Transcript

00:00:00.000 Trump defends taking 15% cut of NVIDIA AMD chip sales to China.
00:00:05.600 This is kind of weird, but he didn't ask for it.
00:00:08.840 They offered it.
00:00:09.600 So if they offer you 15%, what do you do?
00:00:13.320 And that's going to come back into paying off the debt that you have in national, you know, the national debt that you have.
00:00:18.960 It's an interesting thing, but he's being asked about it.
00:00:21.240 President Trump defends a deal requiring NVIDIA and advanced microchip devices AMD to pay U.S. government 15% of their China sales revenue for export licensing.
00:00:30.660 And here's what he had to say.
00:00:31.700 Go ahead, Rob.
00:00:32.480 But the H20 is obsolete.
00:00:34.260 You know, it's one of those things, but it still has a market.
00:00:36.920 So I said, listen, I want 20% if I'm going to approve this for you, for the country, for our country, for the U.S.
00:00:42.580 I don't want it myself.
00:00:44.480 You know, every time I say, like, I don't want it, like 747, I want, I want, yeah, for the Air Force.
00:00:52.120 So I just want to, so when I say I want 20, I want for the country.
00:00:56.420 I only care about the country.
00:00:57.680 I don't care about myself.
00:00:59.440 And he said, would you make it 15?
00:01:02.300 So we negotiate a little deal.
00:01:04.320 So he's selling a essentially old chip that Huawei has a similar chip, a chip that does the same thing.
00:01:15.840 And I said, good, if I'm going to give it to you because they have a, you know, they have a stopper.
00:01:20.320 What we call a stopper.
00:01:22.300 Not allowed to do it.
00:01:23.820 A restrictive, it's really known as a restrictive covenant.
00:01:26.900 And I said, if I'm going to do that, I want you to pay us as a country something because I'm giving you a release.
00:01:32.360 I released them only from the H20.
00:01:34.780 Now, on the Blackwell, I think he's coming to see me again about that.
00:01:40.780 But that will be an unenhanced version of the big one.
00:01:46.600 Like, I don't know if you know it, we will sometimes sell fighter jets to a country.
00:01:51.660 Tom, thoughts?
00:01:52.100 You love this.
00:01:53.940 So NVIDIA goes to the federal government and says, hey, look, we sell a lot of different chips.
00:01:59.740 And when he's talking about the H20, the H20 was a chip that was made for the Chinese market.
00:02:05.200 And there's a whole lot of companies over there that use it for a lot of things.
00:02:08.980 This isn't going to be something where the Chinese government is buying 1,000 of them, 10,000 of them, 100,000 of them,
00:02:15.180 and running AI sims to spy on us.
00:02:19.180 That's not where these are going to be used.
00:02:20.460 This is a bunch of Chinese companies doing it.
00:02:22.720 And Jensen Wang goes to the government and says, hey, you know what?
00:02:25.780 In the midst of this stuff, I can keep making these, and I'm a U.S. company.
00:02:29.520 It says, is it okay if I sell these here and, you know, I've got this tariff on top of it?
00:02:35.460 So I got this tariff thing.
00:02:36.740 And so what Trump is basically saying, well, tell you what?
00:02:39.540 I'll give you liberation to actually sell it on the embargo, but instead of the tariff dollars, pay the federal government.
00:02:46.020 Pay us.
00:02:47.040 And so guess what?
00:02:48.000 It's left-hand, right-hand.
00:02:49.920 And so Jensen says, great.
00:02:51.960 Yeah, I guess we'll do that.
00:02:52.800 And he said, now those Blackwell chips, the enhanced Blackwell chips, that's the super AI chip.
00:02:58.020 That's the Shelby Mustang of AI chips, or if you want to call it the, yeah.
00:03:06.840 What was that, Tom?
00:03:08.280 I held up from making a really bad, bad decision or something.
00:03:13.820 No, Tom.
00:03:14.480 Go for it.
00:03:15.420 No, no, no, no.
00:03:16.140 The Blackwell chip, the enhanced Blackwell chip is the super horsepower, big, beautiful chip that you don't want them to have.
00:03:26.180 And so this is basically, once again, I'll say it again.
00:03:30.160 I said it a minute ago, but I'm going to say it again.
