how do we purchase that? we are in deep discussion on how we separate that. you will start to see us look at how we separate those two, how we resource them and how we organize around them. we have to have operators prepared to be combat ready to be delivered today. as we work on these capabilities, getting the training on new systems, to have operators ready to fight with these constellations as they are delivered. >> ed, many people out there have term it as disruptive. from the industry viewpoint, what have you experienced? has it changed how you think about the state force acquisitions? >> i think industry welcomes it. one of the things he has done is put an emphasis on acquiring a capability, meaning the best sensor system and capability with the time domain every two years. when you start to look at prioritizing speed and the technical capability, you win up with a different solution, a solution that is not architected , a solution that does not have a government customer lebanon our facility every day, proving every test document we do, every time we m

are-that we can-that we have that we are not able to get. knowing we can take care, knowing we are qualified for the job for the contracts is like it is still a fight, so again, with my colleagues just asking that you take into consideration that us being micro lbe that we have that opportunity in our own community to provide for our community and get jobs and get contracts. that's it. thank you. >> anybody else wish to provide comment? mr. moderator, do we have callers on the line? >> there are two callers in the queue. >> again commissioners, you need to read the document that the task force created that was appointed initially linked to the community benefit. the community benefits haven't been addressed because the sfpuc under general manager kelly decided to choose duane jones as the (indiscernible) for aecom. (indiscernible) working for the sfpuc it do the outreach. when these small businesses come for anybody who is (indiscernible) we cannot approach to any of the commissions. they are left to fend for themselves, just like the bayvie

we tried to hope ukraine and we pray for ukraine. i know ukraine well win the war. but also, experience has shown that countries should not wait until the end of a war to begin planning for the end and only by doing so can they honor the sacrifice of those that gave their lives for a better future. thank you. let me thank all of the people. i look forward to continuing this conversation. thank you. let's get started, everybody. one of your final panelists of the day. we have a great panel here. i am impressed with the group. that the chamber assembled for our conversation about some of the developments that have happened since the war started in ukraine and some things going forward as well. i saw president biden on his recent trip to warsaw, poland. it is remarkable to see the support ukraine has around the world, particularly when i was in warsaw. two weeks ago, he interviewed ukraine's to the u.s.. it was an interesting interview. it was at opening day of the washington nationals and i have to say that if you did not see, it was a

when we reach 35 we cannot work like that. then, how do we secure the mindset? i think of the eu as a balanced diet regarding security. >> let me ask the general to react. the eu is doing quite a bit in the defense space. there has been a lot of concern about duplication with nato. from your vantage point are you concerned about duplication or do you see the roles as complementary? >> no, in your daily work you see that it's matter-of-fact what you have. i was the planning director of the chairman of armed forces and a lot of european nations coping with the same problem. i had to cope with three planning processes. a national one, an eu one, and a nato one. you would see that everyone comes to the conclusion that we should strive to have one. it is the nato one. if you look across it is a whole government approach. you have instruments of power. the eu has more because nato is a political-military alliance. this is the one we use primarily. of course, there are certain things we need to have like command and control. this is what we see in the daily work. what

>> we are on 13? >> we are on 13. we need to take public comment and get through 14 as well. >> seeing no public comment, public comment is closed. >> item 14, discussion item. differed corchlsation compensation committee report. >> i move we take this as submitted. >> second. >> moved and seconded. >> i lost track of numbers. which are we on? >> 14. >> one was labeled as discussion. i make the motion. the issue about the glidepath- >> we are not there yet. >> okay, it was under 14 on my binder. okay. stop. go ahead. >> we are on item 14 is moved and seconded. public comment? >> it is discussion item. >> we don't need a motion on 14. >> thank you. >> any member s of the public who would like to comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> item 15, action item. approval of the target date funds glidepath and tactical asset allocation bands. [audio cut out] >> i'm not making a motion, i'm ready to vote against it, that's why. i know there is work to be done. i'm trying to figure a motion that won't stop what has t

