progress that's being made. Their missiles

316
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 7: are being wiped out rapidly, their launchers are being wiped out.

317
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 7: They're attacking their neighbors, they're attacking there in some cases

318
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 7: allies or not so long ago allies. And you know,

319
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 7: it's throughly a nation that was out of control, and

320
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 7: they would have used it on us if we let them, if.

321
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 4: We waited any longer.

322
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 7: A big factor was Solomoni, the killing of Solomoni in

323
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 7: my first term, and maybe the biggest factor was the

324
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 7: rebuilding of the military in my first term.

325
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 4: And then the B two's hit the.

326
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 7: And I use the word obliterate because it really was

327
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 7: it was a complete obliteration of their nuclear potential, and

328
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 7: that set them back.

329
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 4: Very, very seriously.

330
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 7: If we didn't hit within two weeks, they would have

331
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 7: had a nuclear weapon. If we didn't do the to

332
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 7: attack a number of months ago, they would have a

333
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 7: nuclear weapon. And when crazy people have nuclear weapons, bad

334
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 7: things happen. So we're in very good shape now. I

335
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 7: want to let you know that, and we will continue forward.

336
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 7: But it's a great display of military strength, and I'm

337
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 7: very proud to with some of the people in the room,

338
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 7: both senators and congressmen.

339
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 4: We rebuilt and women.

340
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 7: We rebuilt our military during the first term, and we're

341
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 7: using it a little bit more than I thought we

342
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 7: would have to. Venezuela worked out really great. We have

343
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 7: a wonderful relationship with the President and the various representatives,

344
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 7: and we're taking out hundreds of millions of barrels of oil.

345
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 7: Then that goes to art benefit and to Venezuela's benefit.

346
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 7: They'll be doing better than they've ever ever done before,

347
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 7: and we will get a.

348
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 4: Big piece of that.

349
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 7: And we'll also make life wonderful for the people of

350
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 7: Venezuela who have been very very badly hit. So that's

351
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 7: a lot said in a short period of time, but

352
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 7: you can witness it for yourself. And now we'll get

353
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 7: onto something that I'm very proud of because it was

354
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 7: sort of my idea. Sort of my idea like build

355
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 7: your own power plant. And everybody thought I was kidding.

356
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 7: They said, really you can do that. How would you

357
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 7: do that? I said, We'll get to you fast permits

358
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 7: and you'll build your own plants. But we're going to

359
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 7: discuss it in great detail with the biggest people in

360
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 7: the industry and some of our great leaders and senators.

361
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 7: And congratulations on the medal of Honor for your one

362
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:39,719
Speaker 7: hundred year soldier, you know, one hundred years old, one

363
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 7: on one to be exact. And Darryl's been fighting that

364
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 7: he get the Congressional Medal of Honor for many years.

365
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 10: Daryl, Right, mister President, I give you all the credit

366
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 10: for overcoming the lawyers in the Department of the Navy

367
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 10: in a way that I thought was amazing.

368
00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, you, maybe it'll be along. We had to get

369
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 7: it to him a little bit quickly. But he looks

370
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 7: like he's in good shape. He's got some years left, right.

371
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 10: He's planning him to come back here for your next

372
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 10: Medal of Honor ceremony. And he's also going to be

373
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 10: the star at Tailhook this summer. If you want to

374
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 10: come to Reno, well, I congratulate you for that success.

375
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 4: That was amazing. He didn't stop. I've known him a

376
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 4: long time. He never stops, So congratulations. Sorry nice.

377
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 7: We're here this afternoon for a historic signing that will

378
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 7: help keep down utility bills very very substantially, and electricity

379
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 7: prices for millions of Americans in many cases for a

380
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 7: lot of people that don't really understand why they're going up.

381
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 4: But they're not going to be going up. They're going

382
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 4: to be actually going down.

383
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 7: Today we follow through on an announcement I made in

384
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 7: my State of the Union address last week, as America's

385
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 7: largest tech companies officially signed the rate Payer Protection Pledge.

386
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 7: It's a big deal. I'm going to have a tremendous

387
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 7: impact on electricity costs.

388
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 4: We're bringing down all of the costs.

389
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 7: We're having this little interlude to do what we have

390
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 7: to do because we.

391
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 4: We had it going.

392
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 7: But these interludes are very important, especially this one. But

393
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 7: the economy has never been like this. We've never broke

394
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 7: fifty thousand on the DOW. People thought we wouldn't do

395
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 7: that within the first four years. We did it in

396
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 7: the first year, and we brought seven on the S

397
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 7: and P, seven thousand on the S and P. They said,

398
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 7: that's even less likely to happen, and we did that

399
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 7: too well within the first year. Under this new agreement,

400
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 7: big tech companies are committing to fully cover the costs

401
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 7: of increased electricity production required for AI data centers, and

402
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 7: that would be prices for American communities will not go up,

403
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 7: but in many cases will actually come down, and very substantially.

404
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 7: Because you know, the data centers and people are so big,

405
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 7: as you're the biggest in the world, but they've developed

406
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 7: a little bit of a bed public. They need some

407
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 7: pr help because people think that if a data center

408
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 7: goes in, their electricity prices are going to go up.

