California’s governor’s race is intensifying with two new candidates entering the field. Their announcements add to an already competitive contest, highlighting issues like housing, affordability, and climate policy. Who is to blame for these issues? Don't Democrats have a supermajority in California politics? Are two white men the best Democrats have?

Chuck Todd breaks down why Donald Trump’s sudden push for a Ukraine “peace deal” may be more about political retreat than diplomacy, especially as Europe now shoulders most of the war’s cost—leaving Trump with diminished leverage abroad and a base deeply skeptical of foreign interventions. Chuck digs into new polling that shows a steady and significant shift toward Democrats, with a widening generic ballot advantage and Trump’s approval continuing to fall, suggesting the midterms—and even the Senate—are unexpectedly in play. He explores how Trump’s attempts to manipulate the economy could backfire, how a potential “AI bubble” could further weaken him, and why GOP divisions are poised to intensify. Plus, an update on the California governor’s race, where a field of lackluster Democratic contenders has allowed Republicans to overperform, raising questions about whether bigger names—or Rick Caruso—will jump into a race long dominated by the shadows of Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom. Then, Chuck is joined by Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Anne Applebaum for a sweeping, unsparing look at the state of the Russia–Ukraine war and the global democratic landscape it threatens. Applebaum breaks down whether a ceasefire is even plausible this year, given Vladimir Putin’s unwavering war aims, the murky negotiators involved in back-channel talks, and Trump’s unusually warm posture toward the Kremlin. She details why Ukrainians refuse to accept a “kick the can” peace deal, how corruption scandals are playing out domestically, and the way drones, energy strikes, and a collapsing Russian economy are reshaping the battlefield. From mysterious elite deaths to China’s strategic support, Applebaum outlines the brittle yet dangerous architecture sustaining Putin’s regime. The conversation widens into a broader examination of the worldwide struggle between democracy and autocracy—from Trump’s Venezuela maneuverings to Saudi Arabia’s complicated role, from Silicon Valley’s unchecked power to Europe’s scramble to recalibrate its alliances. Applebaum warns that the U.S. walking away from Ukraine would reverberate far beyond Eastern Europe, and she explains why the speed and scale of Trump’s attacks on democratic norms have raised historic alarm. It’s a candid, far-reaching assessment of the forces shaping global stability—and the stakes ahead. Finally, Chuck answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and previews the upcoming weekend in college football.

Gary teams up with KFI’s Michael Monks for a fiery hour, starting with Thanksgiving traffic misery across LA and quickly jumping into a political thunderstorm. They break down the FBI’s reported monitoring of Newsom’s campaign, the indictment tied to his former chief of staff, and why the fallout may hit Xavier Becerra even harder. Then it’s the escalating Larry Summers mess, billionaire Tom Steyer launching his governor bid by dropping “bull s&t” in the first seconds of his announcement, and a rapid-fire look at the growing 2028 field: including Rick Caruso’s connection to the Palisades fires. All that, plus Michael’s demand: someone finally fix LA traffic!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The case was heard by a panel of three federal judges who split 2-1, with Brown and U.S. District Judge David Guaderrama, an Obama appointee, siding with the civil rights groups who challenged the map.

We talk to Republican State Sen. Tony Strickland of District 36, which has completely blown up by the redistricting brough about by Prop 50. President Trump posted on Truth Social today that California's redistricting measure is unconstitutional. Chris Merrill and Michael Monks discuss billionaire investor Tom Steyer's cringeworthy ads against Trump, which were not well received. We round up the show by listening to callers talk about the election results.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A governor with national ambitions, a party tug‑of‑war, and a state wrestling with affordability—this conversation goes straight at the question on everyone's mind: can Gavin Newsom sell hope to a country tired of anger without getting buried by California's record? We bring together seasoned strategists to weigh why prediction markets love his chances, how a relentless work ethic and podcast‑first media game reshape reach, and whether a transactional political style beats an old‑school “vision thing” when attention is fragmented and narratives move at internet speed.We dig into real fault lines. Supporters say Newsom can frame an abundance agenda for a broad coalition and avoid the foreign‑policy buzz saw that rarely swings U.S. elections. Skeptics hit back with hard California indices: stubborn poverty, high costs, safety concerns, and a housing market that locks out families. The housing debate gets sharp—CEQA trims and transit‑oriented zoning vs a “war on the suburbs”—with both sides agreeing production must grow but splitting over where, how, and who pays. If Newsom heads east, who fills the vacuum? We map the chessboard with Alex Padilla, Rick Caruso, Tom Steyer, and Rob Bonta as pivotal pieces.We also interrogate the GOP's puzzle in a deep‑blue state—out‑migration, donor drain, and flickers of Latino realignment—while testing potential 2028 matchups beyond Trump. Does a figure like J.D. Vance have a national gear, or does the race hinge on who best harnesses long‑form media and emotional tone? By the end, you'll have a clear picture of the stakes: the message Newsom needs to win nationally, the policies California needs to keep its middle class, and why the next governor's housing choices may define the decade.Like what you hear?

