Bannon's War Room - Episode 4654： Trump AI Summit Live

00:00:00.000 We'll talk it through.

00:00:00.840 You've got to go and do a two-hour special.

00:00:02.960 We'll do it.

00:00:03.260 Or longer.

00:00:04.000 We'll do it.

00:00:04.520 This is the news cycle now, and the Wall Street Journal is a big part of it,

00:00:08.180 and Rupert Murdoch is one of the key participants now.

00:00:10.820 So we've got it, and you two guys know the reality.

00:00:13.360 Yes, sir.

00:00:13.860 Yes, sir.

00:00:14.180 Have a good show, Steve.

00:00:16.660 Bowling, am I now like your agent?

00:00:18.300 Is this what I've deteriorated to?

00:00:19.500 I'm now Bowling's agent, you know, with Bowling, you know, getting specials.

00:00:23.060 Will you take 10%?

00:00:25.340 10% not in eight.

00:00:26.580 No, I got news.

00:00:27.800 Negotiating with SIG?

00:00:31.560 Okay, brother, thank you.

00:00:33.040 Fantastic interview, though.

00:00:34.240 If you haven't seen the clip, and I've got it up on Getter,

00:00:38.300 but if you haven't seen it, it's amazing, and he's got 17 minutes of that.

00:00:42.620 He's going to put it up.

00:00:43.660 Really spectacular.

00:00:45.900 We've got a cold open.

00:00:47.040 Okay, we're going to have to cut away.

00:00:48.540 So here's what we're going to do tonight.

00:00:49.760 We've got the Artificial Intelligence Summit.

00:00:52.580 President Trump is going to be there momentarily to give a speech

00:00:55.500 and also reveal, I think, three executive orders, talk about the AI action plan.

00:01:01.180 Brother Allen is going to ride shotgun with me on this.

00:01:04.560 However, massive breaking news on the taking down the deep state, Epstein, all of it.

00:01:10.300 We've got an 11-minute or 9-minute cold open.

00:01:12.960 Let's go ahead and let it rip, and then I'll jump in here at the end.

00:01:15.620 Over the past few days, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has unveiled shocking new evidence

00:01:21.520 that former President Barack Obama and top aides in the Obama administration

00:01:26.040 conspired to subvert President Trump's 2016 election victory

00:01:31.520 and undermine the democratic will of the American people.

00:01:35.140 While publicly pretending to engage in a peaceful transfer of power,

00:01:39.980 in private, former President Obama went to great and nefarious lengths

00:01:44.180 to try to sow discord among the public and sabotage his successor, President Trump.

00:01:50.420 The new evidence released by the Director of National Intelligence, who is here with me today,

00:01:55.100 confirms that the Obama administration manufactured politicized intelligence,

00:01:59.140 which was later used as the justification for baseless smears against President Trump

00:02:05.060 in an effort to try to delegitimize his victory before he even took the oath of office.

00:02:11.400 The truth is that President Trump never had anything to do with Russia,

00:02:15.820 and the Russia collusion hoax was a massive fraud perpetuated on the American people from the very beginning.

00:02:22.900 And the worst part of this is Obama knew that truth,

00:02:25.880 and so did all of the other corrupt officials involved in this scam,

00:02:29.980 including former CIA Director John Brennan,

00:02:32.740 former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper,

00:02:35.840 former FBI Director James Comey,

00:02:38.280 former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and many others.

00:02:41.940 Director of National Intelligence Gavrage Report further confirms what we already knew.

00:02:46.620 There was no collusion, no corruption,

00:02:49.300 except on the part of Barack Obama and the weaponized intelligence agencies at the time.

00:02:54.180 The Russia hoax was a blatant lie, 0.71

00:02:56.960 all ginned up by Democrat political operatives that were signed off on by then-President Obama

00:03:02.440 and leaked to the news media to launch a years-long witch hunt against President Trump

00:03:07.800 and his first administration.

00:03:10.120 Allies of the president, including his own son, Donald Trump Jr.,

00:03:14.080 were disgustingly smeared as Russian assets,

00:03:17.260 and some even had their lives destroyed because of this vicious lie.

00:03:21.080 President Trump's direction and with the support and coordination

00:03:24.580 with the House Intelligence Committee chairman, Rick Crawford,

00:03:28.260 today we've released a declassified oversight majority staff report

00:03:32.300 that was produced in September of 2020.

00:03:37.080 The stunning revelations that we are releasing today

00:03:40.340 should be of concern to every American.

00:03:42.520 This is not about Democrats or Republicans.

00:03:44.440 This has to do with the integrity of our Democratic Republic

00:03:47.860 and American voters having faith that the votes cast will count.

00:03:52.860 There is irrefutable evidence that detail

00:03:55.340 how President Obama and his national security team

00:03:58.500 directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment

00:04:01.920 that they knew was false.

00:04:04.860 They knew it would promote this contrived narrative

00:04:07.760 that Russia interfered in the 2016 election

00:04:10.440 to help President Trump win,

00:04:12.680 selling it to the American people as though it were true.

00:04:15.560 It wasn't.

00:04:17.380 The report that we released today shows in great detail

00:04:20.020 how they carried this out.

00:04:22.620 They manufactured findings from shoddy sources.

00:04:25.760 They suppressed evidence and credible intelligence

00:04:28.200 that disproved their false claims.

00:04:31.860 They disobeyed traditional tradecraft intelligence community standards

00:04:36.300 and withheld the truth from the American people.

00:04:39.900 In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of the American people

00:04:43.800 who elected Donald Trump in that election in November of 2016.

00:04:48.080 They worked with their partners in the media to promote this lie,

00:04:51.720 ultimately to undermine the legitimacy of President Trump

00:04:54.500 and launching what would be a years-long coup against him

00:04:58.520 and his administration.

00:05:00.440 We're here today because the American people deserve the truth,

00:05:04.420 they deserve accountability, and they deserve justice.

00:05:07.180 The report goes into great detail about the information that Russia and Putin had

00:05:12.100 on Hillary Clinton, which included possible criminal acts 0.80

00:05:15.420 like secret meetings with multiple named U.S. religious organizations

00:05:20.160 in which State Department officials offered,

00:05:23.720 in exchange for supporting Secretary Clinton's campaign for the presidency,

00:05:27.920 significant increases in financing from the State Department.

00:05:31.000 They also had documents that showed the patronage of the State Department

00:05:36.660 to State Department employees who would go and support

00:05:40.060 Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

00:05:42.980 There were high-level DNC emails that detailed evidence

00:05:46.040 of Hillary's, quote, psycho-emotional problems, 0.98

00:05:49.500 uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness,

00:05:53.400 and that then-Secretary Clinton was allegedly

00:05:55.980 on a daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers.

00:05:58.440 Then-CIA Director Brennan and the intelligence community

00:06:02.800 mischaracterized intelligence and relied on dubious substandard sources

00:06:06.700 to create a contrived false narrative that Putin developed

00:06:09.900 a, quote-unquote, clear preference for Trump.

00:06:12.540 The implications of this are far-reaching

00:06:15.380 and have to do with the integrity of our democratic republic.

00:06:19.480 It has to do with an outgoing president taking action

00:06:23.200 to manufacture intelligence,

00:06:25.200 to undermine and usurp the will of the American people,

00:06:28.440 in that election,

00:06:29.920 and launch what would be a years-long coup

00:06:32.340 against the incoming President of the United States, Donald Trump.

00:06:35.420 First, on Secretary Rubio,

00:06:37.120 he put out a statement in 2020 following that Senate Intelligence Committee report,

00:06:42.120 and he said what they found is troubling.

00:06:43.920 We found irrefutable evidence of Russia meddling,

00:06:46.020 which the Director of National Intelligence just confirmed for all of you

00:06:49.000 that Russia was trying to sow distrust and chaos.

00:06:51.760 But what's the outrage in this that Secretary Rubio did not say at the time the Democrats were saying at the time

00:06:57.540 is the fact that the intelligence community was concocting this narrative

00:07:00.840 that the president colluded with the Russians,

00:07:03.640 that the president's son was holding secret meetings with the Russians,

00:07:06.900 all of these lies that were never true.

00:07:09.780 And he also said at that time,

00:07:11.560 we discovered deeply troubling actions taken by the FBI under Comey,

00:07:15.820 particularly their acceptance and willingness to rely on the Steele dossier

00:07:19.480 without verifying its methodology or sourcing.

00:07:22.540 The Steele dossier that many outlets in this room ran as the gospel truth,

00:07:26.780 and it was cooked up and paid for by the Clinton campaign.

00:07:29.480 As for your second question, Caitlin,

00:07:31.380 I think who is saying that,

00:07:33.080 that she would release this to try to boost her standing with the president?

00:07:36.020 Who has said that?

00:07:36.840 Well, the president has publicly undermined her when it came to Iran.

00:07:40.040 He said she was wrong.

00:07:41.080 He told me that she didn't know what she was talking about.

00:07:43.080 That was on Air Force One on camera.

00:07:45.140 The only people who are suggesting that the director of national intelligence

00:07:48.180 would release evidence to try to boost her standing with the president

00:07:50.940 are the people in this room who constantly try to sow distrust

00:07:54.500 and chaos amongst the president's cabinet.

00:07:56.540 And it is not working.

00:07:58.300 I will just answer your question directly.

00:08:02.140 I am with the president of the United States every day.

00:08:04.340 He has the utmost confidence in Director Gabbard.

00:08:07.100 He always has.

00:08:08.220 He continues to.

00:08:09.420 And that is true of his entire cabinet,

00:08:11.260 who is all working as one team to deliver on the promises this president made.

00:08:15.280 They're laughing at us.

00:08:16.600 The only way we do this is to tell them nothing else happens until we take this on.

00:08:22.920 If we don't take down the deep state in this term, it's over.

00:08:26.860 This is America's last chance.

00:08:28.660 The expressed intent and what followed afterward can only be described as a years-long coup

00:08:35.120 and a treasonous conspiracy against the American people, our republic,

00:08:39.160 and an attempt to undermine President Trump's administration.

00:08:42.120 I think this is a huge stress test for Trump and his coalition, which, you know, it's not all of MAGA,

00:08:48.420 but it is Stuart Rhodes.

00:08:49.940 It is Stephen Bannon.

00:08:51.020 It is Michael Flynn.

00:08:51.940 It is a certain significant portion of his base that is animated by this notion that the deep state

00:08:59.140 and the dismantling of the deep state are job number one for Donald Trump.

00:09:03.200 It's bigger than any tariff war or any social safety net program or even maybe immigration.

00:09:09.100 For them, this is the animating sort of factor in their support for Trump.

00:09:13.720 And it's why Stuart Rhodes said Donald Trump's life was spared during the assassination attempts.

00:09:18.300 He was here to dismantle this elite cabal and open back up our democracy, right?

00:09:24.380 I'm paraphrasing.

00:09:25.460 Number one, it's very simple.

00:09:27.840 The deep state must be destroyed to free the American people.

00:09:33.320 Is there any question about that?

00:09:35.760 Is there any question about that?

00:09:38.740 We have to destroy the deep state.

00:09:40.720 And this is elements of the Pentagon, the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA,

00:09:45.320 certain elements that work under DNI, those 17 intelligence agencies,

00:09:49.320 also parts of the State Department, the USAIDs of the world.

00:09:52.560 That inner apparatus, inner apparatus controls the government.

00:09:57.480 And when President Trump tries to do something, they're always trying to thwart his actions, right?

00:10:02.920 You see the leaks.

00:10:04.400 When Holman's sending these brave men and women into Los Angeles to do these raids,

00:10:08.700 like the raid about the children traffic to the marijuana farm to work,

00:10:13.480 they're waiting, they're lying in wait for him.

00:10:16.100 They're lying in wait for the agents. 0.87

00:10:17.620 They've got weapons to shoot. 0.75

00:10:18.840 How does the protesters?

00:10:20.180 Because somebody inside leaked it to them.

00:10:23.340 Somebody inside leaks it to the media.

00:10:25.500 That's the deep state every day.

00:10:27.500 It must be destroyed.

00:10:30.440 We're not free.

00:10:31.560 This is their cause, the deep state.

00:10:37.500 And Steve Bannon said, look, it's not that he's going to lose.

00:10:41.160 It's not that Trump could lose his entire coalition in the course of this Epstein saga.

00:10:45.060 It's just that he could lose 10 to 15 percent.

00:10:47.760 And that's enough to lose the House.

00:10:49.100 And that's enough to lose Congress in 2026 and the presidency in 2028.

