is south dakota doing anything like that? or what is south dakota doing prepare for an influx in patients? governor noem: that's something our state department of health is doing right now, a needs assessment and surge assessment, with all our local providers, and the resources we have in every community. i'll let kim give you more details on that >> thank you, governor. as the governor indicated, we are assessing that surge capacity as well as looking at other resources within communities that can be of assistance if our demand exceeds the potential surge in those communities. we're looking at all options on the table and looking at current facilities as well. so we're looking to have more to report on that soon. governor noem: if you remember my executive order i talked about elective surgery beings postponed. that will free up a percentage of beds for beds that may be necessary for covid-19 impact. but we also have other resources in the state we could stand up in partnership with utilizing what the national guard can offe

so the people of south dakota knew what was coming. we were very honest with them, told them how to prepare, and what they needed to do personally to protect themselves and their families. so when it came time to really limit and enact the social distancing policies, they were ready. and we do have more populated areas. we also have some pretty rural areas where it is not that difficult. but in our populated cities, you know, there's always that bad actor or two, but all in all, the people are following through, and making sure they are taking responsibility for their communities. cheryl: do you feel that your medical system is ready, if there is a surge in cases, god forbid in south dakota? are you confident in the hospital system there? >> we've been talking to them for months already too, and what this has done by slowing down our infection rates has allowed them time to prepare. they are in a very good place today. we're talking on a regular basis, almost daily with our department of health and emergency operations center. they are

the senate majority whip, senator john thune of south dakota, is thrasecond highest ing republican in the senate and joins us from capitol hill. thank you very much for being with us. tell us, where do these negotiations stand westmark sen. coons: -- >>he are in the final stages an we have said this for some time, but i' hopeful we are driving to a conclusion. they are still debating a couple of the issues that are not totally resolved yet, but i'm hoping they can wrap it up tonight. there's a possibility i suppose we could vote this evening, but one way or the other, we need to gee.it done as soon as possi i think we are getting a lot closer,at but it's unfort that we are several days into this and in my view it should have been done a fdy days ago. we have been hearing they since yesterday.number o what can you say about what the holdup is? sen. thune: i thi there are several issues that have been -- that are still being negotiated. one has to do with the fundha is available for businesses to get access to loan capital to help provide liquidity for businesses and what businesses sho

i know that we're tracking every day the numbers in south dakota, where they are, whether there's been community spreknad, yow, what the likelihood is that we're going to be dealing w significant issues in our hospitals in the near distant future. so those are all questions i think that you are asking when you're looking at when is it t going to be sa go outside again. and i think for right now we need to consult with an listen to the medical professionals,th healthcare experts out there who have been following this, tracking it, looking at tht data, coming to conclusion, analyzing every aspect of it. t we certainly don't want to obviously put anbody in peril or at risk until, you know, i think we need to get this thing completely dealt with before we >> woodruff: well, i'm asking because the president sounds like it's a priority for him, and yet just lae this afternoon and just minutes ago i saw tht dr. deborah birx, who is the coordinator of the white house task foron coronavirus, is saying anybody who has been in new york city needs to self-quarantine for the nex14 days. there are s

dakota, but fresh out of iowa i soon found myself in south dakota here in sioux falls and they kept mentioning about this young rising young democratic politician, out in south dakota named george mcgovern area i had never heard of large mcgovern and he was a debate coach at dakota west as you know and he was about to run for the house against job loss, the world war ii flying ace. >> afl commissioner. >> and he one, too. so that was a small advantage that i had. tim krause said to me later he said, sometimes we will have totalk about what it was like to cover mcgovern in the earlier days . we never had that talk alas . but one way that mcgovern did campaign better, the ub bureau in sioux falls on the fifth floor of a rundown office building, the elevator didn't start running until something like 8:00 and i had to file the weather and every morning during thecampaign , many mornings during the campaign, george mcgovern went up those five floors without an elevator and stopped by with a handout that he probably had written and typed himself. before going off to a sailboat or whatever

i can think by collect from south dakota. i think senator durbin for working with me on this project and my hope is we can see a change in our senate rules come out of this process so that we can have the ability to do our constitutional duties, regardless of what's happening with regard to the national capital, or crisis as we've curtly face with covid-19. and i yield back my time. >> madam president? >> the majority whip. >> madam president, yesterday the senate passed the families first coronavirus response act which is bipartisan legislation that will provide critical relief to american workers can families and small businesses. two weeks ago the senate as the first phase of coronavirus response and that was $8.3 trillion in funding for coronavirus research, testing and medical care. so yes please bill yes, this bill was the second phase of that response. the families first coronavirus response act will ensure that all americans can't access coronavirus testing at no cost. the bill also ensures expanded telehealth access

