So I think it's important to communicate with the people in terms of what the real facts are on these proposals and try to have a discussion and a dialogue that gives people information. I think they're hungry for that rather than just political rhetoric.

This tough-love, winner-take-all narrative dominating policymaking is far too limited a way to think about how a complex, modern, diverse economy like ours expands and thrives. The strongest periods of economic growth in the 20th century were also times when incomes rose across the board.

-- John Podesta

I think itâ€™s time to open the books, on questions that have remained in the dark on the question of government investigations of UFOs, itâ€™s time to find out what the truth really is thatâ€™s out there. We ought to do it because itâ€™s right, we ought to do it because the American people, and people around the world quite frankly can handle the truth, and we ought to do it because itâ€™s the law.
-- John Podesta

I did answer all of the questions put to me today, ... Nothing in my testimony in any way contradicted the strong denials that the president has made to these allegations, and since I have been asked to return and answer some additional questions, I think that it's best that I not answer any questions out here and reserve that to the grand jury.
