I'm Terrence Bates in for 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:48.000 Steve Gruber. It is Friday, August seventh, twenty twenty six. 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:49.360 Let's get right. 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:52.239 To today's top stories and as always, thanks so much for 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.520 being here with us on Real America's Voice. Doctor Anthony 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.480 Fauci's contempt of Congress case is now in the hands 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:01.800 of federal prosecutors after a Senate committee voted to refer 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:05.440 him for charges following his contemptuous one hundred and eleven 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:09.200 times of pleading the fifth Many Americans are now wondering 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:13.920 what's next. And if Fauci will actually face accountability. Plus 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:19.600 how did American energy industry look under socialism? Ahead, we'll 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:23.080 break down what government control could mean for electricity prices 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:28.280 and American energy independence. And then later AI has evolved 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:31.880 so quickly that Sam Altman, the CEO of open AI, 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:36.119 which developed the new, the heavily used chat GPT model, 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:41.440 indicated that a technological singularity is more than likely already 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.440 upon us. Those stories in so much more coming your 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.720 way shortly. Plus, we'll take you to a roundtable with 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:51.680 President Trump at the State Department regarding American mining that 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.400 is set to get under way momentarily. In fact, our 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:58.480 newest Real America's Voice White House correspondent Taylor Mitchell is 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:00.800 already on the ground at the State Department and has 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:01.640 a quick preview. 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:05.120 Good afternoon, Terrence. I am here at the US Department 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.800 as State. We're in just a few moments. President Donald 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:12.440 Trump is expected to participate in a round table discussion 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:17.040 talking all about the American mining industries. And we probably 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.040 can also expect to see a lot of leaders from 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:24.520 mining companies attending and helping leading those discussions. But we 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.640 do know that this would definitely help us to be 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:32.280 able to create our own technology like phones, electric cars, computers, 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.440 and even our own military equipment. So this is a 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.359 very important discussion we're having today so we can make 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.040 sure that we are getting supplies from our own countries 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.680 so we don't have to rely on other countries like China, 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.840 which we mostly rely on China for supplies like this. 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.119 We also know he will probably be talking about more 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:54.359 job opportunities as well, and even about more schooling dedicated 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:57.160 to mining. So my question to Donald Trump would be, 0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.720 you know, what does the timeline look like for this? 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:04.720 When can we stop relying on China for these supplies? Also, 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.400 how are you going to get students excited about the 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.360 mining business and field. So this is just a couple 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.200 of things I'm hoping that we will get answered today, 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.400 but we are going to obviously bring you the live 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.560 feed right here on Real America's Voice. 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.840 All right, Taylor, thanks so much. Taylor Mitchell reporting there 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.280 from the State Department. Again the moment the President and 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.760 Rise will take you there live and let you hear 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:31.880 his remarks. In the meantime, President Trump signed two executive 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:36.400 orders targeting birthright citizenship and birthright tourism on Thursday, all 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.840 of this comes in response to a late June Supreme 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:42.160 Court ruling that struck down his previous attempt to solve 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.520 the problem. Joining me now from the White House is 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:48.240 Real America's Voice, Congressional correspondent Neil McCabe with the very 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.360 latest Neil, good to see you now that we've had 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.320 kind of twenty four hours to let all of this 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.600 sink in your thoughts on the president's move and the 0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:00.000 fact that he's basically trying to circumvent what the Supreme 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:01.920 Court said in order to do the right thing. 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.920 Yeah, a lot of people were shocked that Chief Justice 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:11.320 John Roberts, in the middle of orror arguments, basically made 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:15.840 some record rhetorical questions to John Sower, the Solicitor General. 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:20.560 Roberts point was in those questions was, Hey, even though 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:25.920 this will be detrimental to the United States political system 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:29.600 in its economy, you know, don't you see that we 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.960 have to follow the constitution whatever we see the Constitution 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:33.279 to be. 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:34.640 Sower had no. 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:36.880 Choice but to tell the Chief Justice, of course, we 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:41.200 have to follow the Constitution regardless of the consequences, and 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.440 so Roberts was basically saying, Hey, I'm just going to 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:47.360 roll a grenade into the room, and whatever happens happens. Remember, 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:51.360 the fact is that there are nearly one point five 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:56.840 million American citizens quote unquote living in China who can 0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:00.440 vote in our elections and take advantage of everything American 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.359 can offer. But they are ethnic Chinese. They were just 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.719 born here and then sent back to China, and so 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:10.000 it's a very dangerous situation when you consider what they 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:13.280 could do to just an election in say Texas, or 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:14.920 an election in Kansas, Terrence. 