south dakota governor republican kristi noem joins us right now. governor, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. steve: i know you value peaceful protest, things were not peaceful sunday night. you had to activate the national guard. tell us what happened. >> well, free speech is a fundamental right. and you know, peaceful protest have their purpose. people protest when they feel like they are not being heard. what happened on sunday night is that i prestaged national guard troops in several different communities in south dakota so that they would be ready, if needed. and it was needed in sioux falls on sunday night. within minutes of the mayor asking for national guard troops, they were on the scene and were able to shut down a lot of the violence going on. really what national guard did was come in and secure an area, so more law enforcement could move to where the crowd was at. it was incredibly important to be there on site and be ready to respond within a couple of minutes. steve: we are looking as you are speaking to me we are looking

joining me now south dakota governor kristi noem.'m not too far away from south dakota but did you ever think that you would have to actually be speaking out against tearing down mount rushmore during your term in office? >governor kristi noem, i'm not sure she can hear us. i was asking her if she ever thought that she would have to speak out about tearing down statues of mount rushmore. and i'm not sure if she is there? is she there, governor? i never thought she would have to -- we will try to get back to her. this is life tv and what happens kids. he does not want president trump anywhere near mount rushmore, watch. >> the integrity of the republican party has completely subordinated the agency, the patriotism, the common sense, their judgment to be members of a cult of personality. think about donald trump going to mount rushmore. that is not his place in the shadow of some of our greatest leaders. >> laura: all right, governor, i think we have you now. that is great. sorry about that, but what does steve schmidt and people like

i watched this in north dakota. we buried a hoar elast week who died trying to save another law enforcement officer. a 29-year-old with a wife and a 10-month-old kid. i mean, it par was absolutely tl the saddest thing i have been a part of, not just in public we service, but in my life.ncentivi but good cops know who bad cops are. we need to incentivize to get rid of bad cops and we need to make sure hey can't just hop from one department to the other.eani calling on the independent line.call scottsville, virginia. >> caller: yes. thanks for taking my call. it is hard for a true independent to relate to conditions bya which you prote a democratic republic. a democratic republic that's , a based on maintaining a human the environment rather than ck replacing it with an animal environment where the animal pack leader receives the support of animal pack followers.our ey it's as if you believe that you eyes didn't see general flynn ng being honored at the russian propaganda tv dinner, sitting next to the kgb agent, vlad

said he would never be president if it had been first time in the dakotas, which now north dakota, hisanches. and the theodore roosevelt center there at dickinson state, is a wonderful project. i think she understood. she had visited the ranches that pr had understood that his time being a ranch or meant everything to him. so she put up with some people who she might have not chosen as friends, you know, desperado's and farmers and cowboys who t.r. loved, so she accepted them. >> and that's the key piece of it, because she went to north dakota when she was very new in the marriage and quite a young woman. and head over heels in love with her husband, and he was head over heels in love with north dakota. and so she loved, you know, she want to know all about the things that he loved. i think those people had a marvelously colorful characters from north korea and a rosy patina for her. >> did they keep the rain throughout the presidency? >> no. he had to salad. basically, he was a field cattle ranchers. >> the weather was against him. >> yes, they froze. those were hardiness my grandfath

state university i went to in north dakota. and i think that the landscape, which is very befitting of north dakota, was wide enough for me to breathe, reconnect with the image of me that it always had, someone who was passionate, someone who fully understood her purpose in life and felt dignified in that, and eventually found my purpose in leading a life of efficacy to try to work not only for the betterment of my life but for my children and future generation. >> host: and when you returned to minneapolis, you wrote some letters or visited some people. what did you do on your return? >> guest: so, my schooling, i watched a facebook clip of an interview that oprah was doing, and in this interview, she was talking about the process she has again through and -- has gone through and i can't remember it correctly right but now but might have been a conversation with the late maya angelou, and she said, forgiveness is not for the person you're forgiving, it's for yourself. it's the ability to let go. everybody that wrongs you often

not the governor of south dakota right now. >> thank you both very much. appreciate your time. >>> next bruise, colorado the latest state to shut back down, the governor announcing he's reclosing bars and night clubs. breaking news, the white house knew of potential russian bounties for killing u.s. troops more than a yearing a. why is the white house saying the president just got briefed on the plot. and health experts warning of a new virus that could cause of new pandemic. >> it is a catastrophic future. into a smaller life? are your asthma treatments just not enough? then see what could open up for you with fasenra. it is not a steroid or inhaler. it is not a rescue medicine or for other eosinophilic conditions. it's an add-on injection for people 12 and up with asthma driven by eosinophils. nearly 7 out of 10 adults with asthma may have elevated eosinophils. fasenra is designed to target and remove eosinophils, a key cause of asthma. it helps to prevent asthma attacks, improve breathing, and can reduce the need for oral steroids like prednisone. fasen

