The international climate negotiation process stands at a critical juncture. At the recent COP29 summit in Azerbaijan, nations struggled to find common ground on financial support and carbon market strategies, all while grappling with the persistent influence of fossil fuel industries.  Industrialized countries did pledge $300 billion to help developing nations adapt to climate change, but scientists say the commitment is still far short of the trillion dollars needed to prevent catastrophic environmental impacts.  So, how can global leaders close the financing gap? And what practical approaches can ensure meaningful progress in climate negotiations amid rapidly changing political landscapes? This week host Bill Loveless talks with Elliot Diringer about the COP process and what the outcome of this year's summit means for the global energy transition. Elliot is a global fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA, directing the Center's International Dialogue on Climate and Trade. He served as a senior policy advisor to Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry and led the establishment of the Energy Transition Accelerator under the Biden administration. Elliot also spent more than 20 years at the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, serving as the head of the international program. He has attended 26 Conference of the Parties summits, most recently attending COP29 in Azerbaijan.

Former U.S. Secretary of State and Inaugural U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry joins The Post's Jonathan Capehart from Washington Post Live's "This is Climate Summit" in New York City to discuss the climate talks between China and the United States, the role of global cooperation to meet the generational challenge of protecting our planet and what the United States needs to learn from its competitor. Conversation recorded on Monday, September 23, 2024.

In this episode of Capital for Good we speak with Lise Strickler '86 and Mark Gallogly '86, the co-founders of Three Cairns Group, a mission driven investment and philanthropic firm focused on the climate crisis. In the years since Columbia Business School, where they met in 1986, Mark has worked in investing, philanthropy, and public policy; as co-founder of Centerbridge Partners, an investment firm with over $30 billion of assets under management; and before at The Blackstone Group. Mark's work in public service has included two stints under President Obama, and most recently at the US State Department as an Expert Senior Advisor to Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry. Lise has extensive experience in the climate advocacy sector and has spent the last 20 years working with local, state, and national organizations to advance public policy and build momentum for scalable solutions to the world's climate crisis, including as a board member of the Environmental Defense Fund and co-chair of their 501(c)4 political advocacy partner, EDF Action; on the leadership council of the Yale School of the Environment; and on the advisory boards of Environmental Advocates NY, the Yale Center for Environmental Law & Policy, Columbia University's Climate School, the Tamer Center for Social Enterprise at Columbia Business School, and the Adirondack Trail Improvement Society.  In this wide-ranging conversation, we cover a number of the challenges — and promising solutions — to the climate crisis. We begin with their respective “climate journeys,” including for both formative childhood experiences in nature and the outdoors. Lise credits her parents for “passing on the values of hard work, conservation, and leaving the world better than you found it,” and recalls how the environmental activism of the 1970s, including the passage of important legislation like the Clean Air and Water Acts, shaped her understanding of environmental issues and the potential to address them. We discuss the genesis of the Three Cairns Group, and some of its first major initiatives, each focused, in different ways, on developing ideas and climate solutions that are potentially scalable, and then working with partners across sectors and across the world to implement. For example, Three Cairns has recently launched Allied Climate Partners (ACP), a platform that has aggregated capital from philanthropy, governments, development finance institutions and the private sector to support early-stage climate projects and businesses in emerging markets, including in Southeast Asia, the Caribbean and Central America, Africa, and India. We also explore why Mark and Lise believe that universities, as centers of learning, “creators of new knowledge that advance civilization,” and places that produce the leaders for tomorrow are natural partners for their work on climate. We touch on various efforts they are involved in at Columbia and Yale.  Finally, Lise and Mark remind us that, while the challenges of the climate crisis are many, there are number of breakthroughs that motivate them to keep moving forward: some technological, like MethaneSat, a new $100 million methane tracking satellite, or the falling costs of renewables; some policy related, like the passage of the federal Inflation Reduction Act, the Infrastructure and Jobs Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, that are driving trillions of dollars into climate, or more locally the promise of congestion pricing in places like New York City that will reduce emissions and elevate the importance of public transportation as a climate and equity issue. Lise and Mark note that communicating these gains, and framing climate challenges as ones we have solutions to – and agency in – is critical to the tackling the crisis, particularly for young people “who want things to be better, and want to make them better.” Thanks for Listening!

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (02/07/2024): 3:05pm The Senate's bipartisan border security/foreign aid bill failed to achieve the 60-vote threshold necessary to advance. The final vote was 49 to 50. Karoun Demirjian of The New York Times writes: “Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the majority leader, changes his vote to no, which is a strategic procedural move to make sure he can raise the measure again, not a sign that he has suddenly changed his mind about the substance of the bill.” She continues: “Four Republicans voted to advance the foreign aid measure that included border security provisions: Senators James Lankford of Oklahoma, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine and Mitt Romney of Utah. Four Democrats—Senators Alex Padilla of California, Bob Menendez of New Jersey, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Ed Markey of Massachusetts—voted against doing so, as did Senator Bernie Sanders, independent of Vermont.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/02/07/us/congress-ukraine-israel-aid/85a3b581-3ab8-527c-bb12-ee1ee4be6664?smid=url-share 3:20pm- While appearing on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) blamed Republican leadership in the Senate for helping Democrats look good by agreeing to an ineffective border bill prior to clearing it with the Republican party members. 3:25pm- Speaking to the press, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) explained why he vehemently opposes the Senate bipartisan border security/foreign aid bill. “The idea that we are committed to supporting whatever came out of this negotiation is pure, unadulterated bulls***. We supported a negotiation to bring common sense border security to this country—we did not agree to a fig leaf to send another $61 billion to Ukraine.” 3:40pm- On Tuesday, Nevada held its presidential primary. Despite basically running uncontested, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley received fewer votes than the “None of These Candidates” option on the ballot. With 88% of the vote counted Haley trails 63% to 31%. On Thursday, the Nevada Republican Party will hold its presidential caucus which Donald Trump is expected to win—and, presumably, will receive the state's 26 delegates. The Nevada primary will award no delegates. 4:05pm- On Tuesday night, Republican leadership in the House of Representatives attempted to impeach Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas but failed. The final vote was 214-216. Four Republicans joined Democrats and voted “nay”— Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin, Ken Buck of Colorado, Blake Moore of Utah, and Tom McClintock of California. Though, Rep. Moore switched his vote for procedural reasons to help Republicans reintroduce the article of impeachment at a later date. Why did Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) hold the vote if he didn't have the numbers? Rep. Al Green (D-TX) had recently undergone abdominal surgery and rushed to the Capitol Hill from his hospital bed—arriving in hospital garb to vote. He was not expected to be in attendance. Republican leadership plans to hold another impeachment vote when House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), who is receiving treatment for cancer, is healthy enough to vote. 4:25pm- While speaking with the press, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) criticized pro-Palestine protesters advocating for a ceasefire, asking: “Why aren't you protesting to bring [the Israeli hostages] home right now? Why aren't you demanding that Hamas surrenders as well?” 4:30pm- According to a report from 6ABC, “two police officers were shot Wednesday afternoon when they responded to reports of a shooting at a home in East Lansdowne, Delaware County. Sources said an 11-year-old was shot inside the home in the unit block of Lewis Avenue. As soon as officers arrived, a person started shooting at them, sources told Action News. Two officers were hit and the suspect retreated into the home, sources said. A fire started at the home about 15 minutes after officers arrived. There were no additional shots fired, but sources said authorities fear the child and suspect may still be in the home.” You can find updates on this developing story here: https://6abc.com/east-lansdowne-house-fire-lewis-avenue-officers-shot/14396024/ 4:50pm- NBC's Chuck Todd accused conservative media of killing the Senate's bipartisan border security/foreign aid deal and of “gaslighting” the American people into believing it wasn't an effective bill. 5:05pm- While appearing on Fox News with Jesse Waters, actress Gina Carano said she is suing Disney for the “next generation” of actors and actresses who may wish to express their conservative political opinions publicly. Disney fired Carano, who at the time starred in the Star Wars series The Mandalorian, in 2021. 5:10pm- Congressman Jeff Van Drew— Representative for New Jersey's 2nd Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss yesterday's vote to impeach Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. Rep. Van Drew explains that as soon as House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) is healthy enough to return to Capitol Hill, Republican leadership will hold another impeachment vote.

