The president called all the leaders of these tech companies to the White House right after he took office.

And he chartered me immediately.

The United States must lead in AI.

We can't have the energy subtraction policies of the Biden administration and send AI overseas.

We have to lead here in the United States and we have to stop the ruinous price rises the Biden administration did.

But those two things can be and are being achieved.

And so these, we've been working with these companies since the start of the administration.

In fact, Laura, I've got to point out, Indiana, just a few days ago,

is the first state that filed for a rate reduction request to their committee on electricity.

And many other states have had multi-year freezes in their electricity rates. And these are made

possible by the U.S. government in partnership with these large data center developers to bring this AI, bring these investments, but bring with it no price increase to Americans.

Ultimately, price decreases for Americans.

Show me. My energy bill is steadily climbing. It keeps rising. In fact, the AES bill is sitting on the kitchen counter and I'm afraid to open it because I don't know what it says. Yeah, and look, you know, the fact that Energy Secretary Wright gave Indiana a shout out yesterday. I'm sure Mike Braun was so excited about that. He was jumping up and down in his office. Well, he tweeted it. Yeah, he did.

He's probably jumping up and down in his office like a little girl about all of this. He was so excited on the coverage in this. And this is part of the context in this. And we've talked about this a couple of weeks ago. Donald Trump is doing these handshake deals with major tech companies. they're building data centers, whether it's Google, Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, whoever, Open AI,

and what the... shake deals with major tech companies that are building data centers, whether it's Google,

Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, whoever, open AI. And what the hope is, and what Donald Trump is

hoping to get out of this, and what these AI companies have agreed to is that they will not

do anything with data centers that will increase consumers utility rates.

Yeah, but the problem here is Indiana is being highlighted by the Energy Secretary, right, because

we're being inundated by these massive data centers that the residents don't want. They just keep

getting pushed upon us. And AES, keep in

mind, has requested multiple rate increases over the last few years. And this is, this is almost like