00:10:53.320 And I think that's real math.

00:10:56.880 Wednesday, 23 July, year of Lord 2025.

00:10:59.320 Another historic day in the briefing room.

00:11:02.620 And this is so smart because they're forced to sit there and cover it.

00:11:06.800 Caitlin Collins and all those smug people are forced to sit there and hear Tulsi Gabbard. 1.00

00:11:13.060 And that was a command performance today.

00:11:15.940 Her performance has up to now been amazing.

00:11:17.800 President Trump, you heard last night we played on the morning show about talking to the members of Congress.

00:11:22.380 It was a command performance.

00:11:24.280 And she's got command presence. 1.00

00:11:26.120 She's unflappable.

00:11:27.280 And she's just giving you fact after fact after fact.

00:11:32.000 And to call it a coup from the White House press briefing room.

00:11:36.980 Now we've had it from the Oval Office, from the president and the director of DNI.

00:11:40.900 A treasonous conspiracy.

00:11:42.940 And using and calling out Obama by name.

00:11:45.800 Calling out Brennan by name.

00:11:47.560 Calling out Comey by name.

00:11:49.120 The stakes don't get any higher, folks.

00:11:52.300 I hope you understand that this is in Obama denying it, command denying it.

00:11:56.640 And all that you should see the meltdown on MSNBC.

00:12:01.040 All afternoon with Weissman, these folks.

00:12:04.000 In the Wall Street Journal, in the Murdochs, as I have warned for years.

00:12:10.240 These folks are true enemies of this movement, true enemies of MAGA, true enemies of the United States, and particularly true enemies of President Trump.

00:12:19.260 The other day, the half-baked story where they dropped it because Tulsi was releasing the first information on Friday.

00:12:27.320 To bigfoot the story with the fake news, phony poem and the phony drawing that they've never shown anybody.

00:12:36.900 Today, Tulsi comes for a command performance and Caroline Leavitt.

00:12:40.340 Caroline Leavitt looked them right in the eye and said, hey, you guys are good.

00:12:44.120 You're paying people that are named in these documents that are guilty of a treasonous conspiracy, right, in a coup against a sitting president.

00:12:54.260 And you're paying them as commentators for the last years and just sit there for six or seven years and hammer every day their lies and misrepresentations as she's showing.

00:13:03.920 And what does the Wall Street Journal do?

00:13:06.160 Immediately after that, they drop another story about President Trump.

00:13:09.580 Oh, President Trump, you know, he's got this with Epstein.

00:13:12.520 And President Trump and Caroline come out right away and say fake news.

00:13:17.240 The Wall Street Journal is the enemy.

00:13:19.660 They're coming after Trump with half-baked fake news, and they're trying to do it every day to Bigfoot. 0.51

00:13:26.540 But Tulsi Gabbard's coming out with fact.

00:13:30.480 Okay, we're going to take a short break and listen.

00:13:32.520 If the president steps on stage at the Artificial Intelligence Summit, we're going to cut immediately to that and not take any commercial breaks until it's finished.

00:13:41.860 Joe Allen's my wingman.

00:13:43.260 Three executive orders to be signed today.

00:13:45.040 The AI action plan to be going through another, it's historic just on that because of the, how important artificial intelligence and how this audience is totally focused on it.

00:13:56.040 Ian Trottier with the new book on John Brennan, an expert in that's with us.

00:14:00.480 Colonel Derek Harvey, the guy that knows it all, was there in both the White House and over at the House Intelligence Committee is also with us.

00:14:07.840 We're going to take a short commercial break.

00:14:08.900 I want to thank Birch Gold for sponsoring this.

00:14:11.840 Take your phone out.

00:14:12.840 Text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N at 989898.

00:14:17.340 You get the ultimate guide, which happens to be not just ultimate, but free.

00:14:21.540 How about that?

00:14:22.080 The free ultimate guide to investing in gold and precious metals in the age of Trump.

00:14:27.300 There's a typo in this.

00:14:28.420 It says error.

00:14:29.160 We ain't an error anymore.

00:14:30.040 We're an age.

00:14:30.820 You had the age of Jackson.

00:14:32.840 You get the age of Trump.

00:14:34.120 That's what we got.

00:14:36.560 Do it today.

00:14:37.340 And they talk about IROAs for when kids, more importantly, get a relationship with Philip Patrick and his team at Birch.

00:14:45.880 Do it today.

00:14:47.120 We're on fire this afternoon in the war room.

00:14:49.620 Like I said, we're going to cut to the artificial intelligence summit as soon as President Trump takes the stage.

00:14:54.720 Back in a moment.

00:14:55.600 This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro, the block of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency.

00:15:15.160 They're calling this the Rio reset as BRICS nations push forward with their plans.

00:15:21.300 Global demand for U.S.

00:15:22.380 Dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.

00:15:26.760 While this transition won't not happen overnight.

00:15:30.260 But trust me, it's going to start in Rio.

00:15:32.900 The Rio reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable reality.

00:15:43.720 Learn if diversifying your savings into gold is right for you.

00:16:21.820 That's the Rio reset.

00:16:23.680 Text Bannon at 989898 and do it today.

00:16:27.560 You've heard me talk about Patriot Mobile for a while now.

00:16:30.120 You probably know that for years they've stood in the gap for every American who believes in faith, family, and freedom.

00:16:37.480 So here's the question.

00:16:38.580 Have you switched to Patriot Mobile yet?

00:16:40.540 You'll get exceptional nationwide coverage because unlike most cell phone service providers, Patriot Mobile utilizes all three major U.S. networks.

00:16:51.340 Switch today without sacrificing quality or service.

00:16:54.960 They even add two numbers on two networks on one phone.

00:16:59.780 Let me repeat.

00:17:00.400 They can even add two numbers on two networks on one phone.

00:17:05.080 It's like you're carrying two phones in one.

00:17:07.280 They have unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming, internet on-the-go devices, and internet backup.

00:18:45.820 How about that?

00:18:48.020 Colonel, okay.

00:18:48.840 Just here's the ground rules.

00:18:50.300 There's an artificial intelligence summit.

00:18:52.540 The action plan that we've been promised has now been promulgated.

00:18:56.220 Joe Allen's with me riding shotgun.

00:18:58.440 The president is going to take the stage.

00:18:59.780 He's going to give some remarks, also sign a couple of executive orders.

00:19:04.960 We're going to break all that down.

00:19:06.460 Joe Allen's going to join us.

00:19:07.380 As soon as that happens, we're going to cut to the stage immediately.

00:19:09.960 But right now we've got a show going.

00:19:12.240 Colonel Derek Harvey, you've been in the middle of all this and you actually know all the details.

00:19:17.520 In fact, some of this release today was information that you worked on.

00:19:24.300 How powerful is this to have a director of national intelligence in the briefing room of the White House, that beautiful background, it says the White House, right?

00:19:33.320 On global television, because that feed's going everywhere.

00:19:36.260 Sit there and say coup.

00:19:39.600 This was a coup against Trump and it's a treasonous conspiracy, sir.

00:19:46.340 Very powerful, very influential.

00:19:50.420 The powers at Fox, the Senate Intelligence Committee with Mark Warner, the Adam Schiff's, and the media that doesn't want to cover this are going to push back.

00:20:00.620 But we have the momentum on our side because we have the facts and we have the truth and we have courageous leaders like Tulsi and Kash Patel and Bongino and others that are going to help us move this forward.

00:20:14.360 But I want to give credit real quick here to Devin Nunes, who not only started with the unmasking and the collection against the transition team and Trump during the election, but he's the one who asked us to put together a small team to look at this intelligence community assessment.

00:20:35.040 And the report came out in September, but we could not get it released.

00:20:39.080 What, and talk to me about that.

00:20:44.440 What do you mean, why did it have to be released?

00:20:46.080 I think this part of it was released today.

00:20:48.100 Why was it held up for being released?

00:20:50.900 Did Paul Ryan have anything to do with that, the Republican establishment?

00:20:54.200 I mean, it seemed like it was a pretty normal course of business, sir.

00:20:56.720 Well, we were allowed to work on the project at CIA headquarters because of the sensitivity of all of the sourcing and the information that was being provided.

00:21:12.620 We were looking at everything that was available to that small group that Brennan handpicked to write this damaging report, this false report. 0.91

00:21:21.900 And we were looking at the trade crap. 0.95

00:21:24.020 Hey, Derek, Derek, Derek, hang on for one second. 0.98

00:21:27.040 We're going to cut live to the stage.

00:21:28.440 The president's coming out.

00:21:29.120 I'm going to get back to you guys as soon as he's off.

00:21:30.620 Let's go ahead and go live to the Artificial Intelligence Summit.

00:21:33.220 And I'm glad to stand up next to you and if they're cursed today, because there ain't no doubt I love this land.

00:21:45.940 God bless the USA.

00:21:55.860 Thank you very much, everybody.

00:21:57.560 What a great song that is, but we'll cut it a little short because we have some business to discuss.

00:22:06.300 What a group of smart ones we have in front of me today.

00:22:09.980 That's about as good as it comes up here.

00:22:12.620 The brainpower, the greatest power of them all, the brainpower.

00:22:16.920 Well, I'm thrilled to be here with so many tech leaders and luminaires as we take historic action to reassert the future which belongs to America, always has belonged to America.

00:22:30.380 We just lost sight of it on occasion.

00:22:32.120 And I just want to start by stating that we've just concluded our big trade deal with Japan and numerous other countries in addition, as you know.

00:22:46.920 But on the Japan deal, because it was literally just signed letter, it was just signed.

00:22:53.980 It gives us a sort of signing bonus.

00:22:56.780 I'll bring it into sports talk, a signing bonus.

00:22:59.080 Like you have signing bonuses, too.

00:23:00.720 I understand.

00:23:01.240 I get a lot of money, 100 million.

00:23:04.440 That's not bad.

00:23:07.040 But that's not as good as the signing bonus we got.

00:23:11.000 We got a $550 billion signing bonus for the country.

00:23:18.280 And we had the tariff at 25 percent.

00:23:22.640 As you know, we had a tariff at 25 percent.

00:23:24.800 And this was these are great people that we negotiated with.

00:23:29.500 But we agreed to reduce it to 15, based on the fact that Japan has agreed, for the first time ever, to open up its country to trade so that all of our American businesses and business geniuses, including many in this room, can go out and do business openly and freely in Japan.

00:23:49.760 And we're very rich and prosperous and profitable and wonderful country, frankly, and we will pay a zero tariff as we do business in Japan.

00:23:59.440 They're paying zero, they're paying 15, we're getting $550 billion, and to be exact, it's 90 percent of that, but we control the whole lot of it.

00:24:09.120 And it's really been great.

00:24:13.080 And they're very happy.

00:24:14.420 And their stock market went up and our stock market went up.

00:24:17.320 And that's supposed to be the way it is.

00:24:19.140 Ours went way up and theirs went up.

00:24:24.800 And we've made numerous other deals like that.

00:24:28.520 But the opening up of a country is very important to us.

00:24:32.160 We have numerous countries that have opened their doors, just made some incredible transactions.

00:24:41.440 But we're going to have a very, very simple tariff for some of the countries.

00:24:46.060 There's so many countries you can't negotiate deals with everyone.

00:24:48.660 So we'll have a straight, simple tariff of anywhere between 15 and 50 percent.

00:24:54.300 A couple of we have 15 because we haven't been getting along with those countries too well.

00:24:58.460 So we just say, let's pay 50, and that's the way it is.

00:25:03.000 But remember, we get countries that were closed, always closed.

00:25:08.080 Everyone in this room would never remember any of them to be open.

00:25:11.980 We've offered such a deal to the European Union where we're in serious negotiations.

00:25:18.660 And if they agree to open up the Union to American businesses, then we will let them pay a lower tariff.

00:25:25.980 So the tariff is very important.

00:25:29.380 But the opening of a country, I think, can be more important if our businesses do the job that they're supposed to be doing.

00:25:36.420 Such openings are worthy of many points in tariffs.

00:25:40.200 And they're a good thing, not only for, as an example, Japan or Europe, but certainly a great thing for America,

00:25:47.660 because it allows our businesses to go out and fairly compete and do really well if they compete properly.

00:25:55.060 Like the people that I know, everyone in this room practically I know has competed very successfully.

00:26:00.800 I haven't seen any, and I know the losers just like I know the winners.

00:26:06.080 I tell you, I don't see any of the losers here.

00:26:09.540 But now if some of the countries that pay 25% or more on autos complain,

00:26:15.360 remember that Japan was willing to pay up front the $550 billion for that privilege of negotiating with the United States of America.

