• National Security Angle: Keeping AI/tech jobs and advancements in the U.S. is imperative to outpace global adversaries.

  • Quote:
    • "For every AI factory that we build, we have to build eight adjacent factories... These are the people that are scared of data centers right now. They need to see it not as a thing that's to be scared about, but an opportunity." (29:08)
    • "We're staring down the barrel right now, $5 trillion of construction... If we don't solve for this with small businesses and labor from the United States, then...all that technology will...go overseas." (33:04)
