JD Vance Outlines the Great American Manufacturing Comeback—'Build, Build, Build!'

Vice President JD Vance spoke at the American Dynamism Summit Tuesday and argued that we need to embrace artificial intelligence—not be scared of it—and that the administration wants to engineer a "great American manufacturing comeback."

First, he talked about AI and its potential, despite its dangers:

Vice President Vance said Tuesday America should not be fearful of artificial intelligence (AI) and other new technologies, and he argued during a speech to technology and business leaders that populists and tech-focused leaders could co-exist.
Vance addressed the American Dynamism Summit, a gathering hosted by venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz in Washington, D.C., where he made the case for embracing artificial intelligence despite its potential risks.
“In America, we’ve got to be tech-forward. Yes, there are concerns. Yes there are risks, but we have to be leaning into the AI future with optimism and hope, because I think real technological innovation is going to make our country stronger,” Vance said.
The vice president told attendees that America should “seek to dominate” AI and other new technologies. He invoked a speech he delivered in Paris last month in which he warned against “excessive regulation” of AI.

He then focused on a key administration goal: making American manufacturing great again.

The Trump administration's great plan for staging the great American manufacturing comeback is simple. You're making interesting new things here in America—great.

Then we're going to cut your taxes, we're going to slash regulations, we're going to reduce the cost of energy so that you can build, build, build. Our goal is to incentivize investment in our own borders, in our own businesses, our own workers, and our own innovation.

We don't want people seeking cheap labor, we want them investing and building right here in the United States of America.

The Trump plan for the great American comeback is simple: We want companies to invest right here in America—in our own workers and factories.

That means cutting taxes, slashing regulations, and unleashing energy so we can become the industrial powerhouse of the next century. pic.twitter.com/DCmKZNVkEE

The VP went on to excoriate globalism and cheap labor in a "masterclass":

🚨 THIS IS A MASTERCLASS: VP JD Vance just absolutely excoriated the whole premise behind globalism.

Future of the Republican Party right here. He says the solution to globalists' hunger for cheap labor in other countries is to bring back American innovation. He is RIGHT.… pic.twitter.com/uxZKMk4D4j

The vice president has turned out to be a strong second in command for Donald Trump and looks to be in a dominant position for the ’28 presidential race. Could we be watching a Republican dynasty in the making?

JD Vance continues to impress.
