Oh, it's an honor to do it. And I love doing it. Like I was just saying, there's nothing else I'd rather be doing. So it's a real honor to be able to do it. And thank you for saying that. And thank you for being here.

So I found you, I saw this clip, which I'll get into on X. Energy, the seed corn of all development, all growth, all survival, survival, energy. So energy, transportation, information and manufacturing. These are the things that change humanity, that will change world power. And they are descending upon us in ways that are very unique.

52.349 - 72.095 Steve Kwast

The technology is on the engineering benches today, but most Americans and most in Congress have not had time to really look deeply at what's going on here. But I've had the benefit of 33 years of studying and becoming friends with these engineers and these scientists. This technology

73.817 - 94.99 Steve Kwast

can be built today with technology that is not developmental to deliver any human being from any place on planet Earth to any other place in less than an hour, to deliver Wi-Fi from space where you never need a cell tower to connect, to deliver energy from space where you never have to plug your phone in, and it trickle charges, and you can use that energy over time.

96.539 - 98.82 Steve Kwast

It can be applied to cars, to houses.

99.721 - 117.031 Shawn Ryan

There was talking about all this stuff that I'm into, but I've never really... Rumors percolate, especially around the UFO community and stuff, but I've really never known what to think about that. Then to have somebody like you up there talking about it, I think it was at Hillsdale College.
