SPEAKER 05 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Here’s a story from Politico. This happened in my hometown of Festus, Missouri. The city council, every half of the city council, over half was fired over a data center deal. Now, Festus is how far away from downtown St. Louis is that maybe 40 minutes south, 45 minutes south of St. Louis? So the city council is getting a makeover. Voters last week ousted every single incumbent that was up for reelection. And it was all because of data centers. They were unhappy with the council’s proposal of a $6 billion data center. And they cleaned up 12,000 people right there along the Mississippi River. And it’s the latest in the backlash against these data centers. I told you earlier that I was really looking forward to our conversation. We’re going to bring our good friend Stephen Yates on here in a half a second because but I was getting weirded out by a lot of this pushback because who benefits from it? It seemed too cute by half, too manufactured, too organized. And I don’t like if it’s not a little bit chaotic, I’m immediately suspect. And then it came out that there’s apparently a big, giant foreign push against this. It’s a big push. It’s Chinese propaganda, a network of foreign dark money linked to campaigns against data centers. And I read that. That was a story on Fox News. It was in a couple of other places. I think the Free Beacon touched on it. So wait a minute. Is this organic? Are we being psyoped into opposing data centers so that China can take the lead on this? Because there’s a responsible way to do it, but that’s not being discussed. What’s being pushed is don’t do it at all. So because it’s Chinese related, we got to talk to our very good friend, Stephen Yates, who is the guy to talk to on this. He is an expert on all things China. He served in not one, but two presidential administrations. And he’s the senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation. You can find him on X at Steve Yates. My friend, it’s good to see you. So are my suspicions correct? Because it just seems. Because it seems very similar to the COVID and the masking and all of that kind of stuff, right? It’s like the same people that were promoting the vaccine cards and getting the injections and six feet of separation and all this stuff. I noticed that a lot of these entities are the same entities that are promoting banning any and all data centers. And the moment that I start agreeing with anybody on the left, I immediately do an inventory just to make sure I’m still principally right. So where do you fall on this? Because I find it very suspicious.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, it doesn’t surprise me that someone who cut her teeth as a hard-charging grassroots reporter in Tea Party times would have a pretty accurate radar for what is grassroots and organic and what is astroturf. And I think there is a real heavy flavor of astroturf in all of this. You hit at a lot of the signals. I saw a lot of this with the flash mob protests after October 7th, 2023, when all of a sudden there’s ready-made signs for lunatic campaign occupation, kinds of things that were just like the homeless kids for the Occupy Wall Street movement. This is a playbook that has been used over and over and over. It’s obviously not organic. It’s not an intellectual movement. These people can barely brush their teeth. And this is something that, unfortunately, when it is well-funded with modern social media, you can get otherwise good folk out in the hinterland and say, hey, this is a big construction project. There’s a lot of money. Is it going to affect jobs? Is it going to take our water? There’s all kinds of things that are legitimate considerations. But the speed and organization of the opposition, I think, is a huge tell. And it definitely does come down to your threshold judgment of ultimately who benefits from this. Because China doesn’t allow its people to stand in the way if it’s going to build a concentration camp or a data center or a factory to make clothing. It just does what it does. And there isn’t a regulatory roadblock in a way. And in the United States, there are these things that are open. And unfortunately, our politics and communications are open because we like freedom. But we have to find a way to have some kind of a radar and guard against being manipulated by those overseas. And there’s a guy named Neville Singham who has been identified as a big benefactor of a lot of these dark money campaigns in the United States. And I think this is one of them.
SPEAKER 05 :
yes and the so there was a report that was let me pull this up a report that came out uh this was from the bitcoin policy institute that mentions this exactly what you’re talking about and it looks at the geopolitical rivalry of why china would oppose these data center build-outs because they want to be able to control global ai they want to be able to dominate in in in ai leadership And what the Bitcoin Policy Institute was saying is that, yeah, there is an absolute influence operation, a campaign against American AI. And this Singham guy that you just mentioned, he, Code Pink, and a bunch of different… Chinese communist adjacent groups have been spending lots of money and a lot of time fueling opposition to AI infrastructure and data center expansion. That comes from the Bitcoin Policy Institute, Fox News, even Reason Magazine was writing about this. And that makes sense because if they I mean, you have to be able to have these data centers. But if we don’t build them, then Stephen, who builds them?
