in st. louisdditional 1,800 new hospital da over the past two weeks as the positivity rate there reaches 14%. allison barber joining me now from outside st. louis. allison, what have you learned from health care workers there? >> reporter: we went on to one of the icu hospitals here in st. paul. the majority of the patients had covid-19, but some did not. other emergencies have not stopped because of covid-19. we saw that noncovid-19 patient coded. we want to warn you that the video we are about to show you is troubling and could be considered graphic for some. >> attention, please. >> cart. ultrasound. >> anything i can do to help? >> hold for greg, ultrasound. >> everybody clear. >> clear. >> two, three -- >> yes, shock. continue doing cpr. >> going in. >> if you noticed in that video, it took a lot of health care workers in that room fighting tooth and nail to stabilize that patient and bring them back. when you have a number of covid patients being hospitalized every single day, experts say it

think of that, not an available space in the city of st. louis and last month a dear friend of mine feeling ill who lived in illinois went to the area and went to one of the most outstanding hospitals in the city and she was told she couldn't be admitted because there was no room for her and she went to the second most reputable hospital in the city with the same report. finally, with the third try she was admitted to another hospital in three days later she passed away. in a desperate situation she was turned away from two major hospitals because they did not have room so we can argue long about the danger of this covid-19 whether it is itmething to take seriously or not and there are still those who insist it is not. we can't escape the reality that 13 million americans have already 13.5 have already been infected with covid virus and over 267,000 american lives have been lost. my heart goes out to those families, their loved ones and some of whom were my friends and one very close friend who lost their lives. for all of those fighting covid-19

one day last week the st. louis hospitals were unable to take a covid-19 patient, and as result that patient was transported almost 100 miles away to quincy illinois to hospital. so the patient to receive the care that they need. think of that. not an available space in the city of st. louis. last month, a dear friend of mine feeling ill who lived in illinois, with over to the st. louis area in which one of the most outstanding hospitals in the city. sheas was told she couldn't be admitted because there was no room for her. she went to the second most reputable hospital in the city with the same report. finally, with a third try she was admitted to another hospital. three days later she passed away. in desperate situations she was turned away from two major hospitals because they didn't have been. so we can argue long and hard about the danger of this covid-19, whether it is something to take seriously or not. there are still those whoit inst it is not. what we can't escape the reality that 13 million americans have

st. louis we red cross motor corps. ambulance teams are drilling to get ready for their work. another piece of the puzzle in 1918 and 1919 was that most male doctors, or at least many of them, had been drafted or joined the war effort. there were lots of nurses as well overseas. so there was a nursing shortage and a doctor and medical staff shortage that was part of that moment. there were lots of calls for needing more nurses and more medical care in that era. another thing to think about, as you see so many images of the red cross and civil society organizations, and voluntary organizations, although the red cross emerges as a public private hybrid. american expectations of public health were very different in this era. americans, and citizens around the world, did not cling to the government to provide for all of their medical care. they often felt back on community resources, church groups and other organizations. national, state and local ones like the red cross to help out in times like t

one example from st. louis, missouri, where black women came together under the auspices of the phillips wheatley branch of the ywca, named for the 18th century poet. there, they ran a suffrage school and taught one another to poll taxes, how to pass literacy tests, how to grapple with begrudging officials. they even managed to attract men to the suffrage school, who thought that, perhaps, 1920 represented a moment in which they might reclaim the voting rights that they had lost decades before. black women turned out in st. louis, and the papers reported that nearly every woman in the city registered that season. black women came to represent somewhere between 10% and 20% of new voters. and the stakes were high in st. louis, a city where local officials were using referendums to impose housing segregation, for the first time by law in the city of st. louis, black women are turning out not only to realize their own personal ambitions, not only to further women's interests, but to contribute to the struggle again

kmox in st. louis. she wanted to do more. she was very interested in current events. there was a myth that men will listen to women doing news. like, becausewas why? she proposed the idea of doing what today we would call human interest. human interest is stories where there are interviews of people and it tells an emotional story, may be sad, or you bond with the characters. and she proposes this. because she is a woman it is decided that they will call the show, "news from a woman's eyes. " just go witho this. get stories that nobody else gets. cbs takes notice of her and hires her to come to new york and do news on the cbs radio network. this is a bigger deal than we might think. there are two women doing news back then in the entire united states. dorothy thompson is one and we will talk about her some other time. imagine you are a little grow growing up and you turn on the radio and there is catherine. what she was doing by today's standards would be considered gendered. but there is nothing to compare it to. she is doing news. so it's considered soft news, that

far left st. louisit prosecutor kim gardner has now been disqualified from the case after a court ruled that she infringed on their right to a fair trial. she tried to fund raise off her role that case. does this mean your nightmare comes to an end come your wife's nightmare? >> not yet. the ruling of the court just disqualified the circuit attorney and the entire circuit attorney's office from my case. there's a separate judge ruling on my wife's case and he has not had that motion, we are going to file that motion on monday. all that means is we get a new prosecutor. what happens is now the case gets sent to the presiding judge to appoint some other prosecutor from another jurisdiction to continue the prosecution or at least have the option of doing so or i hope drop the charges. >> sean: they shouldn't have been brought in the first place, it's a legal weapon, we've gone through all of that before and the governor has already said is going to pardon you both. why are we going through the hoops when w

