Trump & Xi Just Changed the World Order: AI, Iran, & the Next Cold War | Tom Bilyeu Show Live
"A new bill from Bernie Sanders and AOC would stop every single one of them. It's called the Artificial Intelligence Data Center Moratorium Act. The bill freezes construction and upgrades on every new AI data center in the country. The freeze doesn't lift until Congress passes a sweeping package of new AI laws."
The proposed legislation would halt nearly 3,000 planned or under-construction AI data centers across America, including the $165 billion OpenAI Oracle Stargate facility in Texas. Bilyeu argues this effectively hands AI dominance to China permanently, as Congress is unlikely to pass the required comprehensive AI regulation. The bill includes requirements for union-only construction, community veto power, and bans on chip exports.
