Key ideas from Mike Rowe

• Palmer Lucky sold Oculus to Facebook for $2.2 billion at age 22, was later fired for donating $9,000 to a Trump PAC, then founded Anduril, now worth billions
• The 1970s 'Last Supper' dinner forced defense industry consolidation from 50 companies to 5-7, creating 'too big to fail' problems that stifle innovation
• Lucky advocates renaming the Department of Defense back to 'Department of War' for honesty: 'Their job is to win wars and maintain a posture that will allow them to win wars'
• America lacks political will for major wars: 'I don't think America could work itself up enough to go fight the Nazis again' - Lucky
• U.S. should become 'the world's gun store' rather than world police, giving allies tools to defend themselves instead of sending American troops
• Climate engineering is technologically feasible: 'If you want the Earth to get warmer or colder, that's not hard. One country with a geoengineering program could just do it unilaterally'
• Energy costs determine manufacturing competitiveness: if U.S. achieves near-zero energy costs through nuclear power, other countries 'won't be able to compete with American automobiles'
• Population collapse threatens national security: South Korea's 0.67 birth rate means North Korea could have 16-20 times more military-age males within four generations
