Speaker 1: The Jesse Kelly Show. Another hour of The Jesse Kelly
Speaker 1: Show on a wonderful, wonderful Tuesday. We've got about half
Speaker 1: hour from now, we have Daniel Turner coming on. He's
Speaker 1: going to talk about the AI data centers and the
Speaker 1: power grid and what it means. I'm totally nerding out
Speaker 1: on this, fascinated by this whole thing. Maybe you'll find
Speaker 1: it boring, maybe you'll geek out with me on it,
Speaker 1: but I want to know what's coming and why it's coming.
Speaker 1: So that's coming up about a half hour from now.
Speaker 1: We'll do some emails. But before I get to that,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this,
Speaker 1: but I'm going to touch on this briefly. There's something
Speaker 1: I haven't quite figured out. I can see it, it's
Speaker 1: very obvious to me, and I haven't figured out the
Speaker 1: why behind it. And that thing is Democrats in their
Speaker 1: use of the F word, their public use it's not
Speaker 1: only the F word, their public use of profanity. And
Speaker 1: before I go into this, I just want to be
Speaker 1: clear that I am obviously no saint whatsoever. I'm not
Speaker 1: sitting here preaching to you about something I've used more
Speaker 1: potty words in my life than I ever should have. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not encouraging you to ever do so. I just
Speaker 1: want to be clear that I'm not moralizing against it.
Speaker 1: But when I see patterns, when I see patterns, I
Speaker 1: start looking for why. Remember, for instance, remember when Trump
Speaker 1: about the Epstein stuff, all of a sudden started coming
Speaker 1: out saying, shut up and move on, you idiot. Shut
Speaker 1: up and move on, you idiot. He said it several times,
Speaker 1: and that's when I predicted they're going to leak something.
Speaker 1: Why did I predict that correctly? Because I noticed a pattern.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump says the same thing several days in a row.
Speaker 1: Why It makes me ask why? So Hunter By recently
Speaker 1: sat down for an interview and I realized it's Hunter Biden.
Speaker 1: He needs a crackhead and he's a nut job. But
Speaker 1: tell me if you notice anything with this little clip
Speaker 1: number one.
Speaker 2: I agree with Quentin Tarantino. George Plooney is not an actor.
Speaker 2: He is a like I don't know what he is.
Speaker 2: He's a brand and by the way, and God bless him,
Speaker 2: you know what. He fuzzily treats his friends really well,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, buys them things, and he's
Speaker 2: got a really great place in Lake Como, and he's
Speaker 2: great friends with Broccolama. You what do you have to
Speaker 2: do with anything? Why do I have to listen to you?
Speaker 1: What we got it? Believe me? It goes on and
Speaker 1: on and on with beep beep, beep, beep beep, the
Speaker 1: toughl I'm not just picking on Hunter Biden elected Democrats,
Speaker 1: elected Democrats, senators, member of members of the House, where
Speaker 1: I never saw this before, ever out of either party ever,
Speaker 1: will now regularly talk like this public.
Speaker 3: To understand enough about the Constitution to the extent that
Speaker 3: I I'm.
Speaker 4: The one that's supposed to make a decision, or at least.
Speaker 1: Get to both.
Speaker 5: If you could speak directly to Elon Musk, what would
Speaker 5: you say, Gough?
Speaker 1: It's not just young ones either, it's older ones. There's
Speaker 1: a pattern happening. Stephen Colbert. Stephen Colbert on his show
Speaker 1: last night, that filthy communist who got his show canceled,
Speaker 1: and then Trump hilariously made fun of him for it.
Speaker 1: National television CBS said this.
Speaker 2: On Friday, Donald Trump posted, I absolutely love that Colbert
Speaker 2: got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings.
Speaker 1: How dare you, sir?
Speaker 2: Would an untalented man be able to compose the following
Speaker 2: satirical witticism.