409
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 7: And that's not happening. It's not going to happen, and

410
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 7: for the areas where it did happen, it won't happen

411
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 7: anymore because they never had this alternative. It's actually going

412
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 7: to mean the prices come down.

413
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 4: You're going to see how badly they want.

414
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 7: Some centers were rejected by communities for that, and now

415
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 7: I think it's going to be just the opposite. This

416
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 7: means that the tech companies and the data centers will

417
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 7: be able to get the electricity they need, all without

418
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 7: driving up electricity course consumers. This is a historic wind

419
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 7: for countless American families. And we'll also make our electricity

420
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 7: grids stronger and more resilient than ever before.

421
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 4: So that's part of it.

422
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 7: It's going to be strengthened up, and they're going to

423
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 7: be getting a lot of excess electricity from the data centers,

424
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 7: they build their own plants, they're going to be creating

425
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 7: their own electricity. We're pleased to be joined today by

426
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 7: Speaker Mike Johnson, who's got a difficult job, but he

427
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 7: does it as easy as anybody I've ever seen do

428
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 7: that job. It's never easy when you have a majority

429
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 7: of two or sometimes less, I'm gonna say sometimes less,

430
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 7: but he's amazing. And Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who's worked

431

Speaker 4: We love labor. We love these guys.

443

456
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 7: he ran in that place called Pennsylvania, and he ran

457
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 7: against somebody.

Speaker 4: Moothquork. Is that fairly good? I don't know.

472
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 7: I'm not sure. I usually don't manage. I just go

473
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 7: right over it and I say, moothquork.

474
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 4: But how are you? Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

475
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 11: I give you a hard job. That's a hard name.

476
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 4: You did, you did, you did good. You did well

477
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 4: for the difficulty of that name. That's right, I think, so.

478
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 7: Thank you very much and Gwen short Well, uh, Gwen

479
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 7: shot Well of x Ai, another real leader.

480
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 4: Thank you very much, thank you, thank you very much.

481
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 7: Appreciate it and say hello right to a special person.

482
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 7: The last administration, their allies in Congress gave us the

483
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 7: worst inflation in I say the history of our country,

484
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 7: but they say.

485
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 4: Forty eight years. So I'll take either one. It doesn't matter.

486
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 7: The Prescotts very upset when I say the history of

487
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 7: our country. They get very angry about it. Actually they

488
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 7: say it was only forty eight years. They say, you know,

489
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 7: in some ways, forty eight years sounds worse because it's

490
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 7: very specific, but.

491
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 4: It sounds a little worse. But either way, take either one.

492
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 7: And the rudess energy policies were a big reason why

493
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 7: many working families utility bills increased more than thirty percent

494
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 7: during the Biden administration, the worst administration in the history

495
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 7: of our country. That's why on day one I declared

496
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 7: a National Energy Emergency. We had no choice but to

497
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 7: do that, and signed an executive order to dramatically accelerate

498
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 7: construction of new energy infrastructure, which we are doing at

499
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 7: record numbers, and we're rapidly bringing down those costs very rapidly.

500
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 7: We inherited a mess. I say it all the time.

501
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 7: We inherited a total mess. And in many cases we've

502
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 7: fixed it.

503
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 4: But we're fixing it. I will always be fixed, and

504
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 4: we're going to make it better and better and better.

505
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 7: Americans are still concerned that the massive energy demand from

506
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 7: AI data centers could drive up their electricity bills in

507
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 7: the future. And we understand that by twenty thirty five,

508
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 7: energy demand is expected to more than triple.

509
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 4: Can you believe it? A lot of it is AI.

510
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 7: And it's also all these big plants that are being

511
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 7: built all over the country. There coming in from Canada

512
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 7: and Mexico, from Germany, from Japan, from South Korea. They're

513
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 7: all coming here to build cars again. You know, we

514
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 7: lost fifty four percent of our car industry because we

515
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 7: had presidents that, honestly on trade and business, they didn't

516
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 7: know what the hell they were doing. I could say

517
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 7: the same thing for the chip industry. We lost the

518
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 7: hip industry. But it's all coming back. You could have

519
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 7: stopped it so easy. All you would have had to

520
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 7: do is put a charge or a tariffon if you

521
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 7: wanted to leave the United States, that's fine.

522
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 4: You can go to Taiwan or any way you want.

523
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 7: But if you're going to make your product and sell

524
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 7: it back in here, you're going to pay a hundred

525
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 7: percent or two hundred or three hundred percent tariff. And

526
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 7: nobody would have ever left. But they missed that opportunity.

527
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 7: But it's not going to matter now because it's all

528
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 7: coming they're all coming back. By twenty thirty five, energy

529
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 7: demand is expected to more than triple. Under the rate

530
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 7: payer Protection Pledge we're signing today, the big tech companies

531
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 7: are making five important commitments to keep utility prices down

532
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 7: for American consumers. First, these companies are committing to provide

533
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 7: or pay for all power generation and electricity needed for

534
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 7: their AI projects, which is massive, and where possible, they'll

535
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 7: add capacity to the grid by building new power stations,

536
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 7: so they're going to be making their own electricity.

537
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 4: They're not going to be taken from the grid, and they.