we are talking and having lots of conferences and we are talking. we are moving. we need to move and a move that we need to make is the london ukraine recovered conference june 21 and 22nd. british government is a key element in this conference and i want to talk about the recommendations. we need to move the policy framingdl needle. there needs to be aa shared agreement on the use of russian assets. theree needs to be more insurane and a risksharing a investment n mechanisms. we need mechanisms for war bonds so ukrainian diaspora and others can create investment to the craning private sector can access that. we need absolutely that sectoral focus. here's a greatt news, from a vibrant ukrainian sector it means the capitol need to cut through this and start these early recoveries in the west where we can rebuild. i honestly they can produce a thousand reports and similar reports. but we had to move forward and this is why it's so it's essential to unleash the private sector. let the policy be supportive of that. if we continue to have analysis paralysis paralysis a

but we then and there we have to do more. in terms of effectiveness we do evaluate our quick build products in terms of over all and specific tools they use. and when we have seen is that our quick build investments result in 30% reduction where they are install third degree is a big deal if we prevent a third of injury crashes we should do temperature we have confidence that our quick build investments do make sense and improving safety. in terms of the speed limit changes, i agree with your perceptions that the evaluation results in the case and a lot of case what is we were doing is bringing the speed limit where it should have been if you have a narrow commercial like haight the speeds were less than 20 miles per hour it always should have been 20 and the state gave us authority and we have done and it is as it should be. on other streets we have work to get to the 20 ocean avenue or third street you have multilane street with muni service on it. we'll need to figure out additional tools and i think that is where the educ

thank you, we have to cut you off we

my belief is we need to do everything we can in my commitment is we will do everything we can to stopit. >> thank you. i would argue this committee, they may want to take a position on that. i want to go back to comments about social media. right now, there's a piece of legislation named after a young man from kansas who bought a fake prescription online on snapchat, he thought it was percocet, he took a half pill and he died. we have to force more to do social meet -- or social media companies to be responsible. can i ask each of you what you're doing? this is not your area of responsibility, we have to engage globally and the ways in which people are getting access to fentanyl. what are each of you doing to engage? >> thank you. there's a lot more. we are forward to working with you to figure out what those solutions are. it's clear when illegal activity happens, that cannot be tolerated any longer. we're looking forward to working with you. >> we are told that american lives are being lost and we have asked them to do more. i would welcome the opportunity, one goal is accountabilit

this comes down to will we stand up for what we believe and if we don't stand up there, why would we stand of any other place? stacie: we will come to a close today. thank you senator for offering your thoughts on such a wide range of topics. thank you to the in person and the virtual audience. [applause] the u.s.

we so thomas, we are alive. let me ask you just one specific question, because we're running out of time. what's the use plan? if china invades tie one, what's the plan you, you, the plane is to do everything to convince china not to he took some stick. yeah. but if you failed, was that what this does this plan? he's been playing b r i with partners with to do in any case. what do you remember the, the weights for the start of the war against russia? we worked in trustworthiness and was all our partners to do to assist what would be our reactions? and we would, we would do the same and we are doing the same set up and it didn't prevent the yeah, yeah. because in fact you absolutely right there was someone in the kremlin, we sure who to, to the decision to stop a crazy war. the criminal saw and we are doing every scene to talk to, to make sure that you quinn because he's our interest. sha, michelle. great, have you come pick some things are watching data with ah, [000:00:00;00] with who are using high tech to com

we pickup trash, we pickup needles, we clean toilets, we provide showers, we staff the sip hotels when nobody else would and we're still staffing some of the most innovative models are saying, which many are saying what are you guys doing down there? we need to do something. these men and women who you see behind me, the beginning of a revolution of how we provide social services, and it's time. because it's been stagnant for about 50 years. we're here today at this oasis, how many remember what this used to look like just three years ago? i'm not going to say it because i don't want any weird sound bites but you know what i'm talking about. i think this is symbolic of what we're working for every day, to create a change in this city. it's been two months, mayor breed you said, enough is enough for this bull shit. and that resonated with everybody because everybody felt it in their heart, i know you took a lot for it but it needed to be safe. urban space is for and by the community we work hand and land in the tenderloin community to build this space, we serve coffee, tea and water in