The Boston Herald reports that Kerry's 45-person staff has collectively received $4.3 million per year in taxpayer-funded salary. Turner explains: "For nearly three years, John Kerry has been jet-setting on the international climate conference circuit while sending taxpayers the bill. Today, we begin the process of teaching John Kerry and Joe Biden that they work for the taxpayers. No one should have to waste resources on litigation, but that is our only option since John Kerry thinks he can keep his office off the books. The American people are on the receiving end of countless green mandates and rules, gas stove bans and skyrocketing utility bills, with no opportunity for consent or input, and many of these decisions are hatched in John Kerry's office. That is why it is our hope that this litigation will finally bring to light the information we deserve to know: the staff names, the office goals and budgets, the outside partnerships that peddle influence on Joe Biden's green agenda."

A review of dozens of published studies into the mechanisms behind neurological diseases has collected strong evidence that people who frequently pick their noses are at a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. The new report, compiled and written by researchers at Western Sydney University, was published in the journal Biomolecules late last year.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2024/02/04/lifestyle/nose-picking-likely-partially-to-blame-for-alzheimers-disease-scientists/

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/18/2024): 3:05pm- Nick Corasaniti of The New York Times writes: “Former President Donald J. Trump's resounding victory in Iowa significantly raises the stakes of next week's New Hampshire primary for Nikki Haley and the increasingly desperate contingent of Republicans who want to move on from Mr. Trump. While Iowa was largely a foregone conclusion at the top, with a spirited battle only for second place, a small but ever narrowing path still exists for Ms. Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, to beat Mr. Trump in New Hampshire. It relies heavily on tens of thousands of independent voters expected to participate in the Republican primary.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/16/us/politics/haley-new-hampshire-independents-trump.html 3:15pm- Despite finishing behind former President Donald and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in Monday's Iowa caucus, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley claimed that the Republican presidential nomination is now a “two-person race” between herself and Trump. According to Real Clear Politics polling averages, Trump leads Haley 44% to 29% in New Hampshire and 52% to 22% in her home state of South Carolina. Does she have any chance of actually winning Tuesday's NH primary? 3:20pm- On a recent episode of The Journal podcast, New Hampshire voters revealed that they are changing their party affiliation from Democrat to Republican prior to the state's January 23rd primary. Because they can't vote for their preferred candidate—Joe Biden—as he won't appear on the ballot following a Democrat National Committee feud with the state over scheduling dates, many Democrat voters are now registering as Republicans in order to vote against Donald Trump, supporting rival candidates like Nikki Haley. Democrats have seemingly destroyed their own New Hampshire primary, are they impacting the Republican primary as well? 3:40pm- Rich appeared on Fox News with host Dana Perino earlier today and he won't stop mentioning. We are less than an hour into the show and he has already mentioned it seven times! Also, does he need Botox? 3:50pm- A video posted to Fox News' website documents a secret China-run lab in California—which was seemingly used to experiment on dangerous viruses and diseases including Ebola. 3:55pm- Robby Soave of Reason writes: “The World Economic Forum's (WEF) annual meeting is underway in Davos, Switzerland. Last year, disinformation stole the spotlight and was featured as a key problem for global elites to address. This year, the WEF has upped the ante, releasing a report that lists ‘misinformation and disinformation' as the No. 1 short-term risk facing the world—beating out interstate armed conflict, climate change, and lack of economic opportunity. One of the first events at this year's meeting was a panel discussion, ‘Liberating Science,' which largely focused on disinformation as it relates to the climate change agenda.” You can read his full editorial here: https://reason.com/2024/01/18/world-economic-forum-davos-science-disinformation/ 4:05pm- At the World Economic Forum, Harvard Professor Naomi Orsekes accused the social media platform X of disseminating fake information—and, when pressed, she refused to deny that she would recommend censoring the platform. During a panel discussion, Orsekes also claimed that animal agriculture is a “major driver of climate change” and called on people to drastically reduce the amount of meat they consume. 4:15pm- A video posted to Fox News' website documents a secret China-run lab in California—which was seemingly used to experiment on dangerous viruses and diseases including Ebola. Why didn't the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) take the incident more seriously? 4:30pm- During a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland several speakers expressed outrage because citizens of the world no longer trust science blindly—questioning “when did the word ‘expert' become an insult?” 4:40pm- While appearing on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Rep. Jim Jordan accused the U.S. federal government—with the help of tech companies and universities—of targeting conservative voices for censorship prior to the 2020 presidential election. 4:50pm- Following Monday's results of the Iowa caucus, MSNBC host Joy Reid claimed that Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley finished third because of her skin color—arguing that GOP voters could never elect a woman of color. Haley slammed Reid for her comments noting that she was elected to serve as Governor of South Carolina, and that America is not a racist country. 5:05pm- The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes: “No one escapes the climate police these days, and that includes Taylor Swift. The pop star has been criticized recently for emitting CO2 on her frequent trips on a private jet to see her beau Travis Kelce play for the Kansas City Chiefs. But not to worry. A spokesperson for the entertainer says Ms. Swift has been buying carbon offsets.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/taylor-swift-co2-offsets-private-jet-emissions-climate-82bb7d61?mod=opinion_lead_pos1 5:20pm- While participating in a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Vanessa Kerry—daughter of U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry—alleged that the climate crisis is actually a “health crisis.” 5:30pm- On Thursday, Congress passed a bill that would extend government funding into March—temporarily avoiding a government shutdown. The legislation passed 77-18 in the Senate and 314-108 in the House of Representatives. In response to the deal, the House Freedom Caucus tweeted: “The House Freedom Caucus strongly opposes the proposed short-term Continuing Resolution extending government funding to March to facilitate the passage of the Johnson-Schumer agreement's appropriations bills. Americans did not give Republicans a majority in the House to continue Nancy Pelosi's inflationary spending and Joe Biden's failed policies. Unfortunately, that's precisely what has been proposed in order to buy time—incredibly—to pass full-year appropriations that increase Pelosi's spending level and likely preserve Biden's policies. This is not what we promised the American people. Instead, Speaker Mike Johnson should walk away from his agreement with Senate Majority Leader Schumer and pass an appropriations package that meaningfully reduces spending year-over-year and secures our southern border. That is what winning looks like. Seven months ago, over the opposition of many conservatives, Congress raised the debt limit by roughly $4 trillion to January 2025 and, in exchange, established modest spending caps. The recent Johnson-Schumer topline agreement uses those ‘side deals' to spend past the caps by a whopping $69 billion for an unprecedented total of $1.659 trillion—without securing a single commitment on Republican policy priorities. This doesn't preserve the status quo. It makes it worse.” You can find the tweet here: https://twitter.com/freedomcaucus/status/1748077616635007478/photo/1 5:40pm- Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Wednesday, Argentine President Javier Milei told those in attendance “do not surrender” to socialism and to instead embrace capitalism and free markets. He explained, “collectivist experiments are never the solution to the problems that afflict the citizens of the world. Rather, they are the root cause.” Meanwhile, Kevin Roberts, the president of The Heritage Foundation, went nuclear on totalitarian elites at the forum—defending Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump as a protector of individual liberties. 6:05pm- Amy Gardner and Holly Bailey write: “A state judge overseeing the election interference case against former president Donald Trump in Georgia has scheduled a hearing for Feb. 15 to hear evidence regarding accusations that Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis (D) and her lead prosecutor engaged in an improper relationship and mishandled public money.” You can read the full article here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/01/18/judge-orders-hearing-fani-willis-misconduct-georgia-case/ 6:20pm- On Fox News last night, Jesse Waters noted that the lead prosecutor in the Donald Trump Georgia election interference criminal case, Nathan Wade, billed Fulton County for 24-hours of work in a single day. Wade is alleged to have had an improper relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. 6:30pm- Has Rich mentioned that he was on Fox News with Dana Perino earlier today? At least 17 or 18 times, actually. 6:40pm- Why is snortable caffeine a thing? And who could have ever predicted that it isn't good for you? 6:50pm- During a House hearing, Rep. Max Frost (D-FL) drafted a bill to remove the Statue of Liberty in response to Republican demands to secure the U.S. Southern border. Rep. Frost bizarrely argued that the promise of the Statue of Liberty could not be fulfilled without open borders and unrestricted immigration.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Wednesday, Argentine President Javier Milei told those in attendance “do not surrender” to socialism and to instead embrace capitalism, free markets, and individual liberties. Meanwhile, U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry compared the fight against climate change to the fight against Nazi Germany in World War II—ultimately requesting trillions of dollars per year over the next 30-years. At the World Economic Forum, Harvard Professor Naomi Orsekes accused the social media platform X of disseminating fake information—and, when pressed, she refused to deny that she would recommend censoring the platform. Zach Smith—Legal Fellow and Manager of the Supreme Court and Appellate Advocacy Program in Heritage's Meese Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to talk about the U.S. Supreme Court hearing oral arguments in Loper Bright Enterprises v.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/17/2024): 3:05pm- Kristen Pieffer of the Freedonia Group documents the results of a brand-new study on the impact of New Jersey's ban on single-use plastic bags. She writes: “following implementation of the New Jersey bag ban, total bag volumes declined by more than 60% to 894 million bags. However, the study also shows, following New Jersey's ban of single-use bags, the shift from plastic film to alternative bags resulted in a nearly 3x increase in plastic consumption for bags. At the same time, 6x more woven and non-woven polypropylene plastic was consumed to produce the reusable bags sold to consumers as an alternative. Most of these alternative bags are made with non-woven polypropylene, which is not widely recycled in the United States and does not typically contain any post-consumer recycled materials. This shift in material also resulted in a notable environmental impact, with the increased consumption of polypropylene bags contributing to a 500% increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to non-woven polypropylene bag production in 2015. Notably, non-woven polypropylene, NWPP, the dominant alternative bag material, consumes over 15 times more plastic and generates more than five times the amount of GHG emissions during production per bag than polyethylene plastic bags.” You can read the full report here: https://www.freedoniagroup.com/press-releases/freedonia-report-finds-new-jersey-single-use-bag-ban-boosts-alternative-bag-production,-increases-pl 3:20pm- Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Wednesday, Argentine President Javier Milei told those in attendance “do not surrender” to socialism and to instead embrace capitalism, free markets, and individual liberties. 3:30pm Why does Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise follow Matt on social media? Rich and Henry are baffled. 3:40pm- While speaking with CNBC from Davos, Switzerland, JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon implored the Biden campaign team and members of the media to stop “scapegoating” presumed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his supporters. Dimon said of Trump: "Just take a step back and be honest. He was kind of right about NATO. He was kind of right about immigration. He grew the economy quite well. Tax reform worked.

