i want to thank those south dakota national guard. i don't think everybody realizes every role that the national guard is filling for us here in south dakota these days. they are staffing at our emergency operations center. they have set up two alternate care facilities. they have 25 ambulance teams that are ready. 25 ground teams. but also four air support teams. their training for medical capability teams was yesterday. they have those teams ready to go when we should need them. they have call centers helping with contact tracing. they are ready to expand those if needed. contingency plans in place if we need food distribution. we knew they would be ready, they always are, but we don't want anyone to take for granted how blessed we are to have men and women in our national guard who continue to step up and continue to serve in every role they are in. we also have national nurses day today. our estimates day today shows that we have more than 10,000 nurses in south dakota including 350 that work for our state government. to keep ourh

federal, state, local, north dakota. thanks to all the people in north dakota. we relied a lot on individual responsibility, light touch from government and had great results. we are number two in the nation, we passed new york in terms of testing per capita. we tested over 6%. pres. trump: are you using different tests? you are in good shape with the testing? gov. burgum: this is all with the pcr, nucleic acid testing. it has been across a number of different platforms. it is an order of magnitude increase. and the fifth lowest positivity rate in the country. alaska and hawaii are ahead of us, but we have been right at the bottom in terms of that particular. pres. trump: what do you attribute that to? being a good governor, right? gov. burgum: geography helps. the people in the state help. those few things. we took early action to try to reduce transmissible moments. we kept to 93% of the jobs in the state open. the 7% we closed were bars, restaurants, personal care businesses. all construction, energy, and, including all elective surgery, we kept that going. w

two days later in the south dakota report, it's not nearly so stern. quote, the facial covering should be discarded and replaced when dirty or wet if possible. do that if possible. but, you know. the colorado plant, april 20th, was told stagger breaks to minimize the total number of workers that are in common areas at the same time. somehow two days later in south dakota, that guidance becomes, stagger shifts, start times and break times as much as feasible. >> in colorado, put hand washing stations near the outside break areas to encourage hand washing. two days later in the south dakota report, that plant was told, portable hand washing facilities could be utilized. they could be if you want. april 20th in colorado says this. physical barriers should not be used as a replacement for maintaining at least six feet between workers. however, when that is not possible, barriers can be installed. two days later in south dakota, the cdc was feeling a little different about that. telling that plant to, quote, consider the following actions to physically sepa

that's over 15% of the adult work force of all of dakota city, nebraska. it's amazing what happens when you test for it. even if your governor chooses not to believe it's happening. this was a protest today in lebanon county, pennsylvania. where people who work at the huge local bell and evans chicken plant say that multiple workers at that facility have died from coronavirus already. that bell and evans plant has released zero public information about coronavirus cases among its employees. they won't even address whether any of their employees have died from it. and so today, that earned them a mock funeral procession around the plant to try to get someone's attention. our government's response to this is terrible. but we can all see the places that need attention. not looking is not a safe way to hide this stuff. and on that point, we have an exclusive story, we have not seen anywhere else, we think we dug up something that might be important, and we got that story here, exclusively, next. in this time of social distancing, when taking a break from every

amy: standoff in south dakota. the cheyenne river sioux and oglala sioux tribes erect checkpoints to protect against the coronavirus entering their communities, which they say are not equipped to handle an outbreak. the south dakota governor orders them removed. the checkpoints are still up. we'll get an update from cheyenne riviver sioux tribe chairman harold frazier. then to chicago, where "covid-19 took black lives first. it didn't have to." >> whehether it is d diabetes, t disease,e, upper respiratory illns -- the kind of things we have been talking about for a long time that plague black chicago that lead to life expectancy gaps. this virus attacks those underlying conditions with a vengeance. amy: 70 of chicago's 100 first recorded victims were black. we will speak with pulitzer prize winning reporter adriana gallardo about the victims she documented, and we'll meet people she profiled in her piece "los new yorkers: essential and underprotected in the pandemic's epicenter." >> yes, we need money but there is