we need to stand up for what we believe in. and be honest with ourselves about where we are not doing enough. we need to engage with the world and put in place policies that reinforce our values. everywhere. if we believe in freedom, equality, a healthy environment and rule of law, then we have to believe it for everyone. in the aftermath of 2008, there was a lot of distrust and anger, understandable anger from citizens. gdp grew, but wages stalled and the promise of progress, that promise that each generation would do better in hard work them the one before. no longer seemed to hold true. in the mid teens, people were faced with the political choice. one, to burn it all down to attack our institutions, become isolationist, protectionist and nativist. the other, was to roll up our sleeves and get to work fixing it. and canada, that is the path we chose. in 2015. when other places were tearing up trade deals we signed more. canada is the only g7 country with the free-trade deal with every other g7 country. canada has privileged

we are only as strong abroad as we are here. transportation, clean energy, healthcare, education and workforce development, if we fail to continue investing in the american people do not only will we fail the next generation of americans but we will be unable to capitalize in investment in the defense budget for a strong american workforce. if we want to put forth continued investment in the aerospace industry, the electronic space industry who must be sure we are investing put in support industrial efforts and that is our people. we cannot afford to defund the defense bill on the 11 other appropriation bills. i want to commend secretary alston recent reproductive health care policy decisions. the department policy is legal, fair and will provide servicewomen and families to ensure they are titled. turning back to the defense budget, i was encouraged to see increase of climate change effort resiliency at installation is vital to train and to win. as this request works, i look forward to hearing how our military is in the future.

we do what we know needs to be done.we can embrace the small case of reconciliation that colonel mcfarlane had fostered and now a fan up the euphrates river valley, and eventually into baghdad. and we are going to more relentlessly pursue the irreconcilable leaders of the insurgent groups, reconciling with 80,000 sunni insurgents and 23,000 shia militia. all of this time clearing and holding, not handing off as jack described was the case, clearing and holding, building and rebuilding, and slowly over many subsequent months after reconstituting the iraqi forces with a formal process during which we also fired the most abusive leaders, then allowing gradual transition. and only doing so based on actual conditions on the ground, which president bush resolutely supported. as opposed to the case years later in afghanistan where it was going to happen regardless, candidly, to a considerable degree. >> remember the time frame, he loses the midterm election over the war, 2006. he fires rumsfeld after that. so, he has always had

as we adjust how we train and educate marines, we also need to reevaluate their careers, how we manage people. weekend no longer view marines as inventory which is how historically we have, kind of an industrial model. the model that we had in the marine corps since the end of the vietnam conflict basically said we will replace all these marines at the end of their four years with a whole new batch of new ones. it worked for 50 years arguably, really effective marine corps. but going forward, i think we must prioritize quality over quantity. we owe it to them to try to keep them around at the end of their four years and honestly, i think we owe it to the taxpayer to do the same. just when they get to the point where they are trained and their leaders and they have the experience, we cannot show them the back door. we cannot train them, deploy them, thank you for your service and then asked them to leave. we are already seeing dividends. last year, retention for us -- that's what happens at the end of your contract. last year, way exceeded our goals. this year, 50% better than last year

we are not. we need to think what a.i. looks like in china and how it can be use for nepharious purposes. mr. swalwell: switching to insurers and most successful insurer is not the one who has the most policies because you would not and i know in the cybersecurity strategy you put out, you conceive or contemplate a tr inch a-like system and if you could speak to cyber insurance and i'm thinking about the giants they are going to figure out. i really do worry the smaller and medium-sized businesses that are wrap up here with my final minute to speak to cyber insurance? ms. easterly: we are doing a study based on the national security strategy. we don't have a comprehensive view of the landscape because we don't have legislation. we have that implementation. i think that hinders cyber insurance companies from being able to price insurance companies if you don't understand what baseline is for cyber incidents and attacks. some of the discussion i think lloyd's made the decision they exclude state actors. it would make it diff

