Democrats haven't brought it. There are about 60 of us on this bill to ban it. And and we we need more people on it.
I think the average person thinks that because people have such a low respect for Congress and they think we're all engaged in some kind of unethical, corrupt conduct.

But I don't look. Do I think that she's giving Paul Pelosi some inside tip that DeepSeek is going to come out? No, I don't think Nancy Pelosi knows that the Chinese are going to be releasing DeepSeek and that this is why NVIDIA stock is going to fall. And by the way, I think NVIDIA is actually going to do fine because there's also going to be increased demand now with DeepSeek for AI.

And we can get into that. But what I think is that Paul Pelosi is very, very plugged in to the tech network, and he has a lot of insights about technology. He's a tech venture capitalist.

That is my view. But I will say this, that a lot of people, most people will look at this and say, I don't believe, bro. I think something shady is going on, and that's why we should ban the stock trading.

Of course, who would have thought that ChatGPT would be the first to lose its job to AI, right? So people losing their jobs to ChatGPT. I mean, look, I think DeepSeek is... Not quite where ChatGPT 01 or 03 are or where Google are, but we've got a slight edge. But it should be very concerning that they're being able to do it much cheaper, as President Trump said.

Whether it's as cheap as they say, who knows? You can't ever trust them. I agree with you there. But it is cheaper. So the question is, what do we need to do to win the AI race? And I know David Sachs well. Here's what I'm going to try to propose to him. Two basic things. One, you have Stargate that Trump has announced, which is $500 billion of investment on this compute power.

Why don't we make sure that that compute power that's being built, that we give access to startup companies here for that compute power so that you don't just have open AI and Google and Anthropic looking at assembling talented teams to build new models. You get more startups doing that so that the next great invention doesn't happen in China, but happens here.

Second thing, why not have a Manhattan-like project for the uses of AI in the United States? So set two goals. We want to make sure by the end of Trump's first term, AI will cure five diseases, and we're going to recruit the best talented people to come up with an AI that does that. Or we want to make sure it's going to have better battery technology use of AI.

And those are two things I think that could be bipartisan that could be done so that America wins the AI race.

Well, I think if the president is convening these folks and if we're going to have any federal involvement in Stargate, right, because if it was just all private, we don't need President Trump, then there should be some licensing arrangement for startups who want to use the compute power. They have to compensate OpenAI or whoever else is putting money in for the compute.
