each ohio when. when i came home last night, fran said, you know, when we have a crisis, 9/11, different things that are going on through our history, americans have put out the flag to really show unity, show when not going to be pushed aside, not going to be conquered. we're going to be defiant and some asking today all of us to put our flags up. fly that flag every single day. if you have an ohio flag, like that but most people have an american flag. put that flag out. fran tells me she just put hours out on the front porch. dr. acton says her husband just put their flag out. as i would ask all my fellow ohio citizens to do that. we will get through this. spring will come, and all the joys of life we will again be able to enjoy. we have several speakers today to kind of give you an update of what's going on. i've asked people who really have an expertise to come in. i want to first start with the chief justice of the state of ohio, maureen o'connor. and what the chief justice will do is to talk ab

we don't have that in ohio.e have superintendents rule 14 which is a declaration of a judicial emergency. this does not go as far as what you were suggesting that there would be a pronouncement from the chief justice that would be binding on all judges. at least that is my interpretation of rule 14 at this time. when i mentioned that we are looking at legislation, that is exactly what we are looking at. to create legislation that would under very, very limited and specialized circumstances, such as what we are experiencing here, should there be a need, the opportunity for the chief justice to make those types of orders that would be binding on the judiciary. reporter: real quickly, the legislature is meeting next week. are you looking at fixing that quickly when you talk about that legislation? chief justice o'connor: in an ideal world, that is the way it would happen. we are not in an ideal world so we will see. reporter: thanks. reporter: this is jake's ackerman. i wanted to talk about your decision against an

wonderful, good for, state of ohio. i want to take a moment because the story of the nursing home in miami county. and i think of all the first responders. time of crisis like this, but also every day, they risk their lives. i want to thank them. i want to thank all of our first responders. i want to thank he won the medical community. everyone who is working, battling, to keep people alive. working so hard in preparing what will be coming in the days and weeks ahead. you are our heroes. grateful for everything you are doing. whore grateful for everyone is working so hard as we go through these difficult times to keep ohio moving. whether it is feeding us, clothing us, making sure we have the medical care that we need, thank you. of each and everyone of you. i am grateful for what you do. we have a few announcements today. i want to start by thanking the chief justice who was here yesterday. said, the directive she sent out. today. and i would appeal to all of our judges, all those involved in our judicial system, to he

an ohio we been taking the lead on this. we had been pretty aggressive ad saying people need to social distance that restaurants and bars need to close. we one of the first couple of states to say that the schools needed to be close. governor mike dewine, our ohio department of health, doctor in acton who is in the director, i think have done a good job in responding to this unprecedented crisis. as of this morning we have 247 confirmed cases and three deaths. by the way the first person to die in ohio was in and i know. i knew him and i respected him. his name was mark wagner senior from toledo, ohio. he contracted this disease and succumbed to it. unfortunately we're going to sei more cases, more deaths but we are doing the things to begin to contain this, , to begin to slow the spread and thus needs to happen at every level including here and that's what this legislation is so important to pass tonight. two weeks ago congress started this ever bypassing the first major relief effort called face when which was $8.3 billion

to do that already in ohio.ook, what we've asked -- >> but you're doing that on your own in ohio. are you hearing from the administration on this as part of what they're talking about? >> well, what they're talking about -- we're moving forward -- >> so they're not talking to you about it, you're doing it on your own, is what you're saying. >> look, we're doing it on our own. my department of health may have talked to them, i'm not sure whether they have or not. when we closed the schools, we wanted to make sure kids continue to get food so the department of agriculture gave us a waiver within 24 hours so we could take food out to kids and distribute it in different areas, and some school districts in ohio will take that out, put it on a bus and travel around and distributing it. so each school is making up its own mind how to do it. but we had to get a waiver from the federal government and we were happy to get that waiver. >> your florida counterpart, governor ron desantis, has said the president should consid

in ohio, they say two weeks. this is the most significant expansion of our unemployment insurance system in history by far. it's going to significantly expand the number of individuals who are eligible to receive benefits, particularly self-employed, so it broadens those who qualify for unemployment insurance. these folks, by the way, have never been covered by unemployment insurance before. what's more, it provides a flat increase of $600 per week per person in the unemployment insurance system. this means that for low and low, medium income folks, let's say $40,000 to $50,000 a year, they will essentially have wage replacement now through notre dame insurance. this is a big difference. in ohio, unemployed insurance is one-third of your wages for those same individuals. now it will be topped up. so to the point earlier that this is a highly partisan bill, i'm sorry. this legislation reflects the priorities of democrats and republicans, and this is an example of that. and we have to acknowledge it. is the bill pe

