Breaking With the Far Left on AI, Energy and Israel

0:00 Speaker 1 Calling in right now is Senator John Fetterman, and he’s a common-sense senator, and he’s working very hard for our country and to make our country even do better. Well, Senator Fetterman, Pennsylvania is doing a lot, lot better. I understand that the federal government is building data centers and is providing a lot of money in Pennsylvania to– to

0:30 increase Pennsylvania’s business. Tell us about it. Yeah, absolutely.

0:35 Speaker 2 Thank you for having me back on. Now, yeah, I’m a Democrat and whether I’m common sense, whatever, but sure, I’m a very, very pro-business and very pro-America and the American way of life. And now, you know, we must win the war for AI over China. And that’s why I’m still very supportive of data centers and A lot

0:59 of the opposition and these opinions have emerged from paid kinds of misinformation from the Chinese because they definitely want to win, and they want to build as many data centers, and of course they can do it anything that they want.

1:14 Look at the statistics. It’s not water guzzlers, and it is not taking up mass amounts of land. Really, all you have to do is see this is tiny, tiny, tiny fractions of a percent. And this is part of this misinformation and why it’s so important that America really wins.

1:39 And I’m always eager and happy to work with my good friend, Dave McCormick. And I think he’s one of the things we agree, but without a doubt. You know, we just can’t afford to lose to the Chinese.

1:55 Speaker 1 Well, Senator, Democrats, Republicans always work together, and they always sat down at the end of the day and made a deal for whatever is good for America. And there’s a lot of business coming into the United States because of bringing business back to America. Tell us what industries are coming into America. Pennsylvania, that are going to be

2:22 very helpful. And you may be short of people to run them.

2:27 Speaker 2 Yeah, absolutely. Energy, too. Energy, my God. I mean, Pennsylvania is a powerhouse of energy. And just no different than natural gas, there was this misinformation, and they tried to stunt or even destroy that entire industry. And now we’ve all realized that Energy is national security, and then you marry that to data centers and AI. I mean, you know,

2:56 I’d point out that Dave McCormick put together this amazing symposium earlier last year, and he bring these two industries together and power that from Pennsylvania, you know, someone’s going to win this race and the future for AI. It’s got to be us because our lead continues to shrink.

3:19 And now we continue to follow the polls or call for moratoriums or talk about getting rid of fossil fuels. It’s just more misinformation or just dishonest kinds of overall. Yes.

3:36 Speaker 2 Politically, they’re becoming more damaging, but I’m always going to tell my voters what I think is true and what’s really necessary, really about meeting the moment, what’s critical now.

3:52 Speaker 1 Understood. And what else would you like to tell people on a Thursday night?

3:59 Speaker 2 Yeah, I’d also like to remind people, you know, America are the good guys. We are the right side of history. And I think it’s entirely appropriate and necessary to continue to strangle the Iranian economy. I think it’s fantastic that their currency is virtually worthless. And now imagine the kinds of shambles that its economy is after this war. So

4:29 another issue that I happen to agree with, but as a Democrat, I have very principled kinds of take things. So politically, it’s unpopular, but it’s important, and now it’s all part of standing with Israel and reminding people also Israel is the force of good and democracy and Western civilization in that region and the world, too. So if

4:54 people call that common sense, well, I think that’s a Democrat that’s willing to work with the other side or fight for, I think, the moral clarities in those circumstances.

5:07 Speaker 1 Senator, it’s always been the right way to do. Democrats and Republicans have always worked together. It just seems to be a few problems in the last five to ten years. And before that, you know, as I told you, I worked for Bill Clinton, and Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich got along well together. And don’t forget, under Bill Clinton

5:27 and Newt Gingrich, the deficit went from $ 5. 5 trillion down to $ 5 trillion, and we just passed $ 40 million.

5:37 Speaker 2 Well, and also we have these garbage kind of people like El-Sayed in Michigan. You know, like I don’t care he’s a fellow Democrat. You know, like, you know, these are the kind of people that our party is picking.

5:52 Look at what was happening in Maine now, too. You know, like accused rapists. And look at these kinds of other terrible communists and socialists and these people. you know, our party has a socialism problem and that’s continued to surge.

6:10 And yeah, and I’ll be at least the one Democrat to call it what it is and not use a euphemism that it’s a big tent situation. You know, the kinds of thing and the people, you know, now here in New York, coming up on the 9th, the 25th anniversary, Democrats like El-Sayed are gonna proud to campaign with with

6:32 garbage like Hassan Piker. So call this out what it is. You know, America deserved 9-11. You know, that’s exactly what the kind of people are campaigning with.

6:47 Speaker 1 Senator Fetterman, thank you for coming on. And let’s talk again real soon.