Strobel of The Wall Street Journal writes: “Chinese researchers isolated and mapped the virus that causes Covid-19 in late December 2019, at least two weeks before Beijing revealed details of the deadly virus to the world, congressional investigators said, raising questions anew about what China knew in the pandemic's crucial early days. Documents obtained from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services by a House committee and reviewed by The Wall Street Journal show that a Chinese researcher in Beijing uploaded a nearly complete sequence of the virus's structure to a U.S. government-run database on Dec. 28, 2019. Chinese officials at that time were still publicly describing the disease outbreak in Wuhan, China, as a viral pneumonia “of unknown cause” and had yet to close the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, site of one of the initial Covid-19 outbreaks. China only shared the virus's sequence with the World Health Organization on Jan. 11, 2020, according to U.S. government timelines of the pandemic.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/world/china/chinese-lab-mapped-deadly-coronavirus-two-weeks-before-beijing-told-the-world-documents-show-9bca8865 4:10pm- Katherine Donlevy of The New York Post writes: “In a Wuhan-esque study, Chinese scientists are experimenting with a mutant COVID-19 strain that is 100% lethal to ‘humanized' mice. The deadly virus—known as GX_P2V—attacked the brains of mice that were engineered to reflect genetic makeup similar to people, according to a study shared last week out of Beijing.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2024/01/16/news/covid-19-strain-kills-100-of-infected-mice-in-chinese-lab-study/ 4:30pm- Are you a psychopath?

He writes: “DeSantis had my vote and never seriously threatened to lose it; I didn't even mind when he said or did cringeworthy things on the campaign trail (his answers on Social Security in particular were gagworthy to any honest man); certainly not when the other primary options on offer are Nikki Haley and (no, thanks, ever) Donald Trump. Having laid my cards out on the table like this, however, it's time to turn the tarot over and give the DeSantis campaign its reading: the Death card.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/there-is-no-distance-left-to-run-for-ron-desantis/ 5:40pm- Paul Dans—who served in the Trump Administration as Chief of Staff at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his work as Director of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project at The Heritage Foundation.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes: “No one escapes the climate police these days, and that includes Taylor Swift. The pop star has been criticized recently for emitting CO2 on her frequent trips on a private jet to see her beau Travis Kelce play for the Kansas City Chiefs. But not to worry. A spokesperson for the entertainer says Ms. Swift has been buying carbon offsets.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/taylor-swift-co2-offsets-private-jet-emissions-climate-82bb7d61?mod=opinion_lead_pos1 While participating in a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Vanessa Kerry—daughter of U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry—alleged that the climate crisis is actually a “health crisis.” On Thursday, Congress passed a bill that would extend government funding into March—temporarily avoiding a government shutdown. The legislation passed 77-18 in the Senate and 314-108 in the House of Representatives. In response to the deal, the House Freedom Caucus tweeted: “The House Freedom Caucus strongly opposes the proposed short-term Continuing Resolution extending government funding to March to facilitate the passage of the Johnson-Schumer agreement's appropriations bills. Americans did not give Republicans a majority in the House to continue Nancy Pelosi's inflationary spending and Joe Biden's failed policies. Unfortunately, that's precisely what has been proposed in order to buy time - incredibly - to pass full-year appropriations that increase Pelosi's spending level and likely preserve Biden's policies. This is not what we promised the American people. Instead, Speaker Mike Johnson should walk away from his agreement with Senate Majority Leader Schumer and pass an appropriations package that meaningfully reduces spending year-over-year and secures our southern border. That is what winning looks like. Seven months ago, over the opposition of many conservatives, Congress raised the debt limit by roughly $4 trillion to January 2025 and, in exchange, established modest spending caps. The recent Johnson-Schumer topline agreement uses those "side deals" to spend past the caps by a whopping $69 billion for an unprecedented total of $1.659 trillion—without securing a single commitment on Republican policy priorities. This doesn't preserve the status quo. It makes it worse.” You can find the tweet here: https://twitter.com/freedomcaucus/status/1748077616635007478/photo/1 Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Wednesday, Argentine President Javier Milei told those in attendance “do not surrender” to socialism and to instead embrace capitalism and free markets. He explained, “collectivist experiments are never the solution to the problems that afflict the citizens of the world. Rather, they are the root cause.” Meanwhile, Kevin Roberts, the president of The Heritage Foundation, went nuclear on totalitarian elites at the forum—defending Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump as a protector of individual liberties.

Legal group Empower Oversight released the five court orders Monday after filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for the records related to the DOJ's previously unknown attempts to monitor the communications of staffers conducting oversight of the department.” You can read the full article here: https://dailycaller.com/2023/12/04/doj-blocked-google-informing-congressional-staffers-spied-court-orders/ 3:20pm- During Tuesday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) asked FBI Director Christopher Wray which FBI official made the decision to raid Mar-a-Lago, the home of former President Donald Trump, and retrieve classified documents.

