We're now dealing with a behemoth, a giant of authoritarian potential worldwide that seeks to undermine democracy. And, you know, as long as our companies, as long as our people here are scared of criticizing China, which many companies are, you go to any big tech company, almost all of them will say nothing bad about China or about the CCP or the human rights abuses there.

the national security concerns there because they've been bought off by market access. They want to be able to manufacture their EVs and their cars and whatever else it is that they're making in China.

So we're now in a situation where we have to contend with a world power, an emerging world power that is antithetical to democracy in almost every single way that has become more authoritarian as they've opened up their markets and that seeks to counter U.S. power all over the world. It's a dangerous situation we're in.

So nuclear weapons, significantly different technology from AI. We still don't fully understand what AI has the potential to do. Whereas with the nuclear weapon, that became quite obvious with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the sheer destruction of The guaranteed destruction of World War III was clear and evident right there. But today with AI, you know, this is not a physical bomb.

It's not a physical weapon. It's something that can certainly reshape our society, reshape the way we do things, even the way that we do wage war, but it's not necessarily going to lead to that kind of world cataclysmic event. It could. I mean, I'm not ruling that out, but it's certainly possible.

I do think that there is a key point of significance when making these comparisons between the Cold War I and Cold War II. A lot of Cold War I was won by the U.S. and the West, our allies, because of our technological innovation. And one of the big innovations was in semiconductors with massive government support.

The Silicon Valley that we know today did not exist in the same way in the 1950s to the 80s. It was a site of military testing for semiconductors to try to create the most cutting edge technology that then we could use in our tech.
