up to now kentucky has never had an overwhelmed hospital.single surge that we've faced. we've had a mortality rate way below the national average. why? because we've been able to mask when necessary. we're not living in that reality right now. i hope the legislature will at least set parameters, whereby if we reach red, for instance, in the county on the cdc incident rate maps, that at least then something would trigger. let's not take away one of the best tools that we have to fight this virus. >> right now you have many counties that are in the red, as you're laying out. it is all through out kentucky at the moment. governor, thank you very much. we'll continue to follow what is going to be happening in the next couple days especially. thanks for your time. >> thank you. >>> turning to texas now, and the new reality setting in there. the legislature and the governor effectively banning all abortions. no exceptions for rape or incest. yesterday the governor was asked about that aspect of it. i want you to hear his response, one that both de

it's not across kentucky.s different, quite different than what we need in other counties. that's the reason. i would note that where we're seeing this spike is covid is from areas that have the lowest vaccination rate. i want to say very clearly to the people of kentucky, please go out and get your vaccines. in kentucky, 91% of the folks in the hospital who test positive are unvaccinated. the same number, 91% of people onunvaccinate. we're not going to mandate it in kentucky, but it's important to get the vaccine. that's the best thing to do. >> in place with, in a district with low vaccination rates, the only other defense are masks. hold on one second. i want to ask you, would you rather kids have to wear masks for some time in schools or for the school to shut down? that is what we're seeing across the country in places where kids don't have to wear masks, sometimes their schools shut down for a week or more so which one is better? >> right. you presented me with a false dichotomy. it's not either or. i do

we share the same priorities for the people of kentucky. hal would not be the man he is today without the love and support of his late wife shirley and their children, anthony, allison, and john. later in life, hal met and married cynthia, a tennessean who has also come to love kentucky and its people. so as hal breaks the record as the longest-serving u.s. representative in kentucky history, let us all give thanks to this great public servant and the entire rogers family. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mrs. fischer: madam president. the presiding officer: the senator from nebraska. mrs. fischer: are we in a quorum call? the presiding officer: we are. mrs. fischer: i'd ask it be vitiated please. the presiding officer: without objection. mrs. fischer: thank you, madam president. i have heard so many inspiring stories about how small businesses across the country adapted to covid-19 and refused to give up, even when the odds seemed overwhelming. max creek winery in lexington, nevada, is a great example. owne

i think kentucky poison control has had extra calls about this. governor beshear, are there just certain groups of people that aren't going to listen to you, and you have to acknowledge that and find other spokespeople to try to convince the unvaccinated to listen to public health? >> when it comes to misinformation, i really don't think this is a red or a bluish you. it is a fact versus fiction or sometimes sane versus insane issue. my first job in life was mucking stalls at a horse form. taking a horse dewormer is crazy under any circumstance. we are well past i think all across america the populations that are going to listen to a government official and take the vaccine because of it. we're probably past even the point where a local official, a pastor or others. where i think we're at is where people are going to have to break that thanksgiving dinner rule. they're going to have to call or go see that person they love and care about that is unvaccinated, and they're going to have to put their relationship with that person on the line because t

miguel markez is in kentucky this morning. put this in perspective for us. it's bad. it is as bad as its ever been. it is worse than it's ever been. cases are up, higher than in the winter time. hospitalizations are climbing rapidly. deaths are starting to climb as well. and that is -- that's the same old song that we've seep for so long. that the cases go up, the hospitalizations rise and then the deaths follow a short time after that. they're having a very difficult time getting ahold of this even though kentucky falls in the middle of vaccinations. it is about the total population, about 50% of the population here is vaccinated. so they're doing okay compared to other states. but that delta variant is just so contagious. it is making people very, very sick. we are in morehead kentucky at saintclair health care, a hospital staffed for 75 patients and they have on any given day 90 to over 100 patients. so their staff is way overwhelmed right now. the national guard is here helping out. federal task force is here as well helping out at this hospital. that te

it's astonishing how fast delta has surged in the state of kentucky. you're trying to deal with it, but you have been limited in your ability to do certain things by your republican legislature. what can you get done now to try to slow the surge in kentucky? >> well, our situation is dire. we're setting case records. we have a record number of kentuckians in the hospital battling covid, in the icu battling for their lives. we have a record number of families that are praying for their loved one who is on a ventilator, needing that assistance to breathe. recent supreme court case and our legislature limit my ability to do some things like masking. if i have the ability to do it right now, we would have a masking order when you are in public and indoors. we know that's a proven way to slow the spread of the virus, and ultimately help our health care capacity. but that doesn't mean there aren't things we can do. so i sent the national guard to our hardest hit hospitals. they do the logistics and free up more clinicians. we have taken over the testing for

i don't know if the senator from kentucky is questioning the wisdom of that, but it's a fact. the second thing it did was to provide a $1,400 payment, if you'll remember, that had been promised by president trump, and we completed and kept that promise with the american rescue plan. so dollar assistance to families across america, including working families, let me add, and also then came the child tax credits. it was the most extraordinary effort made by our government to help families raising children, cash payments through the end of this year. to argue that this is somehow a tax on working families is to ignore the fact that it's the biggest tax break in the history of this country for working families. and how many republicans supported us for the $1,400 cash payment to families, for the plan to administer the vaccine across america, for the help for families with children, for more assistance with is abouts? not one -- assistance for businesses? not one. not one in support of the american rescue plan. to hear theory seek that was given just a few minutes ago by the repub