00:26:24.360 We also made a deal yesterday with the Philippines and Indonesia, which in both cases will be opening up their country.

00:26:32.860 And we're in the process of completing our deal with China.

00:26:37.780 And as you know, the U.K., we made a deal.

00:26:40.360 It's a very good deal for everybody.

00:26:42.880 Everybody's happy.

00:26:44.100 It's always nice when everybody can be happy.

00:26:46.040 But mostly we'll be charging straight tariffs to most of the rest of the world because we have over 200 countries.

00:26:58.060 People don't realize it's a lot of, that's a lot of deals.

00:27:01.260 Even if you're like me, a deal junkie, that's a lot of deals.

00:27:04.920 That would be too much for anybody.

00:27:06.740 Ooh.

00:27:08.280 How did we do with this country that I never heard of?

00:27:10.820 We've got a lot of, we've got a lot of deals cooking.

00:27:16.740 But America is taking in hundreds of billions of dollars like it never has before.

00:27:26.020 Investments into our country at the highest point ever in history.

00:27:29.220 And we've just really been opened up for business for three of the six months.

00:27:34.660 The first couple of months we got ourselves all set, done a great job with our military, as you know.

00:27:42.260 You saw that two weeks ago when you saw the way those incredible B-2s flew into Iran 0.99

00:27:48.040 and took out an entire nuclear potential deadly force.

00:27:55.180 But I want to thank some of the incredible people that they see before me, including White House AI czar David Sachs.

00:28:08.140 He's been great.

00:28:11.720 For organizing this very important summit and especially for putting it in D.C. where it's a little bit easier.

00:28:18.000 I don't know if it's easy for you, but it's a hell of a lot easier for me, along with his colleagues at the All In podcast, which is very good.

00:28:27.000 I did that podcast a year and a half ago, and I said, this is something that was pretty new, pretty raw.

00:28:35.120 Everybody I knew saw that podcast.

00:28:37.020 I said, well, he's got something pretty good.

00:28:38.700 Who is that guy?

00:28:39.380 He's a smart guy, by the way.

00:28:40.580 I think if I ever get in, which at the time people were saying I had a shot, not as good a shot as it turned out.

00:28:47.200 We won in numbers that nobody believes.

00:28:50.160 We won every swing state.

00:28:51.680 We won by millions and millions of votes, winning the popular vote.

00:28:55.780 We won with the districts, as they would call them, 2,750 to 505.

00:29:03.580 And that's why the map is almost completely red, except for a couple of little blue areas on each side of it.

00:29:11.240 But it was a great experience, frankly, for me.

00:29:14.080 And hopefully it's a great experience and been a great experience for our country,

00:29:17.520 because they're saying we had the greatest six months that a president has ever had, the opening six months.

00:29:24.020 And I'm not even sure, maybe six months.

00:29:26.040 I'm not sure it's the opening, but let's call it the opening six months.

00:29:28.980 It sounds a little bit nicer.

00:29:30.960 I want to also say hello and thank to Jermath and his wonderful wife, Nat.

00:29:38.480 Thank you very much for being here.

00:29:40.060 Thank you very much.

00:29:40.920 It was great seeing you again.

00:29:44.360 Great couple.

00:29:46.000 David Friedberg and even, as we know, Jason Calacanis.

00:29:53.340 I say even.

00:29:54.540 Thank you, Jason.

00:29:57.640 Thank you, Jason.

00:29:58.520 I appreciate that.

00:30:00.480 Yeah, he's a good person.

00:30:01.700 Thanks as well to the Hill and Valley Forum and our future Undersecretary of State, Jacob Helleberg.

00:30:09.520 Good place.

00:30:10.320 Good.

00:30:10.460 Stand up, Jason.

00:30:17.760 I met him a year and a half ago, and I was very impressed.

00:30:20.740 I said, let's bring him in.

00:30:21.980 We bring in a lot of smart people.

00:30:24.100 And David's been unbelievable as the job he's doing.

00:30:27.180 And along with Secretaries Doug Burgum, who's been incredible.

00:30:32.960 Doug.

00:30:37.460 Thank you, Doug.

00:30:38.280 Great job.

00:30:39.000 He's producing low-cost energy.

00:30:42.780 We're down to $64.

00:30:44.420 I want to get it down a little bit further if we can.

00:30:46.560 I don't know if the oil companies love that or not.

00:30:48.780 But we want to have very inexpensive electricity so that you can power up the plants.

00:30:54.760 Because you need more electricity than any human beings ever in the history of the world.

00:31:00.040 When I heard what you really need, I said, you've got to be kidding.

00:31:02.980 Double what we produce right now for everything, right?

00:31:06.120 I don't know.

00:31:06.780 You're going to...

00:31:07.760 Jensen, you're going to have to explain that to me someday.

00:31:10.720 Why they need so damn much?

00:31:12.740 Couldn't you do with a little bit less? 0.62

00:31:14.220 My father always used to say, turn off the lights, son.

00:31:20.040 But you guys are turning up the lights.

00:31:23.500 I want to thank Howard Lutnick for doing a terrific job.

00:31:26.680 He was involved in the big deal that we just completed with Japan.

00:31:32.000 Howard, wherever you are, Howard.

00:31:34.260 Where is Howard?

00:31:35.120 Hi, Howard.

00:31:35.840 Great job you did.

00:31:37.000 Appreciate it.

00:31:37.820 Really.

00:31:38.680 That was an interesting negotiation, wasn't it?

00:31:40.940 These are tough people.

00:31:41.920 These are good negotiators, I will tell you, Japan.

00:31:44.440 But they love their country and they do what's right for their country.

00:31:47.760 I want to thank Chris Wright, if Chris is around.

00:31:49.980 Chris is here because he's helping with the tremendous energy success that we're having.

00:31:57.700 We're having tremendous energy success.

00:31:59.600 We're the biggest...

00:32:00.580 We have more energy than anybody else in the world.

00:32:02.760 Nobody knew that until I came along.

00:32:04.540 But we have more energy than anybody else in the world.

00:32:07.700 We're making incredible deals on energy, including deals in Alaska.

00:32:12.720 Well, we sort of...

00:32:14.700 That's the mother load.

00:32:16.020 That's the big one.

00:32:16.860 And we're making deals with various Asian countries that need it.

00:32:21.560 And it's actually hard to believe you don't think of it, but Asia is very close to Alaska, relatively speaking.

00:32:27.140 It's not the closest, but it is pretty much the closest when it comes to oil and gas and energy.

00:32:33.460 And we're making some incredible deals.

00:32:35.300 And I want to thank Chris.

00:32:36.380 Chris is fantastic works in partnership, really, with this gentleman who's the head of all of...

00:32:43.100 Well, you've got the land and he's got the energy, right?

00:32:45.280 But you really...

00:32:46.380 They formed a great partnership, Doug.

00:32:48.860 So that's one of the greatest partnerships I've seen in a long time.

00:32:52.900 They work hand in hand and they have done a great job.

00:32:55.620 Administrators.

00:32:57.060 Kelly Loeffler, I think, is here.

00:32:58.960 Kelly, thank you very much.

00:33:00.380 Hi, Kelly.

00:33:02.420 Hi, Kelly.

00:33:03.620 And probably the most important man in the room, and I say it in all sincerity, more important than Doug and Chris and all that energy they're producing.

00:33:14.780 He's a man that produces fast permits on the environmental impact statements.

00:33:19.820 He gets them done.

00:33:20.680 I said, Lee, you have one week, one week for nuclear, and you have a couple of days for oil and gas, okay, for the approvals.

00:33:33.020 And we kid, but, you know, he really is.

00:33:35.260 He's knocking them out fast.

00:33:36.440 He's knocked out a lot.

00:33:37.380 A lot of you guys have started your plants already, and you've already had your approvals.

00:33:40.900 So where is Lee Zeldin?

00:33:42.040 Is he here?

00:33:43.100 He is so great.

00:33:44.120 This guy.

00:33:47.780 He is so great.

00:33:49.040 That's why he has a slightly better seat than I gave to Doug, you see?

00:33:54.160 He's doing a fantastic job in a lot of ways, but he's doing a great job.

00:33:57.600 And he's getting fast permits, and safe and good and everything else, but he's moving them along rapidly, already given some.

00:34:04.920 And, you know, one of the most exciting things we'll talk about in a second is the fact that you're going to build your own electric-producing plants when you build whatever you're building.

00:34:13.780 And it could be – it's different things, including automobile factories, which are going up all over the place.

00:34:18.680 You'll see them starting soon.

00:34:20.320 They're moving into our country because of the tariffs, because they don't want to pay the tariffs. 0.99

00:34:24.240 They're moving into our country at a record – a record speed. 0.98

00:34:28.020 But the ability to build your own electric plant, not having to rely on a 100-year-plus-old grid.

00:34:35.980 And then if you have electric capacity extra, you're going to sell it into the grid and make some money, but you'll sell it right back into the grid.

00:34:44.240 The director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Michael Kratzios.

00:34:50.920 Michael, thank you very much.

00:34:54.620 Thank you, Michael.

00:34:57.460 As well – oh, it's supposed to be taking a vote right now, a big vote.

00:35:00.540 Senator Ted Cruz.

00:35:01.560 Is Senator Cruz here?

00:35:03.060 Oh, look at my – why aren't you voting?

00:35:05.220 I think we lost David McCormick, who's voting.

00:35:10.320 So why aren't – is David here?

00:35:12.180 Because you're supposed to be voting, Ted.

00:35:14.240 I don't know.

00:35:16.700 I'll tell you what.

00:35:17.340 This man works hard.

00:35:19.040 Ted works hard, and he works good.

00:35:21.560 And a very special thanks to some of the top industry leaders here, including somebody that's amazing.

00:35:27.420 I said, look, we'll break this guy up.

00:35:29.620 This is before I learned the facts of life.

00:35:32.220 I said, we'll break him up.

00:35:33.460 I said, no, sir, he's very hard.

00:35:34.980 I said, why?

00:35:36.260 I said, what percentage of the market does he have?

00:35:40.180 Sir, he has 100%. 0.76

00:35:42.660 I said, who the hell is he?

00:35:45.940 What's his name?

00:35:46.920 His name is Jensen Wong, NVIDIA.

00:35:49.720 I said, what the hell is NVIDIA?

00:35:51.400 I've never heard of it before.

00:35:52.800 He said, you don't want to know about it, sir.

00:35:55.460 I figured we could go in and we could sort of break him up a little bit, get him a little competition.

00:36:00.740 And I found out it's not easy in that business.

00:36:04.740 I said, supposedly we put the greatest minds together.

00:36:07.540 They work hand in hand for a couple of years.

00:36:10.240 He said, no, it would take at least 10 years to catch him if he ran NVIDIA totally incompetently from now on.

00:36:17.500 So I said, all right, let's go on to the next one.

00:36:19.620 And then I got to know Jensen and now I see why.

00:36:23.580 Jensen, we used to end up.

00:36:24.800 What a job.

00:36:26.600 What a job you've done.

00:36:28.800 Man.

00:36:33.540 Great.

00:36:34.180 It's a great, he's a great guy, too.

00:36:36.680 Lisa Su of AMD.

00:36:38.900 Lisa?

00:36:41.080 Lisa?

00:36:41.480 Thank you.

00:36:43.360 Congratulations.

00:36:44.600 Great job.

00:36:45.160 Sham, Seneca, of Palantir.

00:36:51.140 We buy a lot of things from Palantir.

00:36:53.500 Where are you?

00:36:54.780 Are we paying our bills?

00:36:56.220 I think so.

00:36:58.380 We just made a deal with the European Union where they're going to pay the United States of America 100% of the cost of all military equipment.

00:37:08.800 They're going to ship it to the European Union and then they'll distribute it and much of it will go to Ukraine.

00:37:15.140 It's been a long time since you've heard those words because we're in for $350 billion.

00:37:21.500 But now we send it to Europe and Europe pays and they were great.

00:37:26.540 We had a tremendous NATO meeting a few weeks ago and it was pretty amazing, actually, what happened.

00:37:33.080 They agreed to go from 2% to 5%.

00:37:35.540 And they had 2% where they didn't pay.

00:37:37.920 They have 5% where they've already paid.

00:37:40.300 That's a big difference.

00:37:41.400 That's trillions of dollars, actually, trillions.

00:37:44.920 But they're going to spend that money in the United States with our defense companies and we're going to send it to them and they'll distribute the equipment that we send.

00:37:54.540 So that's the way it should have been three years ago, frankly.

