BECOME THE LARGEST SOLAR ENERGY

00:00:54.053 --> 00:00:56.723
PROJECT IN THE UNITED STATES.

00:00:56.790 --> 00:00:59.025

IS HOSTING IN MAY AND THE IMPACT

00:01:09.436 --> 00:01:10.904
THE RUSSIAN WAR IN UKRAINE IS

00:01:10.970 --> 00:01:15.842

00:01:22.248 --> 00:01:23.016
THE TRIP?

00:01:23.082 --> 00:01:27.020
>> WELL, THAT PART OF THE WORLD

00:01:27.086 --> 00:01:31.191
IS OVERWHELMED BY THE EXODUS OF

00:01:31.257 --> 00:01:33.193
CIVILIANS AND MOSTLY WOMEN AND

00:01:33.259 --> 00:01:33.726
CHILDREN.

00:01:33.793 --> 00:01:35.428
THAT HAS A HUGE OVERWHELMING

00:01:35.495 --> 00:01:37.297
EFFECT ON MENTAL HEALTH

00:01:37.363 --> 00:01:39.232

00:01:39.299 --> 00:01:39.666
EDUCATION.

00:01:39.732 --> 00:01:44.471
A LOT OF THESE KIDS, 280,000

00:01:44.537 --> 00:01:47.674
HAVE GONE FROM UKRAINE TO

00:01:47.740 --> 00:01:49.409
SLOVAKIA ALONE, ABOUT 50,000 IN

00:01:49.476 --> 00:01:51.344
THE FIRST FOUR DAYS.

00:01:51.411 --> 00:01:53.980
THEY PREDICT ABOUT 40,000 ARE

00:01:54.047 --> 00:01:54.881
STILL THERE.

00:01:54.948 --> 00:01:57.283
AND SO THEY ALL NEED SERVICES,

00:01:57.350 --> 00:01:59.252
AND THEY CAME OFF OF COVID, AND

00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:00.787
THEIR EDUCATION WAS DISRUPTED

00:02:00.854 --> 00:02:04.057
FOR A COUPLE YEARS AS IT EBBED

00:02:04.123 --> 00:02:04.991
AND FLOWED.

00:02:05.058 --> 00:02:06.626
NOW THEY'RE IN A WAR EFFORT.

00:02:06.693 --> 00:02:08.094
THIS IS GOING TO REQUIRE THE

00:02:08.161 --> 00:02:10.630
WORLD STANDING UP, NOT JUST TO

00:02:10.697 --> 00:02:18.271
HELP, BUT ALSO REJECTING PUTIN'S

00:02:18.338 --> 00:02:20.473
WAR MACHINE.

00:02:20.540 --> 00:02:21.941
CERTAINLY WE CAN SEND SUPPLIES.

00:02:22.008 --> 00:02:23.343
WE DIDN'T WANT TO BE A BURDEN.

00:02:23.409 --> 00:02:27.280
WE ASKED WHAT THEY NEEDED.

00:02:27.347 --> 00:02:32.118
SLOVAKIA INCLUDED.

00:02:32.185 --> 00:02:33.219
UKRAINE AND SLOVAKIA.

00:02:33.286 --> 00:02:36.689
TO HAVE A COMPANY LIKE ELI LILLY

00:02:36.756 --> 00:02:38.525
SUPPLYING INSULIN, THAT'S A HUGE

00:02:38.591 --> 00:02:38.725
DEAL.

00:02:38.791 --> 00:02:41.694
WE HAVE HOSPITALS SENDING

00:02:41.761 --> 00:02:42.228
SUPPLIES.

00:02:42.295 --> 00:02:44.197
WE TOOK OVER ATHLETIC EQUIPMENT

00:02:44.264 --> 00:02:46.132
AND ART, BECAUSE THESE KIDS ARE

00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:47.700
SITTING AROUND RIGHT NOW WAITING

00:02:47.767 --> 00:02:50.136
ON HOW TO PLUG BACK IN TO GET

00:02:50.203 --> 00:02:50.904
THEIR EDUCATION.

00:02:50.970 --> 00:02:52.739
SO THERE ARE A NUMBER -- WE MET

00:02:52.805 --> 00:02:56.576
WITH NGOs, PEOPLE IN NEED, PEN,

00:02:56.643 --> 00:02:58.711
AND THEY'RE CLEARLY FOCUSED ON

00:02:58.778 --> 00:03:01.314
MAKING SURE THAT THE NEIGHBORING

00:03:01.381 --> 00:03:02.549
COUNTRIES HAVE THE RESOURCES

00:03:02.615 --> 00:03:04.817
THAT THEY NEED TO KIND OF FILL

00:03:04.884 --> 00:03:05.785
THOSE GAPS.

00:03:05.852 --> 00:03:09.956
AND SO THEY ARE DEEPLY

00:03:10.023 --> 00:03:11.524
APPRECIATIVE OF EVERYTHING

00:03:11.591 --> 00:03:14.694
HOOSIERS AND AMERICANS AT LARGE

00:03:14.761 --> 00:03:15.628
ARE DOING.

00:03:15.695 --> 00:03:16.496
>> BUSINESS, ECONOMIC

00:03:16.563 --> 00:03:19.032
DEVELOPMENT, A BIG PIECE OF THIS

00:03:19.098 --> 00:03:19.899

00:03:37.050 --> 00:03:37.650
NORTHWEST INDIANA.

00:03:37.717 --> 00:03:38.751
>> HERE WE ARE AGAIN.

00:03:38.818 --> 00:03:41.588

00:03:51.998 --> 00:03:53.933
ISRAEL IS KIND OF A SECOND HOME,

KNOWN AS A START-UP NATION WHERE

00:04:16.623 --> 00:04:18.124
SMALL BUSINESSES GROW INTO

00:04:18.191 --> 00:04:20.393

LAST YEAR WHERE WE SET A LOT OF

00:06:11.504 --> 00:06:13.840
RECORDS AT THE I.E.D.C.

00:06:13.906 --> 00:06:15.408
WE'RE KNOCKING ON SOME OF THOSE

00:06:15.475 --> 00:06:17.777
RECORDS, WE'RE ON A PATH THAT IS

00:06:17.844 --> 00:06:23.750

ISRAEL? THE STATE IS THE FOURTH

00:06:35.428 --> 00:06:36.429
LARGEST EXPORTER TO ISRAEL IN
