This all has to go back to, obviously, the Chinese.

I think-

I would say having a sort of trying to counter the United States' interest to shore up where our key vulnerabilities are, which is, of course, in rare earths and critical minerals.

And now that the United States has sort of launched a full-scale assault, kind of a whole, not just of government, but a whole of society, right?

You've seen that with the public-private mergers and things like the Mountain Pass mine deal to try to fix that problem.

It's like game on.

And in some ways, you know, the kinetic part of World War III hasn't started.

I'm sure we could have a debate if it actually has, if it started years ago.

Ukraine, the Middle East, take your pick.

But this is sort of like a weird form of the kinetic aspect of World War III, where you're seeing it be about, you know, industrial policy, the ability to even build the missiles and the rockets that are going to be launched to advance, you know, whether it's AI or the tech space that they're also talking about a lot at the World Economic Forum.

which we've seen obviously become a critical part of warfare too.

So it's spooky.

It's an eerie feeling.

Maybe I finally understand how the legacy media feels in the White House briefing room when President Trump is in there.

Well, look, it's not a 100 days celebration if we can't have a little bit of a meltdown montage.

So I thought it was important to air that, which, by the way, happy 100 days.

It's awesome to be here.

But the two individuals speaking before are someone, Steve, that we have talked about well before these 100 days.

They're sort of the architects of a lot of this color revolution framework.

I would say the sort of academic counterpart to the Norm Eisens of the world.
