Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome in. It is Kentucky and is
Speaker 1: Morning News, Coffee and Company here on news Radio eight
Speaker 1: forty whas Nick Coffee. That's me On a July twenty
Speaker 1: eighth edition of the show The Full Cruise. Here, we've
Speaker 1: got Scott Fitzgerald, We've got John Shannon, and the one
Speaker 1: and only John Alden is back after a nice vacation.
Speaker 2: Should I say staycation?
Speaker 3: Definitely a staycation. So the first time in a long
Speaker 3: time that I've taken a full week off and not
Speaker 3: gone somewhere, and I think it helped the week go
Speaker 3: by slower, but in a good way. It felt like
Speaker 3: I got a full I feel much more rejuvenated than
Speaker 3: I thought I would.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can imagine if there's not as much going on,
Speaker 1: it's not as hectic. It just I mean, it's you
Speaker 1: realize that there's more downtime. Of course, really Tom never changes.
Speaker 1: It's all just you know how you perceive it mentally.
Speaker 1: But nice to know that you're back with a with
Speaker 1: a you know, a week of rest, which sounds like
Speaker 1: you needed it. Not because you know, we wear you
Speaker 1: out with what you have to deal with every day
Speaker 1: with this this show, but obviously you know, your a
Speaker 1: new dad. There's a lot that comes with that bonding
Speaker 1: time too, right.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely. There were three days last week where
Speaker 3: I was home alone watching the baby while my wife
Speaker 3: went up to school to get some things ready for
Speaker 3: the new school year coming up.
Speaker 2: So that was there.
Speaker 3: You got an interesting few days, but yeah, overall, a
Speaker 3: really good week off.
Speaker 1: Nice to hear, and we're certainly glad to have you back, Scott.
Speaker 1: You survived being outside seemingly all all day Saturday in Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: Was it as hot there as it was here?
Speaker 4: It was hot, dude?
Speaker 2: The Reds game, right, Yeah, yeah, it was fun, don't
Speaker 2: get me wrong.
Speaker 3: We had a great time.
Speaker 5: And then yesterday walked around historic Findlay Market in Cincinnati,
Speaker 5: which is awesome but hot, very very hot.
Speaker 1: You know, I when I see the huge crowds that
Speaker 1: that that were at the Reds game and the big
Speaker 1: crowds just out doing things, it's it's nice to know.
Speaker 2: That the heat wave, because that's what this is.
Speaker 1: This isn't just hey, the summertime is here and it's
Speaker 1: hot outside. This is genuinely a heat wave, and it
Speaker 1: doesn't keep people from still trying to go out and
Speaker 1: do things, which is good. But I also feel like
Speaker 1: when it's maybe this is just the whimp in me
Speaker 1: because I'm not as tough as others as far as
Speaker 1: dealing with the heat, I suppose, but it's such an
Speaker 1: added component that, like you remember, yeah, we had a
Speaker 1: good time at the Reds game. Yeah, we had a
Speaker 1: good time at the market, but man, it was hot
Speaker 1: as hell.
Speaker 5: It was well and big and Big three was in
Speaker 5: town and they had they had a music festival.
Speaker 2: So like your weeking in Cincinnati.
Speaker 5: Then we were walking back to the car and I
Speaker 5: mean it was just wall to wall people and when
Speaker 5: you put the heat on top of that with no breeze,
Speaker 5: it just stagnates.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Still it was crazy.
Speaker 2: But yeah, a lot of people out this weekend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I spent the majority, no joke, I probably
Speaker 1: spent more time either in a pool or pool side
Speaker 1: than maybe I ever have for just a weekend. Because Friday,
Speaker 1: we didn't really have a whole lot, nothing planned, and
Speaker 1: we just we can't keep the kids home without them,
Speaker 1: you know, losing their minds very often. So we just
Speaker 1: decided to go to my mom and stepdad's us They've
Speaker 1: got a nice poll set up that they let us
Speaker 1: mooch on pretty often. So we did a Friday evening
Speaker 1: by the pool, which was kind of nice. And by
Speaker 1: the way, it's because of just the heat. It's bathwater
Speaker 1: essentially still refreshing to an extent, but it's it's it's warm,
Speaker 1: the water's warm because of how hot it is outside.