my request is for those in south dakota and that area to continue to be smart. to practice social distancing. to wash her hands. stay home when you are sick and to remember that we are going to be doing this for many more weeks. this is a marathon. it is not a sprint. i wanted to take the opportunity today to have the secretary of health visit a little bit about the work they are doing in aberdeen. i think it has been a helpful, cooperative effort. it would be good for her to share a few details about what is going on in that area. >> thank you, governor. from time to time, we have updated folks on the number of cases we have associated with employees of the beef plant in aberdeen. that stands at 76 cases that we have over the past three and a half weeks. when we first saw cases with this employer, we reached out. the management has been excellent to work with. we were able to get a team to aberdeen on a friday night and walk through the facility. talk through some of the plans management had to keep people safe. for us to get a better sense of their practices a

i would like to thank my friend from north dakota. it's great to hear stories from his great state and see how they're helping each other, coming to each other's benefit and really as somebody represents a state u.s. agriculture are not in the dimensions that senator hoeven does it's wonderful to see how the act community has stepped up not just for his date but for the rest of the country and we are very, very grateful for that. we seen so many people across this country stepping in and so many major ways. i i often describe my state of west virginia as one big small-town year we always help each other in times of need whether we know the person or not. the floods of 2016 i think were very good example of that and i call it our west virginia spirit, and there's no question it is helpless to some very difficult times like the time we are facing right now. every day, every day each of us, and i certainly am no exception, hear stories about how someone or some group has stepped up to the plate to go above and beyond to help their commun

cnn's sara sidner is live in timberlake, south dakota, with more. what is the latest on this, sara?>> reporter: the tribes here are saying they absolutely will not take down their checkpoints. and the governor is insisting that they must because she says these are state roads governed by the state and federal roads governed by the federal government. the tribe isn't buying it and saying they're doing these checkpoints for one reason, alisyn, and that is to keep their people safe. >> no fever or cough or shortness of breath. >> reporter: no, don't have any of those things. the tribe says this is their front line in the battle against coronavirus. if you want to enter their lands in south dakota, you'll have to answer some questions at their checkpoints. >> have you traveled to or from an area with covid-19 cases. >> reporter: if you don't answer correctly, unless you're engaging in essential activity, you could be turned away or tracked closely and quarantined if you have a reason to stay on the reservation. >> we love our people. you can't replace a human life. and so that's all we'

national cemetery in north dakota. we worked to secure this cemetery because its presence allows north dakotans who have served to be laid to rest with honor while being close enough to their homes for family and loved ones to visit and pay their respects to our heroes. the new cemetery complements the north dakota veterans cemetery in mandan operated by the state. to help support maintenance and operations, i'm helping introduce a bipartisan bill, bipartisan legislation, the veterans cemetery grants improvement act with senators tester, rounds, and reed, so that state-operated veterans cemeteries receive the funding they need to ensure that all of our veterans can be laid to rest closer to their loved ones. our service members and their families have given much in defense of our nation and our way of life. in the state of north dakota especially has a rich tradition of military service. with deepest appreciation and admiration, we look to the meaning of their service never forget to honor those who have passed and ext

alabama, texas, and south dakota among those seeing an uptick. in georgia, one of the earliest states to reopen, cases remain steady. with nearly every state scheduled to be partially open by the end of the week, americans are not convinced officials have the virus under control. more than half say the government is doing a poor job preventing the spread, according to a new cnn poll. while 52% believe the worst is still to come. >> i think we're only literally in that very, very early inning of this. and what's really concerning to me is we're not planning for what could be a large wave of cases. >> there is a real risk that you will trigger an outbreak that you may not be able to control. >> reporter: the union representing many workers at the nation's meat processing plants says 10,000 members have been infected or exposed to the virus. at least 30 have died. outbreaks and deaths at nursing homes and long term care facilities also a major source of concern. dr. anthony fauci noting tuesday the number of u.s. deaths may be far higher than the 80

