Doug Burgum

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.

So it spanned the whole 250 years.

But again, I would just say two takeaways.

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.

President Trump understands that we've got to have energy abundance.

We've got to be able to sell energy to our friends and allies.

including those that have been dependent on our adversaries.

I mean, if you're getting energy from Iran or Russia and they're funding terrorism or wars, I mean, we can stop wars and stop terrorism by having energy abundance from the U.S., but enough abundance that we can keep prices for energy here at home low, even with the demand increase, so that we can win the AI arms race against China, which part of that race is who can generate the most electricity, because this is the first time in history

You can take a kilowatt of electricity and turn it into intelligence.

President Trump understands that.

His policy is going to work for both winning the arms race and for keeping electricity affordable for Americans.
