Episode Details

Steve Gruber sits down with John Tamny, author of Deficit Delusion and senior economic adviser, to discuss the rare earths supply issue and why China can’t fully block these critical materials from the U.S., short of extreme hoarding. They break down the economic implications, global supply chain risks, and why rare earths matter for everything from defense to technology. Tamny provides insight into how the U.S. can safeguard its access to these essential resources without panicking over China’s influence.
