north dakota and utah like to believe they had the first woman voter and they may have, but they voted in restricted elections. wyoming women never had to do that. they were on the same terms as men, which is quite extraordinary. in here we have maybe elizabeth katie stansoning to the ivanson issa lon. it was passed in 1869, in 1871 wyoming was getting so much grief that the legislature was saying maybe we should rescind this act. steven downey, and this is an exhibit of steven speaking about this possibly in this salon, speaking about the defense of the act because in 1871 people were giving wyoming territory such grief about having an act where women had the same rights as men, and downey stood there, wrote a very remarkable speech and spoke to the wyoming publics about how important this was that we keep this, that we retain this, and it was retained in 1871 by one vote in the legislature. then fast forward, let's fast forward 17 years, wyoming territory is wanting to become a state. washington, d.c., says, no one else in the world or in the united states is giving women these kinds

south dakota's aclu chapter responded -- "the date of this legislion creates is real.the potential home to south dakota is significant and the stakes for transgender students are high. kids are hurting." and massive women-led marches continued around the world monday to commemorate international women's day. in mexo, thousandsf women from across the country gathered in mexico city's zÓcalo protesting skyrocketing femicide's. they are also protesting men obrador for a gubernatorial candidate for the state of guerrero who is accused of rape. protesters were met by police who used tear gas and batons to try to disperse the crowd. this is one of the protesters. >> my name is mercedes. i am proud to be a mexican woman . i come here for all of the women they have taken away from us, for every girl they have killed. i was raped in the age 4 to 9 in my family just offended my attacker. the state also defended him. today i also cover my friends who have disappeared. i am proud to be here to just scream, "this has to end. they have to stop killing us, raping us, and assaulting u

haunting reminders of what might have been. >> joins us now from south dakota, is there any hope amongu spoke to that this project could be revived? or i mean, what are they -- what are they hoping's going to happen? >> yeah. it depends who you talk to, anderson. some people actually are holding out hope about a fraul ederal lt that's now been filed on behalf of 21 republican states. it's alleging biden didn't have the authority to cancel the permit, as he did. court cases take a long time. other people are actually hoping president biden has a change of heart. they would love to be able to plead their case. and then, there are those who are hoping for a change of politics. maybe, midterm elections, a change of power leadership in both the house and senate, more favorable to the pipeline. some even hold out to 2024. and maybe a change of administration. anderson. >> martin savidge, appreciate it. still to come, in an exclusive interview, response from china's ambassador to the u.s. in response to a story we aired last night about uyghur children in china separated from their parents. d

amazon said they may bring 1000 jobs to south dakota. maybe that is why she blinked.has a great deal to do with why she blinks. you're white, conservatives have to look at issue of woke capital. corporations drift the far left on cultural issues. amazon was among signatories pushing for the equality act on the federal level which would destroy girls sports. this bill was a reaction to that push. now we have amazon essentially, and other private entities like ncaa or like the chamber of commerce in south dakota, essentially dictating public policy and law in a state and leveraging incredible amounts of influence to do so. this is a big problem we'll have to confront. we'll have to stand up to confront it. unfortunately the governor has shown she is not willing to do that? charles: how do you do it? i know in georgia, for instance, there is pressure now on coca-cola and others to sort of go against the voting laws that are making their way through the legislation, legislature, rather. we see this over and over again. you know, i think it is a way for them to sort of vir

he did it a lot before he started his north dakota career.s senator kramer i just posted stimulus? kevin: he has the philadelphia eagles of politics! they are going to be really fighting for there to be some type of investment in infrastructure in a way that does not mean they have to raise taxes. it will be increasingly difficult for them to do so given the simple math of the congress. he actually put forth a bill yesterday with republicans in the house that would codify a piece from the executive branch that would make it more difficult for the current administration to make it harder for there to be investment in coal energy and other forms of energy as well. he has tying infrastructure to the cold debate with -- coal debate with that key sin dressed -- key centrist. tom: kramer has got to find some love with the moderates as well. can those republicans move and assist moderates to a moderate outcome? kevin: that is such an impo rtant point. cramer beat heidi heitkamp. she was seen at the time as a centrist democrat who would be able to wi

in south dakota -- health experts. in south dakota, we took this seriously. told my people the truth and gave them personal responsibility over decisions for the family's public health, but also the flexibility they needed to keep their businesses open, take care of their customers and employees. i really do believe that as the virus has spread throughout the country, that people needed that flexibility. south dakota is doing well. we have had tragic situations, but i know that respecting them, and my role and the authority i have as governor has helped our state get through this challenging time. host: let's go to robert in cincinnati, ohio. go ahead. caller: good morning. what i would like to discuss is the stimulus package. basically, the increase in the minimum wage. it has been a long time since anyone has gotten a minimum wage raise. i think there should be one, but i think it should be done by regions. there are regions in our country that if we gave them a $15 minimum wage, it would be like making them $25 an hour compared with their cost of living in

i want you to listen to south dakota senator john thune. this was his take on the minimum wage over the weekend. >> the minimum wage is something that is particularly troubling and harmful at a time when you're trying to get people back to work. i worked for less than a minimum wage. i worked for the minimum wage. i started busing tables at a dollar an hour. i went up to $2.25 when they moved me up in the place. i finally made it to cook, which was big-time. that was 6 bucks an hour. what you're essentially telling those businesses in south dakota that i just mentioned, that you're going to increase the amount of money that they have to pay their workers by over 50%, 50% increase. >> you got to love the tim scott standing there to provide the patina of diversity over that round of words, that basket full of words. what do you make of john thune's argument because his $6 an hour would be $20 an hour now if you account for inflation, but your thoughts? >> well, he's just so out of touch with where regular people are and struggling at the bott

when i 1st arrived to north dakota i had no idea what i was. walking into the ratio of men to women when i got here it was a 100 to one so there was 100 men to every one woman. i've had it happen a couple times but i can remember specifically the 1st time it happened i went to wal-mart just to get some makeup or something and i was dressed in a turtleneck and boots and i was shocked because these 2 guys came up to me in the makeup department and said hey do you work the back roads and i was just full i'm a city girl you know so i'm like at the back roads and then i was like oh my gosh he's propositioning me obviously i think that at that time if you were a woman in willis and not married not visibly with another guy they automatically assumed you were here to work in prostitution because that was really the only 2. people groups were the local women and then those working as strippers or in prostitution. but that way the letters are so in that way. well the. little man's the other one gets called the other one a man if not one bad. oh . i would
