The Josh Hammer Show

The Dumb Data Center Debate and the INSANE Lindsay Clancy Defenses

August 20, 2026·40 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Josh opens today’s show by taking on the growing data center craze sweeping communities across the country. As Americans increasingly push back against massive AI data centers being built in their own backyards, Josh asks how much of that opposition is justified—and how much has gone completely off the rails. He explains why there are legitimate reasons to be concerned about the impact of these facilities, but argues that some of the more extreme claims are actually undermining the case against them. Josh then turns to the Lindsay Clancy trial and the controversy surrounding those defending her after the deaths of her three children. Josh takes aim at the extremes on both sides of the case and explains why the conversation is losing sight of what should actually matter most: three children lost their lives. Finally, Josh tackles Los Angeles’ ongoing homelessness crisis following Wednesday’s mayoral debate. He reacts to revealing comments from both candidates and what they say about the direction of the city.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
