Not that I'm aware of has there been any intervention in those markets.

Well, I think our Gulf state allies have never been happier than they have now to have U.S.

military presence in their country and to have a strong relationship, both economically and in terms of energy industry with the United States.

They understand who supports them and who supports their growth and prosperity.

Well, let's just start at the top line.

This is incredibly courageous, forward-looking talk, and celebrating our 250th anniversary as a country, going literally back to our founding.

And tonight, who would have known when you're coming to hear the speech, you're going to get an opportunity to be present.

for the Medal of Honor being delivered twice.

One for heroics from a warrior from World War II and Korea War, who's 100 years old, and then someone who just weeks ago was courageously led the charge as one of our helicopter pilots when they were arresting Maduro.

Peace around the world, prosperity for Americans, affordability,

affordability, President Trump's policies, turning this country around in the last 12 months.

Well, absolutely.

Through the National Energy Dominance Council that runs out of the White House that President Trump has asked Secretary Chris Wright and I to lead, Secretary of Energy, we're working hard to make sure that we can do this, have this behind-the-meter capability, BYOP, bring your own power, because we need power.

This is about energy addition.

There is no energy transition.