because of the standard that we hold ourselves to, we never settle, and when we see an issue we swiftly find ways to address them together. that's why we've asked people to come here today. and while u.s. aviation remains an exceptionally safe routes of travel, whether you compare it to other routes, places, or other times in history, we take nothing for granted. and we have seen an uptick in serious close calls, that we must address together. initial information suggests that more mistakes than usual are happening across the system. at runways, at gates where planes are pushing back, on control towers and flight decks. today is about the entire system which means it's about all of us. this is a key priority for the faa, for the entire department and for the administration, i know it is for everyone who is gathered here. that is why we are not going to rest easy with the past to success. we are going to consistently look for ways to enhance safety, including efforts that we already have underway like rolling out the taxiway prediction arrival procedures. moving forward with the air forc

we have actually we have we give 14 prizes away and we have 12 panels of judges that are that are comprised of like three, mostly three judges each. we have one panel. our issue with christopher isherwood prize, which has five judges. but so we we work with the judges year round to supply them with books and to manage that whole process. so we have judging judging panels that read all year and then culminate in the prize ceremony that is going to take place on april 21st. so let's go back to that question. what's your advice to someone who wants to start a book festival? and i know the tucson festival of books got started after visit ing the l.a. times festival, right? yes, they did. and they've got a wonderful fair that just took place a week or two ago, i think. and i know it was very successful. so it's it's wonderful to see how how how they've grown over the years. gosh, i still. what would it what what does it take to start a tour? to start a festival like this? i would say it takes a great team of people that are that are committed to working this from the ground up and figuring out w

now, we are much more data-driven than we used to be. we look at market research figures, we measure the return on investment. we use digital media in that way as well. so, they have become, i think, much more analytically-driven than perhaps they used to be. francine: what is the biggest challenge going forward? is it, if you look at some of the technology companies, twitter, facebook, is that still where the future lies? mark: well, it was interesting, you know, in the first six months of this year, if you look at wpp, we have actually grown more quickly than the average of the four tech companies. google, meta, snap, and twitter. so, in a funny way, the challenges they faced are somewhat different from the challenges that we've faced. you know, we tend to have bigger, more global clients. we are not so reliant on venture capital-funded startups. so i think we are actually coming into the future in quite a good position. and actually there are going to be a lot of opportunities for us. francine: who do you see as your biggest rival? ma

we value it and we want to grow it. but we can't do it on the backs of consumers. mr. waterson, if you will call my constituent, i will feel better that you will be hearing the real voices of consumers direct the. thank you. >> thank you, madam chair. and welcome to each of the witnesses at this hearing. a few moments ago, i referenced the bipartisan and pro-jobs legislation that this committee will be moving forward over the next two years, right at the top of that list. it will be reauthorizing federal aviation administration. it is a real opportunity for this committee to focus on aviation safety and also innovation and ensuring that we have a competitive aviation sector that gives consumers what they want, which is low prices and the ability to get where they want to go for work or for play, inexpensively, and conveniently. safety, quite rightly, is the top priority of the faa. did we should not be compromising on safety with too many recent near misses. we have to consider how to keep our airspace safe and efficient, just this past weekend in austin texas, there w

when we do that. that's what we can be sure of. and that's what you, the people of newtown, have reminded us. that's how you've inspired us. you remind us what matters and. that's what you drive us forward in. everything we do for as long god sees fit to keep us on this earth. let the little children come to me. jesus said, and do not hinder them for such belongs the kingdom of heaven. charlotte. daniel daniel. olivia. josephine. anna dylan. madeline. katherine. chase. jesse james. grace. emily. jack. noah. caroline. jessica. benjamin. ava. leo. allison. god has called them all home. for those of us who remain. let us find the strength to carry on and make our country worthy of their memory. may god bless and keep those we've lost in his heavenly place. he grace those we still have with his holy comfort. and may he and watch over this community and the united states of america. giving all praise and honor to god. the bible calls to hope, to persevere persevere and have faith in not seen right. they were still living by faith when d

