| 0:00.0 | Hi, everyone. I'm Tony Robbins. Welcome to the Holy Grail of Investing podcast. I love the world where |
| 0:06.0 | America is the preeminent power. And to keep that in place, we need to be the leader in AI. |
| 0:12.6 | But we can't have the AI power if we don't have the electricity. The electricity sector is very |
| 0:17.5 | heavy government regulation, very difficult to get a permit. Imagine a world where China is the preeminent military power. And I don't want to know what that world is like on. We don't want to know at all. What do you seem that no one else is seeing that makes you confident that we can win this war? The world has a massive amount of energy. We just need to get regulations and bureaucrats out of the way. This is the power of an entrepreneur working with entrepreneurs. |
| 0:39.3 | That's exactly right. |
| 0:40.3 | We're going to make cancers that are death sentences today, manageable conditions. |
| 0:44.3 | We're going to have quantum computing. |
| 0:46.3 | We're going to harness fusion energy because AI is just giving us that extra horsepower. |
| 0:50.3 | Fusion, will it be available in electricity in the United States in our lifetime? |
| 0:56.0 | Absolutely. |
| 0:57.0 | Wow. |
| 0:58.0 | What are some of the best opportunities for them? |
| 0:59.0 | They want to make a difference in America? |
| 1:00.0 | They want to make a nice return. |
| 1:01.0 | Our dream is in this administration, which means in the next three and a quarter years, |
| 1:06.0 | we're going to have... Hi everyone. I'm Tony Robbins. Welcome to the Holy Grail of Investing Podcast. This is my partner. Christopher Zuck. Thank you for joining us. We're going to have an amazing day today. We're here in Washington, D.C. at the nation's capital. We're here because energy is the topic. You know, everyone talks about energy. We know it affects everything, the quality of our lives. But today, energy means intelligence. The AI race is the most important race in the world today. We need to beat China if we're going to be the superpower we've been and continue to dominate. We need to make sure we win that race. There's a lot of fear of scarcity of energy, concerns about energy. And so we thought maybe the best thing to do is bring you to meet one of our dear friends who happens to be the Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright. |
| 1:49.0 | Chris, great to be with you again. |
| 1:51.0 | Thanks for making the time. We really appreciate it. |
| 1:53.0 | Tell me something, you've been given a pretty giant task. |
| 1:56.0 | You're supposed to give us energy dominance, or as the President talks to the golden age of energy dominance for America |
| 2:02.1 | again, and there's some pretty big challenges ahead of us. |
| 2:05.4 | We're a little bit behind China and so forth. |
