That begins with you can't have national security without border security.

You can't have national security without energy security.

How can you not be interested in the world's largest oil reserves in the same hemisphere?

So I think there's questions, of course, questions about security, questions about what the long term profile is going to be.

But the interest level is through the roof.

Lots of interest in coming to the meeting today.

There are not enough seats in the room in terms of executives that wanted to join in the meeting today with President Trump.

Well, good morning, Lisa.

Yes, it's absolutely essential, and this is part of the just announced national security plan that the White House has released.

That security plan mentions energy 23 times.

There's an entire section about energy dominance, and folks should think about energy dominance as something

the ability for the U.S.

to sell energy to our friends and allies so they don't have to buy it from adversaries, particularly those adversaries that are either funding terrorism or are funding wars, actively funding war machines.

And so it's core to the strategy right now, but it's also, as you've talked about on this show, is about with AI because

Never before in history have we been able to convert a kilowatt of electricity into intelligence.

The demand for that, regardless of stock prices or stock movements, the demand for AI, for intelligence applied to every job, every company, every industry is going to continue to increase the demand for electricity around the world.

The U.S.

is an energy-dominant country, now the largest oil producer in the world, largest LNG exporter in the world, and growing quickly.

With that strategy, it bodes well for the future of the U.S., both in terms of peace and in terms of prosperity.

Well, I think one thing that we know that in the Trump administration, we're cutting red tape so rapidly.
