i asked amy klobuchar of minnesota about this the other night at the state of the union.is what she had to say. >> the compromise is really based on a very specific provision that affects only 16 states and it's how they leverage their heating money, their food stamp money and doesn't affect most the people in this country in any way. >> what's your response to that? >> you know, it affects 850,000 people. and it takes on average about $90 out of their pockets a month. i would suggest that the people affected will think differently of amy klobuchar and whether or not it's not a big deal. it's a very big deal. especially -- this comes out of the program, a program that actually if you are enrolled in it, you get assistance for heating. if you had as little as $1, you got additional funding for food stamps. and they change that now to $20. so there are a lot of people who now are going it have to really choose between heating their homes, and it's cold right now. >> right. that's what it is. >> that's what it's about. >> basically you're going to take the dollars and choose

amy klobuchar. >> the president mentioned tonight. >> that's right. did you have a chance to meet with the president's guest from minneapolis? punch pizza? >> i certainly did. we had the ceo, john, in my office along with a cook that the president mentioned, nick. they were excited to be here. i think it was a great example of a small company with a number of pizza places in minnesota that just on their own decided they can compete better if they increase the minimum wage. i will say i may have been the only one cheering in the chamber when the pizza place was mentioned. it was a great example. i thought the president's speech, not only touched on that frame of the economic opportunity, how important it is, but the work force training and also, i think, the most surprising moment was probably the reaction when he said we're not living in a "mad men" episode. and got the entire chamber, as far as i could see, i'm sure a few were -- most of the people most republicans stood when he said women, if they do the same amount of work, should be paid the same.
