Gavin Newsom and mineral industry executives investing in the state, Biden joked that someone &#8220;was pointing out to me today&#8221; that California&#8217;s economy is &#8220;about the size of Russia&#8217;s, for real.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/biden-steers-billions-to-us-mineral-projects-in-bid-to-boost-semiconductor-production\">BIDEN STEERS BILLIONS TO US MINERAL PROJECTS IN BID TO BOOST SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCTION<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Twice the size, Mr. President,&#8221; Newsom responded. &#8220;The fifth-largest economy in the world, so treat us well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But who&#8217;s paying attention, right?&#8221; Biden added, earning a few chuckles.<\/p>\n<p>Then, as press members were leaving the event, Fox News&#8217;s Peter Doocy asked Biden if he &#8220;underestimated&#8221; Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The thing I love about the press is they\u2019re always on message,&#8221; the president responded before appearing to turn toward the meeting participants to ask, &#8220;Did you underestimate Putin?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The event was originally scheduled to highlight the administration&#8217;s efforts to boost domestic collection and refinement of critical earth minerals, which included billions in funding for related programs housed in Biden&#8217;s bipartisan infrastructure law.<\/p>\n<p>The president framed those steps as a means of wresting control of America&#8217;s supply chains away from China.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When it comes to clean energy, China has spent several years cornering the market on many of the materials that power the technologies that we rely on,&#8221; he stated. &#8220;That&#8217;s why I committed us to build a clean energy supply chain that&#8217;s made in America. Made in America means we use the products, parts, and materials, as well as minerals, right here that are in the United States of America.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>You can watch Biden&#8217;s meeting in full below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\">\n             [embedded content]\n            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden peppered two separate jokes about Russia into a Tuesday afternoon supply chain event at the White House, just hours after he launched the first salvo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1328439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1328439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1328439"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1328439\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1328439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1328439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1328439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
