i know youk make a lot of decisions?nes aren't all that hard, but pretty e a decis. i was my dad by a cowboy. work to bdotogether. when i got to college and i was electeto the legislature more republican women as there wastey men and i never thought about it in i decided to run for governor and i found oue polling that it was hurti woman. south dakota never seen a womano congress to vote and policies and stuff but they weren't sure a woman had to be the c.e.o. when i got i remember standing in the rotunda in for n ceremony and i w the hundreds of people and the remota built around the fact that the day i was being sworn in as the first female governor of the state of south dakota was the 100th anniversary of women■[e rn south dakota. it 100th anniversary and c this was and 100 years before c0 years later■ we were swearing te first female governor and i was standing there for the very first time and i started to get ne and think this is historic, this is kind of a bi deal. i better not screw this up.theny hand on my dad's

certainly raised as far as youk!concerned.k-k-k/k/k-k- he says k-i always understand tt o-is is thek- last in since abo- 47, his only generation tok-k-k- newspapersk- that share yourk)k) parties liberal values. is that right? >> well, i will give you an example. before the last general election, you now, i never once entertained for a millisecond that "daily mail" or the telegraph would come out in support of the liberal democrats, but that didn't mean that i thought it was a waste time to try and seek to explain to them what they stood for, what my plans were for the party, so that if not in the editorial starts, nonetheless have the courage they would give us the hearing. i would still do that today. and there were other newspapers i suppose notably independent o the observer that i saw was a much stronger convergence,  hope would lead to more explicit form of endorsement, which happily did occur.

it's a wonderful introduction, both for math, but also history programs and i think youk will find it extremely user-friendly, but there are a lot of things online. if you just put into your computer, free education and scroll down, you will be amazed at what you'll find, but compu eating managing the basics of the computer and i understand it'sdi difficult, check out your local library, your local adult learningse services. i bet there are courses you can take. your question is important. thank you for sharing. host: as someone who writes for a legacy newspaper, how has your life changed in the last 10 years or so because oft technology? guest: first time i was on c-span was ryan lamb for a book i wrote in 1988. when i wrote that book i had a physical researcher that sat next to me. i gave him assignments and he went to the library and got the answer. my new book "thank you for being late", i had google to research and she never asked me a question and work 247, 365. she was free and found every answer. that's really the difference. i found it now i can simply ask a question like, wh

c-span, youks for are a true national resource. the comment and a couple of things is one that we need to get politics as far away from this as possible. you have a 2% fatality rate and percent --is 0.1 0.1%. will stressnts that test our governments and hospitals. we need to get a government into place here. i think that is the real comment, maybe we have been lucky to sidestep a lot of this with the political rhetoric we have had over the last 20 years that have discharged and sidestepped the expertise and functioning government, but we will need to get active about that and the wave is coming and people need to prepare for that. guest: i agree with you that this coronavirus has been an we preparedays are to deal with the kind of health threats we may find even today and do we have to beef up our systems to make sure we protect ourselves? holes. found a number of having said that, it is important to say the president was wrong, it is not 15 cases, there are 60 cases in the united states has been doing pretty well compared certainl

proposed rule out we have to finalize this year as well as a supplemental rule essentially many of youkted in that comment process. we have got over half a million, half a million comments isn't big. >> half a million questions or can you process a half a million? [a lot of staff time. but let me tie with making the rule that much better. the technology we saw here at ceraweek last year we are able to incorporate it in real time into these regulations. it is about ensuring our regulations are timed well with the market. that is what we are able to do with methane because of the flexible approach we are taking. also because the investment in iran for it will be we able to capitalize on the same opportunities without power sector strategies as well. >> early in the animation a car there's a lot of technologies aimed at methane and responding to the need. and i was the role of epa be very central in that. there's a lot coming down the pike. there's going to be a lot tos . we are hearing -- there is discussion of timing of epa action and their impact on reliability and affordability. how ar

