There are a lot of really good candidates that the president's talking with and about.
But I think that everybody I know that's a candidate 100% understands the importance of independence.
And, yeah, I think that it is important and that that commitment will be made, whoever the president chooses, over and over again during Senate confirmation.
Is China holding back rare earth magnets from companies tied to the U.S.

Last CPI report we got surprised 48 Bloomberg economists on the downside and even had some sort of temporary bad news because there was a refinery that was shut down.
If you're looking at the top line number, I think that there have been mixed signals in the job market and really, really positive signals in the output markets.
But as you know, we've got GDP now running close to 4%.
We've got productivity running up around 3%.
And so I think that there could be a little bit of almost
quiet time in the labor market because firms are finding that AI is making their workers so productive that they don't necessarily have to hire the new kids out of college and so on.
Well, first, this is nothing new.
If you go through all of the trade deals that we've been doing all the way through, then there have been things that we decided it was prudent based on the economics of supply and demand to exempt.

so that we weren't going through each deal and picking this and that.
A more precise way to say it, though, Joe, is that purchasing power has gone up.