one of the states that made this decision is owe ohio, ohio only or had had they made this decision fived cases of coronavirus. so joining me to talk about this is the governor of ohio, mike dewine. we really appreciate you being with us, because i think your state is so instructive to the proactive measures that many people are now realizing need to be taken. so explain why in a state that has as of yesterday only five confirmed cases you decided to close down all the schools. >> well, i've been listening to the experts, we put together a panel of 14 ohio doctors early on in this. i also have a great director of health, dr. amy actin and she and i have been working very, very closely. i've been listening to her. we reached out beyond ohio to a real expert on this who, you know, experts tell us, look, two weeks is too late. another week is too late. you got to try to slow this thing down early. and even though we only have five confirmed cases, we feel that we could have up to 100,000 people in ohio right now who are carrying around the coronavirus. this thing multiplies, we're told, eve

by the way the first person to die in ohio with a man i know. i knew him and respected him today we will see more casesng d more deaths and we see the slow spread and that needs to happen at every level including here and that is why the legislation is so in part to pass tonight. a few weeks ago congress started the effortf by passing the first major relief effort called phase one is $8.3 billion to address the health care needs associated in this pandemic. ohio has already received 50.5 million by the way from the first phase one legislation. course, much more needed to be done.ch more needed by the way, to find out what needs to be done is to listen to the people that are most affected, and we have been doing that. i was joined by the infectious disease expert from cincinnatibo on the facebook live town hall so we couldow answer questions about this crisis. he told us that the health care system needs. those that are out there on the front lines are doing all they can to help. we spoke to employers and had conference calls with hotels and rest

director and there is actually an open office and the position the health rector in ohio and ohio said no it's not going to happen he thinks it's a bad idea or hire has many many cases and he's the one who is making the call and then there is nothing even the governor or anybody else can say so the governor said knots not going to happen postponed in june ok stephanie simmons in washington thank you and the pandemic is also massively disrupting the world of sports the french open tennis tournament has been shifted from may to september and european football's governing body you asia has confirmed that the euro 2020 tenement will be postponed until next year is also put all other men's and women's competitions on hold. you wait for us this isn't to postpone this year's european championship to next summer due to the coronavirus was an unexpected domestic football in europe has been shut down for the time being so has the europa and champions league so postponing europe's flagship tournaments according to usa for president it was inevitable. we all know that. this that it moved iras that

so it is here in ohio. it is here in every state i am sure, but the experts just 20e8d us, lo told us, look, if you are waiting to see if it is time to do it, it is too late. it is not like you are in front of it and keeping it out of the state. that is not what we are doing b throu there is a time to break it and slow it down significantly, but you have to take dramatic and drastic action, and look, this is dramatic and drastic action to shut down all of the schools in the state of ohio and going to shutting down the theaters, shutting down movie theaters. not something that we wanted to do, but as i told the people in the state of ohio today, look, we will get through this. the sun is going to come out again, and it is going to be darker first, and we have to push through it. it is like running the gauntlet and we will get through it, but when we do, we will be okay and move on. ohioans are resilient people. >> they are indeed. do you have enough tests right now for all of the people who are going to need

tonight within the hour of trying to can l vo -- cancel voting tomorrow in ohio.ys his health commissioner will order the polls closed as a health emergency in ohio tomorrow. and while the polls will be closed tomorrow, secretary of state will seek a remedy through the courts to extend voting options so that every voter who wants to vote will be granted that opportunity. what is your reaction to this latest in a series of attempts by the governor today to stop voting at the polls tomorrow in ohio? >> good evening, lawrence. with the agility during these tough times by our leaders but this is not agility. this is just saying we're not going to conduct an election. while we need physical distancing, we do not need democratic distancing. i would propose maybe having a longer voting window extended through the end of the weekend so that you can separate folks, have them vote in waves and see this as a stimulus for people who have lost work or have lost hours to allow them to come in as poll workers to make sure people have access to the polls but, you know, democracy

