Transcript
00:00:07.520
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:00:12.760
You've just not got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:00:20.380
I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:00:24.300
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:00:28.620
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:34.520
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:38.260
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:53.180
Okay, welcome. It's Tuesday, 9th, December, in the year of our Lord, 2025.
00:00:56.940
You're looking there, right there, at the Mount Airy Casino.
00:01:02.580
I guess the Poconos can see, but outside Scranton, Pennsylvania.
00:01:14.720
We did all the analysis of, you know, he was Joe from Scranton.
00:01:21.960
This is how they tried to make Biden a populist.
00:01:26.460
It's a guy from Delaware, the corporate capital of America, Wilmington, Delaware.
00:01:32.980
They would never allow that to be talked about in the 2020 campaign.
00:01:55.300
If we have audio, as soon as we have audio, I want to hear the national anthem and all that.
00:02:25.900
The president's going to go very cramped, jam-packed.
00:02:28.980
If you saw earlier, massive trial to get in here.
00:02:33.060
We'll go to the stage as soon as they're going to have some pregame.
00:02:35.840
Scott Besson is there, the secretary of treasury.
00:02:46.900
Please welcome local first responder, Kyle Kashuk.
00:03:16.620
I am a born and raised Pennsylvania and working as a police officer and volunteer firefighter
00:03:21.960
just 10 minutes away from my childhood home in Luzerne County.
00:03:37.860
But for first responders, overtime is a reality of the job.
00:03:41.420
Communities depend on us to be there in a crisis, whether it happens at Sunday at 3 p.m. or Tuesday at 3 a.m.
00:03:49.360
I am proud of the work I do, and I'm happy to do it.
00:03:54.220
But knowing now that this work isn't going to be taxed, well, that really goes a long way.
00:04:00.280
Congressman Bresnahan helped pass the historic legislation President Trump signed
00:04:04.780
that is going to put more money in the pockets of working families and first responders like me.
00:04:17.900
Making overtime tax-free helps us stretch our paychecks further at a time when everything feels more expensive.
00:04:24.540
The extra money in my pocket is going towards putting down roots, buying a house, and starting a family.
00:04:43.000
We're going to try to get some helicopter shots.
00:04:46.220
And, of course, the president is going to obviously, when he gets there, as we take you through these.
00:04:51.920
Can we just take that down just one more notch?
00:04:55.640
I'm going to produce, direct, and star in this today.
00:04:59.500
We've also got Ernie Preet is going to join as soon as he gets up on the riser.
00:05:06.720
There's going to be some talks beforehand, some commentary from local congressmen.
00:05:11.300
Remember, there are two congressional seats in play up here.
00:05:18.020
Scranton, geo-strategically, when you talk about national elections, it's kind of a bellwether.
00:05:24.780
Pennsylvania is a swing state and a bellwether state.
00:05:27.940
And, of course, Scranton has a strong America First following of the president.
00:05:38.220
But they made a big deal about Joe Biden being the populist from Scranton.
00:05:44.820
I think he spent a minute there when he was born, really from Delaware, the corporate box.
00:05:49.700
The president today, and you saw in the background, when we go back to the shot, the establishing shot, I'll show you.
00:05:57.720
They've got a phrase in the background about making prices lower, making prices affordable.
00:06:02.080
Two things that this is going to talk about today.
00:06:05.640
One is obviously affordability, but you don't want to walk into that trap because you have cumulative inflation under Biden at 21 percent.
00:06:13.000
It's going to be very, very difficult to basically get those prices down, even with President Trump's full spectrum energy dominance, other things he's doing on the supply chain, direct action.
00:06:25.660
It is possible to stop the rate of inflation or to get that down.
00:06:29.380
And I think that's what the Secretary of Treasury, Scott Besson, is working on with the president.
00:06:34.460
The other part, as we continue to say, I think the much bigger payoff, particularly if you look at the Secretary of Treasury, what he's telling us is that the big, beautiful bill, the supply-side tax cut, plus the trade and tariffs with – what do we have there?
