That's a third of Manhattan, handed over for one purpose: building a private sector industrial base to secure America's AI supply chain. This is what competing with China actually looks like. Pax Silica is the 14-country coalition behind it, and it's the most ambitious economic security plan America has ever built. Full breakdown on No Priors:

Electricians, the guys who hang drywall, pour concrete, build roads, install equipment." Countries that fell behind on tech paid for it: "No country has ever remained strong economically and militarily by falling behind technologically." "Europe's GDP is 50% smaller than the US, despite having 100 million more people. Blue-collar workers in Europe are not better off.

Jacob Helberg says sovereignty is defined by whoever controls the hardware of the internet: "If you have a foreign government that controls and can instrumentalize its tech companies that operate the hardware of the internet—it fundamentally challenges our traditional conception of sovereignty, because it raises the question: what does it mean to be sovereign when a foreign power knows all the deepest, darkest secrets of all the judges, journalists, and jurists, and politicians in your country." "The definition of sovereignty starts to look very different in a world like that." "And so the first Trump administration carried out and prosecuted a very comprehensive campaign that basically argued that Huawei and ZTE are national security threats. That campaign has been sustained across administrations since then, including this one." Jacob Helberg with Erik Torenberg

Jacob Helberg: The future will belong to the builders. "You need to be able to make things, and the national security strategy that we released actually has a line that's very apt: The future will belong to builders." "What the tariffs do is they change the economics of building—they provide American builders with a re-leveled playing field that makes it economical for them to compete if they build in America." "It's actually in total contrast to what Europe is doing, sadly, where you have super high energy prices, insane regulation, and insanely high taxes. You see the result—a continued deindustrialization of Europe, which is very regrettable." "We think these things are choices, and you can actually reverse them. And we're seeing that play out in real time." Jacob Helberg with Erik Torenberg

Yesterday, Senate Republicans Senate Republicans passed sweeping measures, invoking the NUCLEAR OPTION to speed up the confirmation process for President Trump’s nominees. This morning, President Trump praised the Senate GOP’s work to accelerate the confirmation of his nominations. As I pointed out in my thread last week, the woke UNGA 2025 has begun, and President Trump, along with Secretary of State Rubio Marco Rubio, desperately need Mike Waltz (Mike Waltz), Ben Black, John Jovanovic, and Jacob Helberg confirmed to their respective positions to ensure that UNGA 2025 is not a total disaster and national security risk heightened by UNGA attendees pushing for a Palestinian state, among other issues of concern. Get these names on the Senate calendar ASAP! Thank you, Sen. John Barrasso Leader John Thune

Jacob Helberg says one of Europe’s biggest challenges to building companies is cultural: they’re just not risk-takers like Americans are. "It's really hard for Europe to put those pieces together because the culture in Europe has not been favorable to encouraging risk-taking, which is necessary—it's the lifeblood of starting a business." "You need to have a risk-taking culture—and then they have the unit economics problem where it's just really expensive to build stuff in Europe because your energy bills are really high. You have to spend a ton of money on legal fees before you even start." "It's not that starting things in Europe will be impossible, but they have major headwinds." "We have invested a lot of effort into having truthful, candid conversations with our friends in Europe to actually share our concerns." "When you actually care about someone, you can actually be candid with them. Clear is kind." "We care about Europe. We want them to be strong, and so we are trying to draw their attention to policy issues that we think are serious headwinds for them." Jacob Helberg with Erik Torenberg