so you're going to see the capacity in ohio go up dramatically in ohio the next few days.our ohio residents, don't be surprised when you see these numbers of confirmed cases go up dramatically but that's pretty much what we had predicted, it's what we thought. that's why we're taking action that may seem to be quite dramatic and tough. but, you know, everything we're doing is to try to save lives. we know doing these things now and not waiting will in fact save lives. >> i know you have written a letter to the vice president mike pence, and i'm looking at it, requesting critical personal protection equipment, including surgical procedural masks and 95 respirators, gowns, gloves. tell us what's going on? you don't have enough in ohio right now. >> i think this is a problem nationwide. the goal, of course, is we're doing all of these dramatic things to level off when we get this hit. so we don't want to be in the situation that italy is where they had a huge spike and their health care system, which is apparently a very good health care system, just couldn't handle it. so we

in ohio they say two weeks. this is the most significant expansion of our unemployment insurance system in history, by far. it's going to significant expand the number of individuals who are eligible to receive benefits particularly self-employed. so broad as those who qualify for unemployment insurance. these folks but we have never been covered by an opponent insurance before. what's more p it provides a flat increase of $600 per week per person in the unappointed insurance system. this means that for low, low median income folks from 40-3000 bucks a year, it will essentiallypl have wage replacement now through unemployment interest. this this is a big difference. and an opponent insurance is i one-third of your wages for the same individuals. now it will be topped up. so to the point that this is highly partisan bill, i'm sorry, this legislation reflects the priorities of democrats and republicans. and this isge an example of tha. and we have two of knowledge it. is the bill perfectly no. no bill is perfect c

might have 100,000 within the confines of ohio.onfident are they, work and they get that number, and can anything be done to stop the disease once it becomes u widespread? we will have a health official and the government ohio after the break. >> we have a hundred thousand people at least were walkings around with a coronavirus and what the experts tell us is this number will multiply, double every six days. tax refund than you deserve? that's a reason to switch to jackson hewitt. no one gets you a bigger refund or you get $100. yep, get your biggest refund or we pay you. guaranteed. and here's another reason to switch to jackson hewitt. - do that are degrading?ideo tapes, film reels, or photos, legacybox professionally converts them to dvds, thumb drive, or the cloud. legacybox is simple and safe, with over half a million satisfied customers. visit legacybox.com today, and get 40% off. can you help keep these iguys protected online?? easy, connect to the xfi gateway. what about internet speeds that keep up with my gaming? let's ho

let me ask you about the director of ohio's department of health saying ohio is conserving all of itsor high-risk and hospitalized frontline workers. how has testing been going on in your state in how many people have been tested in ohio? >> look, i don't have the total number. we have the same problem every state has. we do not have enough ability to test. i don't think any state does. and so, every state is prioritizing it. you're trying to make sure it's reserved, you know, for the hospitals, for people when you really need to find out whether they are, you know, have this covid-19 or whether they do not. as my health director has pointed out, for most people, for most people, they're going to stay at home, they're not going to go to a hospital. if they have problems breathe, they're obviously going to go to the hospital, but if they're staying at home, the treatment that doctors are telling them is going to be pretty much the same whether they know they have it or do not have it. so, look, we wish we had more ability to test. we certainly do. we have people actually who are workin

in ohio we have been taking the lead on this. we have been pretty aggressive, saying people need to social distance, that restaurants and bars needed to close. we were one of the first states to say that. schools need to be closed. governor mike dewine, the department of health, the director, i think they have done a good job in responding to this unprecedented crisis. as of this morning, we have 247 confirmed cases and three dess. by the -- deaths. by the way, the first person to die in ohio was a man i know. i knew him and i respected him. from toledo, ohio. he contracted this disease and succumbed to it. unfortunately we are going to see more cases, more deaths. we are doing the things to contain this, to slow the spread, and that needs to happen at every level, including here. that is why this legislation is so important to pass tonight. starteds ago congress this effort by passing the first major relief effort called phase one, which was $8.3 billion to address the health care needs associated with this pandemic. ohio has al

polls are closed this morning in ohio. governor postponing today's primary there because of this public health emergency. florida, arizona, and illinois will still proceed with their primaries today despite the threat. so joining us now is ohio's secretary of state frank la rose. secretary, thank you so much for being here. can you tell us why you took this step late last night at literally the 11th hour? >> well, what happened is that the governor and the doctor who heads up the ohio department of health judged that it was unof a for ohioans to gather at the polls and it was unsafe for poll workers. imagine a scenario where the administration is saying that gatherings of over ten people are unauthorized and that ohioans over 65 should remain in their homes. it was simply untenable for us to continue telling ohioans go to the poll. he made a difficult and right decision. i followed that up with an order saying we would comply with that and the ohioans will have their voice heard in the 11 weeks ahead. >> i like your confid