00:06:58.180
Okay, that's the – we took Air Force One up there, and now we've taken a helicopter in.
00:07:54.680
our own brian glenn is with him we'll get a report uh let's go ahead and come back to me
00:08:04.760
um we'll get to brian glenn as soon as we get him up on uh traveling with the president today
00:08:11.720
this economic speech the president has made a decision to president trump is saying hey i've
00:08:16.540
heard a lot of people talk and you know i'm not paying enough attention domestic i'm going to go
00:08:20.920
on the road and sell this myself president trump i think feels that he's the best salesman for his
00:08:25.820
economic program a big part of the sales uh the sales pitch today is to focus on what's happened
00:08:31.720
on the big beautiful bill particularly on the investment side the capital investment to bring
00:08:37.180
back manufacturing jobs obviously pennsylvania in the scranton area being a uh around a manufacturing
00:08:44.320
hub this is very very important the the write-off uh president trump has given people the depreciation
00:08:49.460
president trump has given people um the other is tariff and trade they're trying to blame inflation
00:08:55.880
on tariffs nothing could be farther uh from the uh from the truth the tariffs are generating uh i think
00:09:02.620
quite frankly very surprising returns to treasury scott benson will tell you that but that's not the
00:09:08.880
purpose of the tariffs the tariffs are a forcing function to drive manufacturing back here to the
00:09:14.700
united states from uh international uh companies and other countries uh you have to if you don't
00:09:21.560
bring your manufacturing back to the united states you'll pay a you'll pay a tariff you'll pay a
00:09:25.560
tolling fee to get access to the most lucrative consumer market in the world it's just pretty
00:09:30.200
straightforward those are two massive bets we for 50 or 60 years we've allowed trade and manufacturing
00:09:37.720
or really manufacturing to atrophy and therefore we've had these massive trade deficits and people
00:09:43.480
on wall street and the elites just laughed at lou dobbs and others peter navarro myself and others
00:09:49.140
to talk about trade deficits and how big i think the trade deficit is something like 24 trillion dollars
00:09:54.900
right now and how they laugh that oh that's just an accounting convention it's not accounting convention
00:09:59.440
that all has to be financed if you have negative trade balances somehow you've got to finance the
00:10:04.160
purchases from the american people so that's basically your resources going out and stuff coming in
00:10:12.820
you've got to uh you've got to balance that uh it's it's very logical it's fought all the time
00:10:18.340
by wall street wall street hates to talk about it president trump is the first to really talk about it and
00:10:24.120
this time in his second term he had the opportunity to do something about it now he's getting uh a full-on
00:10:30.040
volley from uh the haters every day the economists uh the business types that hate uh that hate uh fair
00:10:37.980
trade and want to go back to the system that we were just ripped off all the time president trump
00:10:42.940
and the national security memorandum they just put on a friday talked about it's the first time really
00:10:46.800
as we've said before you focus on your trade and uh and and and deficits along with uh your national
00:10:54.680
security in nato we pay essentially we we underwrite their security and on all the trade deals over
00:11:01.920
there we were upside down particularly as they as they negotiate uh a lot just on the the whole
00:11:07.540
you're for the eu we were upside down and upside down with different nations and particularly on
00:11:12.720
different things whether it's cars in germany or other manufactured goods that were made throughout
00:11:17.660
the rest of europe and president trump says we're not going to do that anymore we're going to get a
00:11:21.020
trade deal that's going to help balance what we do in paying for your national security and this
00:11:25.640
national security memo they put out on thursday night friday morning he said hey look here's the
00:11:30.500
problem we don't even know we have no idea who's going to be in charge in 30 years because we look
00:11:36.400
at or 20 or 30 years because we look at what's happening to your countries we look at this flood
00:11:41.180
of uh of illegal migration he said again to dasha burns on political and it has the entire european
00:11:47.760
uh group uh with their heads blown up president trump that's why he's going to scranton today kicks
00:11:54.480
off at least an end of year and you're going to see it next year at the beginning of the year
00:11:58.060
