In this episode of 'Taking the Edge off the Middle East,' Brian Katulis sits down with Frank Lowenstein, a key advisor to Secretary John Kerry during the Obama administration. Lowenstein takes us behind the curtain of the Obama administration's intense peace negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians, from narrowly escaping a snowstorm in Ramallah to advising Secretary Kerry during critical moments. They discuss the Biden and Trump approaches to the region and explore how Middle East policy debates have evolved in American politics over three decades.

When Tom Steyer and Katie Hall came together in 2021 to bring Galvanize Climate Solutions to the world, it promised to be something rather unique. They both bring decades of experience managing many billions of dollars, incredible networks, and insights to find the best, most impactful investment opportunities for climate. Recently, Secretary John Kerry joined Galvanize as a Co-Chair, adding perhaps unparalleled international expertise to their team. The firm prioritizes not just financial returns for their investors, but also real climate impact. I was thrilled to sit down with Galvanize Chief Impact Officer Nicole Systrom to learn about how such an all-star team thinks about the impact they create. We spoke about Nicole's background, the three different asset classes Galvanize invests in, three different levels of impact they consider before and after their investments are made, the impact of the election on their work, and much more. I learned a lot and am certainly glad Galvanize is doing the work it's doing. Enjoy.

Climate Change Conference, how to hold onto current gains that support the health of the environment, and why the upcoming election is so important to the future of climate action. Then, Dani speaks with Dr. Cary Fowler, Special Envoy for Global Food Security at the U.S. Department of State, as part of an event hosted by Food Tank and the World Food Program USA.

MVC&R do not want Kenosha to burn down, but it sure seems like Good Morning America does. Iranian-backed extremists stormed the U.S. embassy in Yemen, taking hostages and seizing equipment. Four Ohio parents won school board seats campaigning against CRT and mask mandates, and now Seattle is so dangerous the county is having to escort workers. Dr. Jill Biden is saying the vaccine is your choice, so you should choose not to kill your kids. Senator Ted Cruz crushed Secretary John Kerry's despicable response to slave labor, and the newest controversy is the Rittenhouse judge's joke about the supply chain. Wendy Rittenhouse is claiming President Biden defamed her son, and the manhunt for New York's Central Park rape suspect continues. A professor is calling for the normalization of “minor-attracted-persons”, and Jacob Blake's uncle displayed his brilliance on the Today Show. Since they're in San Antonio, the boys will be going to Sea World, and Scott will finally fulfill his dream of hugging a dolphin. Also, The Friday Five will be keeping with the Texas theme -- Best Texas Bands/Artists.

The Boys are thankful to all the veterans for their service to our country, and their contribution to the preservation of freedom. Americans are not enjoying the higher gas prices, and President Joe Biden asked if we ever thought gas prices would be so high. The prosecutor in Kenosha wanted to know why Kyle Rittenhouse wanted to put out a fire, and Vice President Kamala Harris is incapable of keeping it together for even one second. Secretary John Kerry isn't interested in addressing slave labor, being that his department deals with the environment. The media have hyperventilated over Aaron Rodgers, but they have completely ignored Henry Ruggs' crash. The Biden administration has been flying illegal immigrants to Florida, so Governor DeSantis has a plan to transport said illegals to Delaware. Chris Hayes frets about people “solving problems with street violence”, and BLM straight up threatens riots if the New York City mayor does something they don't like.

President Biden’s Leaders Summit on Climate, which brought together forty world leaders to galvanize efforts by the major economies around the world to tackle climate change, ended on Friday with the United States pledging to reduce its carbon emissions by at least half by 2030, along with pledges from many other countries to reduce emissions as well. Even with the Biden administration’s unequivocal message to the world that America is back when it comes to global climate leadership, numerous challenges lie ahead--from the thorny US-China relationship, to the limits of Biden’s own ability to drive emissions cuts at home with a deeply divided Congress. That’s the difficult task facing Secretary John Kerry and other global climate leaders in the months ahead as they work toward a  November United Nations Climate Change Conference that aims to raise ambition among both governments and the private sector.  In this edition of Columbia Energy Exchange, host Jason Bordoff is joined by David Sandalow to discuss last week’s climate summit and what lies ahead.  David Sandalow is the Inaugural Fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy and co-Director of the Energy and Environment Concentration at the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University. He founded and directs the Center’s U.S.-China Program and is author of the Guide to Chinese Climate Policy. He has also been a Distinguished Visiting Professor in the Schwarzman Scholars Program at Tsinghua University. David has held many senior government climate posts, including acting Under Secretary and Assistant Secretary of Energy, Assistant Secretary of State and Senior Director on the National Security Council staff.

Secretary John Kerry, a former Iowa caucus winner, talks the end game in Iowa, from a nominee who has been there, the challenges of beating an incumbent President and why the stakes are so high in this election, starting with climate.

Today’s guest is one of America’s most accomplished and enduring public servants – decorated Vietnam War Veteran, 2004 Democratic Presidential Nominee, former U.S. Senator and Secretary of State, John F. Kerry. I was blessed to have a front-row seat to watch this man in action for four years. From 2002 – 2006 I was Senator Kerry’s Domestic Policy Director in Congress and took a leave of absence from the Senate during the Presidential campaign to be the Kerry-Edwards campaign director for the State of Maryland. These were some of the most formative years of my professional career. I got to learn from one of the best. It was wonderful to reunite with my friend, mentor, former boss, and one of my political heroes to engage in a Soul Force Politics dialogue for our listening community. If you have not yet read his new memoir, “Every Day is Extra,” I highly recommend you pick up or download a copy of this fascinating story of his life of service. We walk through some of my favorite portions of the book in this podcast episode. Join us for this lively conversation about the global threat of climate change; war-time lessons about life, death, and government betrayal; a warm review of a surprising bipartisan friendship that came from speaking truth in a Senate prayer breakfast; a rewind to the 1996 clash of the titans in Kerry v. Weld and their ground-breaking campaign finance agreement; and thoughts about regaining America’s standing on the world stage. Podcast Episodes | Soul Force Politics
