Well, folks, it is the Christmas break, but we would be remiss if we did not bring you some interesting information.

Here is our friend Cabot Phillips over from Morning Wire about the Manhattan Project 2.0 pursued by the Trump administration.

In this AI arms race with China, the United States will lose the arm race if... Oak Ridge, Tennessee, the site of uranium enrichment for the Manhattan Project.

And now, over 80 years later, it's the site of a new technological leap, one that will

shape the future of America's fight for dominance.

The enemy is China.

Their weapon, digital warfare.

To counter this threat, President Trump's energy secretary Chris Wright, and OpenAI co-founder

Greg Brockman, have gathered America's brightest scientific minds together to accelerate

scientific innovation using Oak Ridge's supercomputer, Frontier.

So with China's threat growing, I've been sent here for an exclusive

look at Frontier and to meet the people working to keep America from falling behind.

You've used this phrase, the new Manhattan Project. What does that mean and what are the stakes?

In the Manhattan Project, it was critical that we developed an atomic bomb before Nazi Germany did.

Think of the world today if they had led and had an atomic bomb before we did.

The world would be unrecognizable.

AI's been around for a long time, but it's hitting critical mass now.

In the next few years, AI is going to change our world, not just economically, but in science and also in national defense.

China is working aggressively at AI. If they got a meaningful lead on us in AI, it will be a different world in the future.

We have to lead and win the AI race, just like we did Manhattan Project. This is Manhattan Project 2.

The last four years, do you feel like we did a good enough job of keeping abreast of our competitors?

And what will the Trump administration do differently compared to the Biden administration?