We have a long history in America of institutions and public systems that do not serve all members of the public equally. As Erin Kilmer-Neel shares on this episode of Power Station, the financial services industry, banks in particular, have routinely failed to approve loan applications for small businesses and mortgages from borrowers of color on par with their white counterparts. Perceptions of unworthiness is rooted in a well-documented history of racism in public and corporate policymaking. As executive director of the Beneficial State Foundation, the nonprofit that owns and partners with Beneficial State Bank, an equity-driven enterprise, Erin is powering a movement to unlearn the biases that undergird perceptions of risk and reimagine policies and practices that meet the capital needs of borrowers of color. Take Underwriting for Justice, an initiative that is upending racially discriminatory lending norms. It is engaging banks in signing on to methodologies that lead to systemic yeses. Erin is a bright light in the ongoing campaign to bridge the social equity and banking worlds. She credits the vision of Beneficial Bank co-founders Tom Steyer and Kat Taylor in creating an institution that builds power within, instead of extracting from, the communities it serves.

In his New York Times-Bestselling book Cheaper, Faster, Better, Tom Steyer reframes climate change not as a crisis to fear, but as a once-in-a-century opportunity to build something better. In the latest episode of Sustainability Leaders, Melissa Fifield, Head of the BMO Climate Institute, and Grégoire Baillargeon, Vice-Chair BMO Climate Institute, sit down with Tom Steyer, Co-Executive Chair of Galvanize Climate Solutions, to discuss his thoughts on investment opportunities and climate change.

In this episode of Capital for Good we speak with veteran investor and climate activist Tom Steyer. Over twenty-five years, Steyer founded and ran Farallon Capital Management, a $36 billion multi-strategy global investment firm. In 2012 he stepped away from Farallon to dedicate his time, resources, and energy to mobilizing climate action: clean air and energy initiatives in California; climate focused ballot initiatives in numerous states; youth voter engagement and mobilization (NextGen America); and a 2020 Presidential run largely focused on the climate crisis. Today, Steyer is the co-executive chair of Galvanize Climate Solutions, a climate-focused investment firm, and the author of Cheaper, Faster, Better: How We'll Win the Climate War. We begin the interview by discussing Steyer's parents, both civically engaged members of the Greatest Generation. In his father's case, a lawyer who served in the Navy and then as a prosecutor at Nuremberg. Steyer describes World War II as a crucible moment for Americans — galvanizing collective action and a sense of being part of something larger than oneself. For Steyer, the climate fight is a similar calling. We discuss why, despite current political headwinds, the momentum behind the climate revolution — the transition to net zero via the development and adoption of low carbon technologies — is very much alive, well, and accelerating. In Steyer's view, this is because of the dramatic decline in costs of renewables — solar and wind are now the cheapest forms of energy — and because applied technologies like batteries and electric vehicles continue to improve in quality and cost, driving demand. “This is not eat your gruel,” he says. “It's cheaper, faster, better. When you put eight billion people on a problem, they solve it.” We also explore promising new technologies coming on-line, from geothermal energy and AI optimization of the electric grid to geosynthetic seawalls. While these new technologies will enable the transition, Steyer notes that “climate capitalism” also requires new rules and policies to speed innovation and deployment; ultimately this means paying for carbon pollution. He argues that despite objections to the idea of a “tax,” people are already paying — in the form of destruction to homes, businesses, livelihoods, health — though often it is the most vulnerable, those who have contributed the least to the problem, in the United States and around the world, who bear the cost.   We conclude with a call to action. Historically, Steyer reminds us, “we've chosen to do the right things, even when they're hard, and that has always paid off for us, and it will always pay off for us. That is who we are, and that is where this world is going. This revolution is happening. Our job, as Americans, is to be at the forefront.”  Thanks for Listening!