get to it ohio governor, michael dewine. thanks for joining us. >> great to see you. >> before we get what is going on, when will ohio hold its democratic primary? >> it is democrat and republican primary. it is not just presidential. it is local. that is set for the beginning of june. unless the legislature comes in and changes that. what is important people will have the opportunity to vote by absentee ballot for an extended period of time. we had a situation where we were making people make choices over their health versus their constitutional right. it made no sense. liz: let's move on to what is going on in washington. unprecedented government stimulus. now dwarfs the bailouts under president obama and george w. bush during the financial crisis. your take on what's going on in washington? >> well, quite honest with you, i'm very focused what we're doing here in ohio. we're very, very focused. i'm hearing some of the things you're carrying and other news media outlets are carrying but look, this is a bipartisan issue. i

but we've also got one from ohio state. projections vary between april -- excuse me, between coming up march 15th and april 15th -- excuse me, april and may. and those are the projections. it's a 30-day period time and we're not quite sure when this thing is going to peak. you know, again, part of this is driven by the pact that we don't have, you know, widespread testing. and, you know, that is not unique to ohio. we have seen that throughout, you know, throughout the country. that's been a real challenge. >> well, governor mike dewine, we really appreciate you giving us a status report on what's happening in ohio. i know all sorts of other states have been looking to you and to your state as what could happen if they take aggressive measures as well. thanks so much for taking the time to talk on new day. >> appreciate it. thank you very much. >>> so emergency room doctors are facing the kind of crisis they have never seen before. how are they coping? we have a live report for you next. my skin gets so tired. this new olay

we're looking to our manufacturers in ohio to see can they manufacture some of that in ohio.es are, to try to get this in place. so every state's different. i can only comment really about what's going on in ohio. and we are hearing from our first responders, we're hearing from people in the medical community that we've got to have more of the personal protection equipment. we know that. the ventilators, we're certainly looking for ventilators, we're looking for ways to deal with that as well. every state is doing what it can do. we're very, very focused on this. >> one of the things we keep hearing from governors is that you're put in this impossible position where you're all bidding against each other for these supplies. we were talking to mayor garcetti of los angeles yesterday, he said they had an order for some masks and at the last minute fema took them. we've talked to other governors, illinois, michigan, talking about how difficult this is. are you having that problem and would you like some sort of centralized way to keep this from happening? >> well, i heard from a

ohio needs to know that our verse we heard.ission, my responsibility as chief elections officer. what we guided them to do that we'll not have imprisoned voting tomorrow but we'll hold hold our election on june 2nd. we'll allow a vote by mail to continue between now and then, and that gives us the time to allow people to vote by mail, to hold an in person election on june 2nd, and to still assign the delegates that the democrats are going to need in order to conduct air convection convention. >>> shannon: we thank you for weighing in. as of now, that's not going to happen in ohio. thank you for your time. let's talk about this and much more with kevin walling and trump 2020 legal senior advisor ginger jenna ellis. we have some racist proceeding tomorrow but not ohio. none of us know the timeline of this thing at the time. what do you think? >> this is a really interesting constitutional quandary as well because the more we have these mail-in ballots for people who are showing up and will be able to show up and won't have to sho

officials in ohio believe their state might have 100,000 just within the confines of ohio.how confident are they? where did they get that number? and can anything be done to stop the disease once it becomes that widespread? those officials will join us. the head health official and the governor of ohio after the break. >> we project we have about 100,000 people at least who are already are walking around with the coronavirus and what the experts tell us is that this number will multiply. will double every six days. ♪ awesome internet. it's more than just fast. it keeps all your devices running smoothly. with built-in security that protects your kids... ...no matter what they're up to. it protects your info... ...and gives you 24/7 peace of mind... ...that if it's connected, it's protected. even that that pet-camera thingy.