Speaker 1: And then we spent really all day Saturday.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 1: Did get out to a church picnic on Saturday evening,
Speaker 1: which was a lot of fun. Went to the Saint
Speaker 1: what is it Saint Michael picnic out there in Taylorsville
Speaker 1: Road area in jay Town. But again, you know, we're
Speaker 1: enjoying ourselves. Good, good to see some friends and catch
Speaker 1: up with some people. But when I think back on
Speaker 1: that night, I'll think, wow, I probably swept more that
Speaker 1: evening than I have in a long long time.
Speaker 5: It was hot, and it's I mean, you walk out
Speaker 5: there this morning, it's hot.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but it doesn't nice that we're gonna get some.
Speaker 1: Really, my my, I guess when I when I and
Speaker 1: I checked the weather to know sort of what we're expecting,
Speaker 1: but really, what makes it seem either better or worse.
Speaker 1: It's just all humidity and when it's three o'clock in
Speaker 1: the morning, three thirty in the morning, whenever it is,
Speaker 1: I roll out of my house if I can. If
Speaker 1: I hit that garage door opener as I walk outside
Speaker 1: and it just smacks me in the face, that's when
Speaker 1: I know, Okay, here we go, better buckle up. Gonna
Speaker 1: be very very thick out side today.
Speaker 3: Does your garage heat up?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: So, it's yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, like if I if I just walk outside
Speaker 1: into the garage with the garage door shut, meaning walk
Speaker 1: outside of the garage from the house, it I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's not comfortable by any means, but within five
Speaker 1: seconds of the of the garage door being opened, the
Speaker 1: big one. I mean, it's just a different world of heat.
Speaker 1: Like I've learned to having a garage is something I
Speaker 1: maybe who knows, maybe in the next house I won't
Speaker 1: have one. But it's not just because it keeps your
Speaker 1: car like covered in the cold. Like it put it
Speaker 1: this way, if my car is in a parking lot
Speaker 1: getting baked in the sun for an eight hour workday
Speaker 1: shift and then I go get in it at five
Speaker 1: o'clock to leave, I feel like it would take a
Speaker 1: while from my car to actually cool off. Whenever I've
Speaker 1: got it covered with a garage that it's like a
Speaker 1: little thing that makes the world of a difference.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly same in the winter.
Speaker 4: Same in winter. It's still nice.
Speaker 1: I appreciate having a garage. And also we have a
Speaker 1: pretty good set up here right. It goes along way
Speaker 1: when our cars are covered in this garage.
Speaker 2: It does.
Speaker 4: You got to spend time by the pool grow.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was nice. Clyde, Okay, we're ready to rock.
Speaker 2: Get this week started.
Speaker 1: We've got John back, Scott's he's back after a fresh
Speaker 1: weekend in Cincinnati. I was pullsided, so hopefully you guys
Speaker 1: had a good weekend as well, and we got a
Speaker 1: lot to get into today. We'll talk about this big,
Speaker 1: big new piece of news from yesterday as we now
Speaker 1: have a deal with the European Union. Trump announced that yesterday,
Speaker 1: so we'll get into that and a lot more. It's
Speaker 1: Kentucky and this Morning News, Coffee and Company here on
Speaker 1: News RADIOA forty whas it sure is Monday, Monday, July
Speaker 1: twenty eighth. Where the hell did June and July go?
Speaker 1: I mean, July is still here. We've got a few
Speaker 1: days left, but I cannot believe how fast the summer
Speaker 1: months have completely flown by. And I mean, if you're
Speaker 1: a kid that's getting ready to go back to school,
Speaker 1: that probably sucks. But maybe it hasn't gone by fast
Speaker 1: for you, because again, time is all how you perceive it.
Speaker 1: It's actually one of the only and most consistent thing
Speaker 1: that exists. Time, right, so make it whatever you want,
Speaker 1: But I cannot believe how fast Juni's live gone by.