and s this is the way how we bridge it and maybe change our -- asking the question on which side are youk] so divided on it. if we ask it from the if point of the people, and i mean human and foreign politics is about the people, what to people of israel, what what dot people need? do the people of gaza and they need obviously in gaza is humanitarian access. so the question, how do we come to political answers. nge course -- [inaudible] this is why now for me, german foreign minister, i would say loud and clear that the access to gaza has to change. i believe that it's important that -- and eres can be used as border crossing as a well. but i was standing there besides estimated 3,000 trucks waiting to enter people are starving there and here is the food. so the food and the water has to come, come in. on the other hand, and this is , we cannot ignore the hostages are still in the hands -- some think they have be freed. the hands of hamas. so while you're speaking about humanitarian access to come in because of the people, we have to stay together and this is my countries -- other countri

looming tower which took five years and i interviewed 600 people that is a the fundamental idea of youkto everyone who will talk to you. it's like horizontal reporting. and you go back to them again and again. and that's more about understanding. would you really want to think deeply into something. two brief questions. it has been very successful for many years and ways. first of all and starts with oil. texas would it be texas without oil. in 1901 there was a hell called the sour spring mountain. school boys schoolboys used to set on fire. it was a con man which was kind of a theme in texas history. with a deputy sheriff. and he forecast that he would drill and he would find oil at a thousand feet at a thousand and 26 feet. there was an explosion in 6 tons of drilling pipe flew over this has never happened before. they waited a moment and then kind of calledrawled back to clean up the mess. and then oil started flying out. he have wanted to find a while that would produce 50 barrels per day. hundred thousand barrels per day it was the first gusher. that was 1901. and soon he was con c

. >> thank you both for sharing the information youks have provided in these books.hey share small parts of people's stories perk i would like to invite the audience to come up and ask questions if you are interested there is a microphone to my left. when we say hispanic history it brings to mind the southwestern part of the united states or texas or california. how does this connect to the south or tennessee quick. >> you don't think that it does but there is a whole hispanic history of the deep south that actually dates back to the earliest. and the spaniards start trying in the 15 hundreds but is that we think of today with south carolina and florida in the georgia coast of what they envisioned of florida. so for instance this is one of the stories that i really like. as they try to put a settlement in georgia and it failed. so these are some of the earliest non- indigenous people of coastal georgia and that is the area. that is the expedition going through alabama around louisiana and arkansas but at various points so i was in montgomery recently the only paintin

first of all, had experience internat international expansion withinin candidate itself, woul when youkabout the movement of institutions like the bank of nova scotia from halifax to montrÉal to toronto and then to the west. following the movement of the canadian pacific railroad. they had already developed a sense of how do you conquer space basically. so it was easy then for them to move into the caribbean because they had this experience overseas, if you think of western canada as being some ways overseas to the maritime provinces. furthermore, the canadian bankers were working and what we might call intra- colonial mode, which is a sense that they're going to do the work in the british colonies that england itself wasn't going to do. so the kind of caribbean territories to some degree were seated to canadian banks and that there was a way ofwe strengthening the dominion by establishing canadian capital in the region. at the same time the canadian banks recognizing that the national banking legislation in the united states inhibited the overseas expansion of u.s. branch banking. they

what are youk. reading? >> caller: thanks for taking tha call. at the present i'm reading principles and bankers empire by professor james hudson. cspan: you seem to be on an agenda with those two books. what is it? >> caller: repeat the question, please? cspan: you seem to have an agenda or purpose with those two books. what is it? >> caller: well, i don't know, i don't know>> if i have an agend, i just curious and always followed mr. dalio. i like what he has done with his hedge fund and you know, some of the principles that he espouses are very, very strong and with bankers, i am from the caribbean originally. so he on wall street called night of the caribbean. that is very, that's been my focus in terms of reading the second book. the first book is just because i'm just curious about you know how mr. dalio developed his hedge fund and type of techniques that he has used. cspan: i think we have talked to the author of that second book here on booktv. this is a little bit of a stretch, do business books do well, mitch company plan? >> they do,