appreciate the ohio secretary of state. ohio is moving its primaries.rrow and it's going to be on june 2nd. so stay tuned. again, our thanks to frank larose, ohio secretary of state. now, want to turn to president trump's call today for the nation's governors to try to shore up the response to coronavirus. several governors raising concerns that the healthcare system could be overwhelmed if cases continue to surge. so joining me now, by phone, is colorado governor jared polis. he was on the call with the president today. i know it's a very busy time for you so we appreciate that you could join us by phone, governor. how you doing? >> well, you know, don, doing the best we can. this is going to be tough and get worse before it gets better. but we'll make it through it. >> so you announced today the suspension of dine-in services at colorado restaurants and bars for 30 days, along with the closure of gyms, casinos, and theaters. very similar to what's happening in the tristate area here in new york. you have ordered the closure of ski resorts. is that eno

last week there were five confirmed cases of ohio in your state.e confirmed cases right now. you told me last week that you suspect there could be 100,000 people in ohio right now who have coronavirus. do you still believe that? >> oh, yeah. look, i mean, if you talk to the experts, no one knows how many are out there. but that is a decent estimate. and, you know, we could be a little bit off, it may be higher, it may be lower. what we do know from the experts is that this reproduces in a sense, it infects people every six days in the sense that it doubles. and so this is why, you know, it makes such a big difference to get in there early enough so that you can -- you can't stop it, you can't cut its feet off, but what you can do is spread it out. you can slow it down. one of the concerns we have in ohio, and i know across the country, is whether or not -- whether or not our folks can -- you know, who are running hospitals, are people at the front line, are going to have enough equipment, whether they're going to have all the things that they need,

ohio's governor defied a court order, and canceled today's primary moving it to june after the ohio health director ordered the polls closed over the coronavirus threat. the growing number of crackdowns coming as u.s. health officials warn we don't have enough, the federal stockpile, medical supplies is not adequate and that means that in america, there are not enough masks, gowns and gloves to fight what is coming. how will the markets react to all of this. we're live at the stock exchange, one day after the dow saw its worst point drop in more than 30 years, plunging a staggering 3,000 points. beating the mark set in days before the great depression. our team is covering all of this, from every angle, let's begin with our national correspondent brynn gingras in new york. san francisco essentially on lockdown. and new york city's mayor bill de blasio not ruling that out? >> reporter: he's not ruling that out, even though the state and several others across the country have already taken some very aggressive measures. we're talking about not only the tristate, new york, new jersey, connect

arizona, ohio, florida, and illinois.e turbulence over the course of the afternoon and into the evening. polling places in ohio filled up this weekend with long lines of people trying to vote early. upon seeing that, ohio governor mike dewine, who has been aggressive in trying to fight the coronavirus epidemic, announced that he would try to postpone in-person voting tomorrow, to take place instead in june. governor dewine said, quote, we cannot tell people to stay inside but also tell them to go out and vote. the ohio governor said he did not believe there was any way to stay within cdc guidelines for how to deal with the pandemic while also holding in-person voting in ohio tomorrow. now, that said, the governor in ohio doesn't have the power to delay elections on his own. what he did instead was he supported a lawsuit that was filed by some people vulnerable to the virus who had opposed the plan for tomorrow's primary. well, tonight an ohio judge has rejected the proposal to delay tomorrow's primary despite the sort of

i'm not going to second guess the decision made by the governor of ohio. i know other voting is going to go on today taking care to make sure particularly the vulnerable populations who are either working at or going to the polling places are addressed. so, again, you've got state and local leaders having to step up and really be the ones expressing the gravity of this situation. >> rich, you say that the failures of public policy and imagination have been stalking us for years. >> yeah. >> in terms of pandemic response. for years there's a long-term fall you're, but there's also a more acute failure in some ways over the last two months. this showed up in china in january. >> i think there's quite a lot of failures. one thing is your question before about how you motivate people, one can you need to have trust in those people who are giving you the message. and one of the nice things in h1n1 was that the elected officials let public health leaders lead. so we heard from public health leaders, the federal, state, and local level every day. mistakes were ma

they know it's also going into the ohio river. there's a public water supply well field next-door so they start sampling the water supplies and by 1984 they found the chemical is in the drinking water in ohio and west virginia. by 1984 though this chemical still unregulated. the epa and the state pretty much don't even know it's out there. you may think how does this happen? that law that came out in 1976, the toxic substances control act, supposed to regulate new chemicals going on the market, it's focused on new ones. one that come out after 1976. what about these existing chemicals like pfoa and flou that have been out since the 50s? the loss is essentially the company's manufacturing these chemicals have to tell epa if they think the chemical presents a risk to human health or the environment and these internal studies i'mseeing , cancer being caused in animals, there is repeated discussion internally in the company to do a report to the epa and the decision was no and then when it's found in the public water supply that's als

