BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): But only 30% of the country approve of data centers. And a lot of it is bad information, and some of it is put out by our competitors slash enemies and that's China, other social media groups that look to influence our elections are realizing, wow, there's a pushback against data centers. Let me join in using bots and other social media aspects and maybe influencers to start turning the American public against data centers, saying they are built on farmland. Maybe in some cases they are. Saying that they're not attractive. Okay, was a steel mill attractive? But was everyone working there? Absolutely. So, I just can't believe how the American public seems to be uneducated about what data centers do on a daily basis. Are you on a console right now playing a video game? Thank a data center for that. Are you texting or are you on a streaming service? Thank a data center for that.