Speaker 1: Comedic genius John Stewart. This is from not the Bee
Speaker 1: sings the F word for a full minute to react
Speaker 1: to Colbert's show getting canceled. I am not even sure
Speaker 1: I should have done this little segment because I don't
Speaker 1: have an actual answer. But something is happening and I
Speaker 1: can't figure out why. When all the animals start speaking
Speaker 1: the same way, doing the same thing, there is a
Speaker 1: reason for it. I don't know whether this is this
Speaker 1: is what I suspect. Okay, this is just a suspicion.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Democrats understand. Multiple Democrats have come out
Speaker 1: and explained that normal people, working class people have left them.
Speaker 1: They are now the party of the rich, urban elite.
Speaker 1: They just are. If you are in a rich urban
Speaker 1: elite population center, that's going to be heavily Democratic. But
Speaker 1: anywhere outside of that, working people, even unions, are leaving
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party in droves. They know, oh, they know
Speaker 1: they have a problem there. They don't know how to
Speaker 1: fix it. So when you're Dome and you're running for
Speaker 1: president and you roll tim walls out there to try
Speaker 1: to get make sure white people don't think you hate
Speaker 1: them as much as you very clearly do. And he
Speaker 1: goes hunting and can't seem to put rounds in a
Speaker 1: shotgun put you. It was embarrassing. It was embarrassing, but
Speaker 1: it's clear what they were doing. Hey, normal guy, I'm
Speaker 1: not a dirty communist to hate you. Look at me
Speaker 1: Fezen hunting. It was embarrassing. I think maybe in kind
Speaker 1: of an ugly bit of a crass fashion, I think
Speaker 1: maybe this renewed use of a bunch of potty words
Speaker 1: by elected officials and powerful people. I think maybe it's
Speaker 1: an effort to let construction guy know, to let union
Speaker 1: guy know that, hey, I still care about you, and
Speaker 1: if you can't drive that home with your policies and
Speaker 1: every single day you're explaining why white people suck, you
Speaker 1: try to do that by saying the F word, because
Speaker 1: you assume he's if I, if I can't quote the
Speaker 1: Bible to you, hey, Jesus said, if I can't. If
Speaker 1: I try that and it doesn't work, okay, well dang it,
Speaker 1: I thought that was gonna work. I'll move on. And
Speaker 1: you see Democrats with almost every single issue, when they're
Speaker 1: losing on one, they'll try this the we need people
Speaker 1: to clean the hotel rooms and pick our strawberries for us.
Speaker 1: That's not because they care about any of those things.
Speaker 1: That's an effort to get it home to you. It's
Speaker 1: it's not only a hey, don't you like strawberries? It's
Speaker 1: an also it's also there's a little threat built into there.
Speaker 1: Hey don't you like strawberries? And if we don't have
Speaker 1: Pedro doing it, you're gonna be out there in the
Speaker 1: fields breaking your back. Do you want to have to
Speaker 1: go break your back in the fields? Of course, you don't.
Speaker 1: Just let Pedro do it and all of his friends.
Speaker 1: That's the message. It's a message trying to use your
Speaker 1: values against you, trying to sell you on why you
Speaker 1: want cheap strawberries, while at the same time a little
Speaker 1: threat builds in You don't want to clean hotel rooms,
Speaker 1: do you? As if that's something we can't do. That's
Speaker 1: the first job my sister ever had was cleaning hotel rooms.
Speaker 1: As if American citizens of every color can't pick strawberries
Speaker 1: or don't know how to work physically or work with
Speaker 1: their hands. That's crazy. But that's all it is. None
Speaker 1: of it is based on facts or reality or how
Speaker 1: they really feel on something. Everything is an effort to
Speaker 1: weaken your defenses. Whatever way they can do it, they
Speaker 1: will do it. If they quote the Bible and it
Speaker 1: doesn't work, they'll move on and mention the strawberries. If
Speaker 1: that doesn't work, they'll move on and mention something else,
Speaker 1: or then they'll mention something else, and then they'll mention
Speaker 1: something else. They'll just shift from one argument to the next.
