This is since World War II there's been nothing like what we're doing today.
Donald TrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The workers of Baltimore and the shipyard here at Sparrows Point have been a vital part of the American industrial strength for literally over 100 years.
Donald TrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That along these very shores, American tradesmen built one of the first frigates in the US Navy.
Donald TrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They forged the steel that built the Empire State Building and the Golden Gate Bridge, and this is where the patriots of Baltimore built the first ever liberty ship in the Second World War.

1 HR 33 MINS LATER
Tyshawn WadeHOST
It's a big deal.
Tyshawn WadeHOST
I wanted to get to that.
Tyshawn WadeHOST
And then the other one we have is Sparrows Point.
Tyshawn WadeHOST
Now, Sparrows Point is a brand-new shipyard, a, a, that Anduril is investing three point seven billion in, with, I believe, another, yeah, another two point nine billion from the Navy to get this up, up and running.
Tyshawn WadeHOST
I wanted to get to that.
Tyshawn WadeHOST
And then the other one we have is Sparrows Point.
Tyshawn WadeHOST
Now, Sparrows Point is a brand-new shipyard a, a, that Anduril is investing $3.7 billion in with, I believe, another, yeah, another $2.9 billion from the Navy to get this up, up and running, right? W- And the, uh, I believe not necessarily a contract yet, but a, an agreement for potentially $21 billion in future purchases from, uh, ships made at this shipyard from the Navy.
Tyshawn WadeHOST
So all in all, it's about a $6.5 billion project.
Tyshawn WadeHOST
But Anduril's building this, uh, ship, this brand-new shipyard at Sparrows Point, Baltimore, and they're naming it Arsenal 2.
Tyshawn WadeHOST
Now, we just talked about the other shipyard being built in, uh, Brownsville, Texas, right? Now, if...
Tyshawn WadeHOST
Let me think.
Tyshawn WadeHOST
Uh, let me come back up.
GregHOST
So I'm excited to learn more.
SergioHOST
Well, so Trump was in Sparrows Point, Dundalk area of Baltimore County.
SergioHOST
This is an, uh, an area of Maryland ma- that made international news for some of our international listeners and people that are outside of the Maryland area.
SergioHOST
But, uh, it was the story where a cargo ship collided with a support beam of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, and it made the bridge collapse, killing six workers.
speaker_12SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
... $10.9 billion to purchase production components, torpedo tubes, and bow sections for the Virginia class nuclear-powered attack submarines.
speaker_12SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
President Trump says the move will create new jobs and American taxpayers will receive a 40% stake in the new shipyard.
Donald TrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Right here in Sparrows Point, you'll build the next generation of American submarines, including autonomous subs, torpedo tubes, and critical components.
Donald TrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This massive project will create over 3,100 new jobs right here in Maryland and will support an additional 11,000 jobs across the nation.
Chris KavasHOST
Interestingly, the Anduril facilities are focused only on Virginia-class attack submarine construction rather than also producing elements of the Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine as in several other distributed manufacturing facilities.
Chris KavasHOST
The Arsenal 2 facility will be built on land previously occupied by Bethlehem Steel's Sparrows Point Shipyard, once the world's largest steel production plant and now known as TradePoint Atlantic.
Chris KavasHOST
The steel facility thrived for much of the 20th century but gradually closed down production in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Chris KavasHOST
And that's a look at just some of the past week's naval news.
27 MINS LATER
Bryan ClarkGUEST
'Cause I think, uh, Andril's aspiration is to eventually build full up modules, um, for the submarine at that plant, and then, you know, ship those modules off to either one of the primes for installation into the submarine.
Bryan ClarkGUEST
So I'm thinking it must be modules that ... or the Virginia payload tubes that are unique to the Virginia class.
Chris KavasHOST
Before we leave this, I just wanna, wanna note that this facility is at, is at Sparrows Point, Baltimore, which is not ...
Chris KavasHOST
It's Baltimore County, but it's not Baltimore City.

Sean CaseyHOST
First, he starts off with the whole Arsenal 2, uh, contract down at Sparrows Point, where he was indeed invited as a guest, but he wanted to speak.
Sean CaseyHOST
President Trump said, "Nope, not gonna let you speak.
Sean CaseyHOST
This is a, uh, this is a big federal thing that he's doing with the Secretary of War and the DOD." So he should've been there just as a guest.
