00:00This country has an opportunity to transform.

00:03And that's rare in the history of nations,

00:05to have an opportunity for transformative change.

00:08And what I mean by transformative change is not simply oil and gas fields.

00:12And that's very important. Natural resources are critical.

00:15But that is just the basic ingredient that allows prosperity to happen.

00:20One of the topics that's talked about all over the world today

00:23is data centers and the digitization of the economies, artificial intelligence.

00:29Do you know what you need in order to do that?

00:31You need to have really good scientists and engineers and technicians that know how to run it.

00:35But the most important thing you need to be a dominant presence in the world

00:39in data centers and artificial intelligence is reliable and affordable energy.

00:45Sometimes crime is attracted by prosperity and targets prosperity.

00:49And the other are regional threats,

00:51the regional threats based on illegitimate territorial claims by a narco-trafficking regime.

00:56And I want to be frank, and I've said this during my time as a senator,

00:59and I have full confidence in saying it now as the Secretary of State.

01:02There will be consequences for adventurism.

01:07There will be consequences for aggressive actions.

01:11I want to know if your country would stand by Guyana militarily

01:16if Venezuela were to attack this country.

01:20And what would be the U.S.'s response should Venezuela attack U.S. oil major ExxonMobil,

01:27which is operating in Guyana's waters?

01:29It would be a very bad day for the Venezuelan regime

01:32if they were to attack Guyana or attack ExxonMobil or anything like that.

01:36It would be a very bad day or a very bad week for them, and it would not end well for them.

01:42I'm not going to get into details of what we'll do.

01:44We're not big on those kinds of threats.

01:45I think everybody understands, and I want it to be clear.

01:47We've made this clear repeatedly.

01:49I think the U.S. Navy today is making it clear and demonstrating our ability to

01:54We have a big Navy, and it can get almost anywhere in the world.

01:59And we have commitments that exist today with Guyana.

02:02We want to build on those, expand on those.

02:05Mr. Secretary, a Turkish student in Boston was detained and handcuffed on the street by plainclothes agents.

02:12A year ago she wrote an opinion piece about the Gaza War.

02:15Could you help us understand what the specific action she took led to her visa being revoked?

02:22And what was your State Department's role in that process?

02:26We revoked her visa.

02:27It's an F-1 visa, I believe.

02:29We revoked it, and here's why.

02:31And I'll say it again.

02:32I've said it everywhere.

02:33Let me be abundantly clear.

02:34If you go apply for a visa right now anywhere in the world, let me just send this message out.

02:38If you apply for a visa to enter the United States and be a student,

02:41and you tell us that the reason why you're coming to the United States is not just because you want to write op-eds,

02:46but because you want to participate in movements that are involved in doing things like vandalizing universities,

02:52harassing students, taking over buildings, creating a ruckus,

02:55we're not going to give you a visa.

02:57There's been reporting that 300 visas have been revoked.

03:01Maybe more.

03:02It might be more than 300 at this point.

03:04We do it every day.

03:05Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visa.

03:07You're saying it could be more than 300 visas?

03:09Sure.

03:11At some point I hope we run out because we've gotten rid of all of them.

03:14But we're looking every day.