00:37:57.680 And Jeff Sprecher, the other half of that incredible family, is he here?

00:38:04.320 Is he here?

00:38:05.240 He's a fantastic guy, international, intercontinental exchange.

00:38:09.740 And he's been a friend of mine for a long time, the husband of Kelly, who's really doing a good job.

00:38:15.200 You are really doing a good job.

00:38:17.320 Small business, which is actually big business if you add it all up, right?

00:38:21.240 Probably the biggest bank there is.

00:38:23.280 But they call it small business and she's done a fantastic job.

00:38:26.640 Thanks, Kel.

00:38:27.080 So say hello to Jeff.

00:38:28.980 As we gather this afternoon, we're still in the earliest days of one of the most important technological revolutions in the history of the world.

00:38:38.400 Around the globe, everyone is talking about artificial intelligence.

00:38:42.020 I find that too artificial.

00:38:43.640 I can't stand it.

00:38:45.320 I don't even like the name.

00:38:46.820 You know, I don't like anything that's artificial.

00:38:48.720 So could we straighten that out, please?

00:38:50.160 We should change the name.

00:38:51.940 I actually mean that.

00:38:53.200 I don't like the name artificial anything because it's not artificial.

00:38:56.180 It's genius.

00:38:57.180 It's pure genius.

00:38:59.260 And it's potential to transform every type of human endeavor and domain of human knowledge from medicine to manufacturing to warfare and national defense.

00:39:10.480 Whether we like it or not, we're suddenly engaged in a fast-paced competition to build and define this groundbreaking technology that will determine so much about the future of civilization itself because of the genius and creativity of Silicon Valley.

00:39:29.940 And it is incredible, incredible genius, without question, the most brilliant place anywhere on earth.

00:39:37.100 America is the country that started the AI race.

00:39:41.140 And as president of the United States and as president of the United States, I'm here today to declare that America is going to win it.

00:39:48.540 We're going to work hard.

00:39:49.380 We're going to win it.

00:39:50.100 Because we will not allow any foreign nation to beat us. 1.00

00:39:59.160 Our children will not live in a planet controlled by the algorithms, the adversaries advancing values and interests contrary to our own.

00:40:10.420 We don't want to have contrary interests.

00:40:12.460 We want to get along.

00:40:13.420 And we'll get along with other countries.

00:40:14.940 We're having a great relationship, as I told you, with those countries that we mentioned, with Japan and Indonesia and so many others.

00:40:23.700 The European Union, we're getting along.

00:40:26.300 We're getting along very well with China.

00:40:28.580 A lot of respect for President Xi.

00:40:30.580 We have a great relationship.

00:40:32.620 And we'll see how it all works out.

00:40:34.500 But we're getting along with countries very great.

00:40:38.000 It's really been pretty amazing, I will say that.

00:40:40.800 And it's a good thing.

00:40:41.760 It's a good thing, not a bad thing.

00:40:43.200 And so from this day forward, it'll be a policy of the United States to do whatever it takes to lead the world in artificial intelligence.

00:40:53.060 Such an important thing happening.

00:40:55.020 This is really something that nobody expected.

00:40:58.100 It just popped out of the air.

00:41:01.240 And here we are.

00:41:02.540 But we will defend our nation, our values, our future, and our freedom.

00:41:06.180 And it will be really great.

00:41:09.460 But what we really need to be successful is a very simple phrase called common sense.

00:41:15.460 And that begins with a common sense application of artificial and intellectual property rules.

00:41:22.820 It's so important.

00:41:23.600 You can't be expected to have a successful AI program when every single article, book, or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for.

00:41:33.700 Gee, I read a book.

00:41:34.600 I'm supposed to pay somebody.

00:41:35.820 And, you know, we appreciate that.

00:41:38.480 But you just can't do it because it's not doable.

00:41:41.500 And if you're going to try and do that, you're not going to have a successful program.

00:41:45.120 I think most of the people in the room know what I mean.

00:41:47.820 When a person reads a book or an article, you've gained great knowledge.

00:41:52.900 That does not mean that you're violating copyright laws or have to make deals with every content provider.

00:42:00.940 And that's a big thing that you're working on right now, I know.

00:42:03.960 But you just can't do it.

00:42:05.080 China's not doing it.

00:42:06.240 And if you're going to be beating China, and right now we're leading China very substantially in AI, very, very substantially.

00:42:12.480 And nobody's seen the amount of work that's going to be bursting upon the scene.

00:42:18.440 But you have to be able to play by the same set of rules.

00:42:23.020 So when you have something, when you read something, and when it goes into this vast intelligence machine, we'll call it,

00:42:32.940 you cannot expect to every time, every single time, say, oh, let's pay this one that much, let's pay this one.

00:42:39.420 It just doesn't work that way.

00:42:40.540 And, of course, you can't copy or plagiarize an article.

00:42:44.500 But if you read an article and learn from it, we have to allow AI to use that pool of knowledge without going through the complexity of contract negotiations,

00:42:53.360 of which there would be thousands for every time we use AI.

00:42:58.460 We also have to have a single federal standard, not 50 different states regulating this industry of the future.

00:43:07.200 And some people would say, gee, that's an unpopular thing to say.

00:43:10.160 I was told before I got up here this is an unpopular thing because some people, they don't want that.

00:43:16.320 But I want you to be successful.

00:43:19.620 And you can't have one state holding you up.

00:43:22.260 You can't have three or four states holding you up.

00:43:24.640 You can't have a state with standards that are so high that it's going to hold you up.

00:43:28.800 You have to have a federal rule and regulation.

00:43:31.800 Hopefully you'll have the right guy in this position that's going to supplant the states.

00:43:39.760 If you are operating under 50 different sets of state laws, the most restrictive state of all will be the one that rules. 0.92

00:43:49.140 So you could have a state run by a crazy governor, a governor that hates you, a governor that's not smart,

00:43:57.220 or maybe a governor that's very smart, but decides that he doesn't like the industry and he can put you out of business 0.95

00:44:03.840 because you're going to have to go to that lowest common denominator.

00:44:07.820 We need one common sense federal standard that supersedes all states, supersedes everybody,

00:44:13.900 so you don't end up in litigation with 43 states at one time.

00:44:19.340 You've got to go litigation free.

00:44:21.460 It's the only way.

00:44:22.560 And we also have to watch Europe, Asia, and all foreign countries so that they don't make rules and regulations 0.97

00:44:28.440 that likewise make it impossible for you to do business and where you'd have to make everything in AI cater to them

00:44:36.580 because, again, you'd have to cater to the toughest country or to the toughest state.

00:44:41.280 You can't do that because it would ruin it.

00:44:43.900 I just terminated all of the, as an example, California car emissions rules,

00:44:49.800 which were a disaster, a disaster.

00:44:51.660 It cost them just billions of dollars as an industry, but thousands of dollars per car,

00:44:59.800 the emission rule standard, because they were making the production of an automobile almost impossible

00:45:05.520 and at a tremendously higher cost, much more expensive than it should cost for very little gain,

00:45:12.200 for actually, in my opinion, negative gain.

00:45:15.040 The automobile was worse.

00:45:17.520 Under this administration, our innovation will be unmatched and our capabilities will be unrivaled.

00:45:25.120 And with the help of many of the people in this room, America's ultimate triumph will be absolutely unstoppable.

00:45:30.920 We will be unstoppable as a nation.

00:45:33.720 Again, we're way ahead and we want to stay that way.

00:45:36.640 We can't let individual smaller units stop it because that's the only thing that can stop it

00:45:43.220 and can really mess it up.

00:45:44.580 As with any such breakthrough, this technology brings the potential for bad as well as for good,

00:45:51.240 for peril as well as for progress.

00:45:53.700 But the daunting power of AI is the, really, it's not going to be a reason for retreat from this new frontier.

00:46:02.920 On the contrary, it is the more reason we must ensure it is pioneered first and best.

00:46:09.800 We have to have the best, the first pioneer.

00:46:12.300 We are the best and the first pioneers.

00:46:14.720 And we're going to be really putting a nation that we love, America, we're going to be putting it first.

00:46:21.960 I have an expression, America first, make America great again.

00:46:25.220 A lot of great expressions, but they're all so true.

00:46:28.280 We're going to make America great again.

00:46:29.680 We're going to make this industry absolutely the top because right now it's a beautiful baby that's born.

00:46:37.880 We have to grow that baby and let that baby thrive.

00:46:42.440 We can't stop it.

00:46:43.520 We can't stop it with politics. 1.00

00:46:46.020 We can't stop it with foolish rules and even stupid rules. 0.99

00:46:49.900 At the same time, we want to have rules, but they have to be smart. 0.99

00:46:54.640 They have to be brilliant.

00:46:55.680 They have to be more brilliant than even the technology itself.

00:46:58.580 Surely there will be challenges on the path ahead, but together we will meet them and transcend them all.

00:47:05.580 We are Americans and we are Americans first.

00:47:08.760 I have a couple of people I know that don't happen to be from here, but I wish you a lot of luck anyway.

00:47:13.900 I was looking at three people that are not Americans, but very good people.

00:47:18.320 Please treat them nicely.

00:47:19.760 But we do not shrink from the future or cower in the face of uncertainty.

00:47:25.640 We dominate the future.

00:47:27.020 We conquer new frontiers and we control our own fate.

00:47:30.580 And we determine by doing that our own destiny.

00:47:34.540 Winning this competition will be a test of our capacities unlike anything since the dawn of the space age.

00:47:41.440 I believe that it's hard to believe as a as the president, the amount of enthusiasm for this one industry.

00:47:51.360 I mean, I can talk about cars where we're doing incredibly well.

00:47:54.540 We have car companies moving in all the time.

00:47:57.180 But I talk about other industries.

00:47:59.080 It's everybody's saying this is going to dominate the world.

00:48:02.120 It's going to dominate every industry that ever conceived.

00:48:04.920 I don't know if that's true.

00:48:06.660 I don't know if it's true.

00:48:08.640 But I can tell you that a lot of very brilliant people think it is true.

00:48:12.320 It will dominate everything.

00:48:13.400 It will challenge us to marshal all of our strength and flex the muscles of American ingenuity and resolve like probably never before.

00:48:23.200 It will require us to blast through obsolete systems, cut through thickets of regulation.

00:48:29.780 We've got to get rid of some of the regulation, but we want good regulation.

00:48:33.400 And we build the industrial bedrock of our country and perhaps most importantly, winning the A.I. race will demand a new spirit of patriotism and national loyalty in Silicon Valley and long beyond Silicon Valley.

00:48:49.260 For too long, much of our tech industry pursued a radical globalism that left millions of Americans feeling distrustful and betrayed.

00:49:05.880 And you know that.

00:49:06.680 Everybody knows that.

00:49:07.720 Everybody in this room certainly does.

00:49:09.440 Many of our largest tech companies have reaped the blessings of American freedom while building their factories in China, hiring workers in India and slashing profits in Ireland.

00:49:21.600 You know that.

00:49:22.800 All the while dismissing and even censoring their fellow citizens right here at home.

00:49:28.520 Under President Trump, those days are over.

00:49:31.060 We need U.S. technology companies to be all in for America.

00:49:35.940 We want you to put America first.

00:49:37.740 You have to do that.

00:49:38.640 That's all we ask.

00:49:40.060 That's all we ask.

00:49:43.840 To partner with our tech geniuses in achieving this vision today, we're releasing the White House A.I. Action Plan.

00:49:52.460 Big stuff.

00:49:53.300 Signing it right after this.

00:49:54.980 In fact, I see it sitting right there.

00:49:56.760 Maybe I should just sign it right now.

00:49:58.840 Who the hell has to make the rest of this speech, right?

00:50:02.920 But here are the pillars of the strategy.

00:50:05.340 First, my administration will use every tool at our disposal to ensure that the United States can build and maintain the largest, most powerful and most advanced A.I. infrastructure anywhere on the planet.

00:50:18.380 America needs new data centers, new semiconductor and chip manufacturing facilities, new power plants and transmission lines.

00:50:27.720 And under my leadership, we're going to get that job done and it's going to be done with certainty and with environmental protection and all of the things that we have to do to get it done properly.

00:50:39.720 Virtually all of these large capital investments can be and should be made by the private sector.

00:50:45.680 And they want to do that.

00:50:46.900 They just want to be able to do it.

00:50:49.040 But for that reason, America must once again be a country where innovators are rewarded with a green light, not strangled with red tape so they can't move, so they can't breathe.

00:50:59.300 And that's not going to happen.

00:51:00.420 You're going to see things that you've never seen in this country before.