we did a national study, we made recommendations.ou can still look at that, those recommendations have made a difference in our society. we have moved in that direction in which we understand fundamentally in a school, if you are going to protect children, you need to have armed personnel to protect the children. [applause] in arkansas, we not only put school resource officers that were trained in law enforcement techniques, but we also authorized school personnel and commissioned as a commissioned officer to carry a firearm in the school and protect the children. [applause] we understood that the best action is an armed personnel in order to protect children from an armed intruder. the time of response is critical. that is why we wanted to make sure that the school had the personnel there that was trained and ready to respond. we did that, now we have over 80 schools in which we have over 500 commissioned personnel that has been trained to carry a firearm and use it if necessary to protect the children. that is being duplicated acro

as we get closer to the fall, we make sure we get the world out. as i mentioned, we want to work with rural hospitals, committee hospitals, homeless shelters because i really believe there is a better way to give access to people to uninsured. we have heard loud and clear that the system's headed by big companies is too complicated. too much paperwork, takes too much time. >> i just want a commitment that you are going to make sure the public understands that there is a way to get this if you are uninsured. correct? >> senator, we are going to work really hard to make sure the public understands the process. >> and my final question really is about the covid-19 vaccine trials that excluded pregnant populations, which left moms and their doctors with very little information to guide them. it cost a lot of confusion. we know that pregnant patients in covid are at greater risk if they are infected. last week, actually, the cdc released new data showing that 40% increase in maternal deaths compared to 2020 and a recent g.a.o. report found covid-19 when

when we had room in the budget we add those in. and basic tale is like the way the co-ops work for people who don't know you reason or bea flat and shared casework and shared house and structured for people with severe behavioral health issues, there are 3 programs that run i don't know how many but that could be if we squeeze in housing where we can. would be awe in. i think thank you so much for this, this is great. >> thank you. >> any other members? i think i would wait to heart department presentation and more discussion after this. >> wonderful. with that. beale move to item 3. which is the presentation of mental health budget proposals. with the discussion and possible action by the committee. welcome. director kirkpatrick. okay. now i think can you hear me. thank you to the committee and member country hymn-denning for your work in recommendations for the behavioral health budget for prospect c. the department's proposal next slide for the 2 year budget cycle continuous our investment plan approved part of the prior year bu

we need to make sure that we avoid default. we are going to look at the impact. >> but you're saying there will be a meeting at some point? >> we don't have one to announce at this point. >> the house passed a bill this morning that would amend a title ix to the definition of the statute statute. does the white house have a position on that bill? >> i don't have a position on that bill but we have -- the department of education proposed a rule to clarify that lgbtq kids have fundamental protections against discrimination in the nation's schools. last week, as you know, they proposed a rule that helps clarify how those protections would work in the context of the athletics. clearly the education department could certainly lay that out more but we believe that we are committed and we want to make sure that we are protecting those kids and we don't have anything particular on this. >> the influence or dylan mulvaney has been the target of a mÉnage of attacks from anti-trans individuals online after in and with bud light a couple o

we are not, we do not have to be.e don't have to be carthage, think of it this way, we are just a little young. going through our own version of adolescence. figuring out who we are really going to be when we grow up. when we see it that way, it becomes obvious that our best days as a country, in a true way, are actually ahead of us. hope you share my confidence that we will get there and i am here to help us deliver that to the next generation. thank you so much, god bless you all, and bless your families, god bless our country, the united states of america. thank you. [applause] >> now please welcome senator tim scott. [applause] >> hello iowa! [applause] just this weekend, a liberal reporter wrote that the era of value voters was over. how ridiculous is that? they have never been to the great state of iowa. they have never been in a room with 1000 value voters who have faith on their sleeves and jesus in their hearts. [applause] i am glad to be in a room filled with motivated and excited believers. i like to walk a

we grew and now we offer -- i think we had nine, we have a series where adults learned home cooking andacher training workshop where san francisco unified public school teachers came and learned to use cooking for the core standards. we range all over the place. we really want everyone to feel like they can be included in the conversation. a lot of organizations i think which say we're going to teach cooking or we're going to teach gardening, or we're going to get in the policy side of the food from conversation. we say all of that is connected and we want to provide a place that feels really community oriented where you can be interested in multiple of those things or one of those things and have an entree point to meet people. we want to build community and we're using food as a means to that end. >> we have a wonderful organization to be involved with obviously coming from buy right where really everyone is treated very much like family. coming into 18 reasons which even more community focused is such a treat. we have these events in the evening and we really try and bring people tog

