Today on the James Alteger Show. I don't know of anyone who's ever before announced in one shot blanket tariffs on everybody plus special tariffs on individual countries and on individual products. That's a level of complexity that's quite novel in the tariff world. And I think is quite frustrated that the Chinese do not have a domestic problem with fentanyl.
If you're selling fentanyl on the streets in Beijing, they arrest you and they generally execute you. The rare earths are being processed, and I don't think it makes the planet as a whole any better off. to have them processed in China than processed here. China has been buying up reserves and tying them up with contracts everywhere. Myanmar is a big supplier of rare earths to China.
This isn't your average business podcast and he's not your average host. This is the James Alteger Show. Well, you can't get more information about tariffs and the economy than what I just got and you're about to listen to. So Wilbur Ross, who was Secretary of Commerce under the first administration of Trump, just came on the podcast. I let me ask any question I want about tariffs, the economy, and so on.