president trump going on the road and explaining to the american people in a very straightforward
00:12:02.500
language here's what i've done economically he gave him he gave himself a grade this morning for
00:12:09.360
the economy of a plus plus plus plus uh and i like i said reporters talked about how could trump do that
00:12:15.880
i said listen he is the architect he's the architect of of this economic plan scott besant and others
00:12:22.940
navarro are kind of the engineers to come in and help execute on his plan but his plan is very
00:12:28.760
straightforward he's going to make america great again by bringing back manufacturing uh jobs the
00:12:35.860
united states how's he going to do that he's going to get capital invested in the united states he's going
00:12:40.300
to give quite frankly very attractive tax benefits to companies that will invest now and invest in plant
00:12:48.840
and equipment for high value added manufacturing jobs in addition on the world's commercial
00:12:53.800
relationships and these trade deals he will go is from liberation day i think to april until today
00:13:00.660
have teams you know howard lutnik leading some uh uh jameson greer the trade rep heading others scott
00:13:08.120
besson secretary treasurer really working on the china deal to head those to make sure that he's trying
00:13:13.340
to negotiate as rapidly as possible not over a number of years but within 10 months to a year
00:13:19.520
trade deals that then give countries an option if you're going to invest here in the united states
00:13:24.640
you can avoid the tariffs if you're not going to invest in the united states that's fine but you're
00:13:29.560
going to pay a different tariff structure for different uh categories of uh of goods and service
00:13:35.180
services now president trump keeps pointing to 18 trillion dollars has been agreed to
00:13:39.580
to come and invest if even a trillion dollars that is spent in the first part of next year
00:13:45.600
you're going to have an economic boom like this country's never seen before and you've had the
00:13:49.680
corporations taking advantage of the tax benefits of the big beautiful bill not the you know not
00:13:56.120
billionaires getting tax cuts companies incentivized to invest in plant equipment that workers today
00:14:03.740
and in future generations are going to have a great great opportunity to really work
00:14:08.140
and what america's best at high value added manufacturing of course now we're into this
00:14:14.080
whole situation with artificial intelligence president trump who sees it one way is looking at
00:14:19.160
uh at least as he's briefed by a jensen wong and these people that united states will dominate
00:14:24.660
uh not just with us having these chips but with china actually having chips also now there's a lot of
00:14:30.480
people that beg to differ with that uh we're going to have uh michael sobolik sobolik from the hudson
00:14:36.320
institute next hour we're going to walk through details of what the chinese communist party's been
00:14:41.800
up to so there's a lot of questions there anyway the president united states is in scranton
00:14:45.780

00:15:11.560
inflation still too high the u.s dollar is still too weak and the government debt is insurmountable

now time for you to fully understand why gold has been a hedge for 5 000 years of mankind's history
00:17:45.460
against times of financial turbulence we're clearly going through some financial turbulence
00:17:50.160
throughout the world this is why president trump's coming up today to address the folks in scranton
00:17:56.380
pennsylvania which is one of the key parts when you look at any kind of electoral analysis how
00:18:03.260
scranton goes is often how pennsylvania goes and so goes the nation pennsylvania is kind of like
00:18:08.560

check it out birchgold.com philip patrick the team ernie preate joins us from the arena there from
00:18:59.860
the casino mount airy casino in scranton pennsylvania first off uh ernie uh we couldn't
00:19:05.260
catch up with you on your on the 250th uh anniversary of the united states marine corps
00:19:10.940
before we talk about the speech and about scranton talk to us about the marines you were with that
00:19:15.500
weekend uh a bunch of vietnam vets uh what uh what happened well thank you very much steve for having
00:19:23.920
me back on and uh yeah we had our 250th anniversary uh the marine corps birthday on november 10th and
00:19:31.480
we celebrated in philadelphia with my mike 37 combat unit from vietnam which i was a second lieutenant in
00:19:38.240
and uh we had a great reunion and uh was attended by several generals who were from from our company that
00:19:46.120
made it to the higher ranks lieutenant general paul van ryper and and brigadier general tom drowdy and