Speaker 1: And sure enough, starting next week, August the seventh, that
Speaker 1: will be the first day back to school for Jefferson
Speaker 1: County Public Schools here in Louisville and JCP. I said
Speaker 1: this a couple of weeks ago, whenever we were learning
Speaker 1: of the new superintendent of JCPS, Brian yearwould he made
Speaker 1: his first I believe it was his first trip to
Speaker 1: one of the one of the schools, and obviously I
Speaker 1: think he did a little media Q and A, and
Speaker 1: clearly he was going to be asked about the transportation situation,
Speaker 1: buses and all that, and I just remember thinking to
Speaker 1: myself at that time, this is going to be huge
Speaker 1: for this guy, right, Meaning however, the first couple of
Speaker 1: days go as far as you know, getting kids to school,
Speaker 1: which last I checked, that's a pretty big part of
Speaker 1: the public school system, right, you got to be able
Speaker 1: to get the children to school in order to have school,
Speaker 1: So he could have he could be not at fault
Speaker 1: in any way directly if it ends up being like
Speaker 1: a complete fiasco, but just because of the job he's
Speaker 1: the superintendent, like it's all gonna fall on him, and
Speaker 1: I just I think that's a very very thankless job,
Speaker 1: and clearly somebody's got to do it, and it's a.
Speaker 2: Very important job.
Speaker 1: But I'm rooting for him, and I think if parents
Speaker 1: can do their part in making sure they have all
Speaker 1: the information that they need in order to help their
Speaker 1: kid get to school, that could help. That could help
Speaker 1: doctor Yearwood out. So let's let's do that, and let's
Speaker 1: let's help him. But today is actually the first day
Speaker 1: that they've opened up the hotline at JCPS, So with
Speaker 1: next Thursday being the first day for JACPS, they've set
Speaker 1: up I guess just this week up until maybe the
Speaker 1: day of school starting, and I'm sure they're going to
Speaker 1: clearly be there for you when school starts as well.
Speaker 1: But they now have information available where you can find
Speaker 1: your child's bus number, stop location, estimated pickup drop off time,
Speaker 1: using what is called the bus Teller Tool and that
Speaker 1: is on the JCPS website. You can also check the
Speaker 1: hotline which was activated as of As of today, it'll
Speaker 1: be activated. So yeah, it's a five oh two four
Speaker 1: eight five ride. It will open up today at nine am.
Speaker 1: It'll be open to four pm to help with transportation
Speaker 1: related questions, so they may extend those hours based on
Speaker 1: call volumes. So again, if you have a kid that
Speaker 1: is getting set to start the school year with JCPS
Speaker 1: and you, I mean you need all this information. I
Speaker 1: would assume a lot of you already have it, but
Speaker 1: why not just double check. Again, it's the JCPS website
Speaker 1: where you can see the bus Teller Tool, and then today,
Speaker 1: starting at nine am, you can call five oh two
Speaker 1: four eight five ride, which never hurts to be over
Speaker 1: prepared for something like this.
Speaker 2: Right now, all.
Speaker 1: Families must complete the transportation verification form that is out there,
Speaker 1: so even if your child isn't riding the bus, so
Speaker 1: regardless of how your kid gets to school, there there's
Speaker 1: this verification form that need needs to be In fact,
Speaker 1: it looks like it already needed to be sent in,
Speaker 1: but if you didn't submit it by June thirteenth. You know,
Speaker 1: then they don't have any I guess record of how
Speaker 1: your kid plans to get to school. So just do
Speaker 1: your part to help this guy. I mean, I feel like,
Speaker 1: no matter what happens, he's gonna get blamed for things
Speaker 1: that he probably inherited. But I think the fiasco that
Speaker 1: was twenty twenty three whenever they tried to get school
Speaker 1: started and it became a national story because of just
Speaker 1: how big of a nightmare it was, that has led
Speaker 1: to at least for the next few years, and I'm
Speaker 1: talking about currently still people are gonna there's gonna be
Speaker 1: so much attention on the start of school to see
Speaker 1: if it's anything like that. And last year, I guess
Speaker 1: was a step in the right direction, because I'm not
Speaker 1: really sure they could have done much worse than what
Speaker 1: happened a couple of years ago. But again, if parents
Speaker 1: do their part, that can only help, right. I will
Speaker 1: talk to Rory O'Neil coming up about five to forty five.
Speaker 1: Scott's got our first sports update coming your way here
Speaker 1: in just a moment. Obviously, we bringing Rory. We got
Speaker 1: to discuss the big news as Trump announced a major
Speaker 1: US European Union trade deal. We'll get to that, but
Speaker 1: first it's time for an up Todate eight on traffic.
