Inside America's New Defense Tech: Drones, Data and AI with Joe Lonsdale

Everyone. It's Tony Robbins with the Holy Grail of Investing podcast. AI is going to change the world. Dario, who runs and drop it, he's very, very worried. And a lot of people think you've created a god. But I think the right way to look at it, this is a very important industrial revolution. Please walk to the stage, cofounder, volunteer, Joe Isdip. Aztec. Today, my partner and colleague, Christopher Zook, is gonna sit down with one of the greatest entrepreneurs of this generation. That says a lot, I know. But he's someone who doesn't just talk about the future, he's actually building it. We were pretty horrified that our country was under attack, and the FBI spent tens of billions of dollars on stuff that was twenty, thirty years behind Silicon Valley. Before I left the company, we hunted down 9,000 terrorists. Wow. Let that sink in for just a second. How do AI, defense, space, energy fit together in a strategic landscape? There's six levels.

It's tough to invest in defense because you don't know that the revenue is going to be there. We shot down military drones nine and a half times farther away.

Every one of our challenges that we face, there's really good answers that come. And what we cannot afford to get wrong. One big part of that is we can't afford not to fix them. Our guest is none other than Joe Lonsdale, the cofounder of Palantir, one of the most influential companies in the modern world. Joe's also cofounded in back category defining businesses like OpenGov, Ceramic, and Anduril, companies that are reshaping finance, government, defense, and technology itself. But I think what makes Joe different isn't just what he's built. It's really how he thinks. He thinks long term. He uses first principles, and he's relentlessly focused on real world impact. If you want insight in how the most powerful platforms of the next decade are being created today, this episode will expand how you see the opportunities ahead. Let's meet Joe Lonsdale. It's a bigger crowd than it really is. It is a big crowd. We're very proud of that, and we're glad that you're here. Thank you for making the time. Thank you. I'm gonna put up on the screen just so that everybody has a little bit of history. Oh, gosh. I'm not gonna read you all of this. Sorry about this. K. No. That's you should be very proud of it. But it would take way too long to introduce him. But as a cofounder of Palantir, obviously, a lot of you know that company as being …