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.480 And a critical part of the president's eos here is 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.679 that he's going to limit visas for pregnant women trying 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.480 to come to the United States. Obviously, the idea is 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.920 they're only coming here in order to stay long enough 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.880 to have their baby, so their child could have citizenship. 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.400 If they're not allowed to come, well, that negates a 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:33.240 huge part of the. 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:38.280 Issue, right, But there's a lot of people making. 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:43.520 Hunting All right, folks, it sounds like we're having some 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.040 problems and technical problems there with Neil's microphone. We want 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:50.240 to apologize for that. We will try to get back 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.600 to Neil here in short order so we can talk 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:56.359 a bit more about the President's birthright Citizenship eos. In 0:05:56.400 --> 0:06:00.440 the meantime, America's Voice Live, proudly sponsored by our friends 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:02.359 over at the Birch Gold Group. 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:03.920 You definitely don't wait. 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.080 Until your house is on fire in order to install 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.719 a smoke detector. You also don't wait until the wind 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.560 and rain hammer your windows and the power goes out 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.120 in order to prepare for a hurricane. And you don't 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.080 reach for your seat belt after the impact because after 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.320 the crash, the hurricane or the house fire. 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:20.240 It's too late. 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.279 Right. Similarly, you don't want to wait until the dollar 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.800 goes to zero before you buy gold. It's too late then. 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.760 So you may want to diversify now with precious metals 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.600 because you never know what's going to threaten your savings next. 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:38.240 Persistent inflation, a weakening dollar, unexpected financial disruptions, all of 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.040 those can be major issues. You don't know what's coming, 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.680 so you can take a preventative step. Now, do that, 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.880 as we speak, by requesting a free information kit on 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:49.920 gold from the folks over at the Birch Gold Group. 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.040 Simply text the word America to the number ninety eight 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.440 ninety eight ninety eight. There's no cost and there's no obligation. 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:59.920 Just straightforward information on how you can diversify your sea 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:03.920 even using an IRA or four to one k and 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.080 investing in gold. We trust the folks over at the 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.760 Birch Gold Group to do all of this. So simply 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.600 text the word America to the number ninety eight, ninety eight, 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.360 ninety eight. Right now, all right, we think we fixed 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.400 everything with Neil mckaye. So let's get back to the 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:20.080 White House. He's standing by there, Neil. We were talking 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:23.080 about birthright citizenship, and I was making the point that 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.720 President Trump has really been proactive with these executive orders, 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.360 because what he said is we're not going to give 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.640 visas basically to women who are pregnant coming to the 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.120 United States who are likely going to try to give 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.520 birth here and have a US citizen. This is a 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.320 very proactive step, not even letting them in. It really 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.320 takes that card off the table, if you will. 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:48.200 Absolutely, there's no reason to pass new legislation, Terrence. 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.080 It's already against the law. 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.120 It's just no one ever enforced it. Now the President 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:57.000 is enforcing the law, which is his constitutional duty, and 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.200 hopefully we'll get some progress on it. 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.200 Sir, Enforcement, though, I think is what is going to 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.520 be interesting because my suspicion is, and this is just 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.040 based on human nature, Neil, there are going to be 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.280 some women from these other countries who are seven months pregnant. 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:13.720 They're gonna be assle on their visa application. 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:14.440 Are you pregnant? 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.600 They're going to say no, They're going to try to 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:20.360 conceal their pregnancy somehow and then show up at show 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:23.080 up at immigration, and it's going to be interesting what 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:25.640 happens there next. Will they in fact be turned away 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.480 or not? For me, that's the most interesting part of this. 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:32.640 How this is ultimately going to be enforced. 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:36.600 I think you're right, and I think once we have 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:41.640 some high profile situations where people are sent home or blocked, 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:45.360 maybe people will get the message. Obviously, the President is 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:49.880 going up against a tsunami of established practice and he's 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.000 just fighting for the American people this time. 