538
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 7: Will actually probably, based on what I'm seeing, they're building

539
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 7: over capacity and they'll be able to sell that over

540
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 7: capacity at very low prices into the grid.

541
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 4: In addition to that, we're fixing the grid.

542
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 7: Now, he didn't do this, This was I believe, I

543
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 7: don't know nobody's going to challenge you won't challenge me.

544
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 4: I think this was my idea. I said, wait a minute,

545
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 4: we can't.

546
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 7: When I first got involved with AI, they said, we

547
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 7: will need triple the energy. Think of this, triple the

548
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 7: energy of what we have now. Some people said double.

549
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,239
Speaker 7: I said, whether it's double a triple, that's crazy. And

550
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 7: that was just for AI. It is incredible, and when

551
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 7: you see the buildings we're talking about, you start to

552
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 7: understand it. But unless you saw it, buildings that go

553
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 7: for miles, buildings that are so big, buildings they cost

554
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 7: sixty sixty billion dollars. They said, you mean sixty million dollars.

555
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 7: When I first got involved, they said, we're building a

556
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 7: sixty billion dollar building. I said, you mean sixty million.

557
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 7: Sixty millions are big building. It's not that big, but

558
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 7: it's pretty big. Nowadays they said, no, no, sir, we're

559
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 7: going to spend sixty billion.

560
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 4: But now it's like one hundred billion and one hundred

561
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 4: and fifty billion.

562
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 7: And the bottom line, it takes electricity like nobody's ever

563
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 7: seen before. And they said, well, with an old grid,

564
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 7: even if we fix it really well, which was in

565
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 7: the process of doing, you can't take that and double

566
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 7: our electricity.

567
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 4: They're going to have to build it themselves.

568
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 7: And I told uh Mark, I actually told Mark, I

569
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 7: told Elan.

570
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 4: I told people. Nobody believed me.

571
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 7: They said, you're gonna let us build our own electrics

572
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 7: because they've been so used to being beaten down and

573
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,719
Speaker 7: to have people with no ideas, no ideas how to

574
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 7: solve problems, and then the whole thing fails.

575
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 4: It's a whole disaster. They said, no, I'm serious.

576
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 7: In one case, they submitted plans and they didn't do

577
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 7: what I told them, And one I called him, I said,

578
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 7: why don't you have your plant here?

579
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 4: We thought you were kidding. Are you serious? You really?

580
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 4: They couldn't believe it in a good way.

581
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 7: They said it's too good to be true, and I said, no,

582
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 7: it's not.

583
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 4: And here's the other thing.

584
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 7: You'll have your approvals within two, three or four weeks.

585
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 7: It used to take twenty years to get it prior

586
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 7: to rejection. So in other words, you go twenty years

587
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 7: prior to rejection.

588
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 4: They'd vote. I've known many plants where they've been. I

589
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 4: knew people.

590
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 7: They started off young, they were young, trying to get

591
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 7: approvals for a stupid plant. One plant. Their whole life

592
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 7: was devoted to getting this plant, and around twenty two years.

593
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 7: In one case, twenty two years later he got rejected.

594
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 4: I said, that's not good. He wasted let's say.

595
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 7: Half of his working life or getting an approval and

596
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 7: he didn't get Now, we get it in two weeks.

597
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 4: Three weeks, maybe four weeks. When I came in.

598
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 7: Originally in my first term, we had two big LNG

599
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 7: plants in Louisiana. They were in the fourteenth year of

600
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 7: getting approvals and they had just been rejected, and.

601
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 4: I got involved.

602
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 7: They were tremendous plants. They're up now, they're working beautifully.

603
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 7: They built the third one. They're magnificent. I mean, if

604
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 7: you like pipes, this is a plant. The whole thing

605
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 7: is look inside. All it is is pipes. I've never

606
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 7: say anything quite like it. It's like lying two or

607
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 7: three Empire state buildings on their side and doing nothing

608
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 7: but putting pipes into it.

609
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 4: So I didn't know.

610
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 7: Exactly what it represented. All I knew is this is

611
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 7: what they needed.

612
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 4: So I got involved. The first one I got done

613
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 4: in one day.

614
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 7: The second one I was a little bit slower that

615
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 7: week and it took me one week. So I got

616
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 7: the first one done in one day, got fully approved.

617
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 4: They were and when they.

618
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 7: Called up the head and I didn't want anything. I

619
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 7: don't want anything for myself. I want for the country.

620
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 7: When they called up the head of a company like

621
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 7: a Microsoft, or like any one of the people in

622
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 7: this room, but they called up the heads, they said,

623
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 7: no we got rejected. No, you just got approved. It

624
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 7: was one day, in one week, and they were built.

625
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 7: And they're in your state, by the way, right, and

626
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 7: they are big and they're doing great, and there are

627
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 7: lots of.

628
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 4: Pipes, right, that's all I noticed. I said, I've never

629
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 4: say any anyway.

