i started off with john cato fairbank, who was the foremost american historian on china. ian his wife both served in china during world war ii ii. he was a professor at harvard. when he basically outlined in how he gotide is started. believe it or not, there was a pivot to asia before november of 2011, when the soon not to be president clinton announced it during the obama administration. a pacific see, we are power great manifest destiny did not stop in san francisco, it kept going. with alaska, the opening up of japan, and 10 years before the opening up of japan, the united states made their first treaty with china. most-favored-nation extraterritoriality for american .usinessman that were in china and you can see this next slide, the united states navy was in china for a long time. we were patrolling the internal 1854. of china in now i wanted to do this prelude but i did not want to start with the boxer rebellion without but we just arrived that day. we all intents and purposes, actually start trading with china with this shift, the empress of china in 1784. ships, th

i was living in fairbanks at the time. i was a high school student. i graduated just out of -- just going into college there. obviously, that was my town, and in my town now all of a sudden you had people from louisiana and texas and oklahoma. i can remember seeing guys in cowboy boots in fairbanks in the winter on the ice, thinking these guys are going to figure out how to change their foot footwear. but we -- we worked to welcome these people who were there, to really help make a difference. but it was -- there were pressures on our community. you couldn't find a hotel room. you couldn't find a rental car. it was hard for the grocery stores to keep the shelves stocked in many of the towns. we saw significant investment in our communities in many different ways. there were a lot of wild stories and tales, some which are appropriate to tell years afterwards. some that still keep us smiling but we don't talk too much about them. but many, many good stories out there. i am -- i am proud. i'm proud of this extraordinary infrastructure that we have in ala

alaska's six times -- six-team league includes two teams in anchorage, one in fairbanks, one in palmer and one in eagle river, a picturesque area about 20 minutes from anchorage nestled in the mountains. it's part of anchorage by very much its own place with a sense of pride and people who live there like lee. let me tell you a little bit about lee jordan, madam president. leap was originally from -- lee was originally from alabama where football, not baseball, was king. when he enlisted in the army in 1947, his choice of overseas assignments was, according to him, anyplace but alaska. but he got alaska, and he stayed and he loved it. and he settled in eagle river. before long he owned the local newspaper, the "alaska star." now the cugiayak eagle river star and coaching his son's little league baseball team. when that got too old for little league, he began to form new leagues for him to play in. when his boys did. eventually his sons got too old for all the leagues but lee kept up the love for the game. then he and former state senator bill staltz, a good friend of mine and another h

he's in fairbanks, alaska. go ahead. caller: yes, this is scary. to p will now have coverage get his agenda through. and discredits the resistance against him. and we have to be very concerned about who's in charge of our government right now because military industrial complex is more powerful now than it has ever been. i just think that we are at a very delicate stage and if we can't begin to root them out, the real enemies lie at langley and the pentagon and we have to be able to recognize that. and also i want to talk real quick about nancy pelosi's little sermon she gave up there. as a non-christian, i certainly don't appreciate having hear that from a capitol hill podium. religious fundamentalism is part of the reason that we have a man like donald trump in the white house. do god's will. we need to do that will. thank you. host: florida, next up, nicholas. go ahead. democrats' line. caller: yes, good morning. i have been watching the thing all morning. and what i seem to not understand when the republicans call in is that they're saying it's

i think overall we have outstanding men and women, at least in my state, in anchorage and fairbanks, throughout the entire state. so i think addressing morale issues, as you say, you're a young agency, will be really important. any sense on that? i know you have to get on the ground and get on that, but any sense right now on how you want to do that? >> yes, sir, i think it is critically important. my sense right now and based on my experience in the coast guard is i think it is critically important that the top leadership of an organization interact with, understand, walk in the shoes of their front line employees. it is important that those front line employees know you have their back. you're providing them guidance. you want to seek their input as to how you do -- you know, what kind of guidance should we provide you to do your job. when they perform their job according to guidance you provided, you stand behind those individuals. always you know, sir, going through the check lines, everything is captured on video. >> yes. >> oftentimes, i assume that the tsa officers have follow

couple times a week and we have utstanding men and women, at least in my state in anchorage and fairbanks throughout the entire state. i think ddressing morale issues as you say your young agency of i. know you have to get a sense for these right now and you want to do that. >> i think it's critically mportant to make sense right now and experience in the coast guard the coast guard is that it's critically important that the top leadership of an organization understand, walk in the shoes of their front-line employees. it's important for front-line employees know you have their back. you provide some guidance, seek their input as how you do your job paid when they perform the job, you stand behind those individuals. as ou know, everything is captured the officers have all the guidance provided to be properly backed up by the leadership throughout. for me it would be showing keen interest in what they are doing. when i was in the coast guard i spent the majority of my time in the field trying to understand how the mission was performing. and more perfected hat performing at. >> great. that'
