What was said

"Sanders and AOC just introduced a bill to halt all data center, all AI data center construction."

The hosts revealed that Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have introduced legislation to stop AI data center construction in the United States. One host called this development 'so bullish' for various market implications, suggesting it could create investment opportunities or redirect capital flows. This represents a significant political pushback against the AI infrastructure buildout that has been driving equity markets.
