Trump says communities rejecting data centers are choosing to be "backwards and poor." But are the promised jobs, tax revenue, and economic benefits really that simple?
Nate Thurston and Josh Martens dig into the data center backlash, including water and electricity claims, noise concerns, property tax revenue, and the risk that local governments spend temporary data center money like it will last forever.
Then they turn to Trump's proposal to let farmers and ranchers process their own food, the regulatory barriers that helped concentrate meat processing, and why an executive order may not provide the certainty businesses need.
The conversation shifts overseas as Nate and Josh challenge claims that the Strait of Hormuz is open while the U.S. is still engaged with Iran. They discuss constitutional limits on war, America's debt problem, and why a weak fiscal position makes foreign policy crises even more dangerous.
Finally, they look toward the midterms. Has Trump misjudged his own coalition? And are Republicans learning the wrong lesson from voter frustration?
