development of cars that run on electricity instead of gas. here s the thing. that loan to tesla that republicans made such fun of, that loan that turned out great in the end. that was made through a loan program created in 2007. signed into law by a previous president named george w. bush and even when it is working, it is a laugh line to them. mitt romney was good on the climate issue until he wants to run for higher office. republicans were all for invest ting in electric car until they decided to call it a joke. what are our chances of moving forward at a time when half our political world is moving backward on this issue even against our own ideas? he is a nuclear physicist who beat ibm s computer at jeopardy. thanks for being with us. rachel, it s always good to
to goose the american development of cars that run on electricity instead of gas. here s the thing. that loan to tesla that republicans made such fun of, that loan that turned out great in the end. that was made through a loan program created in 2007. signed into law by a previous president named george w. bush and even when it is working, it is a laugh line to them. mitt romney was good on the climate issue until he wants to run for higher office. republicans were all for invest ting in electric car until they decided to call it a joke. what are our chances of moving forward at a time when half our political world is moving backward on this issue even against our own ideas? he is a nuclear physicist who beat ibm s computer at jeopardy.
and even when it is working, it is a laugh line to them. mitt romney was good on the climate issue until he wants to run for higher office. republicans were all for invest ting in electric car until they decided to call it a joke. what are our chances of moving forward at a time when half our political world is moving backward on this issue even against our own ideas? he is a nuclear physicist who beat ibm s computer at jeopardy. thanks for being with us. rachel, it s always good to be with you. when the republicans are trying to criticize or hold back this sort of investment, what impact do you think it is on innovation and new technologies that could help on issues of energy and climate change? i don t know how many wildfires, hurricanes, barges
measure in leaps and bounds, unimaginable innovation in manufacturing in the united states of america? what has produced that in the last decade is you. specifically your money. hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer money, public investment. and the fact that it is all for fighting wars, of course, really changes the politics around it. are there lessons to be learned for building ourselves out of the economic disaster we re in from the way that we became a country that could build this guy? joining us now is a man who knows a thing or two about high-tech, the nuclear physicist who beat ibm s computer at jeopardy, congressman holt of new jersey. it s good to be with you. do you think there s a lesson to be learned from the leaps and bounds we have experienced in military tech over the last ten years fighting these two years that can be applied to revitalizing what we make and invent? it pays off big, not just in nifty devices, not just in better understanding of our
innovation. so this is not a hypothetical. what in the past decade has produced observably amazingly technological innovation you can measure in leaps and bounds, unimaginable innovation in manufacturing in the united states of america? what has produced that in the last decade is you. specifically your money. hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer money, public investment. and the fact that it is all for fighting wars, of course, really changes the politics around it. are there lessons to be learned for building ourselves out of the economic disaster we re in from the way that we became a country that could build this guy? joining us now is a man who knows a thing or two about high-tech, the nuclear physicist who beat ibm s computer at jeopardy, congressman holt of new jersey. it s good to be with you. do you think there s a lesson to be learned from the leaps and bounds we have experienced in military tech over the last ten years fighting these two years