00:19:52.580
uh the marine corps is uh in a state of flux right now and so we're trying to keep it to be the fighting
00:19:58.220
force that it's always been for america preserving the sacred honor of this country it seems like
00:20:04.920
every time they come to a budget the marine corps is always in flux so we'll make sure we have the
00:20:09.060
marine corps back in this what was a general uh temper or take of the men that you served within
00:20:15.060
vietnam and gave so much in vietnam about the state of the country today as they see it ernie
00:20:20.240
well we're we're the state of the country back then was we got home and nobody even wanted to
00:20:26.660
talk to us they spit on us but now they want to talk to vietnam veterans because they seem like they
00:20:31.500
have a lot of sense and went through a lot of hard times and the sacrifice so much we one of the
00:20:36.280
you know 68 000 uh people were killed in the armed forces over there and so it was was not an
00:20:43.460
insignificant uh battle for us but today the the the energy that we're seeing in in america is
00:20:50.700
because it's president trump uh we're seeing republicans for example registering democrats
00:20:56.740
in pennsylvania enormously we're almost tied with them now this is eight eight a couple three years
00:21:01.680
ago we're 800 000 down now we're almost even uh the other thing that's important about pennsylvania
00:21:07.100
is that we got farmers here and that farm bill is really important to us uh we needed to get that
00:21:13.380
soybeans out there we need to get that sorghum and uh out to china and that was accomplished by
00:21:18.700
president trump and the secretary besant did it was doing a terrific job in negotiating with the
00:21:24.340
chinese the next thing we know is we've got all the uh the gas and in the world that we need here
00:21:29.580
with the with the with the marcellus shale the utica shale it's right there we could be the energy
00:21:34.400
capital of the whole world and all we have to do is build the ships to take it over europe and that's
00:21:40.040
what we're going to try to do that's what scott besant did he got the south koreans to agree to
00:21:44.700
use the philadelphia naval base as the reconstruction base for the for the building of these lng tankers
00:21:50.120
have a whole convoy like we had in world war ii going over to europe and and just think about that
00:21:55.740
you re-energize the south philadelphia naval base and you make it the the greatest naval base in in in in
00:22:03.480
the east coast uh and it'll be the center point for bringing natural gas from pennsylvania over to
00:22:09.360
europe and save them from the soviets that's those are just important things that we do that the
00:22:14.880
president has done here in this country well talk to us about scranton why does everybody focus on
00:22:19.940
scranton as you remember in 20 in 2016 when we were going to pierce the blue wall scrant was one of the
00:22:25.600
places that we focused on we kind of caught clinton then by surprise because they didn't focus on
00:22:29.980
scranton in 2020 everybody focused on scranton it was the number one place people looked at
00:22:34.540
joe biden made up this big legacy that he was joe from scranton uh etc why is scranton pennsylvania so
00:22:41.620
important well scranton's important because it's a cross-section of america uh if you know you can
00:22:49.900
sell it in scranton you can sell it anywhere but the important thing is here that we got people who are
00:22:54.720
people who are poor and and we have people who are rich and we have people in between
00:22:59.960
and it's a it's a good rural suburban area and it's important or as a bellwether as to what's
00:23:05.620
going to happen in the economy right now we're still a little suffering here we still got prices
00:23:10.000
too high the president's trying to address that we still got gas prices a little bit too high still
00:23:15.500
got to address that still got inflation and the biggest thing is we still have interest rates that
00:23:21.280
are too high and i hope the federal reserve tomorrow gets its act in gear and gets a cut side starts
00:23:26.240
cutting those interest rates so we can sell more homes more people can buy mortgages what's the
00:23:32.180
general temper of of voters right now in pennsylvania particularly people that supported
00:23:36.260
president trump what what what how do they think we're doing well trump is trump is in a flux right
00:23:44.220
now because he's made a lot of promises he's trying to deliver he's working to get them delivered
00:23:49.920
making these trade agreements all over the the world uh including with the chinese so he can get those
00:23:55.820