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, the Chinese, I’m sure, are stepping up and building up that infrastructure in the longer term. I do think that there is a consideration with the amount of compute that has to be done and the amount of resources that will be taken. This is another reason why I strongly support a modification of our space strategy, because I think we have to have much higher cadence of going to places like the moon. We’re going to have to use reusable rockets, and that’s where government programs will never succeed, and we’re going to have to public-private partnership. And if we get to the moon and operate in space, there’s a lot of this that can be done out there where we don’t have to worry about taking resources from hometown America. So we’re really talking about building out a sufficient infrastructure to keep the lead that we have now between now and when the space-based option becomes viable. And that’s obviously years off, but we wanted to make it as few years as possible. In the meantime, China is going to do everything it can to knock the stool out from under our feet when we’re trying to step up to this leadership role. We can really expect no less, but we ought to return the favor to them.
SPEAKER 05 :
And correct me if I’m wrong on this, but isn’t all of theirs? I mean, theirs is all like CCP subsidized, like everything that they’re doing with AI and data centers in China is all government subsidized. So that almost gives them like another advantage in addition to the PSYOP campaign that they’re trying to perpetuate against Americans, because here it’s all it’s all private. I’m not advocating for government. Don’t mistake me for government to get involved and do it. But the restrictions and then the way that now you have voters that are really turning out. I mean, I’ve never seen people in Festus, Missouri, a little town by the Mississippi that they all turned out and they they’ve never done that. That’s people are very motivated on this. So how to combat it? And do you think that the administration is doing enough to combat this?
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, first, China definitely isn’t playing on a level playing field. You don’t own land in China. The state does. And so, obviously, the price for them to have the land necessary to do this is zero. The price for anyone in America to do it is considerably more than zero. We even get taxed after we buy and allegedly own land. So they have a number of advantages that would make price distortions, economists might say. So not a level playing field. And in terms of the information environment in our own country and how we sort of combat this, I think the administration is doing its level best. I mean, the first thing is we have to use the pulpits we have to tell people, hey, I’m not telling you what to think, but you might want to consider who benefits from this. And oh, by the way, here’s a few data point or two about why some of the things that are going through these campaigns may not be what you would call the truth. And so maybe don’t believe everything that involuntarily pops up on your social media feed. Maybe if you hear something that’s coming too quickly and is way too polished, let your spidey senses go up the way Dana Lash’s spidey senses go up when that is happening. And that, we need more of our citizens to watch out for that. Because if they haven’t noticed by now, over the last 10 years, we have been flooded with these kind of manipulative campaigns. Some of them are domestic, and we should watch out for those. But the foreign ones, it’s not about the Russians trying to hijack an election. It’s the mind control and manipulation of decisions down at the local level where they sort of out-compete us at the grassroots level up. They don’t have to worry about a summit between the presidents if we’re already sort of knocked down off of our stilts at the local level.
SPEAKER 05 :
And even aren’t even a lot of the domestic NGOs that have been pushing this. From my understanding, correct me if I’m wrong on this, they are loaded with CCP cash. Like all of a sudden they just came into all of this money and they’ve been doing, you know, ad buys, buying through Facebook, you know, doing that targeted advertising digitally to try to influence people on this. I’ve seen some of it even come up on my feeds. Yeah. For all the talk that people had over the election in Kentucky about foreign interference, I haven’t been hearing nothing from these same people about the foreign interference here.