Speaker 1: And it's not because they believe in a single one
Speaker 1: of these arguments. It's all in an effort to weaken
Speaker 1: your defenses to them, period. And the story it is
Speaker 1: the Jesse Kelly Show on a Wonderful Tuesday. Remember you
Speaker 1: can email the show and you should your love, your hate,
Speaker 1: your death threats, email your ask doctor Jesse, questions, whatever
Speaker 1: into Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. So I mentioned
Speaker 1: this story a little bit yesterday about Pete Boodha, judge,
Speaker 1: the rear admiral, and how he took in all this
Speaker 1: money because he was the head of Department of Transportation
Speaker 1: and he used it on things that are not okay.
Speaker 1: Listen to this why are you g oh sorry that
Speaker 1: was the wrong one.
Speaker 3: Listen to this Federal spending records and airline industry insiders
Speaker 3: are indicating the Pete Buddha judge failed and basically ignored
Speaker 3: all out dated air traffic control systems which failed miserably
Speaker 3: in Newark earlier this year. He basically ignored all of that,
Speaker 3: instead spending the money that was allocated to his department
Speaker 3: on more an eighty billion of it on diversity, equity
Speaker 3: and inclusion grants instead of updating those old air traffic
Speaker 3: control systems. At least half of the Department of Transportation's
Speaker 3: entire budget for a typical fiscal year, programs such as
Speaker 3: Justice forty ended up shelling out fifty five percent of
Speaker 3: around one hundred and fifty billion dollars in infrastructure investments
Speaker 3: to disadvantaged communities.
Speaker 1: He spent half of his budget handing out money to
Speaker 1: his political allies. Sean Duffy, current Transportation Secretary. That was Newsmax.
Speaker 1: This is him, Sean Duffy.
Speaker 4: There wasn't a focus on building big, beautiful projects that
Speaker 4: connect people. It was really about spending the infrastructure money
Speaker 4: to drive an ideological agenda, whether it be the green
Speaker 4: agenda or the diversity, equity and inclusion agenda, and in
Speaker 4: the end they've only hurt the American people because a
Speaker 4: lot of money was spent and there's not a lot
Speaker 4: of deliverables for that money.
Speaker 1: Just remember that voting for Democrats gets you this every
Speaker 1: single time, every single time, because Democrats are communists, and
Speaker 1: that's what communists believe in. When a communist tries for
Speaker 1: a political office or a position like Department of Transportation,
Speaker 1: he will work very hard to present a good face
Speaker 1: to you, to lie to you about what he intends
Speaker 1: to do, because he knows you don't want him doing
Speaker 1: what he's about to do. But no matter what he
Speaker 1: says to you, his intention is to grab that position
Speaker 1: of power, whatever it is, and to use the power
Speaker 1: and money that comes with that for the revolution. Chris,
Speaker 1: I want you to grab me something Klaus Schwab when
Speaker 1: he talks about shareholder capitalism versus stakeholder capitalism, and it's
Speaker 1: a bit of a long audio cut, but we've brought
Speaker 1: it up before, and you understand exactly Chris understands exactly
Speaker 1: where I'm going with this. What he lays out, and
Speaker 1: I'm going to let him use his own words with
Speaker 1: his rear German accent, but what he lays out is
Speaker 1: a plan. He doesn't use these words, but it's essentially
Speaker 1: the communist plan to take over corporate America. Oh, you
Speaker 1: have to go play play.
Speaker 6: We have state capitalism on the elsa hand, we have
Speaker 6: shareholder or private capitalism. So it's a clash between two systems.
Speaker 6: I believe that state capitalism in the short term. In
Speaker 6: the short term provides certain advantages because you can mobilize
Speaker 6: in a concentrated way a lot of resources to reach
Speaker 6: a specific objective. But I believe such a future is
Speaker 6: not state capitalism or shareholder capitalism. It's the future is
Speaker 6: what I call steak hold oil capitalism, which is combined
Speaker 6: with a social responsibility stakeholder capitalism.
Speaker 1: What does that mean, Well, it means that corporations shouldn't
Speaker 1: be used for profit to help the shareholders. After all,
Speaker 1: we all have a steak. Everybody's a stakeholder, even people
Speaker 1: not involved in the company. In the corporation he mentioned
Speaker 1: it at the end, has a responsibility to everyone. But
Speaker 1: what does all this flowery language mean. Allow me to
Speaker 1: break it down for you. The communists looked at all
Speaker 1: the power and money in corporate America and said, wow,
Speaker 1: we could use that for our revolution, and they started
Speaker 1: to conquer corporate America. But they do this whereever they are,
Speaker 1: whatever the institution is. It could be a private institution,
Speaker 1: would be a government institution. It could be the mayor's office.