magnets to work our rare earth minerals those are important for us uh and and we have to have
00:24:01.680
we have to have the people recognize that what he's doing to try to bring peace to the world
00:24:07.420
is is significant for humanity uh and it's been it's been very difficult because he's doing so much
00:24:14.040
he can all these other things that he's accomplished when get lost in the details and people don't
00:24:18.000
recognize it but the the next year the most important thing i want to get across is this
00:24:22.840
next year the the big beautiful bill kicks in oh the no taxes and the reduced taxes and most the
00:24:30.120
other thing is this is that people forget about that there's a lot of refunds going to be coming
00:24:35.180
back in in the first quarter of this coming year and that's going to be a tremendous stimulus to the
00:24:41.200
economy and so so you're going to have the the big beautiful bill going into effect you're going to
00:24:46.640
have the the uh the refunds coming back to people as a stimulus and you're going to have these trade
00:24:51.760
agreements kicking in so by the second term second quarter of this coming year we're going to be a
00:24:56.760
we're going to be roaring this country's going to be exploding and that's what president trump is in
00:25:01.520

00:34:03.540
stage secretary treasury scott bessen good and the uh thank you all it's good to be back in pennsylvania
00:34:24.180
i hear scranton is sleepy joe biden's hometown but it's but as far as i can tell this is trump country
00:34:39.060
pennsylvanians elected president trump for a second term because they had had enough of a president who
00:34:44.660
put america last biden and his biden and his auto pen were the chief architects of the worst inflation
00:34:53.780
biden inflation in a generation his administration made life impossible expensive for american families
00:35:02.820
through a toxic mix of what i call the three eyes immigration interest rates and inflation
00:35:11.220
biden's immigration free-for-all was among the greatest abuses of power ever imposed on the american
00:35:22.900
by allowing 10 to 20 million illegal aliens into the country against the will of voters the last
00:35:30.180
administration stole both jobs and homes from american families home prices and rents soared as
00:35:38.820
millions of illegal aliens who were never supposed to be here in the first place competed for housing
00:35:45.300
and wages cratered from the glut of new labor supply biden's open borders effectively created a black market
00:35:54.820
in labor that kept wages for working americans artificially suppressed
00:36:01.460
thousands of our own citizens suddenly found themselves out of work or working a job that
00:36:07.220
barely paid the rent at the same time they saw their rent costs climbing higher why because they now
00:36:15.140
had to compete for a limited number of homes against a seemingly unlimited number of illegals
00:36:22.420
that's right donald trump stood above the endless stream of illegal immigration yelling stop stop
00:36:33.940
and this is why pennsylvania and americans voted for him in a landslide president trump promised to secure the border
00:36:47.620
and return american jobs and homes to american citizens through the largest deportation effort of the century
00:36:55.780
he has delivered on that promise in every day every way
00:37:01.860
common sense common sense simply closing the border our president is bringing an end to illegal
00:37:21.300
and his policies are already bearing fruit real wages across the country are up one percent on the year
00:37:28.980
the first time in four years we are witnessing a blue-collar boom with real wages for blue-collar workers
00:37:36.500
under president trump increasing at one of the fastest rates in the last half century
00:37:53.620
thanks to the president's efforts to clean up illegal immigration he is fixing high home cost as well
00:38:00.340
rents have come down significantly consider that the average national price of rent has
00:38:06.020
increased five percent since the peak of biden's immigration insanity
00:38:18.100
we expect average home prices to follow suit as deportations unlock more housing supply
00:38:25.700
the second eye that made life unbearable for american families under biden was interest rates which
00:38:32.020
climbed at an unprecedented rate while he was in office but president trump is fixing that too
00:38:39.300
high interest rates make life more expensive for american families but they are coming down under
00:38:45.220
president trump the bond market had its best year best year since 2020 and if i have anything to say about
00:38:52.980
it as your nation's top bond salesman bonds will have another strong year in 2026 as we fight to bring
00:39:10.180
