Sacks, do you have a, uh, favorite moment from the show?

Well, I think the highlight of the show, the thing that we'll remember for a long time, was the President calling in during Jensen's talk, and I think Jensen's overall, the content and, and demeanor really helped calm down this national panic over AI.

It felt like we were the center of this national conversation, and I think it happened very organically.

You remember there has basically been this PSYOP for the last few weeks leading into the summit to convince everyone that humanity was gonna go extinct unless we did exactly what the Democrats want [laughs] and stop all AI development.

And then, you know, we had first Satya came out and kinda calmed everyone down, and then Jensen did the same thing, and the president called in and did what he did best, which is seize total control of the narrative that I'm sure these Doomer groups had been carefully planning for weeks and kinda thwarted that whole operation.

Nerds, enough.

Get back to work.

[laughs]

You have a super intelligent Trump-telligence is now the term.

[laughs]

We're gonna call it Trump-telligence going forward, but I think you make a good point.

A lot of people wanted to know, Friedberg, if this was planned.

Was the President Trump call-in planned, Friedberg? T- k- take us behind the scenes.

Basically, Jensen was t- connecting with him right backstage and said, "Hey, call me back."

Yeah.

And then he called him while he was on stage.

Uh, there was some texting going on.

No, it was completely spontaneous.

It was spontaneous, yes.

Thank you.

It was not like a planned thing where Jensen was like, "Hey, let's do a whole thing." And so that was pretty amazing to have this conversation that Jensen was waiting for from the president to happen live, and clearly this was the topic du jour in DC as well as in the news and the media, and it was amazing to see it all happen on stage with us.

And yeah, just to, uh, be clear, I thought it was a bit, and I was like, "Well, put him on speakerphone." And Jensen says to me, "How do you do that?" And I just handed him...

I always keep an extra mic there in case somebody's mic goes out.

Just put him on speakerphone, put the microphone.

And President Trump, the funniest president in history, funniest politician in history, did you notice, Sacks, that he drops a one-liner through a speakerphone perfectly.