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.600 Absolutely. Neil McKay reporting outside the White House. Always good 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:57.719 to see you, Neil, We appreciate it. I want to 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.240 take you over to the State Department now as as 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.960 President Trump getting ready to participate in a round table there. 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.920 As you can see, he is arriving, So let's just 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.640 listen in as the President prepares to take a seat. 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.559 That's a very nice song. I love that song because 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:42.440 that means you won. Basically, we wouldn't hear that song 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:46.520 very much. But I want to thank everybody. Special people, 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:51.280 people that built our country are here and you really 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:55.720 haven't just looking at my notes, and I could do 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.680 this when without any notes, because there's a. 0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:59.000 Great love for what you do. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.400 And I think you haven't been treated well for many years, 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.960 but you make it up for it now, really making 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.640 up for it now. So it's an honor and I'm 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.439 delighted to be here at the Department of State to 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:15.600 announce some of the largest ever investments in American mining. 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:19.199 A great thing mining. 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:23.680 Is we're putting our miners back to work and we're 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:28.480 reclaiming America's rightful place as the minerals superpower of the world, 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.600 which is what we are. People just didn't know that 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:33.520 for a while. I want to thank our great Secretary 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:37.120 of State, Marco Rubio, for hosting us. It's beautiful building 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:40.080 where you know, I look at The President's allowed to 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:45.720 remove things from any building, and I'm liking the chandeliers. 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:49.679 I really I like those Corinthian columns, but cutting them 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:54.120 out would be not good. Those are beautiful columns. But 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:56.440 I'm allowed to do it every once in a while. 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:58.520 I'm coming here and grab a painting and put it 0:10:58.520 --> 0:10:59.800 at the Oval office. 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:03.960 Right, but not too much. But I want to thank Marco. 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.760 I want to thank Secretary of Interior Doug Bergen, was 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:11.440 done a fantastic job. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick likewise, 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:15.280 and as well as Executive Director of the National Energy 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.400 Dominance Council, Jared Egan. 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:22.360 Thank you, Jared, and thank you all. I love that the. 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.280 Dominance councilor I've never heard that one before. That's a 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.160 hell of a name. Where's Jarreted? Where's Jared? 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.200 Hi? Jared? I like that. Did you make up that? 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.160 Did you come up with it? That's all you, sir. 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:38.080 You came up with that. I think it's pretty good. 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.000 Thanks as well to the leaders of many of America's 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.920 great mining companies who are here and educational institutions that 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:48.199 are also joining us today. Now, two hundred and fifty 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:52.120 years ago, America won our political independence in the Revolutionary War. 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:56.600 On my first term, we secured our energy independence, and 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.800 now in my second term, we're achieving our economic and 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:04.400 deans ensuring that America is never again reliant on hostile 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:08.800 foreign nations for the resources our country needs to dominate 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:12.360 in the future, and we have plenty of those resources. 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:16.400 Critical minerals are the raw materials of American strength that 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:20.960 power everything from advanced weaponry to automobiles. And we want 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:25.000 these essential products to be mined, refined, and made right 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:29.959 here in the USA with the American skill and American hands. 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.680 We have better skill, We have better hands than anybody 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:33.200 in the world. 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:38.440 For decades, politicians let other countries steal our minds and 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:43.559 mining jobs. It close up minds that buy a mine 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.400 and close it because it was good for them, and 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.720 put American producers out of business. The United States lost 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.240 more than three thousand, four hundred minds of Can you 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.280 imagine three thousand, four hundred I think. 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.040 They're going to say miners or jobs. 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:04.199 It's minds four hundred mines over the past three decades, 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:07.000 that's said. But now they're coming back, and they're coming 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:10.240 back faster. Many of those mines are being reopened and 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:12.800 a lot of new mines are being built. Over the 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:16.000 past eighteen months, our administration is signed or approved more 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:19.960 than one hundred and sixty minerals deals worth nearly forty 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:23.520 billion dollars, and today the United States is opening up 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:27.080 new minds at the fastest pace since the nineteen fifties. 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:30.040 Has never nobody's seen anything like it, and that goes 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.920 for auto plants too, and AI and so many other 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:34.280 kinds of plants. 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:37.520 We have nine think of this, we have in. 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:40.040 A short period of time, a year and a half, 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.560 and it's the numbers are for the first twelve months, actually, 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.640 but figure a year and a half. We have nineteen 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:51.520 point two trillion dollars being invested. The previous administration had 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.760 much less than one trillion in four years. 