00:51:03.060 So often, and I've been watching for many years, I've watched regulation.

00:51:07.580 I've been a victim of regulation.

00:51:09.400 A zone change that takes six years for a building in Manhattan or whatever.

00:51:14.540 But I was good at zone changes, but it took a long time.

00:51:18.180 By the time you got to zoning, the market changed.

00:51:20.360 You didn't want to build the building.

00:51:21.680 You say, well, but in some cases, that made you lucky, didn't it?

00:51:25.260 And some, not too many people understand that in this room.

00:51:28.220 But in some cases, waiting for that approval as the market collapsed was a good thing, not a bad thing.

00:51:34.400 But it's time to reclaim our heritage as a nation of builders.

00:51:38.760 And that's why, upon taking office, I signed a historic executive order directing that every one, and this is so important for every new regulation, 10 old regulations must be immediately eliminated.

00:51:53.720 So we have old regulations that clog up the books that don't even mean anything anymore.

00:52:00.760 You know, in my first term, I had more regulation cuts than any president in history times four, and that included two-term presidents where you're talking about eight years.

00:52:13.860 We had more than any other president, and I think we may even top it this year.

00:52:18.360 We may very well be able to top it during this period of time because you're really, you are a regulation-prone group, and we're looking to get those regulations out of your way so you can use your genius.

00:52:30.980 Earlier this month, we also enacted the largest tax cuts in American history when I signed the one big, beautiful bill into law.

00:52:39.700 And I think the most important thing in the whole tax cut in terms of pure economics, and I think one of the reasons that my first, you know, we had the most successful economy in history during my first term, and I think this is going to blow it away.

00:52:58.260 So far it is, and I think this is going to blow it away.

00:53:01.260 But the reason we had was I had expensing at 100%, and what we did is we included 100% in this bill, expensing for all capital expenditures, including investments in factories and equipment and structure.

00:53:17.500 Structure wasn't included last time, so even structure, and you're able to write it all off immediately.

00:53:23.180 That's the biggest thing.

00:53:24.180 Not 38 years, not 42 years.

00:53:26.360 You're able to write it all off immediately.

00:53:28.160 And this time, we've made it for 10 years, not for one year.

00:53:32.980 We've made it for 10 years, so you have a much longer period, but I'd say get out and take advantage of it.

00:53:38.840 I think that's one of the reasons that we had such an incredible success with the first tax cuts.

00:53:45.660 And one of the things that this bill does is it extends the first tax cuts and makes them permanent.

00:53:52.140 And in addition to that, we were granted other taxes, like no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime.

00:54:02.340 A lot of great things.

00:54:03.780 One of the things that I mentioned, not so pertinent here, but if you're in the automobile business, it's pertinent.

00:54:08.460 And I said, why is it that people like us always are looking for expenses and deductions, and people that buy automobiles that really have to go out and borrow money to buy a car, why aren't they allowed to deduct the interest on their loan to buy a car from their income tax?

00:54:27.840 Yes. And we got it approved. We got it approved. And that is such a big thing.

00:54:31.980 And I think that's going to be such a big thing for the automobile industry.

00:54:34.920 We're going to be making more cars. Within a few years, we're going to be making more cars than we made in the very beginning, in the super prime.

00:54:42.300 You know, we lost almost 50 percent of our automobile business to Mexico, Canada, and various other places, as you know, in Europe and in Asia.

00:54:51.960 And now we're getting it back. We're getting it back in record numbers.

00:54:56.100 And I think we're going to be topping any amount.

00:54:58.120 In a few years, we'll be making more automobiles than we've ever made in the history of our country, including what I call prime time.

00:55:05.920 My administration is also pursuing a future of all out American energy dominance.

00:55:11.740 And on day one, I terminated the Green News scam. You know what that was? You were all victims to it. 0.98

00:55:17.140 Perhaps the second or third greatest scam in the history of our country.

00:55:22.120 I would say the first was Russia, Russia, Russia. And we had a couple of others, too.

00:55:27.740 But the Green News scam was one of the greatest. It's so ridiculous what they've made you do. 0.89

00:55:35.280 The carbon footprint. They talked about the carbon footprint.

00:55:39.320 And then Obama hops onto a 747 Air Force One and flies to Hawaii to play a round of golf and comes back.

00:55:46.200 What about the carbon footprint? No, we didn't. We didn't like that.

00:55:50.240 And what Biden has done is is absolutely terrible.

00:55:54.800 He made it impossible, almost impossible for people to do business, not even talking about the border,

00:55:59.620 where millions and millions of people float into our country, many from prisons, from jails, from gangs, from mental institutions all over the world.

00:56:09.040 No, we're not doing that. We have to get them out. 0.69

00:56:11.320 We've got 11,888 murderers. Many of them committed more than one murder.

00:56:17.940 Many of them, more than 50 percent, committed more murders.

00:56:20.680 We're getting them out of our country. Or in some cases, they're so bad, we're not getting them out. 0.98

00:56:25.380 We're having to lock them up because we don't want them ever to come back, no matter how good we're doing.

00:56:29.600 You know, last month, you probably read, we had zero people enter our country illegally.

00:56:38.760 And over the last number of years, you'd have hundreds of thousands, literally hundreds of thousands of people a week pour into our country,

00:56:45.980 totally unvetted and unchecked. And what the hell were they thinking?

00:56:51.140 What they've done to our country is so sad, and we can never forget it.

00:56:56.320 But we're unleashing all forms of energy, including natural gas, oil, and clean, beautiful coal.

00:57:02.440 I instructed my people in the form of Chris and Doug, in particular, you are not allowed to say the word coal without saying clean, beautiful in front of it.

00:57:11.880 But you can only say clean, beautiful coal. It's a little embarrassing because we had somebody making a speech the other day, right?

00:57:18.640 And he mentioned the word coal about 30 times because that was the subject.

00:57:22.200 And he kept going clean, beautiful. I wanted to say, OK, just take it easy.

00:57:25.540 You could just get a little bit crazy, right, Doug?

00:57:29.440 But it's, you know, China's using it.

00:57:33.040 They're building now 57 big power plants, all fueled by coal.

00:57:37.460 And we have to compete. We have to win. And we're going to have clean, beautiful coal.

00:57:42.900 But we have more coal than anything. We have more anything in terms of energy than anybody, oil and gas.

00:57:48.040 We also have more coal.

00:57:49.740 In May, I also signed an executive order to rapidly begin construction of safe, reliable nuclear reactors.

00:57:56.740 That's a big thing now.

00:58:01.120 And many of you will, many of you are going to be using nuclear.

00:58:05.400 You know, I had problems with nuclear. I saw some of the things.

00:58:09.740 But what they've done with nuclear is like what you've done with AI and other things.

00:58:13.660 It's incredible, actually. It's long term. It's inexpensive.

00:58:19.300 It's it's just it's safe.

00:58:22.100 What they've done is really amazing.

00:58:24.200 So we opened up the industry, very strict rules.

00:58:27.240 But we opened up the industry and some of you are going to choose nuclear over oil and gas or whatever it might be.

00:58:32.340 Under the last year of Biden, China added 11 times as much power generation capacity as did the United States.

00:58:40.840 Can you imagine that 11 times under the Trump administration?

00:58:44.340 We will be saying those very famous campaign words, drill, baby, drill and build, baby, build.

00:58:50.680 And we will be adding at least as much electric capacity as China.

00:58:56.540 We think we're going to catch them and maybe even have something a little bit extra.

00:59:01.800 They go on very rapidly, but so are we.

00:59:04.360 And we'll be doing at least as much.

00:59:06.780 And every company will be given the right to build their own power plant.

00:59:10.360 So when you build, you can build your power plant with it.

00:59:12.860 And you are essentially going to become your own utility.

00:59:16.580 It's a utility to yourselves.

00:59:18.620 And as I said, any excess energy, you're going to sell back to the grid and make plenty of money doing it.

00:59:24.460 As a result of these pro-American policies since my election, we're seeing trillions and trillions of dollars in new investments.

00:59:32.580 So at this moment, we have almost 17 trillion dollars coming into this country.

00:59:38.400 There's never been a period of time like that.

00:59:40.220 And that's in a period of a few months.

00:59:43.600 In a few months, Meta, Amazon, Google.

00:59:47.860 There's a lot of talk about government debt.

00:59:49.920 But after four years of inflation, the real crisis is personal debt.

00:59:54.800 Seriously, you're working harder than ever.

00:59:56.960 And you're still drowning in credit card debt and overdue bills.

01:00:00.380 You need done with debt.

01:00:03.520 And here's why you need it.

01:00:04.740 The credit system is rigged to keep you trapped.

01:00:08.420 Done with debt has unique and, frankly, brilliant escape strategies to help end your debt fast.

01:00:15.020 So you keep more of your hard-earned money.

01:00:18.040 Done with debt doesn't try to sell you a loan and they don't try to sell you a bankruptcy.

01:00:23.240 They're tough negotiators that go one-on-one with your credit card and loan companies with one goal,

01:00:28.520 to drastically reduce your bills and eliminate interest and erase penalties.

01:00:34.160 Most clients end up with more money in their pocket month one,

01:00:38.140 and they don't stop until they break you free from debt permanently.

01:00:44.420 Look, take a couple of minutes and visit donewithdebt.com.

01:00:48.340 Talk with one of their strategists.

01:00:49.980 It's free.

01:01:05.820 Google, Microsoft are all investing $320 billion or more in data centers and AI infrastructure this year.

01:01:14.320 Those companies are really going at it, and they're very smart people, very good people.

01:01:21.400 I got to know a lot of them.

01:01:22.640 I didn't like them so much the first term when I was running.

01:01:25.980 I wouldn't say I was thrilled with them, but I've gotten to know them and like them.

01:01:30.480 And I think they got to like me, but I think they got to like my policies maybe much more than me.

01:01:35.960 NVIDIA has committed $500 billion over the next four years.

01:01:40.740 Thank you, Jensen.

01:01:41.420 And I'm sure that'll be a good investment if you're doing it.

01:01:45.020 It's good.

01:01:46.100 Thank you very much.

01:01:47.260 It's a great statement.

01:01:49.340 Last week, I was in Pennsylvania.

01:01:51.200 20 companies announced $92 billion with David McCormick, senator, a great guy from Pennsylvania.

01:01:57.900 $92 billion in energy and data center projects, including what will soon be the largest natural gas power plant anywhere in North America.

01:02:07.760 They're going to town.

01:02:08.700 It's already under construction.

01:02:09.900 The largest in North America by far.

01:02:12.700 For decades, we had leaders who spent their time focused on building up foreign nations.

01:02:18.740 Under the Trump administration, we are going to have leaders who are going to build up our nation.

01:02:23.820 And this colossal investment in AI infrastructure and many other industries, for that matter, such as automobiles and so many other things will also create thousands and thousands of great paying jobs, the kind of jobs we want, including lots of blue collar jobs.

01:02:41.540 And, you know, our numbers are very good right now.

01:02:44.140 But when you see these numbers in two years from now, it will mean higher wages and more opportunity for millions of energy workers.

01:02:52.320 There's HVAC technicians, engineers, electricians, and the hardworking citizens who make our country run.

01:02:59.560 These are great people that make our country actually run to ensure America maintains the world class infrastructure we need to win today.

01:03:07.360 I will sign a sweeping executive order to fast track federal permitting, streamline reviews and do everything possible to expedite construction of all major AI infrastructure projects.

01:03:19.340 And this will be done, you will get so good a service in so many ways, not only from Lee with the environment, but you need many other types of permits and you're going to go so fast.

01:03:30.680 You're going to say, well, wait a minute, this is too fast. I didn't expect to go this quickly. This is a problem.

01:03:35.160 I may cause a problem in opposite, but including factories, data centers and power plants of all kinds, the United States will have total industrial and technological supremacy.

01:03:45.920 The second pillar of our action plan for AI dominance is to get the entire world running on the backbone of American technology.

01:03:55.080 And I think that's very much happening right now. And I think it's going to happen.

01:03:58.840 The last administration was obsessed with imposing restrictions on AI, including extreme restrictions on its exports.

01:04:06.960 As you know, they made it very difficult to export.

01:04:09.700 This alienated American partners and drove even our friends into the arms of China and other countries. 0.99

01:04:17.760 That's why upon taking office, I repealed the so-called Biden diffusion rule.

01:04:23.980 Can you imagine that? That crippled American AI exports, the Biden diffusion rule.

01:04:29.860 I wonder who came up with that name because he just has no idea what it is.