Speaker 1: We'll get the latest with Rory O'Neil. I'm not Roy O'Neil, Sorry,
Speaker 1: Bobby Ellis, I asked. I ask enough of Rory. The
Speaker 1: last thing I'm gonna do is ask him to check
Speaker 1: the traffic, weather, Force, traffic and weather for us. I
Speaker 1: won't do that, but anyways, a check if traffic at
Speaker 1: weather's coming your way right here right now on news
Speaker 1: radioaight forty WHS. It is five thirty five here Kentucky
Speaker 1: and it's morning news. Coffee and company here on news
Speaker 1: Radio eight at forty WHAS Nick Coffee. That's me the
Speaker 1: company man, John ald On alongside. Don't forget take us
Speaker 1: with you wherever you go. Listen live on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You can also listen live at WHAS dot com. So
Speaker 1: you heard John Shinnon mention that airline issue with American
Speaker 1: Airlines flight thirty twenty three that had to a landing
Speaker 1: gear problem. Is I guess what caused that? But the
Speaker 1: visual doesn't have me feeling great. Is I'm about to
Speaker 1: fly this weekend for the first time in a while,
Speaker 1: and I think this is probably I was just thinking
Speaker 1: about it. This may be the longest it's in a
Speaker 1: long time since I've had this big of a gap
Speaker 1: between flying. I don't fly that often, but usually handful
Speaker 1: of times a year, rather it be for a getaway
Speaker 1: or just work in some capacity. And I don't believe
Speaker 1: I have flown since last August. So anyhow, I'm sure
Speaker 1: it'll be okay. But since then, we've actually had a
Speaker 1: handful of national stories as far as like things you
Speaker 1: just didn't see for a long time on domestic flights.
Speaker 1: So I always get pre travel anxieties. I'm just I'm.
Speaker 2: Wired like that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the visual of what went on at the
Speaker 1: Denver Airport very very scary.
Speaker 2: So it says here that.
Speaker 1: They were preparing to depart from Denver to Miami yesterday
Speaker 1: and passengers heard a loud boom, saw smoke near the
Speaker 1: landing gear, and all one hundred and seventy three passengers
Speaker 1: and six six crew members exited via emergency slides. That
Speaker 1: was it, the smoke coming out of the plane and
Speaker 1: those seemingly inflatable blow up slides and people carrying their luggage,
Speaker 1: carrying their kids, and everything's okay.
Speaker 2: It seems like everybody's okay.
Speaker 1: But just seeing that doesn't make me feel better when
Speaker 1: it comes to potential issues with an airline, and I've
Speaker 1: never been I've never had anything bad happen to me
Speaker 1: on an airplane as far as like emergency landing, I
Speaker 1: bet as far as turbulence, I've probably had a pretty
Speaker 1: mild experience overall compared to some others. So I've never
Speaker 1: even had really that scary of a situation occur to me.
Speaker 1: But it doesn't take much to get me scared when
Speaker 1: it comes to flying, which I've at least now know.
Speaker 1: I now know that if there is a story, rather
Speaker 1: it be a huge story nationally, or maybe maybe not
Speaker 1: that big nationally, but it involves some type of issue,
Speaker 1: something happening on a plane. If I don't, you know,
Speaker 1: I can read the headlines, I can read the story,
Speaker 1: and that'll that'll scare me a little bit. But if
Speaker 1: I could just avoid seeing like the panic in people's
Speaker 1: face as they are getting off of a plane that
Speaker 1: looked like it was about to blow up, then I
Speaker 1: would it would probably help me. I don't benefit from
Speaker 1: seeing the visual of a situation like that, But anyhow,
Speaker 1: it sounds like those those folks are okay, one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy three passengers and against six crew members. That's
Speaker 1: who had to exit exit that plane, and clearly a
Speaker 1: pretty scary situation. Now another this isn't this isn't about
Speaker 1: any type of a flight situation. But this isn't something
Speaker 1: you see very often. And I know I'm probably one
Speaker 1: of many that are eager to see what happens the
Speaker 1: rest of the way here, but there is a Delta
Speaker 1: co pilot that was arrested. Just again, there's no visual
Speaker 1: at least that I've seen as far as any coverage
Speaker 1: of this arrest, but it's just a scene you don't
Speaker 1: typically see. So a Delta Airlines flight at San Francisco
Speaker 1: International Airport was as soon as they landed, federal agents
Speaker 1: stormed the cockpit and arrested the coal pilot on I
Speaker 1: guess what appears to be some pretty serious charges. And
Speaker 1: I'm trying there's this overnight. There's been updates as far
Speaker 1: as what's going on here, and I don't want to
Speaker 1: get it wrong, but yeah, I mean as soon as
Speaker 1: soon as they as soon as the the plane landed,
Speaker 1: I guess, before anybody could even get off the plane,
Speaker 1: they they had agents storming the cockpit to arrest the
Speaker 1: co pilot. So I would imagine those charges are pretty
Speaker 1: serious if that's what they're gonna I mean, that's what
Speaker 1: they're I mean, I don't know, just I'm thinking about
Speaker 1: all the potential impact here, right like if the guy,
Speaker 1: if this person was was aware they were wanted, and
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're in they're they're involved in a
Speaker 1: flight where you've got, you know, hundreds of people. I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess it probably makes sense to just make sure
Speaker 1: you apprehend them as quick as possible. I mean taking
Speaker 1: the plane hostage or something like that. I mean, that
Speaker 1: would be that would be an extreme thing.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1: Seeing the the you know, if you're on that plane
Speaker 1: and you see the guy who was, you know, in
Speaker 1: some way responsible for you getting from point A to
Speaker 1: point B on your flight with Delta, and I think
Speaker 1: it's I mean, to me, it would be pretty clear
Speaker 1: what they're doing. They're not taking him out, they're not
Speaker 1: rushing him off the plane because they're excited to see him.
