and the next job is to thank john podesta for his terrific remarks. thank you john. [background noises] >> thin >> thank uyyou guys so much. thanks everyone for being herement i'm lisa friedman. a reporter on the climate team of the new york times and i am very grateful to have two stellar panels beginning with this one that will really drill down into a lot of the things that david and john just covered. first let me introduce our panel. all the way on my far right. sanje from here at the brookings institute. and the senior fellow in economic studies at brookings. he also is a fellow for the initiative of sustainable energy policy at john hopkins university. adid tomer in the center is a senior fellow at brookings metro and is an expert in infrastructure policy and urban economics. with a particular focus on transportation and digital technology issues. the team works to better understand how infrastructure policies from the federally the local level impact economic development, social prosperities. and directly to my left, glen is a senior, pardon me, a non- reside

second was the protection aspect of it and i think john podesta touched on those. those protection aspect were aimed at our friends and allies in europe or asia. they were aimed at china as a look at my friend. there's an understanding china is an important leader in the green energy technology. everything from solar panels to batteries to electric vehicles, and i get asked this question more than any other are we trading dependence on the middle east regime's for the china or just one thing looking for another and the answer is no for a lot of reasons but that's why use all these protectionist instincts. in addition to the desire to create these jobs here in the united states it's part of the administration's general policy to grow the economy from the middle-class outward so both of those were challenging and upsetting to our allies. but for a lot of political reasons, that is the way that it was going to go down and i spent a lot of time over the past year explaining that. how we got here, why it is the way it is and hopefully we can find room in the middle to r

trade representative john feiner, john podesta, and newberger and others and we will cover the gamutlenges that face us here in the united states and beyond and look further out and see how we can solve these problems and rightly filled a better future. i want to thank the whole team and our small but mighty team, all of the folks behind the scene, it would not be possible without them wouldn't be possible without wonderful sponsors, google, mastercard, microsoft, the rockefeller foundation and so many others. it's my pleasure to welcome on stage michelle, courtney to kick us off with one of the most important topics, how to get our armed forces of technology and innovation we need, thank you all for being here. [applause] >> thank you all for being here, i am thrilled to see so many people here today. until dan's opening remarks it hadn't occurred to me the date today, the anniversary of pearl harbor and it is so appropriate we are beginning the forum today on anniversary with a session about future challenges and the need for u.s. military and government to transform challenges esp

john podesta said it earlier. it's the largest claimant bill we've seen in the united states. it's the largest investment in energy and transition that the world has ever seen. and i think it was frankly,kind of intimidating. we are the largest economy. they don't have the ability to do it the way that we do. when we look at europe, they don't have the ability to do with the way we do. the european union isn't a taxing authority. it can't use its tax code to provide benefits to investments. so it has to be done at the individual country level and the individuals have different abilities to do with that. europeans looked at it and they were frustrated with the way that it went down. there are a lot of conversations about why it went the way it did. the second source was the protection aspect of it and i think john touched on those as well. those protection aspect were aimed at our friends and allies in europe or asia. they were aimed at china as a look at my friend. there's an understanding china is an important leader in the green energy technology. everything from solar panel

he is it language that israel used if you are a hamas you are a dead man walking podesta how we talkededa and its understandable but it's not realistic. however israeli insistence on making sure hamas leadership is taken off the battlefield one where another and the hamas infrastructureon is weakened in this is the key point that gives to collective punishment the palestinian w people realize tht there is no self-interest in having a group like hamas in power in charge of their government because that group will inflict damage on israel and that leads to inevitableta retaliation or the palestinian people to become the t primary victims and the target. israel hopes that logic would then prevent a group like hamas from being popular and come to power again. i don't know if israel will be successful in that argument you put in the meantime a lot of people die. i would not define this myself as that. >> michael o'hanlon from the "wall street journal" palestinian factions talked post-war gaza. what are the factions and which one could lead quick >> is a great question but i saw that article

we could not have been more honored to have john podesta open this event and share. he is the founder for the center for american progress. and currently serves as senior adviser to president biden for clean energy. to oversee the implementation of the ira and chairs the president's national climate task force. he is a devoted public servant who lent his expertise to previous administrations including the obama administration. as white house chief of staff under the clinton administration. so john, thank you for your continued service and dedication to the nation. we are truly honored you found time in your busy schedule to be with us today. the agenda for the remainder of the day, or the half day is we will hear first from john, and his remarks will be followed by a fire side chat with david who is one of our climate experts and a non-resident senior fellow. afterwards, john will depart to attend to the business of the nation and we will begin the panel discussions. so the first panel will focus on the ira for the u.s. economy. clean energy. and we will take a ten m