as you mentioned here at the st. louisrea food bank, we've seen a 42% increase in the food we're drigting. to put that in perspective, prepandemic we were distributing enough meals to provide approximately 3 million meals every month, but since covid has hit, we have had a skyrocketing increase. so now we're distributing over 5 million meals every month across our 26 counties in missouri and illinois. >> how are you keeping up with that demand? is your strategy different this year? >> sure. it's very different. first of all, we've had to bring on new partners. we are successful because we have a very robust network of food pantries and soup kitchens and transitional housing and community partners. we've on boarded 75 new partners since mid march bringing our network strength to well over 600. we've held over 1,300 of the mobile distribution events that the viewers are seeing on their screens right now. we're trying to do everything contactless. we're having our neighbors in need pull up in their vehicles. our volunteers ar

we had a real good black community in south st. louis and north st. uis with strong teachers and everything. we had control at our kids back then. once we started integrating, everything seemed to change. i can see integrating maybe for jobs, but socially, no. it was a very strange experience. in our own black communities, we had control of our kids and everything. we didn't have anybody telling us how to discipline our kids or anything. that is what i wanted to be said. thank you. guest: that is a unique proposition that many people do raise. one that says that maybe the goal of the movement should have been to ensure that you had the resources necessary in your own community and integration would have come eventually. but again, that the benefit of hindsight. when we are talking about brown v. board of education, chief justice warren had a unanimous opinion in which he held that segregation causes a system of inferiority in children and environments not conducive to learning. and you think about that separate but equal, you realize that chief justice

the greatest economic victory for north st. louis was the bipartisan effort to build a headquarters of the national geospatial intelligence agency. that $1.7 billion project is the largest single federal investment in st. louis history which many aextremely proud. mr. speaker, we have also built hundreds of units of new housing. e have also expanded organ and tissue donation registries, and i'm proud of the legacy and work from missouri's first congressional district. thank you again, mr. speaker. may god bless you-all. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentleman from wisconsin, for five minutes. mr. style: i rise to address one of the greatest thets to american safety, iran. it's the largest state sponsor of terrorism and from past actions we know the regime cannot be struss trusted. over the past four years progress has been made. our maximum pressure campaign and sanctions have reined in iran's power. normalization agreements between israel and numerous nations in the region continue to isolate iran.

other than st. louis bits of louisiana, at the very beginning, all the states were east of the mississippi river. susan: what was the population? steve: the population was gaining rapidly. it was only two or three million at the time of the revolution. by the time of my story, it is getting over 20 million. by the time of the civil war just after my story, it is 31 million people. it is seen as almost doubling in a generation. the median age is very low. it is a very young country. very rapidly expanding. lots of immigrants coming from europe, from ireland, and elsewhere. a rapidly changing and evolving country. and a country where distances are shrinking. here's what i mean by that. in 1800, if you were in new york city and you wanted to travel to st. louis, it might take you six weeks to get there if you did not have some disaster on the trip. by the 1840's, it was a mere 10 or 11 days to take that trip and it was much safer and more practical. by the mid-1840's and into the 1850's, the telegraph was ma

this was shot for the 1904 world's fair in st. louis.re were roughly 29 films that were produced for this series, of which 21 survived in the paper print collection. so this chronicles several factories that were owned by westinghouse. this one is called the panorama, the machine company aisle. a beautiful, beautiful film that was taken from an overhead crane that was moving along a track there in the factory and showing people below on the factory floor doing their work. a wonderful, amazing record of what american industry looked like at this particular time, and so, these films were incredibly popular when they were shown in 1904 in st. louis. they had special screenings for the westinghouse employees in pittsburgh. and so you will see these films used a lot in documentaries. these films were commissioned by westinghouse, but they were paid for, and american mutoscope and biograph actually shot them. the cameraman for these films, a man named billy bitzer, and becomes much more well-known in film history because he was the chief camer

where as st. louishich responded well, has a much more prolonged duration, but it is so much lower and is widely considered a success, right? so one of the things to think about is the way that this will also operate for us all. it is just around the corner, or perhaps also possibly in the spring. it is think of as three ways. we're thinking about going into a second wave now. so what happened there is st. louis, denver, pittsburgh, not as big as the philadelphia one, but a comparable moment. but the -- another piece of the muzzle it is what happened in pittsburgh with it's big peak. one big element for us to think about and take away is that they closed in a layered strategy. there was a powerful lobby in the city and they wanted to keep the schools open longer. public schools closed and they had more exemptions for masses, sometimes outdoor, sometimes indoor, and the argument by public health scholars about this is that that is partly why you saw this first peak and a second peak here from october int