SPEAKER 09 :
No, and this is a little bit too high IQ for them to follow. This actually takes effort. And I think we’re going to need to rely on some of our investigatory and law enforcement elements of government to do some briefings that give real data, real accounts, real things that people should understand and watch out for. That hasn’t been done yet. I mean, in fairness to them, we are dealing with a range of challenges from the world today that is unlike anything I’ve ever lived through. So many people are worried about energy prices because of the Straits of Hormuz. They’re worried about all kinds of price problems because of unfair practices from China. We still have questions about Cuba, Venezuela and cartels and fun stuff in our own hemisphere. I mean, there’s frankly a lot on everyone’s plate. and for an administration to communicate effectively, that’s hard in all of that. But this is one of those things that is a civilizational challenge, an existential challenge, and an economic security challenge. So I hope they get their voice and do this. There are some people who are very good on tech policy and economic policy. One of them is the Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs, Jacob Helberg. He does this, what’s called Pax Silica. It talks about technology and how we’re going to win the AI race. This is all related. So we’ve got good people. We just need to get them on more audiences, I think.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, I agree with that because this messaging and I look and we all understand people’s concern. Right. We because they’re being told, look, you’re going to have a giant data center built in your town. It’s going to eat up all your water. It’s going to make your power go up exponentially. But nobody really takes the time to dive into it. and really examine the effects of existing data centers on towns in which they’ve been built nearby, not like in the middle of. But there’s so much, as you were saying, there’s so much of this organized, controlled push against it It’s just trying to get the facts of this out because, I mean, it’s like this might be a throwback, but doesn’t it seem kind of like it’s going back to the days of Napster and MP3s and all of that? It’s here. You have to adapt to it, but you can’t shut it off completely. Otherwise, the communists then do we really want the communists running A.I.? ? That’s the big question.
SPEAKER 09 :
That’s the fundamental race for the future. I don’t think that our politicians are misleading us on that. I think that that is a very, very real race. I think we have an AI race. We have a chips race. We have a space race. All of those three things are vital to America staying in the lead and being able to basically make the most of this unipolar moment. And we have the ability to smoke the Chinese in competition if we play right and fair and smart. And so we’ve got to do that. And frankly, whether it comes down to data centers, we should have more grassroots mobilization against, say, the consolidation of food processing and meat packing and things like that, because that is ultimately what is also Chinese-invested and Chinese-controlled and consolidated. And that will have a bigger impact on our food supply. and running jobs out of rural America than any data center ever will. So we also need to have some sense of priorities about where this challenge is coming from so we don’t take the bait to fight the wrong one while we sort of lose our shirts on the other side.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s a great point, too, about the meat manufacturing, the packing, all of that. That’s the abattoir, so to speak. That’s a very good point on that. Steven Yates, at steveyatesonx, always a pleasure, my friend. Thank you for breaking this down and bringing the clarity. It’s good to see you. Have a great weekend.
SPEAKER 09 :
Thanks so much, Dana. Take good care.
SPEAKER 05 :
You too. We have more to come, folks, as we wrap up this today’s show. Our partners that make it possible are friends over at Relief Factor. You guys are very familiar with Relief Factor. And if you’re not, just let me tell you, if you’re one of those individuals dealing with everyday aches and pains, whether it is soreness from working out. Maybe you have stiffness from an old injury, or maybe you’re just elevated and supreme in age, perhaps, and you just want to make sure that you’re staying active and being comfortable. It doesn’t matter. Relief factor is what you use to help treat it because it’s 100% drug-free, research-based formula designed to fight inflammation. Now, inflammation, that’s the root cause of most pain. This is not a temporary fix. So relief factor works from the inside out to support your body’s natural response to pain. And it helps you get back to doing all of the things that you want to do. So I have a friend who is a bodybuilder. She competes semi-professionally and she takes relief factor because she gets sore. She deals with inflammation when she works out. My husband takes it because he has he had an old knee injury from football, years of football and hockey. And it bothers him. And, you know, he doesn’t want to have to go the whole route of getting surgery. So he takes relief factor to help out with that. And he notices real relief from it. You can do the same thing. Do what they did. Try the three week quick start. It’s just 1995. Visit relief factor dot com. You can call 800 number for relief and you can try it for yourself. and see the difference. Be free from pain and soreness and stiffness. Relieffactor.com, 800-4-RELIEF.