Speaker 1: It's because they're in fact, they probably are excited to
Speaker 1: see them, but not for the reasons that you know,
Speaker 1: you might expect. But that's just me, you know, getting
Speaker 1: worried about traveling as I'm about to, you know, go
Speaker 1: on vacation next week, which I'm excited about, looking forward
Speaker 1: to it. But yeah, you just never know what you're
Speaker 1: gonna get at an airport, all right. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: just taking an allegiant flight from here to destined, so
Speaker 1: it's not like I've got a long day of travel.
Speaker 1: But I just I accepted long ago that I have
Speaker 1: no control over what happens when you travel via airline.
Speaker 1: You know, you show up, maybe everything's gonna be okay,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be on time and it's smooth. Or maybe
Speaker 1: you show up and you know, they tell you, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's get on the plane and sit for two hours.
Speaker 1: Then they'll tell oh, sorry, we're gonna have to deboard
Speaker 1: and take a look at something under the hood. Oh yeah, sorry,
Speaker 1: note your flight's canceled. We'll get you out of here
Speaker 1: next week. I mean, that's and if they do that,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? You're helpless? So fingers crossed
Speaker 1: that it's that it's that it goes smoothly, all right.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be joined by a smooth individual on the
Speaker 1: other side, that's royal and Neil of NBC News he
Speaker 1: set to join us coming up in just a few minutes.
Speaker 1: But first let's get another update on the traffic with
Speaker 1: Bobby Ellis, and we'll take a look at the forecast
Speaker 1: for Matt Melosa, Bitch of wok Ry right here on
Speaker 1: News RADIOA forty whs. It's about forty six here Kentucky,
Speaker 1: and it's morning News. Coffee and company with you, Nick Coffee.
Speaker 1: That's me here on News RADIOA to forty whas. And
Speaker 1: we bring in mister Rory O'Neil of NBC News, who
Speaker 1: is joining us here. So, Rory, what can you tell
Speaker 1: us about this US and United an EU trade deal?
Speaker 1: Obviously this has been a big talking point, the tariffs
Speaker 1: for quite some time, and it does seem as if
Speaker 1: overall this is very good for seemingly everybody involved.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but we still are short on details. President Trump
Speaker 4: is in Scotland right now, and yesterday I announced that
Speaker 4: there is a trade deal with the European Union, although
Speaker 4: details are still hard to find. It does cap the
Speaker 4: tariffs at around fifteen percent for most products. There are
Speaker 4: some carveouts in the mix, especially when it comes to pharmaceuticals. Again,
Speaker 4: it's a bit of a moving target, but still a
Speaker 4: positive sign that some deal has been struck. The head
Speaker 4: of the EU also sounding like she likes the terms
Speaker 4: that she's seeing in this agreement. And we also heard
Speaker 4: from the Commerce Secretary this week and saying that they're
Speaker 4: going to start doing the tariffs on August first. They're
Speaker 4: not kicking the can down the road anymore. August first
Speaker 4: is the day the tariffs take effect around the world.