A graphic featured in the commercial encourages voters to cast their ballots on or before December 7th—however, the election is actually taking place on December 9th. 4:30pm- Brandon Drey of The Daily Wire writes: “A federal court on Monday halted the prison sentence for Douglas Mackey, who was convicted earlier this year of election interference for posting memes that mocked Hillary Clinton voters to cast their ballot via text during the 2016 presidential election. Mackey was accused of a ‘scheme to deprive individuals of their constitutional right to vote' after a Twitter account he ran under the handle ‘Ricky Vaughn' posted memes in the lead-up to the election. In October, Judge Ann M. Donnelly of Federal District Court in Brooklyn sentenced Mackey to 7 months in prison, a $15,000 fine, and two years probation.” You can read the full article here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/douglas-mackeys-meme-related-prison-sentence-halted-by-federal-court 4:40pm- During a speech at the 2023 United Nations Conference on Climate Change, U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry said that coal fired power plants should not be permitted to exist anywhere in the world.

Plus, Henry continues to insist that Eyes Wide Shut is a Christmas film. 6:40pm- Ari Blaff of National Review writes: “The Department of Justice is preventing two would-be whistleblowers from testifying in the Biden impeachment investigation, House Republicans claim in a report on the status of their investigation released Tuesday. The 78-page report, issued by the House Judiciary, Ways and Means, and Oversight Committees, accuses the DOJ of stonewalling the congressional investigation into allegations that the Biden administration gave the president's son special treatment while investigating his failure to pax federal income taxes in 2017 and 2018.” You can read the full report here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/doj-blocking-whistleblowers-from-testifying-in-hunter-biden-probe-house-gop-investigators-say/

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: Zach Jewell of The Daily Wire writes: “The Biden administration is pushing countries to ‘accelerate' their climate action and spending $3 billion in taxpayer dollars as a pledge to climate and ‘gender equity' funds, the White House announced Saturday… Buried deep in the White House fact sheet are commitments to advancing ‘gender equity amid climate change,' which include an additional $449 million for new programs such as Global Girls Creating Change, a program that seeks to give 900 girls and young women in 29 different countries ‘professional opportunities in the sustainable economy.'” You can read the full article here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-announces-3-billion-for-green-projects-overseas-including-nearly-500m-for-gender-equity During a speech at the 2023 United Nations Conference on Climate Change, U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry said that coal fired power plants should not be permitted to exist anywhere in the world.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/04/2023): 3:05pm- In her most recent New York Times article, journalist Li Yuan documents that an increasing number of Chinese citizens are fleeing their country and crossing the U.S. Southern border illegally. Yuan writes that “[t]he most harrowing part of their journey was trekking through the brutal jungle in Panama known as the Darién Gap.” Chinese citizens are willing to endure the strenuous migration in order to flee a totalitarian regime willing to torment its citizens. You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/03/business/darien-gap-china-immigration.html 3:15pm- On Monday, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum announced he will suspend his long-shot presidential campaign.

The House voted 311 to 114 in favor of removing him following numerous allegations of lying about his background and a 23-count indictment that includes allegations he “repeatedly, without authorization” charged donor credit cards—depositing funds into his own bank account. Meanwhile, Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) remains a member of the House of Representatives despite pleading guilty to pulling a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building just prior to the House holding its vote on a stopgap spending measure to avoid a government shutdown. As Rich notes, Bowman's only punishment was a modest fine and a written letter of apology. 4:10pm- While appearing on The View, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) reacted to George Santos' expulsion from the House by stating that Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) should also be removed from office. Fetterman explained, “Menendez, I think is really a senator for Egypt. You know, not New Jersey. So, I really think he needs to go.” Menendez has been charged with acting as a foreign agent for Egypt, and with accepting bribes in exchange for influence. 4:15pm- Brandon Drey of The Daily Wire writes, “A subpoena request filed in Congress to grant lawmakers access to the flight logs connected to deceased financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was allegedly blocked last week by Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL). Durbin, who leads the Senate Judiciary Committee, reportedly rejected the request brought forward by Tennessee Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn in early November. She accused Durbin of standing in the way of certifying the request after a contentious committee meeting on Thursday.” You can read the full article here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/sen-blackburn-says-democrat-led-senate-committee-chair-blocked-epstein-flight-logs-subpoena 4:30pm- If Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) were to resign from the U.S. Senate, would Gov. Phil Murphy (D-NJ) replace him with his wife Tammy Murphy?

Shortly before 11 a.m., a 30-year-old man—identified by law enforcement sources as Tyrone Tunnell—attempted to steal some hats from the store at 13th and Market Streets. When security guards confronted Tunnell and retrieved the stolen items, he initially left without incident, said Interim Police Commissioner John Stanford. But about 10 minutes later, Tunnell returned, then approached one of the guards and started stabbing him, Stanford said. When a second security guard attempted to intervene, Stanford said, Tunnell slashed and stabbed that guard as well. One of the men, a 30-year-old who had been stabbed in the neck, died from his injuries at Jefferson Hospital a short time later.” You can read the full article here: https://www.inquirer.com/news/philadelphia/macys-stabbing-philadelphia-center-city-20231204.html 5:50pm- On Monday, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum announced he will suspend his long-shot presidential campaign.

On today's podcast: 1)  Israeli struck outpatient clinics of Al-Shifa Medical complex in Gaza City, Palestine Authority radio reports. The Israeli military has said that Hamas's main military headquarters is located underground near Al-Shifa and has told the hospital to evacuate patients. 2) Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the US central bank will continue to move carefully but won't hesitate to tighten policy further if needed to contain inflation. 3) West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin announced Thursday he won't seek reelection, a blow to Democrats' prospects for keeping the Senate majority in 2025. 4) Industrial & Commercial Bank of China's US unit had been hit by a cyberattack, rendering it unable to clear swathes of US Treasury trades after entities responsible for settling the transactions swiftly disconnected from the stricken systems. That forced ICBC to send the required settlement details to those parties by a messenger carrying a thumb drive as the state-owned lender raced to limit the damage. 5) Chicago Bears take down the Carolina Panthers in Thursday Night Football Full transcript: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. Karen, the latest on the Israel Hamas war. Israel says it's struck back at an organization from Syria. The target at a school in the southern city of Ailat with a drone. Meanwhile, the White House is confirmed Israel's agreed to four hour daily humanitarian pauses in northern Gaza to allow civilians to flee, but Mark Regev, who advises Israel's Prime Minister, says it's not a ceasefire. We will continue this operation until we have destroyed Harmasa's military machine. The idea of a humanitarian pause is in a specific place, for a specific time, to help the civilian population who are not the target of our operation on the country. We want to see the move out of Hamsway. That was Benjamin Natanyahu advisor Mark Regev meantime. A short time ago, Palesidine Authority Radio reported that Israel's forces struck outpatient clinics of a medical complex in Gaza City. Israel's military says the main military headquarters of Hamas are located underground near that hospital, and had they told the hospital to evacuate patients, well, Nathan, we turn now to news that still making waves in Washington. A Democrat, Joe Mansion of West Virginia, stepping away from Capitol Hill. I will not be running for re election to the United States Senate, but what I will be doing is traveling the country and speaking out to see if there is an interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle and bring Americans together. Senator Manchin is an honorary original honorary co share of No Labels, the centrist group that's now working on a possible third party presidential campaign. Bloomberg's Wendy Benjamin Sin has more from Washington. If he does go for an independent or third party run, that's going to make it very, very difficult, because the people who feel that Biden may have gone too far to the left, or is too old, or all the other things are looking at this guy a true old soele conservative Democrat. Bloomberg's Wendy Benjamin Sin notes mansion still has eleven point three million dollars in a Senate reelection campaign that he could use in a presidential run. Well, politics has Washington's focus. Karen Summer, President Biden's cabinet have headed West Finance. Leaders of the US and China have begun talks setting the groundwork for the Biden she meeting next week at the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit. Bloomberg's Ed Baxter has the story from San Francisco. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen meets again today here in San Francisco with Chinese Vice Premier Hu LaFong. She is saying the US has no design to break economic ties with China, but these two day meetings are aimed at making progress on a slew of economic issues before the heads of state sit down. China's main concerns in the supply chains in high tech, the US focusing on fair competition in tech, as well as freedoms and the issue of Taiwan. In San Francisco, I'm at Baxter Bloomberg Radio. All right, ed, thanks, So we turned to the markets now, and stocks are coming off their first drop in eight sessions. That declines came after FED Chair J Powell warrant interest rates may have to climb further. If it becomes appropriate to tighten policy further, we will not hesitate to do so. We will continue to move carefully, however, allowing us to address both the risk of being misled by a few good months of data and the risk of overtightening. On the same day Powell spoke, Richmond FED President Thomas Barkin said the US economy still has not felt the full effect of past interest rate increases. I think there's more lag to come from hikes. I'm not sure that you know that's everybody's view, but that's that's certainly my view. I also believe that there's inflation is going to take longer to settle than the more optimistic forecast that you might see. And the economy is also in focus in Europe. The UK economy flatlined in the third quarter, defying forecasts of a small contraction and ensuring a recession is avoided this year. GDP was unchanged from q two. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg forecast a tenth of one percent decline on average. Well. In other news this morning, Nathan the world's largest bank, has been hit by a cyber attack. The incident caused the US unit of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to reroot some treasury trades and may get more from Bloomberg's reshound Salamad in Hong Kong. The hack forced clients to reroot transactions. A large number of trades in US treasuries were prevented from being cleared. It left brokers and traders scrambling to US as the extent of the impact of the cyber attack. There are reports of liquidity being affected, and speculation continues to mount that the issues were a cattle for a very poor oaction of thirty year bonds. So to say, ICBC allerted clients that trading was being impacted. ICBC as seti hight cybersecurity for a mandant and has been offered assistance from the FBI in Hong Kong. I'm Rishard Salomit Bloomberg Radio Oka, rish thank you staying in Asia. The final day of the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore has wrapped up. Climate change was a major focus. We caught up with US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry. People are well aware of how critical the situation is. Mother Nature has been sending us massive messages in the last years. We know we have to reduce the emissions. We know that the costs of not doing so will be much greater than the cost of doing so. And Special Climate Envoy John Kerrey praise the Inflation Reduction Act for attracting green investment to help fight climate change. Well, Nathan, let's check out some stocks on the move this morning. Shares a Biagio down more than eleven percent, the maker of Johnny Walker and Smeirnov Vodka issuing a profit warning because of a steep slowdown in Latin America.

