we're talking about south dakota, red state. seems to me, karl rove, you've got to go throughout and get those people on board with your agenda instead of calling the president stupid on this. the president -- this is so like president obama. he is going to let all the legal avenues play out before he makes a decision as to whether he's going to allow the pipeline to cross the border. it has to be permitted by every state, all the way down to the gulf. and so far, that isn't happening. president obama can wait until the cows come home. he can wait until this whole thing plays out legally. the problem is in red state nebraska, red state south dakota right now, they don't have the permits. why don't you tell the state supreme court in nebraska to hurry up. get your cell phones out, i want to know what you think. tonight's question -- do you favor the extended comment period on the keystone xl pipeline? text "a" for yes.

the senator from north dakota. mr. hoeven: with due deference to the good senator, i understand his desire to make sure that people who are unemployed receive assistance, and i think that he truly is a champion in that effort. i appreciate the opportunity to work with him in a bipartisan way, but i would submit that this very legislation absolutely compliments what he is trying to do and does it in a number of ways. first in terms of a permanent, a real long-term solution, meaning getting those people back to work, but second in terms of paying for it, in terms of actually paying for the cost of unemployment insurance, these will -- these provisions -- this amendment and the other amendment that we are offering will actually help create revenue to do what the senator is trying to do, and for that reason i think it is absolutely complementary to the legislation at hand and will, in fact, add bipartisan support to passage of that legislation. let me cite one more, i think, extremely compelling study that relates to thi

reid: before my friend from north dakota -- south dakota leaves the floor, 2964 is the big one then? okay. mr. president, reserving the right to object, i'm happy to see a number of republican colleagues come to the floor. we've been talking about this issue for days now, and to discuss, i thought, the subject of equal pay. -- for women. but there's been no talk about equal pay for women. the closest that anything in that regard has been suggested is a bill that says that if you have to work overtime, then you have a choice of going home or doing the overtime. but, mr. president, the reason we don't have laws like that is because there can be such advantage taken of the employee, because you're at the beck and call of the employer -- the beckon call of the employer. i think most labor laws would protect against that now. i'm surprised we have heard literally no one come to the floor except on one occasion -- i could have missed it -- and his statement -- the republican senator's statement was that this was -- this legislation of senator mikulski's was a trial lawyer's dream. the wome

roads were picketed in south dakota and nebraska.d tear-gassed, but they held firm. north dakota organized and the georgia dairymen dumped their milk. six weeks after the sioux city strike began, it was all over. although scattered protests continued throughout the nation, they were faint echoes of the anger that spilled over at sioux city. why was the strike unsuccessful? the milk dealers could find enough milk supply somewhere to thwart the desires of the dairy farmer. so there didn't seem to be much that farmers could do to improve their general lot. not individual action, not institutional activity, not even group protests and violence. economic analyst richard gill explains why farmers couldn't find their way out of this terrible economic predicament. there are really two points to be made here. the first is that the dairy farmers in sioux city and north dakota and georgia were not being at all irrational in trying to curtail milk supplies on the market. the reason it made sense from their point of view is that the demand for mi

talk about dakota, sir. >> guest: well, dakota highier is simply illustrative, he made sergeant leaderg when he was 19. the point about seem like dakota -- people like dakota, which gives me great hope in the future, is that you get these young men whose environment is such that when they come in, they know if you join the marine corps, the marine corps doesn't join you. and if you come in, you live up to a certain set of standards. they'll train you, but you have to have the right stuff to given with. and they put that together, and it makes a composite that's an excellent fighting man. and dakota meyer, who was awarded the medal of honor, and others like captain swenson who was the army captain who was awarded the medal of honor, they illustrate the kinds of young men that we want in this service, and we're getting them. we're getting them. our services are doing better, not worse. so i'm, i am optimistic about what we're doing internal to the services. i am not optimistic about the level of money that we're giving to them to do their job. we're cutting them too muchment muchment --

