00:00America is on the cusp of a new golden age, but we will have the courage to seize it.
00:07We're going to take it.
00:08We're going to make it a current.
00:10I mean, we're going to bring this into a golden age like never seen before.
00:15Remember this.
00:16China wants to do it.
00:17Japan wants to do it.
00:18All of these countries want to do it.
00:19We have to produce massive amounts of energy if we're going to produce the new.
00:26If you look at some of the things that have been done and some of the things that we're
00:31going to do, but AI needs tremendous, literally twice the electricity that's available now
00:40in our country.
00:41Can you imagine?
00:43But instead we're spending places where they recharge electric cars.
00:48They built eight chargers at a certain location toward the Midwest.
00:53Eight charges for $9 billion.
00:56Think of them as a tank for filling up your gas.
01:01Think of it.
01:02They spent $9 billion on eight charges, three of which didn't work.
01:10And if you are going to do this all over our country, this crazy electric mandate, if you're
01:15going to do this, and by the way, I'm all for electric, they have their application.
01:21But if somebody wants to buy a gas powered car, gasoline powered car, or a hybrid, they're
01:27going to be able to do it.
01:28And we're going to make that change on day one.
