john's, a small farming and cattle community on the arizona-new mexico border in the 1880's. he had an embroidery that hang on his frontier home that read, if the good folks don't get into politics, the scowndz drells will take -- the scoundrels will take over. i believe there are a lot of good folks here in the senate, but the system we're caught in makes it too hard to work together, to remember that we -- we need to remember that we disagree in politics but not in life. and i'm not the first to say in a farewell address and i won't be the last but the senate is broken. the senate is broken. and it's not working for the american people. we are becoming better and better political warriors. we're good at landing a punch, at exposing the hypocrisy and ruling each other up -- and rialing each other up but we're not fostering our better angels, our peacemaking skills are at friday if iing. every hurt takes time to heal and each time we hurt each other, it sets us back. but unfortunately the structures we have built reward us for hurting one another. we need to reform those stru

in congress the greatest honor of my life has been doing that and i am confident new mexico is in good hands with my fellow senators in my great partner over the last eight years, his dedicated advocacy and love of the land and all of that has been an o inspiration and those i have the privilege of calling a friend and fighting for new mexico families every single day in the senate. i will miss the righteous struggle to build a more perfect union. i will miss all of you, my staff and colleagues and those working around the clock, the unsung heroes keeping the senate running like john and marianne and all of the folks in front of you. there are too many to think. first and foremost i think my staff we are only as good as the people on our team and as my friend patrick leahy says we're just a constitutional impediment to the staff.

per capita, new mexico is number one.re there things that can be done to root some of that talent that does exist into businesses and job growth and innovation and economic growth? >> absolutely. those labs are dedicated to thinking about what is our national security. the reality is the climate crisis is a national security threat. they do a lot of fascinating work up there that builds off of that we can do. i would like us to see us put increase the budget at those labs so more goes into the areas that are not purely around nuclear nonproliferation, but are about the things of these other crises we face, including crises from pandemics to crises from our failure to adjust the climate crises. the climate change disaster that we are facing down. i think that there is a desire up there to do that. they want to do it. it's up to congress. what congress needs to do is say this is a priority. we are going to both fund it. and we are going to measure your progress on it. as we know, if we don't put it as a measurement point, t

senator udall, new mexico, has been an incredible steward and champion of so many of the things at the heart of our country's greatness like america's great outdoors and natural lands, a culture enriched by our tribal nations and enduring commitment to democracy. america's environment, our native communities and our right to vote are some of the fundamental elements that make this country so unique and senator udall has faithfully served the people of new mexico and all americans as an incredibly gifted national leader on so many issues and so many more. i got to serve with senator udall on the commerce committee where during the pandemic we worked together to bridge the digital divide and expand broadband especially for our tribal communities whereas we all know he served as the ranking member of the top democrat on the indian affairs committee. and i was proud to serve with senator udall in the rules committee. we worked on native american votings rights together. he was the lead on so many bills that would make our democracy better. and i hope that one of his legacies is when he's g

sit awful -- the hospitalizations in new mexico are at record highs this week. are you worried hospitals in your state will become overrun, gove governor? >> i have been worried about that single fact since the moment we were engaged in the late winter, early spring of this pandemic. if you're not paying real attention to health-care capacity, you aren't paying attention to this pandemic, as well as saving lives new mexico, for an antiquated medicare rule, it's created actually very severe health-care shortages. we have less health-care per capita than most average states, so we really have to do it better. and where we are today is in critical situations in every single hospital in the state. don, that's why we did a reset that just ended monday of this week. >> yeah, i want to ask you about that. you had a two-week shut down. are you seeing signs that it help in the stopping the spread of this virus? >> it absolutely did, and it's exactly why we did that. we wanted to rest up our health-care providers and health care capacity. we certainly wanted to stop expon