Officials are calling it domestic terrorism. They're only seven days until the government could face yet another shutdown. More in that story from Washington and Bloomberg. Steve Potis Congress needs to approve a budget that would keep the government funded through the rest of the year, but there are already some divisions among Republicans as to how that may happen. Democrats also say they wouldn't accept certain cuts to social programs, and the White House says that some of the bills Republicans are proposing would cut funds to law enforcement. White House Deputy Press Secretary Olivia Dalton says the time is running out and House Republicans should stop playing political games and follow the lead of the Senate by getting to work on bipartisan bills. Steve Potisk Bloomberg Radio. President Biden was in the Illinois Thursday congratulating union auto workers taking a victory lap after they won a new contract. The President reminding those workers he joined them on the picket line, and Donald Trump did not. I stood and other stood with his shoulder and shoulder on that picket line.

Mister Biden was the first president in history to join workers on the picket line. The nation's first openly gay governor, looking to re enter politics nearly twenty years after he left former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevy, announcing Thursday he'll seek the mayor's office in Jersey City in twenty twenty five.

This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. We want to get you caught up now on the war in the Middle East. We've seen more strikes into Syria as Israel continues its advances on Hamas in Gaza, and Israel's military now says it has agreed to quick humanitarian windows to allow people to flee the fighting in northern Gaza. For the very latest, we are joined now from Tel Aviv by Bloomberg News Economy and Government reporter for Israel, Kalie alstein Ghalid. Thanks for being with us. As always, I want to start off with this latest report that we're hearing, I think from Palestine Authority Radio about Israeli strikes on an out patient clinic in Gaza City. What more do we know? All right? Hi, Good morning, Nathan, so on the ground in Gaza Israeli army, as we know, has been operating at the heart of Kaza City over the past several days, and now we have been hearing more and more reports from the Palestinian side that some of these Israeli forces are approaching hospitals. So, as you mentioned, we heard the report from the Palestinian Authority radio that says that dozens were killed and wounded from an Israeli strike on outpatient clinics at Al Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City. And we also hear Hamas saying that there are Israeli tanks in the vicinity of three different hospitals in northern Gaza, and these are different hospitals, Alvan Tisci, Al Nassel and Al Ajun Hospital, and the director of one of these hospitals, the Children's Hospital, issues a comment saying we've been surrounded in the hospital since yesterday and IDF vehicles are stationed around the hospital. We cannot provide even the slightest medical services, so that's what this hospital director is saying. Now, all these statements have not yet been confirmed by the IDEF, but I think we can probably definitely not probably expect more to come on that. But the Israeli military has said made some comments about potential targets in that area. What is the Israeli military saying about that? So, the Israeli military has been saying for a while that Hamas command centers are positioned underground beneath some of these hospitals. They've mainly focused on Al Shifa Hospital, and they've also presented some evidence the idea that they said was back by the US and the UK intelligence agencies. They've shown evidence that command centers of Kama's opposition beneath Al Shifa Hospital, and they say this is not the only hospital where this is happening. So that is why we are getting these reports of army, Israeli army forces surrounding these hospitals probably and this is coming after Israel's military confirmed US reports that there was an agreement on humanitarian windows in the fighting. What more do we know about that? Right? So, I think we're basically seeing a similar dynamic over the last couple of days with Israel providing humanitarian windows to allow people to flee in northern Gaza, and the IDF estimates that between fifty to one hundred thousand people have exited northern Gaza, over the last few days, with the total of almost some nine hundred thousand leaving the area since fighting began. And this is an area that usually occupies more than a million people, so that would mean that most people, according to the Ideas have left. At the same time as these people moved to the safe zones in the south of Gaza, we still see a modest number of eight trucks, that's how the UN describes it coming in from Egypt sixty five days. Trucks came in yesterday and the need is for at least one hundred trucks some day. That's what the UN said. And I think another interesting point to mention Nathan on what's coming and how long this fighting will take. We hear something on that from Israeli Prime Minister Benjaminitaniao who gives them an interview to Fox News tonight, and he says, well, it has taken a little longer than I had hoped, and he explained that this is taking longer on account of battle conditions on the ground and the safety of Ideas troops that Israel is obviously concerned with, and also getting out the hostages that they're in there. And he does admit that this is affecting the time that this operation is taking and just quickly about last thirty seconds scale. Does this say anything these comments from Nats on Yahoo about the impact that diplomacy has had on the Israeli side, Well, you know, Nathaniel denies that that Israel's agreed to any kind of ceasefire, so that hasn't been agreed upon yet. He also talks about these humanitarian fathers and he does give us a hint on the very interesting question of what will happen in the day after, and this is also associated with diplomatic talks, and he says that we'll have to find a government, the civilian government that will be there, but in the foreseeable future, we will have to make sure that this doesn't happen again. He is referring to the ectoty seven attacks. So we have to have a credible force that, if necessary, will enter godt the killers. That's from what he calls you, Homas Wilson.

