Guest host Russell Dobular discusses the harsh federal sentences handed down to protesters connected to the Prairieland ICE detention center demonstration, highlighting that some defendants received 30-70-year prison terms despite playing minor roles in the protest. Citing critics of the prosecutions, he argues that the case represents a dangerous expansion of terrorism-related charges against political activists, warning that “Americans are being given de facto life sentences for protesting their government” and that “the fascism you worried about is here.”
Dobular draws parallels to concerns raised over the treatment of January 6 defendants and contends that civil liberties must be defended regardless of political affiliation. He concludes that broad terrorism and conspiracy powers used against one political movement today could later be turned against others, making the issue one that “transcends right and left.”
Hakeem Anwar joins Jimmy to warn that 384 hyperscale AI data centers already consume about 10% of US power demand, with 300 more planned that will quadruple AI power use to 40% of the nation's supply, while these centers require enormous amounts of water for cooling—spraying water on chips that get as hot as the surface of the sun—with Google's...
Hakeem Anwar joins Jimmy to warn that 384 hyperscale AI data centers already consume about 10% of US power demand, with 300 more planned that will quadruple AI power use to 40% of the nation's supply, while these centers require enormous amounts of water for cooling—spraying water on chips that get as hot as the surface of the sun—with Google's transparency report admitting water withdrawal is based on "estimates" when metering is unavailable. He notes that a single Kevin O'Leary data center (9 gigawatts) uses more power than the combined global footprint of Google and Microsoft pre-AI, and that these centers cause severe water stress, while companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Google and Apple account for 41% of data center growth.
Anwar argues that the solution is personal choice: ditch big tech devices and replace them with privacy-first alternatives like the Above phone, which has no ads, no tracking, no AI that can't be turned off, and uses open-source software that is self-hostable and not dependent on third-party companies. He acknowledges the risk of being jailed—pointing to crypto pioneers who were put in house arrest while the establishment later embraced crypto—but says he trusts in God and is "doing what I'm called" to do.

New York Times reporters and authors of the new book “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump,” Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, sit down with Jon Stewart to discuss the surprising revelations they uncovered about the Trump administration, like the president being absent from the room when his own team discussed the Epstein files, as well as the motivation behind controversial moves like the tariff policy rollout and the Iran war.
They also speak to how Trump controls the terms when reporters reach him on his cell phone and compare his first term to his second, which they describe as a story of hubris, built on gut feelings and belief from his cabinet that he is someone of destiny – because who else can survive four indictments and two assassination attempts to win the presidency a second time?