lower treasury borrowing costs mean lower mortgage rates lower car payments and lower credit card bills
00:39:17.780
which all translates to greater buying power for all americans
00:39:21.460
the third eye that drove the cost of living crisis under biden was inflation
00:39:33.140
the previous administration ran up the highest deficit in u.s history outside of a recession or wartime
00:39:41.620
as a result inflation skyrocketed to a 40 year high as secretary right the highest in his lifetime in my lifetime
00:39:50.740
families watched their hard-earned savings melt away as prices of consumer goods climbed ever higher
00:39:59.220
as with immigration the biden administration stole from the american people through inflation
00:40:06.900
consider that 42 percent 42 percent of inflation under biden was triggered by his administration's
00:40:14.100
runaway deficit spending inflation is the ultimate stealth tax it's the government's way of spending money it
00:40:22.660
doesn't have and devaluing yours biden ran up america's credit card and left all of us here to foot the bill
00:40:32.020
in the form of higher prices and groceries gasoline clothes and other goods we depend on
00:40:40.260
this is just one more reason voters like you elected president trump president trump is stamping out
00:40:48.660
by inflation for good and we fully expect fully expected to roll down next year prices went up under biden
00:40:58.580
because his central planning policies created scarcity scarcity in nearly every sector of the economy
00:41:05.540
economy from housing and energy to credit and consumer goods this made inflation even worse than it would
00:41:12.740
have been as a result of deficit spending alone but where biden created scarcity president trump is creating
00:41:19.460
abundance thanks to president trump's efforts on deregulation america's businesses are able to build and
00:41:27.620
innovate innovate again thanks to his one big beautiful bill americans are taking home more of their hard-earned
00:41:35.940
income as a result of no tax and tips no tax on overtime no tax on social security and deductibility
00:41:44.100
of auto loans for american-made cars american-made cars
00:41:51.860
and and thanks to his heroic efforts in trade trillions of dollars in new investment have
00:41:58.980
flowed into the united states and our workers are finally able to compete on an even playing field
00:42:04.740
these these policies in combination are driving a boost in production that will lower the prices of
00:42:17.060
goods for all american in 2026 while also creating jobs and increasing incomes this is the formula for
00:42:24.420
prosperity lowering prices raising incomes every component of the trump economic agenda is in pursuit of these twin
00:42:41.380
goals under president trump scarcity is giving way to prosperity the benefits of his agenda are now
00:42:50.740
rippling through the economy and those ripples will become waves as his agenda gathers force in 2026
00:42:59.380
president trump has put a decisive end to the three eyes i would add a fourth one insanity under joe biden
00:43:09.940
our great president is ushering in a golden age economy by making america affordable again we're
00:43:23.780
grateful to have you with us and i look forward to the president speaking to all of you this evening
00:43:38.340
is that incredible see scott started here as a contributor giving a speech right there as secretary
00:43:44.580
treasurer is fantastic i think that summarizes it talks about both the affordability issue
00:43:49.780
it also look at that lower prices higher paychecks bigger paychecks that's good like domestic very
00:43:55.540
straightforward president trump kicks off his uh he's going to go around the country and sell his
00:44:01.620
economic plan he's the best to do it he realizes that he's going to take scott best on some of these
00:44:07.460
secretary rights secretary energy all of it very very very impressive uh do we have the can i play the
00:44:13.380
clip of um the president's running a little late i'm not sure the speech is going to start until 6 30
00:44:18.260
there'll be some congressmen and other people up do we have the uh do we have the clip is that ready
00:44:22.580
let me go ahead and play a clip this about the uh now the um uh the ai amnesty is out of the uh is
00:44:31.220
out of any of the bills at nda or any of the must pass or any of the appropriations bill they're now
00:44:36.260
going to try to craft some sort of executive order mike davis the um mike davis the viceroy is working
00:44:43.700
with the white house on this of course people have to see what the details are this is one of the spots
00:44:48.340
uh brendan uh stein stein house um made this for the group that he's got a lot of these are coming
00:44:54.900
