the semi conductors that are used in automobiles these days have grown exponentially. and a lot of that has to do with the safety measures that have been enacted. a lot of these safety measures are going to be building blocks and stepping stones towards connected and driverless cars. as we get closer and closer to what's called level five of autonomous car's, we are going to need more and more chips. this is just a fact of life, which is why we really think we should have more chi manufacturing herep pedro:, you talked about electric vehicles. president biden himself has called for the sale of electric vehicles, at least 50% of sales of those by the year 2030. what do you think of the timetable? what does it mean for dealers? john: dealers are excited about selling electric vehicles, so we are embracing that wholeheartedly. if you look behind me and throughout this entire convention center in d.c., it's chock-full of electric vehicles. outside, your able to take a ride in and a number of different electric vehicles at our ride and drive. indoors on the lower level of t

he's the president and ceo of the washington area new -- new automobile association. host: i suspect part of the fun of the auto show is looking at the new product, but because you have public-policy days specifically inciting legislators, what is the importance of that? guest: we're very fortunate to be located here in our nations capital because a lot of the industry has to interact with the regulators, the policymakers, we are the beneficiary. especially during covid. driverless car's, connected cars, electric vehicles, they have all been developed and continued to be developed to bring it to market. they are showcased here in the nations capital so that the policymakers and regulators can review them and speak with product specialists. ask questions, learn about technology, and then our citizens or our attendees, i the beneficiary. they are seen the same product reviewed by people who decide whether or not that product can be sold in the united states of america. we are very happy to be able to do this. host: somebody who represents new car dealers, what you think

a loop to road for the automobile.time now we been working to get back to that kind of clarity in our plan but it's emblazoned in everybody's mind at the university this is the plan, the second century plan. in real life you see some of the axes in the parks that are already there. we been changing and evolving and trying to bring back all of the real features of the plan so this is james a stanford way it was called ÃÃrecently in the new culture. he wasn't a good guy sent out to james stanford way. that was converted to get all the parking off of it, get the cars out of it. this is one of the roads along the main quad, the automobiles were everywhere on the campus. now that has changed to be bike mall with hundreds of bike spaces integrated into the hedges for the main quad. ironically enough, when you look back at some of the old drawings you see that the imagined end of the university there were these ÃÃand our version of that we started we also started looking at it in more diagrammatically about how do we transiti

automobile now in america. 40363 dollars, 40000 dollars. well you making $15.00 an hour. maybe. how are you going to afford that? no, there would be smart to becoming back with more simplistic automobiles and more simplistic equipment because they've gone way too high tech. they used car market is trading at a premium to the new car market. and so that's very unusual in it. it shows the market failure, right? because there's no good price signals. and the, the answer gets back to money printing. so even if there was a return to a more simplistic automobile manufacture, you know, you still have the problem that the economy is a wash in all this fi out money. and there's no way to pull it out. they know they can't raise rates because of what we discussed earlier. structurally, the bond market won't tolerate it, so they can only go to the question. is gerald, are we heading into a hyper inflationary? why mar republic collapse, or will it be a deflationary 19 thirties, depression type collapse? i think it will be a combination in the sense that there will be, as i said, address flac

the reason automobiles have skyrocketed is because of the lack of computer chips. we have the capacity and we will do everything in our power to do it to become self-reliant on the chips that we need in order to be able to produce more automobiles. that's underway. we already passed it within the context of another bill, money for that in the house of representatives, before the house of representatives. there is a way we can move, for example, to get that one thing done it can make a big difference in terms of the total costs of living. now, with regard to energy prices, that gets a little more complicated. but you saw what happened when i was able to convince everyone from including china, india, number of other countries to go with us into their version of the petroleum reserve, to release more into the market, bringing down the price 12, $.15 per gallon in some places. other places more. there is going to be a reckoning on the line as to whether or not we will continue to see oil prices going up in the ways they are going up now relative to the impact it will h

do you know how much the price of automobile has gone up the last year?i don't know precisely food has gone up about 6% as the official status when i talk to people say it's more than 30 to 40%. energy costs have gone up 30% and frankly i appreciate the discussion d on electric cars, t the discussion seems a little bit like we are putting the cart before the horse and to bring this into a little bit of context i want to read this from the report that said in terms of size, speed and directional flow, the transfer of global wealth and economic power now underway roughly from west to east is without precedent in modern history. it derives from two sources first of all increases in oil and commodity prices generated windfall profits for the gulf states and russia. second, lower costs combined with government policies with manufacturing some sources to asia and so right now we are in an unprecedented shift where everything the american workers are working forca has been shifting overseas in terms of economic influence and inn terms of wealth and prosperity an