the next 24 hours on this ohio senator rob portman hopes it doesn't take longer than that for congress to hash out a deal to me is irresponsible for us not to pass leaders on both sides say they're close to sealing the more than trillion dollar deal but senate democrats including ohio senator sherrod brown said the package doesn't do enough to help struggling americans overwhelmingly helps wall street also big airlines. >>doesn't trickle down to workers but some republicans say democrats are asking for too much including sending more money to individual states something the gop says can be addressed later on if needed. >>we shouldn't hold up the legislation for that. there's all kinds of things in here that are critically important right now democrats argue if something's going to get past. it should cover as many needs as possible by want to do this quickly but we've got to do it right a vote could come as early as today reporting in washington, i'm trevor shirley. >>well the deadline for everybody to get the real id is now delayed because of the

the numbers are going up dramatically in ohio as well. what is your status as far as this medical concern is concern ed? well, i got a conference call in the morning with all our hospitals, but you know, we know that it's thin. we know this is very, very thin. and that's one of the reasons i keep pleading with the people of the state of ohio, you know, we can slow this thing down. if we slow there thing down, our hospitals, our doctors are going to be able to hand him it. if we don't, we go up like italy did. you know, we can't guarantee we are going to be able to handle it. it's not, washington, it's not just people who have coronavirus. it's going to be people who have heart attacks, strokes. people who need the care and they're all going to be, you know, competing and so, we've got to do what we can to slow this thing down. and we can control it. we really can control it by our own actions every single day. >> we have some of the best hospitals in the world right in ohio at the cleveland clinic. >> a great hospital. >> good luck to you

in ohio, they say two weeks.this is the most significant expansion of our unemployment insurance system in history by far. it's going to significantly expand the number of individuals who are eligible to receive benefits, particularly self-employed, so it broadens those who qualify for unemployment insurance. these folks, by the way, have never been covered by unemployment insurance before. what's more, it provides a flat increase of $600 per week per person in the unemployment insurance system. this means that for low and low, medium income folks, let's say $40,000 to $50,000 a year, they will essentially have wage replacement now through notre dame insurance. this is a big difference. in ohio, unemployed insurance is one-third of your wages for those same individuals. now it will be topped up. so to the point earlier that this is a highly partisan bill, i'm sorry. this legislation reflects the priorities of democrats and republicans, and this is an example of that. and we have to acknowledge it. is the bill per

i want to stick with ohio for one second. ron, just so people know, many people already know this, you're advising joe biden, but i'm asking you as a matter of public health, also an area of your expertise, ron, the decision in ohio, how reasonable do you think it was to call off the election there, particularly when they didn't make the same decision in florida, arizona and illinois? >> look, i have been generally praiseworthy of what govern dewine has done, one of the leading governors on this. along with governor cuomo, governor hogan, it is not a partisan issue. a little worried it was done in the defiance of the court order and the state didn't pursue this through the courts. i understand why governor dewine did what he did. but we can have public health and democracy. people voted during world war ii. we have to make sure we're doing things the right way, here, the fact that the court ordered him not to do this and he didn't appeal that order is a little concerning. overall, i think what governor dewine has done in this

portman: madam president, my colleague from ohio just spoke about nathaniel r. jones whrofs a circuit court judge, sixth circuit court of appeals in cincinnati and had a distinguished career as a judge, but a long distinguished career as a true champion of civil rights, going back to the 1960's and was also general counsel tow naacp when landmark cases were decided. i happened to have had privilege of getting to know him over the years and considered him a dear friend. we have a resolution that passed the united states senate last month with regard to judge jones, and i'm pleased to join my colleague, sherrod brown, today in paying tribute again to nathaniel r. jones. that resolution is now in the "congressional record" and there for the ages for all of us to be able to understand the importance of the work he did and for future generations, then to understand the importance of the march to freedom that he represented. i'm also here on the floor today to highlight the introduction of landmark new legislation called the great american outdoors act. it's to ensure

mike dewine of ohio, and democratic governor j. bmpb. pritzker of pritzker, let me st with what happened at o'hare. you weren't the only airport, but every international airport seemed to have a similar situation. dr. fauci seemed to say that is what is going to happen when you come back into this country. what do you believe should have been done that wasn't done. >> that's not right. i have enormous respect for dr. fauci, but that's just incorrect. we knew when the president gave the orders that european travel back to the united states was going to be cut off, that there would be an influx of people, americans and others, that would come before the final cutoff. so what should have happened? they should have increased the customs and border patrol numbers. and they should have increased the number of cdc personnel on the ground doing those checks. they did neither of those. last night, as people were flooding into o'hare airport, they were stuck in a small area. hundreds and hundreds of people. and that's exactly what you don't want i