you are in paris, south dakota right now.ere in new jersey, whenever did you go outside, you are supposed to wear a mask. and you have got to keep a distance. how does it look where you are because we know you have not had nearly the number of cases that we have but at the same time, you have got some very rationale and measured approaches to social distancing and responsible behavior. >> i think it depends on where you are in south dakota. i'm in pierre in the capital. and folks are running their essential errands. we have some folks going back to work that are still practicing social distancing in their workplace. so people are living their lives. although they do change their behaviors. and that's to protect other people as well as their families. they recognize that we do have folks that if they catch this virus, they will get very sick. and they are doing what's right for them. you get into our larger cities, you will see a lot more people wearing masks. a lot more of the vulnerable population is staying home. we appreci

trump: the governor of colorado and the governor of north dakota, two fellas working very hard, harderey thought they would have to work, two distinguished senators you know very much, senator gardner, who you know, and -- say hello, say hello. >> thank you. we appreciate the invitation and of course, appreciate all the support you are giving us and leadership of our governors. >> pres. trump: yeah, and that is what we're here for, to do that and to talk about, we just came up with a new list on testing, cracked 10 million tests, which is here. like to show that to everybody. 10 million. we set all-time record by far. if you look down here, these are other countries that have not done anywhere near what we're doing. we're double, if you add them up and double them, weave done more tests. i can't get the press to print that, unfortunately, they don't want to print it. i want to thank the governors, thank you very much, we appreciate it. we'll have good, fruitful talks about going even to the next step and i know you are trying to open up. i know you are opening up, more than trying, you

i yield the floor. >> i join my friend the senator from south dakota to say i'm glad to be back in this chamber doing the work and then the fellow senator from texas joining us as well and listening closely the senator from south dakota recitationth all the things they had to do and there is no shortage and there is no reason and then to crawl up in the fetal position then someone is supposed to be afraid to be outdoors. and then doctor burks we see them on tv and a nightly basis they tell us what we need to do to function safely with the grocery clerks and doctors and nurses and frankly law enforcement personnel. we know how to do this and do it safely but at the same time we cannot hide out and not show up for work. kind of message does that send to the american people there is the extraordinary crisis come unprecedented crisis and have done things we would never consider doing under normal times with $3 trillion at warp speed. frankly i think it's a great time for us to tap the brakes and consider what it is we have already done to make corrections anything that makes mistakes there

we had just become wyoming territory from dakota territory. we were here, and one of the reasons the legislature did it is they may needed to attract women's of the west. this was cowboys, railroad workers hammering out a railroad. we had the central pacific and from california, the union pacific, and it was. was fast and furious. we had crazy living conditions. the legislature wanted to attract those women to become and be part of this adventure so they gave them full rights. it was full voting rights, full holding property rights, full political office rights. there's no other state that can claim that. no other territory that can claim that. north dakota and utah like to believe they had the first woman voter, and and they may have, but they voted in restricted elections. wyoming women never had to do that. they were on the same terms with men, which is extraordinary. in here, we have maybe elizabeth cady stanton coming to the salon to listen about the defensive suffrage, because what happens, it was passed in 1869. in 1871, wyoming was get

from our last color is fargo, north dakota. is fromast caller fargo, north dakota. caller: just wanted to make a comment, governor. it is so refreshing to hear you tell the american people that or avirus is not democrat republican. it is getting to the point you cannot even watch the news. it is so bipartisan. it is out the window. it is so refreshing to hear you talk. it sounds like you are doing a great job in your state as ours is in north dakota. you are to be praised for the job you are doing. thank you. guest: will thank you. that is very kind. north dakota -- i know they are doing very well. i applaud you all. outerms of what this brings in americans, i love to see the compassion. i love to see trung to take care of neighbors even though -- to see trying to take care of neighbors even though we are isolated and trying to help struggling businesses. anytime you have a crisis like this, it does bring people together. i love seeing -- i just so governor murphy from new jersey. his spirit and what he has gone through -- it is not in a partisan way. he is a democr