the pizza gate that claims that democrats were running a child sex trafficking ring because john podestawho is the clinton campaign chairman's hacked emails had the word pizza and hot dog in them and they claim that this was code for child sex trafficking of some time. but even the author said these were debunked but the code wasn't. and then there is this part about john roberts, where he basically shared a hoax that he's connected to jeffrey epstein and said that he could be being blackmailed over it. so those are just a few things that were endorsed by the person who is second in line for the presidency. >> second in line for the presidency. and as you say, it wasn't jut a blurb on the back saying any friend wrote this book. it was the introduction to the book. it was interviews afterward and a lot of detail. >> on social media he told people to buy it as well. >> so he really promoted it. what did he have to say about all of this and about the introduction that he wrote when you reached out to him and said you have all of this? >> when we reached out, we didn't hear back before we pu

john podesta, who was managing her campaign, corresponded with a political consultant. who helped buildmake an enemy out of russia, in order to thus undermine trump’s position, and suddenly trump won the election, then it will be possible to blame everything on russia, that this russia interfered in the american elections made trump president, even if we don’t take into account all these hypocritical ones now. that's just it a clear manifestation of what is happening in the usa, the organization in which i used to work, the cia, is also involved in such matters, you can ask ordinary people, in iran, in guatemala, in honduras, in italy, in greece, about how the usa constantly interfere in elections in other countries, but here. you can blame everything on russia , you can explain everything by russian intervention, if a person is an alcoholic or a drug addict, very often instead of saying, yes, it’s all my fault, they begin to blame everything on others, they say: it’s because you i became a drug addict, because of you i became an alcoholic, so the usa now behaves exactly the same way, t

john podesta believes this will spark manufacturing. >> it is why we are working with japan and southea to secure the supplies of critical minerals and reduce reliance on china. with this clarity that it will provide, insuring us electric vehicle future will be made in america. >> reporter: proposed rules require physical tracking of the batteries and materials at the expense of auto manufacturers. they don't want to be force-fed evs. >> they want 67% of all cars by 2032 to bevs. what about the charging station. infrastructure clearly not there. rules by fiat, this is unrealistic and you cannot implement them. >> these rules cover 2024 but they won't be finalized until the end of 2,024. there's confusion if you purchase a car in the first part of 2024 will it be covered or not. don't you think it looks like the chevy? neil: look like nothing i have ever seen. looks like it was manufactured in a lab and married in a junkyard with whatever they have available. elon musk is a genius but on this particular vehicle -- in 30 years. >> you are actually probably right about that. great seeing

in addition, she meets john podesta, john podesto in his time, he just becomes the person who connectsategy for himself... of this golden real billion, to destroy the population, when you said, he mixed in flour, bone meal, of course , so that people could simply be exterminated, with oncology such pills were given, these same people, they came to ukraine with the same pharmaceuticals, adrian coman is a person who is supposedly involved in international relations, no, he is not just involved in international relations, he cooks the ground where they should come, the arcus fund, it is not the largest fund in the world, it is large, well-standing... but by and large, without padest, without people like the soros funds, it is quite small. the task of soros in the nineties was very simple: to collect maximum information about the weaknesses of people, where it would be possible to go when the soros corporation entered ukraine and russia in the nineties, including lgbt education, sex education, and most importantly, a person becomes superfluous to a person no need to start a family, man mus

of bill clinton's, almost all of bill clinton's former white house chief's, erskine bowles, john podesta, leon panetta was on the phone, so was bill daley. anyway. the point of this, the reason it was secret is because obama didn't want to be accused of measuring the drapes in the oval office before he was elected. but he knew howor important waso figureus out who his white house chief would be, unlike some other presidents. ..go the call was up from chicago. david axelrod, bill daley at all the rest. he did not take that advice needless to say he appointed rob emmanuel who was i think a good choice at the time for the first part of the obama presidency. but my point here is once again that presidents often learn the hard way that you have to empower a white house chief. under obama understood this from thebe beginning. that was one of the reasons i think, including his good choices of chiefs of staff over the eight year. i think one of the reasons for his fixed success. >> peter everyone spent welcome back i'd like to say we missed you since this morning. [laughter] secretary lou spoke
