And, uh, w- y- what, what questions would you ask these guys, uh, Ted?

No, look, I was just thinking about I, I, I run four teams, a campaign, a North Carolina team, a Washington, D.C. team, and then I've got a personal business.

So, um, uh, we've gotten, I, I guess it's luck, but it's probably strategic coach principles going back to two thousand two.

Um, you know, bringing people in that, that don't annoy you and, uh, hiring slow, firing fast, and, uh, remembering, uh, that there's-- every person brings, uh, tremendous value.

So this is helpful to get refresh on these things.

Th- the, the principles of strategic coach tend to degrade through politics, so every time there's an opportunity to jump on, um, and, uh, just hear these principles again is always refreshing.

And you've, uh, you've custom designed it for your own reason, Ted, but I think that what-- when it came down to getting the nomination and getting the, the actual election, I, I think that you were just very, very open to what was going on in your state, and if somebody was really smart but wasn't in your party, you wanted them to, to know what their point of view was.

Yeah, that really helped.

basis? Should it be mandatory that ratepayers are protected as data centers go into their communities? Why not have language that codifies that?

I think Senator Houston is right in that this should be left up to the states, including states like Ohio, or in my case, North Carolina.

If Schumer's argument was correct, then why did almost every single Democrat vote for this? 200-some Democrats voted for this.

So I think the argument falls apart.

He's just resisting it to try to get some egg on the face of a political opponent at the time.

Senator Husted is all about bringing costs under control.

Look, I'm in all across North Carolina, all 100 counties, and I'm in communities that don't want data centers for the different fears, whether it's water, whether it's power, whether it's land usage.

Is that adequate for a technology given all of the security risks that these companies themselves have suggested it can pose?

Is this about to intensify?

Well, the goal is to open the strait and make sure that we keep our war fighters safe.

And eventually bring them home.

We don't want a forever war.

So the president wants all options on the table.

He wants the best military advice.

He wants to be decisive.

Yeah

Right

... need to be, uh, locked away, and if this can be, um, set up in such a way where AI has access to it, it can become very useful to us to, um, uh, it can develop advanced manufacturing, um, healthcare models, weather modeling, um, water efficiency, resource efficiency.

I just think there's so much there, so we wanna make it open and available, uh, for our AI models to make them more competitive and, uh, unlock the economy.

I think it's a huge unlock for, uh, economic growth in our country.

Uh, we've worked with companies like Siemens.

Uh, we've worked with Google.

We've worked with Snorkel AI.

Mm-hmm
