19:17Now PlayingJimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the recent arrest of an Illinois resident who was organizing a protest against a proposed data center project, arguing that the case raises serious concerns about free speech, political dissent, and the rights of local communities to oppose large-scale developments. They criticize law enforcement's response and suggest that opposition to data centers is increasingly being portrayed as a security threat or form of extremism.
The conversation expands into broader concerns about AI infrastructure, surveillance, government power, corporate influence, civil liberties, and the relationship between technology companies and public policy. Throughout the segment, the two argue that growing data center construction and AI-driven development are reshaping communities while distracting the public with divisive political and cultural issues.