Speaker 1: It could be the public library. It could be a
Speaker 1: school teacher. It could be a corporate CEO. It could
Speaker 1: be head of the Department of Transportation, it could be
Speaker 1: the office of the Presidency. Whatever power you are able
Speaker 1: to get your hands on. As a communist, you don't
Speaker 1: think about what you should be doing on behalf of
Speaker 1: your company or the library, or your class or your country.
Speaker 1: Those thoughts never ever ever enter your mind. You have
Speaker 1: been given power, power that should be used for the revolution.
Speaker 1: How in the world could anybody in their right mind
Speaker 1: justify using half of the Department of Transportation budget on
Speaker 1: crazy cultural Marxist things he would never consider doing Otherwise,
Speaker 1: what's the point of being the head of the DOT
Speaker 1: and having this power and having this huge budget if
Speaker 1: you can't use it for the revolution? You ask why
Speaker 1: they would do those things? I would argue if you
Speaker 1: ask that question, you are naive to the fact he
Speaker 1: doesn't know any other way. Your kid's fourth grade teacher
Speaker 1: has a Black Lives Matter flag and tells your son
Speaker 1: he should cut his penis off because she's not a teacher.
Speaker 1: She's a revolutionary, a revolutionary who has access to legions
Speaker 1: of children. Every year she gets a new batch, and
Speaker 1: she's going to use her power, whatever power she has,
Speaker 1: for the revolution. That's how the communist thinks. Let's move
Speaker 1: off of this and let's talk about AI and our
Speaker 1: power grid. And this is about to be nerdy and
Speaker 1: wild and interesting. Daniel Turner is going to join us
Speaker 1: to talk about that next. It is the Jesse Kelly
Speaker 1: Show on a fantastic, wonderful Tuesday. And joining me now,
Speaker 1: as promised, is my friend. You know him well, Daniel Turner,
Speaker 1: with Power the Future. First of all, Daniel, before we
Speaker 1: get into your report and all that other stuff. An
Speaker 1: Italian sub. There's a debate here in the Jesse Kelly
Speaker 1: Show team whether an Italian sub should be hot and
Speaker 1: toasty and melty, or whether you should eat it like
Speaker 1: some kind of a barbarian cold. What say you, Well, I.
Speaker 5: Think you've biased my answer what with your language? But no,
Speaker 5: a classic Italian sub I would eat I would not
Speaker 5: eat hot, I would eat it cold. Why you like
Speaker 5: a chicken palm? Sub of course, like I want the
Speaker 5: cheese melted, I want the chicken cutless hot, I want
Speaker 5: the sauce hot. But if I'm doing like salami and
Speaker 5: mortadella and cheese and you know, like the spicy like
Speaker 5: red pepper paste, I want all that cold.
Speaker 1: So when you eat a cold Italian sub, you say
Speaker 1: to yourself, thank God, this cheese isn't melty. Is that
Speaker 1: what you say?
Speaker 5: I mean you can eat some cheese without it being melted,
Speaker 5: right like you just eat a piece of cheese, like
Speaker 5: with cheese and cracks. Its not all cheese is melted.
Speaker 5: Some cheese is good, firm and hard.
Speaker 1: You know what. I just want to move on. I
Speaker 1: want to move on. Let's let's talk about your area
Speaker 1: of expertise, because very clearly it's not Italian subs. I
Speaker 1: want to talk about the report you just did. Go ahead,
Speaker 1: you have the floor.
Speaker 5: But why are you eating our food anyway? You hate Italians.
Speaker 5: You always talking about you can't have before we go
Speaker 5: on the energy, You can't you can't despise the culture
Speaker 5: and and and then say you want to take the
Speaker 5: food like you got with the other jet.
