[01:08:57] S0: Not good... And so it's... And is it ever just that? It's always more when you pull on the string. Right? [01:09:03] S2: I mean, it's a very valid worry, to be fair. And, I didn't... I wasn't aware of the security vulnerabilities there. But on a theme that Rory loves, Jensen Huang's just announced that he's gonna invest 2,000,000,000 more into European AI companies. So go Europe. Hey, Rory. [01:09:17] S1: Go go go Europe. Yeah. That's about that's about the right way show. [01:09:20] S0: How much money is that for NVIDIA? [01:09:22] S2: It's about a coffee. About a coffee. Maybe maybe a coffee and a croissant. You know? 2,000,000,000. [01:09:26] S1: I I think the cash flow is a 150, 160. Yeah. So it's it's 1% of cash flow. Yeah. Don't don't spend it all at once, kids. [01:09:34] S2: I did debate bringing it up because I wasn't so confident about the rebuttal there. [01:09:38] S1: Jensen is just gonna spend that money wherever he can to fragment this market. Okay. [01:09:42] S0: Well, probably also, Rohari is much closer to this than... I'm not an expert, but anything you can spend to deflect any anti Americanism is worth... Is probably worth the money up to a certain point. Right? Keep your head down. Don't be associated with any anti American ism. A couple a couple billion here and there to mitigate it is probably a great investment. Right? You know what, boys? No one is talking about. They should be [01:10:00] S2: inside the downfall of France. I mean, Jesus Christ. Yeah. You talk about a failed ecosystem in Paris.

[01:10:00] S2: inside the downfall of France. I mean, Jesus Christ. Yeah. You talk about a failed ecosystem in Paris. [01:10:07] S1: Yeah. It it... It's really good of them to step up and make The UK look great. [01:10:12] S2: I know. Do you want genuinely? Yes. Thank you so much, France, for making us look like Yeah. [01:10:17] S1: No. Totally. Yeah. [01:10:18] S2: The peaceful, orderly society. [01:10:20] S1: I did enjoy, you know, the la... I don't know why we're getting out of but I did enjoy the fact that the Greeks now borrow at a lower interest rate than France or Germany. It's just pleasing, you know, after what we all went through, you know, a decade and a half ago. There you go. [01:10:32] S2: Italian politics resembles stability. That is a worrying state of Europe. [01:10:36] S1: Yeah. Italia. Yes. Yeah. Yes.
