Rob, if you could pull up the picture I sent you.

These things that, you know, whether it's semiconductors, advanced chips, aerospace, rare earth mining, rare earth refining, less than 10% of those things are manufactured in the U.S.

So if that's not a matter of national security, I don't know what is.

And the primary goal, if not one of the many goals of the tariffs, is to get those things back to the U.S.

to be produced in the U.S.

because it's impossible to compete with a country that pays slave wages to produce items because obviously it's going to be cheaper to, you know,

have manufactured in different country and brought it over here.