630
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 7: So for these companies committing to provide or pay for

631
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 7: all power generation electricity and idied for their AI projects

632
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 7: where possible, they will add capacity to the grid. They're

633
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 7: going to be adding a lot of capacity. And I

634
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 7: think it's going to be really and I've seen some

635
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 7: power plants. I'm actually more interested in the power plant

636
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 7: than I am in information. I said, where do you

637
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 7: make the money for this? They said information? I said, okay,

638
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 7: that's good. That's got to be a lot of information though, right,

639
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,439
Speaker 7: And it's turning out to be true. David had better

640
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 7: be true because you got a big bet. This country

641
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 7: has a big bet on it. But it's incredible what

642
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 7: they're doing or what they're coming up with. Second, they'll

643
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 7: cover the costs of upgrading existing power delivery infrastructure and

644
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 7: their energy demand as it requires further investments, so they'll

645
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 7: be upgrading existing power delivery infrastructure. They will third negotiates

646
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 7: separate rate structures with utilities to clearly and cleanly assign

647
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 7: them to the costs of new capacity investments and commit

648
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 7: to paying even if they do not end up using

649
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 7: all of that electricity. They're going to make a commitment,

650
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 7: so we're going to have a situation where you're not

651
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 7: going to have increased electric bills for homes that are.

652
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 4: In the area or even outside of the area.

653
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 7: And Fourth, they'll invest in the local communities where they

654
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 7: build and operate, provide workforce development and jobs for skilled

655
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 7: Americans like those with us today.

656
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 4: We have great, great skilled.

657
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 7: People electricians, engineers, HVAC technicians, server and network technicians, power

658
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 7: plant workers, plumbers, welders, and many others, all people that

659
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 7: I've hired all my life. I've been hiring you guys,

660
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 7: and you've done a great job. I built a lot

661
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 7: of buildings, a lot of good ones, and finally, they

662
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 7: will use their infrastructure to contribute back up power to

663
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 7: local grids during during times of need. So they're gonna

664
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 7: have a lot of backup power. We're gonna have a

665
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 7: lot of excess. Basically, we're building massive amounts of electricity

666
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 7: and you're not paying for it at all. And the

667
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 7: companies want to do it because this way they can.

668
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 7: Otherwise they couldn't build. I mean, the option really was

669
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 7: not about costs. It was about there's no way of

670
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 7: possibly taking the old grid and doubling it.

671
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 4: In a matter of months or years.

672
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 7: So in short, America's largest and richest tech companies will

673
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 7: be funding a colossal expansion of US energy. We'll have

674
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 7: I read where China is building tremendous energy, and I

675
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 7: got to respect it.

676
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 4: But we're building similar amounts.

677
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 7: We're building what we need, and we're building it through

678
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 7: the private sector.

679
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 4: We're building it through great companies.

680
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 7: And I've seen some of the plants that these geniuses,

681
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 7: they are real geniuses, are showing and I say, wow,

682
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 7: that's really great. You think you're really doing things in

683
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 7: terms of technology with electricity that frankly, the standard wonderful

684
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 7: power companies probably aren't.

685
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 4: Going to be getting there.

686
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 7: Maybe as you build them, they'll be started. But some

687
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 7: of the plants that I've seen Dina are absolutely unbelievable.

688
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 7: So they're going to be producing massive amounts of electricity

689
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 7: and energy the grid. So the American consumers aren't going

690
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 7: to have to even think about it, and your electric

691
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 7: costs are going to be going down now. Unfortunately, they'll

692
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 7: take a little time to get there, so they'll say, well,

693
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 7: you know, I don't know who's going to follow me,

694
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 7: but whoever.

695
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 4: Is going to follow me is going to have some

696
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 4: big advantage. You know. It happened with Biden.

697
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 7: Where we got a lot of approvals for things, but

698
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 7: they take statutorily a year or two years. And I

699
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 7: got one on medicine that was good. Not as good

700
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 7: as Favorite Nations, which we just got that's eighty and

701
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 7: ninety percent drops.

702
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 4: Nobody's going to believe it.

703
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 7: But I got one on various medicines was good, but

704
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 7: it doesn't kick in for two years. I said, I

705
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 7: hope I win this election because I'm going to get

706
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 7: so much credit. And the election was rigged and stolen,

707
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 7: and he stood up there one day getting credit. He

708
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 7: didn't even know what the hell he was talking about.

709
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 7: He got the credit, he was talking about how he

710
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 7: did this, and he had no idea what he was

711
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 7: talking about. But we were the ones that got it,

712
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 7: and I hate that. So this is going to happen

713
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 7: again because somebody's going to be getting a lot of

714
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 7: credit into the future. But this is really the pretty

715
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 7: pretty current future. This is going to give very quickly.

716
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 7: This is going to happen almost immediately. The United States

717
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 7: is leading the world in AI.

718
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 4: By a lot. We're leading China, We're leading everybody by

719
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 4: a lot. Without this. You wouldn't even I don't think

720
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 4: you could build, Brad. You couldn't build a plant.

721
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 7: Right without this, I don't think you could. You know,

722
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 7: you'd have to rely on the grid and you wouldn't

723
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 7: be able to do that. So the United States is

724
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 7: leading by a lot, We're leading everybody. And it's not

725
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 7: only you know, other countries are very much into it.

726
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 4: They all want it.

727
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,720
Speaker 7: But we're going to be dominant in this this field,

728
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 7: which is.

