Summary

The construction of AI data centers is exploding across the United States, but many communities are rejecting them. In addition to questions about environmental impacts, many residents near data centers are experiencing terrible noise and large increases in their power bills. There has also been very little discussion of what these centers actually do to benefit Americans while increasing the likelihood of job layoffs and the capacity for government surveillance. Also, Pastor Chase Davis joins me to discuss his new book, "Offensive Christianity," which explains why masculine strength and Christianity are not at odds.

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.

0:50.1

And there's a lot of complaints over these things being built, whether they're actually good for

0:54.8

the environment, are they negatively impacting the power grids and other aspects of the communities

in which they are placed? And ultimately, do these things actually benefit anyone? There was a very

So the guy involved here is Kevin O'Leary and he is trying to build this massive data center, the largest one in the United

1:46.3

States, I believe, to date. And a lot of people are very concerned about what the outcome might be.

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,
