Really generous and sweet introduction. I think everybody for being i especially amanda told me that the smithsonian associate people have reminded me how engaged these audiences are. So i feel like i have to be up on my toes and really give you my a game to take that seriously. And to be a little intellectual, be a little heavy. Theres a lot of material in the book.

The reason i am doing that is to put us in the present moment where, as some of you may have heard, Driverless Cars are on the horizon. But at the end of th
Thank you, everyone, for coming. Im tim carney. Im a visiting fellow here at the american enter Price Institute as being the commentary editor at the Washington Examiner. We are here talking about health care and we want to ask a specific question about health care and its a question of the Free Enterprise side and the free market consentive or libertarian side dont always ask in latin or who benefits . I think sometimes people on the right or right of enter are uncomfortable with that question because they say why should it matter who benefits because we see Elizabeth Warren will say a tax cut is bad because rich people benefit, but i think its actually a very important thing to talk about. One definitely influences our debates. If you remember in the 2008 campaign and the passage of obamacare, barack obama certainly thought it was very important to point out that he was battling, you know, the Health Care Sector. That he was battling the drugmakers or he was battling the insurers and

Thank you to the panel, and im going to sit down and be quiet and turn it over to my excellent panel, and well start off with heather. Thank you so much. Good morning, everyone. I think the arctic is the best place to talk about that intersection of climate stress and security. And in many ways the arctic is telling us, actually, both polar regions are telling us theyre under the most dramatic stress as the arctic certainly is warming two to three times faster than any place on the planet. And in many ways we are now dealing with a very new ocean. In fact, our former coast guard commandant called the arctic americas fourth coast. I thought that was a powerful way of thinking about it in part bec
Advance warning and so i am joined here by olivia who is now at the Peterson Institute and loretta who is the president of the Federal Reserve bank in cleveland and grenade the former fed chairman and paul crewmen the economist and Senior University of new york and columnist for the New York Times and he is the guy who make all journalists nervous because he seems to be more productive than the rest of us and that is kind of frightening given that he does all these other things at the side but we can discuss that later so i wanted to start by asking each of the panelists a little bit about what they took away from the conversation we had this morning.
