let's see how it goes. Like, I think that's fine to just take it day by day. I don't know why we have to go to, you know, DEFCON one, as you were saying before. I don't, I agree. It's like, let's just take a chill pill while we can still afford them.

Well, he was right. In Silicon Valley, around in 2015, 2016, that was the one thing at that time that you were allowed to talk about. Because you remember, like, Peter was run out of town. You could not talk about Trump at that time. But you could talk about China. Everybody was already keyed into China. And that was one where it was this thing that you would hear, you know,

I don't agree with him on everything, but China, which was very interesting at that time. That's true. He was super, super early to it. And I was just thinking while we were watching that clip, you're right, that was just before the China stuff happened. China just retaliated, or they said they were going to retaliate.

So I saw a bunch of things, but the one that stood out the most was they're going after rare earth metals, or they're saying they're going to. What's interesting about that is that is a strategy they've been on for decades. So they're subsidizing their mining facilities and, more importantly, their processing facilities, while we have been regulating our processing facilities.

Our EPA makes it almost impossible to process things over here. People think that rare earth metals means they're super rare, They're all over. We have them in Texas, in California, in Alaska. We just found a huge store of them in Maine. We can't process them. And this trade stuff actually like if all ignore all the other tariffs, there's one thing with China.

Yes, you have to. That's how it works. That's why when we talk about TikTok and we're like, this is a Chinese company, you're run by the CCP. That's how it works when you are doing business in a communist country. And it just, you know what it reminds me? Like there can...