you can fit north dakota's population into manhattan. twice. and president trump kind of alluded to that variance in tonight's town hall meeting. here is another clip from tonight's event. >> in some states, you can do a lot less than in other states, and in new york, i think you would have to go around with masks for a while, you're going to have to do separation, distancing, you're going to have to do that for a while. but some states, you are doing so well. >> dr. thorp how do we make contact tracing work in larger, denser cities? >> well, it's helpful to remember that contact tracing is not new. health departments have been doing it for a long time. it has been a mainstay of public health intervention in the context of infectious disease trol. but the reality is, it is a really challenging project for a health department to launch a very large contact tracing initiative like what is needed now to address covid. in urban areas you would need a lot of contact tracers. they need to be very carefully trained. they need to be very, very carefull

city, in dakota county, nebraska. that theiyson plant is a big on 4,300 workers, and that plant in dakota city has not been saying how many of those 4,300 workers are positive. but everybody could tell something was wrong there in part because they were -- workers kept dying at that plant. the dakota city plant finally closed. tyson finally decided to close it at least temporarily last week, and they did have all of the 4,300 workers at that plant tests tests test tested. the plant still wouldn't say what the results are. they still won't say even now. but we know at least something about what the test results were there because a tipster alerted the local paper, the sioux city journal, that the number of workers that tested positive at that dakota city plant was 669. 669 people who work at that one plant, according to a source who shared that number with the local paper. but officially the plant's not saying, and officially who knows? so good luck to the public local officials of all kinds around dakota city and siou

the single hottest spot in the united states is in south dakota, of all places. you know, had a beef packing plant up there. well, i think the last count i saw was, like, 650 cases in that one town where those-- you know, areas of south dakota. so that-- that-- that dog won't hunt. it just doesn't hold true. >> alfonsi: after we spoke to miller, a similar hotspot surfaced nearly nine hours from austin, at a meatpacking plant in a city called "cactus" in the texas panhandle. more than 350 people have tested positive and three died in surrounding moore county, which now has the highest covid infection rate in the state. the sole 25 bed hospital in the county only had two ventilators. the c.e.o. of the hospital used his four-seater plane to pick up two more ventilators and the state lied ather three. >> miller: the one thing that-- that's limited on these-- rural hospitals, is ventilators. some of 'em may have one. some of 'em may have two. we've had to go back in and dig out those that are in storage, you know, and refurbish 'em and get them ready. so we still don'

president i like toat think my friend from north dakota. it's great to hear stories from his great state to see how they are helping each other and coming to each other's benefit and is somebody who represents a state but not in those dimensions to see how that community has stepped up not just for his state but the rest of the country and we are very grateful for that. we have seen so many people across the country stepping in. i describe my state of west orginia as one great big small town we always help each other in times of need if we know them or 2 not the floods of 2016 were a good example of that and following the west virginia spirit no question it has helped during difficult times mike what we are facing right now. every day each of us when i'm no exception here how someone has stepped up to the plate to go above and beyond not for attention when they are forced to but they genuinely want to make a difference today wanted to join my colleagues to help highlight thosebl unsung heroes here we are serving in the senate for most peopl

my question is why south dakota?s so random how long have they been doing this and does the federal government have any jurisdiction here >> they don't. south dakota has created the perfect storm for hiding wealth. they've got no income tax, no capital gains tax, no inheritance tax. they have protections where it's almost impossible for creditors or ex-spouses or governments to get at the money if it's in a south dakota trust and the secrecy there is unmatched around the world you can't get any information about money that's in a south dakota trust the attorneys for both of these clients, ed and marie, couldn't even talk about the case because of the gag order from south dakota so very few people know that one of the greatest offshore tax havens is right in the american prairie in south dakota. >> robert, i wonder if some of our wealthiest viewers will be moving their homes and estates to south dakota. >> i would not be surprised. >> but my question for sara, on the federal side of things, clearly the u.s. taxes peop

