if you indirectly improve people's nutrition that they don't need as much health care. So in some indirect ways, the Republicans can negotiate the pharma prices down, which he did. There could be higher employment if Trump's economy results in more people being hired than they buy their own health care in many cases. So there's a whole bunch of things they can do that would sort of be in that dir…
← Previous segment →an insightful comment? I literally talk about every element of Trump top to bottom every day for 10 years. You don't think I've looked into it? You don't think I did a little analysis that maybe I could answer some questions on this topic? You don't think maybe I know more than you do? Some of the critics are so funny. They're so bad at even being critics.
Anyway, my guess is that Trump is going to have fun with Mamdani by being somewhat professional but somewhat insulting. And I cannot wait for the insulting part. Are you waiting for that too? There might be a picture opportunity. I definitely want to see the handshake. If there's a handshake, I definitely want to see that. And then I want to see what Trump says about Mamdani while the press is listening to him and Mamdani is standing right next to him. I mean, I just can't wait for that because he's not going to hold back. He's going to do something you've never seen before. He's just going to dump all over him and Mamdani will just have to stand there because it's the White House and he can't really walk out.
Well, Scott Bessent, Secretary of the Treasury, he held up, I think it was on Fox News, and he held up the first US-made rare earth magnet in 25 years. So apparently the United States already now has a rare earth magnet manufacturer. The question I have is, was that already being built or did we go from we have no idea how to make a rare earth magnet to here's a magnet? Did American ingenuity, which we worry is on the wane, did we just figure this out? I'm very curious. Is this really the success story it looks like? And is it something that's repeatable?
Because I'll tell you, I've had a curiosity about the whole rare earth domain. And the curiosity is this. If the government said, "We're really going to support you if you make any kind of rare earth stuff because we need it desperately. We're going to get rid of all the government red tape. We're going to give you loans. We're going to make sure you can find the markets. There'll be plenty of markets. Don't worry about markets." If you created that situation, how long would it take before the normal free market just flooded the zone with products? Because it's what we do best historically.
What I don't know is if we still have that gene, that intuition, that just sort of magical ability that's transported us to this point in history so far. I don't know. But there's some possibility that it would look more like World War II when the US entered the war. If you ever, I'm sure most of you have watched the History Channel and history shows about how the US was sort of good at manufacturing things, but when World War II hit and the winner would be who could make the most stuff, I mean I'm simplifying, but if we could make more stuff, as in tanks and artillery shells, we probably would win. So we just went crazy making more stuff and made an unbelievable amount of stuff, airplanes and tanks and shells.
So how many of the experts in World War II would have known that the free market plus the government being supportive could have created that much production? Do you think that was known at the time or is it like today where there's just something about the situation where you can't wrap your brain around how effectively we could tackle it? Because I do wonder if we can just jump in there and just shock everybody with how well we do and how quickly we develop an industry. I don't know. I'm going to say that maybe we can. Maybe we can.
Jasmine Crockett, I told you I was going to talk about her. So now it looks like she's auditioning to become one of the designated liars for the Democrats. And she says she was just on some interview saying that Trump and Bannon's hate is why there are random black bodies being strung up in the South. So Jasmine Crockett believes that there are random black bodies being strung up in like today, modern day. I hope not. I'm not aware of any.
So her point was that Trump is creating a dangerous situation. So dangerous that that's why black bodies are being strung up in the South. Well, first of all, as far as I know, there are no black bodies being strung up in the South presently. We hope that will be the future as well. But don't you think that she's creating some danger here by suggesting that we have this Hitler-like character in charge of the country and half the country is supporting him? Don't you think that creates a little danger? So yeah, she's a funny one.
All right, here we go. I promised you something that would reframe your brain, and here it comes. You're going to like this unless I've totally oversold it. All right, I'm going to sort of lean into it and then w

e'll get on it. So I guess something happened recently with the Soros organization, the Open Society, and Alex Soros was just saying something defiant on the X platform. And what Alex, the son of George Soros, said was, he basically said that the Soros organization wasn't going anywhere. The most important thing that I didn't write down. All right. Seriously. Oh yeah. His exact words. Alex Soros,…