SPEAKER 05 :
Do you guys remember Schlitz beer? What? OK, when I was in elementary school, my mom dressed me as a hobo and she put a Schlitz. I saw the photo of the Schlitz beer shirt on me and put a pillow underneath it. And I had clown makeup on. I don’t know. But anyway, Schlitz, I didn’t honestly didn’t know they were still going. They’ve been retired after 177 years as the Pabst. Brewing company ceases production. So you better go get your Schlitz on while you can. So I love… They said one of the guys that works there said… Well, they didn’t have clean drinking water at the time, so everybody drank Schlitz beer. Actually, that’s really how a lot of beer was… That’s really why. Let’s see. Mussolini’s granddaughter wins Italy’s Celebrity Big Brother. That’s really weird. She’s… Yeah, I don’t know. I don’t know about this. She won Alessandra Mussolini, 63. She’s a former stage or former actress and an MP, member of parliament. She apparently won over viewers and they, yeah, they, wow. Okay. All right. There you go. I don’t know. But she was like, she’s for a lot of stuff that I think that she would have been killed for. Like, she does, she has a lot of lefty stuff, the alphabet stuff she supports. So, are you really a fascist? I don’t know. Let’s see here. The world has six months. The UN says the straight over news means the world has six months to avert a major food crisis. I don’t believe this. Let’s go to the monkeys, though. Let’s see. A couple stuffed three monkeys in their britches in a sick smuggling bid. One of the monkeys suffocated. Oh, whoa. What a horrible way to go, man. That’s horrible. It’s a Colombian couple. They had three baby monkeys. They’ve been completely arrested. And all they had a picture of the dead one. They put a picture of the dead one out on a table for. But they’re like those little capuchin kind of monkeys. That’s so sad. Our partners that bring you the program. It’s the folks at Burn a Gun. I’ve told you guys a million times I carry. I have no issue throwing lead at a threat to my life or that of my loved ones. But I also know that sometimes you go to places or you’re required to go to places where you cannot carry because your Second Amendment rights are abridged. And heaven forbid, we know that they’re not going to provide security for you. So you need to have a diverse array of defensive tools at the ready. And this is where Berna comes in. It is another option of readiness. So it’s truly accessible. I mean, the Burna gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. The only model you need for this purpose is the Burna compact launcher, the CL. It’s about the size of an iPhone, but it also shoots the same chemical irritant projectiles. But this thing is you can conceal it, and it has a 15-round shot capacity per cartridge. You compare that to stun guns or tasers, you’ve got one or two rounds there. And it is very easy to use. Doesn’t care about gun-free zone signs. Order it online. There’s no background check. There’s no additional fee. There’s no tax stamp. They ship it right to your house. And, like I said, doesn’t care about gun-free zone signs because it’s not a gun. Visit Burna.com slash Dana and check out the Burna CL. That’s B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Dana.
SPEAKER 08 :
The Biden EPA face-planted when trying to jam through their restrictions. Americans who wanted to be able to fix their equipment were instead being required to buy far more costly new equipment, and that just doesn’t make any sense. Refrigeration trucks were being handed impossible restrictions to meet. And once again, here we are in the Oval Office. President Trump is righting another wrong. At the Trump EPA, we are proudly implementing President Trump’s agenda every single day and delivering for the American people.
SPEAKER 09 :
Thank you very much. Thank you.
SPEAKER 02 :
Please. Thank you, Mr. President. And thank you, Lee. Look, on behalf of the Kroger company, and we operate about 2,700 supermarkets.
