We begin with an update on the riots and the need for Republicans to stick the landing on immigration enforcement in the must-pass bills.

Patrick connects the dots between tech donors, David Sacks, and this sudden obsession with AI data centers, 15-minute “freedom cities,” and tokenized currency. He warns that they are creating a parallel economy and that the AI data centers are designed to facilitate a parallel power grid, leaving us with the dregs of energy.  Learn more about your ad choices.
