says, “The sense that we're not still in an emergency and that this could very likely ramp up again with even more dangerous variants. We are not out of the woods. And even if we are, more are coming. This will not be another hundred years."

tells Dan Diamond, “It does not work to come down hard with scientific facts and argument when someone is very strongly held in their belief. What works is finding common ground."

Philip Zelikow tells Dan Diamond, “We don't need revolutionary agencies or revolutionary technology that doesn't exist. We can just make a whole lot better use of the tools that are available in our society today."

tells Dan Diamond, “Our goal was really to take a whole look, get to the truth of the issue and map out what solutions might look like so we don't have to fail next time."

tells Dan Diamond, “What I know for sure and really what the 34 co-authors reflected in this report, is that the public/private partnerships are central to the successes of COVID. Government can't do this alone. Industry can't do this alone."

Philip Zelikow says, “We thought what people needed was something that cut through the jumble of confusing information and just cut into why did people make the key choices that they made…We tried to offer this report together while we thought people were still ready to learn."

says, “Before this crisis, we were there, we were working hard in Sudan. The challenges were real… But now what happens is we have a conflict on top of that. All of the work, everything that UNICEF was doing… came to a grinding halt.” #PostLive

says, “I’ve spent my life in the political world. You can be political about a lot of things, but you should not politicize children’s health. It’s wrong.” #PostLive

says, “If these children are zero-dose children, it likely means that they’ve never really had any interaction with the health system, because if they had they would’ve gotten vaccinated. And it also means that their mothers probably didn’t.” #PostLive

on disinformation: “We think it’s a small number of people, they’re just really loud, and they push this nonsense around. And I do think all of us in the international community… have to be more aggressive and saying that this information is really wrong.”

tells

: “I’ve seen the impact of climate change and climate disruption on children and their families… We talk about it as a poly-crisis, a confluence of crises... It’s a very, very difficult time to be a child in the world right now.”

says, “We’ve unfortunately seen places where this question of vaccines has become more politicized that we would like to see and I think that sort of politicization, vaccine hesitancy is definitely an issue that we’re struggling with.” #PostLive

on COVID’s impact on child vaccinations: “COVID comes along, and I would say even before COVID there were challenges. I you look at the most marginalized children, it was always hard to get some of these children vaccinated. But COVID has really set us back.”

on the Dominion v. Fox News lawsuit, “We now have a legal ruling that the big lie, was in fact a lie."

tells

, “There's a danger to the markets, there's a danger to the economy. Which is already just coming out of the recession, trying to battle with both inflation and the threat of recession ... You can't go down this road. That would take us back."

tells

, "These Republican cuts in this bill that McCarthy is trying to get through the House are really, really steep … When you look at the numbers and what that means for programs ... these are draconian cuts."

says, “It's likely they will put out a budget, but whether they can get 218 votes for that budget, that's the issue. And that's where you hear a number of Republicans privately saying it's likely that's where you're going to see the motion to vacate McCarthy."

tells

, “When it comes to the budget, Republicans are privately admitting they might not even have one."

on debt ceiling bill, “We all know that whatever gets passed has to be bipartisan. So they're really just looking at it as a moment to entice Biden to come back, negotiate with McCarthy because that's when we're going to see whatever the final deal is emerge."

tells

:“I feel Pemex is one of the most important companies that we have in Mexico. And this is a company that requires to become more modern, but we also have to give them the tools to be more modern. There has to be technology, there has to be better training."

on Mayan train plans: “Having a fast and efficient transportations means that will bring millions and millions of tourists that come to the Mayan riviera is a project that is going to generate economic benefits, jobs and more.” #PostLive

says, “If we’re not able to ensure the goals that we have set on the climate crisis, important extensions of Yucatán and the Yucatán peninsula will disappear in the next 100 years.” #PostLive

on idea to use U.S. military to stop flow of fentanyl: “I don’t think it’s viable either because this is a topic to say, ‘Mexico is to blame, and therefore we’re going to have to send out forces from the U.S. to Mexico.’” #PostLive

says, “I can tell you that fentanyl is a pandemic because it’s sold in every corner. So there was a famous case, I don’t know if you recall with Purdue Pharma and all of that, however, what do we win by blaming others?” #PostLive

tells

: “We have to say that John Kerry has been a key factor [in] our more ambitious goals.” #PostLive

on private investment in green energy: “I see an increase in private investment in the next few years because of these decisions that are in synchrony with the decisions the U.S. is taking so we don’t reach more than 1.5 degrees in the middle of the century.”