Speaker 1: Well, that's why I'm trying to improve I'm trying to
Speaker 1: help you people out. If you could warm up your subs,
Speaker 1: maybe I'd warm up to you. Maybe it's on you all, right,
Speaker 1: focus on energy. What did what report did you put out?
Speaker 1: How bad are things? Or good are things?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: Good?
Speaker 5: Things are good, but things are We have a very
Speaker 5: bright future, but we got to do a lot of
Speaker 5: stuff first. And the report that we put out, which
Speaker 5: you can find on powthuture dot com, is about artificial
Speaker 5: intelligence and the future energy needs that we have for it.
Speaker 5: And this is some serious undertaking that we have. Right,
Speaker 5: your average amount of electricity that we use as a
Speaker 5: country needs to more than triple in the next couple
Speaker 5: of years if we're going to power all of these
Speaker 5: data centers. And what we're doing is we're building these
Speaker 5: data centers left and right, and we're not building the
Speaker 5: infrastructure to support them. So let's make a comparison. Not
Speaker 5: sure where you and your listeners live, but we all
Speaker 5: know about suburban sprawl, right. I think council gives permission
Speaker 5: to build eight thousand homes down this road of used
Speaker 5: to be a field and now they're eight thousand homes.
Speaker 5: But you know what they never give permission for is
Speaker 5: they don't widen the road, right, they don't change the intersections,
Speaker 5: and then suddenly what used to be a little country
Speaker 5: lane is now like a traffic jam, and you scratch
Speaker 5: your head and say, what the hell happened here? Like
Speaker 5: how is it such a disaster? And disaster because there
Speaker 5: was so much excitement about building eight thousand homes, but
Speaker 5: building roads is boring. Building sewer and water lines is boring. Electricity,
Speaker 5: Let's build the homes, right, that's the exciting stuff. That's
Speaker 5: what we're doing with AI. We're building data centers because
Speaker 5: there's so much money and data and we want to
Speaker 5: be the AI capital. Texas wants to be the AI capital.
Speaker 5: My home state of Virginia wants to be the AI capital.
Speaker 5: Pennsylvania just had that monster event last week with President Trump,
Speaker 5: but they want to be the AI capital. So everybody
Speaker 5: wants AI and data centers, but no one is building
Speaker 5: the boring infrastructure part. And what that means is that
Speaker 5: eventually you Texans are going to be stuck on that
Speaker 5: road in bumper to bumper traffic saying wow, this is awful.
Speaker 5: Who the hell's in charge? And why does my life suck?
Speaker 5: Because this is what they did to us, and that's
Speaker 5: what that's the scary future that we have unless our
Speaker 5: elected officials start making some smarter decisions.
Speaker 1: I already say that to myself every day that I
Speaker 1: can to work with Jewish producer Chris. But that's another
Speaker 1: story entirely. Can you help me explain before we get
Speaker 1: onto the power portion of this as best you can, Daniel,
Speaker 1: because you know I'm an idiot and I don't know
Speaker 1: anything about technology. AI. I have an understanding of what
Speaker 1: it is generally, and I understand it's big and growing.
Speaker 1: I get all that. But how big are we thinking
Speaker 1: this is going to be? Is it going to be everywhere?
Speaker 1: What do we think this is going to be?
Speaker 5: I think for those of us of a certain age,
Speaker 5: which I know you are, because you remember life without
Speaker 5: the internet, right, I mean it was coming about when
Speaker 5: you were a kid, as I was a kid. But
Speaker 5: we do remember a time before we went online. We
Speaker 5: remember a time that our parents said they went to
Speaker 5: the travel agent because they wanted to buy a ticket
Speaker 5: right before we shopped online. There was that beginning of
Speaker 5: the Internet. There's that funny video of Katie Kirk and
Speaker 5: Brian Gumblell on The Today Show and they're saying, what
Speaker 5: is Internet? Can someone explain what Internet is? No one
Speaker 5: knew what the hell it was, but those people who did,
Speaker 5: who were all multi billionaires, Now those are the Bill
Speaker 5: Gateses of the world. Right. They knew what it was
Speaker 5: going to be and they tapped into it, and now
Speaker 5: we all know what the Internet is. That's exactly where
Speaker 5: we are with AI. We know kind of have an idea,
Speaker 5: we're not positive, but those people who know know how
Speaker 5: big it is going to get. And that's why these
Speaker 5: stocks like Nvidia, that's why these governors are trying to
Speaker 5: get the AI in their area first, because they want
Speaker 5: to dominate this market and make a lot of money.