Solving the climate crisis is not just a moral imperative, but also an opportunity for investors to earn a competitive return for finding and funding the desperately needed solutions. On this week’s episode of ESG Currents, Bloomberg Intelligence’s Senior ESG Analyst Rob Du Boff talks with famed hedge-fund investor Tom Steyer about his new venture Galvanize Climate Solutions. This episode also includes a discussion with Galvanize’s Chief Investment Officer for Global Equities Seth Kirkham from the BI ESG Conference on Dec. 11. This episode was recorded on Dec. 20, 2024.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

By now, you've likely noticed our refreshed look. We're evolving the show to focus on the inevitable impacts of climate change and the groundbreaking solutions shaping our future.To kick off this next chapter our first guest on Inevitable is Tom Steyer, Co-executive Chair at Galvanized Climate Solutions, a multi-strategy investment firm focused exclusively on the climate transition. A little over a year ago, Galvanize announced the final close of its Innovation + Expansion Fund at over $1 billion, one of the largest climate venture funds ever raised. Tom is also the recent author of the New York Times bestselling book, "Cheaper, Faster, Better: How We'll Win the Climate War," and he wrote the Forward to Project Drawdown.In 2020, Tom was a Democratic presidential candidate with a climate-focused policy agenda, and he participated that year on the primary debate stage alongside now President Joe Biden and now VP Kamala Harris, among many other notable Democratic party leaders. He's the founder of NextGen America, the largest youth voter organization in the USA, which he created in 2013. But Tom hasn't always been focused on the energy transition and climate change. In 1986, he founded Farallon Capital Management, a multi-strategy hedge fund that he ran for over 25 years and grew to hundreds of employees and $20 billion in assets under management. His story of having incredible success in one field and then feeling the inevitable pull to work on the biggest problem of our time is exactly the type of pathway that we plan to explore on this show. *We recorded this episode live during Climate Week NYC, in front of a fantastic audience.

Galvanize Climate Solutions LLC Co-Executive Chair and Co-Founder Tom Steyer discusses innovations in the energy sector and outlook for climate investment. He speaks with Bloomberg's Jonathan Ferro, Lisa Abramowicz, and Annmarie Hordern. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The climate crisis will require a whole host of solutions—spanning technology, investment, and policy. It's this intersection that is now the focus for Tom Steyer, who's had a hugely successful career as an investor, and more recently a Democratic political candidate. Through his company Galvanize Climate Solutions, Steyer is now investing in firms on the forefront of the climate fight. On this episode of Leadership Next, he spoke to Diane about the future of EVs, investing in infrastructure to combat climate change, and China's climate opportunity. Leadership Next is powered by Deloitte.

State of the Bay sits down with pollster Mark Baldassare to find out who the likely voters are in this November's election and how they feel about the statewide ballot measures. Then we'll talk to Tom Steyer about his new book, Cheaper, Faster, Better: How We'll Win the Climate War. Plus we'll hear about an organization supporting the art of the incarcerated.

Tom Steyer rose to public prominence as the billionaire investor and climate organizer who ran for president in the 2020 election on a climate-first platform. While he didn't secure the Democratic nomination, his dedication to supporting and advancing climate solutions has remained steadfast.  In his new book, “Cheaper, Better, Faster: How We'll Win the Climate War,” Steyer argues that we are in a defining moment: We face the daunting, existential threat of climate change. And yet, with this great challenge comes a great opportunity for innovation, global leadership and economic growth. But can capitalism, the system that helped create and exacerbate the climate crisis, be the system that fixes climate chaos?  Guests:  Tom Steyer, Co-Executive Chair of Galvanize Climate Solutions, Investor, Author  Naomi Oreskes, Professor of the History of Science, Harvard Support Climate One by going ad-free!

