特朗普提议中期选举胜选发5000美元红利，内政部长回应资金与能源政策

THIS IS BALANCE OF POWER LIVE FROM DALLAS, TEXAS. KAILEY: FROM DALLAS, TEXAS TO OUR TV AND RADIO AUDIENCES WORLDWIDE, WELCOME TO A SPECIAL EDITION OF BALANCE OF POWER. TONIGHT, THE FIRST-EVER GOP MIDTERM COMMISSION CONCLUDES AFTER A KEYNOTE ADDRESS FROM THE PRESIDENT LAST NIGHT THAT'S ALL TRUMP INJECT HIMSELF INTO THE MIDTERMS WHILE PROMISING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN AMERICANS IN AN EFFORT TO BOOST HIS PARTY'S ELECTION CHANCES.

I'M ASKING YOU TO PRETEND I AM ON THE BALLOT -- I AM ON THE BALLOT. [APPLAUSE] JUST ONE MORE TIME. SO IF THE REPUBLICANS WIN, YOU WIN WITH US AND YOU GET $5,000, IT WILL BE CALLED THE TRUMP DIVIDEND. KAILEY: JOINING US NOW LIVE FROM THE CONVENTION CENTER IN DALLAS IS SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR DOUG BURGUM. WELCOME BACK TO BLOOMBERG TV AND RADIO. APPRECIATE YOU JOINING US IN A VERY LOUD ARENA FOR A SECOND NIGHT. COULD WE BEGIN WITH THE $5,000 TRUMP DIVIDEND SUGGESTION -- ARE WE SENDING MONEY TO TAXPAYERS POTENTIALLY THAT TAXPAYERS WOULD BE PAYING FOR?

HOW WOULD THIS WORK? SEC. BURGUM: WE CAN START THERE BUT I ONE THINK YOU AND BLOOMBERG, I KNOW TOMORROW YOU HAVE A FULL DAY OF SCHEDULING AROUND 9/11. THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION AND I WILL BE AT SHANKSVILLE AT THE FLIGHT 93 SITE WHICH IS NOW A NATIONAL PARK SERVICE HISTORIC SITE. AGAIN, APPRECIATE THE COVERAGE OF THAT DAY. IT'S INTERESTING THAT PART OF THE THEME OF PRESIDENT TRUMP LAST NIGHT IS WE ARE STILL FIGHTING BATTLES IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND GRATEFUL FOR HIS LEADERSHIP.

THE TRUMP DIVIDEND, IT'S AN IDEA OF PRESIDENT HAS HAD ABOUT HOW WE TAKE THE FUTURE PROSPERITY OF THE COUNTRY AND GIVE IT BACK TO THE AMERICAN WORKERS. THIS IS A BIG, BOLD, FRESH IDEA AND IT HAS A LOT OF POTENTIAL. THE UPSIDE WE ARE SEEING, THE RECORD TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DIRECT FOREIGN INVESTMENT, LOWER REGULATIONS, LOWER TAXES, THE PROSPERITY AND PRESIDENT TRUMP WANTS TO SHARE THAT WITH AMERICAN WORKERS. KAILEY: CAN HE DO SO WITHOUT THE AUTHORIZATION OF CONGRESS?

HE TOLD CBS HE THOUGHT HE COULD DO THIS ON HIS OWN BUT DOESN'T THE POWER OF THE PURSE LIE WITH YOUR COLLEAGUES AT THE CAPITOL? SEC. BURGUM: THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN. I'M SURE PRESIDENT TRUMP WHO JUST LAUNCH HIS BIG IDEA YESTERDAY PERHAPS HAS SOME IDEAS ABOUT THE SAVINGS BEING GENERATED FROM OTHER SOURCES. I'M SURE MANY PEOPLE IN CONGRESS THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA AS WELL. WHEN YOU LOOK AT CONGRESS IN THE PAST OR DEMOCRATS IN THE PAST, THEY PROMISE WE WILL GIVE A TRILLION DOLLARS OF STUDENT COLLEGE DEBT RELIEF, OR WE WILL CHANGE THE RULES AROUND HEALTH CARE REIMBURSEMENTS, TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS, OR THE GREEN NEW DEAL, TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS OVER DECADES OF SUBSIDIES.