. >> thank youk so much rachel from south carolina. >> there is a meeting going on right now with four key senators. a private meeting with the moderate senators. joe mansion is the one democrat for reelection. with the full membership of the republican senate. with the independent line. >> mister kavanaugh is not mister spock. and once he gets on the court. that he will not remember what has taken place. there is a clear partisan situation. and the second thing that something did happen no doubt about that. they both come across very credible. judge kavanaugh's credit to keepe a diary lens to his technical side if he said he was not there. and we are in a very dangerous time but now to his credit over 35 years in public service to have any of these things never came up. yearsu saying now 35 later and then to be looked upon as they are now. >> yes they will confirm him 51 /-slash 49. >> so we provide live coverage with the c-span platforms the hearing will begin at 8:00 p.m. eastern in 20 minutes on c-span two. and even more of your phone calls throughout the night. and as a reminder a

[laughter] i have been able to use read thatad in by accident, that is e pure definition and the accusation, i know what you went through. [inaudible] >> festival teddy roosevelt life, i don't believe anybody could do that but certainly he was.pe i have desperately tried to doy that. i didn't start out that way but i looknk at what i've written is probably going with me, 100 years ago the great-grandchildren reading books, what an incredible thing that is. >> the other thing i like about this book and did not have the framing, is like three not only cannot be sold but this is a story where domestic life really matters, it really comes through, how did you decide moran family life and presidency which is the right idea when you have a life so large. >> an enormous amount of history as it happens and the death of his first life which to me is the second most difficult part of the book, the death of his wife and how that happens and wh

if youke want to ask a a questin (202)748-8000 for democrats and republicans 202-74-8800 won. mr. kennedy you have an opinion piece in "the wall street journal" this morning could all just so show folks the headline at home the democratic party reached the primaries. what's the focus? the democratic party is basically doing the same thing to me that they did the bernie sanders. we are adopting rules that will disenfranchise the citizens of states like iowa and new hampshire and voted against president biden last time. because i campaigned in iowa and new hampshire i won't be allowed to win any delegates from those states. notse only that but the dnc is w adopting a rule that will disenfranchiset georgia voterso any candidate in new hampshire which is me will not be able to win any delegates from georgia's on the matter how big my vote is in my vote plurality is in georgia i will not be able to win those delegates. that really is existential because george has at various large state and its paradoxical as well because the democratic party my family in particular since the 1960s has

until youk say something back to do the ground and what did you say to the crowd?ttle girl said i wouldn't talking to them. i was talking to god. you can ignore the noise of eminent danger and as lon as you're talking to another person, whenever way you approach t you can hand it over with what's going on and we're in a time i wanted to say that because we h had a time, you can see you need some spiritual kind of trump you can deal with this stuff without being affected by it. in the middle of all the hate, we're in the middle of all the backlash and unless you are prepared for this mentally and spiritually, you need to come. host: i march with mlk in chicago in 1963 and never thought i'd in the civil rights struggle in 20226789 do you agree? >>-- 2022? do you agree? guest: i definitely agree and lobbied the king and said one of my mentors was rev rand jackson and -- reverend jackson and saying in the service line they work closely together and i've seen the video of where dr. king has been through it in cicero and when they were there and he never saw the hate in

youk, she wrote about that thoms of the air ..., they are often dispatched in the remote southwest where people hundreds of miles from hospitals. she has a -- i think you'll be made in the honorable air traffic control because she talks about the special thing which they have and also the phenomenal competence of the air traffic control system with the situation is getting the systematic, everybody there, she describes one time that the fourth there was good on board whether, we blundered into a thunderstorm. as one military controller was handing us off to the next center, the controller said first, good luck and then say so report. this is the formula for how many human beings are on the plane so they can adjuster it very systematically. that's her part of the drama.ig >> you talk about a few of those dramas but it seems like a thanksgiving dinner. out of a vending machine. what was the most difficult part about this adventure works was the most rewarding? >> the difficult was mainly, we tried to read up on all these abundance of the american road trips. from lewis and clarke for the o