that seems to be the case in south dakota. governor, thank you for taking the time. >> well, i told the people of south dakota that we can bend the curve. really, make sure that we are taking care of people. we know that we are in a good situation today. that's going to get more difficult in the coming weeks. but whatever plan we pursue, we are going to have to sustain. we are going to have to do it for not just a week or two, we are going to have to do it for months. i wanted one that we could be successful at. >> neil: so, explain how it differs from some of these other mandatory stay-at-home programs that some of your fellow governors have instituted. >> we have faced every single decision on facts and science. i told the people that we were going to follow the social distancing protocols. we are going to practice good hygiene. if they don't feel well, they will stay home and call their doctor. you're also not going to mandate that businesses close, but we are going to tell them to innovate, to figure out new ways to take c

so again i think my colleagues from sent south dakota. and my hope is that we can see it changed in recent rules coming out of this process so that we can have the ability to do our constitutional duties regardless of what is happening with the national capital or crises as we is currently faced with covid-19. and i yelled back my time. madam president. >> yesterday the senate passed the families first coronavirus response act which is bipartisan legislation that will abide critical relief to american workers and small businesses. in two weeks ago, the senate capped the first phase of the coronavirus response was $8.3 billion for the research testing and medical care. in yesterday's mail was the second phase of that response. and the families first coronavirus response act will ensure that all americans can access coronavirus testing at nl cost. the bill also ensures expanded telehealth access to medicare recipients during an outbreak which i strongly support. as a residence of a rural state i logged in as a supportive telehealth for the

the presiding officer: the senator from south dakota. mr. rounds: thank you, mr. president. first let me say thank you to my colleague, the former governor of virginia and the senator from virginia now. as a former governor, we have a real interest in making sure that there is a good, cooperative spirit between the federal government and state governments. but this evening as we've gone through an entire day which is rather unusual in the senate to have one senator speaking after another, with others here, at a time in which we should be exercising separation, as they say, to have had as many colleagues on the floor shows just how serious the united states senate is taking this issue. perhaps the frustration laid out by members of my conference is that we really want this to move forward as quickly as possible and we understand that it's very difficult to put together the resources in order to buy those additional pieces of equipment that our friend from colorado laid out unless we have a long-term plan here in which to also pay for it. and what i'd like to do is share a lit

the presiding officer: the senior senator from south dakota. mr. thune: mr. president, we don't have the luxury of time here. i think we all know that. certainly the american people know it. they can see it sort of just unfolding right in front of them. we've got small businesses that are shutting down which, of course, affects the people who work there. we've got health care systems that have tremendous needs and obviously they're on the front lines of fighting the coronavirus. we continue to try and make progress on a piece of legislation that really should have been proceeded to today. the vote we had earlier today was a procedural vote. it was basically are we going to get on the bill. what you saw was the democrats object to even getting on the bill. obviously as the leader pointed out, once you're on the bill, you have 30 hours if you choose to use it in which to continue to discuss and debate, and if there are things that they are continuing to work on, certainly they could have that opportunity to do that. but the vote today which you saw the democrat

of south dakota tested positive for the coronavirus. obviously something we wanted to avoid, but we knew it was a possibility and we spent weeks preparing for an outbreak. over the next few days public health officials will be checking where these individuals have been so anyone who came in contact can be notified. my staff and i are working closely with the governor and her team and i will continue to carefully monitor this situation. at the federal level, i'm focused on making sure that state and local governments have the resources they need to deal with the virus. last week i was proud of to support bipartisan legislation committing significant federal resources to the coronavirus fight. madam president, i'm praying for all of the south dakotans who are affected by the virus, and i want to thank the health care workers who are on the front lines of this fight. we are lucky to have you. madam president, i'm disappointed that the senate failed to move forward on the american energy innovation act this week. this is a bipartisan piece

the presiding officer: the senator from south dakota. mr. rounds: madam president, i ask unanimous consent that when the senate completes its business today, it adjourn until 10:00 a.m., wednesday, march 18. further, that following the prayer and pledge, the morning hour be deemed expired, the journal of proceedings be approved to date, the time for the two leaders be reserved for their use later in the day, and morning business be closed. finally, following leader remarks, the senate be in a period of morning business with senators permitted to speak therein for up to ten minutes each. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. rounds: if there is no further business to come before the senate, i ask that it stand adjourned under the previous order. the presiding officer: the the presiding officer: the to help those affected by the outbreak. watch live coverage when the senate returns on c-span2. >> returning to the programming on booktv. >> the airlift to watch their bodies turn into timebombs with a heart attack at their jobs and leave