Senior officials and observers from around the world have been impressed by China's enterprising diplomatic efforts in recent months in engaging wealthy nations as well as the most vulnerable countries in tackling the increasingly challenging global problem of climate change.The climate-themed diplomacy, led by President Xi Jinping, illustrates the evolving Chinese solution and the fair, responsible approach sought by Beijing for dealing with the growing deficit of global governance, they said.With July having been the hottest month ever recorded, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on July 27 that "the level of fossil fuel profits and climate inaction is unacceptable", and "leaders must lead" with dramatic, immediate climate action to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5 C above preindustrial levels.At bilateral meetings with visiting foreign leaders and at some major international events last month, Xi said that China understands the severe challenges facing vulnerable nations such as Pacific Island countries, and he vowed further action to ensure that global unity and efforts focusing on climate change do not lose steam.Speaking with Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare on July 10, Xi said that China "stands ready to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with island countries in meteorological services, disaster prevention and reduction, clean energy and other fields".In a meeting on July 28 with Mohamed Irfaan Ali, president of the Caribbean country of Guyana, Xi also touched on dealing with climate change.Xi called on countries to "join hands to tackle global challenges such as climate change", when delivering a toast at the welcoming banquet of the opening ceremony of the ongoing Chengdu FISU World University Games.In addition, the past month witnessed senior Chinese officials' dialogues with dignitaries of leading economies and major sources of carbon emissions in the world — such as the United States and the European Union, observers noted.In July, US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry visited China.Premier Li Qiang told Kerry that all parties should "abide by the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities in addressing climate change", developed countries should take the lead in reducing emissions and fulfill their financial commitments, and developing countries should make contributions within their capacity.Also in Beijing, Vice-Premier Ding Xuexiang and European Commission Executive Vice-President Frans Timmermans co-chaired the fourth EU-China High-Level Dialogue on Environment and Climate on July 4 and reached extensive common understandings.The dialogue with the EU "sent a positive signal of China and the EU working together on climate change, biodiversity loss and other global challenges", said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning.Leila Benali, Morocco's minister of energy transition and sustainable development, said China has rich experience and achievements in energy transformation and sustainable development.Morocco looks forward to deepening exchanges and cooperation with China in relevant fields and jointly taking the road of green, low-carbon and sustainable development, she told Chinese Ambassador to Morocco Li Changlin last month.Wang Wen, executive dean of Renmin University of China's Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, said China's climate change-oriented green economy is developing at a rapid speed and "China is one of the few major countries that are faithfully committed to realizing the Paris Agreement on climate change"."For example, China's total output of hydropower accounts for 29 percent of the global total output. And over the past few years, there has been growing awareness among the Chinese public about the great significance and implication of tackling climate change and seeking green development," he said.Chinese diplomats have continued reaching out to foreign parties to advance the bilateral and multilateral agenda on tackling climate change.On Friday, Foreign Minister Wang Yi told United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan by phone that Beijing supports Dubai in hosting the 28th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, or COP 28, and is willing to strengthen strategic cooperation with the UAE in the international arena.Projects and cooperative programs for energy saving and improving the climate have played a key part in major visions proposed by Beijing, including the Belt and Road Initiative and the Global Development Initiative, and have drawn widespread acclaim from countries around the globe, observers noted.Wang Yiwei, a professor at Renmin University of China's School of International Studies and director of the university's Institute of International Affairs, said the China-proposed programs "possess both high standards and great feasibility", helping introduce environmentally friendly projects to developing countries such as Kenya.Furthermore, "by technological upgrade and renovation, Chinese investors transformed some steel factories in Europe to make sure they meet standards of both the EU and China, while securing jobs for local workers and furthering tax contribution to local authorities", he said.It is no wonder that over 150 countries have actively subscribed to the BRI, including the projects seeking green transformation, he added.Reporter: Zhang YunbiDiplomacy英 /dɪ'pləʊməsɪ/美 /dɪ'ploməsi/n. 外交Climate英 /ˈklaɪmət/美 /ˈklaɪmət/n. 气候

President Xi Jinping has reiterated the need to follow the principles of "mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation" in dealing with relations between China and the United States, saying that Beijing is willing to work with Washington to explore the right way for both countries to coexist based on such principles.Xi made the remarks in a meeting with former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger in Beijing on Thursday.Kissinger, who celebrated his 100th birthday in May, has visited China more than 100 times since his first, secret trip to the country in 1971, which began the normalization of China-US relations.His visit came with expectations of a potential shift in the strained China-US relationship amid a series of high-level official engagements between the two countries. US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry concluded his visit to China on Wednesday. In recent weeks, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made his first trip to China in his current capacity, followed by US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.During the meeting, Xi said that 52 years ago, China and the US were at a crucial juncture. At that time, Chairman Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou Enlai, as well as then US president Richard Nixon and Kissinger himself, with their extraordinary strategic vision, made the right decision for China-US cooperation, he said."It was also in July in the same place — Villa No 5 of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse — that you and Premier Zhou Enlai had a meeting, starting the normalization process of the two countries' relations," Xi said, adding that the 1971 meeting was of far-reaching historic significance."The Chinese people value friendship, and they never forget their old friend, nor your historic contributions to promoting the growth of China-US relations and enhancing friendship between the two peoples," Xi said.Noting that the world is undergoing major changes unseen in a century and that the international landscape is experiencing significant shifts, the president said, "China and the US have once again come to a crossroads, which requires another decision by the two sides about where to go from here."China and the US can help each other succeed and prosper together, Xi said, and "the key is to follow the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation".Based on these principles, the Chinese side is willing to explore the right way for both countries to coexist and push forward steady progress in China-US relations, he said, adding that this will benefit both sides and the entire world."It is hoped that you and wise individuals in the United States will continue to play a constructive role in steering China-US relations back onto the right track," Xi said.Kissinger, expressing appreciation to Xi for meeting with him at the historic Villa No 5 venue, said, "The relationship between our two countries is crucial to world peace and the progress of our societies."In the current situation, Kissinger said, it is important to abide by the principles set out in the Shanghai Communique and understand the utmost importance of the one-China principle for China.The Shanghai Communique was an important diplomatic document jointly issued by China and the US on Feb 28, 1972, during Nixon's visit to China. The document, together with two other joint communiques released by the two countries in December 1978 and August 1982, is considered to be the political foundation of China-US relations.Su Xiaohui, deputy director and associate research fellow of the Department for American Studies at the China Institute of International Studies, said that Kissinger's secret visit to China in 1971 was an unforgettable, crucial moment in the development of China-US relations.Currently, the China-US relationship is going through a difficult phase — perhaps at its lowest point in history, Su said, and it is important for the US to apply the same diplomatic wisdom as Kissinger to make progress in improving bilateral ties.If the US would adopt a more constructive approach, it would be possible to stabilize the China-US relationship, she added.Reporter: Cao Desheng

In his famous 2004 essay, Stanford Economist Dr. Thomas Sowell writes: “Price controls will not cause new supplies to be rushed in nearly as fast as higher prices will.” Momentary increases in prices will encourage producers, and entrepreneurs in neighboring areas, to rush supplies to the impacted area. You can read Dr. Sowell's essay here: https://www.capitalismmagazine.com/2004/09/price-gouging-in-florida/ 4:05pm- Will abandoning free market principles result in a more egalitarian distribution of a scarce resource? No—it simply devolves into a “first-come-first-served” scenario. Contrarily, modest increases in prices during an emergency result in profit-seeking manufacturers and individuals to rush products to the impacted area. 4:15pm- With wind turbines estimated to be a $31.2 billion industry, no wonder government officials are disinterested in halting construction on a project that may have caused the deaths of over a dozen whales and at least one pod of dolphins along New Jersey beaches. 4:20pm- During his Senate confirmation hearing to become the next head of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Phil Washington was unable to answer any of Senator Ted Budd's (R-NC) basic aviation questions.

It is fully within our power to guarantee a healthy ocean and protect it for the future, says Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry in today's episode of the New Security Broadcast. Kerry spoke at a recent Wilson Center event hosted in partnership with the Embassy of Panama to spotlight the 8th Our Oceans Conference, scheduled to take place in March in Panama. In his remarks, Kerry emphasized the vital role the ocean plays in supporting global food security and economic prosperity as well as the imperative to take action to protect the ocean from climate change.  Select Quotes:  "[The ocean has] played a huge, central role in the lives of people all around the planet, many of whom are part of the 500-billion-dollar industry that depends on the ocean for food production, for protein, for life itself…but the fact is that ninety percent of all the heating of the planet from global climate change is subsumed into the ocean and the ocean is warming."  "In our country the link between climate and oceans is becoming indelibly imprinted in people's minds. You cannot solve the problem of the oceans—i.e., bad emissions dropping into the ocean and changing the chemistry of the ocean—you can't change that if you don't deal with the climate crisis." "The United States has announced three new bilateral work streams to facilitate green shipping corridors within the Republic of Korea Canada and the United Kingdom. If shipping were a nation state it would be the eighth largest emitter on the planet so we have an imperative to move. I'm really proud to say that it was at the Our Oceans Conferences that we first started focusing in on shipping practices, and now as a result of that we are seeing the largest container shippers in the world 65 percent of the new ships ordered are ordered with dual fuel propulsion systems and over a hundred ships have been ordered that are now going to be zero emissions. That came out of the oceans conference."