goo more communities, build and rebuild our transportation systems to meet the 21st and even 22nk youkr questions. >> thank you, mr. secretary. re we begin with members questions i do want to flag the wi series today. d want to -- and the secretary secretary has a heart stops when asking is let's be respectful of the secretariese to keep my questions to five minutes. stay u our rules. so with that i'm going tour ranr open. >> thank you, mr. secretary if come today. a lotf out there in terms of how much you spent, how much hasn't been spent, what' on. from my math without 52.8% of the wayn of timeline to september 30, 2026. i also b my math dot issued in about 48.1% of the dollars. pretty close, not exact but pretty close, almost half-and-half. can you talk a little bit about some of the chaen done to address those challenges subcommittees can benefit from the dollars pgh yes. as you noted we are more or lesa five-year light of this authorization. and depending on how youure, buc measure of funds forgot we made roughly half o t available. as you know, our fundingorli■) t basis which mea

netanyahu because is appointed for dues what you want liquid so interestingly donald trump is whatever youk them to down a black and white back and democracy and i think that is what is a sad but for think of this is the choice it is 11 following anything but occult and when you have a cold, in whatever that of the call says, that matters for donald trump there's no consistency and the only consistency is i went and i don't when the reelection illegal because the only solution was a trump solution, not one you exercise for everybody. >> others of you are in westrginia theatever that impressed having another candidate over the past four years. >> hey look i didn't vote for joe biden the first time, i voted for him for present within a bunch joe biden to again no monies i have no i did not want him to run again but he somehow has his impression they have egos was be honest and he was thehe only one that can actually gettrump pretty much of this trooper the fact of the matter is this only choices they have started to grandmother people pretty think of the. governor mission the governor of cali

how do youke make it fun and hae this attitude when you sit down at the computer every day. >> first of all keep in mind that what seems earthshaking today will be tomorrow. in one of the first things, an attorney 80, you look back and you see, that happened in the carter administration and he had of been so excited. just remember something what ford did and also take a deep breath. >> one of the things that i admire i think so many other people do about writing is that you have a happy attitude but you are not afraid to confront very complex problems. as i was flipping three broken ribs noticing that you are writing about the mark in history and there is a consultative debate especially in what things like critical race theory. which is not talking about history, gets muddled and confusing when you have confronted this the one that i remember you told a story about a lynching that happened in illinois, not far from where president obama announced his campaign. can you talk about why because as a conservative who grew up in rural michigan, we would not talk about these things and som

ways that you teach your daughter not to judge herself and others were there appearances whom i think youkuch for saying that pretty fences moment where i telling family was really isolated because my husband nick is amino compromised we were seeing me up into many real people during the pandemic and i was working this topic and i was so concerned by the ways in which we have been taught all of this me included, look at a the bodies kind of ona scale implicitly as if we rank a special girls the women rather than viewing bodies for them and nobody else. and so whenever just do because were exposed to the very few people just bring up pictures of the amazing people i followed people who are fat ten fashionable and people are fat and brilliant people are mike favorite writers working today and some of whom are in bodies that are often judged harshly by the social standards that proliferation wanted to gaze to be clear that we are so happy that we share the world with all of these brilliant wonderful people and how wonderful that will appear in the world together and get to be in community the

think it's a great thing which you probably will see more of i because they'll talk about it here when youkt what the biden administration is prioritizing talking about terrorism they areea talking about being illaug from china that are apprehending two casing the joint to the jordanians they saw that talking about a microcososcope on people you go to traditional latin mass at the richmond diocese and people who sp misinformation and the bulletin and every 2020 they said there's terroristctave their priorities wrong but the more we can talk about it beyond statese think people areeine. -- they have been so sulated from the consequences of their ideologies but the hill isth not that high. >> part of problem is because it's convincele p thing. the real strategy is it's to0i ments can behe and they are unable to control that in the response to that is th governance. that is really the it's hard to convince people that that'ut here's the proof of that. look at how let's just look at the united states for aond look at how american politics has changed over the last 30 years. 30 years ago immigra