that plant in dakota city has not been saying how many of those 4300 workers are positive.t everybody could tell something was wrong there. in part because they were workers, workers kept dying at that plant. the plant finally closed. tyson finally decided to close it. at least temporarily last week. and they did have all of the 4300 workers at that plant tested. the plant still wouldn't say what the results were though. even after the testing was completed, they still won't say even now, but we know at least something about what the test results were there, because a tipster alerted the local paper, the sioux city journal, that the number of workers that tested positive, at that dakota city plant, was 669. 669 people who work at that one plant, according to a source, who shared that number, with the local paper. that officially, the plant's not saying, and officially who knows, some good luck to the health public health officials and local officials of all kinds around dakota city and sioux city in trying to plan to handle the considerable outbreak, right? good luck trying

natasha, thank you very, very much. >>> a standoff is taking place in south dakota. this is between the governor there and two of the state's sioux tribes. there are u.s. and state highways that run through tribal land. the sioux tribes say their checkpoints are the best tool to try and stop the coronavirus from spreading. they call those checkpoints illegal and demand they be removed. >> one of the sioux tribes is already refusing to obey the governor's demand, lawmakers now urging both parties to meet and negotiate. cnn's sarah sidner is there. >> reporter: the cheyenne river sioux tribe says this is their front line in the battle against coronavirus. if you want to enter their land in south dakota, you'll have to answer some questions at their checkpoints. >> have you traveled to or from an area with reported covid-19 cases? >> reporter: if you don't answer correctly, you could be turned away or at the very least tracked closely and quarantined if you have a reason to stay on the reservation. >> we love our people. we can't replace a human life. that's all we're t

in utah and in north and south dakota, governors are asking citizens to download smart phone apps. >> know part of our life being able to get back to normal is going to rely on us being able to get in front of the spread, and a big part of that is contact tracing. so please download that app, save us hundreds of hours, and make sure that you're helping us track the history of where you have gone and who you've exposed to this virus if you ever test positive. soledad: in utah, the launch of the healthy together utah app could speed up the tracing process. people using the app, who test positive for covid-19, are basically providing a digital trail of contacts to public health workers. use of the app is completely voluntary. north and south dakota are using an app called care-19 that takes privacy concerns one step further. users get a randomly assigned id number. the app traces contacts with others that last at least 10 minutes. and if someone tests positive for the virus, they must consent to the use of their data by health care workers. officials in the dakotas want to map the outbre

i'm hoping the south dakota governor sees the same thing here. we've all got to work together to help our citizens. with the lockdown in gallup, new mexico, navajo nation, john, has been in lockdown for some time with a shelter-in-place order since the onset of this virus over a couple months ago. and, you know, we have a curfew as well from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. during the weekdays, and during the weekends, we have the 57-hour curfew. we're just coming off a 57-hour curfew now at 5:00 a.m. this morning to protect our citizens because of the slowness and the response from the federal government. we have to use our own sovereign ability to govern ourselves, and that's why we have to go as far as saying we're going to cut off traffic. we've been cutting off traffic to our navajo nation as well and telling people our tourism destinations are closed. please respect the sovereignty of our navajo nation. we appreciate you coming back later after this public health emergency has blown over. we're doing everything in our power to help each other. >> sor

melissa: forgive me, north dakota, is what i meant to say. do you see expanding beyond that?of other area makes sense and, you know, how do you make sure as you lower that down you don't, i don't know, come in contact with a tree, a dog, person? >> yes. so in north dakota we're working with our partner ease drones. they are a part 107 operator. in north carolina it will be operated under cause aviation. they're a part 135 certificated, or soon to be certificated air carrier. we're looked to expand in north dakota and north carolina as we transition to a 135 operation. ideally looking for places in suburban, less populated areas just because of current rules and also mitigation to, you know, populated areas. so we're looking to scale in north carolina at first but, like i said earlier we are conducting operations in other countries like iceland. so as we learn the rules with the faa and help, you know, rewrite the rules for drone operations underneath part 135 we will be scaling in other places around the country. melissa: would it ever make sense to do it in a city or is this