Speaker 1: Okay, so help me explain. Let's say I'm Governor Greg
Speaker 1: Abbot of Texas, not a fan, but that doesn't matter
Speaker 1: for the purpose of this question. Let's say I'm Governor
Speaker 1: Greg Abbitt of Texas and I want AI in Texas.
Speaker 1: If it's going to strain my power grid, of which
Speaker 1: it sounds like you're saying it's going to huge, what
Speaker 1: is it benefit me, Governor Abbott of Texas, to want
Speaker 1: it here?
Speaker 5: Because the companies that are building these data centers, like
Speaker 5: Microsoft or like that monster Tesla facility that is I
Speaker 5: think it's outside of Austin. I'm not positive where it
Speaker 5: is in Texas. That is all money, right, These data
Speaker 5: centers have to be built, so they are buying land,
Speaker 5: so landowners want it. They are buying enormous amounts of
Speaker 5: construction material, so construction companies want it. And then they're
Speaker 5: paying premiums to the state. Right are they are our residents,
Speaker 5: and so they are paying enormous corporate taxes and so
Speaker 5: the state is making a fortune and they don't have
Speaker 5: all the people. And that's the one advantage of it
Speaker 5: over regular construction. Right if Amazon wants to build a
Speaker 5: fulfillment center in town, big huge, monster building, but there
Speaker 5: are trucks coming in and out and thousands of people
Speaker 5: coming in and out, and you can see how the
Speaker 5: residents are like, I don't want this fulfillment center down
Speaker 5: the block for me. It's going to be a monster
Speaker 5: traffic AI data center. Once the construction's done and all
Speaker 5: those computers are hooked up, what are there like just
Speaker 5: two nerds who are making sure the lights stay on right,
Speaker 5: so you don't get all of the traffic footprint. And
Speaker 5: that's actually very attractive for communities. But your average data
Speaker 5: center is the equivalent of one hundred thousand homes in
Speaker 5: terms of electricity and in terms of water. So my
Speaker 5: beloved Governor Junkin, who I have a problem with as well,
Speaker 5: has bragged about how a third of the AI data
Speaker 5: centers in America are now in Virginia. We have added
Speaker 5: twenty three million people, the equivalent of twenty three million
Speaker 5: people in terms of water consumption and electricity consumption to
Speaker 5: Virginia and done absolutely no upgrades.
Speaker 1: And so sorry, I may end up keeping you on
Speaker 1: it if you have time, because I love questions. But
Speaker 1: why do these AI data centers use so much water?
Speaker 1: You said, there are two people there that they both
Speaker 1: have digestive problems.
Speaker 5: What's the deal cooling centers? Because these machines generated a
Speaker 5: lot of heat and they use it for for cooling purposes,
Speaker 5: and so like these centers are the like the the
Speaker 5: air conditioning and the cooling of the water towers is
Speaker 5: very very cold rooms, and it uses a tremendous amount
Speaker 5: of water, a huge amounts of water, Like I said,
Speaker 5: the equivalent of one hundred thousand homes.
Speaker 1: Okay, I asked it because I know water is at
Speaker 1: least in some many parts of the country in short supply,
Speaker 1: and states are trying to figure out how to get that.
Speaker 1: Can we use salt water?
Speaker 5: So no, because salt water carudes, So it's it's it's
Speaker 5: fresh water now. I mean, if I were president, I
Speaker 5: would be I would be building huge desalination plants like
Speaker 5: you see in Israel. But that's you know, that's another conversation.
Speaker 5: But everyone on the coast, I would be building them
Speaker 5: left and right. I'd be building huge pipelines from the Rockies,
Speaker 5: and I'd be very concerned about water on a national level.
Speaker 5: But again those are boring. Who wants to talk about water.
