and we've attracted thousands of jobs to north dakota. it's projected by 2020 the jobs in the oil industry will increase by over 16,000, that's a direct result of developing these energy resources in north dakota d. it's like a -- north dakota. it's like a 35% increase over the 2010 levels. north dakota's unemployment is less than 3.5%, it's 3.2%. in western north dakota where the development is taking place we can't find enough people to work. in that county unemployment is below 1%, starting wages for people are over $80,000, we need people to help increase the supply of oil. i just think every day when i come -- when i'm out here and coming back from north dakota, imagine what we could do if our whole country had the same approach as we do in north dakota. the jobs that we could create across this country and the security that we could protect within our country by reducing our dependence on foreign oil. we could reduce our 9.2% unemployment rate if we move forward with energy development. we have to get rid of the burdensome regulatio

showers and thunderstorms through south dakota. pierre, south dakota, has storms just skirting by to your south. it crosses interstate 90 here. for anyone traveling there and the fargo area. the heat is actually the bigger store as we go throughout this holiday weekend. yesterday the hot weather was up here in the dakotas, but now it's shifting and heading eastward. now we're watching chicago. heat advisory for you to minneapolis. the areas in orange are under heat warnings. that includes the greater kansas city area, right around tulsa, oklahoma, to wichita. that's where it's not just hot, but also humid too. a little dangerous heat index. especially for the elderly. check on them in those location wrshz how hot will it be today? 97 in chicago. 98, kansas city. let's stay in the shade, ac, or pool. 100 in dallas once again. that's nothing new for you also oklahoma city. also hot around phoenix, temperature at 113 for you today. it's not chilly either down here in the southeast. from atlanta to orlando, temperatures in the 90s, but

my state of south dakota has that. i know that the live free or die state of new hampshire has a very -- had some very distinct views and direct views about the role of government in making government's role limited and keeping spending under control, living within your means. and this cut, cap and balance approach to that, in my view, is the correct approach because it does put the -- the emphasis on getting spending under control. and if you look at the five times that our country's balanced the budget since 1969, the average amount that we spent was just under 18.7% of our g.d.p. in other words, of our entire economy. this this year, we're set to spend 24.3% of our g.d.p. that's just on the federal government. and historic highs. if you look at the president's budget, he spends substantially above this average for every year in his budget. you literally have to go back to the end of world war ii to find a time when we spent this amount as a percentage of our g.d.p. on the federal government. a part of the reason for

it's not a south dakota-based point of view. then converting over to christianity. >> so why would someone's religious conversion be important to homeland security conference in rapid city, south dakota? >> reporter: you know, i really couldn't figure that out. and based on further questions i really didn't get a good answer from jim carpenter with the south dakota department of homeland security. the federal department of homeland security, anderson, we went to trying to find out if they do any vetting of speakers if they had any idea about shoebat. if anyone in the federal government did what we have done, try to check out all his claims. well, what we got from homeland security -- "corrective action will be taken". we have not and will not tolerate training programs or any dhs supported program that rely on racial or ethnic profiling". anderson, based on the three sessions we sat in on with walid shoebat in our interview with him we can tell you he does advocate profiling and flatly being suspicious of anybody who's moslem. >

south dakota's homeland security people actually tried to keep us out of the conference.t in only after they had to call the governor's office. as for shoebat, he did get testy. later sessions after that interview he began attacking the media, specifically cnn for doubting his story. he has since accused us and you, anderson, of being used by the council on american islamic relations, even suggesting that group was the primary source for our report, which of course is not true. >> and it's interesting. i mean, if somebody's running a legitimate foundation that's tax-exempt and stuff, usually they're very willing to be transparent and willing to give documents and stuff. it sounds like those guys were saying we'll send you these documents and then nothing shows up. >> no. and it's all wrapped in this secrecy and security. they're under the impression we're asking for the names of some christian trainees in the middle east that are being persecuted. we're not. we're just trying to figure out where is the money going because we cannot find out where this money is going. >> i

and illinois, north dakota one after them. they had to collect taxes, have an early computer program you can go online and check in order things a lot like a website. it went when north it would try to get them to collect taxes once the supreme court found 8-1 in north dakota that under the article 1 of the commerce clause of the constitution commerce clause has the right to regulate regulate interstate commerce and that has been inferred with a call the durbin duty to dormant commerce clause which is the state has the right to impede or burden, the supreme court found h-1 to force and hosted retailer violates the constitution. they left open to the u.s. and the power to do, to create some sort of national system of the congress hasn't done that. so, this is it goes against the green of the supreme court decision from 20 years ago. then i found on the policy side its -- it goes after people, websites like ours. we have an affiliate, an affiliate marketing relationship with anyone in california. 40 paulson in this country or af

north dakota or sort of changing the whole doctrine. and, but until they do that, i think tax lawyers are pretty confident that once this gets kicked up all the levels from new york up to the supreme court it will be decided against new york, you know, until -- or unless it will be a sharp turn in supreme court reasoning if they go from an 8-1 decision 20 years ago to a completely, to taking the other side now. >> host: mr. byrne, are you collecting sales tax in be new york, and what about california? >> guest: no, we're collecting sales tax in neither place because as soon as the law gets passed we, or the night before it gets passed or becomes effective, we send an e-mail to all of our affiliates saying, very record ri, we thank you, we built a nice record together, but as long as your state has this law, we have to sever our relationship. as soon as they expand the nexus to include a relationship with those small businesses, we sever the relationships. so we don't have any question in our view that we should be collecting tax. but wi

north dakota went after them. it was in illinois and north dakota went after them, people to have to take them to collect taxes. they had an early computer program. you could go on-line and check in and order things, a lot like a website. when north dakota tried to get them to collect taxes, it went to the supreme court and the supreme court found 8-1 in the case that under the article one section 8 of the commerce clause of the constitution says congress has the right to regulate interstate commerce, and from that has been inferred what they kaleed the dormant commerce clause which is the state's right to impede or burden interstate commerce and the supreme court found 8-1 that forced an outof state retailer to collect their tax violates the constitution. now, they left open to the u.s. power to do, to create some sort of national system but the u.s. congress has not done that, so this is flagrantly goes against the grain of a supreme court decision from 20 years ago, and then on the policy side, it goes after pe