we don't want escalation, we don't want war, we will never attack.t want war with russia not to believe a single word. we must remember one simple thing - they will have the slightest opportunity to attack and destroy. they will know that there will be no answer, they will know that there will be nothing for them, just as there was nothing in yugoslavia for this in libya, there was nothing for this in syria in iraq, which means they will attack and destroy in the name of democracy and freedom and all belarusians who will die here. they'll say no big deal. this is for the great bright future, so not believing a single word is the only way to prevent war being strong, therefore the president is right, when now is over. all these years, especially the last year pays a huge amount of attention not in words to issues of national security and our military power, and i'm not afraid of this word, but in fact today we actually pushed the war aside. it was very simple that they pushed aside not by their rhetoric, nor by their promises, not by their words, but

what we have heard so far is we have a couple of issues we are looking. one is the booster ta*pg pressurization. final pressurization was a little bit long. that's not unusual. we have held at t minus 40 seconds before to pressurize. that appears to have been resolved. at the same time on the second stage they are working final purging. we should know very shortly if that is good and if we'll continue the countdown. >> everyone, especially that person. keep going. we should know shortly if we are able to continue. as we mentioned before we are able to hold up to 15 minutes and still be able to lift off today. >> it's a little different on falcon, once we start propellant loading we have to go at the targeted time. otherwise the propellant can warm up and we may not have the performance of that mission profile. it's a little bit different -- >> if i could interrupt. looks like they are tphraoerg all the flags we are going to release at t minus 40 seconds. >> amazing news. >> team working quickly on their issues through first and second stages. >> i'm sure

we don't want to be a barrier, we have to make sure we are providing safety but we also want to make sure we are partnering with business and industry and growth in the state a bio up. i am looking forward to it. i think we have laid out a strategic and well-thought-out plan. i just got a quick update i think that lee's -- that is running it. i will be interested to see. were not very should be. you just tend to add and you never knew the hard work. there is a process if there are some new regulations that absolutely need to be put in place. we've got a process for them to be able to do that but we have tried to keep that as well. >> my name is -- freeman. i write about women in politics. iowa has been the home of some great women. what are you doing to enhance women's opportunities at this time? >> thank you for that. first of all, being the first female to lead the state of bio as governor, a do not think i really even fully understand the impact, but i can't tell you how many little girls recognize me and just want their picture taken or just want to come up and say hi. i am tryin

we still have that. we want to be able to deploy. but, from a sector perspective, as it is particular to ukraine, we look at the topic we are talking about. digital connectivity. that is why we well, i am sure, get into a question around transformational exports. that's an area. renewables is an area we will be looking at. but the most important need will really be around what president biden is doing with his g-7 colleagues around the partnership for global infrastructure and investment. that is why we know infrastructure needs will be great. xm has exceptional expertise and experience in large rail, roads, bridges, types of projects as well as digital connectivity efforts. we want to see some of those projects lately, those very good bankable projects creating jobs, not just in the u.s., but also, in ukraine, they will be areas i know we will be able to focus on. >> each of the companies on the panel has worked alongside the ukrainian government and other private and public organizations to support the people of ukraine through tec

we have 6 settlements on it, they are working, we got 40 permits in mashhad , tabriz , almost 20 haven placed and the rest are in the process of studies and placement. create a good agreement in the middle of the year in the past, we made an agreement with the ministry of science in the areas that are prone to welcome knowledge-based companies in industrial cities. we have licensed these areas as knowledge-based campuses. in the ataf council, god willing, as soon as these are approved, this will always be connected to a science and technology park within the city. been to the door the national license of the land gate is connected and we have the license to do it in this way. all our transfers are done electronically, as you have done paper how to transfer the transfers and hats electronically. by forcing us to hold an auction, how on earth is it possible for the applicant to determine who to give this place to? well, it is very difficult to find an auction for the qualitative evaluation of economic actors. it doesn't matter if the electronics are part of it alhamdulillah, the land wa