odd only if you think of them being along those lines because focusing on that division might make youkee area where they are united and where they are united with criminal law is deference to police and prosecutors there is always a majority on the court for that no matter what the ideological background and one reason for i that biases how we choose our justices in the first place a bench john overwhelmingly from the pull of government lawyers have spent their life and career representing the government. we have rarely seen justices who represent regular people and even where still those that ares accused of crimes with the governmental lawyers and they are too quick to defer assuming that regularity of trust i just want to remind you the framers fear that they really wanted to put regular people who are not part of the governmental machine that the courts erase the boundaries and we have lost a lot as a result i think there any easy answer but to emphasize what is the place to start because currently we have a bench that ise dominated by former prosecutors who represented the governme

but youk a little closer to george gallup was a real prickly guy a w to attack his critics oy,harshlyhat i had been able to researchbout about the history of polling and presidential elections. so i was diggingarchivesunivers. and i got i was this guy was really going the handle of his critics not once or twice. but, you know, many times so he was he was certainly one o char. another one is a contemporary of was a failed jeweler in into market rh in new york and public opinion became a sort of a spinoff of k that he did. and he was he was an election pollster, butservations about pe wasn't really a bigoy fan it as gallup was and he was he was a real tepid kind of polling and one reason is it on polls. his bread and clients, industril clients and consumer opinion. that's where he wasxb■éome. but elmo roper is one of those founding fathers as well, a foun figures in polling, research and a a character in the book is a guy named warren f. he was the polling director at cbs news and was a great in polling and opinion research. ■ehe he developed or helped develop random dial telephone call

i think you start a book the way that youk fall in love.ou find outnd there are a lot of hurdles and itt is hard and 80 and a broken hearted. but the thing that was hard about my previous biography of frances perkins i did not realize how lucky i was it is in modern english. the thing that was very fortunate is the printing press was invented in the late 14 hundreds and in that period of time known to be extraordinarily important and many of the chronicles number written or published in printed volumes early which was invaluable because you cannot read the handwritten letters in the archaic print. we have lostec the ability.d only a handful of people in the world can decipher them. i was able to take them. them.them. the library of congress hasot a fabulous, incredible collection. i photocopied and translated on the margins and that was how i did it. because there has been so much propaganda about isabel in so many different ways i decided one of the things that was essential was to get everything back as closeoc as possible to theum origin

you touched on this really interesting and and challenged some of the preconceived notions that i youkally i think i don't remember the exact but the actually much lower. the percentage of them that could qualify as truly invasive than would have thought. it's definitely like a i mea plt to become invasive normally i over the world all the time and some invasive. but i am so in■■d■/ awe invasive plants. they are so resource for honestly just doing an incredible job at plants. i'm sure you've all seen the japanese knotweed that we have. it is season for them now. there's a lot nearit's just li'e just taking over the whole lot and there's bes whe panic about japanese knotweed in the u.s. and in europe because it can concrete it can get into people's homes, i think until year in the uk youmortgage on ae was knotweed the property because it' hn rhizomes so. it's like if you leave a little rhizome behind, it can just reproduce. so if you see a whole bunchf knotweed anywhere, that's probably one organism. um, and knotweed what people are ow are that knotweed is just incredibly good at passin

when youk are in the employer market and you pick your health benefits you are signing up for health plan either self-insured health plan or you're purchasing a plan product but when you end up in medicare are or replace things are a little different. you turn 65 and you develop end-stage ring of the essays are out aosc qualify for medicare you sign up for traditional medicare its hospital benefits in physician benefits then you also have two pick a prescription drug plan and the traditional medicare program has no catastrophic out-of-pocket limit. then you pick supplemental coverage so you've made three choices but the alternative of course is picking medicare advantage where you have one choice. you're getting traditional coverage. you're getting supplemental coverage or medigap coverage and 90% of plans include the prescription drug plan and you get supplemental benefits in your plan. some have vision and hearing. if you think about it you are 65 years old and entering medicare and you have three or five chronic conditions you are on a fixed income, you have a limited number n of