00:03:31.720 It says, you know what?
00:03:33.880 This place needs to be run like a business, and it is being run like a business.
00:03:37.620 There's one part of it that's uncomfortable with me.
00:03:39.360 So here's what I'm going to ask you, Tom.
00:03:40.800 Do you know where I'm going with this?
00:03:42.520 Yes.
00:03:43.200 Where am I going with it?
00:03:43.940 You're going with this is that you open the floodgates.
00:03:46.360 Yes, for the next guy, for the next guy, for the next guy, which is.
00:03:52.900 Who maybe doesn't like you and just wants to take your company from you.
00:03:56.180 Which, you know what this, yeah.
00:03:57.540 Yeah, 50% I'll do it.
00:03:58.860 Listen.
00:03:59.300 That's like the Putin deal on gas.
00:04:01.260 I would.
00:04:01.700 Do you think I would negotiate the same way Trump is negotiating with NVIDIA?
00:04:04.780 Yes.
00:04:05.200 Yes.
00:04:05.800 Yeah.
00:04:05.960 I would.
00:04:06.540 Okay.
00:04:06.920 Skip the tariff.
00:04:07.760 Pay the country.
00:04:08.320 That's right.
00:04:08.800 But maybe tie it to a project.
00:04:13.620 So meaning, this is the way I would do it.
00:04:16.120 I would say the first, let's just say, how much revenue do you think they're going to
00:04:20.260 get from this chip?
00:04:21.220 AMD and NVIDIA.
00:04:22.080 How much do you think they're going to get from the chip?
00:04:23.320 Give the number.
00:04:24.760 That's going to be billions of dollars.
00:04:26.100 Give me a number.
00:04:26.640 Let's just say it's $300 billion in revenue.
00:04:28.460 I'm just making up a number.
00:04:29.920 15% is what?
00:04:30.880 $45 billion.
00:04:31.980 You know what I would say?
00:04:33.460 Here's what I would say.
00:04:34.340 As a form of project that we're working on right now, you guys are going to pay for the
00:04:40.120 wall.
00:04:40.720 Or you guys are going to pay for this.
00:04:42.340 Or you guys are going to pay for the drone.
00:04:43.780 Or you guys are going to pay for that.
00:04:45.200 It becomes a, where the audience says, okay, so that 15% for the government, you're going
00:04:52.600 to pay half of the dome.
00:04:54.040 Or you're going to pay for half of the this.
00:04:55.300 Or you're going to half of that.
00:04:56.480 Tie it to a project for it to be like, okay, they're going to pay for this.
00:05:00.740 Instead of the government's going to be a business partner with you on some of this
00:05:04.620 stuff.
00:05:04.880 Because this is where you open up the argument of nationalize and all this other stuff.
00:05:10.220 You're just doing, you're giving the opposition an argument for it.
00:05:14.440 And I'm telling you, I love the way it's being negotiated.
00:05:17.580 I love the way it's done.
00:05:18.780 I love what they're doing with it and the revenue that's going to be coming in for taxpayers.
00:05:23.600 And there's so many guys, oh, inflation.
00:05:26.180 Nothing happened.
00:05:27.600 Tariffs.
00:05:28.180 Nothing happened.
00:05:29.820 Up until now.
00:05:31.020 Nothing.
00:05:31.320 And by the way, the China deal's not done.
00:05:32.680 The India deal's not done.
00:05:33.620 A lot of deals are still not done.
00:05:35.160 And still, inflation didn't skyrocket when everybody said.
00:05:38.020 And yesterday was a record-breaking day for the stock market.
00:05:40.700 Just two days ago, we read an article.
00:05:42.060 Well, you know, the market was affected.
00:05:45.100 Sad Monday.
00:05:46.360 Yesterday, up 500.
00:05:47.980 What happened?
00:05:49.040 What happened with it?
00:05:49.800 Adam, thoughts on this?
00:05:50.880 Well, Trump made the whole phrase quid pro quo famous, which is basically like, scratch my
00:05:57.220 back, I'll scratch yours.
00:05:58.420 Funny thing about my back is that whole thing.
00:06:01.900 But the media will spin this story about NVIDIA cutting a deal of 15% of their revenue for
00:06:08.200 their exporting chips to China.
