Transcript
If you see the 30-year at 6%, it is the beginning of a death spiral. We are supposed to be in the middle of an enormous financial build-out to support AI. And if you go all the way back like 100 years, the Industrial Revolution, the Grand Bargain, all of this stuff, the United States government was the balance sheet. They are the ones that were able to step it. And unfortunately, because of its financial situation, the US government is not able to do that. That's why, thank God, we have companies like Nvidia and Google and Microsoft and Meta and Amazon who take on that burden. There's so much chirping, by the way, on the internet about the balance sheet of
Nvidia and blah blah blah. And I think people completely miss that these guys are putting the entire US economy on their back.
