Great.

I appreciate you having me on.

It's quite an honor.

Sure.

yeah sure i mean what a great movie and what a great person that aaron has been over the decades and tremendous work that she did and it sort of reminded me of the scene in the movie where brockovich asked the lawyer for the water company uh handed the puts the glass across the table and said here uh why don't here's some water why don't you have a drink of that that that water comes from uh

whatever the town was, Higbee or something in California, Hinkley.

That water comes from Hinkley.

Go ahead and have a sip.

And the lawyer wouldn't drink it.

It sort of reminded me of that.

But the data center issue is something that I've been way out in front of for a long time.

I think this is a massive issue.

It is an issue that not enough Democrats talk about or pay attention to.

I know because like our Capitol Hill reporter, I tell him to ask

representatives all the time about data centers.

And a lot of times our eyes glaze over because to me, this is an issue where Democrats can reclaim a lot of the rural voters that they lost over the last couple of decades because many of these data centers are being built

in rural republican areas and they hate them they hate the noise they hate the electric bills going up they hate their water bills going up and it's also polluting the water so so here you have the epa commissioner who's in charge of water safety in america

And AOC asks her about this problem of data centers polluting water all over the country, and she doesn't know anything about it.

She says she's never heard of this problem before.

So I just think this is an issue where Democrats need to get in the game.
