And it certainly seems like it's a good time in the age of AI to have a lot of, you know, indigenous supply chains around manufacturing of both consumer and enterprise equipment. But he's quoted as saying, it'll be the first time in over twenty years that... It... It'll be the first first time in over twenty years that a laptop was made in America. And I wanna fact check that. And I think it's actually worse than what he said. I think he was underselling it. I think it is, like, way over twenty years. I think the last one that the American made laptop went into production, like, '93. But Jackson over there on our team, who's dressed down today, there's no Dale Earnhardt going on. A little quiet luxury going on in the ultra Brutal. But he... So this is the blue chip. This is from for... This is from Andoril and Qualcomm. It's built for government defense, first responders, and public safety workers. So maybe the way to get your hands on this volunteer firefighter, you know, volunteer police officer, you do some ride alongs, they give you the blue chip maybe. I don't know. This is gonna be a hot commodity. So any way you can get your hand on it, is, is probably valuable. [00:04:51] S0: Quick breaking news. [00:04:53] S1: What's about? [00:04:53] S0: It is Nollie's in the YouTube chat's birthday. [00:04:56] S1: Oh, birthday. [00:04:57] S0: That's great too. Have you here today. Hope you're having a wonderful... I hope it's the best birthday of your life.

[00:04:57] S0: That's great too. Have you here today. Hope you're having a wonderful... I hope it's the best birthday of your life. [00:05:04] S1: Wow. Is it... Is that... Is his is the birthday too close to Christmas? Is there... Is this a birthday that you're like, oh, people are gonna start gifting you, like, combined gifts? Because they're like, oh, your birthday is so close to Christmas. Only fifty days apart. [00:05:17] S0: Saying that to me? [00:05:18] S1: No. To him. Fifty... He's fifty day... Fifty eight days away. [00:05:20] S0: But I'm I know. [00:05:22] S1: I'm I'm hours. I never realized that about you. That's like... I mean, I I obviously knew, but the the implications and the ramifications, you know, changed you as a person. [00:05:34] S0: Yeah. This may as well be road to my birthday. [00:05:37] S1: Yes. Yes. But it's it's sort of foundational lore, like like you were born, you know, so close to Christmas. [00:05:43] S0: No. I was born [00:05:44] S1: spirit is embedded in you. [00:05:47] S0: The farthest I could possibly be away from Christmas. [00:05:50] S1: Oh, yeah. So you had to grind. [00:05:52] S0: So for me, my whole life...... [00:05:53] S1: Sixty four days a [00:05:54] S2: year. All I [00:05:55] S0: knew Yeah. All I knew was that that initial road. [00:05:58] S1: It's kind of a nightmare. Yeah. Okay. So you're... [00:06:00] S0: But it formed me into the man I am today.
00:06:00 · Jordi Hays, John Coogan
[00:06:00] S0: But it formed me into the man I am today. [00:06:02] S1: When you were in the delivery room being born into this world, you had the hardest road to Christmas possible. Yeah. Three hundred and sixty four days till Christmas. That's brutal. Glad you overcame that. It's it's impressive what you've done. Anyways. [00:06:17] S0: Nollies. Thanks for being here with us. Happy birthday. And back to the show. [00:06:21] S1: Anyway, let's pull up the Blue Chip launch video because I wanna see what Palmer Lucky has to say about this new American made laptop from his own voice.

[00:06:21] S1: Anyway, let's pull up the Blue Chip launch video because I wanna see what Palmer Lucky has to say about this new American made laptop from his own voice. [00:06:32] S3: America built the first electronic computer to win a war. During World War II, the US Army Ordnance Corps needed a faster way to accurately calculate artillery firing trajectories. So American engineers built the world's first modern computer, and that breakthrough kicked off an entire industry that changed the world. Then we gave it away. We outsourced the manufacturing of the technology that we invented. Now, we depend on other countries, including our greatest strategic adversaries, to make all of the hardware that runs our businesses, powers our economy, and protects our national security. That's insane. Any country that can't build its own computers can't secure them. If you don't control your technology, you can't control your future. Eighty years ago, America pioneered modern computing to defend our nation. Now, we're bringing it home. This is Blue Chip. American designed, American built. Other companies might design their computers in The US, and Enderl makes them here. Yet we're making parts out of metals that The US knows how to extract, knows how to refine, knows how to process, and knows how to mill at scale at a reasonable price. And that goes for the entire laptop. The same thing goes for the battery technology. We need to design things that survive very, very rough environments. [00:07:48] S1: And so
00:07:48 · John Coogan, Palmer Luckey, Jordi Hays, Tyler
[00:07:48] S1: And so [00:07:48] S3: what we've designed is a chassis that makes it very, very easy to replace the bottom shell and even the top shell, you can easily integrate things like solar panels, other soft goods, other service insignias, even things... [00:08:00] S0: Imagine LARPing with this. [00:08:03] S1: Yeah. When I'm a volunteer firefighter, I'm gonna be pulling [00:08:05] S3: this out.... America's comeback. Andrew's making sure that the machines we depend on every day are machines we can actually manufacture ourselves.... [00:08:12] S1: If I do. This hat frustrates Jordy incessantly. [00:08:17] S3: This is America's birthright. [00:08:18] S1: Because he doesn't have one and he wants one. Time to bring back to the valley. Okay. So couple problems with this launch video. There was... There were no... There's no video of Caveman making fire. There there was no video of the Model t. [00:08:32] S0: No Wright Brothers. [00:08:33] S1: No Wright Brothers. No Wright Brothers. And then no moon landing. [00:08:36] S0: How did they feel? How am I supposed to know what to feel? [00:08:39] S1: Yeah. And then no nuclear bomb detonating. Just actual relevant footage to the product that they're launching. [00:08:46] S4: Yeah. [00:08:46] S1: And a direct history and clear message from the founder and the creator. Make it make sense. Yeah. It's sort of odd. [00:08:55] S0: Really bucking the trend. I don't even know what to think about it. [00:08:57] S1: It's contrarian. It might work, but it seems so risky to not include at least at least a scientist.
00:08:57 · John Coogan, Jordi Hays, Gavin Baker
[00:08:57] S1: It's contrarian. It might work, but it seems so risky to not include at least at least a scientist. [00:09:04] S0: Thirty to sixty seconds. Yeah. [00:09:07] S1: Yeah. Cut really fast, you know. Yeah. [00:09:09] S0: Yeah. Three seconds. Three seconds. Three seconds. [00:09:12] S1: Yeah. Yeah. Like, the... I mean, at this point, like, the the the rules have been established. You have to copy the Founders Fund Vibrio if you're launching anything. Doesn't matter what you're launching. [00:09:22] S0: What was it? 2019? It was 2019 or... 2020. [00:09:25] S1: Yeah. Annual meeting twenty twenty, something like that. [00:09:28] S2: Yeah. [00:09:29] S1: Mike over there, fantastic. Kind of invented the genre of Vibrio and, of course, mixed a lot of things together in an interesting way that was not just pure tech. There's a whole bunch of other culture stuff in there. But this is... Know, jokes aside, this is a great launch video because it's only giving you the b roll for the... For what's relevant. So, like, he's talking about the history of the American made computer, and they show you what the military was up to at that time. And then he talks about the computer that they made, and they show you the computer. Yeah. It's like, this is the way you do a launch video. Very, very exciting. [00:10:07] S0: Yeah. The Vibrio launch video is so dead. You can only bring it back in the year 2050. Buy 2050 Yeah. I think it will be kind of a cool nod Yeah. To the twenty twenties Sure. To use it. Be kind of like an if you know, you know thing. Yeah. Yeah. And it'll be fresh again.
