we've said north dakota is not a state that we'll get involved in and other states, as well. the political analysis to the politicians and the pundit, but we're taking stands based on principle and more than principle on the understanding that the prosperity of this nation and the individual americans are at stake and we've reached out to democrats. we've actually thanked individual members of the senate and heidi heitkamp and others and the senator from north dakota for making good votes. she and other democrats supported the gorsuch nomination and three, to be exact, we thanked them for that. we thanked them when they stood and did the right thing on the dodd-frank vote. we thanked them when they do the right things on issues and we want to be consistent on that. >> all right. tim phillips, president for americans for prosperity. thank you so much for joining us. >> sure. >>> now we turn to social media which continues to add uncertainty to elections as bad actors use facebook to manipulate public opinion. facebook just announced that they have purged more than 30 accounts

one of the leaders of the ogallala dakota was ogallala dakota and his father was brutally indian. in early life he became a chief. he became a war chief but much of this was in conflict with other indian groups on the northern plains, part of an elaborate traumatic situation. but then the united states arrived. increasingly attempted to assert its authority, its sovereignty. the result is a war between the united states and the ogallala lakota. as red cloud and other leaders like him face the entire might of the u.s. at first the indians are winning. it's land they know, they are better organized, there better medicated -- automated and have much better local knowledge. this is very much like the circumstance i described in the 1790s as the united states recently organized by the constitution came into conflict with the indians of the eastern woodlands who themselves had recently organized in response -- in response to the threat from the u.s., and in that the u.s. suffered initial defeat. bless you. you're welcome. only to organize resources and mobilize all the authority of the

north dakota. flint. ferguson equals the bundy ranch in nevada.e found at some level people are angry at government. at washington or flint or why people get blasted in the streets. why you why you pay and you pay and you pay and you find your life and your lifestyle slipping away. that is what we found. if you feel that way you are not alone and you are the majority. don't lose each other. we are we are not each other's enemy. there is some responsibility don't burn stuff down. do not steamroll and we will be just fine. i would like to quote justice hugo black in his landmark decision your time versus united states of america in the pentagon papers and it turns out from truman to nixon they were lying. 35,000 men lost their lives to perpetuate their lie. so they printed the pentagon papers the supreme court said they are allowed to. but the press serves the government not the government and that is where we are living these days i think. the media shrinking. advertising money is consolidating but they won't push me around because i will walk righ

in north dakota the police are asking that high powered rifles be stored on school grounds meanwhile texas is jumping on the bandwagon of giving teachers guns we need our teachers to be armed we you know when you have when you're facing someone who's an active shooter the best way to take that shooter down that is with a gun but even better than that is four or five guns to one there's even talk of firearm training for preschool children it's something that we should think about america about putting guns in the hands of law abiding citizens whether they actually be talented children or how to train for a school or a three year old cannot defend itself from and so rifle by throwing a hello kitty pencil pasted it our founding fathers did not put an age limit on the second amendment this year the back to school sales aren't just pencils and notebooks parents are stocking up on body armor. in a matter of seconds. when you can lock a door with this it can get shot out you can't get around it how about arming school teachers know all right how about bulletproof backpacks. for mail i think

i will follow up on the north dakota hearing for small business. for whatever suggestions there were there. and i've always gone with the small business definition and will in this case of 50 employees or less. that's the obamacare model and the family leave model even though it's not paid. have any of you operated one of these small businesses? it's a simple yes or no. i have and there is some complications that come in particularly if you're in a very small town. you have very few employees and there is no temporary workforce. there is somebody that has to do the work. so i'm still trying to figure that out and i'd be interested in the north dakota approach to that. but my question to all three of you is how would the proposals work for a very small business in a small town where they don't have a temporary labor workforce. again, short answers because it's not much time. >> to the degree that a paid leave proposal helps women who have children remain attached to the prior employer, it could help them in a sense the employer would lose the employ

the presiding officer: the senator from south dakota. mr. thune: the senate is not in a quorum call, are we? the presiding officer: the senate is not in a quorum call. mr. thune: mr. president, in the wake of senator john mccain's passing, i was particularly moved by the announcement that in accordance with his wishes he'll be buried in the cemetery at the u.s. naval academy. it is a fitting resting place for someone whoing belonged in - who belonged to the united states navy and characteristic of him that in death he wished to rest with his comrades at arms. it was during his service at the navy that lieutenant mccain's plane was shot down over north vietnam. he was ejected and taken into captivity. during world war ii admiral chester nimitz noted that, and i quote, uncommon valor was a common virtue. end quote. the same can be said about the american soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines in the prison camps of north vietnam. john mccain joined their number in october of 1967. during the years of his confinement he was regularly beaten and