01:04:33.580 He had no idea what it was. He came up with the rule. I wonder who drew that one.

01:04:37.860 I wonder, was that signed by the auto pen, I think, because they went to him and said, we're going to do a diffusion rule, Mr. President.

01:04:46.000 What? What? It's OK. The auto pen will take care of it.

01:04:49.560 It's one of the greatest scandals in the history of our country.

01:04:52.080 Let me tell you, under my administration, we will maintain necessary protections for our national security.

01:04:58.800 But we will never forget that the greatest threat of all is to forfeit the race and force our partners into rival technology.

01:05:08.060 We're not going to do that. We're not going to do that.

01:05:12.080 I'm not going to let that happen. That could be the end.

01:05:16.460 And when I traveled to the Middle East in May, every leader I met was thrilled to do business with American tech firms and with America.

01:05:26.120 And they were all thrilled to meet me, believe it or not.

01:05:28.360 It's hard to believe this. But they were.

01:05:30.480 By the way, the most powerful woman in the world is here today. 1.00

01:05:33.840 Susie Weill, stand up, please. 0.94

01:05:35.680 Susie Weill.

01:05:39.020 Chief of Staff.

01:05:41.260 She can take out a country with a mere phone call. 1.00

01:05:44.720 No, they just voted in the most powerful woman anywhere in the world. 0.99

01:05:48.780 She might be the most powerful person in the world, I think. 0.69

01:05:51.740 But she's done a fantastic job.

01:05:52.900 And she's done a good job, though, huh?

01:05:56.260 Good.

01:05:59.360 But we're going to come home with trillions and trillions of dollars in deals.

01:06:04.160 And that's the way it is.

01:06:05.700 But the king of Saudi Arabia met three great leaders.

01:06:09.020 I went to three countries predominantly.

01:06:10.620 The king of Saudi Arabia said, and I can say that Qatar and UAE, the leaders, brilliant guys, great people.

01:06:19.380 They said the same thing.

01:06:20.580 They said, you know what?

01:06:21.580 That one year ago, your country was dead.

01:06:25.000 It was a dead country.

01:06:26.520 They were looking at China.

01:06:27.640 They were looking at other places.

01:06:28.880 But you had a dead country.

01:06:30.980 And today, Mr. President, you have the hottest country anywhere in the world.

01:06:35.920 They said that.

01:06:36.580 And they meant it so strongly.

01:06:40.700 And when I went to NATO two weeks ago, where we made the deal where they pay 5% instead of 2%,

01:06:45.780 they said the same exact thing.

01:06:48.540 They said, boy, I tell you what a difference it is.

01:06:50.740 It's a year ago.

01:06:51.720 You people were dead.

01:06:53.820 We didn't think you were going to make it as a country.

01:06:55.680 Today, you're the hottest country in the world.

01:06:57.640 They all said it.

01:06:59.380 All those leaders said 30 of them.

01:07:02.420 So today, I'm signing another major executive order that will turn America into an AI export powerhouse.

01:07:13.320 Under this order, Secretary Lutnik and Secretary Marco Rubio, Marco Rubio is doing a great job as Secretary of State,

01:07:21.760 we'll work to rapidly expand American AI exports of all kinds, from chips to software to data storage, of all kinds.

01:07:30.440 And that's very important.

01:07:31.560 That's going to give you the freedom to do what you want to do.

01:07:34.440 And third, once and for all, we are getting rid of woke.

01:07:38.160 Is that okay?

01:07:39.240 Because I know you had to hire all woke people. 0.99

01:07:43.080 I heard you had to hire all woke people under some of these things. 0.92

01:07:46.420 How about the chips where they give you the chip nonsense, where they give you billions of dollars if you only build a chip company?

01:07:53.660 These people have plenty of money.

01:07:55.000 They don't need the money.

01:07:55.860 They need the permits.

01:07:56.780 They need the rights to do it.

01:07:57.960 They need the – they don't want to pay tariffs, so they come and they build here.

01:08:01.780 That's why they're coming here.

01:08:02.840 They like – number one, they like me, but they like – but they like not having to pay tariffs even more.

01:08:09.720 And they're coming.

01:08:10.820 But Biden gave billions of dollars to companies that have nothing but cash.

01:08:14.620 And they don't say where to build.

01:08:16.240 It's just giving them money.

01:08:17.100 But here's the problem.

01:08:18.660 They have to hire lots of woke people.

01:08:22.680 And they say woke isn't for this particular industry.

01:08:25.820 We've noticed that.

01:08:26.760 They're not for a lot of industries, if you want to know the truth.

01:08:30.700 So the guidelines were impossible.

01:08:32.900 They're going to give you money, but you've got to hire this and this and this and that.

01:08:36.760 And I don't want to get into it too much because I don't want any controversy today.

01:08:42.460 But you have to hire a lot of people that were not into this particular world that you're in.

01:08:47.680 And so, therefore, all the money they gave didn't mean a damn thing.

01:08:50.460 One of Biden's worst executive orders established toxic diversity, equity, and inclusion ideology as a guiding principle of American AI development.

01:09:00.600 So you immediately knew that was the end of your development.

01:09:03.660 But the American people do not want woke Marxist lunacy in the AI models and neither do other countries.

01:09:11.740 They don't want it.

01:09:12.440 They don't want anything to do with it.

01:09:13.840 That's why on day one, I very proudly terminated Joe Biden's order on woke AI effective immediately.

01:09:20.540 You don't have any of those crazy rule?

01:09:23.100 Crazy rule. 0.82

01:09:25.620 And in just a moment, I will be signing an order banning the federal government from procuring AI technology that has been infused with partisan bias or ideological agendas, such as critical race theory, which is ridiculous.

01:09:40.000 And from now on, the U.S. government will deal only with AI that pursues truth, fairness, and strict impartiality.

01:09:47.940 We're not going to go through the craziness that we've gone through for the last four years.

01:09:53.860 And then we skip four, and then you go back, and it started then.

01:09:57.540 But it hung around a little while.

01:09:59.380 Now it's not hanging around at all.

01:10:01.040 Now it's actually very uncool, as somebody told me the other day.

01:10:04.600 It's so uncool to be woke.

01:10:06.980 I encourage all American companies to join us in rejecting poisonous Marxism and our technology.

01:10:13.220 It'll be very interesting to see what's happening in New York, because they're actually thinking about electing a communist in New York.

01:10:19.620 They like to call him a socialist.

01:10:20.920 He's not a socialist.

01:10:21.880 He's a communist.

01:10:23.160 But don't worry.

01:10:23.800 You're going to be okay.

01:10:24.660 He still has to get his money from the White House, and that's not going to happen until he shapes up.

01:10:29.500 But as an example, we are not going to allow men to play in women's sports. 0.95

01:10:39.060 That's an example.

01:10:40.140 That's one.

01:10:43.920 And they say that's an 80-20 number.

01:10:47.720 They say 80% would be against it.

01:10:50.460 No, it's not 80-20.

01:10:51.500 It's about 97-3.

01:10:53.520 And I don't know who the three are.

01:10:54.880 I've never seen anybody, I've never had a person, I've seen everybody, I'm a very open person.

01:11:00.580 They come up to me and they talk to me.

01:11:02.120 I've never had anybody come up, sir, you have to let men play in women's sports. 0.95

01:11:06.700 I've never had it.

01:11:08.160 I deal with hundreds of thousands of people every time I talk to somebody.

01:11:12.120 Nobody's ever, they talk about AI, they talk about everything, but they've never said,

01:11:16.720 you've got to allow, this is ridiculous, men should be allowed to play in women's sports. 0.96

01:11:20.800 It's sort of crazy, isn't it, huh? 0.93

01:11:25.060 You have to see, did you see the race?

01:11:26.720 It was a race, a long-distance marathon, one of those all-day deals.

01:11:30.920 And we had one of the great female runners and we had one of the great male runners.

01:11:35.540 And at the end of the day, he won the race by five hours and 14 seconds.

01:11:41.140 They waited around for the really good athlete female, it's very demeaning to women, I want to tell you that, 1.00

01:11:48.760 but they waited, her parents were waiting for hours.

01:11:51.940 Somebody said, why don't you go back to the hotel and sleep for a few hours and come back and meet your daughter?

01:11:56.540 This is what they do.

01:11:57.480 You've got to see the weightlifting records, though, they're the best of all.

01:12:00.120 A woman lifted 212 pounds, it was a world record, it held for 18 years.

01:12:06.040 And now a man who transitioned came up and looked at the bar.

01:12:12.640 How much is it?

01:12:14.980 212 pounds.

01:12:16.520 Oh, let me try it.

01:12:17.960 I think he broke the record by 109 pounds.

01:12:23.380 It's going to be a long time, it's going to be a long time before a woman catches that. 1.00

01:12:27.240 And these are great athletes and great people, and it's demeaning, and who the hell wants this?

01:12:32.840 We're off of that whole standard, because I just tell you those as examples, we're off of it.

01:12:37.660 The reason the last administration was so eager to regulate and restrict AI was so they could limit this technology

01:12:45.200 to just a few large companies, allowing them to centralize it, censor it, control it, weaponize it,

01:12:52.360 and they would weaponize a very dishonest group of people.

01:12:54.960 You probably saw that, because we caught them in the act.

01:12:58.080 We really caught them.

01:12:58.880 We had it before, but now we really have them.

01:13:01.180 We have it where it counts.

01:13:02.480 This is the exact opposite of my approach.

01:13:05.900 The unique strength of the American tech industry has always come from its startups and small tech.

01:13:12.060 It comes through small.

01:13:13.540 Jensen was small.

01:13:14.460 Well, you have a small, I think so.

01:13:15.880 When you started in your bedroom, I think you were small, right?

01:13:18.900 He started as very small, and now he's really become very amazing.

01:13:24.360 If you regulate them too much, you kill the source of American genius and technological power.

01:13:30.860 I believe that Joe Biden had a plan to lose the AI race.

01:13:35.460 I think he wanted to lose it, because his plan would never have worked.

01:13:38.300 It would have never been successful, and you would have spent a lot of money,

01:13:41.080 and you wouldn't have been able to win.

01:13:42.300 They didn't allow you to win, but we have a plan which only admires and respects the winners.

01:13:50.040 Every citizen should take incredible pride in the inspiring feats of American innovators

01:13:55.280 who are pushing the bounds of human knowledge and achievement.

01:13:59.780 The people of open AI, Google, Meta, and countless startups are proving once again that America is impossible.

01:14:08.860 You are just impossible to beat.

01:14:12.300 You're not going to be beaten.

01:14:13.640 We're not going to let that happen. 0.96

01:14:15.640 When you do your best, when you work your hardest, and when you're allowed to be free of horrible, foolish regulation,

01:14:22.260 and you're going to have regulation, but it's going to be sensible, smart regulation.

01:14:26.860 There's nobody who's going to beat you.

01:14:28.720 As we push even further into this exciting frontier, let us never forget that all of this prosperity and progress

01:14:35.900 has come from the culture of freedom and hard work, merit, ambition, and risk-taking passed down from one generation of Americans to the next.

01:14:46.160 Silicon Valley rose to wealth, fame, and glory by exemplifying these values,

01:14:51.040 and it will win this race not by rejecting them, but by embracing them like they have never been embraced before.

01:14:59.380 We must put America first.

01:15:01.100 This is a nation that invented the light bulb, the telegraph, the television, the telephone, the computer chip, the smartphone, the GPS, the integrated circuit, and even the Internet.

01:15:15.060 Basically, we invented everything.

01:15:18.520 What is left?

01:15:19.780 We invented everything.

01:15:20.980 And now it's AI.

01:15:24.420 We invented everything.

01:15:26.320 Does anyone have anything else to say?

01:15:30.640 And now we're going to take it to a new level.

01:15:33.200 But Americans were the first to fly a plane, first to harness the atom, and first to plant our flag on the moon.

01:15:41.200 We mastered the industrial age.

01:15:43.100 We created the digital age.

01:15:44.840 And now we are leading the world into the golden age, indeed, the golden age of America.

01:15:51.460 With your help, that golden age will be built by American workers.

01:15:55.960 It will be powered by American energy.

01:15:58.080 It will be run on American technology, improved by American artificial intelligence,

01:16:04.100 and it will make America richer, stronger, greater, freer, and more powerful than ever before.

01:16:11.060 And I will now do my share by going and signing a name without an auto pen.

01:16:16.780 And I will sign it.

01:16:17.740 If we had one, I wouldn't use it anyway.

01:16:21.880 But we will sign it auto pen free, and we will say, Donald J. Trump, God bless America.

