Hakeem Anwar joins Jimmy to warn that 384 hyperscale AI data centers already consume about 10% of US power demand, with 300 more planned that will quadruple AI power use to 40% of the nation's supply, while these centers require enormous amounts of water for cooling—spraying water on chips that get as hot as the surface of the sun—with Google's...
Hakeem Anwar joins Jimmy to warn that 384 hyperscale AI data centers already consume about 10% of US power demand, with 300 more planned that will quadruple AI power use to 40% of the nation's supply, while these centers require enormous amounts of water for cooling—spraying water on chips that get as hot as the surface of the sun—with Google's transparency report admitting water withdrawal is based on "estimates" when metering is unavailable. He notes that a single Kevin O'Leary data center (9 gigawatts) uses more power than the combined global footprint of Google and Microsoft pre-AI, and that these centers cause severe water stress, while companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Google and Apple account for 41% of data center growth.
Anwar argues that the solution is personal choice: ditch big tech devices and replace them with privacy-first alternatives like the Above phone, which has no ads, no tracking, no AI that can't be turned off, and uses open-source software that is self-hostable and not dependent on third-party companies. He acknowledges the risk of being jailed—pointing to crypto pioneers who were put in house arrest while the establishment later embraced crypto—but says he trusts in God and is "doing what I'm called" to do.

New York Times reporters and authors of the new book “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump,” Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, sit down with Jon Stewart to discuss the surprising revelations they uncovered about the Trump administration, like the president being absent from the room when his own team discussed the Epstein files, as well as the motivation behind controversial moves like the tariff policy rollout and the Iran war.
They also speak to how Trump controls the terms when reporters reach him on his cell phone and compare his first term to his second, which they describe as a story of hubris, built on gut feelings and belief from his cabinet that he is someone of destiny – because who else can survive four indictments and two assassination attempts to win the presidency a second time?

After twenty years in congress, Curt Weldon was about to become chairman of the House Armed Services Committee when he publicly questioned the accuracy of the 9-11 report. In retaliation, the Bush administration sent federal agents to his daughter’s house and ended his political career. At 77, Weldon has decided to tell the truth about what actually happened on September 11, 2001.