The leaders at the top of the Republican Party want the U.S. to double down on carbon-intensive oil and gas — and avoid reckoning with the damage they cause.  As temperatures continue to rise, a majority of young Republican voters say clinging to that stance could spell trouble for the sustainability of the GOP. And yet, conservatives aren't a monolith when it comes to climate. A small wing of the party is warming up to the idea of climate action. The question is: Can those Republicans, who take climate seriously, move the needle on bipartisan climate action?  Guests:  Emma Dumain, Reporter, E&E News Heather Reams, President, Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions Mariannette Miller-Meeks, U.S. Representative (R-IA 1st District) and Chair of the Conservative Climate Caucus Danielle Butcher Franz, CEO, American Conservation Coalition

The nation's electric grid needs to be expanded and made more reliable for our future energy demands and climate forecasts. The way we've built transmission in the past — regionally siloed with short term planning — is now suffering from reliability and capacity issues and won't work for the next century. The Department of Energy is drafting plans for national transmission corridors to help speed new construction. It's also handing out funds to build new lines and upgrade existing infrastructure to increase capacity. Meanwhile, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission recently passed a rule requiring utilities to work together and take a longer view on planning their transmission needs. But it will still take years to accomplish these changes. Can we build a robust national transmission system that serves our decarbonized future at the speed we need? Guests: Shelley Welton, Presidential Distinguished Professor of Law and Energy Policy, University of Pennsylvania Carey School of Law and the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy Maria Robinson, Director, Grid Deployment Office, Department of Energy  Danielle Fidler, Senior Attorney, Clean Energy Program, Earthjustice Pat Wood, CEO, Hunt Energy Support Climate One by going ad-free!

Investor Tom Steyer, author of "Cheaper, Faster, Better: How We'll Win the Climate War," sat down for a conversation with Barron's.

This week we take a trip to Mexico, a petrostate that just elected climate scientist Claudia Sheinbaum as its next president. She's also the former mayor of Mexico City, the largest city in North America, which has been going through a major water crisis due to climate change. It's at risk of running out of water — and it has been for a long time. In fact, much of the country is coping with drought and heat waves exacerbated by climate change. Christine Colvin, a hydrogeologist with WWF International, was in Cape Town, South Africa, at the height of a recent megadrought. The city was approaching Day Zero, when it would not be able to supply water to residents. Colvin says that of all the ways climate disruption impacts our lives, the most critical may be to our relationship with water.  "If the climate crisis is a shark, then water are its teeth. This is the thing that's really going to bite us first and hardest."  Guests: Oscar Ocampo, Coordinator for Energy and Environment, Mexican Institute of Competitiveness Christine Colvin, Water Policy Lead, WWF International

Is nuclear power the key to a carbon-neutral future or an accident waiting to happen? Non-hydro renewables such as wind and solar are predicted to play a major role in the future. However, one of these energy solutions has divided public opinion more than others. To mention the name "nuclear" is to conjure up the boogie man or "he who must not be named". By 2050, some 10 billion people will need some form of energy to eat, travel, work and protect themselves from the weather. McKinsey's Energy 2050 research report predicts that demand for electricity will grow twice as fast as demand for transport, while at the same time fossil fuels will decline. So how will we power the future?In this episode of 2050 Investors, Kokou Agbo-Bloua delves into the controversial topic of nuclear power, exploring its history, potential benefits and risks in the context of the global energy transition. He also highlights the dual nature of nuclear energy as both a powerful source of clean energy and a potentially catastrophic force capable of altering life at the atomic level. To explore the issue further, Kokou orchestrates a virtual Oxford-style debate between experts for and against nuclear power. The pro-nuclear side includes Bill Gates, Ernest Moniz, George Monbiot and James Hansen, advocating for nuclear power as a necessary tool to combat climate change. The anti-nuclear side includes Tom Steyer and Mark Jacobson, who criticise its economic feasibility and safety concerns. Each expert presents their opening statement, outlining their position and the key matters surrounding nuclear power.This episode will help you understand the fears, facts, and fission, so that you can make up your own mind about nuclear power.About this showWelcome to 2050 Investors, your monthly guide to understanding the intricate connections between finance, globalisation, and ESG.Join host Kokou Agbo-Bloua, Head of Economics, Cross-Asset & Quant Research at Societe Generale, for an exploration of the economic and market megatrends shaping the present and future, and how these trends might influence our progress to meeting 2050's challenging global sustainability targets.In each episode, Kokou deep-dives into the events impacting the economy, financial markets, the planet, and society. Through a magical blend of personal anecdotes, in-depth research and narratives overlaid with music, sound effects, and pop culture references, there's certainly something for everyone.Kokou also interviews industry-leading experts, personalities, entrepreneurs and even Nobel prize winners!