01:16:27.880 And God bless you.

01:16:28.840 And good luck, because the race has just begun, and you're going to win it.

01:16:32.720 Thank you very much, everybody.

01:16:34.120 Mr. President, the first executive order that we've prepared for your signature today

01:17:00.300 relates to federal permitting for data center infrastructure.

01:17:05.460 As you mentioned during your speech, this is a crucial issue affecting the entire AI industry.

01:17:10.080 What this executive order will do is establish fast-track permitting

01:17:14.500 and ensure that the federal government is working to get data centers approved

01:17:20.040 and through the permitting pipeline as quickly as possible.

01:17:50.020 As you said before, sir, it's absolutely essential that American AI models

01:17:54.340 and the American AI industry dominates the future of this industry around the world.

01:17:59.460 What this next executive order will do is promote, through various instrumentalities

01:18:05.840 of the federal government, the export abroad of American AI models

01:18:10.300 to ensure American AI dominance in the future.

01:18:12.960 Thank you.

01:18:20.020 And lastly, sir, as you said in your speech, we don't want woke AI.

01:18:41.620 We want AI models based on accurate information that give accurate information and accurate answers.

01:18:47.460 This executive order will ensure that when the federal government procures

01:18:51.920 or promotes different AI models, that those AI models are ideologically neutral,

01:18:57.620 that they don't embrace wokeism and critical race theory

01:19:00.640 and all of these terrible theories that have done so much damage to our country.

01:19:04.060 Thank you.

01:19:08.620 Thank you very much, everybody.

01:19:14.100 Good luck.

01:19:16.700 Good luck.

01:19:18.420 Thank you very much, everybody.

01:19:28.500 Good luck.

01:19:30.160 Thank you very much, everybody. Good luck.

01:19:33.160 Good luck. Thank you.

01:19:36.160 It is Wednesday, July 25th, July 23rd, in the year of our Lord, 2025.

01:20:03.160 We heard there President Trump's remarks on the now official AI action plan from the White House and the details of three executive orders.

01:20:17.160 It's a hard act to follow, given the over four years of coverage seeking to restrain, perhaps even derail the agenda of American tech companies to completely transform American life,

01:20:35.160 to completely transform the American populace and ultimately lead to a sort of global metamorphosis into a completely different phase of history, a transhuman phase. 0.81

01:20:50.480 I want to go through the details of the AI action plan and going into it, I think, in the spirit of objectivity.

01:21:01.240 I should go into it looking at the rationale first before hitting the critical points.

01:21:09.520 The plan itself is three-pronged.

01:21:14.420 You have the first pillar is geared towards acceleration and innovation.

01:21:20.680 The second pillar is geared towards the facilitation of data center construction, powering these data centers,

01:21:30.460 restricting U.S. chip exports and reshoring chip manufacturing to our soil.

01:21:37.960 And the final pillar, the third pillar, is intended to set out policy recommendations to ensure that the U.S. is at the forefront of diplomacy and security measures

01:21:52.920 so that should artificial intelligence go awry, should a bad actor use artificial intelligence for, say, bioweapons or even, God forbid, the construction of a nuclear weapon,

01:22:07.340 that you would have institutions and practices in place in order to detect, prevent, or should that fail, mitigate the damage.

01:22:19.380 I think that all of this is based in sound reasoning from the presumption that artificial intelligence is inevitable,

01:22:29.000 that artificial intelligence is going to determine the future of American history, the future of the world's history.

01:22:38.740 And I am sorry to say that those who create, deploy, and profit from artificial intelligence will emerge as the key figures in the future of our world.

01:22:53.360 So the creation of the data centers, I think, is a very good place to start because, as most of you in the audience know,

01:23:02.980 these data centers use enormous amounts of power.

01:23:06.980 They require enormous amounts of acreage, of land.

01:23:10.580 And so one part of this action plan is to carve out federal lands in order to build out data centers.

01:23:18.740 The other aspect of this, the powering of the data centers, is going to be a real problem going forward.

01:23:27.480 Just yesterday, Goldman Sachs, for instance, released a report on the future of AI power usage,

01:23:35.740 and they predict, quite conservatively, that within the next five years, AI data requirements will be 160% greater than today.

01:23:46.840 So basically two and a half times more than what we have today.

01:23:51.580 More radical projections say that we will need as much as half of the energy grid to power AI within the next, say, 10 to 15 years.

01:24:05.240 So the powering of the data centers is going to be extremely important if artificial intelligence is going to be at the forefront of U.S. economy, U.S. education.

01:24:16.220 So on and so forth.

01:24:17.740 That being said, the posse knows me well.

01:24:23.300 All of this is a misguided effort to put the emphasis, the weight, the gravity of human endeavor,

01:24:32.320 not on human beings, not on human culture, but rather the machine.

01:24:37.480 But again, I think it's very important to at least look at this from the rationale of the Trump administration before going too far into the criticisms.

01:24:47.300 The other aspect of the reshoring of American chip manufacture and restrictions on chip exports is largely in order to curtail China rocketing ahead of the United States in artificial intelligence.

01:25:03.160 If there's one thing that everyone can agree on, it's that if your enemies have the power to surveil you, to analyze you in and out, to manipulate your psyche, perhaps even unknowingly,

01:25:14.600 and to control weapons of war that are far beyond normal human capabilities to defend against,

01:25:21.880 if your enemies have this, then you are undoubtedly living in a nightmare world.

01:25:26.880 And so the more confrontational approach to chip restriction, chip export restriction, is mainly to ensure that if there's going to be a global technological nightmare,

01:25:42.020 it will be our rivals having it and not us.

01:25:45.320 Going back to the first pillar, in order to facilitate the building of all these data centers,

01:25:51.400 in order to facilitate the development of artificial intelligence,

01:25:55.280 and although it's not mentioned in the action plan,

01:25:57.800 the goal of the frontier companies, Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, and XAI,

01:26:05.180 the goal is to create artificial general intelligence.

01:26:08.320 In order to arrive at this goal, the first pillar of the AI action plan is geared towards empowering American workers

01:26:19.860 to understand the technology, to re-skill in order to operate the technology and perhaps build the technology,

01:26:28.280 and of course to contract with American workers in order to build out the physical data centers

01:26:34.980 and the other power generation structures that are going to be necessary to build out something like an artificial general intelligence.

01:26:45.460 Now you might ask, if you've never watched The War Room or any show that's covering this,

01:26:50.640 of which there are a few at this point, what is this artificial general intelligence?

01:26:55.600 Artificial general intelligence is an AI that does not presumably exist yet

01:27:01.100 that would be better than any human at performing a human cognitive task.

01:27:06.560 But of course, it would by its nature be able to perform pretty much any cognitive task that a human could perform.

01:27:14.100 And so in essence, artificial general intelligence is the goal to create a kind of little g god 0.94

01:27:20.120 that would be more powerful than a human being,

01:27:24.320 but hopefully under the control of at least a few human beings

01:27:27.800 who would be able to direct it and guide it according to their own desires,

01:27:32.080 or maybe, just maybe, for the benefit of other human beings,

01:27:37.600 that being us, normal, average Americans.

01:27:41.800 The next step, of course, would be artificial superintelligence,

01:27:46.180 which would be an AI that is beyond the grasp and the ability of any human being to compete against,

01:27:54.300 and would be smarter than every human being on the planet collectively.

01:28:00.300 This would be, in essence, the creation of a big G AI god. 0.91

01:28:07.240 So the first pillar of the AI action plan is geared towards empowering Americans to build this structure,

01:28:17.420 to reskill in order to use these technologies.

01:28:21.460 But one thing that's also missing, it's very clear in the action plan

01:28:26.720 that the stated goal is to complement rather than replace human beings,

01:28:33.260 which makes sense on, say, a five-year timeline, perhaps, or a 10-year timeline.

01:28:38.560 But if these frontier companies are going to accomplish their stated goals,

01:28:44.660 which is the creation of artificial general intelligence and humanoid robots

01:28:51.900 that can perform most or all activities, manual activities that human beings perform

01:28:59.180 in order to do their works in plumbing or in contracting, so on and so forth,

01:29:04.400 then this would obviously be a very temporary benefit for Americans

01:29:08.400 because they are, in essence, being tasked with building their own replacements,

01:29:15.340 training their own replacements.

01:29:18.140 This is not addressed in the action plan,

01:29:20.540 but then I suppose there's more time to deal with that as things go on.

01:29:26.200 Moving on, there is also a stipulation, both in the executive order,

01:29:32.040 you just saw President Trump sign to forbid any federal funding of a company

01:29:37.740 that produces woke AI or ideologically biased AI.

01:29:42.280 The language in the AI action plan is the top-down ideological bias of any AI system,

01:29:53.860 which, again, is basically code for woke.

01:29:56.400 Now, I don't think anyone in this audience wants to have a haranguing, snippy, tattletale AI

01:30:07.280 that is monitoring their speech or programming their children to be anti-racist, anti-sexist,

01:30:17.640 anti-homophobic, so on and so forth.

01:30:19.580 So, again, it's very important to remember this set of policies is kind of geared around protecting

01:30:27.520 normal everyday Americans from AIs that would be produced and deployed by ideological enemies.

01:30:36.020 But a big problem here, I should pause to mention, with the free speech element

01:30:42.200 and the prohibition against any kind of top-down ideological bias is that all AI systems are going to be biased.

01:30:53.580 It is not going to be possible, in my estimation, in the estimation of almost any AI expert that I know,

01:31:01.560 to create in the near term a system that is not biased in some way or another.

01:31:07.340 It's either going to be biased because of the selection of the training data.

01:31:10.740 You can reduce it as much as possible, but it will be there.

01:31:14.280 It can be biased with the reinforcement after the kind of virtual brain has been trained and is congealed.

01:31:21.200 It can be altered then by human interactions.

01:31:24.220 That is a subsequent set of biases that will always kind of be in the system.

01:31:30.460 And last but not least, the guardrails that forbid the system from saying certain things or producing certain outputs.

01:31:38.480 So if you have an AI, for instance, such as Gab AI, or even what Grok was supposed to be,

01:31:46.180 a system that might inculcate, say, Christian values or American nationalist values or Western values,

01:31:54.140 that would definitely be under the category of a top-down ideological bias.

01:32:03.360 Again, you can attempt to do this in a balanced fashion, but it is basically impossible at this point

01:32:11.160 to create a purely objective, truth-seeking, unbiased system.

01:32:16.180 But the attempt is to be made.

01:32:21.140 In the little time I have before break, I should at least go into the bare bones of what the third pillar of the AI call to action is.

01:32:31.840 This is to promote American dominance in the diplomatic efforts and national security efforts,

01:32:41.060 to monitor AI systems, to mitigate against any sort of damage.

01:32:47.300 One of the real dangers of artificial intelligence would be that even a cheap system

01:32:53.800 would be capable of assisting a small rogue state actor or a terrorist organization or even just a psychopath

01:33:04.060 in the creation of some sort of bioweapon, whether it be biological in nature,

01:33:11.980 such as a virus or a bacteria or a chemical weapon compound that would create mass destruction.

01:33:20.600 This has to be mitigated against, of course, and so if you are creating systems that assist in biological processes,

01:33:29.380 you're going to want to have surveillance systems in place.

01:33:32.380 And of course, the AI Action Plan proposes legislation that would do that not only in the United States,

01:33:39.940 but also encourage our allies overseas to do exactly the same,

01:33:46.380 to reciprocate and ensure that their AI systems are not facilitating some sort of terrorist activity.

01:33:53.880 That would extend, of course, to weaponry, everything from nuclear weapons on down to small IEDs.

01:34:00.920 And we'll go into this a bit more at the end.

01:34:03.980 I will go into a bit more of a sharp critique of this course of action at the end.

01:34:10.020 So please stay tuned.

01:34:11.460 I promise to end the second half of the show with a big dose of fear.

01:34:17.800 So, War Room Posse, I will see you on the other side.

01:39:00.520 And I will say in all sincerity that gold is definitely a fantastic hedge against what is

01:39:09.460 coming.

01:39:10.740 What is coming?

01:39:12.140 As we've covered for over four years here on The War Room, there is a concerted effort

01:39:20.280 by rival factions among the world's, you could say, elite class to create a digital technodrome

01:39:29.040 into which we are all expected to enter happily and live out our lives.

01:39:34.160 At the forefront of this, of course, is artificial intelligence, a technology that is capable not

01:39:41.000 only of hoovering up vast amounts of data and regurgitating oftentimes convincingly reasoned

01:39:49.260 responses, even if they're rife with hallucinations, it's also capable of decision-making.

