00:00The release of deep-seek AI from a Chinese company should be a wake-up call for our industries that

00:07we need to be laser-focused on competing to win because we have the greatest scientists in the

00:12world. Even Chinese leadership told me that. They said you have the most brilliant scientists in the

00:17world in Seattle and various places. But Silicon Valley, they said there's nobody like those

00:24people. This is very unusual when you hear a deep-seek, when you hear somebody come up

00:29with something. We always have the ideas, we're always first. So I would say that's a positive,

00:34that could be very much a positive development. So instead of spending billions and billions,

00:39you'll spend less and you'll come up with hopefully the same solution. Under the Trump

00:44administration, we're going to unleash our tech companies and we're going to dominate

00:49the future like never before.