this is the state of an energy boom in texas, dakota. wells create thousands of jobs. shell reserves were not economical to drill, are the focus of energy projects in 30 states. as energy projects draw up plans for new wells, the game changer is horizontal trilling, alongside an process known as fracking. here is how it works. drillers bore into the earth, turn sideways and inject sand and water into the game at high pressure, fracturing the rocks. the fracking fluid is drawn out to allow for oil and gas to be extracted. 15 to 20% of the fluid comes out, raising concerns about contamination no groundwater, especially if a rupture occurs. >> some of the wells are deep, some are not. problems happen at any point in the well, starting at the surface, going all the way to the bottom. >> energy companies say they have developed technologies to fortify wells and are soaking solutions to the problem. but maintain that the economic rewards outweight the risks. these are problems that the great entrepreneurs of the world look into this. it will take time. questions about damage

>> let me ask you this about the permitting process in south dakota.their attitudes in south dakota, is the permitting process going to be harder this time around? >> you know what, with all the misinformation that is being pumped out by transcanada, a lot of people aren't aware of what is going on. everybody thinks, oh, we'll make gasoline. we'll get secure. no, it's not. you can't make gasoline from it. people don't know what the facts are. they don't realize that putting the pipeline so close to our production wells for water, for agriculture to make the food that we all eat, there is a depression. it will draw a spill towards it. because that saturated soil creates a vacuum. so i don't think people understand that. they really don't know the facts. >> that's why we'll keep covering the story. thank you both for joining us. we will do this again. >>> coming up, pat robertson says we're all doomed again. i can't wait. pretend ders is next. predicting the future is a pretty difficult thing to do. but, manufacturing in the united states means advanced

the permit for the pipeline going through the state of south dakota expires.ling me over the weekend that the attitude of many of the residents of south dakota, and of course a residual of this protest, is that it's going to be harder to get the pipeline permitted through south dakota. of course, the state supreme court will hear it this fall, the decision early next year, that would be 2015, and then of course the public service commission would take about eight or nine months to make a decision. this could go smack-dab into the conversation amongst all of the candidates who want to be the next president of the united states. the president has been very clear, he's going to respect the legal process and let this play out. >>> up next, i'm taking your questions, ask ed live. still to come, the nba investigates clippers owner donald sterling. stay tuned for the punch out. humans. even when we cross our t's and dot our i's, we still run into problems. namely, other humans. which is why at liberty mutual insurance, auto policies come with new car replacement and

this is this little town in north dakota of 15 people where a small group of white supremacists moved in. they attempted to basically set up homesteads and take over the town. the town of leith, at one point, considered disbanding itself, to stop these nazis from having anything take over. the leader of that band in leith, north dakota, is currently in jail facing seven charges including terrorizing the town officials in leith. but from jail, he reportedly had contact on saturday with the guy who on sunday went on to do those kansas city shootings. in 2009, the department of homeland security prepared a draft report on the national security threat of homegrown right-wing extremists in the united states. after a draft of the report was leaked, there was a huge backlash on the political right and on the fox news channel in particular. a huge backlash against the department of homeland security, even studying the possibility that there might be a threat of violence from right-wing extremists in this country. that final report was never released. the lead author of the report later said t

the presiding officer: the senator from south dakota. mr. thune: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, i come to the floor today to talk about jobs. once again this week the senate is taking up an extension of unemployment benefits, which will be the 13th such extension since 2008. and arguably, of course, we came out of an economic downturn, a lot of people hurt by that, a lot of people in need of help and assistance and yet here we are, what, six years later now and we're still talking about extending unemployment benefits. why? because we haven't created the number of jobs that are necessary to get the people who've been unemployed for a long period of time back to work. and once again we've got senate democrats ignoring the real issue, which is the lack of jobs that has left so many americans struggling to find work. the solution to years of high unemployment is not perpetual extensions of unemployment benefits but the creation of new jobs. steady, good-paying jobs with opportunity for advancement. workers don't want to spend years on meager government benefits. they wan