never lived alone, lived with her, her and her father her entire life, her her daughter they had a youkrs liked idea of being a mother, but was not so crazy. the reality of being mother, her, as with her husband's, any conflict beten work and family work one and that was i think a hard lesson for the three husbands and and for her daughter as well right her daughter still alive and she she is she lives i florida. i wrote her she's very private i wrote her a letter when started this as a courtesy she refused she to let me interviewer but as with her mother, when relatives or friends would call and say somebody named susan page has called me and wants to interview me, barbara, she would say, feel free to go ahead. she wouldn't say, have to do this for me. but she didn't say, i don't want you to speak to her. so that was all was all i could expect. and i am actually grateful to her for that. but, you know, her daughter's desire for privacy she, i think, cost barbara something she would liked because when she died, when barbara walters died about a year and a half ago. i kept waiting for gi

. >> to the ever asked are youk going to retire? >> no, not really. really precook such a question they asked? [laughter] justice wasas supported 1990 by george h.w. bush retired in 2009. do you think you parcel saying that to you? [laughter] i appreciate your references to justice can am sorry senator kennedy. >> answer to that was this what i've learned in the senate is oft senators and members congress will by and large asked the question that they believe their constituents want asked.an if in fact you do not want certain questions -- if they are not sensitive to what their constituents want they will not meet senators or members of congress for very long. so what i say l to the high schl students, i say look, you are part of the decision-making process or you soon will be. so it i think is the strength of the country and what i think really that first amendment is therefore, and i learned this in the senate to, listen. listen to what other people say. you may not convince them but. >> does that mean you think that today's senators and the senator

. >> absolutely and speaking of you know the very common experiences that women talk about, youk are very much about talking about how that was. and this is something that a lot of women are starting to share about more and more rated giving of theg unnecessary shame attached to it. i love the way that you talk about it very moderate and frankie were about your initial experiences, with the hospitals who did not give you your full options. so you discuss this in the book, i'm hoping youou can walk throuh sma now activeop in hoping the policies could be more inclusive. duckworth: that was a congresswoman at the time and inspired to be coming at congresswoman i was at the bni also did the healthcare and at the time they still had very limited facilities. and at the va hospital had the civilian hospitals in a partner in the meeting that i go to was in a hospital happens to be a catholic institution which i didn't ever think about. i did my mammogram and things like that. and they referred to me to share with the doctor in the clinic there didn't even examine mayor take me into the clini

pretty close to conceding that as well. , even though concessions --it does not really seem justice youk which thought was most sympathetic to your argument. just as gorsuch did say about a $1000 fine does not change the way and elector is voting. what about this new law in colorado and washington, where if an elector renders a faithless vote that removes him from office as a matter of law. is that consistent with the constitution? -- there are good, in its current firm at -- in its current format, the judges work hard to pose the most challenging questions to the advocates on both sides. inis harder to get a read or where theyon might be leaning -- on where they might be leaning. i really hope they do. i hope this is not one of the has standingobody where we do not have jurisdiction or whatever. this issue should be decided now and not in december, 2020 or 8 when it is in the middle of a contested election where the supreme court decision would describe -- would decide the outcome of the election. it is important to have clarity in advance. >> your brief for the campaign legal center --

if youk do two things is get tht book and also get mys book three things and also get suzanne's book.aughter] three things i ask of you. is there anything you can say about, how did it apply to either trump, or covid? >> i will let suzanne answer. >> trump. he wasn't walking dead already would have died with trump. that would have just broken his heart really. all of the quotes about bush is a very funny thing believed he would live to see bush, cheney, bush, : what am i missing? somebody. >> a dick. bush >> andnd : running the country. so that is a great joke but trump was no joke. and i think authoritarianism the black/white thing which is so opposite of his view the nationalism, i think it would have broken his heart. he would have lived longer in order to write more about it if he could have. >> one of the things really matter to me when is working on this book was the notion that kurt was such a downer in the last years. it's something i wrestled with. because his kids often would tell me don't think of him just that way that he had so much joy also. a lot of it comes from the ma