00:06:09.900 And they're going to say, Trump's enriching himself.
00:06:12.240 And Trump's just making money on this.
00:06:13.720 And I'm so glad that Trump was like, I'm not doing this for myself.
00:06:16.760 I'm doing this for the country.
00:06:18.140 This is the art of the micro-trip deal.
00:06:21.100 Now, speaking of NVIDIA, I think just two weeks ago, a week ago, they became the first
00:06:25.380 company that reached $4 trillion market cap.
00:06:28.960 I'm not going to slow down.
00:06:29.640 And now, look at this little earnings report here.
00:06:31.860 4.47 yesterday.
00:06:32.560 Now they're about to hit $5 trillion.
00:06:34.140 Yeah.
00:06:35.600 Don't bet against NVIDIA.
00:06:37.360 So I'm totally in favor of what Trump is doing.
00:06:39.620 You're basically saying you're making a ton of money.
00:06:41.020 You're making a ton of money selling to China.
00:06:43.760 Pay me.
00:06:44.420 Show me the money, is what Trump's saying to NVIDIA.
00:06:47.180 By the way, Jensen Huang, if you put him on a lineup, I guarantee you 99% of Americans could
00:06:53.120 not pick this guy up.
00:06:53.980 This guy is running the most profitable, biggest market cap company in the world, and nobody
00:07:00.720 even knew his name or NVIDIA's name five years ago.
00:07:03.240 By the way, he's worth $158 billion today.
00:07:05.280 He's doing okay.
00:07:05.980 But you know what they say, Pat?
00:07:06.840 We're thinking about starting a GoFundMe.
00:07:08.340 $158 billion.
00:07:09.080 Ain't what it used to be.
00:07:10.280 It's not.
00:07:10.620 It's not.
00:07:10.980 Save that money, guys.
00:07:11.820 All right.
00:07:12.020 Let's go to the next story here.
00:07:13.040 Let's go to the next story here.
00:07:13.860 That's going to be a Stefano Ritchie crocodile with their jacket.
00:07:17.120 They should go get this guy.
00:07:19.060 By the way, did you hear what he said the other day?
00:07:22.140 What's that?
00:07:22.560 It was in our panel.
00:07:23.620 He goes, what is it that makes America the greatest country in the world for when it
00:07:27.680 comes to technology and everything?
00:07:29.080 He goes, yeah, one thing.
00:07:30.760 Donald Trump.
00:07:31.980 Do you remember when he said that?
00:07:33.200 Yeah.
00:07:33.900 Yeah.
00:07:34.200 I mean, look, we're back to people not being afraid of talking and telling the truth, which
00:07:39.560 is great.
00:07:39.960 This is the clip right here, I believe.
00:07:41.260 Yeah, go ahead.
00:07:41.680 The all-in guys.
00:07:42.540 You see, are America's unique advantages that other countries don't have?
00:07:46.840 America's unique advantage that no country possibly have is President Trump.
00:07:56.060 There it is.
00:07:56.580 And let me explain why.
00:08:02.100 One, on the first day of his administration, he realized the importance of AI and he realized
00:08:08.860 the importance of energy.
00:08:10.240 For the last, I don't know how many years, energy production was vilified, if you guys remember.
00:08:20.220 Yeah.
00:08:20.360 We can't create new industries without energy.
00:08:25.020 You can't reshore manufacturing without energy.
00:08:27.260 You can't sustain a brand new industry like artificial intelligence without energy.
00:08:31.140 If we decide as a country the only thing we want is IP, to be an IP-only, a services-only
00:08:38.000 country, then we don't need much energy.
00:08:40.900 But if we want to produce things, something as vital as artificial intelligence, then we need
00:08:46.540 energy.
00:08:46.940 And so I'm just delighted to see pro to accelerate AI innovation.
00:08:52.840 This is where they jump cut to the picture of Trump being like...
00:08:55.740 Yeah, that's great to see.
00:08:57.180 August 27th, at our property here, okay, in a hangar, at our property that we have in Fort
00:09:04.140 Lauderdale, our headquarters, we're holding a special networking opportunity.
00:09:08.800 A lot of you guys keep saying, Pat, I want to come see the property.