SPEAKER 05 :
I didn’t realize he was, what is he, Australian? I didn’t realize that he, foreign interference, foreign interference, foreign influence. And then after, because who speaks after? My favorite is the Piggly Wiggly guy that Trump is very impressed with who speaks because he has a drawl unlike anything I have ever heard of. And sometime it is a proper drawl. Welcome to the radio program. Dana Lash with you. It is Thursday and we’re listening to this ongoing press conference. I know POTUS is going to speak again. And this he’s rolling back restrictions, as you were hearing. And I thought Lee Zeldin. gave a good description of what they’re dealing with. It’s this EPA, it’s the 2023 technology transitions rule, and it has to do with emissions standards, right? So what this rule, this Biden era rule was doing was restricting the type of refrigerant apparently that you are allowed to use. So what you’re hearing from a lot of these grocers who have to store and transport You know refrigerated or frozen goods and a lot of these restaurant tours who have to store and serve refrigerated and frozen goods They were being made to get rid of perfectly good even if they were new systems and change to this I Don’t know one of my friends is in the restaurant industry. I can’t tell you what He called it because I’ll get fined immediately but From I couldn’t I didn’t even know this until a friend of mine was opening a restaurant and they had like a two week delay and it had literally to do with us. Not even kidding you. And I I didn’t even know that this was a problem that was plaguing not just the restaurant industry, but also. the transport. So like you, the guy from Kroger, who’s, well, this is the Piggly Wiggly guy. I love his drawl, by the way. The Piggly Wiggly guy’s drawl is amazing. But they were explaining that it made it to where it was, they were making it to where it was more difficult to store and transport frozen or refrigerated food. And then the systems that they were being forced to use as replacements were were two times more expensive and they didn’t work as well. So there was one during this press conference, there was one woman, I think it was the woman who was discussing it. And she had said that the system that she had to use, that they were going to force her, it like broke within two years. Like there was already a major issue. And the Biden era ruled they were going to force all of these people to do this. They were going to force all of them to do it, regardless. And there was one individual who spoke at this press avail here, and he was explaining how he was one grocery store in a county of 10,000 people. So first off, imagine that. You’re one grocery store in a county of 10,000 people. And The enforcement of this rule would probably have to make him shut his doors because it was so prohibitively expensive. It’s like they made it so expensive you couldn’t even hope to switch to that kind of a system. And remember, this was a part of those restrictions. Some of them… I remember it was the first two months of Biden’s administration. And we were joking about how he was extending essentially all of these Obama era restrictions. Remember how Obama was going after phosphates and dish soap and light bulbs and all this stupid stuff that really had no impact at all, by the way, on the environment, which is the other thing that Lee Zeldin mentioned in this press avail. They’ve studied this. The Trump administration actually commissioned a study on this. There’s literally no effect on the environment from any of these restaurateurs or transport companies using the existing refrigerant. There’s literally no impact at all whatsoever to the environment. It was a made up thing. And so he’s rolling it back, this 2023 technology transitions rule, and they’re making corrections to the emission standards. And so it’s the I’m going to get real scientific. You might know what this is, Cain. So they are delaying the hydrofluorocarbon phase down and equipment leak repair mandates. So that’s what it is. So that’s going to help ease costs. Now, the costs that they’re talking about easing are going to end up being like $2.5 billion. That’s for customers. That’s the estimated that’s after everything flows down to the customer. It’s saving customers two and a half billion dollars. So every single regulation and restriction that was passed under the Biden administration, Trump has been rolling it back. And so the that I mean, one of the reasons that you may have been seeing increases if you go out to eat and prices is literally because of this. Literally because of this. So it’s crazy to think about something that that’s like that in the weeds has such a dramatic impact on pricing and business. I mean, think about it. You have like the one guy was talking about the one store in a county of 10,000. He closes that store. Then what happens to everybody in that area? They have to drive twice as long and probably are going to be paying more. And that’s gas money. I mean, just think about the ripple effect all of this that all of this has. So this was the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute. They they were the ones they’re like a lefty thing. They were criticizing grocery stores that would. were demanding that this be rolled back. But they said that all of the other, like the industries for the transport, the restaurateur industry, all of these other industries have been pushing to get this rolled back. And by the way, they’re also looking at the wastewater limitations for coal-fired power plants. That’s a separate thing. So this is like one of the big climate change things that’s crashed and burned. My concern, though, is that it’s an executive order. So this isn’t a legislative move. So if there isn’t a Republican president in 28, just as quickly as easily as Trump did this, it could be reinstituted. And, you know, it will be. So that’s my only concern. If that explains to you what you’re seeing, that’s it’s actually it sounds like it’s really in the weeds. But this is this is one of the things that actually has an absolute immediate impact on you, your groceries, what you’re buying, everything. Our partners that bring you the program, it’s the friends over at Native Path, Native Path. is the place to go for collagen. It was invented by a doctor who spent years looking for clean collagen for his patients. There was always something wrong with something, with any of the things that he tried. So he created Native Path. And this is collagen your body can actually use. You know, when you turn 30, your body produces 1% to 2% less collagen every year. That’s the protein that keeps your bones dense, cushions your joints, firms your skin. It also helps with vitamin D production, hormones, everything. And a lot of people lose it and they lose a lot of it without even knowing it. So this is where native path collagen comes in. It’s grass fed and it’s clean. It dissolves easily in coffee or water. There’s no taste, no clumping. There’s no chalk taste like you would get from some of this stuff. And this, you know, this is really the way to go. You’re getting just the best collagen that you can get and you’re getting that protein. That, you know, the hair, the nails, all of it. And right now they also are offering 45% off your purchase.