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:  The World Economic Forum Conference—an international non-governmental lobbying organization—kicked off its annual summit in Davos, Switzerland on Monday. Several American lawmakers will be in attendance, including Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), and U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry. During the World Economic Forum (WEF), Vice President of the European Commission Vera Jourova suggested that the United States should criminalize “hate speech.” Meanwhile, climate and health researcher Alan Dangour stated that there was a link between global warming and the mental health crisis plaguing Western society. What is the goal of the World Economic Forum (WEF)? Environmentalism, economic equity, and seemingly a dangerous form of globalization that usurps national sovereignty. Investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger discovered a now deleted video from 2018 where the WEF attempted to predict what the world will look like in 2030. Among the predictions: “You'll own nothing. And you'll be happy.” They also predicted “[t]he U.S. won't be the world's leading superpower.” While speaking with Brian Stelter at the World Economic Forum, Chairman of the New York Times A.G. Sulzberger called disinformation the greatest challenge facing society. He went on to compare Donald Trump's utilization of the term “fake news” to terminology used in Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia. 

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/17/2023):  3:00pm- According to journalist Daniel Chaitin of The Daily Wire, Douglas Wise, “[o]ne of the 51 intelligence veterans who signed a letter suggesting the Hunter Biden laptop story could be part of a Russian disinformation operation said [he] knew the contents of the device were genuine at the time.” 3:20pm- During her Tuesday press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre denied reporter accusations that she had not been “forthcoming” about information regarding President Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents.

“Things that we used to think were 20 or 30 years into the future are in fact happening today…  Climate change is noticeably changing the extent, the severity, and the frequency of these kinds of events.” This stark assessment from Jonathan Pershing, Program Director of Environment at the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, is at the center of a discussion of progress made and needed for international climate commitments, the role of critical minerals in the green energy transition, and climate-related migration trends with ECSP Senior Fellow Sherri Goodman and ECSP Program Associate Amanda King in this week's episode of New Security Broadcast. Pershing brings a wealth of perspective to the conversation, drawing on his roles formally supporting Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry, and serving both as a Special Envoy for Climate Change at the U.S. Department of State and lead U.S. negotiator to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change.   As the world is currently tuning in to the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, Pershing noted that the year since COP 26 occurred in Glasgow “really feels like a bit of a tipping point in the scale.” One notable yardstick can be found in a comparison of the scales of global security dimensions and refugee crises occurring over the past year. While about 5 million people have been displaced by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and under 10 million compelled to move because of the ongoing conflict in Syria, he continued, climate catastrophe has displaced nearly 30 million people in Pakistan alone.  “One event, short term,” Pershing said. Against this backdrop, Pershing observed that a key problem facing COP27 attendees is that “people have not been able to make as much progress as we'd like to have made.” Implementation is going to be hard, he said. “We know we've got the money now at the table, but how do you carry it forward?” A central point of contention at this year's conference is the long-standing commitment that the developed world would help the developing world transition to renewables. Pershing identified China as a major player in the global transition to renewable energy. “If we look at the total global development of renewable energy,” he said, “and divide up the world into two parts—one part is China.” Indeed, China's slice of that pie “is as big if not bigger than the rest of the world combined in terms of its installation of new renewable capacity.”  Pershing considered that the world is not up to the scale needed for the coming decades in terms of obtaining the materials necessary for this energy transition. In examining the U.S. role in the renewable energy transition, for example, he noted that the U.S. has been historically reluctant to create the new facilities required for the essential minerals to make such a transition. Pershing also said that while the U.S. has a share in global mines, it is only a piece of the total amount. If the U.S. wants to build out its capacity for these resources, it will take a global network.  While the energy transition and mining for critical minerals can be a point of conflict, Pershing added that it may also be a possible point of cooperation between the U.S. and China. But what would such partnership look like? “It could occur in places where it doesn't conflict with the underlying security tensions between the countries,” Pershing said, “but yet offers a real opportunity to transition to the future that we must have.” This common ground might include places where policy is central, and where information could be exchanged about creating more efficient and environmentally-sound mining operations. The Democratic Republic of Congo is one place suggested by Pershing as a nation offering the U.S. and China a chance to work together to minimize deforestation as global networks seek growing access to minerals.  Pershing concluded by offering the Global Methane Pledge as an example of the significant movement on climate change that might be realized via international climate commitments. Of the many flavors of greenhouse gases contributing to climate change, the dominant challenge is carbon dioxide, but the second most prominent contributor is methane. Yet for much of the history of climate negotiations, the dynamics of methane were underplayed. Pershing pointed to the hope offered by the growing number of countries joining the Global Methane Pledge, and pushing to realize the many near-term preventative measures that can be accomplished if the world works on reducing methane emissions. The pledge itself, he said, “could be the kind of model that helps shape some of the answers, not just to methane, but to carbon dioxide, and the other greenhouse gases.”  Sources: Global Methane Pledge

The Inflation Reduction Act has been aptly labeled a “climate bill,” but in many ways it's an “American competitiveness bill.”Building and deploying clean energy technology within the U.S. is a major focus of the $450 billion spending package, with the potential for exporting those solutions around the globe. This new investment comes amid concerns that the US has been falling behind other nations (most notably China) in global energy innovation race.On this episode of Political Climate, we discuss how the Inflation Reduction Act — signed into law this week by President Biden — is poised to change the U.S. innovation landscape. With new support for laboratory research and real world project demonstrations, building out supply chains and more, we may be entering a new era for American competitiveness.Varun Sivaram, senior advisor to U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry and his managing director for clean energy, innovation, and competitiveness joins the podcast, as well as Nick Montoni, senior innovation policy advisor for the Climate and Energy Program at Third Way."Arsenal of Clean Energy" is made possible by Third Way, a center-left think tank championing modern solutions to the most challenging problems in US policy, including the economy, national security and climate change.

Join Jim and Greg as they cover the rapid collapse of the Russian economy in the face of sanctions from the West. Due to the severity and rapid success of these sanctions, they also wonder if elongating them may provoke animosity toward the West within the Russian people. And despite the obvious benefits of American energy independence, White House officials like Press Secretary Jen Psaki and Special Envoy for Climate John Kerry continue to peddle "green energy".Please visit our great sponsors:XChairhttps://xchairmartini.comSave up to $100 today only!My Pillowhttps://www.mypillow.comGet Mike's book FREE when you use code MARTINI in the Radio Listeners Specials box.

Last November, the international community concluded its 26th United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland. Reviews were mixed. Among its successes, COP26 concluded the Paris “rulebook,” adopted a consensus decision on next steps, and produced a series of multilateral commitments on limiting methane emissions and deforestation, strengthening climate finance, and more. A surprise joint declaration between the United States and China offered hope that the world's two largest economies and carbon emitters can still work together. At the same time, despite substantial progress since adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015, the world remains off track to limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.  Key countries have not yet aligned their “nationally determined contributions” with the Paris Agreement's temperature goal. How should the world view COP26? Is progress being made, or are countries avoiding the tough choices? How essential is the United States? And where do international climate negotiations go from here? On February 1, EPIC hosted Sue Biniaz, Deputy to Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry, who played a critical role in both the forming of the Paris Agreement and in the latest talks. Biniaz talked with EPIC journalism fellow and The New York Times climate reporter Lisa Friedman, who was in Glasgow covering the conference. They discussed the successes, setbacks and steps forward. https://epic.uchicago.edu/events/event/an-insiders-look-at-cop26-successes-setbacks-and-the-future-of-international-climate-diplomacy/