729
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 4: Very important in crypto. We want to be dominant.

730
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 7: We want to be dominant in everything we do, and

731
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,439
Speaker 7: this agreement will ensure that America can maintain the most

732
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 7: advanced AI infrastructure on the planet without American families being

733
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 7: forced to pick up the tab. And that's why the

734
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 7: early ones, they they hook up to the electric utilities

735
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 7: and they can't produce the kind of numbers electric wise

736
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 7: that they want, and they end up raising the rates.

737
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 7: It's not going to happen anymore. And now it's going

738
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 7: to go the opposite way. They'll make a lot of

739
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 7: money and electric grades. We actually think they're not going

740
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 7: to say, I think they're going to actually, Chris, They're

741
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,720
Speaker 7: going to actually come down electric So your electric bills

742
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 7: will actually come down.

743
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 4: It will take a little while, but not long.

744
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 7: So this new strategy, never tried before in any country,

745
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 7: will pave the way for continued American dominance and energy

746
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 7: and technology working together.

747
00:39:59,160 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 4: So you're going to have.

748
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 7: Great energy sources because you're gonna build them yourself, and

749
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 7: if they're not good, you'll make them a little bit

750
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 7: bigger and better. Right, But again, a lot of people,

751
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 7: it took me six months to convince people that I

752
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 7: was serious about this. And we have a very big

753
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 7: key to what we're doing is Lee Zelden. He's in

754
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 7: charge of the Environmental Department and Energy.

755
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 4: And the job he's.

756
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 7: Done is incredible, getting you fast approvals. So some of

757
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 7: the plants are starting and they're coming in. I say,

758
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 7: lee two weeks for natural gas. Don't worry about wind.

759
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 4: Forget it.

760
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 7: It's worthless. You don't get approvals for wind. We don't

761
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 7: do wind in this because it's a loser.

762
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 4: Except for China.

763
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 7: They make all the windmills, you know, China makes all

764
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 7: the windmills. The only problem is they don't have wind farms.

765
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 7: You have a thing, somebody's gonna have to look at that.

766
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 7: How many wind farms have you seen lately in China?

767
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 7: They make the windmills, they sell them to the suckers

768
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 7: over in Europe. Europe is buying them by the thousands

769
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 7: and all them for three years. This is not going

770
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 7: to work out well.

771
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 4: And now they're saying I was right, but we are.

772
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 7: I say natural gas, clean, beautiful call. You know, we

773
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 7: don't ever say in the Trump administration, you're not allowed

774
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,879
Speaker 7: to use the word call unless you proceed it by

775
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 7: saying clean, beautiful. And Chris made a beautiful speech about

776
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 7: three weeks ago. And he took me very very seriously,

777
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 7: and every time he told it was about coal, and

778
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 7: every time he mentioned call it say clean, beautiful, call clean, beautiful,

779
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 7: call clean. I said, Chris Easy, sort of sort of

780
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 7: sept in the speech a little bit.

781
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: It was.

782
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 7: It was a little much, but we got the point

783
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 7: of cuss the call is clean and beautiful. Well, look,

784
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 7: it's so many of the nations that are working are

785
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 7: using coal, and you can do things with call today

786
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 7: that are incredible in terms of the environment.

787
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 4: And in terms of cleanliness.

788
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 7: But I said two weeks for oil and gas coal

789
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 7: and for nuclear power plant, maybe take two or three weeks.

790
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 4: He can take air on an extra week.

791
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 7: But Lee's Eldon has done an amazing job in getting

792
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 7: you all at the permits that you need, because normally

793
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,320
Speaker 7: there would take many, many years, and they're already building

794
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 7: the plants are being built all over the country and

795
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 7: they are incredible. So with that, I'll introduce Chris Wright, who's.

796
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 4: We were lucky to get him.

797
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 7: Doug Burgram convinced me he was the best guy I

798
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 7: wanted Doug Bergham for his position, and because I'm very

799
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 7: impressed with Doug. He's doing a fantastic job. He said,

800
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 7: there's somebody that's better than me on energy, I said,

801
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 7: a guy named Chris Wright. He said, biggest in the industry.

802
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,399
Speaker 7: He's the smartest, he's the best. I say, really, he's

803
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 7: better than you. And Doug has a very big ego

804
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,240
Speaker 7: so him. For him to say that was not easy.

805
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 7: But I met Chris and it was sort of love

806
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 7: at first sight. He has done some job, and so

807
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 7: is Doug. We put Doug. We gave him interior where

808
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 7: they have all the oil, and we gave him where

809
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 7: they take it right. So we sort of did a

810
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 7: friendly merger without going through Congress, because if we went

811
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 7: through Congress, it would never get done unless the speaker

812
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 7: wanted to get it done, in which case would be

813
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 7: all right.

814
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 4: So Chris, you could say a few words first you bet.

815
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 12: First of all, thank you all for being here today.

816
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 12: The reason we're here and the things that are going

817
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 12: to happen are because of the people in this room.

818
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 12: I want to thank you, mister President, for your leadership.