out right now as we try to sort out what's happening with the ai amnesty let's go ahead and play it as
00:45:00.820
congress stalls on ai it's the states red and blue stepping up to protect americans texas banned
00:45:07.780
discriminatory ai and cracked down on deep fakes utah now requires you to be told when you're talking to
00:45:13.700
ai tennessee's elvis act protects your voice and likeness montana florida arkansas and pennsylvania
00:45:20.740
are all taking action to stop deep fakes block harmful ai systems and keep kids safe this is
00:45:26.180
what americans want across all ages and incomes americans are in support of states taking the
00:45:31.700
lead and keeping families safe new polling shows that 57 percent of americans oppose washington blocking
00:45:38.100
state ai laws only 19 support federal preemption my home state of texas they passed some meaningful
00:45:44.500
legislation to protect kids to prevent ai generated pornography they've prevented the
00:45:50.420
state from using ai for a social credit system let states protect their people from big tech ceos
00:45:56.820
tell washington hands off our state ai laws visit statesoverceos.com
00:46:02.260
i think one of the key things here is you just can't do these in the dark of night i mean the
00:46:08.340
david sachs and the berlgarks completely misled the president this could just be slipped in there
00:46:13.620
it's going to be easy it's not you have to have a discussion you have to have a debate about this
00:46:18.340
uh clearly it may be a little cumbersome to have these states uh do this but in the absence of
00:46:24.020
anything something's going to fill that vacuum and so there has to be some discussion at the federal
00:46:28.740
level exactly what you're talking about also the genesis mission chris right there the secretary
00:46:34.100
of energy said hey this we want to have ai dominance naturally but we have to understand
00:46:40.740
what that dominance is going to be and if we don't want the chinese communist party to be competitive
00:46:46.500
there are methods to do that number one you don't let jensen wong talk into selling high-end chips
00:46:52.020
they're a couple of years behind us right now there's certain aspects they may be ahead
00:46:56.340
but if you cut them off from equity capital you cut them off from debt capital you cut them off from
00:47:00.180
all the capital markets in the united states you cut them off to how to build the ecosystem what i mean
00:47:05.060
by the ecosystem the training the know-how the expertise the knowledge uh training these chinese
00:47:12.580
engineers in our own colleges and then have them go back to compete with us who does that
00:47:17.060
who does that would the chinese do that for us no they wouldn't would the chinese ever sell these
00:47:20.900
chips us if they if they had and we didn't no they wouldn't uh we're gonna have one of the
00:47:25.140
experts on next in the next hour to go through this in detail but this is a debate you have to have
00:47:31.940
you're just not gonna be able to slide it in and now i hope and i i think people that are
00:47:37.540
have a better big picture of this are now talking to the president i think the executive war was
00:47:42.980
supposed to be signed on friday it wasn't uh and clearly you want to dominate uh artificial intelligence
00:47:48.900
on that there's no question but you also have to have guardrails for what the these institutions uh
00:47:55.540
particularly the four frontier labs of altman and musk and these people are doing and what they're
00:48:02.100
doing with your money now i might add there's a there's it's out today i've got to verify the math
00:48:07.940
but they're talking about spacex and elmo got all upset that uh i said hey we're going to take 50
00:48:15.380
percent of the equity on an 800 billion valuation hello they're talking about the valuation today
00:48:21.220
and the starlink is part of it at 1.5 trillion dollars this is why jacob isaacman is now is or
00:48:29.300
they're going to go get confirmed as head of nasa that whole game has been exposed because elmo elon's
00:48:34.820
got to have somebody that can sit there and give him almost a hundred percent i think 97 launch capacity
00:48:40.980
over at nasa this thing started it was five billion dollars 50 billion dollars and look he's got an
00:48:48.100
aip so i'm sure he's got the starlink piece it's we've got to break it all down but they're talking
00:48:52.420
about a valuation of 1.5 trillion dollars how much of that do you own how much of this you've been
00:48:58.580
underwriting with government contracts think about that for a second how much do you own and people
00:49:03.620
say well steve you can't be a social i'm not being a socialist we are actually capitalists what we