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.960 We have nineteen point two in actually twelve months. 0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:59.760 But will add something to it, so it's now going 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:03.480 to be over twenty trillion dollars. And by the way, 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:06.240 no country ever in history's done anywhere near that number. 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:11.520 We're five to six times higher than certain of our competitors, 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:15.760 from very successful competitors, but we're much higher. Nobody's seen 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:19.000 what's happening today in our country. Nobody has seen anything 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.160 like it, and hopefully you'll see it again, but only 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:22.720 for us. 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:24.560 I think it's going to be hard to match. 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:28.280 However, today the United States is opening new minds at 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.200 the fastest base, and we opened the first American rare 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:33.920 earth mind in more than seventy years. 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:35.200 What's that all about, Marca. 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:39.320 We've announced the construction of the first new aluminum smelter 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:41.320 since nineteen eighty. 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:42.440 It's going to be a big one. 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:46.880 I mean if it's the same one building a massive, beautiful, 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:51.240 job producing smelter in Oklahoma. 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:53.160 I love Oklahoma. 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:56.560 Because they have seventy seven counties that won all seventy seven. 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:00.400 Times. 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.560 Right, you know he's looking at he right, nobody's you 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:07.520 know who second is? Ronald Reagan fifty six. That's pretty good, right, 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:12.480 I like Oklahoma. We authorized deep sea mining to unlock 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:17.120 vests untapped resources off our cause. And we're rebuilding the 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:21.200 national defense stockpile and investing more than twelve a billion 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:23.600 dollars in a brand new strategic mineral reserve. 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.200 And we're protecting American. 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:30.240 Workers with historic tariffs on foreign copper, aluminum, steel, so 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:33.440 that our people are protected. And the tariffs are what 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:37.080 made this so successful, the proper use of tariffs, but 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.200 they're really what made this so success. 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.400 So you've probably heard me during my campaign. I used 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:45.440 to say the word tariff is my favorite word, and 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.600 the fakeness see them back there, they're roll back there, and. 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:52.720 They'd say, what a terrible thing to say. What about God, wife, 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.720 country love? I said so, so I made it my 0:15:56.760 --> 0:16:00.400 fifth favorite where now I have no problem. Hit me 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:03.400 hard when I said tariff was my all time favorite word. 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:07.040 It didn't play well. But it's a solid number five, 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:12.400 and now I'm okay. But American miners have never had 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:16.040 a greater champion in the White House than President Donald Trump. 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:20.360 And before I took off his federal mining permits took three, 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:23.640 four or even five years. Now they take as little 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:26.680 as twenty five days. So we went from five years 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:30.240 for approvals to get them, and nobody was doing it anyway. 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.000 Took too long and just wasn't working. 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:35.760 So now we go from five years to twenty five 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.960 days for approval. Under the Great, Big, Beautiful Bill, we 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:43.080 secured and unprecedented one hundred billion dollars to underwrite critical 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:47.320 investments in our mineral supply, and for the first time ever, 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:51.280 we are even making direct equity investments in critical miner 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:55.640 mineral production. Last July, the Department of War took a 0:16:55.720 --> 0:17:00.400 four hundred million dollars stake in Empy Materials, which is 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.720 already worth nearly one point two billion dollars. 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:05.080 It's gone up greatly in value. 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.560 I did one of those two, but not quite in 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:08.400 the same business. 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:13.400 Intel. We had a. 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:16.680 Problem with Intel, and we settled the problem. They gave 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:19.760 us ten percent of the company that was worth twelve 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:23.359 billion dollars. And since we had the company, the you 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.640 saw you've probably been watching, the stock has gone up many, 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:27.480 many times, just. 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:30.879 About number one, and we made eighty two billion dollars. 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:31.959 Do I get credit for that? 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:32.159 No? 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.359 Did anybody say, great job? And by the way, it's 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.240 for the country. It's not for me, it's for the country. 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:40.440 I have to be very plain about that. But now 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.919 we've made about eighty hoards pretty close to eighty billion, 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:48.800 a profit of eighty billion dollars. By helping the company out. 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:51.080 We're doing it a lot. Actually we're doing it a lot. 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:54.560 Today we're taking another historic action toward the future of 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:58.520 American mining. For years, mining schools and colleges that are 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:01.560 essential to training the future leaders of this industry have 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:07.119 been absolutely and sadly disappearing. Accredited mining programs in the 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:10.400 United States now graduate less than one hundred and seventy 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:14.840 mining engineers each year, while China graduates more than three thousand. 