You're making a decision that has been shaped in your brain by somebody that's trying to get you to do something in their interest, and you're actually doing something counter to your own self-interest. So in order to understand what China is doing, what Russia is doing, and what is going on in the world, We have to be able to understand truth, and truth has been morphed and mutated.
In fact, the information domain is now a battle space. We used to believe the TV, and when we found out the TV was lying to us and our government was lying to us, then social media and this new technology came about, and we're like, oh, starting to rush there. How do I triangulate truth here? And now we see that...
liars and storytellers that are trying to get us to believe something that is not true have infiltrated the social media and even the podcast world. So I say we're like teenagers in this information age and we still don't have the tools to triangulate truth quickly enough to be able to not make mistakes and drive ourselves off our own cliff.
And so our society is in a very vulnerable place right now. where we're trying to hunt—and this is why you're so valuable, because you are taking the time to talk to multiple people to understand where the truth lies. And it's incredibly important.
Well, this president, President Trump, understands this.
And in fact, he understood it in his first term. And this is why he was willing to put up with a ridicule, sarcasm, and humiliation that came with saying, we are going to create a space force. That space force, when we look back 300 years from now, the legislation that President Trump championed to get a Space Force written into law will be the wedge in history that protects America.
Without that, now even though the last four years, the government, the executive branch has not allowed the Space Force to build what it needs to protect us, so they kind of went into idle as soon as President Trump came into office, he's gonna put that into full afterburner. and we're gonna start seeing what the country really needs.
And it goes back to, again, what great warriors of the past have done. And what I'll say is great warriors of the past are peacemakers. President Trump is a peacemaker. When he rebuilds the military, it is not for the purpose of warfare. It is the purpose of peace through strength.
Because if you don't have the credibility and the will to use force against somebody evil that is trying to kill human nature, kill freedom, and this innate God-given important gift of free will, then people will just walk all over you. You have to be unapologetic. And so what you're gonna see now is you're gonna see America start developing something that's really important.
So I'll go back to Alexander the Great. One of the quotes that's most attributed to him, but it actually goes back even further is, in the art of war, amateurs talk about weapons and tactics. So planes, ships, tanks, submarines, satellites. Professionals talk about logistics. Because warfare is not about shock and awe. It's not about a decisive battle.
That is inconsistent with human nature and culture. Ushering in a peaceful future is about an economic journey where you can outlast your adversary at trying to do something bad. And you strike the fear of God into them that if they do something bad, you're gonna hold them accountable. It is an economic thing. National security is downstream from economics.
And economics is downstream from our values. And values are downstream from our beliefs and our worldview. And we are moral creatures, okay? God made us as moral creatures. So if you have a governance system like communism that does not believe in a God, it will eventually crumble as it tries to control people. But our constitution is so unique in history.
And this is why I'm so excited about being alive at this time and why we should be so happy to be able to usher in a more prosperous, healthy, and secure future where all people on the planet have a chance to live free and with free will. Because we have a constitution rooted in a worldview that there is a God. And he has planted in our hearts certain things that are essential, like free will.
And we have values of loving our God first and our neighbors as God loves us. and then policies and an economy that thrives on this ability for people to act and do and try, the free economy. It's our superpower as an American society based on these values and on this worldview. And then downstream of that is our national security, the tools we build. But it's about the economy.
And if we can build an infrastructure and space of logistics that is more affordable than our adversaries, We can defend ourselves and outlast anybody that tries to use space as a weapon against us. And we can usher in peace. That's why I started this company. And that's why space is such a critical, pivotal point in the future that most people don't recognize yet.
Yeah. So, again, our current grid, our current power grid is built like a Frankenstein. I mean, it is cobbled together. And, you know, like some of the big transformers take two years to build and they are built as an artisan thing. I mean, it takes two years for artists to put it together.
Well, yeah. I mean, many of the components are built in China. And again, this is all open source, but it's even more frightening than that with regard to what China has and what they have built, both in our nuclear power plants and in our power grid. So there's that component of it.
But what we did in San Antonio with this cooperation between a private power company, you know, CPS Energy, and the military and the Department of Energy and the Department of Homeland Security is show and prove out on a circuit
that if you bring in just the technologies that have been developed in our federally funded research labs like Sandia and Livermore and all of the different places where we invest in technologies, you can apply very inexpensive,
technologies to your current power grid, even though it's kind of a Frankenstein, to avoid it from being destroyed for two years based on an electromagnetic pulse that goes through it. And there's two sources primarily of an electromagnetic pulse. One is the sun.