00:09:12.020 I want to come see the property.
00:09:13.340 Most people don't know this.
00:09:14.280 We're building the biggest futsal field right now.
00:09:16.940 That is 3,000 square feet bigger than the biggest futsal field, the traditional ones
00:09:22.580 that you see.
00:09:23.400 We're building one right now, Scott.
00:09:24.460 What's a futsal field?
00:09:25.460 It's about to be done.
00:09:25.480 It's a futsal field.
00:09:26.600 Anyways, the people that know, they know.
00:09:28.100 It's a soccer field.
00:09:28.360 I don't understand the version.
00:09:29.880 No, no, no.
00:09:30.360 Listen.
00:09:31.000 So we're building it here.
00:09:32.060 We're doing a bunch of different things on our property.
00:09:34.440 We want to give some of the people an opportunity to come and see the property.
00:09:37.600 And some of you guys, I want to give you a tour when you come down here.
00:09:40.160 So here's what we're doing.
00:09:41.300 August 27th.
00:09:42.940 Anybody that's bought a vault ticket, that's going to the vault conference, that's out of
00:09:48.260 South Florida.
00:09:48.800 You can be from anywhere if you want to come participate.
00:09:51.260 But specifically for the people that are in Florida, if you bought a ticket, general,
00:09:56.380 you're invited.
00:09:57.060 Our team will give you a, you'll be able to network with others.
00:10:00.800 Platinum and executive ticket holders.
00:10:02.640 You're going to get a tour of the entire property.
00:10:05.720 Founder and CEO ticket holders.
00:10:08.920 I'm going to give you a tour of the property.
00:10:10.940 Myself.
00:10:11.360 I'm going to show you exactly everything that we're doing here.
00:10:13.700 But you have to be a ticket holder.
00:10:15.600 And if you haven't bought the tickets yet, you have to see what we're going to have our
00:10:18.540 center car outside the Formula One that we bought, the 1989 one.
00:10:21.780 We have a lot of things.
00:10:22.620 You'll see what we're doing behind closed doors.
00:10:24.440 This year's vault conference is going to be absolutely epic.
00:10:27.740 If you're somebody that's got big plans, second half of the, I keep telling this to people,
00:10:31.720 do not go through this year by yourself.
00:10:34.700 This is the worst year to go into 2026 without getting the strategies that others are having.
00:10:40.640 By far the worst.
00:10:42.200 Whether it's AI, human nature, real estate, insurance, finance, raising capital, networking
00:10:47.680 with others, myself, Tony Robbins, Martha Stewart, David Falk at the number one business
00:10:52.460 conference of the year that teaches you what to do when you leave.
00:10:55.320 It's not like rah-rah motivation.
00:10:56.980 Here's how we do this 300 page manual that will be given to everybody.
00:11:00.480 If you haven't yet bought your ticket, go to the vaultconference.com, buy your ticket.
00:11:05.160 Then, Rob, if you can put the link below for the people that have already bought a ticket,
00:11:09.260 because you got to register, because it's only for the first 200.
00:11:11.440 We're not doing it with 2,000 people showing up here.
00:11:14.040 First 200 register, locked in.
00:11:15.940 That's it.
00:11:16.240 Each person that bought a ticket, you'll get to bring one person with you to see the tour,
00:11:20.620 whether they have a ticket or not, it's not a problem.
00:11:22.700 But the first 200 register, you'll be able to come join us.
00:11:25.060 You just have to prove to us that you bought a ticket, and our team will verify that.
00:11:28.260 Rob, what is the link for them to go to register for this?
00:11:30.540 Is there a link that you have for it?
00:11:31.960 It's actually pinned inside of the chat on YouTube.
00:11:35.220 Okay, but is there a link for it for people that only listen to audio, like if it's in
00:11:39.980 different places?
00:11:41.240 Not that I'm aware of.
00:11:42.280 I can look and find it.
00:11:43.260 Well, I would say maybe send an email to info at vt.com.
00:11:46.000 Send an email to info at vt.com, and they'll send it back over to you.
00:11:48.800 But if you don't, it's a link on Spotify and on YouTube, you'll be able to get to it
00:11:52.760 to learn what that is all about.