you trying to make it impossible for people to drive automobiles. because you despise automobiles. you will make it difficult to drivers as you can. that may not be real in the long run. you may be creating problems of congestion and outrage that you cannot believe. think carefully. >> caller: hi, i'm in district 7 resident, member of the san francisco transit riders and regular rider of the 43, 44 and the 1. i want to call in and say i enjoyed the changes to the 1 to chinatown and 43 northbound towards presidio as transit only lanes really improved performance as a rider. one of the best ways to get cars off the road to is to create well functioning transit system. it's faster, cheaper and there's no parking anxiety, there's no driving anxiety. you're just on a bus and you're enjoying life. transit lane are a powerful tool that creates a powerful system. i urge the sfmta to approve the transit only lane and continue to roll out additional transit lanes of urgency. >> caller: i want to talk about one california line. larkin street going towards chinatown. the three minutes saving t

whether those were automobiles, automobile components, i electronic components, home furnishings, and all of that product as opposed to service expenditure boosted demand. and that, of course, fueled further production demand and china. absolutely, that's an excellent explanation. exactly. what's going on there doing quotes? christy, we've been talking about strange supply chains for nearly 2 years. and there was a lot of talk about how this whole thing with miss managed state side. but there is also the point that the port of los angeles saw a record year of 4 cargo, a 13 percent increase from his previous record in 2018. so it is having more products coming in from china to elsewhere. actually have something to do with the issues that we actually saw with supply chain. i mean, it certainly contributed to the congestion that the poor, but you can't blame it entirely on increased imports. sure, an increase in imports mean more container ship with goods waiting to be loaded, but the fiasco l. a ports was caused by the entire breakdown and the supply chain, which runs much deeper than j

haley dow, automobile collision. joe mound, diesel technology. it's programs like these that offer a path for students to pursue high demand, good paying jobs and we must continue to support them in this state. please join me in recognizing these hardworking students. [applause] after working closely with missouri's higher education institution, we are very proud to be able to increase our investments in higher education. we will recommend funding for the top capital improvements at state community colleges and four-year institutions. combined with the missouri projects and scholarship opportunities, this investment will total nearly $600 million and generate over 1.1 -- $1.1 billion in economic impact for our state.

why is this road and these automobiles being removed in total disregard of the needs of the people on the west side? is it there are other options available to you. for example, instead of having two lanes north and south bound, you could have one lane north and south bound and move it closer to the treatment plant. at the current rate of erosion that would buy us at least another 25 years of usage of that road. why is that not explored? the aerial overhead, that access in the middle could be used as the road connecting to skyline and you wouldn't have automobiles going so far out. they could cut through the middle. why isn't that being explored. somehow for cyclists and pedestrians to have a trail. why wouldn't a bicycle path also be threatened by coastal erosion and yet you're talking about putting in a bicycle path instead of maintaining the road that you have when you could put a bicycle path next to the road by redesigning that with a little bit of creativity. please, do not take away this road from people. thank you. >> thank you for your work on the draft report. i have not rev

front and center was an automobile carrying some disabled veterans and wilson limped over on his cane to pay his respects somebody in the crowd made a speech calling wilson a wounded soldier of the war and promising that his dream of a world without war with the von. 1921 commemoration of the armistice did not end on november 11th. on november 12th harding secretary of state opened the world's first arms control conference, which was also the first summit meeting held in the united states as a gathering of nine nations four small ones plus the five great powers of the day the us britain france, japan and italy and this was called the official name was the conference on the limitation of armament was also known as the washington naval conference. wilson was invited but he declined citing his disability and he picked a good event to miss harding insulted the league of nations by saying that the conference had not been called to remake the entire world. the conference led to several arms control agreements and although they did not last for the ages. they did give the world a 10-year res

for example, one-third of the increase in cost of living is cost of automobiles. the reason automobiles have skyrocketed in price is because of lack of computer chips. so we have the capacity and we're going to do everything in our power to do it to become self-reliant on the computer chips that we need in order to be able to produce more automobiles. that's under way. we've already passed within the context of another bill money for that in the house of representatives before the house of representatives now. but i think there's a way we can move to, if we can move to get, for example, that one thing done, it can make a big difference in terms of the cost of -- total cost of living. now with regard to the whole issue of energy prices, that gets a little more complicated. but you saw what happened when i was able to convince everyone from including china, india, number of other countries to agree with us to go into their version of the petroleum reserve, to release more into the market so that that brought down the price about 12, 15 cents a gallon some places. so

hospitals, leaving little room for anyone else who might have a heart attack, or an injury in an automobile accident or any injury at all. and yes, the unvaccinated are dying from covid-19. but here's the deal -- because we've fully vaccinated nearly 210 million americans, the majority of the country is safe from severe covid-19 consequences. that's why, even as the number of cases among the vaccinated americans go up, deaths are down dramatically from last winter. for example, before its vaccination requirement, the united states -- excuse me -- united airlines was averaging one employee dying a week from covid-19. after implementing its requirement, it has led to 99% of its employees being vaccinated. united had 3,600 employees test positive, but zero hospitalizations, zero deaths in over 8 weeks. but as long as we have tens of millions of people who will not get vaccinated, we're going to have full hospitals and needless deaths. so the single most important thing to determine your outcome in this pandemic is getting vaccinated. if you're not vaccinated, join the nearly 210 million americ
