"It makes all the sense in the world, and we are talking about a fraction, but it is guaranteed revenue."

"Everything we know in a capitalist society is market driven, to an extent, except when we need it, for the defense of our country."

"We don't produce one ounce of the rare earth minerals that we consume tremendously in every product that we use and in most of our defense products."

"You are held up in every state right now, because there is no benefit or gain other than promise of jobs or taking the product out of their state."