THERE'VE BEEN OTHER BIG IDEAS PITCHED DURING ELECTION YEARS BUT I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST TIME PRESIDENT TRUMP IS SAYING THAT PEOPLE GENERATING THE PROSPERITY WOULD BE THE ONES THAT WOULD BE THE RECIPIENTS. KAILEY: YOU MENTIONED THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED AS WE MARK THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11, THERE STILL A THREAT IN THE MIDDLE EAST, AND THAT'S PART OF WHY HE'S STARTED THE MILITARY PURSUITS. WE'VE SEEN OIL PRICES MOVE SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER.

DIESEL WAS ALREADY MARCHING TOWARD SIX DOLLARS PER GALLON. WITH THE MOVES WE ARE SEEING WITH THE REFINING CAPACITY RESTRICTIONS WITH DIESEL IN PARTICULAR, IS THE U.S. CONSIDERING ANY KIND OF EXPORT RESTRICTION WHEN IT COMES TO DIESEL? SEC. BURGUM: EVERY IDEA IS ON THE TABLE BUT I THINK THE THING WE'VE GOT TO FOCUS ON RIGHT NOW IS MAKING SURE WE GET OUR DOMESTIC PRODUCTION UP. UNDER THE PRIOR ADMINISTRATION, REFINING CAPACITY WAS SHRINKING, IN EXTREME CASES LIKE CALIFORNIA WHERE THEY USED TO HAVE OVER 30 REFINERIES, GOING FROM EIGHT TO SEVEN, TO SIX.

THEY WERE IMPORTING FOREIGN REFINING PRODUCTS WHEN THEY COULD BE REFINING IT THERE BUT BECAUSE OF POLICIES AT THE STATE LEVEL, SUBTRACTING THEIR CAPACITY. WE ACKNOWLEDGE, HIGH DIESEL PRICES ARE AFFECTING EVERYONE FROM FARMERS TO LOBSTER MEN. IT'S A SHORT-TERM SITUATION BECAUSE PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ELIMINATING A MULTIGENERATIONAL ISSUE RELATED TO HAVING TERRORIST GROUPS HAVING NUCLEAR WEAPONS BECAUSE OF COURSE IRAN WAS FUNDING 24 DIFFERENT TERROR GROUPS.

IF THEY HAD A NUCLEAR WEAPON, IT WOULD BE DISPERSED ACROSS TEAR GROUPS AND THAT'S A THREAT TO EVERY AMERICAN. THE BIG PICTURE WHICH PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ASKING PEOPLE TO SAY, WE ARE ON TRACK WITH THE ACTIONS IN THE LOWER 48, WITH ALASKA AND VENEZUELA, MOVING THE GEOPOLITICAL CENTER OF OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION BACK TO THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE REALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME AND THIS ENSURES AMERICA HAS THE LOWEST PRICE, MOST SECURE ENERGY, THE MOST MANUFACTURING JOBS COMING BACK.

IF YOU LOOK AT NATURAL GAS, $2.70 FOR NATURAL GAS WIN -- WHEN OTHER AREAS ARE P AYING $20. WE ARE GLAD TO HAVE SECURE AND RELIABLE ENERGY. KAILEY: I'M GOING TO TRY TO SPEAK CLEARLY OVER THE NOISE OF THE CROWD. WHEN YOU SAY EVERYTHING IS ON THE TABLE, DOES THAT MEAN EXPORT CONTROLS ON REFINED PRODUCTS ARE UNDER CONSIDERATION? SEC. BURGUM: WHEN WE SAY EVERYTHING'S ON THE TABLE, WE DON'T WANT TO EXCLUDE ANY OPTIONS BUT IN THE PAST WHETHER THERE'S BEEN IDEAS ON EXPORT CONTROLS, THEY'VE RAISED DOMESTIC PRICES AND NOT LOWERED THEM.

