| 0:00.0 | AI might be the most important innovation ever. It's storming every industry with literally billions being invested, so buckle up. |
| 0:07.9 | The problem is that AI needs the right data and a lot of speed and processing power, so how do you compete without cost spiraling out of control? |
| 0:15.7 | Time to upgrade to the next generation of the cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or OCI. |
| 0:21.4 | OCI is a single platform for your infrastructure, database and application development, with AI |
| 0:26.4 | embedded across it all. And Oracle's offering cloud helps you address your requirements for location, |
| 0:31.4 | access and data residency. OCI provides blazing fast speeds for AI's demanding workloads, |
| 0:37.3 | and in the cloud, when you pay by the minute, speed matters. And of course, nobody does data better than Oracle. If you want OCI to help you do more and spend less, like Uber, the Premier League and Oracle Red Bull Racing, take a free test drive at Oracle.com slash bandwidth. That's Oracle.com slash bandwidth.

| 1:44.6 | Here's Jeff McCausen to describe General Frost, something that the combat soldier must deal with. |
| 1:51.6 | It doesn't look like it's on the battlefield, but it is, and the calendar dictates it. |
| 1:58.1 | Centuries ago, centuries in the future, General Frost wins. More of this later tonight. |
| 2:03.9 | Yeah, definitely, definitely so. It seems, John, not only in terms of the immediacy of the battlefield, |
| 2:08.4 | but remember, General Frost, what he does to road network, supply efforts, and slows down |