we are in good shape in south dakota.nk as far as it comes to the virus, but also, limited job loss. our economy's rebounding quicker than i think almost every other state and we are doing quite well. stuart: i always think of south dakota as a farm state. i believe that's what you are. i've got to get this right. i do understand that. farm -- the farmers have been badly hit with the china problem and other problems going forward. is the farming industry, if i can put it like that, in good shape in south dakota? >> well, you know, there's some big challenges out there. if you remember, last year we flooded all year so our farmers were impacted by not being able to plant. this year, we have also been struggling with marketing opportunities. the virus hit a lot of the processing facilities so now they have supply left on their ranches that they can't move through the system. we also have low commodity prices we have been dealing with because of trade issues for four or five years. agriculture is our number one industry and

last thursday north dakota lost one of its finest. because of this, we must honor his memory, in part by remembering those who served as he did and never forgetting the burden his loved ones bear on our behalf. they sacrifice too. with that, mr. president, i want to yield the floor to senator cramer who had the good fortune to know the family personally and had a long relationship with the family and i welcome and look forward to his remarks about cody holte, somebody who was truly an exceptional person and whose life epitomized service. we pray for god's blessing on him and his entire family. with that, i yield the floor. mr. cramer: madam president. the presiding officer: the senator from north dakota. mr. cramer: thank you, madam president. i thank senator hoeven for his words and i associate myself with everything he said about officer holte. he's right, it was an appropriate celebration of officer holte's life along with the governor and a whole bunch of other friends, family, members of law enforcement, community leaders, and ev

jim, north dakota, you are next. >> caller: hey, , john. can you hear me? >> host: yes. go ahead. >> caller: first of all, the nascar thing. it's funny when the left always so things against the wall to see what sticks. and then something turns out to be a fraud, forget about it. going to the next thing. that's what makes me angry about the bubblegum wallace, so-called black guy which is in a black dude. find a noose in his garage. governor confiding to action, you know and finds that of course know some guys working on the garage opener. a little loop around the garage door to lift the door. they decide for two days -- [inaudible]

jordan: i support the gentleman from north dakota's amendment. it is a good amendment. and the gentleman from florida, mr. gaetz, is right on target. but the fbi general does not have to record the conversation? that does not make sense. especially when you know the facts around the conversation that took place. on january 24 of 2017, the agent on the michael flynn case, a three-star general who served our country, the agent on the case said you want to drop this case. there is nothing here. they did not want to pursue it. but what happened? the director of the fbi told the agents, no, don't drop the case. you're going after michael flynn. -- we are going after michael flynn. the next day, january 5, 2017, thenomey meets with president obama talks about michael flynn and what happened 19 days later? these agents are snuck into the white house. mr. comey does follow the proper protocols or process and doesn't advise the white house counsel. he sneaks them into set up michael flynn, and there was no recording of that interview. there is the 302 note. and guess what they d

i come from a small town in south dakota. i grew up and down about 500 people. there are lots of ways you can get expectation to areas of the country today, but getting that last mile of delivery is one that really matters. so in rural parts of the country the postal service is in for an agency, and yes, we're interested in saint if there are things we can do that will make it work more efficiently and make some of those reforms. but in the end it's an agency that we need to maintain and ensure is concerning to operate. and i suspect that's going to be anybody who represents a rural state in the country will hold that view anything probably have a good amount of influence in what ultimate emerges in terms of the solution. >> do you think there any particular reforms that has support among your colleagues and you can see being implemented? >> there's been a lot of discussion around how the pension program is funded and advanced funded and why is it different than other government pension programs at the federal level, function and operates. that's one thing i i c

my friend andield colleague from the dakota. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i think this is where we are at. this type of reform is really not all differences are ideological. he's a prosecutor, i'm a defense attorney. i would be more susceptible to his argument if the fbi had not specifically circumvented what they consider custodial versus noncustodial. regard, we are asking state and local departments from the federal government to do a lot of things at the very least, we can require basic technological and fundamental fairness with what is supposed to be the premier law enforcement agencies in the country. , ithe point about going watched the amendment die in some black hole that i don't get to be in the room, that's why we're here. we need to do these things here. this is simple. before my time runs out, i got some unanimous consent request. titled electronic recording of confessions and witness interviews. two thousand 14, subject concerning electronic recording of statements. a report of northwestern university school of law center for wrongful convict

the senate has already taken the ppp program, it has been hugely successful in my state of south dakota loan with a 20000 businesses benefit to the tune of 1.6 ligand dollars think a big reason for seeing encouraging signs in economy is because of many of these policies have the desired effect. it's important we get it right and the democrats if it were up to them we would've pass of the $3 trillion out there without knowing what the need is or what we have done so far has works. we want to make sure we get this right and we are being responsible stewards of the task attempt taxpayers dollars on every dollar we spend as a borrowed dollar. which makes redoing it in an effective and efficient way and return to the american taxpayer. >> the cares act has worked leases success this last week it was 2.5 million new jobs were created it is the single biggest jobs report people back to work states are reopened there's 11000 of these ppp loans very successful over a billion dollars wyoming is back as we seek communities and states opening we see the success this is who we are as americans. we n

apparently the phone is ringing off the hook in south dakota. person. >> yeah, that's what's wonderful about south dakota. is that this whole situation upset them as well. one of the things i told the mayor that night is i said 99.9% of the people in south dakota made the right decision tonight. there is a few that didn't. and there will be consequences. and i think that's what is incredibly important is that there has to be consequences for violent actions. it's not acceptable. it's unamerican. and that's one of the things that will make sure that if protests do go forward, that they are peaceful in the future and stop them from becoming violent. steve: you were with us about a month ago talking about the covid situation in south dakota, which had some spikes around some of the meat packing -- meat processing plants. it's interesting, you did not close the state as other states did follow suit. but then you have got, for instance, in new york. have you got the mayor, you have got the governor saying go ahead and go out there and protest but at

