[American Optimist @AmOptimistShow]

NEW: @JTLonsdale with @kilmeade on data center pushback: "We've done a terrible job in the tech world on PR... we're creating massive numbers of jobs. We're going to bring down the cost of health care... we're going to take manufacturing back from China...

It's perfectly fair to insist the data center owners pay for their own electricity, their own water, make sure they're lowering the cost of energy...

But it's crazy to stop them... @Saronic hiring 10,000 people in Texas to build autonomous ships — only possible with AI."

Brian Kilmeade:  Joe, you've been seeing this battle. Let's start with AI in particular. You saw the booing that happened at commencement addresses with our next generation of innovators. What's going on?

Joe Lonsdale: Well, our next generation of innovators are very excited. Our next generation of activists are clearly not very excited.

Listen, I think we've done a terrible job in the tech world on the PR on this.... People don't trust Big Tech for good reason, especially from the right. But I don't think we're explaining that we're actually creating massive numbers of jobs. We're going to bring down the cost of health care. We're going to cure diseases.

All these good new innovations, the things that have always driven America forward, they're coming from AI and from data centers. So you can't just turn off our innovation world. That would crush the country, and our enemies would love it if we did that.

Brian: And if you look at the headlines right now... China could be prepared to overtake us. What are your thoughts about that as their latest model showing that they would erase America's AI lead?

Joe: I think our top labs are still 3 to 6 months ahead, but the Kimi model last week was very impressive. Listen, China is both innovating, and they're very good at copying and stealing.... We do not want to slow our slide down because then they will get ahead.

And by the way, if we can stay ahead, we're going to take manufacturing back from China. We're going to train people here to be better than their best engineers... Saronic you saw last week hiring 10,000 people in Texas to build autonomous ships. Only possible with AI. We're doing a lot of things that create jobs here, but it's a big fight. We have to win.

Brian: That leads me to the data center conversation. So we have all these data centers in this country, and suddenly it's a controversial move. 40% of the new construction are being protested now by various cities. The governor of New York says we're putting a moratorium. No data centers. What's the truth? Are they a danger to the environment?

Joe: First of all, they're not a danger to the environment. I do think it's perfectly fair to insist the data center owners pay for their own electricity, pay for their own water, make sure they're lowering the cost of energy...

You don't want them raising costs for anyone. But overall, they create jobs, and they're key to this industrial revolution for all of us...

It's crazy to stop them. You know who wants us to stop them? Of course, it's the populist extreme far left. But of course, it's also China. And we are also tracking Chinese money helping NGOs to push this narrative.

Brian: And you also feel like it's popping up on TikTok and other social media devices. So you've got a bunch of 18 to 25 year olds who think this is their next cause.

Joe: You're being taught to hate, just like we were taught so many other things we're supposed to be worried about. And it's fake, and it's B.S., and I'm long America and building the future.

Brian: All right, Joe, I always appreciate your optimism. And you're one of the most accomplished Americans we have. We count on you to lead.

[Joe Lonsdale @JTLonsdale]

Well said.

SUPERCUT!

Knowing what we now know about China & the 2020 election, the media saturating the airwaves w/ this talking point in 2021 makes a lot more sense.

BREAKING 🚨: Rep. Sarah McBride - a transgender - was just introduced as "Mr. McBride" and ALL H*LL BROKE LOOSE because he was "misgendered."

The Democratic member literally started POUNDING HIS FIST and YELLING, and the hearing was then ADJOURNED.

REP. KEITH SELF (R): I will now recognize the representative from Delaware, Mr. McBride.

REP. KEATING (D): Can you repeat your introduction please?

SELF: We've set the standard on the floor of the House...

KEATING: What is that standard? Would you repeat what you just said when you introduced a duly-elected representative from the USA?! Please?

SELF: I will. The representative from Delaware, Mr. McBride.

KEATING: Mr. Chairman, have you no DECENCY? I've come to know you, but this is not DECENT.

SELF: We will continue this hearing-

KEATING: You will not continue it with ME unless you introduce a duly-elected representative the RIGHT WAY.

SELF: This hearing is adjourned.

@MarkHalperin By the way, Racicot told this story to the @nytimes too. But for some reason no reporting and had to lead with Fifield instead. I wonder why that is? Your entire profession should be unilaterally fired for cause.

One moment during the @USMNT's opener yesterday made both Thierry Henry and @Ibra_official emotional

@DissentFu "Makeup? Free Palestine"? And you have a masters degree?

Sounds like you are getting in your own way of achieving success in life

BTW there is no Palestine and how'd the "masking thing" work out during covid?

Don't envy other's successes and achievements

This letter from 60 Minutes’ new EP, Nick Bilton, is so telling and transparent.

It’ll be hilarious to listen to anyone defend Pelley after reading this. And when they do, they will do so dishonestly.

Letter from Bilton to Pelley below.
