But not many people have the stomach or the kahunas to be able to see it through.

And we saw President Trump issue an executive order on April 24 to say, we have a right to these minerals.

I'm instructing my government agencies to fast track the permitting.

Because we need the critical minerals.

China dominates the supply chain now.

They're going to dominate this as well if we don't get busy.

And so I think that a lot of the moves that this administration are making are starting to work.

And the thing I see, Sean, is the political appointees

they're really top shelf people.

They are people that have come out of, they're either amazingly successful, or they're people that have come and put their careers on,

hold so they can come and help out.

There's one guy who's the critical mineral czar.

He just said, the administration needs me.

I'm going to stop what I'm doing for this major mining company and come and help the administration sort out critical minerals.

And he's at the top of his game.

And that's what I noticed with the political appointees that we're dealing with.

The same with Noah.

You know, the people we're dealing with have conviction and they are super talented.

And I think that that is going to create that momentum.

And, you know, we're confident that we'll be in production during the 47th administration.