he went to work on doubters like the senator from south dakota and kentucky. he alaid their fears the president would have unprecedented power. nelson wanted to introduce an amendment to avoid a direct military movement. he told nelson it's su per few louse. nelson to his ever lasting regret dropped his amendment. the senate approved the resolution. the house of representatives passed it unanimously. the language granted the president extraordinary latit e latitude. the congress approves and supports the deposition of the president to take all necessary measures to repeal any armed attack against the united states and prevent further aggression. wayne morris my hero stated afterwards to a virtually empty hall -- he's holding forth to the ether. he said we're giving this president war making powers in the absence of the declaration of war. i believe this to be an historic mistake. the other guy who voted against the resolution said all vietnam is not worth the life of a single american boy. johnson said of the resolution it's like grandma's nighty. it covers ev

i come from a reservation in south dakota. we are not given the same's rights as the american people we don't have a physical address to vote. my point being, this system is broke and no one is fixing it. we have those held up in by mitch mcconnell, they are taking money from russia. we should not have interference in the one democracy that our founding fathers and a lot of my native american babel and founded for this country. the stand up and start realizing that just to get worse.th it's been five i fully agree with the caller, congress is a most polarized we've seen in history and also one of the reasons why we have not passed effective legislation to deal with foreign interference. it's also why we are show concerned about 2020 because it is still an open playing ngfield. even the there is a massive attack in 2016 they carried out on the united states elections have not been severe enough to deter future kinds of interference. >> host: here is a tweets with this comment can the guest please comment on missus hill's about

but not the best a half hour south dakota most sought after i don't miss our models that look like this the ones made out of hard plastic that they're always on the phone and but i collect a mix of bottles of it like that but i haven't found many yet i don't have. evidentially death sunny is also leaving its mark in tanzania. by working 8 hours a day much i can collect up to 20 kilos or bottles at $250.00 shillings a keynote that's $0.10 she earns less than 2 year olds and that's on a good day. for . him as someone who did i do this to earn a bit of money but you don't believe for a 2nd that you can make a living from this that doesn't do still that is i spend a lot of time doing it and as the past few years have been difficult the prices have dropped a lot and i need to find the gaps are going to come up. why the price is down to less because there's too much plastic. too much plastic and too many people like mata who connect empty bottles just to scrape by. to bear witness to the most unsustainable side of this savage recycling economy we had. the largest tape in the land dar es salaa

george mcgovern presidential candidate from south dakota said during the vietnam war we cannot plead be the placement around the world which is true it to his great credit president trump has been job owning others who have benefited decades from the american nuclear umbrella to pay more and provide more troops in their own defense and that's a good thing certainly he is on the right path on that issue. >> in your book you go through eight empires which the parallel between the ottoman empires but what do you see that is similar? >> human nature never changes you cannot change the human nature greed and envy, entitlement, sexual pleasure, military overreach what they call the seven deadly sins you cannot teach them nation are so the point of the book looking at the history of these superpowers is to say you had emperors and all these other titles and people dressed differently but they all suffered from the same internal dysfunction if we don't learn from this, this is why a sense of the transcendent to be accountable to god is important for the extension of life of any nation. >> yo

depending on what year it was, south dakota, there've been periods where june, the last primary is held on the first week of june, heck of a lot closer to the conventions and they're going to be this year. what it does do is clearly distorts the outcome, older voters may be less inclined to vote, we really don't know. >> bill: i think that's the answer, we don't know. carl, thank you, the trump administration running full court press to the virus pandemic. in a moment the surgeon general live from the white house, he is my guest after this. he's a musical there are ordinary eggs... and the best. which egg tastes more farm-fresh and delicious? only eggland's best. with more vitamins d and e and 25% less saturated fat? only eggland's best. better taste, better nutrition, better eggs. >> bill: breaking news from a moment ago, e.u. moving to tighten its borders, the president of the european commission asking leaders to ban all nonessential travel to the e.u. president emmanuel macron putting france on a lockdown. the french may leave their homes only to buy food, go to work, get medical ca

we are also told here that john thune, the republican whip from south dakota, he's not present tonight. he was not feeling well. they say that he is self monitoring, they did not indicate -- his office did not indicate that he was self quarantining but he's going back to south dakota. it just gives you a sense of what it's like you're on capitol hill as they try to get this bill through and they fit having this attrition with senators getting sick and self quarantining. it has to go to the house maybe not tomorrow but perhaps friday, shannon. >> shannon: all right, chad pergram, we will stick with you through the night as we finally get to a vote and certainly anyone who speaks live afterwards to explain what they've just done and comment on that. thank you. i want to quickly return to our doctors and get a comment from them about dr. birx saying listen, we don't know the payoff right now, it will take some time to see if the social distancing works but so far it looks like there are positive signs. very quick comment from you both, start with you. >> you know, social distancing helps.