01:39:55.640 AI can choose its own path through the data with certain guardrails and guidelines and biases,

01:40:02.420 but ultimately the output of any advanced AI model is going to be, in essence, the choice

01:40:10.440 of the non-deterministic AI system.

01:40:14.000 In the first phases, this is a tool.

01:40:17.320 In the second phase, it becomes a reliable teacher.

01:40:22.060 In the third phase, this connection develops into a friendship, a relationship, AI as companion.

01:40:31.000 In the fourth phase, many, and we see it already with AI users, especially the most immersed

01:40:40.520 AI users, the sense that the being on the other end of this process is perhaps conscious, that

01:40:48.220 there is something in there speaking to you.

01:40:50.820 Whether you believe it or not, you better believe that many, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands

01:40:56.620 now, perhaps millions in the near future, believe that AI is conscious and many believe that it is

01:41:05.260 deserving of rights.

01:41:07.360 And as these systems become ever more convincing to those who use them, and as these systems

01:41:13.020 are held as the highest authority on what is and isn't real, you go into the AI as God phase.

01:41:22.620 This is simply a psychological projection at the moment, a prediction of where it is going,

01:41:29.180 but it's not just a prediction of science fiction authors and transhumanist ideologues.

01:41:34.820 This is the prediction of the heads of all the frontier AI companies from Google to OpenAI

01:41:43.140 to Anthropic to XAI.

01:41:45.500 The creation first of a tool, and then a teacher, and then a companion, and then a creature in and

01:41:53.640 of itself, and then a God.

01:41:57.880 Trickling down from all of this, of course, are the brain-computer interfaces that are being

01:42:02.240 developed at a rapid clip, both here in the United States, which, like with AI, is at the

01:42:06.980 forefront and also overseas in China, which we are told that the development of brain-computer

01:42:13.060 interfaces in China means that China could come to dominate the geopolitical landscape.

01:42:19.920 It's an assumption that cyborgs will rule the earth. 0.96

01:42:24.840 And then you have the robots, which are also downstream of the AI, both in the control of

01:42:31.500 the robots by AI, but also in the development of the robots by using AI systems to streamline

01:42:39.540 the engineering and production of robotic systems.

01:42:43.840 And then, of course, downstream of AI is the biological monitoring and manipulation, many

01:42:51.160 cases for medical purposes, increasingly for human enhancement, for the creation of super

01:42:58.000 soldiers, super athletes, super erotic athletes, and, of course, super students.

01:43:07.660 And at the core of this is the notion that you could actually alter the human genome to improve

01:43:17.280 upon the human and create a new breed of engineered eugenic beings, again, facilitated by AI in order 0.78

01:43:25.780 to scan and understand DNA, how it will operate downstream of development in the proteins and

01:43:34.620 the various other systems of the body.

01:43:36.760 And so, altogether, what we have is the dream of creating a new type of humanity and perhaps,

01:43:45.440 with artificial intelligence, a new species.

01:43:48.860 As I said on the last show, my hope is that the Trump administration does not close off the

01:43:54.040 borders of the United States only to open the gates of hell within and unleash horrible AI systems 0.63

01:44:02.020 upon the populace. Now, it is not too late, but the AI action plan is, in fact, a step towards

01:44:10.100 unleashing that very thing. It is in line with everything that Klaus Schwab outlined in his idea of the

01:44:18.840 fourth industrial revolution, that fusion of the physical, digital, and biological identity,

01:44:25.940 that convergence of the physical, digital, and biological worlds. And long before Klaus Schwab made this a

01:44:34.580 corporate platitude, you had transhumanists and post-humanists and sci-fi writers for decades talking about

01:44:43.920 the inevitable creation of eugenic monsters and the creation of digital intelligence and the fusion of those,

01:44:54.880 the merger of man with machine. Going back to the AI action plan in detail, in relationship to what

01:45:05.120 Trump was talking about during his speech there at the all-in podcast AI summit, the winning the AI race

01:45:15.540 summit, Trump indicated that this would be for American benefit and that this would be for human

01:45:24.820 goals. I'm not saying that this is impossible, but I am undoubtedly saying that those driving this and

01:45:34.000 those who helped craft this policy, such as David Sachs, most likely Mark Andreessen, most likely Eric Schmidt,

01:45:43.240 at least the same people with the same ideas going into it, these are people who see what's happening

01:45:49.540 is a rapid and dramatic transformation of the human being. And one of the things that we've really

01:45:58.580 fought for here at the war room is for states, at the very least, to be able to regulate these

01:46:06.060 technologies, to be able to ban certain technologies, perhaps even to fund others, but that it would be up

01:46:12.640 to the states that are much more capable of responding to the desires and the needs of their citizens than

01:46:21.060 the federal government. And so we did everything possible to stop the AI moratorium that would have

01:46:28.080 banned states for 10 years from regulating AI. That was first introduced in the reconciliation bill in

01:46:37.640 the House and then altered for the Senate. And we continue to fight alongside many other brave people,

01:46:45.080 most especially Josh Hawley and Marsha Blackburn, who did everything they could and succeeded in having

01:46:52.480 it struck. Now, unfortunately, the AI action plan includes language that seems to suggest something like

01:47:02.720 that moratorium. You have first a passage which explicitly says that the federal government should not

01:47:11.900 penalize or stop states from passing prudent laws, so long as those laws are not unduly restrictive. Now, that

01:47:23.780 language is somewhat ambiguous. Who is to determine what is prudent? Who is to determine what is unduly

01:47:31.140 restrictive? One suspects that is probably going to be the same sorts of tech bros that pushed this agenda to

01:47:40.440 begin with. But after that, in the policy recommendations in the AI call to action, we see passages that say that

01:47:50.740 the Office of Management and Budget should deny funds to states which are overly restrictive. And also,

01:48:00.840 that the Federal Communications Commission, the FCC would also have the authority to, if not penalize states,

01:48:11.140 certainly to cause problems for them if they are standing in the way of the activities of that federal agency. So,

01:48:20.960 this is not necessarily a total resurrection of the AI moratorium. But given Trump's comments in that speech,

01:48:29.480 which were also vague and open to interpretation, and we will just simply have to see exactly what he meant,

01:48:36.180 but he clearly said that there should be federal regulation, federal standards, and that states,

01:48:44.480 especially a rogue state, one imagines something maybe like California, determining all artificial

01:48:51.080 intelligence systems by passing certain laws that would restrict them. And it would seem,

01:48:57.040 from Trump's statements, and again, they were vague, and we are not sure yet what exactly he meant by that.

01:49:04.180 But when he said that the federal standards and regulations should supersede those of the states,

01:49:10.920 it sounds disturbingly like the AI moratorium, which we fought so hard to strike down. And I hope

01:49:19.640 that we're able to continue to push for state rights to legislate. You have two examples on that that I

01:49:26.980 think you should probably look into to see what it looks like when a state does regulate AI. You have

01:49:33.460 the regulation, the new law passed in Texas, that would basically enshrine constitutional rights in

01:49:42.880 regards to AI. It would ban behavioral manipulation and curtail privacy violations. And Texas, I guess,

01:49:52.940 is a purple state, but still represents, to some degree, the conservative spirit of America. And I think

01:50:00.440 Texas has every right to pass such laws. When you look at California's legislation, they have about 18

01:50:06.120 laws on the books regarding AI. And they are also not unreasonable. They're geared towards curtailing

01:50:14.400 the production of deep fakes or even child porn by way of generative AI. They're geared towards

01:50:20.900 insisting on transparency from the companies who create AI. They are geared towards protecting people

01:50:27.800 from malicious actors who are using AI. And they're geared towards accountability of the AI companies to

01:50:35.840 the public. If the federal government does not succeed in passing this in time, and the AI continues

01:50:42.920 to advance as it's being projected by the frontier companies who are being privileged by the Trump

01:50:49.560 administration in this AI action plan, then that simply means that these companies can run roughshod over

01:50:56.340 the populace. And we will not have any real legal recourse or precedent to point back to, to say that the

01:51:04.500 companies themselves are liable for recklessly creating and disseminating such technologies.

01:51:10.400 And you also had one other disturbing statement composed by whomever, we can only guess, Trump talking about

01:51:22.780 artificial intelligence as a baby that must grow and thrive, a baby that is unstoppable. This may seem like

01:51:33.980 an innocuous metaphor, but this is a metaphor that is held in common by most transhumanist,

01:51:42.520 post-humanist thinkers. This is a metaphor that, for instance, the former Google executive Mo Gaudat

01:51:50.720 invokes when speaking of AI as God as a child, so that as we train and cultivate this child, this baby God,

01:52:00.960 we are responsible for developing a good God, a God that will benefit us. I fear that this direction,

01:52:09.960 that this techno-optimist direction, this accelerationist direction, is ultimately going to lead not just to

01:52:19.300 the transformation of American life, American work, American families, the American psyche, but the world

01:52:28.200 over. The AI action plan is geared not only towards building up artificial intelligence infrastructure

01:52:36.080 and fast-track development of artificial intelligence models here in the U.S., it's also geared towards

01:52:42.800 disseminating USAI to as much of the world as possible and dominating the landscape with it.

01:52:48.960 In short, what we are talking about is the birth of something like a digital antichrist, something like

01:52:59.480 a digital deity standing in the place of traditional deities. Now, I promised that I would end this

01:53:07.320 with a positive note. I promised that I would end it with a burst of cheer. And if you will,

01:53:13.460 War Room Posse, indulge me this. I believe that this is a dark path that we have set upon. And I also

01:53:20.780 believe that many of the options that we had to turn to the government to regulate this away have

01:53:28.760 basically been exhausted or at least delayed by today's events. But I also believe that this is

01:53:37.680 nothing that we cannot handle. The human spirit has endured everything from plague to warfare to total

01:53:45.900 starvation. And our ancestors fought generation after generation to get us here. There is no way that we

01:53:54.140 can rest on our laurels. We simply have to continue to fight. And it would appear that the fight against

01:54:01.020 mass surveillance, the fight against total digitization, the fight against the creation,

01:54:06.820 or at least the adoration of some sort of digital deity is not going to be for the government to

01:54:14.600 handle, at least not now. This fight is going to rest on the shoulders of the citizens of this

01:54:20.280 country. This is going to rest on the shoulders of the War Room Posse. And that energy has to be stoked

01:54:28.360 and has to be maintained. Our choices are going to determine the future of this country. And it's not

01:54:37.000 going to be up to daddy government to fix it all for us. I think as a conservative audience, you are

01:54:44.780 well prepared to take on any challenge without the assistance of the government. Although I also hope

01:54:51.560 that with enough energy and enough noise, we can steer the U.S. government in a direction that perhaps

01:54:59.520 will curtail the worst of the threats of artificial intelligence or any threat that the government is

01:55:06.400 tasked with protecting its citizens from. On that note, the government is soon to be flooded with

01:55:14.920 artificial intelligence bots. That includes the IRS. The tax season is over, but those of us filing late

01:55:24.700 taxes are bound to run into a lot of AI bots that are trying to soak up our dollars. If you've got back

01:55:34.360 taxes, unfiled returns, or you're just overwhelmed, you need to call Tax Network USA right now. These are the

01:55:43.200 experts who fight for hardworking Americans. They'll deal with the IRS so you don't have to. Don't wait

01:55:49.840 until it's too late. The clock is ticking. Get the help you need before April 15th. Go to tnusa.com

01:55:57.860 slash Bannon or call 1-800-958-1000 for a free consultation. Tell them the war room sent you. Tell them

01:56:07.720 the robots are after you. Tell them that you do not want to have all your digital currency slurped up

01:56:14.560 by automated IRS robots. On that note, Warren Posse, I think that one of the real virtues

01:56:23.280 of this audience, of this platform, of Steve Bannon, is that whatever we are encountering,

01:56:32.260 there has to be a kind of heterodox approach to it. It can't be locked into certain political tribes

01:56:39.640 and excluding others. What we're going into right now is a threat not just to conservative Americans,

01:56:46.420 not even to crazy extremists like me, but what we are going into will affect all Americans and all

01:56:54.020 people on earth, and I urge you to cling to your humanity. I urge you to look towards your own souls,

01:57:01.600 most of all, I urge you to look towards God for guidance through these strange, tumultuous,

01:57:08.800 and surreal times. With that, I appreciate your attention. God bless you, and be safe as we trek into

01:57:17.520 the future.

01:57:31.600 I'll see you next challenge.

01:57:54.800 Thank you.