Speaker 5: We want to talk about buildings, and so that's where
Speaker 5: we do as we focus all on these exciting new things,
Speaker 5: and the boring infrastructure part is what gets left a side.
Speaker 1: It is the Jesse Kelly Show back with just a
Speaker 1: couple more questions for Daniel Turner. Power the Future. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you guys put out a report Power the Future.
Speaker 1: Dot Com. You put out a report that we need
Speaker 1: more juice, we need more power because AI is coming.
Speaker 1: We have big data centers. I guess my big questions are,
Speaker 1: where are we getting our power now? And where are
Speaker 1: we going to get three times the power we currently
Speaker 1: have to power these friggin things?
Speaker 5: En dollar question right there, right now, if in real time,
Speaker 5: I am looking at URCOTT, which is the Texas Utility Commission,
Speaker 5: and I'm looking at their website, and right now, I'll
Speaker 5: tell you exactly where your electricity is coming from, and
Speaker 5: half of it is coming from wind and solar. So
Speaker 5: the environmentalists will celebrate and see, look how great it
Speaker 5: is Texas half of its electricity is coming from wind
Speaker 5: and solar. I don't know if that's good or bad.
Speaker 5: I do know that Texas has spent over one hundred
Speaker 5: billion dollars to get this system up and running. They
Speaker 5: haven't spent a dime on fossil fuels, because fossil fuels
Speaker 5: are the ones who pay the taxes. I also know
Speaker 5: that Texas's utility rates have gone up around thirty percent,
Speaker 5: way higher and way faster than the average American utility rate,
Speaker 5: so it does come at a cost. I also know
Speaker 5: that you have sacrificed hundreds of thousands of acres of
Speaker 5: land to build these stupid solar and wind farms. So yeah,
Speaker 5: you can point to the fifty percent of our electricity
Speaker 5: comes from wind and solar, But at what cost is
Speaker 5: life better for Texans right now? I would say it's
Speaker 5: more expensive. And I just looked online. It's only ninety
Speaker 5: six degrees in Houston. Now, that's hot, but it also
Speaker 5: in July, in late July and Houston it can be
Speaker 5: one hundred and ten. So you're also just kind of
Speaker 5: celebrating the fact that it's not as hot as it
Speaker 5: could be. And I got to tell you, Jesse, that's
Speaker 5: not a great way to run a state like well,
Speaker 5: at least it's not as hot as it could be,
Speaker 5: Thank goodness, we're not in a heat wave and the
Speaker 5: grid survives. So is that how we see the future? Like,
Speaker 5: let's roll the dice and pray the wind blows, pray
Speaker 5: it's sunny, and pray it's not too hot. I think
Speaker 5: that's a pretty awful way to treat your constituents when
Speaker 5: you're charging them thirty percent more for their utility than
Speaker 5: they should already be pained.
Speaker 1: So if a red state like Texas has already succumbed
Speaker 1: to this insanity, and you're one hundred percent right about
Speaker 1: the thirty percent increase in power bill, we get mad
Speaker 1: about ours every single month. So if a red state
Speaker 1: like Texas is shifting away to crappy power, that doesn't
Speaker 1: work and it's more expensive. At the same time, we
Speaker 1: need to be tripling our power supply in this country.
Speaker 1: That sounds to me like we're heading towards the cliff.
Speaker 5: It does, And I think that's why it was so
Speaker 5: important in this one big, beautiful bill, despite it being
Speaker 5: far from perfect, is that it ended the subsidies for
Speaker 5: wind and solar, which people were went bonkers over because
Speaker 5: as long as government is giving out free money, why
Speaker 5: don't we all build a solar farm?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 5: If the government's paying you, sure, I'll be in the
Speaker 5: solar business, I'll be in the wind business. And so
Speaker 5: getting rid of those subsidies will force this industry to
Speaker 5: stand on its own two feet. At the same time,
Speaker 5: it's going to mean these industries are going to make
Speaker 5: life even more expensive for Texans because the federal government
Speaker 5: isn't picking up the tab anymore. Right, the Biden administration
Speaker 5: knew that Republicans just as much as Democrats, like free
Speaker 5: crap from Washington, DC, and a lot of Republicans were
Speaker 5: suckered in from but with free crap. But that's not
Speaker 5: the way we can run our country. Lord knows the cue.