Investor and climate activist Tom Steyer discusses his new book Cheaper, Faster, Better: How We'll Win the Climate War and why running for president is an excellent megaphone. Plus, John Fetterman isn't so much trolling the Democratic party as just being his unvarnished hoodie-wearing self. And Joe Biden can't be that much like Abraham Lincoln even if he wanted to be, but the upcoming debate is a situation where he really shouldn't want to be.

This week, Christiana, Tom and Paul bring the politics with a discussion on the upcoming UK election. Our hosts chat to Tom Steyer, Co-Executive Chair of Galvanize Climate Solutions, a mission-driven investment platform, about clean power S-curves, the Climate War and Texas. Christiana questions whether economic competitiveness will win over "political tentacles" in the urgent timeframe we face, particularly in the context of Trump's current position of advantage in the US electoral race. Tune in to hear what Tom Steyer and our co-hosts think. They also discuss Tom's new book, Cheaper, Faster, Better: How We'll Win the Climate War, in which he shares his own story and showcases the inspiring and innovative work of other climate leaders in the clean-energy transition. He shows us how capitalism can be used to scale climate progress, debunks many of the arguments made by fossil fuel companies, and calls on all of us to make stabilizing our planet part of our life's work. As green technology is fast becoming cleaner and cheaper, reshaping our planet's future--and our own--has never been more crucial or within our reach.   NOTES AND RESOURCES   GUEST Tom Steyer, Co-Executive Chair, Galvanize Climate Solutions and author of Cheaper, Faster, Better: How We'll Win the Climate War Website | LinkedIn | Instagram | Twitter (X)   Galvanize Climate Solutions Website | LinkedIn   Proposition 23 Story on Wikipedia   Leave us a Voicemail for our “How To Live A Good Life” Series   Learn more about the Paris Agreement.   It's official, we're a TED Audio Collective Podcast - Proof!

Hundreds of billions of dollars have already been invested in clean energy projects in America since the Inflation Reduction Act was passed in 2022. With that level of spending, clean energy jobs are on the rise, meaning there's never been a better time to start a career focused on combating the climate crisis. The variety of roles in clean energy jobs means there are plenty of ways you can become a "Climate Person" in your professional life, even if you've been one in your personal life for a while. Being a "Climate Person" also isn't restricted to just careers in clean energy, but also means incorporating climate solutions into whatever it is you do for a living. Tom Steyer, co-founder of Galvanize Climate Solutions, founder of NextGen Climate America, and 2020 Democratic Presidential Primary Candidate joins the show this week to discuss his new book "Cheaper, Faster, Better: How We'll Win the Climate War" and strategies for becoming a "Climate Person" at a time when the world needs more of them than ever. We also talk about how turning politicians, business leaders, and investors into climate people will be critical to the sustainability of human life on our planet.

Michael welcomes climate investor and activist Tom Steyer, author of "Cheaper, Faster, Better: How We'll Win the Climate War." The climate is changing more rapidly than scientists predicted even a few years ago, with extreme weather already touching our everyday lives. At the same time, the clean energy revolution is forging ahead faster than nearly anyone anticipated. As Tom Steyer sees it, these two trends together create a moment like the one America faced during World War II: on the one hand, an existential threat calling for collective action; on the other, an opportunity to lead the world, protect the planet, and set the stage for a new generation of shared economic prosperity. Original air date 28 May 2024. The book was published on 28 May 2024.