maybe youk little bit about political and military today and their great gasp of history is this something being absorbed. perhaps in congress as we used to when when congressmen were militarily, for instance, maybe talk about the importance of hist work you've done with this book for, military leaders and for today. i set an exam, a for anybody who wanted to stand for public office. frankly, i it's a it should be an absolute prerequisite that people shoulha knowledge history that if they're to try and decide anything to do with the future. i'm not sure that many british litiul pass that exam, frankly. but then neither would our schoolchildren. we had the dayn, missouri the we had a question about winston churchill. schoolchildren thought that he was a fictional character. and that i worrying thing, especially here, of course, in the national chÑdl etc. it means that the job you do and the job that justin does is a tremendously centrally important one. that yes, of vital. you know, this of brings to min all these great aphorisms about history. you what's on who fail to study the past, doom

aat month which i think is shocking to people that they have that relationship but joe biden says youk, can work with mike pence and joe biden tells for leaders who he is in touch with to call mike pence and not donald trump becauseon pence has experience in government and compared it to bill clinton and newt gingrich where they could work together even though they were completely on opposing sides. >> host: bob is joining us on the public in line with kate anderson brower, her new book on the vice presidency. good morning, bob. >> caller: good morning. thank you for this great show. i want to ask kate about mike pence and the president. do they have weekly prayer meetings? also, was there anything significant about june 2016 and pence may be bringing trump to jesus. >> guest: they do have a -- mike pence has a weekly meeting with members of the cabinet and friends in the executive office and he will cancel meetings in order to attend that weekly prayer meeting. he is very busy so he makes it happen every week and it's very important to him. i don't believe donald trump attends a meeti

youke asked a great question abt sba.bl the interesting thing we saw in the first trump administration is sbair got a lot of attention. but had a relatively high profile administrator. we have not necessarily seen that level ofis activity producg discussion there've been names that have beenlele named. it's almost like the sba would be there and to help in some areas. but roll back some things in other areas. that is what we are going to have too watch very carefully. it's going to be slightly different sba that what we saw during the first trump term. >> we're going to need folks at agencies to make that happen pray there is a question. earlier a think they might have referred to as the great wave waivedthe threading retirement f federal employees it's talked about a lot. but wepl have not seen materialized yet. and jenny, i want to start with you. you think that is going to happen this time around? talk more about retention and recruitment challenges we arere going to sit federal agencies. and particularly how can contractors support agencies that are going through some of thischalle

youke of all sellers and no buyers. the stock market goes straight down, goes through the floor and to make it to the point where you have to close markets. circuit breakers or timeouts, you have to shut markets down. how quickly if at all you can reopen them. that's what human nature does. what we've done, , we've harnesd human nature to ai and when you look at the programs in ai, i always do people come and go to registered investment advisers or financial advisors and that's fine and they are trained and they got backgrounds and licenses. i'm not criticizing the industry. .... married? you have children. what's your net worth? what are your assets? what are your ambitions? when do you want to retire? you want a vineyard, a sailboat, or just a nice place to live? whatever. and they take that and and then they come back with a financial plan and the clients are, oh, well, this is wonderful. they ask me all about myself and came back with a great plan. what people don't realize is that they just put that information to

more than at that how do youk a change dr. behavior from how is going to handle evident he was dealing with going forward? >> our understanding was he saw the as kind of a point of no return, that the doctors did have some influence with the doctors did have influence with trump for a few weeks, convinced him to extend the shutdown for another 30 days, people were rallying, trying to do the right thing, he would say we are going to reopen, it doesn't work anymore but when he said fauci and the other doctors were stunned because it was the most overt way of dividing the country. it was we cannot come back from that. people in michigan storming the capital. it was everything, whether you wear a mask or not, there was no middle ground anymore. you wore a mask, socially distanced, it was time to go back to go back to normal. the can't run -- unite the country after that. is impossible to come back for that. didn't fully appreciate how much trump supporters hung on his every word. a lot of people didn't appreciate that. he knew a l