when we say transparency, what specifically do we mean? half $1 trillion to spend under the infrastructure law and inflation reduction act to distribute to our region, to our communities, with priorities for transparency, sustainability, equity across the board, promoting economic growth with quality infrastructure. we are eager to share from a technical perspective what those pieces of infrastructure, transparency requirements, and the way that we organize this in coordination with states, localities, and the private sector. you think that kind of experience can be very helpful in this article time for ukraine. in the middle of the war, it is attempting to bring us forward. andrew mentioned this morning the digital infrastructure is going to be critical for the private sector to be able to participate in this reconstruction in a way that efforts are not duplicated, and there is conflicting norms and priorities. and that means a level of digital coordination that really is quite large in terms of what is going to be needed. to me it is ver

we are surging resources to the border but we cannot do everything that we need to do until congress provides the needed resources and reforms. we call on congress to provide the resources we need to continue our work. we stand ready to work with congress to pass desperately needed reform to our immigration and asylsystem. in the meantime, we will continue to do our part, implementing the approach we have described here today. thank you. >> we will take a couple of questions. i see we have a special guest today. i don't know if you want to ask the secretaries first. >> that's right. it's take your children to work day and we're happy to happy to take a question from you if you have or you can, you can whisper to, you can whisper to matt. well, i think she wanted to ask about the geopolitical and strategic implications of the us - china-russia rivalry. but that's a little bit off topic. instead, she had a joke she wanted to tell, but i don't not sure she's got a little bit of stage fright. so let me, let me go ahead and start one for either of you on the regional processing centers. d

we are like leave us alone we are good.nd going into iraq, that was the crazy thing, i read a line about the vietnam war is the most dangerous thing is a 17-year-old kid with a rifle and a license to use it. do not, do not mess with us we go berserk. but that said, i was frequency hopping there for a moment. you talk about taiwan. absolutely a threat. i believe that we will play right into the chinese hand. remember -- a lot of people made fun of reagan with star wars and really, some great strategists go what is our competitive advantage through technology and our economic strength. let's bankrupt the soviet union. and i think a lot of those techniques were to goad the soviets into spending money they did not have and i think it worked. some people are still arguing about whether or not that is valid. i am concerned the chinese are doing the act name thing to us right now. they are like, oh yeah, you need to build more 14 billion dollar aircraft carriers and f-35's $1.5 trillion in a program the largest program in the hist

>> we talk about that, and maybe, we believe that when we talk about this, we talk about doing this withnds. never forget that the u.s. is the largest investor in rants. you are presenting 70%. you are toying with the lion share of jobs every year in so, we have an acquaintance between the europe and the u.s. which is second to none. in this rivalry which is raising and china in the u.s., we have no debate about the fact share value, but we also want to basically recognize that we have our own assets, and it is fracturing segment by segment. these relations of the time maybe gone, but the necessary push for innovations all over the place, in order to address this is a fundamental. that is not change. >> final question. we talk about the fact that they invest in france at scale, but i'm wondering whether or not those investors are having second thoughts given that many tech companies are learning they are struggling to lay people off in france because of regulation. we've also seen strikes and the impact those strikes are having on all aspects of life. do you think those strikes are putti

we never say this is what we think will happen. we make a tentative forecast.hen we let the data come in. for example, if the data were to continue to come in stronger than we expect, and we were to conclude that we needed to raise rates more than what was priced into the markets, or that we wrote down in our last group of forecast in september, we would certainly raise rates more. david: you said that the inflation rate target is 2%. but why 2% and not 3%? 3% could be tolerable. for most of organized history, 3% is considered okay. why do you want 2%? chair powell: 2% is the global standard, and that is our objective. 2% as measured by the pce index. that is not something we are looking at changing. that is not going to change. david: that is not going to change? chair powell: no. david: so you need to get to 2%, and your goal to get there is by what period of time would you like to get there? chair powell: we say we are using our tools to get there over time. if you look at our forecast, we expect 2023 to be a year of significant declines in inflation. it is