Speaker 5: We can't run our industry, our energy industry, this way.
Speaker 5: And it's also I think why the President and his
Speaker 5: energy team have emphasized fossil fuels and they've emphasized nuclear
Speaker 5: and you've seen executive orders on all of these areas
Speaker 5: because they have small footprints, they are reliable, they don't
Speaker 5: depend upon the weather, and we have them an abundance supply,
Speaker 5: and they don't require tax dollars to keep them afloat.
Speaker 5: So if we want more, we need to build more.
Speaker 5: Reopen every coal plant. Texas has shuttered I think seven
Speaker 5: enormous coal plants in the last five years. Tell Greg
Speaker 5: Gabbott to turn them back on if they haven't been dismantled.
Speaker 5: Just put the things back online. And why do you
Speaker 5: see how your electricity bills fall? That requires a lot
Speaker 5: of political will, and Greens are paying the governor to
Speaker 5: not put them back online. Of course, climate change, but
Speaker 5: that's just a load of craft. All it is is
Speaker 5: that they're in the wind and solar business and they
Speaker 5: want the business.
Speaker 1: Now, do you at least put banana peppers on your
Speaker 1: Italian sub I mean, courtly, you do okay, Yeah, that's something. Well,
Speaker 1: that's something he is Daniel Turner, Power the Future. Thank you,
Speaker 1: my friend. I appreciate you very much.
Speaker 5: God bless you.
Speaker 1: Hey, Chris, are banana peppers kosher? I want to ask
Speaker 1: before I said they are? Okay? Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Have you ever have you ever had one on a pizza?
Speaker 1: What do you mean you don't like banana peppers? Yes,
Speaker 1: they do taste good. It's one of the best peppers
Speaker 1: out there. Corey, you like banana peppers. Of course, Corey
Speaker 1: likes banana Who doesn't like banana peppers? Oh, they're too
Speaker 1: hot for you. That's probably what it is. That's probably
Speaker 1: what it is. Banana peppers are too hot for Jewish
Speaker 1: producer Chris, and now we just exposed him here on
Speaker 1: the show. Speaking of Chris, if I talk to you
Speaker 1: about gold, about buying gold from gold Co. You know,
Speaker 1: the debt crisis is here, inflation hasn't gone away as
Speaker 1: you as you already know. What do you think might
Speaker 1: happen when the tariffs come down? You think there may
Speaker 1: be some problems, or when something else comes out, a
Speaker 1: new war, a new this, a new that. That's always something.
Speaker 1: How do you make sure your retirement will be there.
Speaker 1: Gold or silver, I don't care. I honestly don't care
Speaker 1: about the color. Gold doesn't impress me. What does impress
Speaker 1: me is I could put you in a time machine
Speaker 1: and fly you back a thousand years ago, and if
Speaker 1: you had gold, you would have tremendous value thousand years
Speaker 1: in the future. Tremendous value. It outlasts nations and always will.
Speaker 1: Our entire country will be gone, and your gold and
Speaker 1: silver will still have value. Let Gold Code get some
Speaker 1: in your retirement. They know what they're doing. You don't
Speaker 1: have to know what you're doing. I don't know how
Speaker 1: to do what they do. Let them get you some
Speaker 1: physical gold and silver. Maybe you're wondering, can I trust
Speaker 1: this company? Well, the Better Business Bureau gives them an
Speaker 1: A plus rating. Why do you think that is eight
Speaker 1: five five eight one seven gold. I trusted them with
Speaker 1: my money eight five five eight one seven Gold or
Speaker 1: go to Jesse likesgold dot com. All right, we have
Speaker 1: a final hour and we're gonna turn through a bunch
Speaker 1: of emails during this final hour. Remember Jesse at Jesse
Speaker 1: Kelly Show is the email address. We have maybe some
Speaker 1: more trouble on the horizon in Iran, and it was
Speaker 1: pretty much predictable, but looks like trouble may be coming
Speaker 1: sooner rather than later. Let's talk about that next