819
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 12: Very early on, I mean first week, I'm in my

820
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 12: new job. I haven't had a boss in forty years,

821
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 12: and I'm in the Oval office adjusting to this, and

822
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 12: the President says to me two things very clearly. He

823
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 12: says Number one, we have to lead an AI. We

824
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 12: have to lead this is a transformative technology. America must

825
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 12: lead an AI and the old energy policies that were

826
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 12: going on would.

827
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 11: Not lead an AI. We need to lead an AI.

828
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 12: Number two, the government's of bureaucracy. It's always in the

829
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 12: way of things. It's been in the way of AI.

830
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 12: We've got to run the government like a business. The

831
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 12: business is who want to invest are our partners, and

832
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 12: get them here right away.

833
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 11: And we've got to work with those partners.

834
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 12: And boy, we have seven incredible leaders in the room today.

835
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 11: We're going to win an AI and.

836
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 12: We're going to stop the rise at electricity prices because

837
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 12: of the.

838
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 11: Seven leaders that are sitting around.

839
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 12: This table and President said, you're going to work with.

840
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 11: Them like business leaders.

841
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 12: Ultimately, this is not a negotiation where one side wins

842
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 12: and one side loses.

843
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 11: We have the same interests. The interest of the.

844
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 12: Businesses is to be embraced by the community so they

845
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 12: can build and develop data centers in their communities. Those

846
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,439
Speaker 12: data centers that are developed there are going to bring

847
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 12: jobs and opportunities for people. They're going to have us

848
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 12: lead in artificial intelligence critical for our economy critical for

849
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 12: our national defense and critical for our security. The nation

850
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 12: that leads in AI will be the military superpower that

851
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 12: has been and must remain the United States of America.

852
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 12: But this is a pivot, and this is a transformation,

853
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,439
Speaker 12: and it's the bold leadership of the President and the

854
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 12: bold long term vision of the business leaders that I

855
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 12: am very proud to call partners and friends around this

856
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 12: table and have invested that money, that have developed those technologies,

857
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 12: that are willing to invest those dollars and are also willing.

858
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 11: To fix the biggest problem.

859
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 12: We had thirty percent electricity price rises during the Biden administration,

860
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 12: and we shrunk our amount of available dispatchable electricity.

861
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 11: That is a train wreck waiting to happen.

862
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 12: And the President recognized from the start we have to

863
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 12: lead an AI and we have to stop electricity price rise.

864
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 11: And those are not in contradiction.

865
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 12: These companies are smart, they're powerful, the strong, they can

866
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 12: build power, partner with them, and that's exactly all of

867
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 12: them embraced it. All of them have spent money to

868
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 12: these noble causes. And as we heard, a number of

869
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 12: states that have partnered with the people on this table

870
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 12: have announced multi year rate Freezes. Indiana is the leader

871
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 12: now in the first one filing for a rate reduction.

872
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 12: But it is the partnership of these companies and a

873
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 12: business focused on government, focused on the American people, that

874
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 12: is the transformation.

875
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 11: But I could not be more proud to be here.

876
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 12: I've got to thank also our FURK commissioners that are here.

877
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 11: FIRK is a noble.

878
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 12: Regulatory agency that just got bureaucratic and lived in a

879
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 12: different time at a different age.

880
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 11: We need to make things happen faster.

881
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 4: They stand up.

882
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 11: Yes, can all the FIRK commissioners stand up?

883
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 7: Because you know they're the most powerful people in the country.

884
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay. I have had more people said you know FERK.

885
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 4: I said, do I know FERK? What about FERK?

886
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 7: And I learned so much about you and you are

887
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 7: the most powerful people in the country.

888
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 4: So we want to be very nice to you.

889
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 7: Please get us approvals, Please get us those approvals.

890
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 4: Okay, thank you all very much.

891
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 7: Thank you.

892
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 12: The FIRK team has worked hard, smartly and practically to

893
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 12: enable the re that's going to happen America, leading an

894
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 12: AI and stopping the price rises. Thank you all so much.

895
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 12: And Boyd, one of the other things I'm crazy lucky

896
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 12: about is to work as a partner with a guy

897
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 12: who has the hardest job in the world and does

898
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 12: it with a smile, does it with charm, and does

899
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 12: it with grace.

900
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:21,760
Speaker 13: Speaker Mike Johnson, well, thanks so much, Miss Secretary.

901
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 11: Thanks to you all.

902
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 13: It's your great honor to be here with the leaders

903
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 13: of tech and industry, the first commissioners, they are so

904
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 13: very important, and all these folks so help all this happen. Look,

905
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 13: only President Trump has the gravitized to be able to

906
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 13: assemble the leaders of all these great companies in one

907
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 13: room and also to conceive of an idea like the

908
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 13: rate Payer Protection Pledge. This is an idea whose time

909
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:43,839
Speaker 13: has come. I think it's going to be so well

910
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 13: received around the country because, let's be honest about it,

911
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 13: there are concerns that people have had. There's a lot

912
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 13: of misinformation out there at mister Secretary about the rise

913
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 13: and energy demand and what that's going to mean for

914
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 13: our community.

915
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 4: So it is so meaningful to.

