| 0:32.7 | about our official intelligence a lot on this show and that subject is going to continue to be incredibly important. |
| 0:39.4 | You've probably seen the discussion over AI data centers that has been blowing up recently. |
| 0:44.4 | Obviously, AI doesn't just come out of nowhere. We need vast amounts of computers to make this work. |

| 1:52.7 | Now, the interesting thing about Kevin O'Leary is he's sitting here with this Utah hat on, right? |
| 1:57.8 | Because this is where he wants to build the data center. And it's supposed to show, |