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.879 And half of our current mining workforce is set to 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:22.080 retire within the next three years. Well, that's why my 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:27.000 administration is making an unprecedented financial commitment to our nation's 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:28.400 mining schools. 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:31.720 It's going to keep us nice and young and vibrant. 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:35.399 The schools came to us seeking ten million dollars per 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:38.320 year and funding. Instead, I'm thrilled to announce that we're 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:42.040 delivering one hundred million dollars to train the next generation 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:44.639 of American miners. And you have a lot of a 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:57.919 lot of you are in the will man and you know, 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:00.280 I'm not doing that because I'm a nice person. Doing 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.879 that because it's great for the country. It's great for 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:04.960 the country, and it also helps a lot of people. 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:07.840 And they want to mine, you know, I've seen it. 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:12.160 And we had a little campaign against somebody named Hillary Clinton, 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:15.880 and she wanted the miners of West Virginia to learn 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.240 how to make chips, little tiny chips with their big 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:21.879 straw ants. And they were not I won by fifty 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.680 five points. They were not thrilled. They didn't want to 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:26.960 be doing They wanted to be in the minds. That's 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:28.919 what they want to do. They don't want to do 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:34.080 anything else. I remember that it was so unbelievable. It 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:35.000 was very very. 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.800 Good for me. I'll tell you what she didn't get that. 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:40.359 We did very well with that kind of thinking. 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:44.159 But we're also making major grants to the Colorado School 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:47.280 of Mines, the South Dakota School of Mines, and the 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:51.640 Johns Hopkins RTX Partnership, and together those grants are worth 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:54.639 eighty one million dollars, going to train people, work with people, 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:56.000 and we're going. 0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:58.080 To put you right back on the front pages. That's 0:19:58.119 --> 0:19:58.800 what you have to be. 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.760 In addition, today my administration is announcing a series of 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:06.639 historic mining projects worth three billion dollars which will create 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:11.280 thousands of jobs and promote our economic stability and security. 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:16.240 The Department of War's Office of Strategic Capital is signing 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:19.800 a massive one point four billion dollar loan agreement with 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:25.320 seal and Nanotechnologies to build a next generation battery facility 0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:29.240 in Washington State using what we have right under our feet. 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:33.119 The Export Import Bank is working to provide more than 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:37.600 one billion dollars to finance the Ivano Electrics Santa Cruz 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:40.480 Copper project in Arizona, one of the biggest anywhere in 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:45.160 the world. The ExM Bank is launching the Alabama graph 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:48.400 Height Project, the twenty five million dollar investment, as well 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:54.920 as the Fort Katie Integrated Boron Facility in southern California. 0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:58.960 And it's going to be something we broke out. We 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:05.280 broke through thevironmental disasters. You had environmentals people. You look, 0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:08.119 I'm an environmental person, believe it or not, but you 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:10.160 had people that were just stopping it. They were using 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:13.840 the environment to stop all of these things. The Department 0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:16.960 of Wars investing four hundred million dollars who expand production 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:21.520 of scandium, one of the world's most valuable aerospace and 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:25.960 defense materials. In Australia, the Apartment of War is also 0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:30.000 investing one hundred and fifty million dollars with Nyron Magnetics 0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:37.320 and Mini Minnesota. Minnesota, Wow, what the hell happened to Minnesota? 0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:40.360 The governor's totally corrupt, but we won't talk about that now. 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:41.280 That's for another day. 0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:46.119 Corrupt and incompetent a bad combination to build rare earth magnets. 0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:48.840 Magnets, you got to go with magnets. That's a good one. 0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:53.520 Everybody should go for magnets really badly needed, and Global 0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:57.240 Advanced Medals will build a major new factory in southeastern 0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:02.120 Pennsylvania to support cutting edge defense and aerospace systems. Together, 0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:07.080 we're reawakening the spirit of the gold Rush, the prospectors 0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:10.000 and the great pioneers of this country, people who built 0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:11.960 the United States of America. 0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:14.359 And very simply, we're making mining great again. 0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:17.840 And the United States is doing better than it's ever done, 0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:20.760 maybe ever done. So I just want to thank you, 0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:23.399 and I'll now ask Secretary of Rubio to say a 0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:26.639 few words, and then we'll hear from some of the 0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:30.080 wonderful people we have up here. Secretary Bergham in disorder, 0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:34.240 Secretary Lutnik, Executive Director of the University of Arizona School 0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:39.720 of Mining and Engineering and Minerals, Craig Luxbacher, President of 0:22:39.800 --> 0:22:44.119