. >> joining us this morning from north dakota is representative kelly armstrong congressman from thattate representing, also a member of the judiciary committee and the house. we will talk a couple of issues this morning. congressman armstrong come i want to ask you about the story we read earlier today about the judiciary committee taking up some legislation, discussing legislation next week looking at police activity in the country across the nation. country and police reform across the nation. can you tell us about what might be proposed? guest: yeah, we're going to have a hearing june 10 next wednesday. i am glad we are doing it. i

it gives me the opportunity to educate people on how we do things in north dakota and i think i would start by saying there are no federal elections. there's only local elections and federal elected officials and i know that because north dakota has probably the easiest voting in the entire country. we have no voter registration. we have 30 day residency requirement and allow them to vote when they are out of prison and we are proud of all of those things and i think that is one of the problems i have and just to be clear it was easy for us to set up because we have a number already that are almost exclusively vote by mail. but as it is always the case when we try to do these things from a federal level when we are attempting to solve it will cause problems in places like mine. requiring 20 days early voting in a county with 700 people doesn't make any sense and in fact we've spent many year we hn different counties into different jurisdictions to get this right. and then we have places that shorten it up outside of business hours. the other thing we do with all absentee and early vot

north dakota, south dakota and montana are the only states national holiday but he day. has yet to be approved in the house. lauren green, fox news. >>> your time is 4:40 and is time to talk about the weather. >> is that my queue? >> hey steve, let's talk about the weather! >> there is a little pause there. okay, i've got it. all right, we do have some fog going up the coast, i know it is taking a turn there but a little bit is going over the bay. it is not as hot as yesterday but nothing we have dealt with already. palo alto is 92 and can feel 91 and leo is also 91 . san jose is 93. today will be a little cooler, oakland is 77 and livermore is down six from yesterday. there is a west southwest wind out by the airport. 60s and a lot of the temps are mid 60s and santa rosa is 52. pacifica is 53 and foster city and palo alto, little cooler. yesterday there were 64 and today 58. 38 in tahoe 55 in monterey. the highest dose question is, so color for most yet it will still be warm and hot inland just not as hot yesterday. there is some breeze but not of 235. anywhere near the

there are 10 people per square mile in the entire state of north dakota.t and contributing factor to all of this, you have common sense, intelligent people who can make good decisions and given guidance and those good decisions will protect themselves and protect the people around them. why you see in the dakotas largely really very little of the disease, other than a major break out than a plant in sioux falls or or a minor breakout in a plant in grand forks. you see the people -- stuart: senator i have been to north dakota several times. the one state that i have not been to is montana. i got to do it. i have not been there yet. >> the bakken was discovered, the shale revolution was started in montana but it blossomed in north dakota because we have a better leadership and better state policy. don't tell montana. stuart: whoa, be careful there, senator. i can see a fight starting right there. kevin cramer, the senator from north dakota, republican. >> thank you, my pleasure. stuart: scientists warning a new strain of flu in china has pandemic potential.

i support the suggestion of the senator from south dakota when it comes to telehealth, but let's make sure we have the men and women on the front end of the process who are still an important and critical and essential part of the kind of professional medical service and dental service that we all need. there's another way to help make sure we have enough dentists and doctors, is to make sure that those who are currently in the united states in dental school or medical school, who are protected by daca have a chabs to remain in this country. by way of background, 20 years ago i introduced a bill called the dream act. the dream act was designed for those brought to the united states as children, infants and toddlers who were brought into this country perhaps on a visitors' visa and overstayed their visa and didn't file the necessary documents and soon became undocumented in america. they didn't leave. they grew up here. they were little kids who grew up in this country going to our schools, being part of america and believing america was their future. usually some time in their adolesc

armstrong of north dakota.at the end of the bill, the following, and conform the table of contents accordingly. >> without objection. a mr. chairman, this is pretty simple amendment. this requires that the doj law whetherent record audio they are in custody or noncustodial. there is some narrow exceptions for confidential informants, and there are retention requirements for 10 years or, in the case of capital cases, until the case is disposed of legally. and this is an important amendment if our goal is to hold law enforcement accountable and improve transparency, and if we do, because in subtitle c, we require federal law enforcement to have body cameras and dash cameras, but this bill if passed, there is a perverse incentive which exists where immediately between that person being arrested or detained and turned over for an interview, there would be absolutely no requirement for that body camera to stay on or for any recording device to exist. i think it is time that our premier law enforcement agencies get i
