This is John Batchel. Speaking with colleague Elizabeth Peek of the Fox News and of the Hill,

a columnist for both, about the headline that the president and his counselor, Scott Besson,

Secretary of the Treasury, are inviting private equity to come up with creative ideas to help raise the $150 billion, said to be an estimate of cost for the infrastructure

needs to be built in military bases, data centers, for the future of AI and national security.

They're talking about trading land for money or investment opportunities for equity firms

in the military encampments.

Many ideas are welcomed, and the presentation was sober, and what happens next is deal making.

Mentioning with Elizabeth as she was speaking, but the deal made in the Oval Office,

the president and the Prime Minister of Australia looking for a deal of rare earths.

Rare is not being rare that just not been developed adequately to offset the capital controls,

the rare earth controls that China is talking about. In any event, here's Liz to comment on

the deal-making at the Oval Office between private equity, $13 trillion worth of private equity is the number used,

and the U.S. military, a beginning. Much more of this tonight.

It's a big number for sure. It's quite possible. They don't have 13 trillion to put in these

investments, but they have a lot of money under management. There's no question about it. And by the way, they're looking for returns. So if these ventures offer them decent returns, they'll be looking at them with total enthusiasm. And obviously they're going to write these contracts, these deals. That's what Trump does, by the way. He said it the other day. He said, look, that's what I do. I do deals. He loves doing this kind of stuff. That's what he did with Australia yesterday. That's right. That's right. He loved it, even though sitting across from him, apparently, was an ambassador who said bad things about him. He wants to do this. Look, what I have to admire the president for right now,

he wants to fix what's broken.

And I just don't see many politicians trying to do that.
