michael: apparently the incidence of covid has accelerated dramatically in teton county, wyoming.y has gone to a code red which impedes the ability to have meetings in large numbers so they were forced to go to a virtual format. they will host it via zoom on august 27, friday. looks like they will cut off the saturday portion of it. no doubt. in the kansas city fed, and those of us who were going or going to be really disappointed. taylor: the irony of this is economists are gauging their ripple effect on the economy from delta, in a statement saying that "you can get a hotel refund." the hotel now is no longer going to have visitors. local restaurants, drivers, will no longer have visitors. so you will be seeing, on a small scale at least, some of the ripple effects on a pullback on the economy. michael: that is what is going to be happening around the country in various areas. we are not seeing lockdowns as such, but we are going to be seeing some of these kinds of interruptions. the question becomes if you are a tourist can you see this news, you not go out to grand teton natio

that was wyoming who did that. the resilience of not only keeping life going, having -- you had chores, norm had to collect the coal every day for the little potbelly stove they had in their room, he helped his mother with laundry, which was no easy thing. back home she had a washing machine, here everything had to be scrubbed in a tub, you're carrying clothes in a basket to the laundry center, you stand in line to get in there, you scrub the clothes, no dryers or anything, now you take the wet clothes back through the snow to your little room and hang it up and try to get it to all dry. so a lot of just basic work like that, but the fun part, you had a couple of movie theaters there that you could go to, there were dances, there were concerts, people had brought musical instruments with them or ordered them from the sears & roebuck catalog or a friend from home would send them one. so you had bands and orchestras. music was very important in the camps. there was flower arranging. you mentioned the language classes

so the chances of that being true, wyoming has the smallest population, and that's evanstont wyoming,outheastern part almost tode the utah border. my dad grew up on a ranch in the black hills on the opposite side of the state. my mother is in rollins on interstate 80. chances are if you ever took a road trip you after rollins, and it was such a special place for us. those were my vacations. so i didn't go on anything fancy growing up. i don't think i saw the ocean until i was 16 years old. we went to the rancher to my grandmother's place in new orleans and i just love that. and i think that is the oldest grandchild that had some cachet, we were pretty self-sufficient on the ranch. there was a big garden. we raised cattle, some pigs, horses and chickens and all that good stuff and my grandfather was a county commissioner ordered when did cheney was running for congress in wyoming. so i was involved in and aware of politics and public service early on. especially energy issues, my grandfather was very much into that. he always believed that america needed to be energy independent. so i

senator from wyoming. and i got elected to the house of representatives in 1974, and he got elected in 1978. but here we are in 1943 in a pup tent together -- >> playing a prank on the bully. >> and we became the very best of friends and to this day we still vacation together twice a year. we go on trips. we have dinner, and i'm on the phone with him probably four or five times a week with him right now. so we are the best of friends, but he is a republican from wyoming and i'm a liberal democrat from california, and, but we are still the best of friends. >> and worked together on the civil liberties act, and that's real interesting. i think that you could probably could have pulled it off on your own, norm, but i think alan was very helpful, if you want to explain how. >> he was very helpful because on the senate side he was very helpful in the beginning getting cosponsors for the bill and getting people to vote yes on the hr-442. and it was named because of the 442nd regiment or combat team that served s

when he was running for congress in wyoming. so i was kind of involved in their politics and public service as well early on. especially energy issues my grandfather was really into that that america needed to be more energy independent. >> very forward thinking. >> yes, i had a chance to have thatpe experience. but my father went to college, the first of his family to go, o college. >> did that seem like -- let's talkar about that, moving to denver, did that seem like a big deal when it. >> well, i was quite young. but yes, it was a big deal when i was young. and they were adventurous in this way. and that includes moving quite a bit. my husband was in the royal air force and so it was part of it. >> you started reading at an early age. >> all things, and and then i loved reading about the times but i think that one of the things most important for wherem today, is something that encourage people to try to do it they can. when i was in third grade, my dad started this tradition with me where i had read the rocky mountain news b

, republican, wyoming. even wyoming has literally $170.00 the california population. and they have the filibuster, which allows 40 senators representing as little as 11 percent of the us population to veto any build a like. so what america is suffering from is a minority dictatorship. it's and that dictatorship is baked into a 234 year old constitution, which thanks to a completely dysfunctional amending clause, is effectively unchangeable. so, so that's what's causing the, this, the tumbled, the majority wants to rule majority has a right to rule, but the majority is not allowed to rule due to an 18th century law dating from the age of powdered wigs and 2 teeth. it's a matter of rush at the same at the same government as it had under a catherine the great, well, i would not want to live on under that government. okay. you make very fair points . but, you know, arthur, you know, until the filibuster was a problem for the democrats. they used it all of the time. ok, so, you know, and plus, you know, daniel m

that was wyoming that did that. and the... the resilience of not only people going, having had georges... norm had to collect coal every day from a little pot stove that they had in their room. he helped his mother from -- with laundry, which was no easy thing. no washing machines, here had a scrubbing tub. you're carrying clothes in a basket to the laundry center. you stand in line. you get in there, describe the clothes. no dryers or anything, you take the wet clothes back through the snow, and everything to your little room, and you hang it up, and try to get it to all dry. so, a lot of just a basic work like that. but the fun part, you had a couple of movie theaters there. you can go to, there were dances, concerts, people had brought musical instruments with them. or our friend from home, it would send them one. so you headbands, orchestras, music was very important in the camps. there were flower arrangements. you mentioned the language classes. there were people playing chess, getting together. kids loved to dance. they