people today, whether they're in north dakota, washington state, montana, oregon, any of our home states, people are at home and they're living their lives online. now more than ever i would say to senators of both political parties because i've long felt that these issues were fundamental, fundamental to ensuring that we prove, as i stated earlier, that liberty and security aren't mutually exclusive. smart policies give you both and not so smart policies don't give you either. during this pandemic, americans deserve assurances that the government isn't spying on them as they're home where they think they're going to have some measure of privacy, and probably until they heard this debate didn't know the government could spy on them at home as they move around the internet. americans deserve to know at this unique time that the government is not engaged in digital tracking of their personal lives. the warrantless collection of americans' web browsing history offers endless opportunities for abuse. tonld trump called -- donald trump called for investigation of his political enemies. all it

as i was listening closely to the senator from south dakota is a recitation of all the things that we have to do there is no shortage of work for us to do and there is no reason for us to continue to curl up in a fetal position and in some undisclosed location and be afraid to go outdoors because the fact is the experts at the center for disease control people like dr. fauci dr. birx to be seen on tv on a nightly basis, they tell us what, we need to do in order to function safely and it's the same thing that are grocery clerks and our doctors and nurses and frankly n our law enforcement or smell are doing. we know how to do this and how to do it safely but at the same simply cannot hide out and not show up for work. what kind of the messages sent to the american people? we know this is an extraordinary crisis, an unprecedented crisis and we have got someth things tt he would never consider doing under normal times, proofreading more than $3 trillion at work speed. .. the brakes and to consider what it is we've already done and where we need to make some corrections. any time you do an

but that county, dakota county, just across the missouri river from sioux city, iowa, dakota county does have a population of less than 21,000 people, and they are up over 1,400 cases overall now. i mean not testing in the first place, not allowing test results to be made public when there is testing, i mean denying that these outbreaks exist or that they attend to any specific place or workplace is a bad strategy. it's a specific kind of bad, though. it's the kind of bad that one nebraska state senator is now calling a political cover-up in his state, and he joins us next. stay with us. ering free laundry services to the family of frontline responders. visit hope.tidecleaners.com to learn more. ...little things... ...can become your big moment. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depressi

that county, dakota county, just saw a record surge in new cases. their largest number of new cases in one day yet. they had 361 positives in one day and that's a county with only 20,000 people in it. we don't know how many of those positive cases are workers from that dakota county plant which, also, just reopened. the plant is not announcing how many of its workers are infected. nebraska's governor says the plants don't have to say how many of their workers have tested positive. he say it's a business decision. it's their call. but that county, dakota county, just across the river from sioux city, iowa. dakota county does have a population of less than 20,000 people and they are over 1,400 cases overall now. not testing, in the first place. not allowing test results to be made public when there is testing. i mean, denying that these outbreaks exist or that they attend to any specific place or workplace is a bad strategy. it's -- it's a specific kind of bad, though. it's the kind of bad that one nebraska state senator is now calling a political cov

this is the tyson plant in dakota city, nebraska. nobody knows how many cases there are at that dakota city plant in nebraska because, as i mentioned, nebraska doesn't track it. the governor doesn't think that meat plants are a problem in terms of the spread of coronavirus, and tyson for this plant at least refuses to say how many people are positive there. but for some reason they've decided to close that plant for a deep cleaning. i should also mention that perhaps it's a complete coincidence but dakota county, nebraska, where this plant is located, happens to have the second known coronavirus cases in the entire state after grand island even though the population of dakota county is only about 20,000 people. but we don't know if there's any cases there, and are we sure we want to look? so they're going to close for a deep cleaning. deep cleaning isn't actually a thing. that's just a word that people use when they tell you they're sending in cleaners. they're nothing different about a deep cleaning compared to a regular cleaning no