916
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 13: Have leaders, the titans to come in and say, everybody

917
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 13: be called, this is going to be great. It's actually

918
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 13: going to be better going forward. Not only is America

919
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 13: going to stay on top and lead and be the

920
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 13: strong superpower that we are. We're going to continue to

921
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 13: lead on AI. We're going to continue to make the

922
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 13: communities better. I'm in the state of Louisiana. A lot

923
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 13: of this is happening in Louisiana, mister President, is not

924
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 13: just a bunch of beautiful pipes. It's also data centers,

925
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,479
Speaker 13: and Matt is doing a big one, and of course

926
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 13: Amazon's working in Louisiana and Stack and so many of

927
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 13: the other companies, and our communities are so grateful to

928
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 13: have that investment and also grateful because they're coming in

929
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 13: as great corporate partners, community partners, and they're acting responsibly.

930
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 13: They're helping to build out the energy grid, and they're

931
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 13: making life better, not just with good paying jobs, they're

932
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,240
Speaker 13: actually making life better in these communities and in our states,

933
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 13: and so we're so grateful for that. I like what

934
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,439
Speaker 13: you said a moment ago. This is a win win

935
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 13: win across the board. You have everybody who's come to

936
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 13: the table in good faith, under the leadership of this

937
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 13: extraordinary president to make this happen for the country. It's

938
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 13: at the PERI trust is not given by communities and

939
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 13: local stakeholders. It's built over time, and I think this

940
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,720
Speaker 13: pledge is a huge part of building that important foundation

941
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 13: for the future. America is back, mister President. I'm so

942
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 13: excited about that. It's excited to be a part of this.

943
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 13: Thanks so much for letting us be it.

944
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we'll go with John. Is that all right?

945
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 4: John howsaid, thank.

946
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 8: You, mister President. In places like Ohio, this is a.

947
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 11: Very, very big deal.

948
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 8: I know that you know well that if we want

949
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 8: to have economic dominance and national security dominance, we need

950
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 8: to have technological dominance, and AI and data centers are

951
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 8: a big piece of that. And I know that the

952
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 8: American people.

953
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 4: Want to win.

954
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 8: They want to win this just like you do. We

955
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 8: want to be superior to our challengers like China. We

956
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 8: want to have AI dominance because that helps give our

957
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 8: military are manufacturing. Everybody across the country needs AI dominance.

958
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 8: Of America wants to win. And I know you're you're

959
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,800
Speaker 8: the leader of the America First agenda. You want America

960
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 8: to win. But so do the people in places like Ohio.

961
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 8: But they're concerned about energy prices, right, They know that

962
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 8: they like those folks out there, the construction trades that

963
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 8: build these the plumbers, pipe fitters, HVAC electricians, the people

964
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 8: that build the power plants, the laborers, the boiler makers

965
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 8: like these are working people in places like Ohio that

966
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 8: do amazing work to build the data centers, to build

967
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 8: the power plants. But people just are worried about their

968
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:39,280
Speaker 8: their energy prices. And what you're offering today with the

969
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 8: round this around table, with the rate payer Protection pledge,

970
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:46,280
Speaker 8: mister President, is great leadership because this solves the problem

971
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:50,240
Speaker 8: the people were worried about, and as the data centers

972
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:54,399
Speaker 8: build new power plants, it leads to energy stability, affordable,

973
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 8: reliable electricity for American rate payers, helping them win the

974
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 8: affordability battle that you're leading on. Behalf of this great

975
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 8: team that you've assembled, and I just want to say

976
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 8: thank you for your leadership on this.

977
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,399
Speaker 7: Thank you very much, John, and I hear you doing

978
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 7: very well in your race. He's running for a very

979
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 7: important seat in a great state that I like a lot.

980
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 7: It's always been good to me and it's going to

981
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 7: be good to you, and it has been good to you.

982
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 4: So good luck. With a thank you, mister President, to

983
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 4: do Michael, please thank you so much.

984
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,280
Speaker 3: Mister President, you have been talking about this issue beginning

985
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 3: as early as the campaign. In July when we released

986
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 3: a I action Plan, this was a focal point of

987
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 3: the speech you gave, talked about it again at the

988
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 3: State of the Union. So it is a culmination of

989
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,760
Speaker 3: this idea that you've been working on for quite some time.

990
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,720
Speaker 3: And the key to all of this is that American

991
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 3: A leadership should never come at the cost of hard

992
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 3: working Americans ability to pay their electricity bills and frontier

993
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 3: AI that all of these great companies work on every day,

994
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 3: along with the data centers that underlie them, are going

995
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 3: to accelerate scientific discovery, They're going to unlock economic efficiencies.

996
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 3: They're going to enable entire new industries to support the

997
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 3: prosperity of all Americans and to continue to lead an AI.