This first headline that I have reminds me completely of this meme where it says, oh, this candle, two women are talking, they’re shopping, and she’s like, this candle smells like fireball. And the other woman goes, Cynthia, that’s called cinnamon. So this is Polk County, Florida. A woman was arrested with 21 open bottles of fireball whiskey after she crashed out on her golf course. Yeah, that done happened. They laid out the fireball on all the bottles on the police’s, on the boot of the car. They said that it was a single crash, single vehicle crash, 34-year-old Erica Meyer of Palmetto. She was not injured, but she was entirely slurry, incoherent, and unbalanced. She literally was driving her vehicle across everything. She said that she had not consumed any alcohol except she had, and then she had a tin pack of Fireball and like a bunch of open bottles. We have a lot more on the way as we move. Our partners that help bring you the program, it’s our friends over at Ghost Bed. I think they make the best mattress out there.

SPEAKER 05 :
So this guy’s saving ducks. I wouldn’t be doing this. I mean, would I want to save the ducklings? Yeah, but… There’s one thing that you’re missing in this. This what you’re watching is this is exactly how clowns rip people’s arms off. Just like that. OK, he saved all them ducklings. Is he trying to pull that out more so the clown can get out? That’s what he’s trying to do. He’s going to go. All the clowns are going to bite his head off. There’s a clown down there. He’s getting all these ducklings out.
SPEAKER 04 :
Saving the ducklings.
SPEAKER 05 :
I know. But, you know, I’m going to be honest with you. When I park on the street, if the only parking spot that’s off the street available is over that, I’m not parking by it. I will literally park 5,000 miles away or I’ll go back home. I’m not even kidding. I won’t even. I don’t know what it is. You’ve got to remember, I read it when I was in junior high. That was a trip. And I would read Stephen King and I would be always ever hopeful every time I started one of his books, whether it was the Dark Tower series or whatever. And he just gave up at the end. He just didn’t give a rat’s ass at the end. He just gave up. That’s giant spider. And we’re just going to forget about the whole deadlights altogether. We’re just going to forget about it. But.

Seeing a little Josephine Baker with a little La Conga Blicote. So, looking at our headlines here. How do you get baked dirt? Baked dirt was accidentally served to school kids, apparently. Now, my first thought was, was this dirt cake? You guys know what dirt cake is? Is that only a thing in the South, that dirt cake? Oh, yeah, you do. So, in Maine, a dish of baked dirt was accidentally served during a community supper. Oh. They said it was accidentally a science experiment where students baked dirt to test how plants would grow after it was accidentally confused for a dessert. Three students briefly put some in their mouths before they realized what it was. They said it was absolutely not a prank. It was completely accidental. They are so embarrassed. And you ought to be. How do you not know that? Let’s look at this. This looks like a little tasty treat. Let’s serve this up to the kids. It’s insane. Wow. Oh, thankfully, nobody was hurt. Everybody knows everybody was OK. Let’s see. We had the monkeys in the underwear last headline. So now we’ve got UK police found apparently almost 10 million dollars of cocaine stashed in Kim Kardashian’s brand of underwear. So she has her skims company and apparently nine point four million dollars worth of cocaine was in a shipment of them britches. the skims clothing authority said the national crime agency that apparently they said that this guy was driving a truck carrying 28 pallets of skims clothing from the netherlands he stopped by border patrol officials at a port in essex in september the agency said that the guy stopped on the way to collect a bunch of cocaine and the truck was specially adapted so they could hide the drugs wrapped in packages in the compartment of the doors so the clothing was legitimate it wasn’t connected to the cocaine. So don’t order skim thinking you’re going to get some Hunter Biden booger sugar. Not going to happen.
