t keep the public from knowing about anything that he does that works. And then once they get control of the House, which is a good possibility, then they can just block every other thing he wants to do. And then they could say he was a giant failure, but it would be because they made him fail. The press framed it that way and then the House had some control and maybe they just start a bunch of in…
← Previous segment →d out of all civilized behavior once you show up on a list of somebody who has ever squatted. You can never rent. Never rent again. It's pretty severe. Wouldn't it be better if it was easier to remove the squatters but maybe the squatter penalty would maybe time out after five years or something because people change? I think California is doing everything wrong on that topic.
I've got a theory that the only lasting benefit from DOGE, because I don't think they cut enough to make a difference to the budget, I think the only lasting benefit is giving it a name, DOGE. Because now Pennsylvania is talking about they need their own DOGE and some other states have talked about oh we need a DOGE. And some organizations have said we need a DOGE. And some other countries have said we need a DOGE. The fact that it has a name allows everybody to say they're in favor of it. But if you tried to do it without a name and you said you know what we really need some kind of smart auditors who would come in and they'd use a scalpel and they'd decide what to cut, I don't know if you'd get a yes or a no because it wouldn't even have a name. Once you give something a name and everybody knows that name of the thing, then it becomes a yes or no. Should we do a DOGE? Pretty good idea.
So even if the main DOGE doesn't produce the cuts that we hoped and it's not looking like it will, it might create the idea. It could be that the idea of DOGE where you get a bunch of smart people to come in and look for the waste and cut your budget where it makes sense, that might be really important. So maybe the lasting benefit is just somebody gave it a name so we all know what it is so we can say yes or no to it in the future.
Nvidia, the company that makes those big AI boards and mostly boards, they're going to invest $500 billion in AI supercomputers in the US. Now I think an AI supercomputer means a data center that acts as one unified supercomputer. But Mario Nawfal was writing about this on X and that's a pretty big move. Five hundred billion, that's half a trillion dollars. Now I didn't see what time frame that is but obviously it's not one year but that's some serious investment.
So again if we see the midterms coming and there are enough of these situations where big companies like Appl

e have said yep we're going to move our production to India, get it out of China. We're going to build a bunch of things in the United States. You've got a bunch of car companies saying yep we're going to move our production out of Mexico and put it back into Detroit or something. Trump's going to look pretty good, but they're going to have to rack up a lot more of these. So right now it's maybe t…