and also i was flying to south dakota on and realizing that people were wearing gloves and masks in the airport, i realize that, you know, the hospital is probably the most concentrated population of covid-19 patients. and our staff are not adequately prepared or equipped. so i started thinking we're at risk of hurting ourselves, our family and the community and so as a result i did send a letter to our administrators stating my concern. i didn't get a response so therefore i went to social media. >> what were you told when you raised your concerns, you didn't get any kind of response? >> well, i got no response therefore that's why i went to social media. and then you know, after social media i got, i would say, i'm not going to be very specific about this. we can come up with this later. i got some response saying we need to talk, i need to recant and i should consider certain things such as resign g resigning. i felt vulnerable at that point. and so, then i got -- >> -- forgive me -- for interrupting, i don't mean to do so but he do want to ask you has your hospital made any change t

we should know two people have died of the virus in florida and new jersey, south dakota, and georgia each have one coronavirus death each. tucker? >> tucker: trace gallagher, thanks for that. the global death total of the chinese coronavirus it's at almost 5,000 people, that's the official number. in iran, the officials have not even come from the total of 500 deaths, that's what they are claiming. satellite images suggest that authorities are making massive changes there to hold massive victims, but they are the only people who live. never forget how we got here for this pandemic came out of china and it came out of china for a reason, it's 8th down the country with poor health practices, it could have stopped before it spread out of control. the outbreak may have begun not in a public meat market but in a poorly lunch chinese laboratory. that is not our theory, anybody who raises the theory is a conspiracy monger! but this is now the theory coming from a now censored chinese paper. a draft paper, scientists at the south began at the wuhan centers for disease control where the anima

california after that with fort, then you have kansas, georgia, south dakota and new jersey has one and florida has had two deaths so far. the total number of cases in the u.s. right now stands at 1,629. the declared a national emergency, that frees up billions of dollars in federal funds but it also frees up federal resources in terms of personnel, it puts fema the federal agency in charge of disaster response in a position to coordinate. dhhs will still be the lead agency on this, but under the stafford act which is what congress passed back in 1993, this is what really gives the federal government a leading role in the response now and it is for states who are overwhelmed is really what triggers the act. this is the point, this is the moment where trump can really use the federal resources to make an impact in how states deal with this on a local level. really, the last update sean is that the cruise lines, all cruise lines have suspended all of their activities now. those have been put on hold. every cruise line across this country, that would be a really bad place to be caught. for

joe biden predicted from day one that he would win south dakota and he has been proven correct his cufflinks have spoken. many of you guys don't know him and obama they ratified south carolina's estates and they also created the word ratify.

[laughter] i have some stuff from the ted nugent collection. kennedy: i love ted nugent when he can run for president customer so that's it 2024 ted nugent is the old enough? thirty-five? he's not old enough. another 30 years is still his oldest bernie. kennedy: as the democrats include nancy pelosi for the cameras today putting on a brave face and shiny set of teeth. promising to promising to stand by the primaries winter. >> unity, unity, unity, whoever i nominee is, we will support. with respect for his or her positions and hopefully with their respect for our positions as well. so, we have made a decision to win, and as i said to the members, if you make a decision to win, you have to make every subsequent decision to win. no friction, no nothing. jus

there you see washington, new jersey, south dakota, and georgia, 29 of those deaths coming in the state of washington. let's bring in our panel, josh holmes, mollie hemingway senior editor at "the federalist" and charles lane opinion writer for "the washington post." a lot has changed over the past couple of days and how the country has reacted, how this place, washington, d.c., has reacted -- and thoughts about this evolution that we have se seen? >> i love watching anthony fauci testify, admits if you feel like you can trust him. literally people are very concerned about what's happening now. it's good that people are concerned and they are changing their behavior in a public health crisis that requires changed behavior. what is more concerning i think is a lot of powers that be have not thought through the other issues with public health crises which is a serious damage to the economy can cause serious damage and i don't think people are thinking through as well as they could, it would be nice to see people be concerned about public health while also being concerned about not inducin