998
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 3: These great companies need to make new data centers. We

999
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 3: need new fabrication capacity, we need new manufacturing facilities, and

1000
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 3: we need new power plants to be able to do

1001
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 3: all this great work. And today, through this pledge, we

1002
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 3: are challenging all these companies to think bigger when it

1003
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 3: comes to data center construction by identifying ways that we

1004
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 3: can drive down the overall electricity cost, ultimately strengthen grid resilience,

1005
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 3: and to create more American jobs in the communities that

1006
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 3: choose to build all of these data centers. By signing

1007
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 3: this pledge, all these companies here are making themselves accountable

1008
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 3: to you, mister President, and to the American people as

1009
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 3: they strengthen their commitment to benefiting the communities in which

1010
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:50,839
Speaker 3: they build and they operate. We as an administration are

1011
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 3: using every tool at our disposal to ensure that the

1012
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 3: US can build and maintain the largest, most powerful, and

1013
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:02,760
Speaker 3: most advanced a structure anywhere on the planet. And today

1014
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 3: we recognize that building the future requires massive amounts of

1015
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,840
Speaker 3: reliable energy. And I'm grateful to you, mister President, for

1016
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 3: acting so decisively to ensure that the growing demands of

1017
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 3: energy that we have are never passed to the American households.

1018
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you very much.

1019
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 14: Dinna, Thank you, mister President. It's such an honor to

1020
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 14: be with you today. I also want to thank your

1021
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 14: outstanding team for partnering with us. You know, it's been

1022
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:35,840
Speaker 14: remarkable to watch this transformational moment and you positioning America

1023
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 14: to lead. Our country has had very big transformational movements before,

1024
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 14: whether it was coming together World War two or the

1025
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:47,800
Speaker 14: Industrial Revolution. But this is different. The next three years

1026
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 14: in many ways, sir, are the whole game, and those

1027
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:53,879
Speaker 14: three years while you are president, you have positioned us

1028
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:57,280
Speaker 14: to win. You have not only made sure that energy

1029
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 14: dominance is a key to how we will succeed in

1030
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,760
Speaker 14: the compute needs we need, but you've also done something

1031
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,359
Speaker 14: very important. You've made us all know that it's not

1032
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,720
Speaker 14: about the products, it's about the people. And at META,

1033
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 14: we are so proud of the jobs that we are creating,

1034
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 14: whether it is in Louisiana or in Ohio. So proud

1035
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 14: that it's not just extraordinary engineers. It is pipefitters, it

1036
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 14: is welders, it is electricians. And I'm particularly proud today

1037
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 14: to announce that, partnering with Senator Moreno and Senator Houstead,

1038
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 14: we have launched a pilot in Ohio to train fiber technicians,

1039
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:38,439
Speaker 14: some who are in this audience actually today a very

1040
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 14: important skill set needed to build data centers. This four

1041
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 14: week program is a new curriculum. When you graduate, you

1042
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 14: have a license to be a fiber technician and a

1043
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 14: guaranteed job with Meta. We are also extremely proud to

1044
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 14: sign the ratepayer pledge today also in Louisiana. As the

1045
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 14: speaker just said, we have been able to lower the

1046
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 14: costs of so many Louisiana payers energy payers and estimated

1047
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:11,879
Speaker 14: six hundred and fifty million dollars over fifteen years. So

1048
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 14: we are proud to say today that we want to

1049
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 14: fully cover the cost of the energy that we use

1050
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:21,439
Speaker 14: in our data centers, create jobs and opportunity. But more

1051
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:24,759
Speaker 14: than anything, sir, we are really proud that we're going

1052
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 14: to look back and have had the privilege to work

1053
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 14: with you and know that America won at such a

1054
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 14: critical time and that we did it really working with

1055
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 14: the American worker and so many others. So thank you, sir.

1056
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 14: Proud to be here with you, so nice.

1057
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 4: Thank you very much.

1058
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 7: Jack.

1059
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 14: I also want to say, sir, I forgot to say it.

1060
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 14: You know, it was ten years ago, way before we

1061
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 14: were talking about AI that you said there is honor

1062
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 14: and dignity in plumbers and in work force skills training,

1063
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:55,319
Speaker 14: and you asked Ivanka, as you know.

1064
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 11: To share that.

1065
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 14: Ten years later, we could not have imagined how much

1066
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 14: we needed all of those jobs and those programs, and

1067
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,799
Speaker 14: you marshaled the entire government to do it. That is

1068
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 14: having an impact in cities across the country. So thank

1069
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 14: you very much much, Thank you, Sir Ruthfullus.

1070
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:17,319
Speaker 15: Thank you, mister President. Google is grateful for all that

1071
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 15: you and your administration are doing to secure America's continued

1072
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 15: leadership in AI. And to your point, it must be

1073
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 15: powered by abundant and affordable energy if it is to

1074
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:34,800
Speaker 15: benefit all Americans. I'm pleased to be here to underscore

1075
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 15: Google's support.

1076
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 4: For the rate payer Protection Pledge.

1077
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 15: We're committed to assist in all of your work to

1078
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 15: support American households American businesses in this exceptional era of innovation.

1079
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 15: So four brief points how we will deliver on this

1080
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:53,399
Speaker 15: for Americans. First, adding to energy capacity, consistent with your

1081
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 15: call to build, bring, or buy energy, we will meaningfully

1082
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 15: invest across America to bring new energy online, as you

1083
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 15: have stressed so frequently, to deliver the self sufficiency that

1084
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 15: is core to this pledge. In Texas alone, we are

1085
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 15: adding we have contracted to add more than seventy eight

1086
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 15: hundred megawatts of net new energy generation and capacity to

1087
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,240