erwin i know this something youk study.houldn't turn the tables but i wonder where you stand on this question? >> i have a question to ask you. my question that i will answer your question. ask the question i want to ask you, there is issue now there has to be constitutional protection for false speech. so there's a breathing space for speech to survive. the supreme court in subsequent cases press the protection of falseen speech. given how much you have cooked i don't think so. i think on that particular point the supreme court has evolved thinking about false speech rethinking a case in 2012 gun united states versus alvarez. it's a very case about a guy who lied about one a congressional medal. the court in a divided opinion said this law cannot be enforced against this person. along with the court did a lot of interesting things. one of those was a certain kind of false speech whether there is a compelling government interest get a fun stand, take an oath to tell the truth and you live. proven your light you can be subje

the thing about healthcare is you don't think about it and until youke have too.on't wake up thinking maybe in a few years i'll need a colonoscopy because by what i? they don't think about abortion what the law is, how to find it, what it means to get an abortion until the absolute must. >> talk about abortion bonds which i think it is something else -- that are out there that people don't know about. >> it is so striking to me how important abortion funds are and how few people know about them. they are the small nonprofit often very, very low staff organizations. they take money in that they get from donors and some of them focus on the cost of travel but some focus on the cost of the procedure. some of them partner with clinics. they basically help undercut this immense financial barrier that is always existed but especiallyeo now for people seeking abortions. they play a critical role. they are also really, really struggling at the moment. there is so much more demand. travel is expensive it's becoming more expensive as people of further to go. after dobbs lun

and early 1970s and even until the eighties, you know, kind of there was kind this knowledge about, youk, but there wasn't the tools to really look inside. there was an explosion. there was a true scientific explosionout genetics that period of time. and so it just with their theory before they could actually kind of look inside genes and find out. so so again, it kind of gets back to that is so fascinating that that we thinkq a straight line. and we think that it happens like this. but often you have to have a bunch of things all come together. and it wasn't heere were other pioneers that started looking at genetics. and i think it was the collectiwl to come together in the seventies and eighties, finally their breakthrough findings. t in your own, which i think helps illustrate why this is so challenging for researchers too, is that aft your mom passed away, it was like more than a another incident where popped up in your family. so i think, you know, like as were doing research did learn a little bit more about yoow now you know why some pe the mutation of course why they may get a di

is what we ended up with with chinese spy balloon last year which is if you turn thed] differently, youk country. and we sent up the world's most advanced fighter jet to shoot it all down with, a quarter million dollar missiles a shot down. one of the things we shot down was a hobbyist balloon from, the northern illinois balloon meteorology. that just we didn't know was up there and. then you get into sort of two other categories that i think are the real interesting stuff, which is meteorological, atmospheric and phenomenon thate don't understand yet. butlessons of science of the lat couple of year, the last few decades, is that we should be really humble about our understanding the world and the world is probably much weirder than we think it is. and we, i think, have a bias that we understand a lot more of the world than we actually do. and then when you begin to go back, you realize how just how much of our knowledge is really new. you know, george washington lived and died not knowing dinosaurs existed until. 47. the gorilla by western science was considered a mythical creature akin

i wasas either knocked down or fell down on my own because sometimes you fall down on your own, youkee bad decisions ad i make mistakes. but, there is always somebody to get me up. there is always a learning that comes from it. eventually, you will understand the why, sometimes you won't, butd sometimes you will get a learning out of it and you will go, okay. that will help you for the next leg of the journey. some of this stuff is a set up. some of the things i went through leading up to cancer was a set up to help me actually get to the point where i can survive cancer. some of the things that happened in my life around job moves and creating communities and relationships, all of that led up to be me making it through it. then, of course, i am rooted in the bible. i try my best, lord knows i am not a saint by any means, trust me, but i try to internalize the word of god and to know that all things work together for good. called according to his purpose. ive believe that everything is r his good and i just have to get through it. trust him, rely on community, rely on people, rely on