Speaker 1: So let's say that when August first does hit, which
Speaker 1: again is just a few days away, and others don't
Speaker 1: take the action that President Trump has been wanting to see,
Speaker 1: I mean, what's the first immediate effect of that.
Speaker 4: Well, you could start seeing these higher prices, or rather
Speaker 4: the higher cost to import products from fifteen to thirty
Speaker 4: percent depending on the country. And as we heard from
Speaker 4: Secretary Lot, look, they're still open to details to deals.
Speaker 4: Rather they can you know, if some country wants to
Speaker 4: strike a deal that helps them out or gets the
Speaker 4: lower tariff or makes American product it's more accessible in
Speaker 4: their country, they're still willing to negotiate, but they're just saying,
Speaker 4: you know, we've delayed this again and again. Remember Liberation
Speaker 4: Day was announced back in April. We thought the tariffs
Speaker 4: would be happening later that month and it was delayed
Speaker 4: to June, and now here we are going to August first.
Speaker 4: So they're just saying that, look, if we haven't gotten
Speaker 4: a separate deal, then we're going to have the rest
Speaker 4: of these tariffs take effect on most products. But remember,
Speaker 4: you know, this EU deal is important because they're one
Speaker 4: of our largest trading partners. I think technically they are
Speaker 4: even more so than China. So it really is important
Speaker 4: to get these big deals done, whether or not something
Speaker 4: gets a special tariff and it comes in from Cambodia
Speaker 4: or Laos or maybe less significant because we just don't
Speaker 4: import as much from them.
Speaker 1: Rory and ALIVINBC News is our guest joining us here
Speaker 1: on news Radio eight forty Whas artificial intelligence is seemingly
Speaker 1: growing at a rapid rate, seemingly every day, I learned
Speaker 1: something new about how AI is being utilized. Now when
Speaker 1: it comes to artificial intelligence in this explosion, what does
Speaker 1: it mean as far as how it can impact what
Speaker 1: people pay for electricity?
Speaker 4: Well, look, this innovation and this miraculous development of AI
Speaker 4: doesn't happen, Well, it does happen in a cloud, But
Speaker 4: it doesn't, but it's actually happening on the ground thanks
Speaker 4: to these computer centers. These data centers are popping up everywhere. Essentially,
Speaker 4: they are large buildings that are just filled with computers
Speaker 4: running NonStop twenty four to seven, and they are a
Speaker 4: huge power drain. And as there's more and more demand
Speaker 4: for electricity, we're back into supply and demand old school
Speaker 4: economics that it's going to force up the price that
Speaker 4: you pay for electricity. And there are a lot more
Speaker 4: residents complaining saying, hey, look, this is like Amazon and
Speaker 4: Google and Facebook, some of the most profitable companies on
Speaker 4: the planet. Why aren't they paying the upfront cost? And
Speaker 4: it's because the utilities essentially to predict what their year
Speaker 4: ahead will look like for consumption, and when they buy it,
Speaker 4: they're got to they have to pay a premium and
Speaker 4: that gets passed along to all customers, not just those
Speaker 4: with data centers. So a lot if you look across
Speaker 4: the country, on average, electric bills are going up about
Speaker 4: twenty bucks a month because of these AI centers, and
Speaker 4: you know that's a couple hundred bucks.
Speaker 1: A year, especially for those who are are still not
Speaker 1: really aware of what AI is and whatnot. They're gonna
Speaker 1: they're gonna think, wait, what the heck, why is this
Speaker 1: impacting my electric bill?
Speaker 2: I don't even utilize this at all.
Speaker 4: Well, right, but that it's the building down the street.
Speaker 4: And the other thing is those AI data centers don't
Speaker 4: really employ a lot of people either, right, They're just
Speaker 4: computers buzzing along constantly. So you know, a lot of
Speaker 4: times they'll give incentives to bring in new developments. In
Speaker 4: this case, these data centers don't have a huge spike
Speaker 4: in employment connected to them. So yet they're good paying
Speaker 4: jobs that come with them, but there just aren't that many.
Speaker 4: And meanwhile, we've got higher energy costs, just as we're
Speaker 4: seeing temperature is hit one hundred degrees and lots of
Speaker 4: the country.
Speaker 1: Rory is always appreciate the time, Enjoy the rest of
Speaker 1: your Monday, and we'll talk soon, my friend. Thanks, Vick,
Speaker 1: Like that's Whorrey on al of NBC News. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: feel like there are still many, many, many that don't