EVERYTHING ON THE TABLE WILL HELP LOWER PRICES. KAILEY: A HEADLINE CROSSED THE BLOOMBERG TERMINAL A FEW MOMENTS AGO REGARDING MICROSOFT. THEY ARE PLANNING TO TRIPLE THEIR DATA CENTER CAPACITY TO 38 GIGAWATTS. AS WE CONSIDER THAT KIND OF BUILDOUT THAT WE ARE SEEING NOT JUST FOR MICROSOFT THAT THESE COMPANIES, THAT THE PROLIFERATION OF DATA CENTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY MIGHT IT'S CREATED A LOT OF PUSHBACK FROM A CONSUMER CONCERNED ABOUT THE DRAIN ON RESOURCES, ON THINGS LIKE WATER.

FROM YOUR PURVIEW AS THE INTERIOR SECRETARY, IS THAT A REAL THREAT? SEC. BURGUM: LET'S START WITH WATER. I THINK WATER NEEDS TO BE DEBUNKED COMPLETELY BECAUSE MOST OF THEM ARE USING CLOSED-LOOP SYSTEMS. YOU CAN HAVE A CARWASH WHERE YOU BUY A MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP, THOSE MIGHT USE 20 TO 30 TIMES THE WATER A DATA CENTER DOES. THE WATER THING COULD BE HANDLED. UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PROTECTION PLAN, IF ANYBODY'S BUILDING, THEY HAVE TO BRING THEIR OWN POWER OR MORE THAN THEIR OWN POWER.

WE'VE BASICALLY GOT A COMMITMENT FROM THESE HYPERSCALERS THAT THEY WILL NOT BE DRAINING THE CURRENT ELECTRICAL GRID BUT ADDING TO IT. WHEN I WAS GOVERNOR OF NORTH DAKOTA, WE BUILT A DATA CENTER IN A TOWN OF 800 PEOPLE, THE TOWN ENDED UP WITH MORE WATER, THEY DID REBATES THAT EVERYBODY IN THE AREA ENDED UP WITH LOWER ELECTRICAL BILLS. IF WE HAVE THE RIGHT POLICIES AT THE LOCAL LEVEL, THESE COULD BE A TREMENDOUS BENEFIT IN TERMS OF PAYING LOCAL PROPERTY TAXES, HELPING SCHOOLS, AND LOWERING THE COST OF ELECTRICITY, INCREASING WATER, THE OPPOSITE OF THE CONCERNS YOU ARE HEARING.

BUT IT'S UP TO THE INDUSTRY TO WORK HARD AND GET THAT MESSAGE OUT. WE KNOW THERE'S FOREIGN INTERFERENCE AND TRYING TO AMPLIFY UNCERTAINTY BECAUSE THE AI ARMS RACE IS AN ARMS RACE, A MODERN CHALLENGE FOR US AND AMERICA HAS TO BE ABLE TO BUILD THINGS AND BUILD THEM QUICKLY WITH THE SUPPORT OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES. THE BEST IDEA I'VE HEARD IS TAKING SOME OF THE COMPUTE OFF THE DATA CENTER AND CONTRIBUTING IT BACK TO THE LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE FORM OF A PERSONALIZED TUTOR FOR EVERY STUDENT IN THE DISTRICT.

THE NUMBER ONE THING TO RAISE EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES IS PERSONALIZED LEARNING HELP. THAT WOULD BE THE EQUIVALENT OF HAVING SOMEONE MOVE HIM SAYING WE WILL DONATE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO THE LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT EVERY YEAR. THESE HYPERSCALERS WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THAT BY GIVING AWAY SOME OF THEIR COMPUTE THAT COMES OFF OF THESE WONDERFUL MANUFACTURING -- THEY ARE BASICALLY A MANUFACTURING SITE FOR INTELLIGENCE AND SHARING SOME OF THAT IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY COULD GO A LONG WAY TOWARD BUILDING LOCAL SUPPORT.

KAILEY: AS WE TALK ABOUT DATA CENTERS BEING BUILT THERE'S A LOT BEING BUILT IN D.C. RIGHT NOW, A BALLROOM AT THE WHITE HOUSE, UPDATING THE REFLECTING POOL, WILL PLATING STATUES AND THE ARCH WHICH COULD HAVE GROUND BROKEN IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. THERE ARE A GROUP OF VETERANS THAT HAVE SUED OVER THE ARCH I
