National Defense and American Dynamism: Reaganism with David Ulevitch

On this episode of Reaganism, Roger sits down with David Ulevitch of Andreessen Horowitz to discuss the firm's American Dynamism practice and its focus on investing in technologies that strengthen U.S. national security and industrial capacity. Their conversation explored how venture capital can help rebuild the defense industrial base through startups in autonomy, drones, missiles, energy, space, and manufacturing, while also emphasizing the importance of engagement in Washington, procurement reform, and public storytelling to accelerate adoption. David argued that production capability is itself a form of deterrence, and both guests highlighted how recent conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have underscored the need for faster, cheaper, more scalable defense innovation.
