"Americans are the most loving, God-fearing, fair, least discriminatory people on the planet.
They want to know that if you're waking up and thinking about harming American citizens, or if American citizens are taken hostage and kept in dungeons, or if you're a foreign power sending fentanyl to poison our people, something really bad is going to happen to you, your friends, your cousins, your bank account, your mistress, and whoever else was involved.
When Americans are spending a trillion dollars on defense, what I know, what I want, and what I think my peers want is simple: Why are these people keeping our citizens hostage, torturing our people, attacking our allies, and maligning us in what was once called the United Nations—basically a discriminatory institution against anything good?
We need to stand up, and those people need to be scared.
That's why this conference is so important, because we have the best products in the world, and we cannot have parity.
Our adversaries do not have our moral compunction.
If the playing field is even, they will take advantage of our niceness, kindness, and our desire to be at home in Nebraska, New Hampshire, or wherever we live in our peaceful environments.
They need to wake up scared and go to bed scared.
If you give that to the American people, the American people will go back and say—and honestly, I probably shouldn’t say this—this is why I thought the Democrats were going to lose the election, and why they did.
People want to live in peace. They want to go home. They do not want to hear your woke pagan ideology.
They want to know they're safe, and safe means that the other person is scared. That's how you make someone safe.
The average American person understands this.Unfortunately, many of the intellectually captured institutions, funneled and intellectually owned by the Berkeley faculty, do not.
This is what the American people want. It’s also what I want, and it’s what Palantir and everyone in this room, I hope, are here to serve.
My version of service is simple: the soldiers are happier, the enemies are scared, and Americans go back to enjoying the fact that we’re the only ones with a real tech scene in this country, and we’re going to win everything.That’s how I see it."
