working on it as a lieutenant governor when i dealt as a senator and beginning in 1988 with jim hanson's first testimony and all the way now with our secretary of state and we china aboardinging as a partner in order to achieve something. clash e is a complete here between reasonableness and knee jerk d a ideologically driven process conflicts toward versus a resolution of these issues. you cannot resolve any one of those issues i just put on the table, from covid to the climate, without multilateral engagement, leadership from the united states, and china and the united states actually cooperating with each other. everything else will not happen. so we've got to get about the business of putting that strategy back together and dealing with the realities of an interconnected world where there's a real linkage between covid-19 and the climate crisis. covid-19 saw our president, at first, for a month or so, call it a democratic hoax. he still, until recent days, crisis a climate chinese hoax. and the threat that was over the horizon, which generals and admirals and scientists and coming at

hanson appeared on her author interview program "after words" on 2018 and spoke with former republican congressman dave of virginia. >> i think in the deep state a permanent class of federal and state and local workers who feel they are exempt from public accountability through civil service or union and they had resources of the state so they want to regulate a farmer or they want to sue a coal company, they have the memes to bankrupt the person. or if there are federal prosecutor and say will bring in front of the liberal washington, d.c. jury entire you up for years and less should make to this, this, this as we saw with the mueller, that's the deep state, they tend to be progressive only in the sense that the ideology of making them bigger and given the more power is democratic and leftist. that is one of the reasons they hated trump, you mentioned the names but i feel like him and alter universe, james cropper went before a congressional committee and under oath he swore the united states was not intercepting communication of practices then he said i lied, i gave the least untruth

we've got the cases of kevin mallory, we've got ron hanson, got a number of these cases that are nowbeing prosecuted. is this an up-tick or do we know more now and are paying more attention to activities by chinese intelligence? i'll start with you and if you have any thoughts. >> i think there are -- seems to be definitely an up-tick in the number of cases and this seems to be driven in part by china's specific effort to get a lot of information about american government employees, like the opm breach, get a lot of information and combine with that credit card information that they get, financial information, they know who to target. all the people you mentioned had financial problems and were specifically targeted with offers of cash, and so i think there's been a really big concern that china's gotten better about figuring out what the pressure points are in the system and who might be vulnerable, but i don't think they can draw a very clear distinction between the two. >> i would put it down to more aggression, more money, and more sophistication and certainly the-- it's been a f

abolitionist and we'll take this and we'll fight for women next and there were people like elizabeth katie hanson and susan b. anthony who said if we don't get this now and we can't support the 15th amendment if it doesn't include women. so it was a huge split. and they started tearing -- formed competing organizations and tore each other down in the press. but also they continued on two separate avenues for getting passed. with the stanton and anthony fashion pushing the federal amendment and the stone howe blackwell faction pushing a state by state strategy. because the reconstruction amendments had been hailed as former overreach by the former confederacy so this was considered safer. it is not crazy to go state by state. if enough states pass suffrage you have more men supporting it that it becomes inevitable. the amendment has languished just after the civil war. so the 1913 march on the white horse, there was a big old banner that said we demand a constitutional amendmenten franchising the women of this country and that is called the great demand banner and you could see it at belmont paul.

i think at one point chief hanson had to inform the public that we had to stop the centralized food distributionverybody was bringing food to the site which became a major health hazard to the rescuers. there was one task force that two-thirds of the task force had -- came down with diarrhea and we believe that that was due to all of the food that -- around the site that may have become contaminated. so, again, yes, we really had to be careful with the request and funnel those requests through the chain of command. >> be careful what you wish more. you might get it. and one of the things that public works does, fuel trucks, taking care of those nonemergency needs that the emergency responders might have. anything that you would change after what occurred in oklahoma city. >>? i don't think so. as far as that is concerned. because any time we needed anything, we would be covered up with it. the fire department had indicated one night they needed temporary wiring to light up a parking garage and so i went to the electric company and said, hey, can you help me on this issue and they said no, we've