How is climate finance reshaping COP negotiations? Listen to Jason Mitchell discuss with Leonardo Martinez-Diaz, Senior Director for Climate Finance to US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry, the most consequential outcomes of COP26; how to think about US domestic political dynamics around climate change; and why the financial sector is fundamental in the transition to a net zero global economy. Leonardo was previously the global director of the Sustainable Finance Center at the World Resources Institute, where he led a team working to promote the flow of public and private finance to environmentally-sustainable activities, including climate adaptation and mitigation. During the Obama Administration, he served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy and Environment in the U.S. Department of the Treasury, as well as Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Western Hemisphere. Prior to that, he served as Director of the Office of Policy at the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Can America lead an effective global response to the climate change emergency? At last month's COP26 summit in Glasgow the chorus of concern from world leaders was deafening, but the really tough decisions on deeper emissions cuts to reduce global warming were put off until next year. Stephen Sackur speaks to the US Special Envoy for Climate John Kerry. His mission is to restore American leadership on the biggest existential challenge facing our planet. But is that mission impossible? (Photo: John Kerry in the Hardtalk studio)

This week we unpack two very different challenges facing global leaders: the climate crisis and domestic violence. First, U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry joins host Stephanie Flanders to share why he thinks the Glasgow Climate Pact is more than just words on paper. Among other achievements, Kerry notes that countries representing most of the world's gross domestic product agreed to cut methane emissions by 30% this decade. Such cuts to this dangerous greenhouse gas (if they actually happen) would be a worthy accomplishment, even if rich nations have yet to fulfill a pledge to steer $100 billion a year to poorer nations facing the brunt of climate change. As countries try to cut carbon, whether by a tax on emissions or other measures, leaders can limit the effects on inflation by adopting the measures sooner rather than later—when more drastic measures may be needed, Bloomberg's senior Euro-area economist Maeva Cousin says. Finally, Frankfurt-based economics reporter Carolynn Look shares the harrowing story of a German woman who escaped a violent partner and how some European companies are stepping forward to fight domestic abuse. They have a financial imperative as well as a moral one: gender-based violence is estimated by the European Institute for Gender Equality to cost the European Union economy 366 billion euros ($409 billion) a year.

Kerry: Protecting Planet ‘First and Foremost' in Dealings with China, Not Human Rights, Life Is ‘Full of Tough Choices' During an interview with Bloomberg on Wednesday, Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry responded to a question on how the U.S. trades off human rights concerns with concerns about climate change with China by stating that “life is always full of tough choices” and “first and foremost, this planet must be protected.” Host David Westin asked, “Another issue related to China is the importing of solar panels. Because, clearly, a priority of the Biden administration is really addressing climate. But it's not the only priority. There are other things as well, such as the Uyghur situation in the west. What is the process by which one trades off climate against human rights?” Stephen Colbert mocked over 'embarrassing' vaccine dance.

By Evan Barnard The concept of climate security is decades-old, but a new sense of urgency and a renewed interest in the concept have developed over recent years, not least due to the efforts of CSR's Center for Climate and Security. Climate change initially became a formal security focus for the U.S. after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, when military efforts began diverting from the nuclear arms race and standoff. Now, the field is rapidly developing and receiving greater attention. The inclusion of a climate security session at the recent U.S.-hosted Leaders Summit on Climate suggests that world leaders are considering climate change a security risk in major diplomatic contexts. The Leaders Summit on Climate was just one of this year's numerous high-level meetings emphasizing climate security, including the Munich Security Conference, a UN Security Council high-level debate on climate and security, and the widely-anticipated COP26 conference in November. Today, we are sharing the first in a series of three podcasts reflecting on the upcoming 2021 World Climate and Security Report from the Expert Group of the International Military Council on Climate and Security, which builds upon the group's 2020 World Climate and Security Report, which was released at that year's Munich Security Conference. The report provides an update on the status of global and regional climate security factors, and details what climate experts predict will be the most important aspects of climate security. Before the Leaders Summit on Climate, I discussed climate security priorities for the military and climate diplomacy with the Honorable Sherri Goodman. Ms. Goodman is a senior strategist and advisory board member at the Center for Climate and Security, chair of the board at the Council on Strategic Risks, secretary general of the International Military Council on Climate and Security, and senior fellow at the Wilson Center. At the inception of the field of climate security, she served as the first deputy undersecretary of defense for environmental security from 1993 to 2001. The discussion included why the Department of Defense must cement a reputation as an environmental and clean energy leader and how the military is already taking steps toward resilience. Ms. Goodman believes the security sector will have an important role in the global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change. The military industrial complex has an enormous carbon footprint, so the military should lead by example in emissions reduction and clean energy adoption. Militaries can make much greater progress toward these goals by working cooperatively. Most importantly, innovation will enable the military to develop and implement clean energy and other technologies, further leading by example and building a climate domain awareness. Given the social, economic, political, and national security implications of accelerating climate change, the time to take action and mitigate and adapt for climate resilience is now. Ms. Goodman suggests an integrated, societal approach like the “Three Ds:” development, diplomacy, and defense. Solutions must be locally-based, because there is no one-size-fits-all solution to conflicts with climate as a factor. In a 2007 CNA Military Advisory Report, Ms. Goodman coined the term “threat multiplier.” The term was used multiple times, including by Special Envoy for Climate John Kerry, during the Leaders Summit on Climate in terms of security risks. The term describes how climate change aggravates existing threats around the world. Modern examples include the melting Arctic Ocean, where a smaller, thinner icecap is translating to both economic and national security opportunities for Arctic nations like the U.S. and Russia as well as interested traders like China. These Arctic economic and military opportunities are sculpting a new geostrategic and geopolitical arena.

David J. Harris, Jr., author and fellow at the Standing for Freedom Center, explains why he was banned from flying American Airlines over a brief incident where he wasn't wearing a mask on a plane and compares it to President Biden's Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry being allowed to not wear a mask on an American Airlines flight.

“The more the United States can get itself back on track, the better position it is in to exercise climate leadership,” says Sue Biniaz, a member of Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry’s team, in today’s Friday Podcast. Biniaz spoke about the Biden-Harris administration’s international climate policy at a recent Wilson Center event on climate security risks in the Arctic. In her remarks, Biniaz outlined four overarching themes in President Biden’s January 27th Executive Order: renewing the United States’ climate objectives; exercising U.S. climate leadership; raising global climate ambition; and putting climate at the center of U.S. foreign policy and national security. Rejoining the Paris Agreement and re-upping the nationally determined contributions (NDCs)—national climate action plans where parties to the Paris Agreement are set to maintain national emission targets and implement policies and measures in response to climate change—are “key elements” towards getting the United States back on track for climate action. But it’s also about raising ambition. After the Paris Agreement’s focus on keeping temperature rise below 2ºC, the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5ºC made clear the need to increase the scale and speed of climate action, says Biniaz. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no conference of the parties (COP) and countries didn’t revisit their NDCs in 2020 as planned. This creates added pressure, but also opportunity for 2021, says Biniaz, because determining a new collective temperature goal, a timeline for achieving net zero emissions, and increasing 2030 emission targets will be addressed and dealt with. To exercise U.S. climate leadership, says Biniaz, the Biden administration is “making climate change a priority and integrating it into both bilateral diplomacy and a wide range of international fora.” This includes reconvening the Major Economies Forum—a meeting of countries that represent about 80 percent of global emissions, population, and GDP—and holding a Leaders’ Climate Summit held on Earth Day, April 22, 2021. The appointment of John Kerry as the first-ever special presidential envoy for climate is another demonstration of U.S. leadership. “Our whole team has been actively involved in climate diplomacy in the last several weeks, both to align on goals and to try to raise ambition particularly among the major economies.” Kerry has been pressing countries, at least the major economies, to commit to net zero emissions no later than 2050 and to “not only to commit to the goal but to say here's how we intend to get there.” In her September 2020 contribution to a Wilson Center and adelphi project, 21st Century Diplomacy: Foreign Policy is Climate Policy, Biniaz wrote, “Climate change has too many sources, on the one hand, and implications, on the other, to be either ignored or treated as a niche issue with little or no bearing on other fields.” “The Executive Order makes very clear,” Biniaz says, “climate change is at the center of foreign policy and national security.”
